Personally, however, she seeks an audience with the King. She is granted an audience. "It seems I have found some of the lost weapons, and gained much intel. I cannot be sure of this, not least because anyone I had placed in Dol Amroth has fallen silent or been thrown out, but it seems that Imrahil has been stealing them. I am afraid that not much more could be known." "Hmm. I need those informants in Dol Amroth, I'd like a network established there as soon as possible. And, where did you ever find the lost weapons?" "I don't think you quite understand, Your Grace. My informants have been expelled, or presumably worse to the others. I cannot do anything without this being prevented - something I can't do.

"On the other hand, one of the mercenaries picked up a trail, mainly from just fighting random brigands, that led to the man paying them for the goods. They, of course, didn't know what the goods were thankfully, but as it turns out the man was of Dol Amroth origin, and although I cannot get anything beyond that, the amount he was being paid was clearly immense - the sort of money you'd pay to get the weapons, indeed, but an amount no normal man could afford. The only logical conclusion was the rich of Dol Amroth. One way or another, it all leads back to Herendil." "That traitorous scum." He say vehmently. "This insult to the crown cannot stand. I thank you for this information, Ioreth. And the weapons? Where are they?" "What little I managed to get are being transferred to Minas Tirith, accompanied by a legion of bowmen, and two of spearmen, alongside the two mercenary companies still under our pay.

"There is another matter, Your Excellence, that is much more pressing. I understand it to be much more... uncomfortable, for all of us. I have a son, but you do not. In fact, you are heirless. Surely, it is necessary by now for you to nominate someone?" "Good. They shall be put to use, I assure you."

He sighs. "I see no one suitable. The Steward is an ambitious man, and that suits me well, but he is no King. Pane is a general, not a ruler." "We do have much use of them.

"Is there no one at all? I must agree with your sentiment about the Steward, I am afraid. His ambition... does not become him."
