Subj: Baron vs. Chaston Last Night In Vornavis Court

Feastday, Phoenatos 13th
By Historian Rovvigen

Hours before Baron Dunrith arrived few people gathered in Solhaven, North Market to await his arrival. At about 11pm (est) Baron Dunrith arrived a led a group to Solhaven’s Vornavis, Great Hall.

An aged chamberlain continues to watch as people arrive into the Great Hall.

Speaking to an aged chamberlain, Deavon says, “Good to see you again, sir.”

An aged chamberlain says, “It is always good to have knights of Vornavis return home.”

Speaking kindly to an aged chamberlain, Bristenn replies, “And it is always good to be home, lord chamberlain.”

An aged chamberlain says, “I will remind all here to be mindful of proper decorum while here.”

An aged chamberlain says, “Weapons, shields, and the like have no place being drawn here at Court.”

An aged chamberlain gives the Great Hall a final once over and then nods.

An aged chamberlain raises his green staff and thumps the end of it on the floor several times.

An aged chamberlain exclaims, “This session of the Court of Vornavis is now in session. Make way for his Excellency Baron Dunrith Malwind of Vornavis!”

Baron Dunrith just came through a small side door.
.
Goldstr snaps smartly to attention!
Bristenn snaps smartly to attention!
.
Dunrith stands in front of some regal chairs of state.

Speaking softly to Dunrith, Deavon says, “My liege…”

An aged chamberlain says, “And his Lordship Salnim Malwind of Vornavis.”

Puptilian nods respectfully.

Dunrith turns his gaze over all of those assembled in the Great Hall and smiles.

Dunrith says, “It is good to see so many faces here tonight for this session of Court.”

Dergoatean appears less confident and fearless.

Dunrith says, “We are especially pleased to see the faces of the many knights who have ties here with Vornavis.”

Dunrith says, “It has been far too long since our last open session of Court. But we are glad we can correct that tonight.”

Dunrith says, “And speaking of things in need of correction, we are pleased to speak of our first order of business this night.”

Dunrith nods to the aged chamberlain.

An aged chamberlain says, “Order of Azure Suns, please present yourselves before his Excellency.”

Members of the Azure Suns each stride a few steps forward to the chamberlain.

Dunrith gazes down from the dais at those assembled before him.

Speaking to Dunrith, Aydan greets, “The honor is ours, Excellency. It has been too long since we have last been in your presence.”
Bristenn nods respectfully.

Bristenn formally answers, “And we are gladdened to be in your service, Your Excellency.”

Speaking to Aydan, Dunrith says, “Indeed, Sir Aydan. And we are happy to have you back here amongst us again.”

Dunrith says, “You and your Order have always done right by Vornavis, seeking to represent it in the field, and be our eyes and ears where we need them to be.”

Dunrith says, “However for many months now an injustice has existed towards your Order.”

Dunrith says, “Whilst you have always been a knightly order in our eyes, proper recognition from the rest of the Empire was missing due to the lack of your inclusion in the Tomes of Immuron.”

Dunrith says, “It is my pleasure to announce that this injustice is over.”

Dunrith says, “The Order of the Azure Suns have been added to the Tomes of Immuron, where they properly belong.”

Bristenn faces Dunrith and smartly brings his right fist up to his chest. Holding it there, he bows deeply.

Individuals baring witness to this occasion in court start applauding at the accomplishments of the Azure Sons.

Aydan bows respectfully before Dunrith, his eyes fixed firmly on the ground.

Speaking to Aydan, Dunrith says, “It was regretful that this endevour took so long to be seen through. It seems there were some rather…zealous…clerks which made things rather more involved than usual.”

Speaking to Bristenn, Dunrith says, “You and yours have always done this, Sir Bristenn.”

Speaking to Aydan, Dunrith says, “We can only hope that the clerks were simply being ever careful in these times. Regardless of their reasons, the injustice of your inclusion has been resolved.”

Bristenn politely reasons, “If I may say, Your Excellency, it isn’t a reason to -not- double our efforts, at home and abroad.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Aydan agrees, “Surely only a wish to ensure it was done right and proper.”

Speaking to Bristenn, Dunrith says, “We always expect the best and the most of our knights, Sir Bristenn. And we shall hold you to that.”

Bristenn nods gravely, clasping his hands behind his back.

