Special Event: Baronial Audience

SUMMARY OF EVENTS-Words from the Baron
Twas a great day for all Therengians as our Lord Baron spoke and clarified some of the recent events concerning the great houses of Therengia. The Baron addressed concerns with the rope bridge that runs between Therengia and Rossmans,and new court positions. Many petitions were presented from a requisition for a brigade to merge with an order, causing the Riverhaven Plaza guards to be of greater service, a catman, bone diggin in the chapel, and a former lowlife turns guard.

-New Morzindaen Leaders
Lord Idrast M'Henral, Lord Jordain Dekera, Lord Raffaele Darpam, and Lady Esharess Chancar

-Rope Bridge Under Review
Baron Gyfford has been in negotiations with Lord Rossman about bridge improvements. No further details offered at this time.

-New Court Positions
Baron Gyfford indicated that he desires to open more court positions. The first that was mentioned was that of a Military Advisor. Klurn and I both requested to be considered for the role and were then requested to convince the Baron as to which one was better suited. Both Klurn and I offered a great presentation with much support from our friends and fellow members. The Baron stated that in one week the position would be awarded.

SUMMARY OF EVENTS-Petitions
-Northern Watch Requested to Merge with the Theren Guard
I requested that having a stronger and more united front would aid us in the fight against the Orcs, Viggu, and various other evils. In prior meetings with the Theren Guard, the leadership and members agreed this would be in the best interest of the province as well. Baron Gyfford approved of the merger.

-Incidental Conversation- Nickname
Apparently Viggu's nickname for myself has gained some traction and now is spreading throughout the lands. Moving forward, it appears that I will look forward to being called catman... Thanks Viggu, real original.

-Riverhaven Plaza Guard Service
Malakye requested that the Baron consider having the guards offer escorts to shoppers searching for shops (Well said Malakye, well said). The Baron indicated that he would speak with the Riverhaven Mayor regarding the matter.

-Necromancers Spotted In The Chapel
Toreakas stated that a known necromancer by the name of Sepharus has been digging in the chapel. Toreakas asked if the Baron would know why anyone would dig in the chapel, the Baron stated that his fathers bier is there. Others mentioned that they have seen other alleged necromancers there digging. The Baron ordered to kill them if seen.

-Former Lowlife turns guard
The former Lowlife Nefarious attended the meeting and stated that he woke up with a fresh mind and that the gods have shown him a new life and that he is on a mission to right wrongs. Nefarious indicated that he wanted to make his home and to offer his service to Therengia. The Baron granted Nefarious stay as long as Nefarious doesn't turn back towards his previous ways.



In service of His Grace, Baron Gyfford,

Ternith Sjomah
Commander of The Northern Watch


(Thanks to Bertan for cleaning up and offering the following Log)

[19:42] Idrast says, "Afternoon everyone."
[19:42] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Greetings Lord Idrast."
[19:42] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "Greetings, and well met."
[19:42] Idrast says, "I don't believe I've met any of you, so I thought I would introduce myself."
[19:42] Idrast says, "I'm Idrast M'Henral..."
[19:43] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) quietly says to Idrast, "Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) Daemondred. And this is my wife, Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker)."
[19:43] Idrast says, "As you're probably aware, my grandmother, the Lady Alianhra passed not to long ago..."
[19:43] Idrast says to Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "A pleasure."
[19:43] Idrast says to Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker), "My lady."
[19:43] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says to Idrast, "Likewise."
[19:43] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says to Idrast, "My condolences kind Sir."
[19:43] Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker) says to Idrast, "Pleased to meet you. And my sorrows for your loss."
[19:43] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "And my condolences, yes."
[19:43] Idrast says to Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council), "Thank you."
[19:43] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says to Idrast, "And the condolences of the Theren Guard."
[19:44] Idrast says, "I am currently meeting with some of the other Morzindaen...."
[19:44] Idrast says, "In particular, some that will be taking the place of some of our...more recently departed."
[19:45] Idrast says, "They declined to come and meet, as their families are still obviously in mourning."
[19:45] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Understandable."
[19:45] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Our thoughts and prayers are with them and you through this time."
[19:45] Idrast says, "That would be Lord Jardain Dekera, Lord Raffaele Darpam, and Lady Eshaness Chancar..."
[19:45] Idrast says, "I will pass that along, and thank you for the kind words."
[19:46] Idrast says, "Beyond that, I'll leave His Grace to address you all."
[19:46] Idrast says, "I did receive some well wishes from some of you, and again, I thank you all for the thoughtful words."
[19:47] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) quietly asks Idrast, "May I ask you a candid question, my'lord?"
[19:47] Idrast says, "Perhaps."
[19:47] Idrast says, "I'm sure Dragaus will be with you all shortly."
[19:47] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) quietly says to Idrast, "In your assessment, how bad is it with the orcs? I know they've always been raiders. But this seems like something else."
