 The Archlord’s chambers are located near the top of the Sorrowful Spire and have an extremely good view of the Steelscape from the numerous balconies that extend out from the main towers structure. Featuring more rooms than anyone could need, the Chambers are a testament to the wealth of Equinox Industries. Bedrooms, baths, a private kitchen staffed at all hours, private portals leading to specific parts of the city, a library, and countless other rooms can be found the Archlord’s Chambers, all decorated in the most opulent manner. The Archlord’s Chambers are also heavily guarded, all entrances constantly under watch from the central scrying tower. Plenty of other security measures are also in place, making it an incredibly safe place to stay. Do to this fact, it is quite common for visitors of importance to be invited to stay in the Chambers as many might be fearful of assassination attempts in other parts of the Steelscape. |

A woman would walk through the chamber doors, dismissing the minotaur and motioning for Asthor and his guards to follow her.
“This way, the Archlord will see you shortly.”
Leading the small group inside the chambers, they would find themselves in a luxurious sitting room. Pointing to a red colored sofa, the woman would motion for them to make themselves comfortable. Besides four guards who were watching the entrances of the room, it was empty save for themselves.
Although it would take some time for Astaroth to arrive, food would be brought to the party in the meantime. A platter with various meats, cheeses, and breads. In addition to the food, a rather alarming selection of drinks was brought in, the majority of them unrecognizable by those who didn’t live in The Steelscape.
Finally, after about forty-five minutes of waiting, the Archlord would appear. His fine clothes and cane were in sharp contrast to his monstrous face and beast like fingernails. He would address Asthor in a silky smooth voice one would expect from a member of the nobility.
“A pleasure to meet you, I have been informed that you are a delegation from Aozora that wishes to have talks with The Steelscape. I am Archlord Astaroth, what name do you go by, representative?”

Asthor stands up off of the red couch and starts to introduce himself."I am the diplomat from Aozora, as you have said. Of course I come to seek trade with you and your fine city. Now pleases understand my name is inherited from my family. It is Asthor "Sneak", now shall we begin talks upon trade. Also me and my two other men would like some clothes to change into because as you can see our wearings are ripped and torn. That is if you have any to spare."

The Astaroth would nod at the request, telling the guard to bring some changes of clothes.
“You can change in the room over to the left.”
Astaroth would point towards a set of double doors that led deeper into his chambers.
“There’s also a bath in there that can be prepared if you and your men wish to take a bath before we speak. It seems you have had a difficult journey here.”
If Asthor wished to bath, servants would heat up the bath, a rather sizable bath at that. The Archlord would wait in the room they were currently in until Asthor and his companions had finished changing/bathing.

Asthor stood up and headed over into the room the archlord had pointed to him and his group. Once he opened the door he was stunned by the luxurious bathroom for he had grown up in a shack in the middle of a forest. Asthor proceeded to change his clothes into the cloths gave to him whilst still marveling at the luxury. He had told his men not to take baths and he wouldn't either due to 2 factors. 1 being they had just swam before coming into the valley and 2 he didn't want to hold up the archlord.

Once Asthor and his men were finished changing into the new clothes and were back in the room with the Archlord, he would begin the talks once more.
“So, you are here for trade you say? The Steelscape is always looking for more trading partners and welcomes the opportunity to gain more, especially from a nation we don’t have contacts in.”
Leaning back in the chair he sits in, Astaroth spreads his unnaturally long fingers apart, glancing down at them for a moment before continuing.
“What are the primary commodities of the nation of Aozora? The Steelscapes primary export is metal, which we have in large quantities and in a wide variety.”

Asthor sat down in a chair and thought about the Aozora resources. He then decided to respond to the man who was questioning him about the commodities." Mr. Astaroth My nation has several resources, it just depends on what you're looking for. For instance we would happen to have huge amounts of lumber. Now we have found several mines that we are currently, if not already, working to get open."
Asthor stopped talking and then out of nowhere a thought hit him like a horse. Motioning for his two guards to get the plant out and come forward he started on again.
"We also have vegetation known to no other part of the land in our nation and here is an example of these so-called plant. We would like to offer this plant to you and your nation."

Astaroth nodded as Asthor mentioned the various commodities Azora possessed. Lumber was valuable to The Steelscape as there weren’t any sources of wood down here. At least, not any natural sources of it.
“I am quite interested in lumber, as The Steelscape is underground, we have no way of easily procuring lumber and are forced to collect it off land not owned by anyone, which can be rather slow and tiresome. How would Aozora feel about exchanging lumber for metal? We could even send some of our miners over to assist you in setting up your mines to run as efficiently as possibly.”
When Asthor offered him the plant, the Archlord would look at it with curiosity. He would sniff at it a bit, attempting to discern any notable qualities about it.
“I thank you for this gift, but I must ask, are there any known uses for this plant? The mention of possessing vegetation known solely to Aozora does intrigue me, though. We produce a great many drinks and potions. As you might expect, we use all kinds of plants to fuel this industry. If we could trade for new plants to fuel our brewery industry, that would be ideal. Perhaps we could offer some of the finished product in return for the ingredients.”

