195th meeting of the High Council (April 10, 2006)
Tanda: I would like to welcome you all to the High Council hall
Tanda: and meeting tonight
Tanda: Things within the realm
Tanda: have been unstable as of the last few months
Tanda: this is a sad fact of how things stand currently
Tanda: After last quarters meeting
Tanda: Meneldur
Tanda: of the Temple of Mondain
Tanda: now stands wanted on a charge of murder
Tanda: A second count of Treason
Tanda: I left this chamber last meeting
Tanda: and pondered
Tanda: the future of the realm
Tanda: of all we hold dear
Tanda: to be interrupted
Tanda: by personal tragedy
Tanda: I lost my little sister
Tanda: that eve
Tanda: taken my her own misguided
Tanda: quest for power
Tanda: and life eternal
Tanda: the trip for me back to the tasks at hand
Tanda: have lead me to a couple of thoughts to be pondered
Tanda: I would pose now in hindsight
Tanda: the Council remove Meneldur
Tanda: from his seat officially
Tanda: Secondly, however moot the point
Tanda: A decree or such be set forth
Tanda: to restrict eligibility
Tanda: for election
Tanda: that NO former Enemy of the State
Tanda: be allowed to run for office
Tanda: without first
Tanda: a joint judicial and Council Review
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: With all due respect, that wouldnae hae stopped the situation we face now at any length.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Counci... err... I'll nae sully that position...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: The Vile Meneldur would hae still been seated at any length.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: And, we should 'ave faith in justice that a removed enemy might one day be a friend,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: an' the sins o' the father, so on an' so forth...
Tanda: *Nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'owe'er, this Council CERTAINLY should up'old the tenents set forth by Lord British,
Tanda: *Nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: an' thus, I would alternately propose that the Temple o' Mondain, an' all those who worship 'im...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: An' by worship, I dinnae mean simple study o' 'is ways, but those who worship 'im as a false
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: idol be barred fore'er from the service o' these lands.
Tanda: *Smiles*
Tanda: Aye that is where I was headed next
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: There be a freedom t' religion, but time an' again, the Mondainites 'ave shown that they
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: want nothin' but chaos an' destruction for Britannia, an' I say we make a permanent stroke through
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: their names.
Tanda: I would agree
Tanda: I am all for religious freedom
Tanda: but Mondain's followers
Tanda: fly in the face
Tanda: of all Lord British held dear
Tanda: in this case the Sins of the Father
Tanda: are not one's you can wash away
Tanda: without leaving his service
Tanda: Any thoughts from the Assembly?
Tanda: Most of the faces I see here
Tanda: are friends an acquaintances
Tanda: from various towns
Tanda: many I know on a personal level
Tanda: were uneasy with Meneldur's seat
Tanda: here
Tanda: to begin with
Leon DeLucsil: *looks exhausted and disheveled*
Tanda: How say you about banning the Temple of Mondain
Tanda: and all other Mondainites
Tanda: from seeking or entering service to Britannia?
Tanda: *looks about*
Tanda: I have nae a Councilor present
Tanda: I seek the opinion of Britannia's citizens
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Polynikes of Yew: I have to agree that prohibiting active followers of Mondain from service is wise
Polynikes of Yew: As far as religious freedom
Polynikes of Yew: I understand that people are free
Polynikes of Yew: to worship as they see fit
Polynikes of Yew: as long as they follow the laws of the land
Polynikes of Yew: We are only speaking of prohibiting them from serving
Drakkencor Duras: *frowns*
Polynikes of Yew: in either the Military or the government
Polynikes of Yew: is that correct?
Tanda: at this point
Polynikes of Yew: Or are we taking more sweeping action?
Tanda: unless the public views them like Vampires
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: an abomination
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: To take wider action would, indeed, take freedom an' turn it int' somethin' else.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I dinnae believe that we step further.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods ion agreement*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But we also must remember that it is Mondain 'imself who, as it is said,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: got us int' this mess in th' first place.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I dinnae think protectin' the government o' the land that brought 'is downfall falls outside
Tanda: *Nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: o' the individual rights o' th' peoples.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: For remember, e'en those Mondainites who claim peaceful study
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: tell tales o' Mondain's father, an' 'ow this land is truly to be ruled by Mondain.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: O' course, they also, apparently, 'avenae gotten the memo that Mondain the Sorcerer
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: is long dead an' buried.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That be all.
Tanda: That is where for me the subject gets fuzzy
Tanda: We have prohibited Vampires by decree
Tanda: for their abominations
Tanda: by forbidding them by law to feed
Tanda: Does not Mondain's teachings in fact
Tanda: whether peacefully studied or not
Tanda: Teach Treasonous thought?
