The mans face did not change at her remark, instead his smile just broadened. He returned; "I tell the truth and only the truth."

"I simply came here to buy some goods. This kingdom is fairly close to mine. Maybe we can even start a trade route. But it seems that can't happen if this kingdom is destroyed." He pauses to listen for something. He makes a sound, to high pitched for the guards to hear. A command to the rat that left.
"What's this war about anyways?"

Einhvar was fed up with the actions of these desert dwellers, whose audacity seemed to know no bounds. First they attack the representative of Ískaldur with no provocation, and now weave web of confusing lies with the intention to mislead her, who had come bearing the ever glowing White Flag. To think that such a shameful and honorless people existed on a planet stirred the fire of rage within her metaphorical heart.
”One who has declared the arrival of your ‘Sheikh’, clearly indictate his person to me. Same with the rest of you. If you do not want to begin negotiations, then continue acting as you have and I will take my leave without hesistation. But be warned, Ískaldur does not take kindly to such insults. If you foolishly continue on this path you pave yourself, I doubt there’s much you can do to save yourself from utter annihilation.”

The same man responded to her, "Why he has been standing right in front of you for the past few minutes." Then he turns to the other desert dwellers; "You are dismissed. Thank You for leading her saftly through the desert." He finishes with a bow.

The valkyrie looked at the man once again, a mixture of bafflement and disgust filling her. It seemed strange that such a weakling could be the leader of anything. Or perhaps this was just a sea of weaklings, and this one happened to stand out slight more than the others. It amazed her, but not in a good way. Far from it.
”Are you the leader of these people?” She asks the man, approaching him.

Einhvar did not share the Sheikh’s amusement, approaching and stopping a meter away. She raised the White Flag, before slamming the pole into the ground where it pierced and stood upright, continuing to give off a peaceful golden aura of magic. She turned her head to then face the Sheikh.
”I will now formally introduce myself. I am Einhvar Annar, valkyrie of Ískaldur, overseer of the grand town of Eldavél, forger of weapons, and currently the negotiator of the Ískaldur.” She declares forcefully and confidentially, loud enough for any nearby to hear it. “I was tasked by the great King Chief of Ískaldur, Thrand Rangvaldrson, to deliver to you a choice. You have two paths to take. One will lead you down a brutal and bloody war for your people, with the eventual success of Ískaldur and the possible annihilation of your city. The other path you are permitted to take is to surrender at once, welcoming the army of Ískaldur as they approach. If that is to be the case only a few would need die, those who participated in the initial attack against on our emissary Zhiode. Afterwards you can continue living as you have, under the grand rule of Ískaldur and the might Chief of All.”
She paused to let this sink in. “I am not so cruel as to make you decide immediately, and will give you a hour’s time to meet with your advisors and think your answer over.” She holds out her hand to give the Sheikh an item, a small hourglass within a spherical ball of transparent crystal appearing. “Once this runs out I must have an answer to take back to my people. If you can not provide an answer, we will march for war.”

(I'm assuming the war meeting and the talk with Einhver are on separate timelines.)
"Does being able to talk to animals count?" The young human Huata asked the dwarves. Holding up his falcon proudly, he continued, "If Aridia makes use of any other creatures, us druids could use them to map out this territory and detect oncoming forces, and stuff." He grinned proudly.
"Or do you mean scry as in talk to someone far away" The elf added. "It'll be tricky, but we may be able to combine our magicks to establish a link with the Black Tower in the Expanse, and then use them to establish a link to whoever it is you want to speak to, if they are an ally of Isra."
One of the guards turned to the sheik when he asked what else they could bring to the table. "Mmm, didn't come here with the intention of participating in a war. The forces we are able to recruit may be somewhat limited. But with the help of our druids, we can attempt to summon some allies from our homeland, with your permission of course. I know of at least one Elder on our council who hates bullies more than anyone."

The Sheikh looked around the room, for a bit, until he heard Huata's question. He answered; "of course you have permission, we need all the help you can muster."

Throughout her lengthily speech he just stared at her, his expression betraying nothing. Finally he answered calmly; "And I am not as cruel, to make you wait for am hour, for I have my response. We will fight beside the desert as we always have."

Kiera followed along silently as she was led down beneath the sands in a building within this city, and soon emerged in a round room that was already well occupied - by more than just these garbed desert folk. She began to feel a little pensive, but let her hold on the crossbow strap be a comfort as she remained standing by the door to watch and listen for the time being.

Einhvar gives a single cold metallic laugh, mocking and scornful. She withdraws the hand that's holding the hourglass, but doesn't stow it away quite yet. "I suggest you do not be hasty in your decision. Take the hour and discuss with your people, I have nothing to do that can't wait an hour." She internally scolded herself then, realizing that she probably should have taken the opportunity to return home. However she can't withdraw her offer, and so continues. "Surely you would find surrender to be in your best interests? You can avoid the costs of a war you can not win."
"However if the fool in you prevails and continues to deny your people the gift of life under the rule of glorious Ískaldur, then I will take my leave at once, and the armies of Ískaldur shall arrive in no more than a week's time. But should in that week you decide that surrender is your best option, and you wish to discuss the terms of said surrender, carry the White Flag with you as you approach the army of Ískaldur." she gestures towards the pole stuck into the ground with the white flag at its top, a golden aura of magical energy still surrounding it. "No being will be allowed to harm you and you can discuss terms of surrender as you wish. However by doing that you shall incur much greater penalties than you would by surrendering now, although they would hardly be comparable to the casualties a war would cause."

The Sheikh paused before answering; "That is a risk that we are willing to take. We have held this desert peacefully, until your so called "ambassador", arrived and called us vermin, dirt, and the scorn of humanity. Please leave and inform your chief that we will be waiting..." He counters.

In the distance towards the town, a column of riders would approach with the majority of them being knight and the right some sort of Holy-men. As they got closer, they waited to be greeted.

Lorrie walks over to and sniffs the newcomer, keira. Jack follows behind and offers a hand to shake. "Hello. Im jack. I suppose you dont know whats going on either, right?" He says in a friendly tone.
Lorrie follows suit and offers her par, her beady eyes still searching the room.

Einhver shakes her head. "Perhaps upon seeing the might of Ískaldur you shall change your mind. If that is the case you know what to do." She tosses the hourglass into the air, where it faded away, the soft glow of magic apparent for just a second. "The white flag will stand there until you decide you have need of it." She glances at it, her inner heart rejoicing at the idea of ridding herself of such an useless item, one that serves no purpose in Ískaldur. She silently applauded her cleverness, killing two birds with a single stone by ridding herself of the magic item of peace and securing a way for the desert dwellers to surrender if they decided to. However she wondered what would happen should they decide to surrender. Oh well, best not to dwell on the future right now.
She turns around and walks back out towards the desert, passing through the busted city gates. Her two pair of wings unfolded from her back, opening in a single graceful and fluid motion, before lifting herself off of the ground with a single mighty flap. Within seconds she would be a distant speck on the horizon, taking with her almost all evidence of the approaching war. However a single item of proof still stood just beyond the town's entrance. A single golden pole, ornately crafted with fine detail, was impaled into the ground, and at the top flew the pure white flag, surrounded by a magical aura of golden light. Despite the blank flag it flew representing ceasefires and times of peace, it now stood as a grave reminder that their foe, and the inevitability of war, was fast approaching.

Over the next golden dune, stood a man clad in desert garb, he greeted the holy men with a sort of bow before, asking; "Are you here for our plight against Iskaldur, outlanders?" he asked in a neutral voice.