[19:48] Idrast says to Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "I feel like it's definitely something else."
[19:48] Idrast says, "It's hard to imagine a force that would be able to get through the guard that has protected us for so long."
[19:49] Idrast says, "This alone, puts it a much great risk, I'm afraid."
[19:49] Idrast says, "But again...I'll leave the Baron to address that further....duty calls."
[19:49] Woten quietly says to Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council), "Nice fight the other day."
[19:49] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Well now."
[19:50] Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council) says, "Thanks, everyone did a wonderful job."
[19:50] Karthor (Cav, Council) says, "H'lo folks."
[19:50] Ternith (NW, Commander) asks, "Hows it going Karthor (Cav, Council)?"
[19:51] Karthor (Cav, Council) asks, "Goin' alright, how're you?"
[19:51] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) quietly says to Karthor (Cav, Council), "Good to see you."
[19:51] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Doing well, thanks for asking."
[19:51] Karthor (Cav, Council) asks Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "Likewise, yer doin' well I trust?"
[19:51] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says to Karthor (Cav, Council), "Life has been good. This potential war has me worried."
[19:52] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "I'd hoped we'd have a few years of relative quiet."
[19:52] Karthor (Cav, Council) says, "Seems that might be too much to ask."
[19:52] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly asks Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "And do what..knit?"
[19:52] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Eww."
[19:52] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says to Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council), "Raise my family. Build onto my house. Learn to brew good beer."
[19:53] Dragaus says, "Evening all."
[19:53] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Evening."
[19:53] Dragaus asks, "I trust everyone is doing well, yeah?"
[19:53] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) quietly says, "Evening."
[19:53] Dragaus says, "Please...no bowing."
[19:53] Dragaus says, "Just a common soldier, folks."
[19:54] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says to Dragaus, "Good to see you Sir."
[19:54] Dragaus says to Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council), "And you."
[19:54] Dragaus says, "I should also mention, it's pretty somber around the Keep recently....just bear that in mind."
[19:55] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Understood."
[19:55] Dragaus says, "For anyone who hasn't thought about it."
[19:55] Dragaus asks, "I trust everyone's heard the bad news?"
[19:55] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "I believe word spread quickly."
[19:55] Dragaus says, "Good....I hate repeating it."
[19:55] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Lord Idrast was just here speaking with us."
[19:56] Dragaus asks, "And what did you think of the young Lord, so far?"
[19:56] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Very personable under the circumstances."
[19:56] Dragaus says, "It's going to be interesting trying to keep him under guard."
[19:56] Dragaus says, "He's pretty independent."
[19:56] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "I thought it was kind of him to come meet us..."
[19:57] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Very kind of him to take the time, stop in and introduce himself and speak with us."
[19:57] Dragaus says, "Which is polite for nearly impossible to guard effectively."
[19:57] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) dryly asks Dragaus, "You wouldn't want your tour of duty to be boring, would you?"
[19:57] Dragaus exclaims, "The Gods forbid!"
[19:59] Dragaus says, "If anyone has any weapons in hand...I'd suggest sheathing them."
[19:59] Dragaus says, "Also polite for "don't make me kill you."
[19:59] Dragaus says to Ternith (NW, Commander), "Nice report on the orc situation."
[20:00] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Thank you kindly."
[20:00] Dragaus says to Ternith (NW, Commander), "Personally, I liked the nickname."
[20:00] Ternith (NW, Commander) asks, "Catman?"
[20:00] Dragaus says, "Yes, that."
[20:00] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "I wish I had a plat each time I heard that."
[20:00] Dragaus says, "I'll bet you do, catman."
[20:01] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "We have had some great battles recently."
[20:01] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Many great warriors made it out to help."
[20:01] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "I believe our Grace would be quite proud of his people."
[20:01] Dragaus says, "And so annoying that I wasn't able to join."
[20:01] Dragaus says, "I believe he is, yes."
[20:02] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Someone had to watch the kitchen..."
[20:02] Dragaus says, "Speaking of."
[20:02] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "Might as well finish while there's time."
[20:02] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Hope they are not looking to whip up catman soup."
[20:03] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "Catsup."
[20:03] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Thanks Vyk, you're alright."
[20:04] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says to Navesi, "Poetry is a gift that has to be shared."
[20:05] Navesi says to Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "I think you have a misapprehension about the definition of poetry."
[20:05] Dragaus says, "I believe his Grace is ready, if you would all join me, please."
[20:05] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says to Navesi, "I had a teacher who called herself Miss Apprehension, once."
[20:05] Dragaus says, "Gee."
[20:06] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "He is teasing."
[20:06] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Umm."
[20:06] Navesi says to Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "And here I thought humor got better with age."
[20:06] Vykanthiss (NW) asks, "Let's dance?"
[20:06] Dragaus says, "Okay, just kidding."
[20:06] Dragaus says, "Join up."
