The Imperatori presented gifts to Their Excellencies, then granted them leave to conduct their final business.
Their Excellencies presented themselves to the Imperatori, for Her Excellency had been having many bad dreams, and they wished to consult the Oracle of Delftwood for guidance. The Oracle was summoned, and interpreted Her Excellency’s dreams, informing them that His Excellency was required to quest far from home to slay a great beast. Her Excellency stated that she would stay by his side through his quest, but both Their Excellencies were concerned what would become of their dear Delftwood without its Baron and Baroness. They petitioned the Imperatori to appoint such good people in their stead that would guide the Barony after Their Excellencies had left. The Imperatori granted this request and divested the Baron and Baroness of their coronets.