Speaking to Aydan, Dunrith says, “I am sure that was the reason.”
Dunrith nods to the aged chamberlain.

Speaking to an aged chamberlain, Dunrith says, “I believe we are ready for the next order of business.”

An aged chamberlain says, “Order of the Azure Suns, you may stand down.”

Dunrith says, “Whilst our first order of business was a thing of joy, what we move to now makes our heart heavy.”

Dunrith says, “In recent times the situation for much of the North has been difficult and troublesome throughout the region.”

Dunrith says, “An innocent girl struck down in a horrific attack.”

Dunrith says, “And a call to use this tragedy to drag the Empire backwards instead of moving forward.”

Dunrith says, “Over the past several decades Vornavis has seen its share of troubles, conflicts, and tragedies.”

Dunrith says, “But one thing which has always remained a source of hope and inspiration to stand stalwart in the face of these things has been how its people have stood together.”

Dunrith says, “We have seen men and women shed blood and gives their lives in defense of not only this barony, but to aid and defend others in need.”

Dunrith says, “People of all different backgrounds, from all different places -of all different races – working together for a common cause.”

Dunrith says, “To that end, I wish for it to be clear to everyone, that people of all races are welcome within this Barony.”

Dunrith says, “If others are so foolish as to not wish them be present, then there will be a place for them here.”

Dunrith smiles faintly.

Dunrith nods to the aged chamberlain.

An aged chamberlain raises his staff once and strikes it on the floor.

Captain Gurbah a half ogre and half bull centaur just arrived in Court Room

Gurbah gives those assembled a stern gaze and then takes up a position near the dais by the chamberlain.

Mynon turns toward Gurbah and renders a sharp hand salute.

An aged chamberlain says, “His Excellency will now be taking petitions from those present in the Court. Those wishing to speak should whisper their intentions to Captain Gurbah. When called upon, you make present yourself before the court.”

An aged chamberlain says, “The first petitioner before the Court is Mayor Puptilian Peregrinus of Wehnimer’s Landing.”

Speaking to an aged chamberlain, Puptilian says, “Thank you.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Puptilian says, “Baron Malwind, thank you for taking the time to allow us to address the court.”

Dunrith nods at Puptilian.

Puptilian says, “I come here as a representative of Wehnimer’s Landing to address the court as friends of old. It is a shame I have to do so in dark times but I feel its important to speak of the matters at hand.”

Puptilian says, “Over the course of many months, our town has had dealing with one Prelate Chaston of the Church of Koar and his followers who call themselves The Blameless.”

Puptilian says, “This Prelate and his followers have brought harm to the area of Wehnimer’s Landing and especially to followers of Ronan and Imaera. The Blameless has gone on to place harm on the Shrine of Ronan.”

Speaking to Puptilian, Irar says, “Replaced the Shrine of Ronan, more like.”

Puptilian says, “This does not even cover the many rumors that follow this Prelate and his followers around the Empire.”

Puptilian says, “Just last night Prelate Chaston made his announcements at the doorstep of the Landing. His views for the Empire and all lands is one against the very essence of what makes up Wehnimer’s Landing and its people.”

Puptilian says, “His views and actions not only reach the Empire but of those outside the Empire. I fear that he will turn his eyes and army to the town I have been given to represent.”

Puptilian says, “And for what reason? The same reason you yourself announced tonight. We welcome all people, all races, and all beliefs to our town.”

Puptilian says, “The people of the Landing will stand strong against anyone that will try to force their will on us. We will stand strong against Prelate Chaston if he comes to our town to force his views of prurification.”

Puptilian says, “We too will announce to the world, ALL are WELCOME. We will allow any race, any belief to live with us as free people.”

Puptilian asks, “I come to you Baron Malwind as friend. I come to ask if Vornavis will stand with us as Sir Thadston from Hendor does against this purification?”

Puptilian says, “I believe that all of us need to stand as one against one as this Prelate.”

Puptilian says, “And I do hope our friendship continues as we help each other in this dark times.”

Puptilian says, “Thank you again for your time Baron Malwind.”

Speaking to Puptilian, Dunrith says, “One thing that we have become most aware and clear about over the years is the strength of the independent spirit of the town of Wehnimer’s Landing.”

Puptilian agrees with Dunrith.

Speaking to Puptilian, Dunrith says, “And despite some difficult moments, Vornavis has always viewed your town with friendship, and has always been our hope that such might be strengthened again in time.”

