Sonea nodded. “What kind of alliance are we discussing? Are the Traitors seeking to join the Allied Lands? That requires compliance with an agreed core of rules that apply to all and with a few specific to each land.”

“What are these core rules?” Savara asked.

“Non-aggression toward other lands in the alliance. Adherence to a set of laws regarding trade, crime and magic. Military support in defence of the Allied Lands. Outlawing slavery.”

“The first and last we agree with wholeheartedly.” Savara’s lips thinned. “What are the laws you speak of?”

Sonea listed them, with Osen’s assistance. Savara listened, nodding from time to time. When Sonea finished, the queen laced her fingers together.

“Some of these laws are similar to our own, some are not. It is your control of magicians my people may object to. Especially your restrictions on the knowledge and use of higher magic.”

“You have restrictions that we would not agree with as well. I believe magic is only taught to women Traitors, unless the man is a natural.”

“Yes, but restrictions based on gender are already catered for in the alliance. The Lonmar people only teach magic to men. If the alliance can accommodate their traditions, could it not accommodate ours?”

“It is likely it could. Black magic, on the other hand, is a more difficult issue.”

Savara smiled and gestured toward Sonea. “Yet the Guild has black magicians.”

“Only as many as we feel are necessary for our defence.”

The queen’s expression became serious. “Do you really think three is enough?”
