[CONFLICT] The Old Nord Way...

[u/cthulhuh00p]

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.

"Nibenese troops will remain in the hold until the Rift is guaranteed independence."

She gestures to her guards, and turns to leave.

Mita puts her helmet back on and returns to Endrys' side, "Well, at least I get to live a little longer as a free woman, Superintendent." She confidently affirms, a certain swagger to her walk, a cockiness that comes from thinking she knows more than she should, and rooted in childishness nonetheless.

"That is, if you still think an alliance with these people is a good idea," she poses, her heart racing with hope and self preservation. She praises the Three and curses the same Three for the stubborn, yet wholesomeness, of the cat, truly like Titus in that regard.

Endrys stiffens his neck and draws a long breath of the crisp northern air before sighing.

"Mita," he begins, "every alliance is wrapped in turmoil. But burning Riften, as strategic to your cause as it was, took the lives of people under a Dunmer flag, jeopardizing Morrowind's future. I will conviene with Zizi as to the proper punishments, but for now, let us leave this place. There is so much to be done back home." he finishes with a certain smirk, as if to acknowledge Mita's earlier statements of uncertainty, and yet in a refusal to comment.

[out of character: I do already have a plan for the dismemberment of the Assembly, and I'm very close to being able to do it. Thulhu, if you would please stave off from destroying it just yet.]

The color drains from her face, "I'm going home," she snaps at her mage and gives a frazzled look to Endrys.

Her mage hesitates and guards tense, "No." Her teeth come together. She readies her spear but it is taken from her by a sad looking Vendarys, who had just arrived after Angoril had sent a message via Dreamsleeve from The Turtledove, en route to Balfiera with his son, detailing what Mita was about to do. "Give it back." she demands.

"No." she says again, a quiver to her voice. She never thought he'd actually do it. Above all, he sat there with his smug smirk...

Guards in bonemold advance and her eyes dart to her Second Councilor and her mage, her gaze wide and feral. "You won't do this to me. You can't, Mita continues, the shock getting to her.

"You'll pay for this." She vows with narrow eyes. As guards restrain her. She fights against them, thrashing. An elbow hits a man's face and breaks his nose. She is subdued by a sword to her throat, her hair disarrayed, her helm in the snow...

[perhaps a rep from skyrim]

Endrys casts a blue light from his hands; a conjuration circle crackling into the ground beneath Mita, her guards, and the surrounding advisers and friends of the royalties present.

"As Superintendent of the Intransigent Assembly, I, Endrys Venim Redoran do hereby swear to see justice done." he then looks to Zizi. "Go with grace your majesty, I'll piece House Hlaalu back together."

He then flicks his wrists, and the Dunmer entourage is consumed with a blue blaze. As the fire dies down, the conjuration circle has vanished, and all within it, to a prison cell beneath Redoran Manor in Blacklight.
