"Talk to Garail, learn how the plan works. Find the pieces that can be used and thrown away." Tyran said with a shrug.

(It is always quite nice :D)

"Yes." He said with a chuckle. "Unless you have a problem with it?"

(Alright!)
(Hurray finding ways to make plans work!)

"Simply, should the plan go south finding a proper... scapegoat to keep the blame from finding me.

(Should we wait then skip forward with all our characters?)
(Yeah, it sounds good to me)

A smile curled across his lips, he placed his hands on the table and leaned forward. "I do have this little problem, Garail has been unable to solve for me." He said lightly. 

"Alright." Lina said, leaning forward and resting against him for support. 

(Well, Fear mages can detect things such as life- it wouldn't be much of a stretch that they could detect when something powerful is coming.) 

"One month, we will begin the operation. Two months at worse should any changes be made to the princesses travel plans." Tyan said, as he picked up his fork and finished off his meal. 

"Thanks." Lina said, taking Kenu's hand and pulling herself up behind him.

(Actually canonically speaking Shal is blessed by Fear so there is some connection to the Hollow Gods in his lineage. What was the idea?
Premonition? Several creations of Truth have it in a way- so I guess technically speaking if any of the children were to have it, it would be children of Truth, it might be that it presents itself as a feeling of foreboding before a horrible event, or a feeling of peace before a pleasant event rather than being able to directly read the future though)

(It will I say!)
"How long? This plan has been in the making for several years, it is only recently that all the pieces have begun to come together." He cut the remaining ham slice in half, "war may not be desired, but if there is a cause to rally around they will be more than willing to fight. Vengeance is an excellent motivator, and the royal family is... highly popular."
 
"Yeah, I'm ready." Lina said, returning the smile as she strapped her pouch to the horse. "It feels like a month since we did this."
 
(Totally)
(Alright, sounds good to me. And given how often the Hollow Gods' especially Hunger leaves after a few years of their first child it still works that Kiara's mother could have remarried.)  

(It'll get better)
"With the backing of several other noble families who are... willing to stand with me, I will step forward to defend a nation believing itself under assault. From there, produce evidence that will lead a frightened populous  to believe that several outlying kingdoms are to blame." Tyran picked up his fork, and met her eyes. "How many have I gathered? one-hundred and three." he said, slipping the meat off his fork and into his mouth.

Lina waved to them both as she followed Kenu out. With a light smile Ariana turned to Akade, "well, lets get back to work."
(There's no real problem with it so feel free to keep her as a child of Hunger, but, generally speaking children of Hunger are extremely powerful mages, both because of how many different types of powers manifest and how well they can use their powers. That said- Children of Hunger aren't all fantastic mages, they are simply more likely to be powerful)
(Just wondering if you wanted Kenu also to be related to Hunger)

(So I typed out a nice long response and... I fracking logged out for no reason! So here's a not nearly as good response.)

"Your brother is collecting a child of Pride." Tyran said lightly, folding the strip of ham with his fork and spearing it. "The palace would be impossible to capture in a frontal assault without acquiring a large amount of assets." He placed the fork on the side of the plate, the ham still hanging off.
"But, because of current imperial views on the conscription of mages into the armies and how soldiers are drawn into the Imperial Guard, very few mages are within the Guard. Which provides exploitable weakness, use Children of Fear to keep a detachment of the guard chasing ghosts. Have smaller flexible teams break through soldiers left behind to keep back areas locked down. Simply put, it is not about defeating the Imperial Guard and controlling the palace so much as killing the royal family before the Guard can regain control of the situation."

"It has been a pleasure serving you both." Ariana said lightly. "Ride safe."
"Thank you, keep well." Lina replied with a smile. 

(Children of Hunger- the overpowered mages of this universe)

While I'm thinking of it, are Kiara and Kenu full or half siblings in this RP?

"It wouldn't take too much to overpower the imperial guard in the palace, and with the princess returning from the east soon a grand opportunity has presented itself. A small number of the children of the gods attacking at the correct time would be more than enough." He picked up his knife and fork and cut off another slice of ham.

Ariana placed the pouch on the counter top and chuckled. "I may not agree with you but I won't turn down extra money." She turned to Lina with another easy smile. "Keep him out of trouble, ok?" 
"Ok." Lina said with a nod. 
"Also, come back and visit some time, it was fun having you two around." she added with a wink. 

"That is the problem right there, this stability you speak of is little more than complacently. It serves us no purpose keeping the smaller border kingdoms sovereign when the land could used for imperial interests. Nor is there a reason to believe this... relationship with Xia will continue to last, our focus should be on the next fifty years, one the past hundred." Tyran kept his eyes focused on Kiara's, as Garail resumed his position in the corner of the room.

Ariana smiled softly as she leaned against the desk. "It will be three silver for the night you had planned on staying."
"What about the other nights?" Lina asked slowly.
"My gift to you for all your help these past days." Ariana answered lightly, holding her hand out for the coins.
