[Bureau Office] Unepected Suprise (Private Keldon)

[Atl Myrsa]

The offices of the Bureau of the Arcane and home to the Lord Imperial Magus is located along the southern edge of the Imperial Forum. The Bureau is a large three story building that grants the impression of grandeur. Sheathed in white marble the building presented a impressive image to all visitor. The ground floor was dominated by the entrance to the stately building. A large half circler porch extended outward the outer edge of the porch were made of large marble columns that supported a ceiling for the porch. Resting atop the porches roof is a large statue that the causal observer appeared to be little more than abstract art. To the trained eye one could see the bore the symbols of the arcane fields.

The front of the second floor was faced with large windows that appeared to be curtained against the unwanted eyes. Along the third floor was a large stained glass window that recreated the image of Diana’s final battle. From the ground though it was hard to tell all of the details of the finally crafted window. The doors to the Bureau were large oak that considering the building the belonged to were strangle plain.

The entrance to the Bureau was designed to greet visitors. Polished wooden boards covered the floor. On the floor was a soft and large black and red silk carpet that stretched down the middle of the chamber towards the back of the room. Located in the center of the carpet was the crest of the bureau of the Arcane. Either side of the carpet was flanked by a couch made of cherry wood and polished till they gleamed. The couches were also over stuffed and had flora patterns in reds and gold.

At the end of the carpet was a large desk also made of the same polished cherry wood as the couches. The owner of the desk was a young elf female. She was sitting behind the desk filling out paper work seeming to be very bus but as visitor approached the desk she would stand and bow to them. While clearly and elf, she lacked the elven beauty that so marked the race, she wasn’t ugly, but almost plain looking. Her skin a dark grey that was off set by her black hair and light brown eyes.

"Serale Visitor. How may I help you?"

*********

The Offices of the Lord Imperial Magus could be found on the top floor of the Arcane Bureau. The stairs lead to a solid oak door that was rather plain except for a circle in the middle that was divided into seven sections each showing a symbol of a different sphere of arcane. The only other future of the room was a man standing outside of the door. He appeared to be youngish in his twenties and human. The man was dressed in red and black with the crest of the Imperial Magus on his breast. Underneath his surecoat was a set of armor and a blade at his other side. The Guards was the physical defense and the a field against spell casting was the primary arcane defense.

The room beyond was a large and comfortable. The primary feature of the room was a large desk. Made of solid oak there were strange images carved along the sides that from the door were hard to see. The light in the room seemed to mostly be drawn there. The desk itself was clean except for a couple folders that were placed into a pile right next to were the occupant worked.

Behind the desk was a large window that took up the whole of the wall. Images showing the last battle of Diana seemed to dance across the glass. Placed in the center of the large window was a map of the Empire with markings for all of the cities and mountians and major rivers of the Empire.

Two more desks occupied the room. Located next to the door. Situated so that the occupents could look at the main desk these two were also carved from rich oak. One was completely clean and another was covered in folders and papers.

One of the remaining walls was completely covered in book selves. They seemed to be almost groaning from the weight of all of the books. Most were normal sized that one would expect to find any were else. A few were small things, and some were so large children could be squashed by them.

The last wall held a fire place that was currently ablaze giving off light and warmth in the cold winter. Four chairs were positioned around the fire each with a little end table between them. They were richly embroidered with geometric patterns on them. One last table sat next to the fire place with a pot of tea, glasses, and a couple bodels sitting on it.

The young woman looked up and then down at her schedule. "His Imperial Excellency is taking vistors right now, but is currently meeting with some people. If you could wait for half a candle mark at most then he can see you or we can schedule an appointment for tomorrow."

[Keldon Elsdragon]

Keldon nodded his head. "Not a problem, I will gladly wait for when his Excellency has a moment." Keldon said with a warm smile.

[Atl Myrsa]

She nodded and then indicated to some of the seats around the room. It was acutally only a few minutes before the page returned followed by two other guests. He nodded towards Keldon, "Please follow me please." The young lad said turning to head back the way he came.

Atl looked up as the entered and smiled at his guest. "Please have a seat." He said indicating to a chair. "How may I help you this brightening." Their seemed to be something familiar but he wasn't sure what.

[Keldon Elsdragon]

Keldon nodded his head to Atl. "Serale your excellency, I was wondering if your office had any plans for the city of paxia."

[Atl Myrsa]

Atl smiled and week smile. "As of currently no. But most of my time has recently been spent in reorganizing this office." He wondered what was one the young mans mind. "I assume thought that you have something in mind. I would love to hear it." Atl enjoyed listening to other ideas.

[Keldon Elsdragon]

Keldon nodded his head. "Indeed I do sir, currently the city is being planned for reconstruction into a capable design for defense and protection of the western empire. Thus far the Imperial Sage has expressed interest in the reconstruction of the city and wish's to have his office located in the city. I was wondering if your office would be interested in having a stance within the rebuilt city, and I also came to inquire if you could spare some mages to assist in the reconstruction." he said with a pause. "There are men willing to work and the people are strong. But any assistance would be welcomed."

[Atl Myrsa]

Atl smiled at a common miss conception of his office. "I would love to help with the rebuilding of Paxia, and am willing to see what I can do to help, but you don't exactly understand my mandate. I don't have legions of magi at my beck and call, I can request that some join, to which I am more then willing, but my office madate is to watch over the teaching of the arcane until other powers are granted to it by the soverign of the empire." Atl leaned back. "I would be more then willing to send messangers around requestion help to aid Paxia in the rebuilding. I will be visiting Imperia soon, and could stop in Paxia and see what help I could personally offer, as well as offer advise of a magical nature for the rebuilding of the city."

[Keldon Elsdragon]

Keldon thought briefly, well he was under the mistaken impression that the office could do more, however at mention of the suggestion of being able to send messengers requesting aid for the city gave the Provost an idea. The city was going to need to be rebuilt, and thus far the military was planned to do a large portion with the people, however if the Imperial Sage could offer more assistance in the regards of magic he could do even more.

"I understand your Excellency, however what I was mainly curious about is your ability to call aid from various universities around the Empire. Namely those who are masters in the arts of the elements. As if I understand the magic correctly they could be a insurmountable assistance to the reconstruction of the city, and while the Mage Corps does have those who are skill in the art I am looking to make this both a military and civilian project." Keldon finished with a brief smile, yes with the help of mages that could increase the speed of construction massively and perhaps also help lower the costs involved.

[Atl Myrsa]

Atl nodded his head. "I will defently be placing a call for elementalists, as well as some druids. Also any other types I can find. Together it is possible for them to do large number of things." He looked Keldon. "Was there some particular idea you had in mind for their assistants, besides help building the city, if I have some specific goals that would help me in my collecting magi."

[Keldon Elsdragon]

Keldon nodded. "Yes, the Elementals would be a great asset in the construction of the cities walls specifically. With those up faster we can focus construction on the inside of the city and offer some protection. Right now it is all open, however it would also allow us to use there service in conjunction with the druids. I am hoping we can find druids who could fertilize the crops and get the land ready for farming to make up for some lost time, wherein the elementals could then control some small showers and so forth." he smiled, there was a long list he could likely use to get them to do.

[Atl Myrsa]

Atl nodded his head. "Oh course. Is there any other projects that could use with Magi attention as well in Paxia?"