Tanda: or Doctrine?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: There be a severe difference, though I leave it much t' the vampires that their current situation
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: be little better than it is at present...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'owe'er, vampirism is akin to a disease... one wi'out any easy cure that we are aware o'.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Very few 'ave recovered once tainted.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Mondain's teachin's, while certainly not in our favor, are 'ard t' call treason until they go beyond
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: mere words.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: *Smiles*
Tanda: aye my own thoughts come back to haunt me
Tanda: I said the same things about Lore
Tanda: years back
Tanda: *Giggles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles*
Tanda: point taken
Tanda: no witch hunt
Tanda: and burning Mondainites at the stake
Tanda: for just being
Tanda: Well perhaps just one
Tanda: *Smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *frowns and looks at his robe*
Tanda: if'n give the chance
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Tis a shame... we could use a good Mondainite 'unt.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs*
Tanda: Aye I expect that will come
Tanda: but to seek justice
Tanda: So Justicar Fl'Gith
Tanda: I shall have the proposal in print
Tanda: if no councilors are present
Tanda: is it legal to do a public referendum?
Kachine: *slowly lifts her hand*
Tanda: *points and nods to the lass in the gray shirt*
Tanda: Please
Tanda: come forth
Kachine: *rises slowly*
Kachine: What of those who choose to renounce their faith?
Kachine: Allegiances, after all, die as surely as the winds change.
Kachine: Often more swiftly.
Tanda: Tis why no wording seeking death or imprisonment for believers
Kachine: *watches calmly*
Tanda: A change of heart can come about
Tanda: I am nae certain though
Tanda: about a former Mondainite serving?
Kachine: I ask in regards to your proposal, will those who've renounced be subject to the ruling?
Kachine: *nods*
Kachine: Just a point for consideration, nothing more.
Tanda: Tis what lead to this mess with the "Priest"
Ujio the Monk: *raises an eyebrow at Lady Oona*
Tanda: the Temple has changed
Kachine: *nods slowly*
Tanda: we have given up our evil ways
Tanda: blah blah blah
Kachine: *smiles slightly*
Kachine: Thank you, miss.
Kachine: And dear-
Tanda: *Nods*
Kachine: Regarding your loss, my condolences.
Tanda: Your most welcome
Tanda: Thank you
Kachine: Find comfort that her spirit still dances.
Kachine: And the dance-
Kachine: Is ..more than the steps of one.
Kachine: *bows her head gently*
Alexander: *looks about the room*
Tanda: I have nothing specific on this agenda
Tanda: beyond this issue
Tanda: we wait
Leon DeLucsil: *raises hand*
Tanda: *M'lord DeLucsil*

Leon DeLucsil: and he has stolen my wife....from my very arms
Leon DeLucsil: *raises vocie as he speaks*
Leon DeLucsil: He also has my daughter...
Leon DeLucsil: *looks down*
Oona: Oh my Gods! Page is missing now?
Leon DeLucsil: I'm on my last nerve
Leon DeLucsil: I beg you all to look for anything suspicious
Leon DeLucsil: a man in a dark cloak
Leon DeLucsil: with a scar on his chin

Rand al'Thor: *sighs*
Rand al'Thor: *puts a hand on his shoulder*
Tanda: *kneels*
Oona: *Sighs with a shakes of her head*
Leon DeLucsil: the blood...the bruises...
Tanda: what else did you see?
Tanda: beyond them
Leon DeLucsil: two rooms
Tanda: the room?
Leon DeLucsil: Nothing
Tanda: yes
Tanda: wood floors? stone?
Leon DeLucsil: I have someone tracking them.....but...but
Tanda: smells that came to you?
Leon DeLucsil: I’m scared they wont make it in time..
Leon DeLucsil: nothing else
Leon DeLucsil: I saw him briefly
Leon DeLucsil: and my wife and child
Tanda: Sounds?
Tanda: water running?
Tanda: the wind?
Tanda: animal noises?
Tanda: anything
Leon DeLucsil: nothing...
Leon DeLucsil: just their moans of anguish
Leon DeLucsil: *sobs*
Tanda: *frowns*
Leon DeLucsil: I..i have to go now..i have to keep looking
Leon DeLucsil: *stands*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: *slowly stands*
Oona: *Looks at the door*
Rand al'Thor: *watches him go*
Rand al'Thor: Light be with him..
Tanda: *sighs slowly*
Tanda: sometimes being gifted with sight
Tanda: is more a curse
Oona: *glances up with a scowl*
Tanda: Please everyone
Tanda: do keep your eyes and ears
Tanda: focused
Tanda: sometimes little things such as gossip at the market
Tanda: or bank
Tanda: Tavern

Polynikes of Yew: of the Security Council
Polynikes of Yew: to discuss
Polynikes of Yew: come current situations
Tanda: *Nods*
Sereg'wethrin: *grins and laughs a bit*
Polynikes of Yew: Nothing to discuss at a public meeting.
