If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.
            --Prof. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche

            Choosing his time carefully, Nathan slips into the throne room during a minor distraction and integrates himself into a group of minor officials to await Oberon's pleasure. Nathan stands 5'11", with blond hair worn long and pulled back into a twisted braid falling down his back. His eyes are ice blue. Lightly built, his noble blood shows in the features of his face. He is clean shaven and dressed in black leggings, off white tunic, and a braided purple leather belt.

            Oberon regards Nathan curiously,"What have you been doing with the Duchy of Sigismund?"

            "My liege", Nathan replies, "I have been spending my time in an attempt to get to know the people you have placed in my care."

            "And how is that doing?" Nathan is asked by Oberon,"I hope Sigismund is growing and prosperous with your nurturing. Perhaps others may want to trade with you."

            "The ground there is furtile, and the people accustomed to much hard labor. I'm still trying to decide which is the more intellegent form of life there, the people or the pigs. Still, they won't want for food. There does appear to be a severe shortage of soap there however." Nathan replies

            "Well go and buy some from Alexis." Oberon says,"She has lots."

            "Are you ready to take on more responsibility for Arden?" the Amber king says,"I need you to assume some more work with the realm."

            "I stand ready to do your bidding always, your majesty. Command it, and it will be done." Nathan says.

            "Excellent," Oberon tells him,"I think you should take on the Master of the Rolls. Administrative and looking after details in Amber Castle here. It helps with development and organization."

            Oberon looks at him,"Will you accept that post?"

            "As you command my liege, I obey." Nathan answers with a nod of his head that turns into a short bow.

            "Excellent," Oberon says clapping his hands once. The seal of office is presented to him which is handed to Nathan.

            "Also I want you to meet some people."

            Oberon says,"take Nathan around as he has been out of touch."

            Ferris comes forward and takes him around.
