Princess Rhista: Hello everyone.
John: Oh dear.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *looks up*
Kittie: *looks puzzled!*
Norman Arminger: hmmm
Princess Rhista: King Blackthorn has asked me to run this meeting in his absence.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Um....
Goldie: good evening Princess
Dot Warner: *looks up*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *checks*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: No I am in Britain.
Kittie: *frowns and folds her arms*
Princess Rhista: He believed it would be useful experience.
Kittie: Is the King at least okay?
Dot Warner: Ah... He is wise to avoid Governors Kittie and Yew-wood tonight..
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *sighs sadly*
Princess Rhista: King Blackthorn and my mother are dealing with an important matter.
Kittie: I see.. *frowns deeply*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *frowns*
Princess Rhista: I cannot say more.
Princess Rhista: Unfortunately I was not told the details of the matter.
John: Oh dear.
John: *chuckling and shaking his head, while maintaining alertness*
Princess Rhista: Oh, someone has left something to eat. Thank you!
Willa of the Yew-Wood: You're quite welcome.
Princess Rhista: *nibbles and looks over a sheet of paper*
John: Anything for the royal guest, princess.
Princess Rhista: Looking at the agenda...
Princess Rhista: As for Communication, I believe you all know how to contact your king.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Yes.
Tanda: *nods*
Kittie: *nods*
Princess Rhista: At the moment, his royal secretary will handle all matters.
Princess Rhista: Any questions on communication?

Princess Rhista: Very well, moving on.

Willa of the Yew-Wood: *raises hand*
Princess Rhista: Yes, Governor Willa
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I could go first.
Princess Rhista: Thank you.
Princess Rhista: That would be great.
Princess Rhista: *takes out a sheet of parchment for notes*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Thank you Dear Rhista.... Though I must ask... What is the proper way to address you?
Princess Rhista: Mother would say Your Royal Highness on first address, then "ma'am"
Princess Rhista: I'm not as formal as she is.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: How about M'Lady Rhista?
Princess Rhista: If you like.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Very well. Thank you M'Lady Rhista.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Yew fairs quite well... our coffers seem to be flourishing... and the grapes are ripening.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: I looking forward to another bountiful harvest of grapes for the making of wine....
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Other than that I haven't anything else and I'll yield to Governor Aornis of Vesper.

Willa of the Yew-Wood: *frowns furrowing her brow*
Thom Jameison: *smiles*
Farimer Tensus: that is all at this time and I yield the floor to Governor Kittie
Kittie: Thank you Governor, your Highness, Moonglow is doing quite well. Partnering with New Magincia with the net toss, making it a great success. The coffers seem to be nearing million, so all seems to be doing quite well in Moonglow.

Tanda: Thank you Governor Warner
Tanda: Your Highness
Tanda: Minoc spent the last few weeks, investigating labor issues
Tanda: a group of citizens were gracious enough
Tanda: to assist, we found
Tanda: many wingless gargoyles, orcs, humans and elves
Tanda: who had been hijacked or tricked into
Tanda: working in the mines
Tanda: with men barking orders, snapping whips
Tanda: and depriving them of basic needs
Tanda: sadly most of those men were run off or killed
Tanda: so we are not quite sure who is behind it, but they will be driven
Tanda: from my city before I will allow slavery
Tanda: that is all, I yield the floor
Goldie: Thank you lady Tanda
Goldie: I wish to thank Governor Kitty in our co sponsored Net toss

Norman Arminger: hmm thank you Governor Goldie
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *looks up*
Princess Rhista: *counts*
Princess Rhista: I believe we didn't hear from Jhelom?
Thom Jameison: I guess it is my turn
Princess Rhista: *smiles at Thom*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Maybe Governor Arminger didn't remember he'd spoken already.