[20:06] Dragaus says, "You will be expected to be on your best behavior."
[20:06] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Second time I've heard that."
[20:06] Malakye says to Dragaus, "I always am, sir."
[20:06] Ternith (NW, Commander) asks, "Did you put the guards at the drawbridge up to that?"
[20:07] Dragaus says, "I might have."
[20:07] Vykanthiss (NW) says, "Uh oh. I don't know what that means."
[20:07] Dragaus asks, "Everyone ready?"
[20:07] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Ready here."
[20:08] Gyfford says, "Rise."
[20:08] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says to Gyfford, " Good Day M'Lord."
[20:08] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "And evening."
[20:09] Gyfford says, "I have a few things I want to mention first, then the scribe will take any petitions."
[20:09] Gyfford says, "As most of you know, during one of the recent orc invasions we lost several of our Morzindaen Lords."
[20:10] Qiyan says, "Pardon sir...."
[20:10] Qiyan says, "There are others still seeking entrance."
[20:10] Gyfford says, "Currently, the majority of the Morzindaen are here at the Keep, and discussing further plans of addressing the situation."
[20:12] Gyfford says, "Now then...."
[20:12] Gyfford says, "It seems that the orc invasions are well beyond wht I'd call increasing."
[20:13] Gyfford says, "Anytime we lose even one of our own."
[20:13] Gyfford says, "I want to thank all the warriors that stood to fight against them."
[20:13] Gyfford says, "From the smallest helper, to the fiercest."
[20:14] Gyfford says, "Without all of you, the threat would surely be even greater."
[20:15] Gyfford says, "Currently Marshal Amlach is devising a plan of attack, one where we will infiltrate Viggu's lair."
[20:16] Gyfford says, "I don't have complete details on all of it yet....as they're all in the Council Chambers as we speak."
[20:17] Gyfford says, "I just don't have the words to convey what a loss this has been, and it's not even over yet."
[20:17] Gyfford says, "Once the Marshal has a solid plan, then I'll call upon all the brigades to meet again and we'll discuss it in detail."
[20:18] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "We shall be ready M'Lord."
[20:18] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Aye we will."
[20:18] Gyfford says, "Members of the Northern Watch and the Theren Guard, as well as many who came from outside the province, you have my thanks."
[20:19] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Our pleasure and honor to serve."
[20:19] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "It is our pleasure to serve, Your Grace."
[20:19] Gyfford says, "And it's my hope that you will continue to lead with that example in the days to come."
[20:19] Gyfford says, "I have another matter that concerns me."
[20:19] Gyfford asks, "Has any of you seen our Court Advisor?"
[20:19] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Nay Milord."
[20:19] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Once in the last few weeks."
[20:19] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Not in quite a while Sire."
[20:20] Gyfford says, "He's not much of a Court Advisor at this point."
[20:20] Gyfford says to Erieck, "And it's good to see you again, Historian."
[20:20] Erieck says, "My Lord Baron.."
[20:21] Gyfford says, "I believe it may be time to consider additonal court positions, and maybe a new Advisor as well."
[20:21] Gyfford says to Erieck, "I'd like to see more of you, as well, Erieck."
[20:22] Gyfford says, "On another matter."
[20:22] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) whispers, "please remove your zombies"
[20:22] Qiyan says, "Well... sir..."
[20:22] Gyfford asks, "Who here speaks for the Theren Guard?"
[20:22] Qiyan says, "I mean I have seen him."
[20:22] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "I do your Grace."
[20:22] Qiyan says, "But perhaps not acting in the capacity you see him."
[20:22] Gyfford asks Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council), "Where's my reports?"
[20:22] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly asks, "Reports, your Grace?"
[20:23] Gyfford says, "Surely after all the years I've repeatedly asked for regular reports, you're not going to stand there and stare at me like I have three heads."
[20:23] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "No Your Grace, my apologies."
[20:23] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "It was my understanding they were being sent..."
[20:23] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "I shall check on them and see to it."
[20:23] Gyfford asks Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council), "Please ask your Speaker for me then, would you?"
[20:24] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Yes M'Lord."
[20:24] Gyfford says, "I haven't seen a report from the Theren Guard in I can't remember when."
[20:24] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "I am sorry to hear that Your Grace. I shall tend to it."
[20:24] Gyfford says to Ternith (NW, Commander), "You, I get reports from. And thank you for being so thorough."
[20:24] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Very welcome M'lord."
[20:25] Gyfford says, "Following the recent deaths of Lords Solysi, Haleran, and Caranry."
[20:25] Gyfford says, "And the passing of Lady Alianhra."
[20:26] Gyfford says, "I know you've met Lord Idrast."
[20:26] Gyfford says, "He'll be taking up the leadership of House M'Henral."
[20:27] Gyfford says, "Lord Jardain Dekera, Lord Raffaele Darpam, and Lady Esharess Chancar will be stepping up for their respective houses as well."
