***HARAD/UMBAR/DALE***

King Elessar stood before them and looked down upon the kneeling men. He wore the Elendilmir upon his brows and was dressed in dark blue. A silver mantle covered his shoulders and was fastened at his throat with a silver brooch in the shape of an eagle in which a mighty green stone flashed with an inner fire.

"Arise, my guests," he said. When they stood, to their great surprise, Elessar bent his knee and bowed before them. "It is an honor to have you in my city. The people of Dale are always welcome here and have long been our friends. But too much time has passed since representatives of the lands to the South have come here in peace. Let us set aside our old disputes and speak frankly of our hopes for the future. For the days of the sword have gone by and it is now time for healing."

He rose to his feet and motioned Urken, Fuinir, Herumir, Al-Gareth, Girion and Jarl to sit at his table and be at ease. He poured goblets of wine for each of them and when all had drained their cups, he smiled. "Now, I am told that I am in the presence no less than three kings, a prince, a high priest and the finest trader in all the lands. We have much to discuss."

He turned to the Southern Kings and added, "I know that many disputes run in your lands and that to have peace each of you must take action to unite your peoples. You have much to do. So I ask you, how can the North Kingdoms help? What aid do you require..."
