Magnus Grey: We are in the midst of a crime spree.
Magnus Grey: There was an attack on Trinsic jail last month.
Magnus Grey: While no prisoners escaped, several guards were hurt.
Magnus Grey: And the jail's records were destroyed.
Magnus Grey: Yew's records also seem to have been rifled but not outright destroyed.
Magnus Grey: Several criminal groups have also emerged in recent months:
Magnus Grey: Brigands, pirates, and even some assassins from Sanctuary.
Pei-mei: sounds interesting
Magnus Grey: Many of them have had connections with the same underworld group.
Magnus Grey: So far, not much is known about this third party,
Magnus Grey: Beyond a connection to smuggling and shipping.
Magnus Grey: The only identified member is a man named Leavell.
Martyna Z'muir: *coughs*
Magnus Grey: The group is lead by someone known only as "S."
Magnus Grey: Based on some information collected from one pirate crew,
Magnus Grey: This group plans to expand into Vesper and Nujel'm soon.
Magnus Grey: We will provide more information as we have it.
Magnus Grey: The Royal Ministry is looking into the matter.
Magnus Grey: Any questions?
Abaddon: nay
Magnus Grey: Thank you for your time.
King Blackthorn: My thanks to Minister Grey.
Tanda: Blessed Be M'lord
King Blackthorn: Now I shall respond to the State of the Towns.
King Blackthorn: Governor Jameison, I am pleased that Jhelom is prospering.
King Blackthorn: Your precautions against piracy seem wise.
King Blackthorn: How wonderful to see Jhelom and its sister city Skara Brae working together.
Martyna Z'muir: *looks over and sighs*
King Blackthorn: Governor Shamanass, welcome to the Council. *smiles*
King Blackthorn: It is good to hear that all is well in beautiful New Magincia.
Spartacus: Hail
King Blackthorn: Governor Knighthawke, the Yule Journey sounds delightful.
King Blackthorn: Governor Warner, I am pleased that my capital city continues well.
Tanda: *nods*
Dot Warner: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: Governor Mortaul, welcome to the Council. *smiles*
King Blackthorn: I am pleased that Trinsic's treasury is healthy.
King Blackthorn: Governor Nemesis, welcome to the Council. *smiles*
Abaddon: Go Moonglow!
Pei-mei: wowoooo
King Blackthorn: I wish you luck with your plans.
Spartacus: *claps*
King Blackthorn: Governor Tensus, it gladdens me to know that Skara Brae is thriving and healing.
Farimer Tensus: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: As I mentioned, it pleases me to see Skara Brae and Jhelom working together.
Spartacus: *salutes*
King Blackthorn: I fear Governor Aornis had to step out for a moment.
Captain Murphy:
King Blackthorn: Perhaps it may take her a few moments to return. It is a very large castle.
Abaddon: thats an understatement
Captain Murphy: hehe
King Blackthorn: Well, it is good to hear of the old traditions being kept up, such as the Walrus Festival.
Captain Murphy: lil bigger then brits
King Blackthorn: *grins* Is it? I hadn't noticed.
Captain Murphy: lol
Pei-mei: lol
King Blackthorn: *looks at notes*
Abaddon: *smirks*
Spartacus: hehe
King Blackthorn: Govenor Willa, I shall mention the next time I am at the Library of Scars,
King Blackthorn: that the guards they sent to Yew have been so helpful. *smiles*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: Now we turn to requests from governors.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: They are I'm very, very grateful for them
Spartacus: *raises hand*
King Blackthorn: Spartacus, citizens may speak during the New Issues section of the meeting.
Spartacus: *nods*
King Blackthorn: Now we turn to requests from governors.
King Blackthorn: Governors may make a reasonable number of requests per term.
King Blackthorn: I urge governors to consider their requests carefully.
King Blackthorn: It will take two to three weeks after a governor's request is _approved_ for it to be fulfilled.
King Blackthorn: That reflects the standard two weeks it takes for even my kingly requests to be fulfilled,
King Blackthorn: plus a one week buffer in case anything goes wrong.
