From: Orcus and the Palantir
…the Vision centres around Orcus and his view on current events
About Orcus’ motivation - Orcus wants the Stone back. Therefore he wants the shards - Twin motivation for Orcus: retrieve Stone; defeat Demogorgan
About Orcus Force Disposition and Plans - Orcus has total of 3 legions o 2 at full strength o 1 scattered - Orcus does not have full control of any gates in the East - Orcus planning to use the gate at Hama’las to move troops from West to East - In Orcus’ opinion “no significant power” holds Sutur o Orcus does not respect/fear Malor and Inwe - Orcus withdrew his forces from Gos so as to engage at Sutur o Sutur currently held by Malor with assistance from Inwe (including a specific female lieutenant she has sent there – could be Celinas?) o This is good for us as Orcus will now clash with Malor/Inwe - Orcus’ immediate actions: o Send a legion to take Sutur o Send ½ legion to intercept Yishmay o Is hunting Morwath...(see below)
About the Gates - Sylvan elves regulated the unlocked gates according to their great wheel o This was the mechanism of control after the Palantirs were moved - Gates now moving at random (could be our fault?!) - Gates will stay random until a Human produces the 7th Age Codicil o should this be Dafydd’s Chronicle?
About Other En Forces - Orcus knows Malor has withdrawn his Gith to his direct control
About Us - “the Druid” (presumably Morwath?) has been of assistance to Orcus o Orcus has has the Druid in his control o Using him for information on White Council o The druid “escaped” – implies not willing allies o Orcus is now hunting the Druid (specificallty to get our shards)