[20:27] Gyfford says, "Understandably, they chose not to be here following the hearing of their oaths and I can surely understand why."
[20:29] Gyfford says, "Rise please."
[20:29] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "Sorry I'm late. Long line at the rope."
[20:29] Gyfford says, "Now then...."
[20:29] Gyfford says, "Which brings me to another point."
[20:29] Toreakas (TG, VS) asks, "Did we submit the petition for a second rope yet?"
[20:29] Gyfford says, "I have recently spoken to Lord Rossman about that blasted rope bridge."
[20:30] Gyfford says, "And I believe we'll be working together to come up with a plan for something better."
[20:30] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "That is wonderful news."
[20:30] Gyfford says, "I won't promise it next week, but we're negotiating."
[20:30] Gyfford exclaims, "Finally!"
[20:31] Gyfford asks, "Does anyone have any further reports on the orcs?"
[20:31] Gyfford says to Klurn (Cav, Commander), "Let's hear it."
[20:31] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Milord."
[20:32] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "As i was leading a group on a tour a week back we aere ambushed by orcs in Vigggus Lair."
[20:32] Gyfford says, "Again."
[20:32] Gyfford says, "I hope you smeared them all over."
[20:32] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "We took heavy casualties but eventually defeated the force."
[20:33] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "But Sir his Warrior Mage was seen."
[20:33] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Nikoruk by name."
[20:33] Gyfford says, "You and the others have my thanks for thinning the herd, as it were."
[20:33] Gyfford asks, "Is that so?"
[20:33] Klurn (Cav, Commander) asks, "If i may Sir i have a request?"
[20:33] Gyfford says, "Tell me you escorted him to the starry road."
[20:33] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "He ran."
[20:34] Gyfford says, "I wish I could say I was surprised."
[20:34] Navesi says, "I recently published a written account of this encounter in the First Land Herald. A small favor offered by myself on behalf of Zoluren."
[20:34] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Very good article."
[20:34] Gyfford says to Navesi, "I read it, and thank you for reiterating the troops experiences."
[20:35] Gyfford asks, "Did you get in his lair yet?"
[20:35] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "No Sir."
[20:35] Gyfford says, "I was hoping to hear you burnt it to a crisp."
[20:35] Gyfford says, "Shame."
[20:35] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "But hopefully the Lord Marshal will have a plan."
[20:36] Klurn (Cav, Commander) asks, "'Sir?"
[20:36] Gyfford says, "I'm anxious."
[20:36] Qiyan says, "Ambush the outhouse."
[20:36] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "I have spoken with my fellow Guard sir."
[20:36] Gyfford asks Klurn (Cav, Commander), "And?"
[20:37] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "And i would like you to consider me for your Military Laiason/Advisor."
[20:37] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "With this war..."
[20:37] Gyfford says, "I'll let you know when I appoint one. In the meantime, no."
[20:37] Gyfford says, "With that in mind...."
[20:38] Gyfford says, "If anyone has any petitions, please whisper your name to the scribe."
[20:39] Nythaniel says, "Ternith (NW, Commander) would like to speak."
[20:40] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Thank you Nythaniel."
[20:40] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Your Grace, I wish to thank you for your willingness to hear my petition."
[20:40] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Many moons ago you granted me a great responsibility, to command the Northern Watch. To maintain patrols throughout your lands, serve where possible, lead, and train folks."
[20:40] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "I promised to give it my all and to be a great representation and to make you proud. I sealed this promise with my life and have absolutely no regrets but much respect and appreciation for you and your willingness to trust me with such a task."
[20:40] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Thanks to the opportunity that you so mercifully bestowed upon me, I've taken and worked to build a powerful unit of passionate warriors. They brought heart, shed much blood, sweat, and tears, and have stopped at nothing to uphold their oath to you. These folks have made me very proud to call them members, but more than that, friends."
[20:40] Gyfford says, "And you've done a great job."
[20:41] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "The brotherhood that has been formed as a result overwhelms my heart and causes me to be very proud to serve alongside of each and everyone one of the members. They have proven to be professional in their service and representation and selfless in their intent and execution."
[20:41] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "To each of the Northern Watch members that are here, I'd like to say, from the bottom of my heart and with all that I am... Thank you for your service, support, and friendship. You are one 'ell of a group and I'm looking forward to serving alongside of you for many years to come."
[20:41] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "You Grace, I have thought long and hard about this petition. I've had several conversations with folks, including the Speaker of The Theren Guard. Due to the continued raids from Viggu's minions and their increasing intensity. It is my desire to present a strong, unified front against those that oppose the Keep and to combat the evils that wish to tarnish your lands."
[20:41] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "The speaker of the Theren Guard and his membership also have shared that they agree that a merger would be a great value and have expressed their willingness to accept and support a merger between the Northern Watch and the Theren Guard."