Tanda: Understood
Kachine: *lifts a hand*
Tanda: One moment lass
Kachine: *nods slowly*
Tanda: The Council felt this task was well
Tanda: perhaps ill fitted in its description
Tanda: for what they felt should be promoted
Tanda: Once renovations are done I should be able to return your funds
Treybyre Heart: : Nods
Tanda: M'lady
Treybyre Heart: *Nods*
Tanda: you had a question or comment?
Kachine: *rises slowly*
Kachine: Forgive my ignorance on the matter, please.
Kachine: But what is the Council's official position on the Magincia situation?
Tanda: Magincia belongs as part of the Kingdom of Britannia
Tanda: or Realm of Britannia
Tanda: to secede or threat to is Treason

Alexander: *looks about the room*
Tanda: I realize
Tanda: this betrayal of Britannia
Tanda: and the Council
Tanda: has stuck all in some manner
Tanda: and will continue to
Tanda: As the situation moves forward the likelihood is
Tanda: it will draw upon many of us
Tanda: in even more taxing manners
Note to self: he killed Alex and has tried or is trying to Secede

Tanda: with the Virtues in our hearts
Tanda: we shall find a means to overcome
Seit VanTulsmit: *whispers*
Polynikes of Yew: *motions to Militia*

Tanda: I have faith in the strength
Tanda: and nobility

Leshyani Rianne: This Magincia situation concerns me
Bloodcryer: *admires the new speaker*
Kachine: *watches the women intently*
Leshyani Rianne: The shipping lanes of Britannia and many other Nations are haphazardly
Leshyani Rianne: Controlled by pirates
Leshyani Rianne: Mondainites and
Leshyani Rianne: worse... drow
Leshyani Rianne: These are indeed dark times
You see: a mountain goat
Leshyani Rianne: And i count zero Councilors that sit this eve..
Leshyani Rianne: Not one has shown up to represent their interests in the welfare of the country
Leshyani Rianne: What hope does one have that our goods will make it to market in Britannian ports fairly
Sereg'wethrin: Grey will soon be like me.
Leshyani Rianne: And with out illegal tariffs?
Sereg'wethrin: Good night my dear.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Leshyani Rianne: *takes a seat*
Tanda: *nods Justicar Fl'Gith then the Grand Marshall*
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I share yer concerns, m'lady Leshyani.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I dinnae what th' Grand Marshall be about t' say, but at present, the only advice I might
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: lend would be t' avoid shipments into Magincia until we are better in control o'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: the situation.
Leshyani Rianne: Ahh, I was not speaking of Magincia
Leshyani Rianne: But of any port on the sea that travels near Magincia
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Though I know of no current threat t' other Britannian ports.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Unless there be current attacks launched from Magincia t' intercept other isles.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But I'll leave that t' the Grand Marshall.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *nods to Polynikes*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: Polynike
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you Justicar
Polynikes of Yew: I appreciate the Ambassadors concern
Polynikes of Yew: although it is unusual
Polynikes of Yew: coming from a city
Polynikes of Yew: that has spurned our aid for defense
Polynikes of Yew: *looks to Leshyani*
Polynikes of Yew: Do I take this to mean
Polynikes of Yew: that Nujel’m
Polynikes of Yew: is reconsidering
Polynikes of Yew: their
Polynikes of Yew: position
Polynikes of Yew: on not wanting
Polynikes of Yew: protection
Polynikes of Yew: from the High Council?
Polynikes of Yew: hmmm
Polynikes of Yew: no answer?
Leshyani Rianne: Not necessarily.. just that Our goods traveling to be sold in yer markets
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Polynikes of Yew: well unless
Leshyani Rianne: Have a high rate of being pilfered.. under this new Magincian League
Polynikes of Yew: you have more information
Polynikes of Yew: on planned invasions of our ports and lands
Polynikes of Yew: *raises eyebrow and smirks*
Polynikes of Yew: I think we can conclude that we face the usual suspects and will deal with accordingly
Polynikes of Yew: But thank you
Polynikes of Yew: thank you for your concern
Polynikes of Yew: I mean
Polynikes of Yew: how many months
Polynikes of Yew: since we have had the pleasure
Polynikes of Yew: of your presence
Polynikes of Yew: *grins*
Polynikes of Yew: *turns*
Polynikes of Yew: That is all I have to say in this forum
Tanda: *Nods*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods to Tanda*
Tanda: Thank you M'lord
Leshyani Rianne: Your empty council says it for yew.
