Lord British addresses the Town Councils A few days ago, in Serpent's Hold, there was a meeting between the leaders of 4 major cities. Present were Mayor Saurun of Britain, Mayor Gargish Dragon of Yew, Mayor Orchid of Trinsic and Zym Dragon founder of Rivendell.

A written report about that meeting can be found in the Town Cryer. Here I present you the full text of all that was said at that meeting.

Lord British: Allow me to introduce Lady Laura... she is a member of the castle guard and was assigned by Sir Geoffrey to accompany me tonight. Lady Laura: *nods* A pleasure to meet such fine company. Lord British: This meeting was called on behalf of the Merchants of Britain though 'tis always a pleasure to meet those who work so hard for the good of the realm. The reason the merchants and shopkeepers are concerned is due to the conflict between the councils of Trinsic and Yew. Keuldan Vraal: *frowns* Furor: Here Here! Lord British: Caught in the middle, they are suffering. But, I have not come to lay blame nor to point fingers. Verily, I do not know enough of the events to attempt such a thing as councils of Honor and of Justice, I expect news of these troubles would be of great interest, and I do bring news, though I know not exactly what it means in the visions of the past week have been many strange and puzzling images one that came into focus though when I heard of they plight was that the wrong doing is not at the hands of any here nor of any of thy like. Seer Nikademus: *raises eyebrows*

Keuldan Vraal: *listens close* Lord British: To be certain, 'tis an outside agent of some sort I can say that with supreme certainty but I cannot divine the source. Gargish Dragon: *looks astonished* Dayel Stormcrow: *glances across the aisle* Seer Nikademus: *frowns* Lord British: It shall be up to thee to determine those who try to sabotage thy works. But the rift between thee only furthers their cause. So I strongly suggest ye put such behind ye and seek to discover thy true enemy. And to begin this... I would pardon Vice Mayor Nickola who had no part i what she was accused. Thrawn: *gasp* Emerald: *smiles* Razor: [The Phantom, TSG] Nickola: *is speechless* Keuldan Vraal: *looks relieved* Gargish Dragon: *glances at Nickola* Lord BritishSeer Nikademus shall be able to help thee, I'm certain Seer Nikademus: *blushes* Thank ye, M'lord. I shall do my best to live up to that Lord British: *smiles* I trust we can resolve this matter? Seer Nikademus: *glances at the council leaders* Saurun: Britain stands with you Majesty, as always. Keuldan Vraal: Your will be done Liege! Lord British: Ah.. the good seer has reminded me.. 'twas the Merchants of Rivendell Emerald: *nods* Thrawn: if the true culprit remains at large... I'm sure we can find them.. Orchid: I believe we can reach a sensible agreement Lord British: Good good. I had no true doubt. Ye all seem strong in the virtues and seek them truly Thrawn: though I am a bit embarassed at my decision to imprison Nickola now... Lord British: I know not the details of that trial Thrawn: *hangs his head* Lord British: but I trust ye did what ye thought was necessary Gargish Dragon: We were tricked by something evil, Justice Thrawn: indeed, it seems...

Lord British: Aye, but now that you know that.. you may now pursue and defeat that evil Orchid: I suppose we may have let our pride get in the way as well... Lord British: Perhaps so Saurun: Thou did as thy virtues lead you to believe was correct. No shame in that. Lord British: Yet, to blindly follow is not the answer either. Each virtue tempers the rest Saurun: *nods* Seer Nikademus: *listens attentively* Lord British: This is where true virtue lays, though 'tis not easily attained. Strive for such, and thou'lt not stray often nor far Seer Nikademus: Mayhap more citizens will strive toward the Virtues, m'lord Lord British: Aye Seer Nikademus: T'would be a pleasure to see Emerald: indeed it would Keuldan Vraal: Verily tis our duty to teach them to do so Xena Dragon: We need a common cause Lord British: Indeed it would Dayel Stormcrow: M'lord...do ye believe the evil come to Buc's Den is behind this conspiracy? Lord British: Nay, that is larger and deeper than thy own foe, and feel relief that it is so Dayel Stormcrow: *looks pensive* Seer Nikademus: That isn't good to hear. The Councils must solve this then, before they are beset by two evils. Emerald: *nods* Lord British: *nods* Xena Dragon: United we stand Lord British: that would be my council to thee I thank all of thee for coming here Keuldan Vraal: Our swords and lives are yours to command Lord to rid this land of evil Lord British: Lady Laura and I must adjourn to duties elsewhere Seer Nikademus: Thank ye for your time, m'lord Lady Laura: *smiles* Emerald: aye

Jovar: Hail Lord British! Hail the King! Lord British: Thank thee , Keuldan Orchid: Ay m'lord, if ever you shall require Trinsic's paladins you need only ask Draconius: Long live the King Xena Dragon: Excuse my brutality Lord British: and Thank thee all Sagramore: Long live the King Saurun: *Hail Your Majesty* Keuldan Vraal: For Yew! For Justice! For our King!! Xena Dragon: A small token of my appreciation Gargish Dragon: Long live Lord British Furo r: Long Live The King! Lord British: *smiles and chuckles Emerald: safe journies M'Lord Xena Dragon: 'Tis true Nickola: thank you my king Lord British: Thank thee, M'Lady Xena Fran-Horas: Farewell my King Lord British: We shall take our leave Lady Laura: Aye Varkyll Nialmar: Honor be with thee my king!

Lady Laura: 'tis always sharp, milord Emerald: I'm sure you're judgement will be fair Gilleandoes: hmmm Lord British: Farewell, and I wish thee luck on thy search for thy foe Sir-Cael-Caveral: May not all Necromancers be against the realm Seer Nikademus: Fare thee well. Lord British: and swift blades if it comes to such Zym Dragon: farewell Milord Emerald: tempered by compassion I hope! Keuldan Vraal: Thank you Lord fare well! Furor: All Hail Lord British!