[20:42] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "I am very pleased to say that the members of the Northern Watch have also agreed that the unity would be a great benefit and have expressed their support of the merger as well."
[20:42] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "M'lord Gyfford, these fine warriors have proven themselves and their loyalty to Your Throne. I am pleased to share that they are indeed ready for the next level of commitment, service, and will prove to be great representatives of You and your values."
[20:42] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "You Grace, I beg of your consideration and ask for your blessing upon this petition to merge the Northern Watch with the Theren Guard. As for the Northern Watch, providing you bless this merger, I would propose that the brigade itself be suspended until such time that the need arises to reactivate. Thank you for hearing the words of your servant."
[20:42] Gyfford says, "Interesting."
[20:42] Gyfford asks, "Anyone from the Theren Guard care to speak on that?"
[20:43] Gyfford says, "Just jump right in there."
[20:43] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "The Guard agrees that we would be best unified and coordinated."
[20:43] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "And we would be honored to have them."
[20:43] Gyfford says, "It's an interesting prospect, and frankly, Im surprised it hasn't come up sooner."
[20:44] Ternith (NW, Commander) asks, "Oh?"
[20:44] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "This war we're facing has a way of spurring action."
[20:44] Gyfford says, "I know we often have personalities that differ from time to time, person to person, which is why the brigades have been so diversified."
[20:45] Gyfford says, "But I can only think this merger would make a unified front and further ground the protection of our lands."
[20:45] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "The Watch and the Guard have been working well together."
[20:45] Druidal (TG) says, "Time to put childish things aside M'Lord ."
[20:45] Gyfford says to Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council), "See, if I had a report from the Theren Guard, I might have seen this coming."
[20:46] Gyfford says to Druidal (TG), "Indeed it is."
[20:46] Gyfford says, "Long over due."
[20:46] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "I'll ensure that the reports are sent from now on."
[20:46] Gyfford says, "Thankfully I'm sitting down or I may have fainted in the thought that you all finally get it."
[20:47] Gyfford says, "Of course you all have my blessings."
[20:47] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Thank you m'lord."
[20:47] Gyfford says, "I'm proud of all of you."
[20:47] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Thank you Your Grace."
[20:47] Ternith (NW, Commander) asks, "I do have one more thing if I may?"
[20:47] Gyfford says, "Very well done. I can't say it enough."
[20:47] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "We have grown close over time."
[20:48] Qiyan exclaims, "Whew! It'll be a big ole bonding! I wonder if the Court Advisor can oversee it... will there be vows and everything?!"
[20:48] Erieck says to Kenamer, "Well I feel old now..."
[20:48] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "I never agreed to bonding."
[20:48] Gyfford says to Qiyan, "Welcome to Therengia. I'm Baron Gyfford, just in case you weren't aware."
[20:49] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Also, as Klurn (Cav, Commander) said.. I too wish to be considered for your Military Laiason role when you get to that."
[20:49] Gyfford says, "Well now."
[20:49] Qiyan exclaims to Gyfford, "Qiyan... Howdee!"
[20:50] Gyfford says, "I have a question for each of you."
[20:50] Klurn (Cav, Commander) asks, "Yes Milord?"
[20:50] Gyfford says to Klurn (Cav, Commander), "What makes you think you'd make a good Military Advisor? Convince me."
[20:51] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Well Milord my loyalty first and foremost."
[20:51] Gyfford asks, "And?"
[20:52] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "'and my Experience in two wars as Commander of the forces on Aesry. I have served this province for at least 20 years as well and have tried to retire."
[20:52] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "I keep coming back to serve you."
[20:52] Gyfford says, "Apparently."
[20:52] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "And i wanna walk Viggu."
[20:53] Raggard (TG, Treasurer) says, "Mlord Klurn (Cav, Commander) is the biggest baddest smartest barb I ever met."
[20:53] Gyfford says, "Don't we all."
[20:53] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "I would love to bring you his head."
[20:53] Gyfford says, "I'd gladly except it."
[20:54] Gyfford says, "And you, catman."
[20:54] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Oh my.."
[20:54] Gyfford says to Ternith (NW, Commander), "I couldn't resist."
[20:54] Gyfford says, "For those of you that are unaware, apparently Viggu referred to Ternith (NW, Commander) here as 'catman'."
[20:55] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) dryly says to Ternith (NW, Commander), "Own it. It's not a bad nickname."
[20:55] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Aahh..yes....yes."
[20:55] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Well your Grace, to say that I am better than Klurn (Cav, Commander) would be a flat lie. He and I have served together, we have worked to defend and protect your lands for many years. I might have caused a little trouble in my time but you have been kind and just and offered me another chance to prove myself."
[20:56] Gyfford says, "Understatement, but I've come to understand you a bit over the years, Ternith (NW, Commander)."
[20:56] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "I work hard, train hard and pray I am pleasing to your home and in your eyes."
[20:56] Gyfford says to Ternith (NW, Commander), "Convince me."
