Post by Lord DaKaren » Tue Apr 03, 2018 7:58 pm

King Blackthorn: Welcome governors and citizens to this month's Council meeting.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Good evening Your Grace.
Kittie: Greetings your Majesty
Farrah: Good Evening your Grace *nods*
King Blackthorn: *nods hello to everyone*
King Blackthorn: We have a lengthy agenda for this meeting, so let's get started.
King Blackthorn: If a governor will not be able to attend a meeting of the Council,
King Blackthorn: Contact my secretaries (Elizabella@uoem.net and Malachi@uoem.net.)
King Blackthorn: If you would like to make a request for assistance with an event,
King Blackthorn: it should be sent to Lord Raine (UORaine@gmail.com).
King Blackthorn: He has a cottage with a mailbox in northwest Britain, near the North Side Inn.
King Blackthorn: Several governors informed me that they would be unable to attend this evening.
Farrah: *nods*
King Blackthorn: I see that Nevahs Blazefire will be speaking for Britain.
Kittie: *nod* I will be speaking for Jhelom Your Grace.
Nevahs Blazefire: *nods and bows slightly*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *snickers*
Farrah: *giggles*
King Blackthorn: Duly noted, Governor Kittie. Please tell us the status of Jhelom after you discuss Moonglow.
Kittie: Yes, Your Majesty
King Blackthorn: We will start from Moonglow this meeting. Governor Kittie, you have the floor.
Kittie: Thank you, Your Grace.
Kittie: Moonglow has been faring well. This Saturday is the bi-monthly Archery tournament. I know many look forward to it. Aside from that, we have heard from Malik again, he is sticking around the town a bit longer, but he is most welcome to do so
Kittie: as he is well loved with the people.
Kittie: Other than this, Moonglow is a happy city. *smiles*
Kittie: Now, for Jhelom. *unrolls a scroll*
Kittie: There appeared to be an attack on the city. There have been many casualties and various people who have been deeply wounded.
Kittie: They are asking for aid from all of the cities, in the form of wood, ingots, food and aid to help in healing.
Kittie: There is a witness though, who was gravely wounded. All she could say was "viaxus" .. so the Governor is looking into this matter. That is why he could not make it tonight. As he is dealing with his city.
Kittie: That is all I have Your Grace. I pass the floor to the lovely Governor Farrah.
Farrah: The city of Skara Brae is doing well. Most recently we celebrated St. Patrick’s with a lovely pub
Farrah: crawl
Farrah: We enjoyed drinks and all were merry!
Farrah: Now all the townspeople and myself are focusing on the upcoming Easter Event to be hosted in
Farrah: Skara Brae, with the good Governor Jennifer-Marie.
Velturus Viaxus: *Nods to the Yathrin*
Farrah: We are all very thrilled to be a part of the Easter egg hunt.
Farrah: The Holiday's sure are a splendid time, other than that I have nothing more to report.
Farrah: *Nods* With that I yield the floor to Governor Willa
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Thank you Governess Farrah.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Yew fares well
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Apparently better than Jhelom...
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I will say though that's what happens when you court darkness for so long...
Willa of the Yew-Wood: As for assistance ...
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *glares at the Viaxus*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Yew would help...
Rhyldrin Viaxus: *smiles back and waves indiscreetly*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: But I wonder as to validity of the accusations.... given the present company...
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I do have many concerns.
Farrah: *nods*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I am most distressed hearing such things.
Jennifer-Marie: *raises an eyebrow*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I will pass through to Governess Tanda..
Tanda: Thank you Governor Willa,
Tanda: Your Grace
Tanda: Minoc is improving health is returning to the city
Surr'ah Viaxus: Ilharess,
Tanda: and the trade has been brisk.
Surr'ah Viaxus: Feel free to step Forward, so you can hear.
Surr'ah Viaxus: I will be at your side.
Tanda: I am concerned over the report regarding Jhelom, but it seems
Tanda: odd that unless the Clan Viaxus plans to wipe out the entire governing body
Tanda: here and now they'd show up here after such an attack.
Tanda: I will render what aid may help the private citizens but will not pass judgement
Tanda: at this point
Rhyldrin Viaxus: *smiles and nods*
Kittie: *shrug* I cannot comment.
Tanda: I pass the floor to Justicar Nevahs
Farrah: *grins*
Nevahs Blazefire: Thank you, Governor Tanda.
Destinie Moon: *raises my hand*
Nevahs Blazefire: Circumstances have forced Governor Warner to oversee the delivery of a shipment of much needed wheat to Cove
Nevahs Blazefire: Meanwhile, there's been some arguments between the Britain Library and the Britain Bardic Consortium
Nevahs Blazefire: in regards to some intellectual property rights of some musical manuscripts.
