Log of the 470th Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 470th session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: Sooo... The eight "Moonstones of Sin" were banished from this plane last week, apparently without major incident.
DaKaren: I hope that they are not recovered by any of the beings of ill-intent known to lurk in the Void.
Martyna Z'muir: *snorts*
DaKaren: *sighs*
DaKaren: In other world-altering events, the Time Lord successfully created a silver moongate to the homeland of Minax.
DaKaren: However, it is my understanding that the gate isn't quite ready for travel at this time. *shrugs slightly*
DaKaren: I suggest being ready for whatever evils that may spill forth from such a connection.
DaKaren: "Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst." as the saying goes...
DaKaren: Lord Locke, our last Justicar-Elect is able to be with us this eve, so we shall administer the oath post haste.
DaKaren: Please approach the podium, Justicar-Elect Locke.
DaKaren: Please raise your right hand and repeat after me...

DaKaren: "To espouse the truest sense of Justice, that of"
Valeran: To espouse the truest sense of Justice, that of
DaKaren: "Truth tempered by Love,"
Valeran: Truth, tempered by Love
DaKaren: "to follow the tenets of the Virtues,"
Valeran: to follow the tenets of the Virtues
DaKaren: "and to always rule upon matters brought before"
Valeran: and to always rule upon matters brought before
DaKaren: "me without bias in fairness to the laws"
Valeran: me without bias in fairness to the laws
DaKaren: "of the Kingdom of Britannia,"
Valeran: of the Kingdom of Britannia
DaKaren: "and to always act in the best interest of her peoples."

DaKaren: *applauds*
Valeran: Thank you!
Nevahs Blazefire: *smiles*
Dot Warner: *claps*
Tanda: *claps*
Farimer Tensus: *claps*
Tanda: Welcome aboard
DaKaren: You may be seated.
Valeran: Thank you. I shall do my best to serve the Kingdom well.
DaKaren: Grand Marshal Polynikes, would you please brief the Council on military matters in the Kingdom?
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you, Chancellor
Polynikes of Yew: There has been little military activity in the lands.
Polynikes of Yew: I am sure John and Governor Knighthawke will fill us in on activity in Moonglow.
DaKaren: *nods*
Polynikes of Yew: I would issue a travelers warning for anyone passing our cemeteries.
Polynikes of Yew: I am getting reports of strange creatures again.
Polynikes of Yew: That is all I have to share with the council.
DaKaren: Ah, aye. The "wonders" of October...
DaKaren: Thank you, Grand Marshal.
DaKaren: Councilor Kivlov, does the Township of Newcastle have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Guntur Kivlov: *ahem*
Guntur Kivlov: Newcastle has no news at this time.
Guntur Kivlov: I would like to personally welcome Justicar Locke however.
Guntur Kivlov: *nods to valerian*
Valeran: *nods*
Guntur Kivlov: Thank you Chancellor
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Councilor Knighthawke, does the city of Minoc have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Tanda: We had another run in with labor
Tanda: and forced slavery
DaKaren: *frowns*
Tanda: The presence of a ship owned
Tanda: by Rodrik
Tanda: speaks
Tanda: to some of what we expected to find
Tanda: and a curious
Tanda: series of comments from Alexander
Tanda: who runs Minoc Mining Company
DaKaren: Oh?
Tanda: and has been a good and faithful steward
Tanda: over his employees
Tanda: his comments were not like him
Tanda: referring to the enslaved workers
Tanda: as people who wouldn't be missed
Tanda: lowly
Tanda: and expendable
Tanda: and a couple of times it seemed
Tanda: as if he had more to say
Tanda: but stopped himself abruptly
Tanda: There were books found in the mining camp tents
Tanda: one with a confirmation
Tanda: that people were abducted
Tanda: out of their fields
Tanda: and such
Tanda: another
Tanda: which reads more like a ledger
Tanda: than a letter
Tanda: I suspect there is more to that note
Tanda: that appears on the surface
DaKaren: How so?
Tanda: I suspect the author was trying
Tanda: to tell us something
Tanda: just have to figure out what all the numbers mean
Tanda: I transcribed a copy
Tanda: it's stored in the bank
Tanda: All the freed slaves have been fed, healed
Tanda: and either given a paid position or taken back home
Tanda: as they wished
DaKaren: That is good news.
Tanda: I still have a nagging feeling
Tanda: something else is amiss
Tanda: that is all for now
DaKaren: *nods*
DaKaren: I hope all the pieces fall into place.
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Councilor Warner, does the City of Britain have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Dot Warner: *nods*
Dot Warner: Britain has remained quiet. No reports of Rodrik's minions or other troubles.
Dot Warner: The city coffers continue to fill from expanded trade, over 150 million gold at present.
Dot Warner: Cove's animal population was cleared of carrying the illness which has troubled the hamlet.
Dot Warner: The cause of the animal's agitation was traced to a series of strategically placed resonating crystals.
Dot Warner: When the crystals were destroyed, a portal led to a cavern under Cove inhabited by strange slimy creatures.
Dot Warner: I'm of the mind that the creatures themselves were not controlling the crystals, but were its guardians.
Dot Warner: To me, this implies that Cove's problems may be worsening. *sighs*
Dot Warner: The Red Ankh Society will continue to keep me apprised of new developments.
Dot Warner: In happier news, the King's Cup shall be held the afternoon of November 14th at 2:30pm C.
Dot Warner: The current top eight point holders shall receive invitations.
Dot Warner: That is all, thank you.
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Councilor Jameison, does the city of Jhelom have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Thom Jameison: Thank you Chancellor
Thom Jameison: Jhelom is doing very well. No incidents or disturbances.
Thom Jameison: Our businesses are prospering and trade with our sister city Skara Brae is booming.
Thom Jameison: That is all I have to share this evening.
Farimer Tensus: *smiles*
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Councilor Tensus, does the City of Skara Brae have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Farimer Tensus: Aye
Farimer Tensus: Firstly, congratulations to Lord Valeran
Farimer Tensus: *nods*
Farimer Tensus: Second
Valeran: *nods*
Farimer Tensus: a poem
Farimer Tensus: tick tock goes the clock
Farimer Tensus: continuing on...
Dot Warner: That was a poem?
Farimer Tensus: Things have been quiet in our fair Island
John: *sighing*
Farimer Tensus: *stares coldly at Dot*
Farimer Tensus: yes it was...
Martyna Z'muir: No, it wasn't.
Farimer Tensus: I wrote it last eve
Farimer Tensus: for you actually
DaKaren: *sighs*
Farimer Tensus: Governor Dot, tick tock goes the clock...
Norman Arminger: *raises an eyebrow*
Farimer Tensus: there is a key to this now
Dot Warner: Ah, so a vague, thinly-veiled threat...
Farimer Tensus: the clock stops tick tocking over time
Farimer Tensus: it needs to be wound again...
Farimer Tensus: you are as predictable as clockwork
Farimer Tensus: so my question is...
Dot Warner: *rolls her eyes*
Farimer Tensus: who turns your crank Governor Dot?
Tanda: *snickers*
Dot Warner: Wouldn't you like to know...
Farimer Tensus: this is all I have to say at this time...
DaKaren: Uhm... perhaps that is for the best...
Farimer Tensus: *rubs staff*
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor....

DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
Farimer Tensus: *yawns*
DaKaren: Councilor Arminger, does the city of Trinsic have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Norman Arminger: The city of Trinsic has nothing to report at this time Chancellor.
DaKaren: Very well, thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Minister Hla-ate, do you have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Malag aste: I have nothing at this time though I share the concerns about the stones.
Malag aste: I'm glad they are not remaining in the hands of mortals.
DaKaren: *nods*
Malag aste: Having them all in one place in the hands of those easily corrupted is never a good idea.
DaKaren: They would be much worse in the hands of an immortal, however...
Martyna Z'muir: Zog is floating out there in the Void too...
Malag aste: *sighs*
DaKaren: *cringes*
Malag aste: Well I prefer no one be using them.
DaKaren: Indeed.
DaKaren: Thank you, Minister.
DaKaren: Chief Justicar Blazefire, does the High Court have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Nevahs Blazefire: No, the High Court has nothing to report at this time.
DaKaren: *nods*
DaKaren: Thank you, Chief Justicar.
DaKaren: Do any of the citizenry have anything to bring before the High Council this eve?
John: *raises hand*
DaKaren: Ah, Lord Knighthawke?
John: It just occurred to me Chancellor, that I, for one, was not clear
John: on if our king and Ter Mur's Queen were located or not.
John: Lost track of that in the midst of explosions and sword crashings.
DaKaren: I have not heard news of the sovereigns...
DaKaren: I presume more could be learned from certain a Minister...
John: Thank you Chancellor.
DaKaren: *nods*
DaKaren: Anyone else?
DaKaren: Very well then...
DaKaren: I hereby adjourn the 470th session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: Go with the Virtues.