Asthor would sit for a minute and think about what the Archlord had said to him about trading lumber for metal, having miners sent to help his nation, and about what qualities of the plants stood out. Quickly he called over the guards of his and asked him about any qualities of the plant.
After the short talk with his group Asthor then made a proposal about the trade to the Archlord." The warlord had made it clear to me that he does not know any true qualities of this here plant although we have made some observations of it. This plant has no names, but it does seemingly posses a power go heal ones abdominal and chest region before much damage can be attained." Asthor had to stop and take a breath before continuing on.
"We would also find it a plsasure to send lumber over here in exchange for metal. If you give me the miners that you were just discussing we would, of course , be pleased to help you out with the lumber. Also I request that you give me and my people a place to stay tonight and we shall be out of here before dawn," pausing for a second he thought of he final thing he needed to say." I have also aqquired this map which shows a secured trade route for you."

Astaroth would nod in agreement, the deal seemed fair to him.
“Very well, I shall have the miners sent over shortly. Along with them, I will send several offers for the exact specification of the metal for lumber trade. It will take me some time to write those offers up, but we have agreed to the base outline of the deal which is good enough for now. I will send the miners on this trade route you have shown me.”
Motioning for a servant to be called, the Archlord would speak into the servant's ear quietly for a second before dismissing him.
“Rooms have been prepared that are in my chambers, if you need anything, just ask one of the servants. For now, I bid you farewell, I thank you for the productive meeting and wish best of luck to Aozora.”
Unless Asthor had any more questions, the Archlord would rise smoothly, offering him a nod of farewell before moving deeper into the chambers. A servant would then lead Asthor and the men with him to the guest rooms, well furnished with anything they would need.

Upon Nash’s arrival, an attendant would walk over and motion for him to follow them. They would lead him deeper into the chamber until they finally arrived at Astaroth’s primary sitting room. The room had a number of bookshelves lining the walls and several comfortable chairs to sit in that faced each other, the Archlord already seated.
Offering him a wide smile, Astaroth would speak once Nash was seated and comfortable. When he spoke, it would be in a very smooth voice, almost unnatural sounding.
“Lord Nash I presume? I believe you are here for the… Ah yes, to become the Security Director. It’s a pleasure to meet you, I am Archlord Astaroth.”

"I am he, Archlord." Nash removes his helmet and places it on the table before taking a seat, his appearance as an undead being now easily seen. The Lich begins to speak. "I've come here to seek this Security Director position as I can raise an undying security force. I was once a scourge of the Black Vale and now I wish to put my powers into the use of your city."

Astaroth nods while flexing his long fingers. He had read the report on Nash, after all, he hadn’t gotten this far on the interview process without being looked into. The Lich was most likely a lock in for the job, but as usual, he wished to meet him in person first.
“From what I’ve heard about you, you would fill the position well. As you know, we don’t have any restrictions on necromancy here and would be able to make full use of your undead. Tell me, how many undead are you capable of maintaining at once? Of course, we wouldn’t want a full force of undead, but having them make up a great deal of the force could be useful.”

"Depending on the complexity, I can maintain control certain undead indefinately. My method of Necromancy, I tend to give my deathknights their own will, while still obedient to my own. These Death Knights I don't need to put any effort in keeping them alive. If I were to raise an army in a pinch, I could maybe keep constant control of 200 zombies and skeletons as long as I concentrate, such constructions though will return to death afterward. Such a thing would be for temporary front line units to wither down enemies."

“That sounds satisfactory then. You can use these death knights as one of the main security forces, I will have a list of our own forces sent to you as well… The two should be able to get along well enough I think.”
Motioning for a servant to bring over a document, the Archlord looks over it, adding a few things to it personally before handing it and a pen over to Lord Nash.
“Please sign this, it is the contract that will serve as proof of your position here. I am currently going through and hiring new directors, so you may have to wait a bit before seeing the other directors you work with. The scrying center is still operational however and I think you’ll find it very useful for ensuring everything stays as it should be in The Steelscape.”

Astaroth reaches out with one of his arms, elongated fingers picking up the paper Nash just signed. Glancing over it, he nods in satisfaction.
“Everything seems to be in order here… I will be speaking to you again soon, but for now, I leave how you arrange the security of The Steelscape to your discretion.”
Offering a nod of farewell, Astaroth would rise and leave the rooms as well, he had other business to attend to now.