Nevahs Blazefire: Speaking of books, the investigation of the theft of the Gold Tome of the Virtues has uncovered a
Nevahs Blazefire: trail that shows the thieves escaped through the sewers to the Lost Lands.
Nevahs Blazefire: That is all. I yield the floor to Governor Jennifer-Marie.
Destinie Moon: *raises my hand*
Jennifer-Marie: *nods to Nevahs* Thank you. The 2nd Annual Governor's Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt is almost upon us!
Farrah: *smiles*
Jennifer-Marie: Final preparations are being made in Skara Brae and the Easter Egg Hunt will be this coming Saturday, March 24th at 7:00 pm EST / 6:00 pm CST with the Vorpal Bunny Bash to follow immediately after
Jennifer-Marie: hosted by Chancellor DaKaren, as always.
Jennifer-Marie: Trinsic has been busy with preparations for the upcoming Ostara Sabbat preparations but as always, we will gladly help our fellow citizens with whatever they need from us.
King Blackthorn: Governor Jennifer-Marie, do you yield the floor?
Jennifer-Marie: Jhelom has whatever we can provide
Jennifer-Marie: *nods*
King Blackthorn: *is quiet again*
Jennifer-Marie: *nods again* That is all from me, my Lord.
King Blackthorn: *smiles* I hadn't realized you had more to say. I'm sorry to have interrupted you.
King Blackthorn: I see that you have yielded the floor now,
King Blackthorn: So, I shall invite Minister Grey to speak.
King Blackthorn: Thank you to all the governors for keeping me informed about your towns and cities.
King Blackthorn: Our Minister of Security, Magnus Grey, shall now address the Council.
Magnus Grey: Your majesty. Governors.
Farrah: *nods*
Magnus Grey: As I mentioned before:
Magnus Grey: The Ministry of Security is part of several new initiatives this year.
Magnus Grey: We have been working with several Britannian groups to better protect the peace.
Magnus Grey: I believe these coordinated efforts have been useful so far.
Magnus Grey: They have identified several issues we will be looking into in the coming months.
Magnus Grey: One of particular note is a prophecy from the Xenkan monks:
Magnus Grey: *takes out piece of paper*
Magnus Grey: "A place of time. Find a place of time."
Magnus Grey: "Find the serpent's bride and the king's friend."
Magnus Grey: "An army of iron."
Magnus Grey: "The same hammer can forge a sword or build a temple."
Magnus Grey: "A war of snakes and spiders."
Magnus Grey: "A silver sword will not end the war."
Velturus Viaxus: *Perks up*
Magnus Grey: "Shadows of Truth, Love, and Courage"
Magnus Grey: "They will reclaim the Skull."
Nevahs Blazefire: *Tilts her head with an expression of curiosity*
Magnus Grey: We still don't know what it means, but hopefully, we will be able to learn more.
Magnus Grey: Any questions on Britannian security?
Magnus Grey: Thank you for your time.
King Blackthorn: My thanks to Minister Grey.
King Blackthorn: Now I shall respond to the State of the Towns.
King Blackthorn: Governor Knighthawke, it is good to hear that the people of Minoc are regaining their usual robust health.
King Blackthorn: It is very kind of the city of Sacrifice to offer help to others.
King Blackthorn: Countess Blazefire, it sounds like the investigation into the theft of the Gold Tome is proceeding well.
King Blackthorn: The intellectual property issue sounds intriguing. I hope it is settled justly.
King Blackthorn: Governor Jennifer-Marie, scavenger hunts are such jolly fun.
King Blackthorn: It is always nice to see my governors working together.
King Blackthorn: And it is very kind of the city of Paladins to offer assistance to others.
King Blackthorn: Governor Kittie, the archery tournament sounds exciting.
King Blackthorn: I am pleased that all is well on Verity Isle.
King Blackthorn: Thank you for passing along the message from Jhelom.
Kittie: *smiles and nods*
King Blackthorn: How horrible to hear reports of attacks on my city of Valor!
Kittie: *nods*
King Blackthorn: I am sure the citizens of Britannia will band together and offer aid.
Kittie: Thank you, your Grace
King Blackthorn: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: Governor Farrah, what a delightful celebration your town had for the holiday.
King Blackthorn: I hope your festivities greeting spring are as lovely.
Velturus Viaxus: *Whispers to the Ilharess*
King Blackthorn: Governor Willa, I am pleased that my city of druids continues well.
King Blackthorn: Now we shall open the floor to new issues.
Kal'iksix Viaxus: *nods*
King Blackthorn: Governors may present any new issues now.
King Blackthorn: Now citizens may present any new issues.
King Blackthorn: Destinie Moon, did you have an issue to present?
