The Everqueen orders her guards to leave the room

We meet in dark times. Ulthuan's enemies are mighty and our allies few. We have suffered defeat after defeat.

We face a foe who delights in displaying their cruelty and pow, but we Asur have not admitted defeat even in the face of overwhelming odds.

You claim to be able to save us, to give us aid as our people once aided others in times long forgotten by most of your kind.

Speak now, but know that I can discern any attempts at deception.
