As I lay dreaming, the thoughts of when I first met Catris played again and
again through my mind.  I can still see her running out of the house in that
dark subterranean city, bowling me over as she ran headlong into me.  I
remember entering the house and killing her father in a duel.  Then it
dawned on me.  There was a need for compassion.  If I had taken my current
attitude, I would have just pushed Catris back into the house to meet
whatever fate her father had in store for her.  Realizing this, I woke up
with a start and pulled out a map.  I looked over the area around Iliac bay
and noticed a large area of open sea in the bay, west of Wayrest.  I
dismissed my generals, save Morgiah, and teleported myself after using a
water-walking spell on myself.  Forming a bubble of air around myself, I
sank beneath the surface till I found what I needed.  I raised one of the
smaller techtonic plates from the floor of the bay with a spell similiar to
the one I used to raise Kalisis.  It formed a large island.  Using Kali's
power, I cleared the new island, and rebuilt it with lush grasslands and a
large castle.  I dismissed my troops and called off the invasion.  Feeling
the spectral presence of eyes looking balefully down on me, I penned a note
to the occupants of the Angry Porcupine.

"Dear Friends,

I know that you may not accept me, but I have seen the error in my ways.  I
have returned the undead in my army to the peace of their graves.  I have
dismissed two of my generals.  My armies are now reduced to five thousand
dragons of various races and a few thousand humanoid troops.  It is only a
matter of time before my spell on this island will fail.  I am sending back
the troops as I write this note.  I regret to inform you that Morgiah, being
the spiteful woman she is, has learned of and used the Sidhe technique of
destroying a Sidhe child whilst it is still in her womb.  My child is dead,
my plans for conquering Tamriel have faded away.  I am alone now, for most
of my troops avoid me and Morgiah has left.  If you still see the need to
put an end to my misery on your beautiful world, my castle gates stand
open.  I will be on the field before the castle waiting to die.  The pain is
so that my heart  will not allow my mind any more words, so with that I
close.

Lord Jemalas Tamislane, ruler of Kalisis, Master Dweomerkeeper, High Lord of
Thornwood, undeserving of love or compassion, hateful little Sidhe, ready to
die for lack of Lady Catris."

I went out into the field, knowing that the scroll would teleport anyone who
opposed me to my location as soon as it was read.  As I was walking, the
gods themselves pleaded with me.  I casted a spell to summon an aerial
servant again to deliver my letter.  As it whisked off, I laid down in the
rich earth of my temporary island, and waited for death to come.


~Lord Jemalas Tamislane, Master Dweomerkeeper, Ruler of Kalisis, High Lord
of Thornwood, soon to die it seems
