Log of the High Council Meeting on 10/06/14

[Lord DaKaren]

Log of the 445th Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 445th session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: Several weeks ago, Lord British returned to our realm.
DaKaren: No, he isn't staying. No, he is no longer our king...nor shall he be again.
DaKaren: This was just a visit...which went awry, as is oft to happen in Britannia.
DaKaren: Apparently, Minax has gained access to Trammel and has somehow turned Anon, the ex-Mage-Lord of the Council of Mages, to her side. *shakes head sadly*
DaKaren: What this means for the future is anyone's guess, but magical mayhem likely.
DaKaren: Continuing the trend of bad news... Skara Brae is having a slight ghost problem.
DaKaren: It appears that the Moonshade Crown has been used to create a lich-like being who has designs on the Well of Souls on Iver's Rounding. *sighs*
DaKaren: Theoretically, the Well can be used to 'feast on the power and knowledge of the dead,' which, I think we can all agree, is a Bad Thing.
DaKaren: Since Samhain rapidly approaches, I think the matter should be...resolved...with all due haste.
DaKaren: Those who have passed beyond the Veil should be left in peace.
DaKaren: Grand Marshal Polynikes, would you please brief the Council on military matters in the Kingdom?
Polynikes of Yew: Good evening Chancellor and Council members.

Polynikes of Yew: That is all I have to report at this time.
