Lands of Roawia: Reporting to the Duke

The setting sun lit the gold-work upon the Great Hall a flame with light, sending golden light across the market square. As Eolhelm, Eurisia, and Aealias hurried through the square towards the Great Hall, vendors were taking down their stalls and goods for the night. As they climbed the great staircase that led to the hall, a burst of falcons flew out of the hall and into the sky.
"Aye," Aealias whispered, "The Falcons of Bladefall have left. Something must be amiss." They reached the hall's terrace where two guards stood. The guards stepped out in front of them.
"Who are you? And what business do you have with the Duke of Bladefall at this hour?"
"I am Eolhelm Arngoth, And these are companions. Eurisia, Daughter of Lord Ecthelon, and Aealias, Cousin of Lady Macrae. We have been out on a task given to us by Duke Stanton, and we wish to report to him on our findings." The guard stepped back,
"The Duke is waiting for you," he opened the door to the hall. "If you would please follow me." The guard led them through the Great Hall of Bladefall. He passed into a hallway, and stopped at a door on the left. "Here you go, the Duke is waiting for you in here." He bowed and walked back down the hall to his post. They turned back to door, and Eurisia was about to knock when the door opened. A dark haired man greeted them. "Hello, The Duke is waiting for you. If you would please give me your weapons." Eolhelm and Aealias pulled their swords from their sheathes and handed them to the dark haired man, Eurisia unsheathed her knives, but handed them over a bit more reluctantly. The Advisor opened the door and led them into the fire lit room. Duke Stanton turned from the fire and greeted them warmly.
"Greetings! I assume your task is completed? "
"Yes Duke," Eolhelm spoke, "The outlaw band has been caught and sent back to their holes in the south."
"Very good," The Duke gestured to the sword stand by the wall. "Aye, if I had not been the Duke of this fair city I'd be out there myself hunting those swine." He picked the sword of the stand and held it aloft, a glow of affection in his eyes. He sighed and placed the sword on the stand. "But on to more important matters." He cleared his throat. "The High Council has appointed me to be in charge of rebuilding our northern defenses. Knowing your skill with Masonry, Arngoth, I was wondering if you would like to be put in charge of rebuilding the stronghold Pargath two days east of this very hall. It was ransacked by the Queen's forces before they left for Garheim so the wall is in complete ruins."
Eolhelm's face was deep with consideration. After what seemed like a long while he spoke up. "Duke Stanton, I would be honored to help rebuild glorious Lenfald."
"Very Well, and if they wish your companions may go with you. You will set out the day after next."
At this Eurisia spoke up, "Duke Stanton, I will not be able to help rebuild Pargath." Eolhelm and Aealias turned to her surprised. "I wish to head into Garheim. We have all heard what the Jarl thinks of us, but I'd like to see what the people think of Chartes. I have an old friend in Garheim from during the Loreos-Lenfald war. His name is Marek Luinmor." She turned to Duke Stanton. "If your stores have any wear Garhim like I'd be mighty appreciative."
"We do," The Duke replied, "Report to the East Wing of the Armory tomorrow."
Eurisia nodded, " I thank you my lord."
"Report back to me when you have completed your tasks," He said to the group. And motioned for them to be lead to their rooms.
