Astra:
As the King's only son, Aaron's claim to the throne is uncontestable, even
though there are many in Zendara - aware of his opinions on the rights of
women and other matters - who would like to contest it. Even though they
know that it ought to be a foregone conclusion, we are still mightily
relieved to see everyone in the room kneel in fealty.
It soon becomes clear that, what with the funeral and all the ensuing matters of state that Aaron has to see to as King, it will be at least seven days before he can travel on to Daria. We need his presence so as to make what we tell Erica convincing, and a lot could go wrong in Daria in a week. In the end we decide that we will all remain here for tomorrow's funeral - as Aaron's "advisers" it would look bad if we didn't. Then one flying carpet - piloted by Synizn - will take some of us to Erica, the party to include Illura, who hopefully can go some way towards convincing Erica of our good intentions. If need be, our second carpet - piloted by Jarlath - will take the rest of us, including Aaron, in a week's time.
