Say, is @Ryonara around anywhere? I'm not really sure of what to have Ssarak do right now, but I figure we could collab a post.

I don't think Meesei would have had a chance to speak to Lunise about it. Had she remained captive for longer, perhaps, but Sabine freed herself too quickly.
Meesei allowed the silence to persist for a few moments to make sure there were no other comments before she began to stand. "I do not believe there is. I would say to go ahead and begin preparations for the feast. Feel free to tell the clan that there will be an announcement, and be sure to have the other clan leaders invited to attend. I will try to collect Lunise and Marod for a meeting as soon as I can."
With the meeting concluded Meesei intended to meet with Lunise as soon as she could; however, she first decided to check up on Sabine, following up on their conversation from before the meeting. She collected the Staff of Magnus to bring it to Darahil and Marcaille for study, and encouraged her once more to seek help for the issues that were plaguing her mind. She also wanted to talk to her about Sabine's decision in regards to Do'rhajul, and forming her own pack, but she had a feeling that would be a longer conversation than what they would have time for. As well, she supposed it would be best to allow her time to collect her thoughts before addressing it again.
Afterwards, Meesei had to wait just a few hours before Lunise was in a position to allow Meesei to teleport to her. She did not delay a moment before starting to make the portal. She and Sabine had only used the Staff for portals a few times, but Meesei found that she was already starting to miss the convenience of being able to open one immediately.
Meesei was smiling as she stepped through the portal, though there was one clue that might suggest to Lunise that she was not there strictly for pleasure. She was wearing a rather fine, full length dress; it was deep blue with white trimmings in an Imperial style. It was the kind of dress one might wear in the presence of nobility, and a farcry from the rough furs and leather she usually preferred.

I think that Meesei would like to speak to Lunise, then probably Marod. She would want to get them all together with the council before the feast. I can take us there if you like.
"Indeed. I shall need to be firm, but not too directly confrontational." Meesei replied. "Though first, it would perhaps be best to have the meeting here with Marod and Lunise. It is possible that they could have some insight in how to empower the staff more easily, or give an advantage in our negotiations with Molag Bal. At the very least, we will need to make sure we can follow through with the plan we have, and what we will need to do to secure their aid."
After remaining in contemplative silence since Do'rhajul had left the room, Ri'vashi finally brought herself to speak up and rejoin the conversation. "Ri'vashi thinks she is in mind with Oswall on that issue. As long as they are not shown any of the entrances to this place, then it is not terribly risky to bring them here. It will reveal some of our secrets to them, but that seems like it will be inevitable if we want their help. And perhaps seeing what we are capable of firsthand will help persuade them that this is a fight that can be won."

Do'rhajul nodded. "I will follow your lead. But in any case, it may be best to wait until I have been settled in for a while before speaking to her. It will give time for her passions to subside to at least some degree. And for me to show that I do not have hostile intent in being here."

"We can move our people anywhere we like, certainly. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for a portal to Oblivion." Meesei replied to Oswall. "I cannot think of anywhere in Tamriel both spacious and safe enough for us to both collect a strong force, and open a portal to Oblivion in secret. Since we cannot open a portal directly between here and Vile's realm, the Hunting Grounds will be our staging area for our final attack, but we will still need to keep the portal between here and the Hunting Grounds open the entire time. Fortunately, sigil stones can keep Oblivion gates remarkably stable for an extended time."
Meesei could not say she was quite as confident about the matter of Molag Bal, given the unpredictability of the Daedra. However, she still had her plan for dealing with him. "I know we may be desperate, but that does not mean we do not have any leverage over Molag Bal. If Vile were to claim Mundus, then that would elevate him to a dominant power over the other Daedric Princes. Molag Bal knows that, so he will not want Vile to succeed any more than we do. He will certainly still try to demand something of me, so I will have to be prepared to stand firm in refusing him. I will have to make it clear that I am aware his position of power is not as strong as he will want to make it seem. Any Daedra who helps to invade Vile's realm could steal a lot of power in the process, so there would be some loss for Molag Bal if he refuses to help. If he still demands too much, then we can seek the aid of a different Daedra. I doubt many would want Vile to succeed, though I still think that Molag Bal is the best option to try first. Other Daedra that have helped us before, like Hermaeus Mora, could be more shrewd in negotiations. Molag Bal is a more...emotional entity."