Polynikes of Yew: We should discuss my plans in a more secure setting
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: With all due respect Ambassador
Tanda: perhaps being here at this meeting
Polynikes of Yew: no respect needed mutters
Tanda: was not in the best interest
Leshyani Rianne: *looks shocked*
Tanda: of their respected municipalities
Tanda: at the moment
Tanda: I do appreciate
Tanda: the dilemma
Tanda: Nujel'm is in
Alexander: *looks at Leon*
Tanda: we shall seek to check our ports
Leonidas: *stands*
Tanda: as we always do
Tanda: safety of your ships at sea
Tanda: I am afraid is an internal matter
Tanda: for your government
Tanda: and Militia
Leshyani Rianne: Not since we had already received payment on the goods..
Rose: laughs
Leshyani Rianne: *smirks*
Rose: *coughs*
Rose: *sputters coughs sputters*
Tanda: Then I suggest you speak with the party importing
Rose: *clears her throat*
Kachine: A threat to commerce between the cities is a valid concern for all involved.
Tanda: and put them in touch here
Tanda: I only have the ability to deal with our own merchants
Tanda: not their government
Tanda: or security shipboard
Tanda: Are the raids happening at port? or at sea?
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Kachine: *lifts a hand*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Polynikes of Yew: Please do not misunderstand me
Tanda: *nods the Lass will be next*
Leon DeLucsil: *raises hand*
Polynikes of Yew: If this is happening in our territorial waters
Polynikes of Yew: and it is reported to my command
Tanda: *Leon after Kachine*
Polynikes of Yew: we will make every effort to apprehend those guilty
Polynikes of Yew: If any merchant has concerns
Polynikes of Yew: along a certain trade route we can make arrangements to protect shipments
Polynikes of Yew: caravans
Polynikes of Yew: and convoys can be arranged if so needed.
Leon DeLucsil: *fidgets*
Polynikes of Yew: At this point no Merchants have reported the troubles that have been described tonight
Polynikes of Yew: Please ask that they inform us and we shall take steps to prosecute those guilty
Polynikes of Yew: and provide additional protection
Polynikes of Yew: while we may not
Polynikes of Yew: have Councilors
Polynikes of Yew: here tonight
Tanda: *look to my side*
Polynikes of Yew: My men are on duty and ready to serve.
Polynikes of Yew: That is all.
Tanda: M'lady Kachine
Kachine: *rises*
Kachine: A threat to commerce between the cities is a valid concern for all involved.
Kachine: As we've established, after all,
Kachine: Magincia is crown territory and thus to be defended by the crown.
Kachine: Any actions being launched from there-
Kachine: *pauses*
Kachine: I believe, forgive me, Leshyani?
Kachine: What she was asking for was deliberate and swift action against those-
Kachine: currently occupying Magincia.
Kachine: As opposed to additional protections on the island she speaks for.
Kachine: *bows her head once*
Tanda: Leon
Leon DeLucsil: Just a question
Leon DeLucsil: Has anyone...anyone at all seen Koale this evening?
Tanda: He was here briefly
Leon DeLucsil: *eyes narrow slightly*
Tanda: ran out the door
Leon DeLucsil: ...
Leon DeLucsil: Any direction?
Polynikes of Yew: *motions to Rand and looks at Leon*
Tanda: well only one direction out of here
Rand al'Thor: *nods*
Tanda: where after leaving this building no
Rand al'Thor: *motions to Leon*
Tanda: I know not
Leon DeLucsil: *nods*
Tanda: As to your comment M'lady Kachine
Tanda: I do appreciate that
Kachine: *nods her head, calmly*
Tanda: Magincia once or twice has laid in the hands of Leshyani
Tanda: either on this Council
Tanda: or through her Sisterhood
Tanda: haste is needed, but no without thought
Tanda: the chessboard
Tanda: is not a thing to be rushed
Kachine: *nods*
Tanda: Any other items tonight
Tanda: *looks to the Councilors*
Kimber: I would just like to apologize for being late.
Bloodcryer: as would I
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Tanda: Tis understandable
Tanda: times like these often require
Tanda: attention to details elsewhere
Tanda: Any other items?
Treybyre Heart: Hail Op Cell
Tanda: Seeing no hands
Bloodcryer: please take your mount outside sir
Tanda: Meeting adjourned
Tanda: Grand Marshall would you like to join me upstairs?
Tanda: Justicar Fl'Gith
Tanda: M'lady?
Kachine: *smiles, very slightly, but warmly*
Kachine: Are there to be rites of mourning?
Kachine: I should like to come, permitting.
