219th Meeting of the High Council (Sept 25, 2006)
Tanda: Hello all
Tanda: sorry I'm late
Polynikes of Yew: Good evening
Styxx: Hello Tanda
Tanda: Welcome to the High Council
Tanda: Hello
Agnathoras: Are these sessions open to the public or is it a closed session?
Polynikes of Yew: all are welcome
Tanda: Aye they are open to anyone M'lord
Agnathoras: My thanks. First visit.
Polynikes of Yew: good to have you
Polynikes of Yew: I am Polynikes
Polynikes of Yew: you are?
Tanda: We will begin momentarily
Agnathoras: Agnathoras of Magincia. A pleasure, to be sure.
Polynikes of Yew: My pleasure
Polynikes of Yew: please be sure to let me know if you have any questions
Agnathoras: I'll be certain to let you know. Thank you.
Tanda: I call this meeting to order
Polynikes of Yew: *looks at Modainites*
Tanda: We have guests from the Temple of Mondain
Tanda: under a white flag
Polynikes of Yew: *looks to Tanda and frowns
Agnathoras: ...I know the feeling.
Tanda: *wrinkles face*
Elwing Greenleaf: *grumbles*
Tanda: all be it I think it is a little more gray than white
Gargomel: *smirks*
Tanda: Please speak your piece
Tanda: and be on your way
Elros Aegnor: *nods*
Elros Aegnor: *looks around*
Elros Aegnor: It appears your halls have lessoned as of late.
Tanda: My hall is quite ok
Elros Aegnor: My first item is to ask your answer in the matter regarding my liaison between the Temple and
Elros Aegnor: this council in matters of bennificial communication and aid.
Tanda: I have considered it
Elros Aegnor: The High Priest desires an answer.
Tanda: I'm sure he does
Tanda: He must understand the premise of once bitten twice Shy
Elros Aegnor: He has given ample time.
Tanda: I have little desire to stick my hand into the snake hole again
Elros Aegnor: *nods*
Agnathoras: *pinches nose-bridge*
Elros Aegnor: However this is not a matter of asking pardon or allowance of anything more than open
Elros Aegnor: open communication
Elros Aegnor: To which temporary treaties, or perminent ones may be established.
Tanda: *raises an eyebrow*
Tanda: treaty?
Elros Aegnor: A way to communicate rather than the recession of war in cases that may benifit both parties.
Tanda: Interesting concept
Elros Aegnor: Unless you prefer to continue the constant wars you wage upon us forcing continued bloodshed.
Elros Aegnor: It is not to say that a war is not inevitable...
Tanda: There is no desire for war
Elros Aegnor: It is to say that there may be other avenues to issues and the Temple is interested in allowing a
Gargomel: *itchs eyebrow*
Elros Aegnor: voice to this council so that certain amenities may be allowed.
Agnathoras: *runs a finger over a forehead wrinkle*
Elros Aegnor: *awaits Tandas response*
Vadim Hecate: *looks around*
Vadim Hecate: *spots Greenleaf*
Elwing Greenleaf: *looks over*
Vadim Hecate: *nudges*
Elwing Greenleaf: *looks again*
Tanda: I do not believe there is any realistic hope of a lasting peace
Tanda: with the Temple of Mondain
Streea: *raises an eye brow*
Tanda: While I do wish the trials of war would cease
Tanda: for a time
Elros Aegnor: Then you seek to continue this war in the harshest terms.
Gargomel: *smirks*
Tanda: Britannia cannot give way
Elros Aegnor: Without communication of option of treaty.
Tanda: let me finish
Elros Aegnor: I shall so note this to the High ....
Elros Aegnor: *nods*
Elros Aegnor: Please continue.
Tanda: talks are welcome
Tanda: likely pointless
Tanda: but we shall at least enter in good faith
Tanda: and see what is proffered
Vadim Hecate: *whispers to Greenleaf*
Elros Aegnor: Then you are willing to allow such talks?