King Blackthorn: If your event depends on your request being granted and fulfilled,
King Blackthorn: it would be wisest not to schedule that event before you have _approval_ for your request.
King Blackthorn: Also, governor may request an old-style bulletin board for their town.
King Blackthorn: The bulletin boards are usually put up fairly quickly.
King Blackthorn: This month, there was a request from Governor Aornis of Vesper for an office.
King Blackthorn: The office has been built and looks very nice.
King Blackthorn: We now have offices for all nine governors.
King Blackthorn: Now we shall open the floor to new issues.
King Blackthorn: Governors may present any new issues first.
King Blackthorn: Now citizens may present new issues.
King Blackthorn: Spartacus, please go ahead.
Captain Murphy: all u bro
Pei-mei: yeah
Spartacus: hello your majesty....the citizens were wondering if
Spartacus: there will be special city brews made for the festivals?
Captain Murphy: like city made brew?
King Blackthorn: I don't quite understand the question. What festivals?
Spartacus: yes like city made brews
Spartacus: asking in relative to gov's having brews made for the holidays
Spartacus: ?
Spartacus: maybe would be nice
Tanda: oh!
Spartacus: for some of the cold weather
King Blackthorn: Ah, you're asking if the governors would like to make special brews for the holidays?
Spartacus: coming in
Captain Murphy: like city name brew
Farimer Tensus: We can Spartacus
Requi Mortaul: That can be arranged *grins*
Spartacus: yes yes with their names on em

King Blackthorn: *smiles* That is a lovely idea, but is up to each governor.

Abaddon: One would like to know how get a beard like yours
Abaddon: to get*

King Blackthorn: Thank you, but I can't take full credit for this magnificent beard.
King Blackthorn: I seem to have inherited it from my great-grandfather.
Abaddon: ahhh well...thank you for your time your majesty...*bows*
King Blackthorn: *nods and smiles*
Abaddon: majesty*
King Blackthorn: Does any other governor or citizen have a new issue to discuss?
Captain Murphy:
Sally Sweet: Your Majesty, honorable governors, *curtsies*
Spartacus: =]
Willa of the Yew-Wood: It is a fine Beard Your Majesty.
Sally Sweet: *sighs* I stand before you today with a heavy heart.
Captain Murphy:
Sally Sweet: I have long served as the mayor of my beloved adopted city of Vesper.
Sally Sweet: I feel that today I must offer my resignation to my dear Vesper.
Abaddon: *gasps*
Spartacus: !?
Captain Murphy: aww
Sally Sweet: *nods humbly towards the assembled governors*
Sally Sweet: Having recently discovered my noble roots, I feel that I must move...
Sally Sweet: To the capital city, Britain, and try to live as my noble ancestors would have wished.
Tanda: *places hand on my chest*
Dot Warner: *arches a brow*
King Blackthorn: *glances at a thick pile of files that bear the imprint of the Minister of Security*
King Blackthorn: Hmm, I see, and will the crew of your "sailing" vessel be moving with you?
Sally Sweet: Your Majesty, each sailor was told to do as he or she wished..
Sally Sweet: Half have chosen to stay with me as my retinue and servants,
Sally Sweet: to live in luxury, with soft sheets, regular meals, beautiful flowers,
Martyna Z'muir: *coughs "Pirate" coughs*
Sally Sweet: and a house that doesn't rock with every wave! *sighs happily*
Sally Sweet: The other half of my dear sailing chums have unaccountably chosen to return to sea.
Sally Sweet: They elected a new captain and... continue their sailing activities.
King Blackthorn: *seems to consider this*
King Blackthorn: *mutters to himself* Haven't seen this before...
Thom Jameison: stay away from Jhelom *frowns*
King Blackthorn: *mutters to himself* Some people try to reform themselves, but to reform half the crew...
Dot Warner: *snickers quietly*
King Blackthorn: Hmm...
King Blackthorn: So you wish to live nobly?
Sally Sweet: Yes, Your Majesty, I have already purchased a mansion and look forward to decorating it.
