He is tired of discussions after the sour endings in both Loess and Ischia but he feels it’s time to seek out the people of Tephra. Things have changed since their last meeting so long ago and they had the right to know it. Vulgaris sent his younger children to play in the jungle and chase their beloved rabbit while Sabbath remains at his side. It pains him that so many of his children have all come home to roost just as things are turning grim once more. But he finds himself at the base of the volcano, his serpent-child before him as she waits patiently for him to give the call.
“Tephrans, we have much to discuss,” he says, chin tilted up as he projects his voice loud enough for them to hear his summons. Maleficar rises from the shadows, looming off to the side as he usually prefers to do. Vulgaris swallows nervously and prays Leliana is one of the first to arrive so that her presence might strengthen his courage. He waits until they arrive, in pairs or all alone, before he begins their meeting.
“Loess has rejected my offer of armistice in exchange for their pursuit of the northern crown. However, Wolfbane has asked that we leave Taiga to him. I believe he fights for Loess and Loess alone – not for Castile, not for Lepis, and not for me – and that the north is safe,” he says, but he can only hope. The future is too uncertain for them and that is precisely why he has gathered them here. “But I will make no decision without you all. We have suffered together and so we will continue to thrive together.”
He pauses, allowing them to consider his words before he divulges the rest of the information he has gathered.
“Before we consider marching on the south or allowing fate to run its course, we must also address the changes in the east. Litotes has abdicated his throne and Dawn has been usurped by a new queen. I do not know what she intends to do with Pangea, but I think it is important we send two of our own to meet with them and gauge their intent.”
And then he waits, observing them quietly after catching them up to speed with all he has learned.

In this shook-up, twisted world, I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
Don’t look for me; don't look at me
Don’t look for me; don't look at me