Tanda: I am
Agnathoras: *sighs*
Elwing Greenleaf: *knocks*
Tanda: we shall set one round
Elros Aegnor: And with your's and the councils permission, my presence may be allowed in this council chamber
Tanda: Beginning next meeting
Agnathoras: *smiles*
Elros Aegnor: during meetings that are not considered private or substantial to the Council?
Elros Aegnor: The Temple is willing to submit that there will be meetings we would be unwelcome to.
Tanda: During it's normal session next quarter
Elros Aegnor: And will respect such notification.
Tanda: After which time we shall
Tanda: revisit this arrangement
Tanda: and see what we have come to understand
Elros Aegnor: My presence here shall remain peaceful and unhindered during meetings for liaison with this council?
Tanda: between our two positions
Tanda: You have my word
Polynikes of Yew: *frowns*
Elros Aegnor: *nods*
Tanda: while in this building and on this property
Tanda: you shall not be molested
Agnathoras: *shifts position in chair*
Elros Aegnor: Very well.
Elros Aegnor: I shall note this to the High Priest.
Tanda: I do expect
Tanda: you will follow some measure of Decorum
Tanda: while here
Tanda: in return
Elros Aegnor: Of course.
Elros Aegnor: *smiles*
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: Then we have reached an agreement
Tanda: Please relay the message to Meneldur
Elros Aegnor: I shall.
Tanda: Was there another item, which you needed to address?
Elros Aegnor: *nods*
Elros Aegnor: One more item m'lady.
Tanda: *Nods*
Elros Aegnor: This item deals with Nujelm...
Tanda: *raises an eyebrow*
Elros Aegnor: While we understand the High council has no official position on Nujelm...
Tanda: *Nods*
Agamemnon
Elros Aegnor: We would like to offer this council warning that Nujelm is not to be reinforced.
Tanda: *tilts head*
Tanda: a friendly suggestion?
Elros Aegnor: *nods*
Tanda: or a threat?
Elros Aegnor: A suggestion.
Arrenathian: A guest?
Tanda: *Nods*
Elros Aegnor: We wish not see further bloodshed.
Alain de Rohan: *raises an eyebrow*
PabII: hum
Arrenathian: It seems to be the top item on the menu this eve
Elros Aegnor: Magincia has already been rooted once and such insurgence have been eliminated.
Elros Aegnor: It is only with the greatest regret we were forced such an attack.
Elros Aegnor: It will be with continued regret if more blood from the High Council were to be spilled.
Polynikes of Yew: *looks angry*
Polynikes of Yew: save the propaganda
Elros Aegnor: *turns at looks at Agnathoras for a moment then forward again*
Gargomel: *eyes narrow*
Tanda: Your message has been received
Tanda: and noted
Elros Aegnor: *nods*
Arrenathian: Elros
Elros Aegnor: Then I shall leave this council in peace and thank you for your time.
Elros Aegnor: I shall relay your message to the High Priest.
Tanda: *Nods*
Elros Aegnor: *nods respectfully*
Agnathoras: I do so hope that was your best attempt at a veiled threat...
Arrenathian: If I knew we had company I would have prepared a room
Tanda: Hello Arren
Elros Aegnor: *smirks briefly at Agnathoras as his eyes flash irridecently*
Arrenathian: Evening
Arrenathian: *looks exhausted*
Tanda: *sighs*
Agnathoras: ...great, more flashing eyes in my life...
Tanda: I so dislike having to be civil
Agnathoras: *raises hand*
Tanda: M'lord
Tanda: please introduce yourself
Tanda: and speak
Agnathoras: With your permission, after orders of official buisness, a brief moment of floortime?
Tanda: I can do that
Tanda: just need a moment
Agnathoras: *smiles accordingly*
Tanda: to catch my breath and find out what happened last quarter
Tanda: *Smiles*
Tanda: *looks around*
Tanda: So I hear Andorrast was officially brought to the Council?
Arrenathian: *nods*
Talistra Veldrin: It was
Tanda: Welcome aboard
Talistra Veldrin: The vote was in favor.
Arrenathian: The councilor will be with us shortly
Talistra Veldrin: All that remains is the swearing in, which was left for you.
Tanda: *Smiles*
Tanda: Alright
Tanda: any other news of last quarter?
