Log of the High Council Meeting on 3/07/16

[Lord DaKaren]

Log of the 480th Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 480th session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: For any who are unaware, the ridiculous conflict with Xornia has ended.
DaKaren: The Vermillion faction triumphed over the Azure faction...whatever that actually means for a hive-mind entity. *shrugs*
DaKaren: There are several Azure wisps imprisoned in special containment units in the possession of various citizens...a large percentage of which are sitting in this room. *looks around, arching a brow*
DaKaren: Be aware that a Vermillion wisp declared that containment "would fail in approximately 1,000 years." A surprisingly brief span of time.
DaKaren: Plan your wills accordingly.
DaKaren: Meteorites have been found across Sosaria in recent weeks and have been determined to be the remains of the planet Balema.
DaKaren: From what I have observed, fragments of the still-somewhat-habitable planet have moved through the ethereal void instead of normal space, thus allowing that world's demise to impact Sosaria.
DaKaren: A demise, we are told, is the result of a sorceress using the power of an artifact called the 'Ring of Chaos.'
DaKaren: There is said to be a 'Ring of Order' which will counter it, but its whereabouts are, at present, unknown.
DaKaren: Furthermore, I am told that a group of daemons calling themselves the "Dark Unknown" desires the Ring of Chaos for their own ends.
DaKaren: I somewhat doubt we would enjoy their use of such an artifact...those that survived that is.
DaKaren: Please try to keep it out of their claws.
DaKaren: Grand Marshal Polynikes, would you please brief the Council on military matters in the Kingdom?
Polynikes of Yew: Thankyou Chancellor, members of the Council.
Polynikes of Yew: Our lands have been peaceful with no attacks or major crimes reported.
DaKaren: Always nice.
Polynikes of Yew: Since we have a busy agenda that is all I have to report at this time.
DaKaren: *nods*
DaKaren: Thank you, Grand Marshal.
DaKaren: Councilor Kivlov, does the Township of Newcastle have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Guntur Kivlov: *ruffles some papers*

Guntur Kivlov: *frowns*
Guntur Kivlov: all is well.
Guntur Kivlov: Thank you chancellor.
DaKaren: *nods*
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.
DaKaren: Adjutant Knighthawke, does the city of Minoc have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
John: The city of Minoc is quiet, and continues to progress forward
John: in a very quiet, highland sort of way. We are talking about a few things
John: going forward. We have had a recent visit from the troubadours of UO radio, which
John: was highly successful.
John: I will leave it to Governor Kittie or Governor Warner or both to talk about
John: the mini-invasion of Britain fought off in part by Governor Kittie, myself, and
John: the gargoyle known as Lost and Seeking.
John: As noted my wife and I are talking about somethings going forward, which I will wait
John: until they come to fruition to talk about
John: And that is all from me, Chancellor.
DaKaren: Thank you, Adjutant Knighthawke.
DaKaren: Councilor Warner, does the City of Britain have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Dot Warner: While I was away this weekend Britain, Castle Blackthorn specifically, was attacked by a mad woman.
Dot Warner: I'm told that many brave citizens repelled the attack, for which I'm thankful.
Dot Warner: Governor Kittie has a better grasp on the details, so hopefully she will be able to tell the Council more. *smiles to Kittie*
Dot Warner: Other than that that, trade is still going strong and the citizens remain content.
Kittie: *peeks up from her doodle drawings of stick men, with a surprised look*
Dot Warner: That is all. Thank you.
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.

Kittie: in her attempt to take over Britannia, she was easily thwarted by the brave souls of Sosaria. *nods* And as for anyone making dock on Verity isle, I have heard nothing
Kittie: of the sort. Verity isle once again is peaceful. The characters returned to their own land and the people once again in merry spirits! *firmly nods*
Thom Jameison: *smirks*
Kittie: And, that's all I have, Chancellor.

DaKaren: Our last piece of official business tonight is an amendment to Article XIII of the Sixth Royal Constitution of the Kingdom of Britannia.