[20:56] Gyfford asks, "Anyone else want to be convinced besides me?"
[20:57] Raeyel asks, "Might I add something sir?"
[20:57] Gyfford says, "Why not."
[20:57] Ternith (NW, Commander) says to Gyfford, "I stand here today with men that would go to the ends of the world and fight for you, I have worked to build this brigade and we work damn hard to protect these lands."
[20:57] Raeyel says, "I am Raeyel, newest member of the Watch."
[20:57] Ternith (NW, Commander) says to Gyfford, "If you need a leader, you're looking at one."
[20:57] Raeyel says, "And formerly of Zoluren....."
[20:57] Qiyan exclaims, "That was convincing!"
[20:58] Raeyel says, "I decided on the Watch after a while of fighting the orcs along with Ternith (NW, Commander)."
[20:58] Raeyel says, "He leads with passion and conviction."
[20:58] Raeyel says, "And more so, with inspiration."
[20:59] Raeyel says, "We wouldnt just follow him to hell, we would race him there."
[20:59] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "As we would for Klurn (Cav, Commander)."
[20:59] Raeyel says, "Thats the depth of faith we of the Watch have in Ternith (NW, Commander)."
[20:59] Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council) says, "Yes we would."
[20:59] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Perhaps its a barb thing."
[20:59] Raeyel says, "Not just because Ternith (NW, Commander) is my commmander."
[21:00] Raeyel says, "But......a friend, a proven one aat that."
[21:00] Raggard (TG, Treasurer) says, "Aye Mlord Klurn (Cav, Commander) has led in a couple wars and held just about every position in the guard including but not limited to Speaker."
[21:00] Kenamer says to Dragaus, "My depest appologies but I must abruptly run, please dont think it rude? and please convey my appologies to the Baron."
[21:00] Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council) says, "I have known Klurn (Cav, Commander) for many many years."
[21:00] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "As have I."
[21:00] Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council) says, "He is loyal to a fault, he is dedicated, and knowledgable."
[21:00] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "We have served together for a very long time."
[21:01] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "And his leadership is strong."
[21:01] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "And unwavering."
[21:01] Gyfford says, "Klurn (Cav, Commander) has been around for a very, very long time."
[21:01] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Now I feel old."
[21:01] Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council) says, "'I am very sure that Klurn (Cav, Commander) be inspirational in this position."
[21:02] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "I even led a young prince on a night mission to kill orcs and almost died at his Fathers hand."
[21:02] Gyfford says, "Well."
[21:02] Gyfford says, "An interesting situation."
[21:02] Gyfford says, "I'll tell you what."
[21:03] Qiyan asks, "Silent auction?"
[21:03] Gyfford says, "Let me think about it and we'll revisit it, in say..."
[21:03] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly asks, "5 rois?"
[21:03] Gyfford says, "One week."
[21:03] Gyfford asks, "Fair enough?"
[21:04] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Sound good, thank you for your consideration."
[21:04] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly asks, "Or consider...co-Advisors?"
[21:04] Gyfford says, "So be it."
[21:04] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Aye milord."
[21:04] Raeyel asks Ternith (NW, Commander), "Think we can kill Viggu before then?"
[21:04] Ternith (NW, Commander) says to Raeyel, "Always a chance."
[21:04] Vykanthiss (NW) says, "We're all for one cause."
[21:04] Toreakas (TG, VS) asks, "First one to walk Viggu gets the position?"
[21:04] Raeyel says, "Ok, get a stick, box, a rope and a gnome, meet me near the entrance."
[21:04] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Grin."
[21:04] Nythaniel says, "Navesi would like to speak."
[21:05] Druidal (TG) says, "Then we need to get that pzzle on the door figured out."
[21:05] Navesi says, "I bring a message on behalf of Mother Whiteburn (Banned)."
[21:05] Navesi says, "Mother Whiteburn (Banned) requests permission to travel through Therengian territory to Muspar'i, in order to visit her family there. She has remained faithful to the terms of her banishment and promises not to linger in the Baron's territory beyond where she is permitted to go."
[21:05] Gyfford says, "Granted."
[21:05] Navesi says, "Thank you, Your Grace. I will inform her."
[21:05] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly asks, "How often and with or without escort?"
[21:06] Gyfford says, "Excuse me."
[21:06] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "Her travel through Theren."
[21:06] Gyfford says, "That's not for you to question."
[21:06] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "As you wish Your Grace."
[21:07] Gyfford says, "Give em an inch."
[21:07] Gyfford says, "Then they want to rule."
[21:07] Gyfford asks Navesi, "Was that all you required?"
[21:08] Nythaniel says, "Malakye would like to speak."
[21:08] Malakye pompously says, "Thank you, Lord Baron. Malakye Augustawne, Owner and Stylist for Augstawne Lefns Cehs in Riverhaven. The best clothing shop in all of Elanthia."