Yerig rubbed the back of his neck with an uncertain expression. "That...could be a long shot. Guess it depends on how much she trusts you. She was definitely our strongest opposition in there, and she has a lot of good reasons to be angry."
"I would certainly try, but Yerig may be right. She may not be willing to listen to any of my counsel." Do'rhajul added. "Still, I do believe that I could be a great help to you. What I know about our enemy could make even the most loyal of his zealots worried, provided we act quickly enough. I think we will need to make multiple, simultaneous strikes to maximize the impact, and truly cripple their remaining operations in Tamriel. Hopefully, we can persuade your General to accept my counsel on practical terms."

They were secret for a while, and still haven't been explicitly revealed to their allies, but once they were built and ready, all the clans started using them freely. So it didn't remain a secret among the lycan clans for long.
I think the clans would use propylon chambers for much of their trade. With those, it would probably be quick and convenient.
"If Marod and Lunise can convince them to use our propylon chambers, that should not be too difficult." Meesei replied. "We can make new chambers specifically for them, so they never encounter one another. Of course, that plan is the last resort in my mind. It would be best to convince them both to help willingly. Fortunately, I know those two well enough to know that they will be willing to work with me to convince their superiors. They know the stakes, as do many of their peers within the Thalmor and Penitus Oculatus. Their nations may be enemies, but those individuals that have been helping us in the war know that Vile cannot succeed. All of us together may be able to come up with a way to persuade their superiors. In fact, it may be wise for me to bring those two here so we can all discuss it together." She suggested.

Do'rhajul silently observed most of what Sabine showed them, but did not object when it was time for them to move on. He was not terribly keen on being out in the open, even if the risk of being identified was minimal. Even without being recognized, he was an individual who drew attention. There seemed to be few enough Khajiit in this place, much less Cathay-raht. The council member Ri'vashi was a Cathay, but even she did not match his size and presence. Once his identity was revealed, there would certainly be no hiding himself from the clan's members.
As they were moving on, presumably to the chambers that Sabine planned to arrange for them, Do'rhajul spoke up once more in a quiet voice. "I am not certain what your council will have me do for your clan. Or what they will trust me to do. All of my skills lie in warfare, but I do not know if they will trust me for something that could put them in danger."

Saras motioned a hand towards Janius. "You jest, but boldness like that may become necessary in these last days before our invasion. I am in agreement with the Champion. This is not the time for half-measures and compromises. We will need to be at the absolute height of our strength for the invasion, and be willing to accept any sacrifice required to get there. We can try to make as many plans for it as we want, but ultimately, the question of what happens after the invasion is irrelevant. There is no guarantee that our clan will even continue to exist after this, or if it does, that any of us will be alive to see it. But if it ends with success against him, then it will be worth the sacrifice."
Meesei nodded in agreement. "Indeed. I do not like the idea of deceiving either of Tamriel's major powers, but we will need both of them to help. Perhaps we will be able to get them to reach some sort of agreement, which I do believe should be our first choice. Even if it ends with us owing some favors, their cooperation would be preferred. But if not...they do not need to know that they are both helping us. This cavern is more than large enough to collect multiple armies in different parts of it, far enough away that they never see one another. Until they are in Vile's realm at which point the Daedra will be a far more immediate concern."

Do'rhajul raised his brow at Sabine. "Chaurus? Are those the...large insect creatures?" He asked, his voice carrying a noticeable tinge of disgust. Or at least, he was uneasy at the thought of eating such creatures.
Yerig, however, simply shrugged. "Eh, they're not that bad in the right kind of stew. Never liked it much on its own, though." Although most people, even those native to Skyrim, had never so much as thought about eating a chaurus, it perhaps should not have been a surprise that an old hermit like Yerig would have made meals of some of Skyrim's more odd creatures. It was unlikely that he always had the luxury of being picky.
Do'rhajul hummed. "I suppose they are not terribly different from a desert sandcrawler. They were quite valuable in Anequina. Do you suppose it is likely that I would be allowed moon sugar? The same recipes could work with chaurus, I suppose."
