Arranged by Sir Geoffram and transited | | through myself, signatures were assigned to the following | | conditions [loosely interpreted here for legibility's sake]: | | First, that the Knights give Maelbrim rule to the Tribunal Empire. | | Second, that the Militia Clan be relocated to Maelbrim [roughly]. | | Third, that Thalos be renovated under 75% of the Empire's funding. | | Fourth, that Knights receive pardon from past exiles and be given | | rights to a full appeal process regarding outlaw status. | | Fifth, that the terms be fulfilled within a lunar month, lest the | | entire contract be voided. | | As of this publication, Judge Hepheus has declared that | | the contract needs modification; Lord Kyris assures that the | | changes should be small and relatively painless to sculpt in, | | and that resolve is still very close at hand. | | | | )----------------------------------------------------------------( | | | | - The Hamlet Dispute Continues [Eril] | | ______ | | | fforts to free the Hamlet from Tribunal occupation continue | | |__ but in a mote less agreeable perhaps than the one between | | | the Knights and the Empire. Vulnerable due to confusion, | | |_____ the Hamlet has experienced attacks and mild militarization, | | but in no way is the term 'civil-war' applicable. Fliblin | | of the Lion's Pride has consistently turned down offers of cabal | | assistance, since his goal is to help the Halflings return to a | | state of self-reliance. When offered garrison support by Zaruuk | | (evidently representing Nexus force), Fliblin was instantaneous in | | his response: "self-reliance". Although this may not be accurate, | | it has been heard that other Warmasters of the camp including | | Dagnab and the Warlord Grylok support freeing the Hamlet as well. | | | | )----------------------------------------------------------------( | | | | - Watchers, The Careful [Eril] | | ___ | | / ovarrubias the Owl, Makron the Redeemed, and Zahanist are | | / those mysterious eyes that watch from every tree line by | | \ which travelers pass. As a recorder of events and a writer, | | \___ I can only profess myself shamed by the inability to learn | | about the motives of these powerful Warders and Stalkers of | | our time. Perhaps this is what they want, however? Perhaps an | | eternity of protecting all things natural cannot be marred by any | | sort of exposure, good or bad. Call me a poet, if you dare, but | | know this: I am an artist of meaningless fluff when I must be, and | | I blush as I pen this, for in truth, there is no greater enigma to | | me than the Watchers. Respect is due to them for this. | |____________________________________________________________________| |Chief Editor: Historian Eril | The Library accepts any articles of | |any artistic merit; send any stories or expressions you wish! | \--------------------------------------------------------------------/
