Paeth	Normal days. That was what Paeth used to look like; you would enter into this secure room and find the real treasure suspended in the air, a thousand rooms and puzzles contained in a strange cube. But today?
Ilekrome	The Last Box is gone. It has vanished, leaving behind only an empty room. The charge of Fraerlings is over, and with it, some of the knowledge of the world. More than one of the Architects, like Enchanter Ilekrome, have moments of quiet despair over that fact. Then he wonders, should it be a celebration?
Paeth	Paeth was saved by the actions of the last Gnome, Zineryr; he teleported the entire Fraerling city into the heart of Talenqual, and the only cost was the ghost of a long-dead species and the box itself. Where it went and what it now contains—not even the Fraerlings could say.
Talenqual	Paeth was saved by the actions of the last Gnome, Zineryr; he teleported the entire Fraerling city into the heart of Talenqual, and the only cost was the ghost of a long-dead species and the box itself. Where it went and what it now contains—not even the Fraerlings could say.
[Mercenary]	But easy if you compare it with being the first Fraerling city in contact with the Tallfolk’s world. Easy compared to having to defend your city from [Mercenaries] trying to tear it down. A thirteen-hour public forum would be easier than deciding whether to let any Tallfolk who want to visit into Talenqual—or informing Sentry Commander Ekrn he has a killzone of eight hundred feet. As in, anything unauthorized that comes eight hundred feet within Paeth’s radius dies.

Ekrn	That was not something Farspeaker Humalepre, an expert in communications spells and negotiation with other Fraerling cities, had ever had to grapple with. Obviously, he asked when Ekrn demanded an actual range on his killzone, ‘what about children or people who enter by mistake?’
Paeth	That required Tallfolk help given how huge the radius would be: eight hundred feet around the giant redwood tree that was Paeth. It was in progress, and Humalepre would rest easier when it was done.
Paeth	Then, they could have Fraerlings roaming around a ‘safe zone’ around Paeth. Right now, it was mostly rubble; they had appeared in the center of Talenqual and laid waste to everything in sight. It had been a war, but still—the churned ground and cracked and blackened remains of buildings was no pleasant vista for Paeth’s inhabitants. Not that Fraerlings had often looked outside; they’d been happy with their cities, and outside was often dangerous to city-Fraerlings.

Ekrn	Eight hundred feet. Farspeaker Humalepre asked Ekrn point-blank what he would do if a child somehow passed the barrier spells. To which Ekrn responded—

Ekrn	To which Sentry Commander Ekrn had stood there before the city-Fraerlings.
Ekrn	The killzone, incidentally, had been activated three times already. Most Tallfolk took the warnings; some did not. But Ekrn, in the interest of saving lives, had told the United Nations company, who were guarding the radius, it would be kinder to shoot someone with a crossbow bolt in the legs than let them breach the killzone. The one time an idiot had ignored the warnings and run at Paeth, Ekrn had them taken out at 50 feet from the killzone limits with [Homing Fireballs].
