In the Dalefaer Embassy, 

A few days after retaking Dalefaer, Sir Fallin is issuing orders to his knights from the lobby of the embassy in Foresetidale. Ordering them to areas of the city that may still be hiding potential enemies. Sir Fallin has a map spread out in front of him and he points to each location on the map then gives the order to explore and exterminate. 

A series of gasps and the flood of whispers reach Fallin’s ears and he turns around. His eyes widen.Baroness Charlotte stands just in the threshold of the embassy. Pulling the tattered and bloodied hood from her face, which is also dirty and speckled with blood. She wears a dirty and ruined deep blue cloak, which she quickly sheds. Beneath the cloak are just as bloodied and dirtied clothes.Her eyes land on Fallin and he looks back into her eyes.Without a word, Sir Fallin marches across the lobby and takes a knee in front of Charlotte.“The city is ours again, Baroness.” He says simply.Charlotte smiles and nods. “Thank you, Sir Fallin.”“Ahem.” Someone loudly clears their throat behind them.Baroness Charlotte looks over Sir Fallin to see her Warlord, Sir Shi’Kari. The High Elf is standing with her arms folded across her chest, her feet firmly poised.“Sir Shi’Kari. Greetings.” Charlotte says, adjusting the cloak over her arm.Sir Fallin stands and turns around, then dips his head to his fellow knight.“Where have you been?” Sir Shi’Kari asks, the murmurs begin once more.

“Hiding.” Charlotte says simply. “After Sir Fallin fell in battle, I was outnumbered so I ran. I managed to make it just outside the city when the barrier went up. I fought my way until I found somewhere to hide out. I won’t say where. Just know it was safe enough that I was able to send word to Sir Fallin that I was alive and his orders were to retake the city by whatever means necessary.”

Shi’Kari scoffs. “Whatever means necessary? You realize he took that to the extreme.”

Sir Fallin flinches and Charlotte looks at him. “What is she talking about?”

Sir Fallin meets her gaze. “I worked with Knightmaster Edgar and his death knights to retake the city.”

Charlotte’s eyes widen. “You what?”

 Sir Fallin nods. “I ordered my fellow knights to work with the undead to retake the city.”

Charlotte turns to fully face Fallin. “Sir Fallin… What?”

Shi’Kari smirks. “Yes. He ordered us to work with Undead and now the Knight’s Council has ordered him to stand trial for his treasonous actions.”

Sir Fallin remains standing with his head held high. “I had my orders. I retook the city through whatever means necessary. It worked and many lives were saved by the undead that helped us.”

Murmurs and whispers continue around them. Charlotte looks baffled. “Sir Fallin… I… I thank you for taking back our city.”

Shi’Kari’s jaw drops. “Are you kidding, Baroness? He ordered his fellow knights to work with Undead in order to do it. You understand what that means right?”

Charlotte turns her gaze to Shi’Kari. “I understand that Sir Fallin saw past his own reservations about Undeath in order to save this city and it’s people. I understand he has risked his standing with the knights to save us. I understand that-“

Shi’Kari scowls. “He will stand trial for his betrayal. And he may be labeled an ‘Oathbreaker’ for this, Baroness. And there will be nothing you can do to stop it.”

“Let us speak more in private, Sir Shi’Kari.” Baroness Charlotte says and begins walking across the lobby towards the hall that would lead to her office.

Sir Fallin follows close on her heels and Sir Shi’Kari also turns to follow after the Baroness. The whispers and chatter continue as they walk passed.
