Martyna Z'muir: *picks pieces of box out of her hair*
Free: He has a purtty Sashh
Magnus Grey: Your majesty. Governors.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: The most pressing current issue involves the town of Yew.
Magnus Grey: The Candle of Love has been stolen.
Free: *hic*
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: An Adherent of Hatred named Edwin Thornberry stole the Candle from Empathy Abbey.
Magnus Grey: He is currently being pursued by the Druid Janna.
Free: *hic*
Free: ...I'm not wasted...
Magnus Grey: The exact motive for this theft is unknown.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: The Royal Guard is ready to recover the Candle when Thornberry's location is known.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: In the last few months, we have become aware of two possible threats to our security.
Magnus Grey: The first group is the Dark Unknown.
Magnus Grey: They are ancient demons of unspeakable power believed to reside deep in Dungeon Doom.
Free: *hic*
Dot Warner: *grumbles*
Magnus Grey: They have connections to the Lands of the Dark Unknown, which we call Malas.
Free: Dhoommmm
Magnus Grey: Recently, their Emissary Neikea tried to barter for the Ring of Chaos.
Magnus Grey: They are also responsible for a failed attack on Britain.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: Several questionable sources have mentioned that they aided Anon and Minax...
Magnus Grey: With the spell that attempted to disrupt the Silver Gate several months ago.
Magnus Grey: It is unclear why the Dark Unknown are active at this time.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: The Ministry is looking into the matter.
Magnus Grey: The second group is the Zealots of Unthar.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: There has only been one brief interaction with the group.
Magnus Grey: These liches were attempting to use the remains of Balema's king in a ritual.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: According to scholars at the Lycaeum, Unthar is a figure of myth and legend.
Magnus Grey: Unthar, an ancient mage, became consumed with pride in his magical powers.
Magnus Grey: He sought to use them to defy death forever.
Magnus Grey: He started using terrible necromantic arts, eventually dying and rising again.
Free: You just can't find a good Britannian dentist these days...
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: So was born, the tale goes, the first lich.
Magnus Grey: Apparently, none of the texts on the matter explain what happened after that.
Magnus Grey: Given past experience, such undead sorcerers are not to taken lightly.
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: So the Ministry is also looking into these liches.
Magnus Grey: Any questions?
Free: *hic*
Magnus Grey: Thank you for your time.
Magnus Grey: *picks up book*
Free: *hic*
King Blackthorn: My thanks to Minister Grey.
Free: He stole yer book
Free: *hic*
King Blackthorn: Governor Jameison, I am glad that the ship was recovered.
Magnus Grey: *reads through book*
Free: THIEF
Free: *hic*
King Blackthorn: Jhelom is a brave city to keep the pirate menace in check as it does.
King Blackthorn: Sir John, it is kind of Governor Knighthawke to personally tend to the injured animals.
Free: *hic*
Free: *hic*
King Blackthorn: And perfectly in keeping with her noble character, as we all know.
King Blackthorn: Please send her my warmest regards.
King Blackthorn: Governor Warner, the Cat's Lair is in a very heavily trafficked area.
Free: *hic*
Free: *hic*
King Blackthorn: It benefits tremendously from being so close to the bank and docks,
Dot Warner: *nods*
Free: *hic*
King Blackthorn: but there are risks to that.
King Blackthorn: Dr. Cat must take the bad with the good, the, ahem, sour milk with the fresh cream.
King Blackthorn: Governor Arminger, it is good to hear that all is well in Trinsic.
King Blackthorn: Governor Kittie, the archery tournament and net toss sound delightful.
King Blackthorn: I am pleased that all is well on Verity Isle.
Kittie: *smiles brightly*

Redlow DeSule: *coughs awkwardly*
Redlow DeSule: Pardon me.
King Blackthorn: I hope all is well with the Governor of Vesper.
King Blackthorn: *looks at notes*
King Blackthorn: Governor Willa, that does sound very distressing.
King Blackthorn: I am told that the Royal Guard is trying to find the Candle of Love.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: We need it back.
King Blackthorn: The Candle of Love will help to guide the learned hand of Justice.
King Blackthorn: I agree that it is horrible to think of anyone in my kingdom
King Blackthorn: being unjustly jailed or executed.
King Blackthorn: As for Farrah's assistant, I share your hope for his safe return.
King Blackthorn: Now we turn to requests from governors.
King Blackthorn: There weren't any this month, except those ably handled by the Lady Wraith. My thanks to her.
King Blackthorn: Now we shall open the floor to new issues.
King Blackthorn: Governors may present any new issues first.
King Blackthorn: Now citizens may present new issues.
Free: I could use a few spare coins yer grace
Martyna Z'muir: ...
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *facepalm*
King Blackthorn: *thinks*
Dot Warner: *tilts head*
Kittie: *cants her head*
John: I doubt the King has cash on him....I know I do not.
King Blackthorn: If you have a dagger, you can get kindling from trees and sell it to the
King Blackthorn: provisioner
King Blackthorn: That's how I got change when I was young.
Free: You have no coins your grace?
King Blackthorn: Sorry, I don't have any coins on me.

King Blackthorn: *nods*

King Blackthorn: Ah!
Dot Warner: He is a wanted man.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: He is a Pirate, Slave Trader and Murderer...
Kittie: *growls at the very mention of his name*
King Blackthorn: Thank you for the information, Governors Willa and Warner and Sir John.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I do hope the Britannian Armed Forces can bring him to Justice.
King Blackthorn: He must be displeased to now find no safe harbor in my cities.
Dot Warner: *looks sideways at Jameison*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: And if his ghost shall be tormented for eternity I would not mind.
Dot Warner: Mmhmmm.
King Blackthorn: When the Britannian Armed Forces capture him, I look forward to hearing of
King Blackthorn: his trial
King Blackthorn: If there are no further issues, we shall adjourn.
King Blackthorn: Thank you to all the governors present for a very productive Council meeting.