King Blackthorn: Of course, that may take some time, with all the charitable work you'll wish to undertake.
Sally Sweet: *looks confused* Why would I want to do something for nothing?
King Blackthorn: It is what most true nobles choose to do with their time.
King Blackthorn: Look at many of the charitable organizations in any town and you'll see
King Blackthorn: dukes, duchesses, earls, baronesses, and so on heading up the efforts,
Tanda: *grins*
King Blackthorn: So, of course, you wish to do the same.
Captain Murphy:
Sally Sweet: *looks frustrated* But... parties! Balls! Gowns and tiaras!
Sally Sweet: Footmen bringing me things on silver platters!
Tanda: *laughs*
King Blackthorn: No, no, dear lady, noblesse oblige!
King Blackthorn: A true noble acts with generosity towards those less fortunate.
Spartacus: aye!
Sally Sweet: *gnashes her teeth* As you wish, Your Majesty, I... shall do this "charitable" work. *frowns*
Captain Murphy: gimme
King Blackthorn: Very good. My secretary Easton has prepared a list for you of appropriate charities.
Abaddon: she seemed lovely
Pei-mei: sorry i must leave early
King Blackthorn: Are there any other new issues to be addressed this evening?
Captain Murphy: aye a doll indeed
King Blackthorn: If there are no further issues, we shall adjourn.

King Blackthorn: How wonderful to see Jhelom and its sister city Skara Brae working together.
Martyna Z'muir: *looks over and sighs*
King Blackthorn: Governor Shamanass, welcome to the Council. *smiles*
King Blackthorn: It is good to hear that all is well in beautiful New Magincia.
Spartacus: Hail
King Blackthorn: Governor Knighthawke, the Yule Journey sounds delightful.
King Blackthorn: Governor Warner, I am pleased that my capital city continues well.
Tanda: *nods*
Dot Warner: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: Governor Mortaul, welcome to the Council. *smiles*
King Blackthorn: I am pleased that Trinsic's treasury is healthy.
King Blackthorn: Governor Nemesis, welcome to the Council. *smiles*
Abaddon: Go Moonglow!
Pei-mei: wowoooo
King Blackthorn: I wish you luck with your plans.
Spartacus: *claps*
King Blackthorn: Governor Tensus, it gladdens me to know that Skara Brae is thriving and healing.
Farimer Tensus: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: As I mentioned, it pleases me to see Skara Brae and Jhelom working together.
Spartacus: *salutes*
King Blackthorn: I fear Governor Aornis had to step out for a moment.
Captain Murphy:
King Blackthorn: Perhaps it may take her a few moments to return. It is a very large castle.
Abaddon: thats an understatement
Captain Murphy: hehe
King Blackthorn: Well, it is good to hear of the old traditions being kept up, such as the Walrus Festival.
Captain Murphy: lil bigger then brits
King Blackthorn: *grins* Is it? I hadn't noticed.
Captain Murphy: lol
Pei-mei: lol
King Blackthorn: *looks at notes*
Abaddon: *smirks*
Spartacus: hehe
King Blackthorn: Govenor Willa, I shall mention the next time I am at the Library of Scars,
King Blackthorn: that the guards they sent to Yew have been so helpful. *smiles*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *smiles*
King Blackthorn: Now we turn to requests from governors.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: They are I'm very, very grateful for them
Spartacus: *raises hand*
King Blackthorn: Spartacus, citizens may speak during the New Issues section of the meeting.
Spartacus: *nods*
King Blackthorn: Now we turn to requests from governors.
King Blackthorn: Governors may make a reasonable number of requests per term.
King Blackthorn: I urge governors to consider their requests carefully.
King Blackthorn: It will take two to three weeks after a governor's request is _approved_ for it to be fulfilled.
King Blackthorn: That reflects the standard two weeks it takes for even my kingly requests to be fulfilled,
King Blackthorn: plus a one week buffer in case anything goes wrong.
King Blackthorn: If your event depends on your request being granted and fulfilled,
King Blackthorn: it would be wisest not to schedule that event before you have _approval_ for your request.
