Crisis; Fresh word arrives.

[Guillaume]

News spreads like wildfire across dry grass. By noon, Lothbury couriers have been dispatched -- in pairs, that being a necessary precaution now. Should one fall, the other may yet have haste and strength enough to reach the Councilor's door...


[INDENT]I, Giscard Guillaume, Lord of Lothbury Estate, Councilor of the Myrken Wood Judiciary In Regards To Commerce and Trade, Interim Governor Etc., to Coriolanus Helstone, the Councilor of Administrative Sanctions; to His Honour Suede Roschen, the Councilor of Agriculture; to His Honour Kerrak al'Nerun, the Councilor of Defence and Civil Security: Greetings.

A bad situation has now become an intolerable one. Assistance in the form of funds, supplies and manpower has been promised the Rememdium; this act ignores all semblence of protocol, for which crime I will gladly answer -- after the present threefold threat has been vanquished.

Councilor al'Nerun, the Brotherhood must be prepared for the work yet to come; some must be dispatched to ensure that the newly-deceased are cremated. An assessment must be made of the Militia's readiness, should their strength be required.

Councilor Roschen, my personal thanks for your thoughtful gift. It is my hope that your talents may be put to more productive uses now: information is once more key. I suggest that you begin by petitioning Lady O'Cynen; our crops may be in immediate danger.

Councilor Helstone, I will require your attention to detail. Funds must be procured for the endeavours which lie ahead. Supplies must be purchased and delivered. Your immediate business must be the handling of logistics, without which we gring to a halt and perish.

Gentlemen, these are no small tasks... but we are now entering a time of crisis. Do what you can; do not travel alone under any circumstances. We meet two nights from now.


Done by my hand at the Estates of Lothbury, this 13th day of May,
Giscard Guillaume.[/INDENT]