Dunrith says, “As for Prelate Griffin, of whom we have heard much, we can only hope that all this energy of his would not forget the many of his own people back in Talador whom have suffered much these past several years.”

Dunrith says, “As there are those who would be better suited to be aided in these times. As we know first hand through our efforts in the North.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Puptilian says, “The Landing does still see Vornavis as friend and I hope we can continue to strengthen that bond.”

An aged chamberlain gently taps his staff on the floor.

Meanwhile in the Landing, Hapenlok sees “and on the trail to Solhaven: Some townspeople and white-robed priests, dozens and dozens, slowly march by.”

An aged chamberlain says, “The next petitioner before the Court is Irar, a Templar of Koar.”

Irar bows to Dunrith.

Speaking to Dunrith, Irar says, “The Mayor has voiced many of my concerns already.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Irar says, “And now that my associates inform me of an exodus currently taking place…”

Speaking to Dunrith, Irar says, “I am a Templar of Koar, but not Blameless. I consider them an affront, but this is probably obvious.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Irar asks, “If you see Blameless operating within or around your town, carrying out the activities they have become infamous by carrying out in the Landing, what action would you consider taking?”

Speaking to Dunrith, Irar asks, “And what would you have your fine Knights do?”

Irar glances at Aydan.

Dunrith nods at Irar.

Dunrith says, “The laws of Vornavis are very clear when it comes to matters of unwarranted violence and destruction of property.”

Speaking to Irar, Dunrith says, “And such apply to any who are within the Barony of Vornavis.”

Speaking to Irar, Dunrith says, “I believe that should clarify matters when it comes to your question.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Irar says, “Thank you, your Excellency.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Irar says, “May Koar guide you.”

An aged chamberlain taps his staff on the floor.

Ylandra says, “Aye, not all who follow Koar are … as distasteful as those who follow that fraudster Chaston.”

Mikalmas says, “I agree whole-heartedly, Ylandra.”

An aged chamberlain says, “The next petition before the Court is Sir Aydan Mursilis, Knight Banneret.”

Speaking respectfully to Dunrith, Aydan says, “Excellency, it is good that Mayor Puptilian had the opportunity to speak of his concerns for the town and people he represents. The fears he has for them are similar to my own that I have for the Barony, and the Empire as a whole.”

Aydan says, “As we know, the free worship of the Pantheon of Liabo and those neutral, yet benevolent spirits associated with them is a right granted to all citizens of the Empire.”

Aydan says, “And as such, I would never find fault with a sincerely-held belief and faith, whether that be to Koar, Lumnis, Charl, or any other.”

As Court continues Prelate Chaston has arrived in Solhaven’s North Market

Speaking quietly to Gurbah, Raelee murmurs, “The Prelate is in North Market.”

Speaking quietly to Gurbah, Raelee says, “You may need to send men.”

Cryheart says, “Settle down folks.”

Cryheart says, “Be calm.”

Aydan says, “But the man, Chaston Griffin, would argue differently. He has sent his Blameless to several loc-” he hesitates for a moment before continuing, “locations, both within the Empire and abroad, claiming to act against corruption and purging their faiths.”

Aydan surreptitiously glances at Raelee.

Speaking to Dunrith, Aydan says, “There is a measure of mental domination at play in this. Squire Dirra Crawfinn would be one who can testify to this. Lady Casiphia is another.”

Speaking quickly to Gurbah, Raelee says, “They are coming. They are headed for the gate.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Aydan says, “I have taken the liberty of inviting several others who can testify as witnesses to many of these events, and in one occasion, those who were present in time to prevent it from occurring. It is my hope, if they have not done so already, that they have informed Captain Gurbah of their desire to address you.”

A din of voices can be heard outside, beyond the walls of the hall.”

Speaking to Aydan, Dunrith says, “Before we move on to the different person you wish to bring forth, I do wish to say the missive you have sent have been most useful.”

Aydan nods once at Dunrith.

Speaking to Aydan, Dunrith says, “While we may not be able to dispatch missives in turn, that does not mean they are not valued.”

Gurbah moves slowly towards the entrance of the Hall, gives glances to guardsman as he moves across the room.

Speaking to Dunrith, Aydan says, “Of course, Excellency.”

Cryheart says, “Shield the weapon and shield please.”

