Dot Warner: Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you Governor Knighthawke.
Dot Warner: Britain is doing well, though our nearest neighbor, Cove, is suffering.
Dot Warner: Unfortunately, the rumors about an illness are based in fact.
Dot Warner: Several of Cove's citizens have fallen ill with something the healers do not recognize, though they believe it to be an environmental contaminates from an orcish mine.
Dot Warner: The illness' symptoms include a glassy-eyed expression, lethargy and abnormally flaky or pealing skin.
Dot Warner: Cove's Chief Healer has asked that anyone who has been to Cove and manifests those symptoms be returned to the hamlet immediately.
Dot Warner: Shipments of fresh water and supplies have been departing Britain twice a day to support Cove.
Dot Warner: We will be partnering with the Red Ankh Society to ensure they get all the help they need. *smiles*

Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks embarrassed*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aside from gettin' lost in a tunnel system, a tale I shan't bore ye with...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Though if ye see m' toe walkin' around on its own, I'd appreciate it back...
Silrien Aegnor: *blinks*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I do b'lieve I 'ave more information that may 'elp us t' discover what lies b'yond.

Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Thank ye, m'liege. I yield t' Gov'ner Aegnor.
Silrien Aegnor: Thank you, Governor Fl'Gith, and welcome back. I believe we were a bit worried when you got lost.
Silrien Aegnor: Moonglow held its Monthly Town Hall meeting this past Saturday and it was well attended.
Silrien Aegnor: Before I get to what was discussed, I wanted to give Your Majesty a book I was handed after the meeting by one of your citizens.
Silrien Aegnor: It contains ideas mostly for the Governor's of the Realm and I realize most of the ideas wouldn't fall under your jurisdiction
Silrien Aegnor: But I thought you may wish to know what your Governor's are reading.
King Blackthorn: *takes book and leafs through it a bit*
Silrien Aegnor: During the meeting, we mainly discussed tomorrow's Moonglow Zoo Benefit
Silrien Aegnor: Which will start at 3pm (CST) tomorrow. We will be meeting at the Moonglow Zoo entrance where the zookeeper takes donations
Silrien Aegnor: We will be holding a contest to see who can donate the most animals to the zoo, so that the zookeepers will
Silrien Aegnor: hopefully repair two of the exhibits.
Silrien Aegnor: As usual, the next Moonglow Town Hall will be posted as soon as I know when the next Governor's Meeting with Your Majesty is.
Silrien Aegnor: That is all I have for now, I yield to Governor Riley.
Captain Riley: thank you governor
Kysanthe: *smiles at Silrien*
Captain Riley: I’m sad to report that Skara has had a ruff time the past few weeks
Captain Riley: First, we had an old ranger put in a request to have a garden and ended up getting himself killed
Captain Riley: by the royal spies
Captain Riley: we had an invasion of daemons assault Iver's Rounding for the skull of Mondain
Captain Riley: and were in the process of declaring the former governor dead so I can legally
Captain Riley: take possession of all his assets
Tanda: *sighs*
Captain Riley: to auction off for back tax's of course
Captain Riley: on a positive note
Captain Riley: we have entered into a trade agreement
Captain Riley: to supply a colony of elfs
Captain Riley: they call themselves
Captain Riley: wintare or something like that
Captain Riley: very secretive
Martyna Z'muir: *raises a brow*
Captain Riley: for some reason
Captain Riley: but there golds good
Captain Riley: all that counts
Martyna Z'muir: *mumbles "Moron"*
Captain Riley: I yield to the lovely governor beside me
Aornis: Thank you. Vesper has been quiet, though out people are remaining vigilant given
Aornis: the delicate situation between some of the towns.
Aornis: Other than that, Vesper has nothing to report. I yield to Governor Willa
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Thank you Governor Aornis. Your Grace Yew has been quiet of late and we are thankful for the guards.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I have had time to read some stories to your young citizens the little dwagons,
Willa of the Yew-Wood: they are so sweet.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: They seem to enjoy being read to. I often encourage folk to visit them and read to them.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Or tell them stories.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: We are sad to hear about Cove and our millers are asking if perhaps loaves of bread would help the Citizens there.
Dot Warner: *nods*
Dot Warner: Every little bit helps!
Willa of the Yew-Wood: We are also hoping that perhaps Britain could send some wheat our way.
Dot Warner: I'll see to it.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: So we could mill it into some fine flour and bake some bread.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Thank you.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I'll relay that to the Millers.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *smiles*
Dot Warner: *smiles*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: We are happy to aid our citizens.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I'll also speak to the Monks and see about shipping some wine.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: That's all I have for Yew.
King Blackthorn: Thank you to all the governors for keeping me informed about your towns and cities.
King Blackthorn: Our Minister of Security, Magnus Grey, shall now speak.
Magnus Grey: Your majesty. Governors.
Tanda: *nods to Magnus Grey*
Magnus Grey: I would like to report that the Black Badge criminal syndicate has been dealt with.
Magnus Grey: Their leadership fell at Bordermarch and in Skara Brae.
Magnus Grey: The rest of the group was either killed or arrested at those two locations.
Magnus Grey: Unfortunately, the fortress of Bordermarch suffered some damage.
Magnus Grey: But Sir Sentri is working to solve those issues.
Magnus Grey: Unfortunately, a new threat has appeared.
Magnus Grey: A mage named Zumar, the son of one Ramuz, former host to a Shadowlord.
Magnus Grey: This Zumar has taken to stealing valuable relics for some purpose related to his father's legacy.
Magnus Grey: He uncovered the necklace called Mondain's Embrace.
Silrien Aegnor: *Sits up*
Magnus Grey: We were able to stop him and agents of Minax from making off with that relic.