Arrenathian: Hmmm
Arrenathian: It was pretty quiet
Tanda: oh joy
Styxx: yes it was
Tanda: they all wait til I'm well
Tanda: *Smiles*
Styxx: *smiles*
Arrenathian: I do have some terrible news to bring to lite
Styxx: *looks at Arrenathium*
Tanda: alright shoot
Arrenathian: As disaster seems to hit my house frequently
Arrenathian: i just received word from ujio the monk and members of the Royal Knights
Tanda: *looks concerned*
Arrenathian: the My wife Akasha has been killed
Talistra Veldrin: *raises an eyebrow*
Polynikes of Yew: *looks shocked*
Agnathoras: *crooks an eyebrow*
Woodrow Call: *looks saddened*
PabII: *gasps*
Styxx: *gasps in disbelief*
Arrenathian: The information suggest that a person by the name NOS killed her
Tanda: oh, so she was murdered
Arrenathian: *looks down at the warrant on the table*
Arrenathian: from the information recieved
Arrenathian: yes, the body has not been recovered
Tanda: I am sorry to hear this Arrenathian
Arrenathian: agents are currently searching for that
Arrenathian: *nods*
Arrenathian: thank you
Styxx: *wipes tears from her eyes*
PabII: *shakes head in disbelief*
Arrenathian: As this affects many things outside my home
Styxx: How terrible!
Arrenathian: She was the leader of the UCS
Arrenathian: for New Castle
Arrenathian: which leaves a political void and possible instability
Tanda: I am certain the Royal Knights will step up
Tanda: to maintain the town
Arrenathian: *looks to Tanda*
Arrenathian: Aye
Arrenathian: I am certain things will be taken care of
Tanda: *pats your arm*
Arrenathian: I would ask that polynikes assist the Knight sand the other forces when needed in this
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Polynikes of Yew: of course
Arrenathian: *looks to Tanda*
Arrenathian: Evil seems to be rearing it's head
Arrenathian: We shall defeat it
Arrenathian: *looks a bit stern*
Tanda: If you feel the need for some time off, we will understand Vice Chancellor
Arrenathian: thank you for your time
Tanda: you need only say the word
Arrenathian: *nods to Tanda*
Arrenathian: thank you
Tanda: Justicar Bloodcryer
Tanda: welcome back
Tanda: *Smiles*
Bloodcryer: *nods*
Tanda: We shall have need of you
Tanda: Talistra here
Tanda: *motions behind her*
Tanda: is Ra'Dian's Adjutant
Talistra Veldrin: *nods slightly*
Tanda: The two of you should try to get to know each other
Bloodcryer: So I have heard. A Pleasure of course.
Tanda: M'lord in the red robe
Tanda: please
Tanda: come forward
Agnathoras: *looks up*
Agnathoras: Esteemed members of the council
Agnathoras: I am Agnathoras, of Magincia
Bloodcryer: *raises eyebrow*
Agnathoras: I've spent a good portion of my life studying in Papua
Tanda: A pleasure to meet you
Agnathoras: *bows*
Agnathoras: The pleasure is mine
Agnathoras: Now what I have to say may, no I can guarantee it WILL come off as somewhat
Agnathoras: belligerent
Agnathoras: How can we let these Mondainites run reign in my former homeland?
Agnathoras: Granted
Agnathoras: I am only back a short time, but I have consulted with some old friends I have there
Agnathoras: they are NOT wanted.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Agnathoras: Furthermore, they sense my notion of dissent
Agnathoras: which the Emmisary made clear in no subtle manner
Tanda: *Nods*
Agnathoras: So my question to you is this....
Agnathoras: What can I do, short of the sword, to bring some sense of legitimacy back to
Agnathoras: Magincia, politically speaking?
Agnathoras: I dont shirk from war
Agnathoras: but the war for m Isle is not one that I feel needs to be fought with steel
Tanda: M'lord
Agnathoras: *silences*
Polynikes of Yew: *watches speaker closely*
Tanda: I fear Meneldur's original bid
Tanda: was due to major shifts of leadership and structure of this council
Tanda: it came about during a time when leadership came to me
Agnathoras: Yes, I have read the transcripts.