Tanda: not much to hold rites over
Kachine: *nods calmly*
Tanda: I did offer some prayers in circle
Tanda: with what family I have left
Kachine: If you wish for them at a later date, I would be glad to assist.
Kachine: *nods*
Tanda: Will be of no comfort to her soul
Kachine: Very well.
Tanda: for it has been taken from her body
Tanda: before passing
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Good t' see ye, m'lady.
Kachine: *nods slowly*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I 'ope all is well in Nujel'm.
Kachine: We shall speak of it later, then, perhaps.
Leshyani Rianne: Well..
Kachine: I do not wish to keep you from matters of state.
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: perhaps
Tanda: thank you
Leshyani Rianne: Its hard these days..
Kachine: Good evening.
Leshyani Rianne: No new settlers..
Tanda: Blessed Be
Leshyani Rianne: Too dusty they say.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye...
Tanda: M'lord
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: An' the 'eat can be rough as well.
Leshyani Rianne: *nods*
Op Cell: M’lady
Tanda: the meeting has adjourned
*Edit Note: This meeting had two posts following that are copied and pasted below.
Emperor Tenebrous posted the folloing day after the Transcripts:
Sereg'Wetherin....
Many moons since that title has been spoken.
Lance and Tassada'r were beholden to that name...
Worlds will spin.
Histories will admire, reflect and sometimes quickly dismiss the contributions of those who bear titles of revererence, no matter which side of the scale thier values hold...
The problem with gods...
...we seldom forget.
Sereg'wethrin Posted the day following Tenebrous saying:
I even stir the gods do I?
Nothing more was posted.

Polynikes of Yew: We are only speaking of prohibiting them from serving
Drakkencor Duras: *frowns*
Polynikes of Yew: in either the Military or the government
Polynikes of Yew: is that correct?
Tanda: at this point
Polynikes of Yew: Or are we taking more sweeping action?
Tanda: unless the public views them like Vampires
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: an abomination
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: To take wider action would, indeed, take freedom an' turn it int' somethin' else.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I dinnae believe that we step further.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods ion agreement*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But we also must remember that it is Mondain 'imself who, as it is said,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: got us int' this mess in th' first place.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I dinnae think protectin' the government o' the land that brought 'is downfall falls outside
Tanda: *Nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: o' the individual rights o' th' peoples.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: For remember, e'en those Mondainites who claim peaceful study
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: tell tales o' Mondain's father, an' 'ow this land is truly to be ruled by Mondain.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: O' course, they also, apparently, 'avenae gotten the memo that Mondain the Sorcerer
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: is long dead an' buried.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That be all.
Tanda: That is where for me the subject gets fuzzy
Tanda: We have prohibited Vampires by decree
Tanda: for their abominations
Tanda: by forbidding them by law to feed
Tanda: Does not Mondain's teachings in fact
Tanda: whether peacefully studied or not
Tanda: Teach Treasonous thought?
Tanda: or Doctrine?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: There be a severe difference, though I leave it much t' the vampires that their current situation
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: be little better than it is at present...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'owe'er, vampirism is akin to a disease... one wi'out any easy cure that we are aware o'.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Very few 'ave recovered once tainted.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Mondain's teachin's, while certainly not in our favor, are 'ard t' call treason until they go beyond
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: mere words.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: *Smiles*
Tanda: aye my own thoughts come back to haunt me
Tanda: I said the same things about Lore
Tanda: years back
Tanda: *Giggles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles*
Tanda: point taken
Tanda: no witch hunt
Tanda: and burning Mondainites at the stake
Tanda: for just being
Tanda: Well perhaps just one
Tanda: *Smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *frowns and looks at his robe*
Tanda: if'n give the chance
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Tis a shame... we could use a good Mondainite 'unt.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs*
Tanda: Aye I expect that will come
Tanda: but to seek justice
Tanda: So Justicar Fl'Gith
Tanda: I shall have the proposal in print
Tanda: if no councilors are present
Tanda: is it legal to do a public referendum?
Kachine: *slowly lifts her hand*
Tanda: *points and nods to the lass in the gray shirt*
Tanda: Please
Tanda: come forth
Kachine: *rises slowly*
Kachine: What of those who choose to renounce their faith?
Kachine: Allegiances, after all, die as surely as the winds change.
Kachine: Often more swiftly.
Tanda: Tis why no wording seeking death or imprisonment for believers
Kachine: *watches calmly*
Tanda: A change of heart can come about
Tanda: I am nae certain though
Tanda: about a former Mondainite serving?
Kachine: I ask in regards to your proposal, will those who've renounced be subject to the ruling?
Kachine: *nods*
Kachine: Just a point for consideration, nothing more.
