8: Meeting convenes

8:02: Governer Monk of 
Yew begins with the first 
report: Things have been 
rebuilt since the orc 
invasion, fires put out, all 
back to normal. Finances 
are all in order. The 
grape vines were not 
damaged in recent 
attacks, should be ready 
for the new crop. The 
King reports his potential 
distress if he couldn't 
have his regular glass (or 
three!) of Pinot with his 
nightly chess game.

8:07: Tatiana Thorn 
reports for 
Skara Brae: Skara is 
doing great, the trades 
climb, the coffers are 
full.

8:10: Governor Rain of 
Trinsic reports for the 
city of Paladins: A group 
has been hanging about at 
the Sons of the Sea. The 
King had heard something 
about a Red, White, and 
Boozy. They enjoy the 
drunk karaoke and are 
planning more such events. 
There was a scorpion 
hunt, complete with an 
impressive trophy. The 
King looks forward to 
seeing it, and suggests it 
may be given a place of 
honor in the hall.

8:14: 
Governor Wiglaf reports 
for Minoc: Minoc appears 
to be well upon first 
glance. Something seems 
odd about the last 
governor- he and a 
handful of miners are 
missing. There is a rumor 
that he absconded with 
gold from the city 
coffers- the city 
accountant is nowhere to 
be found to confirm. The 
King offers the 
assistance of lookouts and 
hunters to track down 
former governor Ziggy. 
Governor Wiglaf promises 
a report for the next 
meeting, the King states 
that stealing from the 
realm in such a dramatic 
fashion must be punished; 
Governor Monk says there 
is ample room in the jail 
of the Court of Truth. 
Further, Governor Monk 
has started a ledger to 
keep track of donations.

8:22: Governor Merlin 
reports for New 
Magincia, fresh from his 
recent re-election. Some 
"marooners" caused a 
ruckus in the local pub, 
but things have been 
otherwise quiet. 
Construction on the 
Governor's mansion 
continues due to Union 
problems. Ships offloading 
cargo have kept the 
dockworkers busy, and 
Scalis appears regularly 
around the Isle to cause 
trouble. Nothing else 
unusual to report, 
business is good and 
weather is warm.

8:26: The King thanks 
the governors for their 
continued and returning 
service, and turns the 
floor to new Governor 
Craig of Jhelom, notably 
a Mongbat governor 
(Jhelom's first?): Craig 
states that Jhelom is a 
good city, and while he is 
still getting his footing 
the human population is 
happy. He states his need 
to hire some city 
officials, accountants and 
bakers.  Governor Craig 
notes the last governor 
was a bit odd as well, 
having had a number of 
small taxidermied animals 
in his office. Many notes 
were left written in 
colored wax, including one 
wishing the new governor 
luck. Craig states a 
desire to host some 
fighting challenges in the 
duelling pit to help 
entertain the populace as 
well as to add to the 
city coffers. The King 
expresses a desire to see 
the return of some 
exciting fights to the 
pits, especially a joust.

8:33: The King thanks 
the governors, human and 
mongbat alike, and feels 
that Queen Zhah would 
have something to say of 
this.  He continues with 
some last topics to raise 
before meeting's end:

1) The King states that 
he would like to see the 
council meetings taken out 
into the world a bit, and 
asked if any governor 
would volunteer their city 
and tavern for the next 
council meeting. Governors 
Thorn and Monk both 
volunteer their cities to 
that end. The King asks 
if that would be the 
Shattered Skull in Skara 
Brae specifically, and 
proposes to host the 
next council meeting 
there, followed possibly 
next by Yew.

2) The King states that 
he will be more insistent 
about attendence for 
governor's meetings this 
term, and desires that 
word to be passed to 
absent Governors: Hagrid 
and Carraway.

3) Vesper is still without 
a Governor, and an offer 
is made to Rizan as the 
only non-councilmember in 
attendence to claim the 
post if he desires it; 
otherwise, word will be 
issued widely calling for a 
governor of that city. 
Rizan declines the offer 
in favor of a public vote 
to appoint a new 
governor. 

The King then takes 
the councilmembers to the 
courtyard, and expresses 
a desire to install 
displays honoring each city 
of the realm, perhaps a 
display that represents 
each town's people, 
history, and future. The 
Royal scribes will work 
with the Governors to 
accomplish this in the 
future. Approximately six 
paces square would be 
given, 2x3 or 3x2. The 
King would not object if 
Cove, Wind, and Serpent's 
Hold wish a display. Some 
questions follow 
about what can be 
placed, to be 
determined on a case 
by case basis (mannequins, 
etc.)

8:49: With 
no further questions from 
the governors, the King 
adjourns the meeting.