[21:08] Malakye says, "I know it's some weird words, it's the language of my people. Let's not dwell on it."
[21:09] Malakye regretfully says, "Your Grace, forgive me if you may find this request insignificant in light of the tragedy facing the Northern Houses."
[21:09] Gyfford says, "I might."
[21:09] Malakye says, "However, being as the guards of these lands are under your directions, I have a small request to make concerning them. If I may be so bold, Lord Baron."
[21:09] Gyfford says, "I know there's a request in there somewhere."
[21:09] Malakye says, "Say I and other shopkeepers who make trade under your protection, would desire that the guards in Riverhaven do a service of escorting our customers to the stores."
[21:10] Malakye says, "I have seen this work in Zoluren and it is effective in guiding visitors to wares. Of course, the more money spent in your land is a benefit to you, so I appeal to this side of your nature."
[21:10] Malakye matter-of-factly asks, "I'm a Trader, what else could you expect?"
[21:10] Malakye says, "People are lazy, but even lazy people spend money. Let's help them spend that money in Therengia."
[21:10] Malakye says, "That is all, Your Grace. Thank you for hearing me."
[21:10] Gyfford says, "I'll speak to the Mayor and see what we can do."
[21:11] Malakye says, "Thank you, sir."
[21:11] Nythaniel says, "Toreakas (TG, VS) would like to speak."
[21:12] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "M'lord, we have had several runins with the necromancer known as Sepharus."
[21:12] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "He's been... digging."
[21:12] Gyfford asks, "Digging?"
[21:12] Raeyel asks, "For another body to raise?"
[21:12] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "For bones, in the keep."
[21:12] Gyfford says to Raeyel, "Excuse me."
[21:12] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "In the chapel, I mean."
[21:13] Gyfford asks, "Here in the Keep or in town?"
[21:13] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "I'm not aware of whose bones they were, but he seems to regard them as significant."
[21:13] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "In town."
[21:14] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "He's left peaceful after being confronted."
[21:14] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "But it's still rather troubling."
[21:14] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "He's mentioned osmething about a covenant? I dunno what that is."
[21:14] Gyfford asks, "I would say it's very troubling. Do we have more information?"
[21:14] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "Just that he's been digging in the chapel."
[21:15] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "We've upped our patrols and will continue to do so."
[21:15] Buluc (NW, Officer) says, "I chased him off once myself, he mentioned something about some form of power."
[21:15] Klurn (Cav, Commander) asks, "Who do you know Milord that may be buried there?"
[21:15] Gyfford says, "My father's bier is there."
[21:15] Gyfford says, "I'll kill him myself if I catch him there."
[21:15] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "Surely he wouldn't..."
[21:15] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "A headless vertebrae and a human femur."
[21:16] Sturm says, "This is not the first Necromancer found digging around the Chapel, Gustaaf (Banned)."
[21:16] Raggard (TG, Treasurer) says, "He claims it's for our own good Mlord, he seems quite mad."
[21:16] Gyfford asks, "Is that so?"
[21:16] Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council) says, "He heard noises I believe."
[21:16] Gyfford asks, "And to what good would that be?"
[21:16] Raggard (TG, Treasurer) says, "No idea Mlord."
[21:17] Gyfford exclaims, "Kill him...next!"
[21:17] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "He wants to liberate us from the Gods."
[21:17] Klurn (Cav, Commander) says, "As you wish."
[21:17] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "Typical necro craziness."
[21:17] Gyfford says, "He's never going to liberate us from the Gods."
[21:17] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says, "He said "The immortals are afraid. They have been stealing your deeds to fuel their egos. You cannot understand...but I promise you will. As soon as I find the rest."
[21:17] Gyfford says, "Sounds like it."
[21:17] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "I will send him to his judgement if I get the chance."
[21:19] Gyfford says, "Double those patrols."
[21:19] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "We will."
[21:19] Gyfford says, "I'm not sure what he's up to but we're not going to stand for digging in the church."
[21:20] Gyfford says, "And, if I have my say, that church won't exist after the new cathedral is done anyways."
[21:20] Vykanthiss (NW) asks, "New?"
[21:20] Gyfford says, "Probably something more useful, like a forge or an alchemy society. Perhaps both."
[21:20] Gyfford asks, "How many churches do we need?"
[21:21] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "For what it's worth, we won't let him dig in the forge either."
[21:21] Gyfford says, "I should think not."
[21:21] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Might need a couple extra if I keep getting tossed out."
[21:21] Gyfford says to Toreakas (TG, VS), "Thank you for the report, and please keep me informed."
[21:22] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "Yes sir."
[21:22] Nythaniel says, "Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) would like to speak."
[21:23] Gyfford says, "Maybe we put him to sleep."
[21:23] Malakye says, "Not everyone is as long-winded as me, Your Grace."