Tanda: Tis what lead to this mess with the "Priest"
Ujio the Monk: *raises an eyebrow at Lady Oona*
Tanda: the Temple has changed
Kachine: *nods slowly*
Tanda: we have given up our evil ways
Tanda: blah blah blah
Kachine: *smiles slightly*
Kachine: Thank you, miss.
Kachine: And dear-
Tanda: *Nods*
Kachine: Regarding your loss, my condolences.
Tanda: Your most welcome
Tanda: Thank you
Kachine: Find comfort that her spirit still dances.
Kachine: And the dance-
Kachine: Is ..more than the steps of one.
Kachine: *bows her head gently*
Alexander: *looks about the room*
Tanda: I have nothing specific on this agenda
Tanda: beyond this issue
Tanda: we wait
Leon DeLucsil: *raises hand*
Tanda: *M'lord DeLucsil*
Leon DeLucsil: *sighs deeply*
Leon DeLucsil: There is a evil, bastard of a man, with a scar on his chin
Leon DeLucsil: and he has stolen my wife....from my very arms
Leon DeLucsil: *raises vocie as he speaks*
Leon DeLucsil: He also has my daughter...
Leon DeLucsil: *looks down*
Oona: Oh my Gods! Page is missing now?
Leon DeLucsil: I'm on my last nerve
Leon DeLucsil: I beg you all to look for anything suspicious
Leon DeLucsil: a man in a dark cloak
Leon DeLucsil: with a scar on his chin

Leon DeLucsil: beating them
Leon DeLucsil: she carries my child
Rand al'Thor: *sighs*
Rand al'Thor: *puts a hand on his shoulder*
Tanda: *kneels*
Oona: *Sighs with a shakes of her head*
Leon DeLucsil: the blood...the bruises...
Tanda: what else did you see?
Tanda: beyond them
Leon DeLucsil: two rooms
Tanda: the room?
Leon DeLucsil: Nothing
Tanda: yes
Tanda: wood floors? stone?
Leon DeLucsil: I have someone tracking them.....but...but
Tanda: smells that came to you?
Leon DeLucsil: I’m scared they wont make it in time..
Leon DeLucsil: nothing else
Leon DeLucsil: I saw him briefly
Leon DeLucsil: and my wife and child
Tanda: Sounds?
Tanda: water running?
Tanda: the wind?
Tanda: animal noises?
Tanda: anything
Leon DeLucsil: nothing...
Leon DeLucsil: just their moans of anguish
Leon DeLucsil: *sobs*
Tanda: *frowns*
Leon DeLucsil: I..i have to go now..i have to keep looking
Leon DeLucsil: *stands*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: *slowly stands*
Oona: *Looks at the door*
Rand al'Thor: *watches him go*
Rand al'Thor: Light be with him..
Tanda: *sighs slowly*
Tanda: sometimes being gifted with sight
Tanda: is more a curse
Oona: *glances up with a scowl*
Tanda: Please everyone
Tanda: do keep your eyes and ears
Tanda: focused
Tanda: sometimes little things such as gossip at the market
Tanda: or bank
Tanda: Tavern
Tanda: can lead folks to the right place
Sereg'wethrin: *sniffs the back of Oona's neck*

Tanda: to find an avatar of virtue
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Sereg'wethrin: *grins*
Polynikes of Yew: I would just ask for a meeting
Polynikes of Yew: at the earliest time
Polynikes of Yew: of the Security Council
Polynikes of Yew: to discuss
Polynikes of Yew: come current situations
Tanda: *Nods*
Sereg'wethrin: *grins and laughs a bit*
Polynikes of Yew: Nothing to discuss at a public meeting.
Tanda: Understood
Kachine: *lifts a hand*
Tanda: One moment lass
Kachine: *nods slowly*
Tanda: The Council felt this task was well
Tanda: perhaps ill fitted in its description
Tanda: for what they felt should be promoted
Tanda: Once renovations are done I should be able to return your funds
Treybyre Heart: : Nods
Tanda: M'lady
Treybyre Heart: *Nods*
Tanda: you had a question or comment?
Kachine: *rises slowly*
Kachine: Forgive my ignorance on the matter, please.
Kachine: But what is the Council's official position on the Magincia situation?
Tanda: Magincia belongs as part of the Kingdom of Britannia
Tanda: or Realm of Britannia
Tanda: to secede or threat to is Treason
Kachine: *nods calmly*
Tanda: what action will be taken
Tanda: I am not at liberty to discuss
Tanda: here
Kachine: Of course.
Kachine: Thank you kindly.
Tanda: your welcome
Tanda: Anyone else with an item?
