Log of the High Council Meeting on 2/22/16

[Lord DaKaren]

Log of the 479th Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 479th session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: This will be one of our abbreviated sessions, at least in theory, as we have a lot to get through.
DaKaren: Xornia appears to be suffering from a form of schizophrenia, as two factions have appeared within the hive mind.
DaKaren: The Azure and he Vermilion factions claim to be studying conflict, with Sosaria being their test subjects.
DaKaren: Their methods, however, are less than scientific, and I find their supposed ignorance of the topic preposterous.
DaKaren: Regardless, Xornia is a powerful entity and must be dealt with in a manner that does not end with a new asteroid belt orbiting Re'en.
DaKaren: *sighs*
DaKaren: Let us get through reports so we can then vote on the three constitutional amendments and revised B.A.F. charter.
DaKaren: Grand Marshal Polynikes, would you please brief the Council on military matters in the Kingdom?

DaKaren: I was going to have you vote on an amendment to Article XIII of the Sixth Royal Constitution of the Kingdom of Britannia, however, that document has gone missing.
DaKaren: The original article failed to both protect High Council members from abusive litigation and describe how to remove the immunities of a High Council member should it actually be warranted.
DaKaren: The amendment resolves both those issues.
DaKaren: I will have it posted this evening, for a vote next session.
DaKaren: Now, once these changes are integrated into the constitution, I will be going over the entire document to catch any remaining errors or inconsistencies.
