Tanda: It was with great sadness today, I was delivered by messenger
Tanda: the resignation of our spokesman Strider
Tanda: as well as another committee member
Tanda: Ioshus has offered to take the place as spokesman
Tanda: For those of you who are unaware
Tanda: the Public office
Tanda: of the High Council
Tanda: which floats among the ethers
Tanda: contains many bits of information
Tanda: of particular interest tonight
Tanda: is a rough draft of a decree
Tanda: I placed there
Tanda: I would like to have councilors take a gander at
Tanda: so it can be discussed
Tanda: and possibly voted on
Tanda: Ioshus do you have any information to share this evening?
Ioshus: I intend to get a finalized proposal ready for voting done by the end of tonights meeting.
Ioshus: That’s all.
Tanda: Thank you
Tanda: Are there any other items of Old business?
Tanda: *looks about*
Tanda: None?
Fearun: *raises his hand*
Duke Greenspan: Sanctum Viatas
Tanda: M'lord
Tanda: please come forward
Fearun: Tanda....as mentioned before the High Priest Meneldur has expressed his desire for the councilor
Fearun: Seat of Maginica within this council.
Fearun: You had spoken to Elros of this matter.
Fearun: In private as I believe...
Tanda: *Nods*
Fearun: Has there been any updates as a result of that discussion?
Tanda: The sticking point is the fact
Tanda: that listed in the Military's register
Tanda: of Enemies of the State
Tanda: The Temple of Mondain remains
Tanda: listed
Fearun: So then you still continue to maintain that we are enemies of the state?
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Polynikes of Yew: I have a question
Tanda: please
Polynikes of Yew: was the Temple removed as enemies of the state with the trial of Poet?
Fearun: That was our understanding...
Tanda: *thinks back*
Polynikes of Yew: and the cessation of hostile acts by the Temple.
Fearun: As I'm sure the Grand Marshall can attest
Ioshus: I'm not sure Poet ever completed his punishments...
Tanda: Poets trial well... got a bit sidetracked
Fearun: The temple has, at great risk, done everything it can to help this council.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: I do realize this
Tanda: and it maybe little more than a clerical oversight
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: but that is the reason I drag my feet
Fearun: And as I believe, I do think that Poet has paid his due, though more so than I'm sure he would
Fearun: have liked considering he is now dead
Tanda: Lord Fl'Gith
Fearun: and no more than Temple Lore...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: There 'ave been, for some time, certain clerical issues wi' the
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: maintenance o' the records wi'in the records 'all.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods in agreement*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Some through lack o' access, some through lack o' effort...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Some through lack o' the Historian gettin' off 'is lazy arse...
Polynikes of Yew: *hides a smile*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But, as I recall, the Temple twas exhonorated wi' Poet's trial.
Tanda: I had thought so too
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That said, I wasnae aware that the Council was 'andin' out votin'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: seats.
Tanda: but with it there in print
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: If so, I'd like a couple m'self.
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *winks at the Mondainite*
Tanda: I cannot condone his running for election
Fearun: *smirks at Ra'Dian*
Tanda: with the folks of Magincia
Tanda: as we could not swear him in
Tanda: legally
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *nods*
Fearun: Once we are sure this proceeding can get underway.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I'll twist the 'istorian's arm into makin' sure the right folks
Tanda: So til it was able to be cleared up I've been stallin'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'ave access later this eve.
Tanda: *Smiles*
Fearun: We will of course get you a register of citizens support for our claim.
Tanda: That will be most helpful
Tanda: Thank you M'lord
Tanda: Would be grand to have the Noble Isle
Fearun: Then I may inform Meneldur that once he acquires to necessary statements
Tanda: represented again
Fearun: He is free to continue pursuit of the Councilor seat with the Council then?
Tanda: *Nods*
Fearun: Very well...
Fearun: We shall begin immediately.
Tanda: Thank you M'lord
Fearun: *begins writing a long note*
Tanda: Any other items of Old business before we move on?
Fearun: *nods to Tanda and continues writing*
Tanda: Hearing none we will move on to new business and with that open the assembly floor
Tanda: Are there any with an item of new business?
Arrenathian: 2
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: m'lord Fl'Gith
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Good eve, esteemed High Council of Britannia.
Tanda: *looks back at Arrenathain puzzled*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I wish t' take a moment t' announce that the Cult o' the Azure Dragons
Tanda: *Smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: is fast at work in Felucca restorin' the Temple o' Nexchronosis.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: In addition, several acolytes an' wizards be workin' t' locate th'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Lord o' Dracona, who 'as gone missin'.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: To such end, I 'ave taken responsibility o' the Cult o' the Azure Dragons
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: as their 'igh Priest once more, an' shall, in addition t' all o'er work
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: o' the Cult, shall be workin' t' once more spread the word o' the
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Dragongods throughout Sosaria.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Dor'eg-l'nar vi'ert o'nerin Yl'.
Tanda: the fella you've lost track of is awful big
Tanda: to just have gotten misplaced
Tanda: any ideas
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Seven foot tall, an' quite strong.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles*
Tanda: on where we might help ya look?
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Polynikes of Yew: *mutters*
Polynikes of Yew: then we don’t need to look under anything for him
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: The only information we are certain of
Polynikes of Yew: *grins*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: is that 'e an' the Lady Talistra walked into the main worship 'all
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: in the Temple itself, an' neither 'as been seen since.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: The main worship 'all is quite... a mess... at present.
Fearun: *coughs loudly*
Fearun: Ra'Dian...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye?
Polynikes of Yew: *turns*
Fearun: The Temple has recently learned of this "Talistra"
Fearun: We have heard that her fate is unfortunate....
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *quirks an eyebrow*
Fearun: She was killed by Asimov....