Tanda: and the Constitutions re-write
Tanda: was very new
Tanda: It was my failure
Agnathoras: A sham of the highest order, to which you are not to blame. The lethargy of
Agnathoras: the Magincia populace are more at fault
Tanda: In the mean time tonight
Tanda: what you witnessed is a stall
Tanda: I offered his admission next quarter
Agnathoras: What you witnessed was the reaction to a percieved threat, m'lady.
Tanda: to buy us this quarter
Alain de Rohan: *flutters his fan*
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: He moves his piece
Tanda: we try to counter
Agnathoras: Yes but with respects...
Agnathoras: he is ONE PIECE.
Arrenathian: *looks over*
Agnathoras: You can slap the chessboard off the table at any time
Arrenathian: Sir
Agnathoras: That may sound a hint of warmongering
Agnathoras: but I cannot stress enough that this is not my aim
Arrenathian: Manuevered correctly the king can still take all the pieces off the board
Arrenathian: *pieces
Agnathoras: *looks to Tanda*
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles a bit*
Arrenathian: Excuse me
Agnathoras: ...but as we know, the Queen is the most potent piece
Tanda: At this point
Polynikes of Yew: I agree that some action should be taken
Polynikes of Yew: regarding the situation in Magencia
Tanda: I try to keep a very low profile
Agnathoras: I close my address with this note
Tanda: I had not been able to make contact with any citizens of Magincia
Tanda: other than the Temple's members
Tanda: for ages
Tanda: While I appreciate they do not like his rule
Agnathoras: They are there, Chancellor
Agnathoras: They are simply settling for a non-fringing rule
Agnathoras: in the abscense of a better one
Agnathoras: The Mondainites are seldom there
Tanda: I have been about a few times over the last several months
Tanda: left notes within the library
Tanda: and Lady Silverbrooks home
Agnathoras: I cannot speak to authority, but if his agents are making veiled threats to
Agnathoras: "little ol me"...don't you think it prudent to stifle your attempts to counter
Agnathoras: his state there?
Agnathoras: *rubs chin*
Tanda: I did not wish to bring his rath up on those not expecting it
Agnathoras: What is required of me to bring Magincia back to this table?
Tanda: Meneldur is a Priest who has great magical prowess
Tanda: with his glowing ring
Agnathoras: Yes,
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Tanda: I shall defer to you
Agnathoras: *silences*
Tanda: Only be certain
Tanda: the Priest watches us even now
Agnathoras: *scoffs*
Tanda: scrying from his Temple
Agnathoras: I have no doubts
Polynikes of Yew: My friend *looks to Anathoras*
Polynikes of Yew: friend
Agnathoras: Grand Marshall...
Polynikes of Yew: we will do everything we can to aid you in this regard
Polynikes of Yew: but the Chancellor is correct
Polynikes of Yew: We should make our plans
Polynikes of Yew: in a less public venue
Tanda: *Nods*
Polynikes of Yew: Yes
Polynikes of Yew: *looks up*
Agnathoras: Grand Marshall, I come to this council not with threats of bloodshed
Agnathoras: as the Temple does
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Agnathoras: But the ones is on ME to produce faith from Magincia that I am....
Agnathoras: ...for lack of a better term...
Agnathoras: "the better man."
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Agnathoras: I will labor to do so
Polynikes of Yew: Well spoken
Agnathoras: I cant take credit for FACTS, Grand Marshall
Agnathoras: They are what they are.
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Agnathoras: But I take some comfort that the Mondainites KNOW I am here
Agnathoras: I love my home
Agnathoras: And I have clearly rattled some feathers.
Agnathoras: It is my wish that this rattling is worth it. I thank you all.
Agnathoras: *bows*
Arrenathian: *nods*
Agnathoras: ...dear lord, I've put them to sleep.
Agnathoras: *chuckles*
Ujio the Monk: *grins*
Polynikes of Yew: *chuckles*
Polynikes of Yew: nay good sir
Polynikes of Yew: we have had other speakers
Agnathoras: Curse my longwindedness!
