To: General Skareth, Thal’Zaroth Fleet
From: Grand Admiral Azkariel, Hall of Black Floods

You have been granted a singular honor and a singular task. Emperor Zarakhul will see to it personally that you and your household rise from the void. Land, coin, and first claim on any humanoid slaves gathered in the field will be yours. Bring The Emperor the oculus intact, and you shall be elevated; fail, and the Emperor’s patience will be spent on others more useful. Know also your line is not forgotten, the Emperor will pardon your daughter for her little slave revolt only if you succeed.

Take with you a vanguard of demon shock units and the Sahuagin Host and a contingent of sirens. Your charge is threefold: seize any mortal stronghold shielding the relic, secure the artifact, and return it to Thal’Zaroth. Capture living humanoids where possible; the Emperor prefers choices. If opportunity allows, harvest a small retinue of slaves for your claim and the Fleet’s coffers, but do not tarry over indulgence. Speed and the oculus are paramount.

Carry this out without hesitation. There should be no debate of method, only of efficiency. You know what the Emperor prizes and what he discards. Bring proof, bring the oculus, bring no excuses. The Hall expects results on the next tide, prove your name is worthy of the praise promised, or ensure you have reasons to hope mercy will find your heirs.