Echoing from outside, prayers and song fill the night. Praise to Koar!

Captain Gurbah just went out.

Deavon exclaims, “Keep those weapons sheathed!”

Rowmi tiredly says, “If you must unsheath your blades, take them outside.”

Deavon says, “As well as your shields unharnessaed.”

Speaking to Aydan, Dunrith says, “Please continue, Sir Aydan.”

Through a narrow window, the crowd outside can be seen. They lift up white candles, the small flames flickering in the night as they stand together.

Speaking to Dunrith, Aydan says, “I had intended before last night to present a much more in-depth case to you, but in light of the Prelate’s words in the north last eve, I feel that there is little else I can say that makes his intent more clear.”

Evia says, “Silence, respect and decorum in his Excellencies court, if you please.”

The Prelate Chaston is entering the Great Hall in Solhaven, soon to be in the presence of the Baron!

Prelate Chaston just arrived.
Chaston flashes a wide grin.

Chaston says, “Your Excellency….”

Speaking to Dunrith, Aydan says, “Excellency, I believe I shall yield the floor at this point, as there is little else that I can say even now.”

Chaston nods at Dunrith.

Chaston smiles, his golden eyes glimmering like the dancing flames of an amber fire.

An aged chamberlain says, “Now see here, there is a decorum to follow.”

An aged chamberlain says, “You cannot simply barge into a Court session like this my good fellow.”

(Aydan turns to face Chaston, though he doesn’t return to his previous location amongst the audience.)

Chaston grins at an aged chamberlain.

Irar asks, “I’ll breach protocol this once. Was he given leave to speak?”

Speaking to an aged chamberlain, Dunrith says, “I believe we can let this fellow by, just this once.”

An aged chamberlain nods.

Areigha softly says, “I agree I want to hear what he has to say.”

Speaking to an aged chamberlain, Panndoris says, “I will not draw my weapon.. but let the court know that I would gladly rid it of this imposter…”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith asks, “Prelate Griffin, what brings you to Vornavis most unexpectedly this night?”

Chaston says, “I bring the will of the God-King.”

Dunrith says, “Many were invited here this night, but we do not recall yours being amongst those names.”

An aged chamberlain strikes his staff on the floor loudly.

Irar says, “Koar is already here.”

An aged chamberlain says, “Decorum will be observed in this court.”

Ragz stamps his feet at Chaston!

Chaston says, “Vornavis has not escaped the darkness of the past…with the War of Shadows…with the roots of evil to the north in Wehnimer’s Landing…”

Chaston says, “The Dark Alliance has brought great suffering to this Barony countless times…”

Chaston says, “…yet here some of them stand, amongst your Hall.”

Chaston says, “I have come with one simple message, and in truth, a warning.”

Chaston says, “Solhaven exists as a blemish on the luster of Vornavis.”

Chaston says, “Within Solhaven, the streets are lined with Temples to both Liabo, and Lornon.”

Chaston says, “That is a dangerous path, to allow such to remain.”

Speaking in Halfling, Sbinna deeply says, “You exist as a blemish on the luster of my…”

Dunrith gazes down at Chaston from the dais, no expression upon his face.

Chaston says, “It was not long ago…that you and yours chided Wehnimer’s Landing for their complacency in allowing evil to set root and prosper within their walls.”

Chaston says, “…yet you fail to recognize the poison in your own well.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Panndoris asks, “You listen to this??”

Chaston says, “I have come, to encourage you.”

Chaston says, “Reject the darkness of Lornon.”

(Aydan sneaks a glance up the dais toward Salnim, taps his forehead, and then sneaks a glance toward the Baron and the Prelate.)

Chaston says, “Crumble the dark temples, before the snake in the garden ruins all your family holds dear.”

Chaston steps back, nodding.

Panndoris glances at an aged chamberlain.

The aged chamberlain prods Panndoris in the back with his staff.

Panndoris says, “But..”

Panndoris glances at Chaston.

Dunrith says, “Before we speak further, we would be remiss to point out the fact that those forces you spoke of troubling this region were defeated in turn. In part due to the efforts of those who call this region their home.”

Dunrith says, “It is good that you speak of watching over your own, Prelate Griffin.”

Dunrith says, “For we wished to ask you about the people of Talador, your own people. The ones to whom you have sworn to serve.”
An aged chamberlain raps his staff on the ground several times.

