In the vacant halls of Velthomer Castle, Arvis is engrossed in his studies, contemplating another intricate scheme to incorporate into his grand tapestry. The other nobles are unaware pawns, oblivious to the greater destiny that Jugdral would experience under his leadership. He sits comfortably in a high-backed chair, dipping his quill into ink, a sly smile on his face. Without the nobles' knowledge, they are unwittingly dancing to the tune of a piper who is prepared to collect what is owed to him.
