"Let it be so" Azhur concludes bowing. "Prince, it has been an honor and a joy to meet your hospitable people on our way back to our distant home. We will depart as soon as we will have gathered all our people and goods. Long live to you and your people!"
After having left the Prince, Azhur goes to Kalen and asks : "Would you be ready to leave for our next destination? It is still a long way back to home... " and after a short moment of introspection he asks to the consciousness of the walking castle "have you ever though about your return Kalen? More than any of us, you have been changed by this journey. Isn't your heart troubled by apprehension of your return, of what you will find there and what you will bring back there with you?"

Prince Dadas and his entourage - including the original Pentians that the
Fellowship rescued - visit King-elect Azhur in the Walking Castle, who is
dressed in the sumptuary, appropriate to his standing.

The Prince listens carefully to Azhur's words, as the minds of East and
West meet. He informs the King-elect however, that they have little fear
of pursuers and his people are safe but vigilant from the forces of the
Bliss of Ignorance.

The issue of the old agreements does cause concern, and the Prince again
thanks the group for their intervention. He points out that they have
continued the rituals of the past, but perhaps some modifications are
required. They will talk to their shaman and priests about this.

As for experimentation, the Prince respectfully declines and suggests that
the King-elect has many trollkin that would be a more appropriate subject.
The Prince is happy to exchange a modest amount of Black Lotus flowers and
seeds in exchange for a like quantity of Hazia.

As for an exchange of gifts, the Prince mentions that they are simple folk
but the Dragonnewt and The Forth were very fond of their salted and dried
fish. Two baskets of such foodstuff is provided, enough for any lengthy
journey.

On Rotterex's suggestion the most appropriate gift in return is a crate of
tinned Dwarf food. Perhaps not for eating, except in desperation, but a
useful objet d'art.