Alexander: *looks about the room*
Tanda: I realize
Tanda: this betrayal of Britannia
Tanda: and the Council
Tanda: has stuck all in some manner
Tanda: and will continue to
Tanda: As the situation moves forward the likelihood is
Tanda: it will draw upon many of us
Tanda: in even more taxing manners
Note to self: he killed Alex and has tried or is trying to Secede
Tanda: both physically and mentally
Tanda: United
Tanda: with the Virtues in our hearts
Tanda: we shall find a means to overcome
Seit VanTulsmit: *whispers*
Polynikes of Yew: *motions to Militia*
Sereg'wethrin: *looks around*
Tanda: I have faith in the strength
Tanda: and nobility
Tanda: of even the most humble citizen

Leshyani Rianne: This Magincia situation concerns me
Bloodcryer: *admires the new speaker*
Kachine: *watches the women intently*
Leshyani Rianne: The shipping lanes of Britannia and many other Nations are haphazardly
Leshyani Rianne: Controlled by pirates
Leshyani Rianne: Mondainites and
Leshyani Rianne: worse... drow
Leshyani Rianne: These are indeed dark times
You see: a mountain goat
Leshyani Rianne: And i count zero Councilors that sit this eve..
Leshyani Rianne: Not one has shown up to represent their interests in the welfare of the country
Leshyani Rianne: What hope does one have that our goods will make it to market in Britannian ports fairly
Sereg'wethrin: Grey will soon be like me.
Leshyani Rianne: And with out illegal tariffs?
Sereg'wethrin: Good night my dear.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Leshyani Rianne: *takes a seat*
Tanda: *nods Justicar Fl'Gith then the Grand Marshall*
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I share yer concerns, m'lady Leshyani.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I dinnae what th' Grand Marshall be about t' say, but at present, the only advice I might
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: lend would be t' avoid shipments into Magincia until we are better in control o'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: the situation.
Leshyani Rianne: Ahh, I was not speaking of Magincia
Leshyani Rianne: But of any port on the sea that travels near Magincia
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Though I know of no current threat t' other Britannian ports.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Unless there be current attacks launched from Magincia t' intercept other isles.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But I'll leave that t' the Grand Marshall.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *nods to Polynikes*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: Polynike
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you Justicar
Polynikes of Yew: I appreciate the Ambassadors concern
Polynikes of Yew: although it is unusual
Polynikes of Yew: coming from a city
Polynikes of Yew: that has spurned our aid for defense
Polynikes of Yew: *looks to Leshyani*
Polynikes of Yew: Do I take this to mean
Polynikes of Yew: that Nujel’m
Polynikes of Yew: is reconsidering
Polynikes of Yew: their
Polynikes of Yew: position
Polynikes of Yew: on not wanting
Polynikes of Yew: protection
Polynikes of Yew: from the High Council?
Polynikes of Yew: hmmm
Polynikes of Yew: no answer?
Leshyani Rianne: Not necessarily.. just that Our goods traveling to be sold in yer markets
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Polynikes of Yew: well unless
Leshyani Rianne: Have a high rate of being pilfered.. under this new Magincian League
Polynikes of Yew: you have more information
Polynikes of Yew: on planned invasions of our ports and lands
Polynikes of Yew: *raises eyebrow and smirks*
Polynikes of Yew: I think we can conclude that we face the usual suspects and will deal with accordingly
Polynikes of Yew: But thank you
Polynikes of Yew: thank you for your concern
Polynikes of Yew: I mean
Polynikes of Yew: how many months
Polynikes of Yew: since we have had the pleasure
Polynikes of Yew: of your presence
Polynikes of Yew: *grins*
Polynikes of Yew: *turns*
Polynikes of Yew: That is all I have to say in this forum
Tanda: *Nods*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods to Tanda*
Tanda: Thank you M'lord
Leshyani Rianne: Your empty council says it for yew.
Polynikes of Yew: We should discuss my plans in a more secure setting
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: With all due respect Ambassador
Tanda: perhaps being here at this meeting
Polynikes of Yew: no respect needed mutters
Tanda: was not in the best interest
Leshyani Rianne: *looks shocked*
Tanda: of their respected municipalities
Tanda: at the moment
Tanda: I do appreciate
Tanda: the dilemma
Tanda: Nujel'm is in
Alexander: *looks at Leon*
Tanda: we shall seek to check our ports
Leonidas: *stands*
Tanda: as we always do
Tanda: safety of your ships at sea
Tanda: I am afraid is an internal matter
Tanda: for your government
Tanda: and Militia
Leshyani Rianne: Not since we had already received payment on the goods..
