O-o....Now it begins....In her Majesty's secret Service!
Sethyas Velas! You watch out, women are devious normally, but this one.....is faaaar more.
Very very nice to see ch 3 up already.... It's already driving shivers down my spine, so live up to your "name" post-machine please!

Ok so they're waiting now...all of them. I wonder how Seth feels standing face to face with Helseth? The man who wants him dead?
Those fabricants, I never have seen them, wonder what they look like? I will keep my fingers crossed that the meeting will be of no threat to Sethyas' life. You never know with Kings, they are so unpredictable.
Ok Mr Post-machine, keep them coming. I'm sure I will have a great need for more Sethyas when I come home from work in about 16 hours!

I find it amusing that Sethyas has problems with the Tribunal (which Rayne respects like many Dunmer), and Rayne is bored by history and investigating ancient objects. Keep this up, Black Hand.

Wonderful....Seth's conversation with Helseth was very enjoyable, and well written, so well written!
A humorous quote, which made me giggle, so typically Sethyas!:
Now the plot thickens, since I haven't played Tribunal I have no idea what's coming up next! I really can't wait to find out.
Now here's another quote I really appreciate:
An evening with a new Sethyas is a good evening!

QUOTE
I did as he bade, and fell to one knee as was expected. The move was apparently as unexpected by him, as me. It seemed to please him, yet also sent him off-center. Which in turn pleased me.

Now here's another quote I really appreciate:
QUOTE
“My dear Sethyas. Your words and your actions follow different paths. On the one hand, you claim you wish nothing to do with politics, and the aftermath of the Nerevarine Prophecies would seem to confirm that. However, in your ascension to your current place in politics, you slayed those Councilors whom opposed you, and assisted those whom supported you, in not one, but three houses. You killed the head of your house in an Honorable duel, you killed the Archmagister of House Telvanni, you even killed Orvas Dren. Am I leaving anything out?”
“You missed a few Ashkhans, the Temple Ordinators at Ald Daedroth, Sixteen Morag Tong writs, two of whom were Telvanni Councilors, one a Hlaalu, and an Imperial Legion General, all three were allies. And three Hlaalu members whom you ordered killed to consolidate your power, who died at my hand.”

An evening with a new Sethyas is a good evening!
Awesome conversation. It progressed logically and entirely in character for both of them. Two great minds meet at last. Bravo!

Interesting intrigues are coming up. Who's plotting against who? It's developing into complexity(?) now...
Well Seth..ever heard of modesty?
No..I didn't think so
I want more.....
QUOTE
Was he afraid of me? I don’t know. Perhaps he knew that he had already crossed the line with me. If he crossed it again…nothing would save him. Not the Queen, not Almalexia, not Delitian. I would keep coming until one of us was dead.

Major continuations here, with loads of undercurrents. Fun reading how Seth's personality and background color his dealings with Helseth.

Hehehehehehehehehehehe....*devious laugh*
Ok...so now we're talking! This izzz getting deep into mystery now. I'm very anxious to see where this is going...
I hope you will continue really soon!
I'm going away on friday and I would like to....know more really I would...
Pretty pleeeeease Blackie! You know how much I like this story...

I'm afraid I entirely missed the whole "you're the real target" part of that quest. I was honestly paying too much attention to coming out from behind the screen and killing them than what they were actually saying (which is actually quite atypical of me). D'oh! 
In any case, you handled it very well.
It's attention to detail like this that I'm going to have to adopt if I ever want to do that ultra-ambitious 2920-style second project I've been vaguely dreaming of making. 'Course, I'll have to finish The Interim first.
But enough about me. My point is that this is starting to get really awesome. Keep it up!

The level of intrigue in this story keeps skyrocketing, and I'm finding it quite riveting. Sethyas certainly has great insight into what is going on; much more than I think the king would like him to have. I'm looking forward to a uniquely "Black Hand" take on the fight with Karrod, especially what kind of thoughts you put into his mind as he duels this mighty champion.
Thanks Blackie, another Sethyas was just what I needed this..uhhh very odd day.
I can feel the tension building up here. Makes me wonder...but I'm sure Seth sees through the wicked King. Otherwise he wouldn't be Sethyas.
The only problem I have now is that I probably won't see Sethyas until tuesday night...
Because I'm going away tomorrow after work...
On the other hand I might have some miiiiiiiiighty good reading when I return!
Love it.....