King Blackthorn: Also, governor may request an old-style bulletin board for their town.
King Blackthorn: The bulletin boards are usually put up fairly quickly.
King Blackthorn: This month, there was a request from Governor Aornis of Vesper for an office.
King Blackthorn: The office has been built and looks very nice.
King Blackthorn: We now have offices for all nine governors.
King Blackthorn: Now we shall open the floor to new issues.
King Blackthorn: Governors may present any new issues first.
King Blackthorn: Now citizens may present new issues.
King Blackthorn: Spartacus, please go ahead.
Captain Murphy: all u bro
Pei-mei: yeah
Spartacus: hello your majesty....the citizens were wondering if

Abaddon: majesty*
King Blackthorn: Does any other governor or citizen have a new issue to discuss?

Willa of the Yew-Wood: It is a fine Beard Your Majesty.
Sally Sweet: *sighs* I stand before you today with a heavy heart.
Captain Murphy:
Sally Sweet: I have long served as the mayor of my beloved adopted city of Vesper.
Sally Sweet: I feel that today I must offer my resignation to my dear Vesper.
Abaddon: *gasps*
Spartacus: !?
Captain Murphy: aww
Sally Sweet: *nods humbly towards the assembled governors*
Sally Sweet: Having recently discovered my noble roots, I feel that I must move...
Sally Sweet: To the capital city, Britain, and try to live as my noble ancestors would have wished.
Tanda: *places hand on my chest*
Dot Warner: *arches a brow*
King Blackthorn: *glances at a thick pile of files that bear the imprint of the Minister of Security*
King Blackthorn: Hmm, I see, and will the crew of your "sailing" vessel be moving with you?
Sally Sweet: Your Majesty, each sailor was told to do as he or she wished..
Sally Sweet: Half have chosen to stay with me as my retinue and servants,
Sally Sweet: to live in luxury, with soft sheets, regular meals, beautiful flowers,
Martyna Z'muir: *coughs "Pirate" coughs*
Sally Sweet: and a house that doesn't rock with every wave! *sighs happily*
Sally Sweet: The other half of my dear sailing chums have unaccountably chosen to return to sea.
Sally Sweet: They elected a new captain and... continue their sailing activities.
King Blackthorn: *seems to consider this*
King Blackthorn: *mutters to himself* Haven't seen this before...
Thom Jameison: stay away from Jhelom *frowns*
King Blackthorn: *mutters to himself* Some people try to reform themselves, but to reform half the crew...
Dot Warner: *snickers quietly*
King Blackthorn: Hmm...
King Blackthorn: So you wish to live nobly?
Sally Sweet: Yes, Your Majesty, I have already purchased a mansion and look forward to decorating it.
King Blackthorn: Of course, that may take some time, with all the charitable work you'll wish to undertake.
Sally Sweet: *looks confused* Why would I want to do something for nothing?
King Blackthorn: It is what most true nobles choose to do with their time.
King Blackthorn: Look at many of the charitable organizations in any town and you'll see
King Blackthorn: dukes, duchesses, earls, baronesses, and so on heading up the efforts,
Tanda: *grins*
King Blackthorn: So, of course, you wish to do the same.
Captain Murphy:
Sally Sweet: *looks frustrated* But... parties! Balls! Gowns and tiaras!
Sally Sweet: Footmen bringing me things on silver platters!
Tanda: *laughs*
King Blackthorn: No, no, dear lady, noblesse oblige!
King Blackthorn: A true noble acts with generosity towards those less fortunate.
Spartacus: aye!
Sally Sweet: *gnashes her teeth* As you wish, Your Majesty, I... shall do this "charitable" work. *frowns*
Captain Murphy: gimme
King Blackthorn: Very good. My secretary Easton has prepared a list for you of appropriate charities.
Abaddon: she seemed lovely
Pei-mei: sorry i must leave early
King Blackthorn: Are there any other new issues to be addressed this evening?
Captain Murphy: aye a doll indeed
King Blackthorn: If there are no further issues, we shall adjourn.