Polynikes of Yew: far more powerful in that regard
Polynikes of Yew: *winks*
Woodrow Call: *coughs*
Tanda: Elven in nature to be sure
Woodrow Call: Lore Denin
Woodrow Call: *coughs*
Tanda: Oh yes and Lore
Polynikes of Yew: *shakes head and smiles*
Tanda: *smiles fondly*
Agnathoras: You elves
Arrenathian: Yes?
Agnathoras: So much time to burn!
Arrenathian: Did I not nod in your general direction?
Allethia: *blinks*
Tanda: M'lord
Arrenathian: *grins a bit*
Tanda: Magincia has long been a treasured place in my life
Agnathoras: *blushes*
Tanda: I studied there
Allethia: *smiles at arrenthain*
Arrenathian: *smiles at Allethia*
Agnathoras: As did I, Chancellor
Tanda: while it turns my stomach to smile and be polite to Elros
Tanda: I have to play "the game"
Tanda: to allow those who have the military might
Tanda: and strategy to weather this storm
Agnathoras: I hope to make "the game" more palatable when it comes to the Isle we treasure,
Tanda: I do not give any pretense
Agnathoras: Chancellor
Tanda: that I am a warrior, despite my attire
Arrenathian: *coughs new wardrobe*
Tanda: That is more to duck the errant Ogre who shows up at my doorstep
Tanda: I will bat my eyes, and be courteous
Tanda: if it is to our advantage for now
Tanda: If you set up a time Grand Marshall
Tanda: and send a messenger, we can arrange something, less public
Alain de Rohan: *snaps his fans closed*
Tanda: and send word to M'lady Imadii
Agnathoras: For now, Chancellor,
Agnathoras: with your permission
Agnathoras: let me continue to gain support
Agnathoras: after all
Agnathoras: you don’t know me from a hole in the wall
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: No, I do not
Tanda: but well
Agnathoras: and while I hope charm and personality speaks volumes
Tanda: my little voice speaks well of you thus far
Agnathoras: the proper channels should be undertaken, and that is my responsibility
Tanda: please do
Tanda: you can find me in Minoc
Tanda: north of the stable along the shore
Agnathoras: I know the mining town well
Tanda: if you have need of my home
Tanda: A rather large estate Atreus left me
Tanda: Any other items to bring before the Council tonight?
Talistra Veldrin: *raises hand*
Tanda: Talistra
Talistra Veldrin: The swearing in of the Andorrast Councilor, Chancellor.
Tanda: *Smiles*
Tanda: ah yes
Allethia: *smiles*
Arrenathian: *smiles*
Tanda: M'lady Allethia
Tanda: please raise your right hand
Allethia: *raises her right hand*
Tanda: repeat after me
Tanda: we'll do Ra's favorite
Tanda: instead of a yes or no
Arrenathian: *sighs*
Bloodcryer: *chuckles*
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*

Agnathoras: *pops a mint leaf*
Agnathoras: They'll never go away, m'lady
Styxx: *puts a hand to her face to cover a smile*
Tanda: no a bit like roaches
Agnathoras: But I hope, with the aid of this Council...
Agnathoras: ...we get them out of Magincia
Tanda: they just scurry into the shadows again
Agnathoras: ...sand darts....
Tanda: *Smiles*
Arrenathian: Hmmm
Tanda: Perhaps we can leave them to the desert of Compassion lost
Agnathoras: They are part of the cycle of things here
Agnathoras: This wont change
Agnathoras: But when the secede flag cities....
Agnathoras: Smiles should give way to intolerance
Agnathoras: in my humble opinion

Agnathoras: Just a question. What is the UCS I keep hearing of
Agnathoras: mail is slow in Papua
Talistra Veldrin: *raises a hand*
Tanda: M'lady
Agnathoras: *smiles*
Talistra Veldrin: It is not an answer to the Magincian's question. It is information regarding a different subject.
Styxx: UCS = United Council of Sosaria
Tanda: Oh ok
Agnathoras: *raises eyebrows*
Styxx: UCS is to NewCastle as HC is to us
Agnathoras: Ah
Agnathoras: Thats about as complete answer as I can hope for!