Rose: laughs
Leshyani Rianne: *smirks*
Rose: *coughs*
Rose: *sputters coughs sputters*
Tanda: Then I suggest you speak with the party importing
Rose: *clears her throat*
Kachine: A threat to commerce between the cities is a valid concern for all involved.
Tanda: and put them in touch here
Tanda: I only have the ability to deal with our own merchants
Tanda: not their government
Tanda: or security shipboard
Tanda: Are the raids happening at port? or at sea?
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Kachine: *lifts a hand*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Polynikes of Yew: Please do not misunderstand me
Tanda: *nods the Lass will be next*
Leon DeLucsil: *raises hand*
Polynikes of Yew: If this is happening in our territorial waters
Polynikes of Yew: and it is reported to my command
Tanda: *Leon after Kachine*
Polynikes of Yew: we will make every effort to apprehend those guilty
Polynikes of Yew: If any merchant has concerns
Polynikes of Yew: along a certain trade route we can make arrangements to protect shipments
Polynikes of Yew: caravans
Polynikes of Yew: and convoys can be arranged if so needed.
Leon DeLucsil: *fidgets*
Polynikes of Yew: At this point no Merchants have reported the troubles that have been described tonight
Polynikes of Yew: Please ask that they inform us and we shall take steps to prosecute those guilty
Polynikes of Yew: and provide additional protection
Polynikes of Yew: while we may not
Polynikes of Yew: have Councilors
Polynikes of Yew: here tonight
Tanda: *look to my side*
Polynikes of Yew: My men are on duty and ready to serve.
Polynikes of Yew: That is all.
Tanda: M'lady Kachine
Kachine: *rises*
Kachine: A threat to commerce between the cities is a valid concern for all involved.
Kachine: As we've established, after all,
Kachine: Magincia is crown territory and thus to be defended by the crown.
Kachine: Any actions being launched from there-
Kachine: *pauses*
Kachine: I believe, forgive me, Leshyani?
Kachine: What she was asking for was deliberate and swift action against those-
Kachine: currently occupying Magincia.
Kachine: As opposed to additional protections on the island she speaks for.
Kachine: *bows her head once*
Tanda: Leon
Leon DeLucsil: Just a question
Leon DeLucsil: Has anyone...anyone at all seen Koale this evening?
Tanda: He was here briefly
Leon DeLucsil: *eyes narrow slightly*
Tanda: ran out the door
Leon DeLucsil: ...

Tanda: I know not
Leon DeLucsil: *nods*
Tanda: As to your comment M'lady Kachine
Tanda: I do appreciate that
Kachine: *nods her head, calmly*
Tanda: Magincia once or twice has laid in the hands of Leshyani
Tanda: either on this Council
Tanda: or through her Sisterhood
Tanda: haste is needed, but no without thought
Tanda: the chessboard
Tanda: is not a thing to be rushed
Kachine: *nods*
Tanda: Any other items tonight
Tanda: *looks to the Councilors*
Kimber: I would just like to apologize for being late.
Bloodcryer: as would I
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Tanda: Tis understandable
Tanda: times like these often require
Tanda: attention to details elsewhere
Tanda: Any other items?
Treybyre Heart: Hail Op Cell
Tanda: Seeing no hands
Bloodcryer: please take your mount outside sir
Tanda: Meeting adjourned
Tanda: Grand Marshall would you like to join me upstairs?
Tanda: Justicar Fl'Gith
Tanda: M'lady?
Kachine: *smiles, very slightly, but warmly*
Kachine: Are there to be rites of mourning?
Kachine: I should like to come, permitting.
Tanda: not much to hold rites over
Kachine: *nods calmly*
Tanda: I did offer some prayers in circle
Tanda: with what family I have left
Kachine: If you wish for them at a later date, I would be glad to assist.
Kachine: *nods*
Tanda: Will be of no comfort to her soul
Kachine: Very well.
Tanda: for it has been taken from her body
Tanda: before passing
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Good t' see ye, m'lady.
Kachine: *nods slowly*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I 'ope all is well in Nujel'm.

Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: An' the 'eat can be rough as well.
Leshyani Rianne: *nods*
Op Cell: M’lady
Tanda: the meeting has adjourned
*Edit Note: This meeting had two posts following that are copied and pasted below.
Emperor Tenebrous posted the folloing day after the Transcripts:
Sereg'Wetherin....
Many moons since that title has been spoken.
Lance and Tassada'r were beholden to that name...
Worlds will spin.
Histories will admire, reflect and sometimes quickly dismiss the contributions of those who bear titles of revererence, no matter which side of the scale thier values hold...
The problem with gods...
...we seldom forget.
Sereg'wethrin Posted the day following Tenebrous saying:
I even stir the gods do I?
Nothing more was posted.
