Its heft was considerable. He glared at Galk then opened the leather case, despite himself he could not help but be intrigued as he removed the Bat’leth. The blade was well oiled and shone, the yellow wood buffed lovingly smooth. His grip tightened around the leather wound handle as Trei stepped back, it was supple and gave a visceral whisper as his grip tightened on it. He brought it before his face and a grunt escaped his lips as his eyes fixed on the inscribed symbol on the blade just below the twin grips. “The sigil of the House of Kor.” His eyes returned to Galk. “How did you acquire it?

When I saw him I told him who I was, proved it to him and he accepted me as his heir then told me where to find it. I then copied the records at Rura Pente which are on the chip.

I am here today to remove the stain of dishonor and injustice that Gowron brought upon it. I will not be bought. I demand the return of the Imperial House and nothing less.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>“The Imperial House no longer exists.” Eshag stood to his feet. “Are you stupid Pe’taq as well as disloyal?

That part of your holdings was unlawfully seized then taken by your father for his own rather than by the one who killed him. I understand that you preside over a stolen house, passed to him through cowardice and not by his own hand. Given to him rather than taken by force. Presented to him rather than won through combat as is our way. I understand that you sit on the council not by your own strength but by the strength of others, your warriors and the one who was twice called a traitor but redeemed himself.
