For Aneuhl J'harna:
Aneuhl could see two of the Council members making notes on parchments. Having such important people scribing down a simple interview revealed as much about the importance of the mission the Council had than its leader's so direct involvment.
The same man, his long white hair, slightly moving as he spoke replied to Aneuhl's questions.
"You perceive much, that is supposed to be hidden from the naked eye. Indeed there is a strange metal inside that door. One, which can not be naturally found on Paradisia. Unfortunately I can't tell you any more about that metal, as there are things, about which even here I dare not speak. You were right to guess the presence of an enchantment, but this is one, which keeps eavesdroppers, both magical and natural from listening in on anything happening in this room."
He brushed a thread of his hair out of his face, and only then did Aneuhl notice a hexagon shaped tatoo on the man's forehead. He had never seen it before, and somehow felt that it would be inappropriate asking about it.
"Eventually you might learn more about this metal than I, or even anyone else does, if you let your curiosity guide you, but some things are up to the fates to decide."
The old man turned to Pieter Horsfeld and nodded, almost imperceptably. The leader of the Town Council spoke next.
"You came here, because among other reasons you are willing to risk your life on an unknown mission. Why do you play with your own existence so recklessly?"