Princess Rhista: *smiles*

Thom Jameison: We have established a consulate in Skara Brae
Farimer Tensus: *smiles*
Thom Jameison: This will not only help out trade with our sister city but will also
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Thom Jameison: help us offer protection.
Thom Jameison: Protection that we can also offer to Minoc Governor Knighthawke.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Thom Jameison: If you are having issues with the treatment of workers
Norman Arminger: *hic*

Princess Rhista: Thank you all.
Princess Rhista: *looks at agenda*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: I will respond later on.
Princess Rhista: But first, Four - National Security
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Minister Grey provided a page of notes on this.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: *takes out pages*
Princess Rhista: To His Majesty's Governors and Guest:
Princess Rhista: Our forces have recovered the last of the Moonstones of Vice.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: The Moonstone of Despise was recovered from Dardin's Pit under Death Gulch.
Princess Rhista: It was held by an order called the Dark Monks.
Princess Rhista: The Dark Monks had issue with King Blackthorn, but are no longer a threat.
Princess Rhista: Death Gulch remains under surveillance.
Princess Rhista: The next issue is finding a way to destroy or neutralize the Moonstones.
Princess Rhista: For that, a group of knowledgeable individuals has been gathered.
Princess Rhista: They are Harriet, Thoxa, Lady Tessa, Ankuasvidlem, and Adelais.
Princess Rhista: Harriet the Scribe is an important scribe at the Lycaeum.
Princess Rhista: Ankuasvidlem is a gargoyle seer who helped Britannia during the Virtuebane crisis.
Princess Rhista: Adelais the Seer is a Platinum Dragon who handles their interactions with the outside world.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Lady Tessa is an old friend of Lord Blackthorn who has some knowledge of mystic relics.
Princess Rhista: Thoxa is a young Xenkan Monk who was helpful in dealing with the Moonstone of Wrong.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Hopefully, these five will present options on how to destroy the Moonstones.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: The Ministry of Security is also keeping an eye on the Time Lord's work.
Princess Rhista: Related to this, Mariah of Moonglow will be speaking tomorrow evening.
Princess Rhista: Also on this matter, included is the current report from the king's security detail:
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: *looks confused*
Princess Rhista: *turns over the paper*
Princess Rhista: *shows the blank page to the governors*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Kittie: *blinks*
Princess Rhista: Oh dear. I think I lost a page.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
John: We shall hope, Princess, that this merely means
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
John: the matter has been, as they say in that trade, redacted.
Princess Rhista: Ah, hopefully that is the case.
Princess Rhista: I will speak to Minister Grey after the meeting.
Princess Rhista: *frowns*
Princess Rhista: I will now offer my own response in place of the King's.
Dot Warner: *looks at Arminger*
Princess Rhista: Governor Willa, I'm glad that both your coffers and harvest is bountiful.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: It seems a wonder to me that food is so plentiful that so much is turned into wine.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Such drink, zu-mir and kor-mir is much rarer in Ter Mur with our necessary rationing.
Princess Rhista: I look forward to trying a bottle of this year's vintage.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Governor Aornis, I'm glad that your city is so prosperous and happy.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Aornis: *nods in thanks*
Princess Rhista: The trade between the Britannian cities is amazing to watch from the sky.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: I only wish the trade routes stretched further to Ter Mur.
Princess Rhista: Something I must discuss with the king...
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Governor Farimer Tensus, I'm glad things are better with Jhelom.
Farimer Tensus: *nods*
Princess Rhista: I had heard that there was tension between the two cities.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Seeing how quickly it has been resolved gives me hope for our own tensions.
Farimer Tensus: *nods*
Farimer Tensus: *smiles*
Princess Rhista: Governor Kittie, I'm glad your partnership with New Magincia has gone so very well.
Princess Rhista: Your coffers are also very impressive.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Kittie: thank you your Highness *smiles*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Governor Norman Arminger, I am told that most gargoyles find your walled city very lovely.
Norman Arminger: *smiles drunkenly*
Princess Rhista: I'm glad such strong construction has helped create peace and prosperity.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Governor Dot Warner, I hope Cove gets the aid it needs.
Princess Rhista: Though I am well aware that Britannian healing is second to none.
Dot Warner: *smiles*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Do you believe the issues you mentioned with the mages are related to Cove's problems?
Princess Rhista: Or something else?
Dot Warner: That I am not sure of...
Dot Warner: *frowns*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: I hope you find the cause or connection then.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Dot Warner: *nods*