Destinie Moon: Not a new issue
Velturus Viaxus: Your Highness,
Willa of the Yew-Wood: You!
Destinie Moon: but I did want to point out that they aren’t guilt free
Velturus Viaxus: The House of Viaxus, as citizens of Jhelom,
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *looks at Velturus*
Destinie Moon: just because they show up here now
King Blackthorn: An old issue is fine as well.
Velturus Viaxus: Wish to address this Royal Court.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I would have to say..... your people I would not consider citizens of this realm.
King Blackthorn: Destiniee Moon has the floor for the moment.
Velturus Viaxus: *nods*
Velturus Viaxus: Bel'al dos, Your Highness.
Destinie Moon: does excuse the possibility they did attack or didn’t. However, I a citizen of Skara will provide aid
King Blackthorn: That is very generous of you, Destinie Moon. Thank you.
Kittie: Thank you Destinie hon. *smiles* I'm sure Carpe would most appreciate it.
Destinie Moon: I yield the floor
Farrah: *sighs*
King Blackthorn: Velturus Viaxus, you have the floor now
Velturus Viaxus: Your Highness.
Velturus Viaxus: I address you on behalf of the citizens of Jhelom,
Velturus Viaxus: Of the Noble House of Viaxus,
Velturus Viaxus: It is true.
Velturus Viaxus: Our fleets do operate within the Seas of Jhelom.
Velturus Viaxus: And it is true also,
Velturus Viaxus: That we have deployed numerous protectors to the City of Jhelom.
Velturus Viaxus: We are citizens of the city, despite our status of the past,
Velturus Viaxus: And have taken residence within this State of your Highness,
Velturus Viaxus: Many of us have sworn the oath to the Library of Scars,
Velturus Viaxus: And it is true, Jhelom is a target of Pirates.
Jy'rinia O'fae: *nods*
Velturus Viaxus: We have fired many cannons,
Velturus Viaxus: In defense of our Home.
Jy'rinia O'fae: aye tis true!
Velturus Viaxus: They dying words of an ill-informed casualty,
Velturus Viaxus: Is hardly the grounds of blame to those that have sacrificed Life and Limb,
Velturus Viaxus: To the Virtue of Valor.
Velturus Viaxus: We claim no other Virtue.
Xull'Rae Viaxus: *nods*
Farrah: *nods*
Velturus Viaxus: But we are honored in taste and deed to Virtue.
Velturus Viaxus: Many of these cities, we have helped,
Velturus Viaxus: Given aid, even when not asked.
Velturus Viaxus: *Nods to Farrah*
Velturus Viaxus: Instead of Blame,
Velturus Viaxus: We ask for support.
Velturus Viaxus: We have been fighting a war that has been Unseen to your Royal Inquisition,
Velturus Viaxus: Pirates and Brigands who take Valor too far.
Velturus Viaxus: We ask for support to deploy more Militia.
Bel'dorl Viaxus: *looks around*
Velturus Viaxus: And we shall deploy more militia, as we have in the caves of Despise.
Destinie Moon: *raises hand again*
Farrah: Velturus, do you mind if I speak?
Velturus Viaxus: With your Royal Blessing.
Velturus Viaxus: I yield the floor to the Honorable Governor of Skara Brae.
Farrah: As the Governor of Skara Brae, I choose to respect your words.
Farrah: And as I have witnessed no crime, nor attack...I would like to assume you are innocent of blame
Velturus Viaxus: *smiles pleasantly*
Farrah: My city of Skara Brae would like to aid you in fighting the pirates that aim to destroy you
Farrah: and your homes
Farrah: If you will accept our help
Farrah: *nods*
Kal'iksix Viaxus: *smiles in Farrah's direction*
Velturus Viaxus: *bows deeply*

Farrah: Perhaps find a new city to live in then..*whispers*
Destinie Moon: Jehlom.. I do not fully trust you and feel that maybe another set of people should a neutral party
Nevahs Blazefire: *Whispers* By your leave, Your Majesty, I must depart. *bows and scurries off*

Kal'iksix Viaxus: *rolls her eyes*
Velturus Viaxus: *Whispers to her Grace, the Ilharess*
Kittie: Thank you, your Grace. I just wanted to add, that Moonglow will be sending aid and on behalf of Governor Diem, I would like to thank all that would give aid to a city in dire need of assistance. While I cannot say anything pertaining
Kittie: to the notion of who or what did this, I do hope that the perpetrator is caught and given swift justice for what they did.
Kittie: That is all, Your Majesty.
Farrah: *nods to Kittie*
King Blackthorn: *nods*
King Blackthorn: Did anyone else have anything to add?
Jennifer-Marie: *nods and raises her hand*