Magnus Grey: It now sits in a safe and secure location.
Magnus Grey: However, Zumar was able to remove the Skull of Mondain from the Ethereal Void's Shrine
Magnus Grey: We believe such a dangerous artifact being at large is problematic.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *gasps*
Captain Riley: and made a mess of Skara in the process
Magnus Grey: Agents of Minax have already begun searching for the relic.
DaKaren: *sighs*
Silrien Aegnor: *Leans her elbows on the table*
Magnus Grey: We hope to get ahead of them, but we will need Your Majesty's help to protect it.
Magnus Grey: We do not believe Minax herself is making any move on Trammel.
Magnus Grey: But we will keep an eye on the situation.
Magnus Grey: Dealing with Zumar seems important. Hopefully, when we recover the skull,
Magnus Grey: He can also be dealt with.
Magnus Grey: There are currently no other new security matters of note.
Magnus Grey: Any questions?
King Blackthorn: Thank you, Minister Grey.
King Blackthorn: Governor Kitty, would you like to report on the state of New Magincia?
Miss Kitty: Nothing new at this point.
King Blackthorn: *nods*
Miss Kitty: Sorry for the tardiness
King Blackthorn: *nods and reviews notes*
King Blackthorn: Now I shall respond to the State of the Towns and the National Security briefing.
King Blackthorn: Governor Jameison, I am glad Jhelom is enjoying quiet times,
King Blackthorn: and increased trade.
King Blackthorn: I wish you luck with your naval exercises and in the hunt for pirates.
King Blackthorn: Governor Kitty, I am pleased hear that all is peaceful in New Magincia.
King Blackthorn: Governor Knighthawke, I am pleased that all is well in Minoc,
King Blackthorn: and that the town is using its time of peace and prosperity to help others.
King Blackthorn: Governor Warner, thank you for the update on the situation in Cove.
King Blackthorn: It is good that my capital city is assisting Cove's citizens.
King Blackthorn: On a lighter note, I wish luck to the participants in the regatta.
King Blackthorn: Governor Fl'Gith, *pauses* I... uh, wish you luck in the search for your toe.
King Blackthorn: *thinks* As well as with your other goals and activities.
King Blackthorn: *looks at his notes*
King Blackthorn: Governor Aegnor, I am pleased that Moonglow's Town Hall went well.
King Blackthorn: Thank you for the book. I shall read it after the summit.
Silrien Aegnor: *Smiles and nods*
King Blackthorn: I hope that tomorrow's Royal Zoo event goes well. Such a delightful place!
Silrien Aegnor: *grins*
King Blackthorn: Governor Riley, I am distressed to hear that things are not well in Skara Brae.
King Blackthorn: Many of the other towns are enjoying peaceful times and are quite helpful.
King Blackthorn: Perhaps you could ask them for advice on how best to improve your town.
King Blackthorn: I shall pass along your concern about your citizen's gardening problems
King Blackthorn: to the Minister of Agriculture.
King Blackthorn: Governor Aornis, I am pleased that things are going well in Vesper.
King Blackthorn: Governor Willa, I am glad that the guards have provided the protection Yew sought.
King Blackthorn: Ah, the delightful little dragons. I too enjoy visiting them. *smiles*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: How nice that Yew and Britain are working together to help Cove.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Very pleased they live in Yew.
King Blackthorn: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: Now we turn to requests from governors.
King Blackthorn: A governor may only place two requests per term.
King Blackthorn: I urge governors to consider their requests carefully.
King Blackthorn: In addition, a governor may request an old-style bulletin board for their town.
King Blackthorn: This does not count against your two requests per term.
King Blackthorn: Governor Warner of Britain requested a bulletin board this month.
King Blackthorn: It has been placed.
King Blackthorn: Governor Knighthawke also requested a bulletin board.
King Blackthorn: The request has been passed along to the builders.
King Blackthorn: As Governor Knighthawke requested last month,
King Blackthorn: this evening there shall be a summit at Bordermarch.
Tanda: *smiles and nods*
King Blackthorn: There will be a gate from this council room at 9 p.m. CDT, or after the meeting.
King Blackthorn: Now we shall open the floor to new issues.
King Blackthorn: Governors may present any new issues first.
Tanda: *raises hand*
King Blackthorn: Go ahead, Governor Knighthawke
Tanda: Your Majesty, in the process of work on this treaty
Tanda: the awareness of contracts for trade or sale
Tanda: and the possibility of servitude in the realm
Tanda: came to the forefront
Tanda: I would respectfully like to ask
Tanda: that such be abolished in the realm
Tanda: before
Tanda: we ask Nujel'm
Tanda: to change
Tanda: (Indentured servitude)
Tanda: unless I misunderstood something
King Blackthorn: *considers the question*
King Blackthorn: While some may buy such contracts in other lands, such bindings hold no force in Britannia.
Matthias O'Hare: *scratches bearded chin*
King Blackthorn: The contracts shall not be enforced by anyone who works for the Crown.
King Blackthorn: Nor by any other of my subjects.
Tanda: Thank you your Majesty
King Blackthorn: *smiles* Thank you for bringing up the issue so I could clarify my stance.
Matthias O'Hare: *golf claps*
Tanda: *nods*
Tanda: Your Grace
King Blackthorn: Are there any other new issues from my governors?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shakes his head*
King Blackthorn: Now citizens may present new issues.
King Blackthorn: Does any citizen wish to ask a question or make a comment?
Matthias O'Hare: *raises hand*
King Blackthorn: If there are no further issues, we shall adjourn.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Thank you your Grace.
King Blackthorn: Thank you to all the governors present for a very productive Council meeting.