Tanda: I thought he was dead too
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Then certainly 'e must also be takin' credit for the demise o' th' Enforcer?
Fearun: We have heard nothing about Enforcer...I'm sorry.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Curious.
Fearun: We only know of the fate of Talisitra...
Fearun: We may be able to use our resources to find out about Enforcer...if you wish.
Fearun: We can discuss it in detail after the meeting if you desire.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Any information would be useful, aye.
Fearun: *nods*
Fearun: After the meeting then...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Though I shall 'ave t' depart in a moment... perhaps I may seek
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: ye on the morrow?
Fearun: *nods*
Fearun: Of course.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Thank ye then.
Fearun: *nods slowly*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: An' my thanks t' any others who might proffer information on either
Tanda: I shall also see what those of my kind can manage scrying
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: the Lord Enforcer or Lady Talistra.
Tanda: Are there any other new items?
Arrenathian: *raises hand
Tanda: Councilor
Tanda: please come forward
Tanda: *glad you can cause a breeze*
Arrenathian: Yes I would like to call for a vote of no confidence in the council, and set up a council of warlords
Arrenathian: *grins*
Arrenathian: I jest with you
Aoibheal NicEsus: *arches a brow and finally looks interested*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks over at Arrenathain*
Aoibheal NicEsus: *shakes her head*
Ioshus: *blinks*
Ioshus: *shakes head*
Cecil: *Nods at CSI*
Mooshoo Hoo: laffs
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *grins a little*
Jazz Nemesis: *nods back*
Tanda: Have the councilors had time to study the decree?
Simon Godwyn: *nods*
SturmBrightblade: *nods to CSI*
Arrenathian: Hmmm
Arrenathian: Do you think we have actually changed anything?
Sachi: **the rat's lower lip trembles like she's going to cry**
Tanda: The decree in question addresses voting
Arrenathian: With the reforms?
Tanda: for the upcoming changes
Tanda: Well
Tanda: It is my hope
Tanda: we can establish a means
Tanda: by which the people
Tanda: *looks around the room*
Tanda: get a say
Tanda: n whether the reform proposal
Tanda: when put forth
Tanda: if it is accepted or rejected
Arrenathian: *nods*
Arrenathian: I hope that we have not lost our focus
Arrenathian: on what we are trying to accomplish
Arrenathian: that is my real fear
Tanda: Or does the Council wish to vote to accept or decline
Tanda: the changes?
Arrenathian: we will see when the vote is cast
Tanda: Our focus is to give the citizens of Britannia a voice
Arrenathian: We will continue on the path we have started.
Tanda: or at least that was my understanding
Arrenathian: *nods*
Tanda: by making representation
Tanda: more accessible
Arrenathian: Maybe we should ask our guest
Tanda: I tried last meeting
Arrenathian: what her government seeks
Tanda: ah
Aoibheal NicEsus: *looks at Arren and arches a brow*
Aoibheal NicEsus: *frowns*
Ioshus: I would prefer to keep tonight’s HCRC meet to the point.
Ioshus: We've had plenty of time for people to voice their opinions.
Arrenathian: I was just wondering what Aoibheal's officials seek in us>
Aoibheal NicEsus: I have nothing to add to this...
Aoibheal NicEsus: *glares pointedly at Arren*
Tanda: Twas my understanding from Imadii
Tanda: that Nujel'm wishes to remain Sovereign
Tanda: and a nation of their own
Aoibheal NicEsus: That would be correct, Lady Tanda
Tanda: I have attempted twice to ascertain
Tanda: if they wished to become part of this council
Tanda: and have been given a wait and see
Tanda: response
Tanda: as they are uncertain
Tanda: in our shall we say course
Arrenathian: *nods*
Tanda: and dependability right now
Aoibheal NicEsus: *removes parchment and a quill from her pack and begins to write*
Arrenathian: *smiles*
Tanda: I cannot say at this point I can blame them
Tanda: being a ship a drift
Tanda: is a little eerie
Mooshoo Hoo: *raises hand*
Tanda: Aye M'lord
Arrenathian: Nothing further from myself then.
Mooshoo Hoo: are there any cities other than yew or whispering winds nowadays in high council?
Mooshoo Hoo: that’s all i see ma'am
Tanda: As of yet now
Tanda: no
Tanda: and technically Simon
Tanda: represents Skara brae
Simon Godwyn: *nods*
Tanda: as there is no provision to allow Whispering Winds
Tanda: a seat
Tanda: in the Constitution
You see: a timber wolf
Tanda: Which is what the reform committee is addressing
Ioshus: *taps fingers impatiently*
Aoibheal NicEsus: *finishes her notes and rolls the parchment and replaces the items in her pack*
Tanda: Councilors how say you as to the Decree?
Tanda: Do we give the citizens the ability to ratify?
Arrenathian: Yes of course
Tanda: any proposals of the Reform committee
Tanda: to the constitution
Simon Godwyn: Aye
Tanda: Councilor Pabll
pabII: yes ma’am
Tanda: Very well
Tanda: then the Decree shall be posted more publically visible
Tanda: in preparation for the next steps
Arrenathian: Tanda i think as of right now
Arrenathian: the individual has more of a voice in their future this way then what we as a council could do for
Arrenathian: them
Tanda: That was my hope
Tanda: Any other items of new business?
Arrenathian: none
Tanda: *looks around*
Tanda: Seeing no hands
Tanda: next on the agenda
Tanda: Are announcements
Tanda: I only have one on behalf of the Council
Tanda: and that is the reform committee meets after this
Tanda: Anyone else with an announcement?
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Tanda: Yes M'lord
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you Chancellor
Polynikes of Yew: I just wanted to make the Council aware