[21:23] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "Thank you, your Grace. I'd like to commend the work of the Northern Watch and Theren Guard during these latest incursions. I was surprised but not disappointed to hear of the merger and I'm glad they have decided to be strong together going forward."
[21:24] Gyfford says, "Agreed."
[21:24] Gyfford says, "Thank you, Mazrian (Black Fox, Council)."
[21:24] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "I trust Therengia is strong enough to stand against the orcs. But a threat to one must be counted a threat to all if we are to survive and thrive as a society."
[21:24] Gyfford says, "Absolutely."
[21:25] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "So I would like to offer what assistance I can, and any auxiliaries that can be raised from Zoluren, if you'll have them."
[21:25] Gyfford asks Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "When will you be joining us?"
[21:25] Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker) softly says, "And thus ends retirement."
[21:25] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "Any and all assistance will be appreciated."
[21:26] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "We can't underestimate the threat we face."
[21:26] Gyfford says to Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "Thank you. The assistance is always appreciated."
[21:26] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "Thank you, Your Grace."
[21:26] Nythaniel says, "Nefarious (Black Fox) would like to speak."
[21:27] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "M'lord, One day I woke up with a fresh mind, that the gods have showed me a new life and new way.. even though I have some recollection of unkind deeds, I have been on a personal mission to right those wrongs and make a new life."
[21:28] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "I am on the search and quest to make sense of this life of mine, and feel I have found this here."
[21:29] Gyfford says, "There has been a bit of history for you and Theren."
[21:29] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "I have come across great men and women on the battlefields out here, Ternith (NW, Commander), Rekon (NW, Deputy Commander), Buluc (NW, Officer), Bertan (NW, Officer), Felicini (TG Emeritus, Council), and toreakas."
[21:29] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "I have been told alot of history across these lands, unfortunately."
[21:30] Gyfford asks, "And what is your goal exactly? To remain in Therengia, and serve?"
[21:31] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "I'd like to use my resources and skill to the houses, these lands, my brothers and sisters and secure the future for those to come."
[21:31] Gyfford asks Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker), "Is Nefarious (Black Fox) not a member of the Black Fox?"
[21:32] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "Some of these things I do not recall."
[21:32] Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker) says to Gyfford, "He was at one time. However, recently he has made his wish known to become more prominent here in Theren. I will surely grant him his release from the Order of the Black Fox."
[21:33] Gyfford says to Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker), "Very well."
[21:33] Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker) says to Gyfford, "He was very diligent at attending events. And quite well behaved."
[21:33] Gyfford says to Nefarious (Black Fox), "I'll grant you stay, but if you lose your way, you can expect that I can help show you the way out."
[21:33] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "Yes M'lord."
[21:34] Gyfford says, "So be it."
[21:35] Nefarious (Black Fox) says, "Thank you."
[21:35] Nythaniel says, "I have no one else, m'Lord."
[21:35] Gyfford asks, "Anyone have anything else they'd like to add?"
[21:35] Ternith (NW, Commander) says, "Nothing more from me Your Grace."
[21:35] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) asks, "If I may add one thing, Your Grace?"
[21:36] Gyfford says to Galahant, "Next time, bring enough ale the whole of the province if you're going to drink on my dais."
[21:36] Toreakas (TG, VS) says, "Here here."
[21:36] Vykanthiss (NW) exclaims, "Here here!"
[21:36] Malakye says to Galahant, "Coffee, please. Thank you."
[21:36] Gyfford says to Mazrian (Black Fox, Council), "Of course."
[21:36] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "You are all invited to come down to Crossing and play Capture the Caravan in a couple days time."
[21:36] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "It's a game of teamwork and coordination that I think you'll all enjoy."
[21:36] Gyfford says, "But don't leave the province unguarded in the meantime."
[21:37] Mazrian (Black Fox, Council) says, "Of course. Thank you, your Grace."
[21:37] Navesi says, "A game designed to prepare soldiers to work together."
[21:37] Gyfford says, "Very well. If no one has anything further, then I bid you all good evening."
[21:37] Gyfford says, "Ahh. Excellent."
[21:37] Malakye says to Gyfford, "Thank you again, Your Grace."
[21:38] Cristalyn (TG Emeritus, Council) softly says to Gyfford, "My regards to Lady Athelisa, Your Grace."
[21:39] Malakye says to Gyfford, "And, sir, do let me know if there is an opening for a Trade Advisor. I have many more ideas, Your Grace."
[21:39] Gyfford says, "Thank you. I'll send it along."
[21:39] Gyfford says to Malakye, "I certainly will."
[21:39] Ternith (NW, Commander) whispers, "thank you for being here"
[21:39] Malakye says to Gyfford, "We could make so much more money, Lord Baron. So much more."
[21:39] Kaelie (Black Fox, Speaker) says to Nefarious (Black Fox), "Again, you were a pleasure to have in the Order. We will always stand behind you."
[21:40] Gyfford says, "Don't let the Chamberlain hear that."