Yes...what is his true purpose? I must admit I haven't a clue, so I guess I'll have to wait and see, (til tuesday?)
Aaaaanyway so he's going out with Rayne? A decent thing to do, the poor girl must have been sick with worry.
A Seth-ish quote:
Awesome..just awesome

So our little friend was a bit of a drinker. They wanted me to do what to him exactly? Try to drink him under the table? Poison his drink? Get into a barfight? No. Helseth would be watching me ever closer then usual. None of these things warranted killing a man outside of honorable combat. Assassin I may be, but something about eliminating Karrod prior to the duel just left a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps it was the Redoran in me.
Awesome..just awesome

“This buys you my service, and a bit of loyalty too.”
If only true loyalty could be bought. I do hope his new companion doesn't cause him any trouble.

I didn't think Seth was suicidal, but now I don't know...If I was Raynie I'd be terrified for him or at least I'd try to talk him out of it.
But of course you can't talk Sethyas out of something he's in for, so let's hope he and his "loyal" companion really makes it.
Honestly I think they do.
I hope nobody will do just that to him....
So I'll be patiently waiting....for what?
You know what Blackie....you know!

Damn good work here, Black Hand. I mean, I go off on this little canoe trip of mine, and come back with about 8.23 billion updates to read, and every one is bloody wonderful. 
I read this over the last couple of days and what can I say? Bloody brilliant, that's what!
You have managed to craft words with the skill of a truly gifted author, making the plot of both games into something truly special. You have moments of humour, romance, action, tension and philosophy throughout, whilst Sethyas is a brilliantly developed character. Ruthless enough to be an assassin, yet human enough to be likeable, Sethyas seems to be a loveable rogue and one of my favourite characters.
Good show!

Ok Mr Bean! You just said all what I was thinking of saying, I do second every word of it, since Sethyas really IS my favourite charachter, and Serene' as well..
Your poetic, yet intriguing writing style appeals to me very much. I'm so eager to see where this is going, the tension build-up make me shiver from anticipation

And my date with death was still a few hours off.
Oh Sethyas....
deleted.
That was an excellent update. The interplay between Sethyas and Helseth at the end is truly superb. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they handle things from here, and what the nature of their relationship becomes.
Wow!
That was an awesome duel there. Not quite as awesome as the one between Sethyas and Venim, but awesome nonetheless.
And whls we're a bit in the vein of picking favourite characters, mine has got to be Rayne.

To clarify my earlier response (Wow!), I'd like to say that I direct it (Wow!) to the transformation of Sethyas and Helseth's dispositions towards one another. It is a radical shift, and yet you make it fit, taking total ownership of the Tribunal storyline. The duel was nice too, though I think you've done better. So I guess I'm saying...
Wow!
Wow!
Yes....oh yes you've done it again! An excellent read after a hard day's work. And as have been pointed out by the rest of your fan-club, the interaction between Helseth and Sethyas was really very well described.
But..can the King be trusted?
In my opinion Seth will have to be alert, he must watch his back, because if I was him...I wouldn't trust His Royal Highness for one lousy bit!
Hmmm waiting very patiently....again

Nice dialog between Helseth and Sethyas. 
What will happen now? Will he begin to actually like Helseth?

This took awhile to read through including Volume One, but it was well worth it!
The Tale of Sethyas Velas is masterfully written with romance, comedy, and action...usually all within one update. I thought I was going to cry when Ilmeni died. Anyways, loved it! Keep all the updates coming and as many say, postmachine!

Finally got the guts to read and catch up with it.
First of all, it's good. Really good. As for the latest developments, I add my voice to everyone else. It will be interesting to see how Sethyas' new outlook on things will continue to affect him.

This was a beautiful installment , Blackie! So thoughtful and calm if you know what I mean (yes you do! ) I read it for the first time very early this morning at the hotel-computer, then I read it again...now, being at home again. I love it, its balm for my mind to read your work....

*sigh* I, too, miss Sethyas, but like any other "machine" even this one might need some time off. I dont't know but I think we'll just have to sit patient and wait.
I hope he isn't dead.
It's only been one month since the last update, folks. Let's just chill a bit. Heck, I think just in the 2008 calendar year I've had two stretches where I took at least 2 months off. It happens. Just makes the next installment all the sweeter.

Ah, I enjoy this quest, if only because a couple (at least) years back in the Lore Forum we had this crazy speculation thread suggesting that Eno Romari was an avatar of Seht. I loved that thread. Almost as good as my joke-post about Charles the Plant being an heir to the Septim Empire. Ah, the Lore Forum.
It's great to see another update. I ended up reading through the entirety of Volume II before I got to this, just so I could remember and appreciate the context of the rest of the story.
Terrific work, as usual. Hopefully the next update will come a bit sooner!
