Hmm... I have to think.  The Regent has the scepter, but his presence in
Aryisa is not common knowledge.  He's not likely to give up the scepter. 
 Meanwhile, Duke Iyan has control of the country and could care less
about the scepter.

My suggestion:  Duke Iyan agrees to turn over the scepter in return for
Mirish recognition and support of Aryisan control of the Razanian Coast. 
Alvar flatly refuses to negotiate.  If aryisa aciton Five fails, Alvar is
probably caught by Iyan and he will turn over the scepter to Mir.
