Kalam Easthome
Kalam took a beer from the boy and told him to set the rest of the drinks down on the table. He drank deeply before answering.
"The type of messenger which bore this message is trustworthy enough to relay the message. It will have been the only one."
Seeing that Therlion did not completely understand what Kalam had just said he explained.
"There are not only humans, orcs and trolls which serve Morgoth. He has much more devious and powerful creatures which serve him. The messenger was a shadow creature. I still shudder from the effect it had on me and my men."
"You are actually very lucky that it was I, who received the message. Had my father got it, you would probably be dead by now. Although a mage like you could probably defend himself."-he said with a wink.
"I saw your magic when you took down the assassin earlier today. But don't worry! Apart from me and my sister no one will know about it."
"Let me tell you something. All day today there was heavy fighting between my father's troops and troops which rebelled against him. However the guard captain was a fool. Instead of looking for my support, which he could have gotten, he intended to wipe out my entire family. I agreed with his rebellion, but not the way he did it in. My father is a ruler who does not respect at all his people. He only looks at his own interests. That is why he joined up with Morgoth. Because he thinks that he is going to be on the winning side."
"I have men, who are loyal to me, but after today my father will be much more careful. I'd need your help and the help of Turin and the two others to be able to succeed in overthrowing him."
"And if you'll excuse us we have to go now. We shall talk again, when the time is right."
Kalam and Harmeth left leaving Therlion to his thoughts. The guard who was charged with accompanying him came into the room and waited upon Therlion.
