[Lord DaKaren]

Log of the 498th Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 498th session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: Britannia continues to enjoy a peaceful holiday season, marred only briefly by a failed walrus-led assault on Vesper.
John: *looking around, as nervously as ever*
Dr Jerred DeSule: *mutters something about foul odors at home*
DaKaren: The Artisan Festival has successfully completed in Britain, Jhelom and Minoc. Moonglow shall play host next, followed soon after by New Magincia.
John: *eyeing the door and all the attendees*
DaKaren: I hope everyone is enjoying their gifts.
DaKaren: Two days remain in this election cycle, the polls close shortly before midnight on Wednesday.
John: *nodding with a sense of vague interest*
Dr Jerred DeSule: *shivers*
DaKaren: Moonglow, Trinsic, Vesper and Yew are the cities to watch. May the best candidates win!
Mr E: *rests forehead on desk*
Tanda: *stifles a yawn*
Kittie: *covers her nose, which has quite the keen senses to smell*
Guntur Kivlov: *wriggles slightly in the poorly crafted council seat*
DaKaren: Grand Marshal Polynikes, would you address the Council?
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you Chancellor and members of the High Council.
John: *watching his commanding officer, half an eye, at least, on the door*
Polynikes of Yew: I have no news of the Kingdom to report.
Polynikes of Yew: I do however have a personal announcement to make.
DaKaren: *nods*
Tanda: Looks to Polynikes
Mr E: *Looks at Polynikes*
Polynikes of Yew: Due to personal reasons, I will be resigning my post as Grand Marshal of the BAF
John: *looks to his Commanding Officer, stifling a gasp and unable to stifle a frown*
DaKaren: If that is your wish...
Guntur Kivlov: *frowns*
Polynikes of Yew: Effective immediately. I have served long and think that new blood might be
Polynikes of Yew: a benefit for the lands.
Kittie: Wha?! *blinks, looking to Poly*
Polynikes of Yew: These peaceful times seem to be a perfect point to step down.
Mr E: Are you stepping down or retiring Poly?
Dr Jerred DeSule: *forlorn expression*
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you for your support all these years.
Guntur Kivlov: Perhaps we can find a suitable replacement from the ranks of the JDF?
John: *looking to Mr. E curiously*
Tanda: Are you leaving Yew??
Polynikes of Yew: I plan on retiring to my Keep.
DaKaren: The B.A.F. can put forward a replacement, should they choose.
DaKaren: Councilor Kivlov, does the Township of Newcastle have anything to bring before the Council this eve?
Kittie: *just keeps blinking, looking down at her desk with a wide-eyed expression*
Guntur Kivlov: Well.
Tanda: *scratches kitties back gently*
Guntur Kivlov: We wish Polynikes out best of course.
Tanda: It'll be alright
Guntur Kivlov: and wish him well with his retirement.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: I'll be sure to send you over a barrel of plum wine
Kittie: *let's out a small purr, before looking to Tanda with a soft smile, then resting her furred head on her shoulder sadly*
Guntur Kivlov: We have no news of interest to the council however.
Guntur Kivlov: Thank you Chancellor.
Polynikes of Yew: *chuckles* I will.
Guntur Kivlov: *tips his hat politely*
DaKaren: Thank you, Councilor.

Tanda: new residents to fall back in line
Tanda: I do not suspect as we strive to open our borders
DaKaren: Have your newcomers been doing well?
