Parley at Marossi

The Parley at Marossi was a peace attempt between Queen Kenna Rys of Stormholt and Empress Azura of Ducitora.

The parley was supposed to be a peaceful negotiation between the Five Kingdoms and the Empire of Ducitora, but during Azura's gladiator tournament, she drained Leon Stirling's life force, which causes Kenna Rys to vow to kill Azura.

Prelude
After incarcerating King Luther for causing a war and enslaving her homeland, Kenna asked Luther why attack her allies. Luther replies that he had no intention to fight Kenna and that he was trying to escape from Ducitora. Kenna does not believe him but chooses to investigate herself.

The Parley
Kenna and her group arrives at the Iron Empire but Leon, Val, and Sei have suspicions about the land which they had never been to, and which had been warring with the Five Kingdoms for a long time. They are greeted first aggressively by Jorrin but he stands down when Azura arrives. Azura claims that she knows who each of Kenna's friends are (which proves to be true) and invites them for a tournament in both character's honor.

The Tournament
Leon is victorious in the tournament. But when he goes to get his "prize", Azura drains his life force out which angers and devastates Kenna and her group. Kenna orders Sei to distract Azura. Sei immediately turns into a dragon and helps the group escape. Sei manages to weaken Azura, but just as Kenna is about to finish her off, she absorbs the life force of a nearby soldier and regains her strength. The player has a choice to warn Azura's handmaiden of what Azura is like and offer a chance for her to join your alliance (Diamond Choice) or let her go.

Aftermath
Kenna vows vengeance to Azura and goes to war with her. She orders Raydan and Val to go immediately to Fydoria and make sure Azura cannot get her hands on the land. Kenna orders Will Jackson to take her down to the dungeons to free Luther, Diavolos, and Zenobia for their aid in the upcoming battle in exchange for their freedom. Kenna also asks Adder of the Black Asps to immediately spy on Azura and the other kingdoms for her to get as much information as possible that would help for the upcoming battle.
