[CONFLICT] The Old Nord Way... CONFLICT

Zizi arrives in Ivarstead, just days after her diplomat was murdered. She calls from atop a hill, "Torygg! Come face me! You shall duel me in the way of your people. No weapons, no magic, no Thu'um. This is to be a fair fight. If you win, my soldiers will leave the Rift. If I win, the Rift shall become a legal part of the Republic."

As she finishes speaking, her guards back away, and she waits patiently for Torygg to come face here.

Torygg stands to his full stature. "I would have maintained the stance I have taken since this began. They invaded, and unless they remove their troops, there will be war. Such is the nature of an invasion, and to expect anything less is folly on the part of an inexperienced ruler."

"Yes, I understand, but I mean if she had come to you, rather than invading in the first place."

"I was very ill when this invasion was launched. I likely would have heard what she had to say, and made changes in the governance of the Rift. But for her to think she has any right to judge my rule…" Torygg grew angry, and took deep breaths to calm himself, "…is highly presumptuous of her. She has proven to be an arbitrary and mad ruler, not fit to lead a nation."

Lysayna nodded. "You are exactly right," she said.,