Princess Rhista: Congratulations on your competition as well.
Princess Rhista: Contests of strength are an important part of any society.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Dot Warner: Thank you, ma'am.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Competition increases both Control and Passion and Diligence.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Governor Tanda, I'm sorry to hear of the problems in your city.
Tanda: Thank you
Princess Rhista: Though your work to fight such problems is to be commended.
Norman Arminger: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Mistreatment of the less fortunate is a terrible problem.
Princess Rhista: Sadly Ter Mur sometimes mistreats its wingless population.
Princess Rhista: I hope your investigation goes well and the culprit caught.
Tanda: Thank you we'll do our best
Princess Rhista: I will keep an eye on this matter to see how you handle the eventual justice.
Tanda: *grins*
Princess Rhista: Governor Goldie, I'm glad you have events that celebrate the bounty of your sea.
Princess Rhista: It is also great that you worked with another island on this.
Goldie: thank you your highness
Princess Rhista: Books tell us that Ter Mur once had an ocean, but none alive remember it.
Princess Rhista: Thom Jameison, providing defense to the other cities is a noble end.
Princess Rhista: Hopefully this will insure that Jhelom's legacy is secure and well provided for.
Princess Rhista: I am not entirely sure how to respond to the Security Report.
Princess Rhista: I will speak with Ankuasvidlem when the matter is resolved and he returns home.
Princess Rhista: However, after seeing one of the Moonstones in person,
Princess Rhista: I am very glad that Britannia is working toward a permanent solution.
Kittie: *ears perk* moonstone?
John: Governor...
John: *glaring at Kittie*
Kittie: *ears go back as she slinks in her seat*
Princess Rhista: This group of seers seems a very good idea as well.
Princess Rhista: I don't know all of those involved, but it must have been difficult selecting them.
Princess Rhista: How did you decide on these if I may ask?
Tanda: With lots of debate
John: *nods*
John: Deliberatively.
Tanda: skill balanced against risk
Princess Rhista: That is very interesting. While some of my mother's advisors debate, in the end, mother decides.
Princess Rhista: A balance of ability and risk. Interesting.
Princess Rhista: We had similar issues with our kings of old.
Princess Rhista: Some had great ability, but dangerous behaviors and approaches to problems.
Tanda: *nods*
Princess Rhista: *takes notes*
Princess Rhista: Something to keep in mind.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Now we turn to requests from governors.
Princess Rhista: King Blackthorn said that these are now handled by Lady Wraith.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
John: *sighing and shaking head*
Princess Rhista: So I guess we move on to New Issues.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Does anyone have any new issues to be raised?
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Does anyone have questions for me? It seems only fair.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Since I have gotten to ask mine.
Kittie: Princess Rhista?
Tanda: Will you be in the city long?
Princess Rhista: On that matter, I am not entirely sure.
Kittie: Do... Do you know if the King .. has .. affections towards anyone? .. or.. maybe.. a hint? *blushes*
Dot Warner: *facepalms*
Princess Rhista: Your King Blackthorn asked for me to remain here until he or my mother returns.
John: *chuckling softly*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: He believed that this was the place to be to observe important events.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: I believe the King greatly cares for all of his subjects, Governor Kittie.
Kittie: *nods* But.. I mean .. more so.. than most?
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *sighs*
Dot Warner: Heckles...
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
John: *sighing loudly*
Kittie: I.. I guess I mean .. if, he ... loves.. as in .. love-loves .. someone.. ? *blushes*
John: *shaking his head*
Princess Rhista: I have no idea.
Kittie: *frowns* .. I see..
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: That's a question for his Majesty the King.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Kittie: *smiles and blushes* Y-Yes M'lady.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: What would a Gargoyle Princess know of his love life?
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: Any other questions?
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *wipes brow*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: *shakes head*
Farimer Tensus: Thank you Governor
Princess Rhista: If not, than I would like to thank all of you.
Princess Rhista: I have learned so much.
Kittie: Thank you Princess..
Tanda: Blessed Be Your Highness
Farimer Tensus: *nods*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: While Britannia seems very an-ord.
Princess Rhista: It actually is very productive in how tasks are managed.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Tanda: We do try
Princess Rhista: People choosing the tasks they have a passion for rather than those assigned to them.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Perhaps you learned some of the Governing of many various cities.
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Ter Mur as I understand only has two.
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Willa of the Yew-Wood: Oh dear....
Farimer Tensus: *hic*
Princess Rhista: With that, I bring this meeting to a close!
Princess Rhista: Thank you, Governors.
Aornis: Thank you, Princess
Princess Rhista: *bows her head*