Chaston says, “The people of Talador prosper. All of Talador prospers.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “We have heard that following the terrible things that befell Talador, that you were the beneficiary of the blood marble discovered in the mines.”

Chaston says, “It is through our great region, that a new revival shall wash across the Empire, restoring faith to the lost. Purging darkness from the land.”

Chaston asks, “Is it then, that you disagree with the tenets of Koar? That you have doubts of the Church’s purpose?”

Puptilian nods once.

Chaston peers quizzically at Dunrith.

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “Such a thing must have been quite the boon given so many of your people were suffering, lacking in food and shelter.”

Chaston says, “A woman’s cries and blood give way to the spark of a new life.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith asks, “And what was it you did with the funds from all that blood marble?”

Speaking neutrally to Chaston, Rowmi mentions, “If you can prove to me Koar wants your brand of zealotry, I would be more inclined to believe you.”

Chaston says, “Talador is fed.”

Chaston says, “Talador has found new life, and new faith.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “Yes Talador was fed.”

Dunrith says, “But no thanks to you.”

Dunrith says, “Your people were starving and lacked shelter, and you were flush with money from your blood marble.”

Chaston says, “It falls to the rulers, the Lords of Hendor, to see to the simple needs of Talador. Surely you must understand such.”

Dunrith says, “For one that cares for his people so much, we would think you would do whatever was needed to care for your people.”

Chaston says, “With the opportunities bestowed upon me by the God-King, I have given Talador more important things than just food and sheltar.”

Chaston says, “I have given them faith. I have given them a future.”

Dunrith says, “And yet when you were prospering with funds, you in turn built a temple.”

Dunrith says, “But you did not give them the things they needed most. The things they needed to survive.”

Dunrith says, “Vornavis amongst them.”

Chaston says, “You are correct.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “A Half-Elf gave them what they needed to live.”

Chaston says, “Talador’s children owe many of their full bellies to the generousity of Vornavis.”

Chaston says, “Hathlyn are still half pure, there can be moments.”

Aydan incredulously mutters, “Half-pure? He REALLY just said that?”

Speaking neutrally to Aydan, Bristenn replies, “I believe he has insulted our liegelord.”

Chaston says, “While Vornavis has fed their own, and those of their cousins in Talador and Mestanir….”

Chaston says, “They have been ignorant to the rot growing from within.”

Speaking quietly to Bristenn, Aydan murmurs, “I believe he did.”

Chaston says, “Because of Talador’s debt to Vornavis…”

Chaston says, “I have come.”

Chaston says, “Bearing the God-King’s stark warning.”

Speaking casually to Aydan, Bristenn ventures, “I find it wholly unorthodox, genrally.”

Dunrith says, “Typically when one owes another a debt, they repay it in kind.”

Chaston says, “There is no seat, no house, and no shadow safe in the Turamzzyrian Empire for the followers of Lornon and those who support such depravity.”

Chaston says, “You have helped to sustain the flesh and blood of Talador’s people.”

Chaston says, “In kind, I have come to help bring sustenance to the soul of your people.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “We would say to you that you should see that your own house is in order, before you begin knocking on the doors of others.”

An aged chamberlain bangs the end of his staff on the floor and gives the crowd a stern look.

Chaston says, “The Church is in order, and long has it been. Before the folly of a few permitted darkness to taint both land and blood.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “When it comes to judging others, it is often best to judge their deeds, not what you believe. Actions and deeds will show you the measure of the man.”

Chaston grins at Dunrith.

An aged chamberlain gives Chaston a scandalized look!

Chaston says, “I came here, to invite you to participate in a new dawn for our Church and Empire.”

Bristenn briskly corrects, “His Excellency, -Baron- Dunrith Malwind.”

Bristenn firmly adds, “Swan Lord of Vornavis, -Your Eminence.-“

Speaking sternly to Chaston, Dunrith says, “Prelate Griffin, we are not on familiar terms.”

Speaking quietly to Bristenn, Aydan murmurs, “Mires, stand down.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “Before you say anything further, there is a matter you seem to have forgotten.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “You serve the Patriarch. He serves at the pleasure of the Emperor. And we serve the Emperor.”

Chaston says, “I have carried the message of the God-King.”

Chaston says, “It is yours, to heed or reject.”

Chaston says, “I will pray for your people, that all will know the light soon.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “For the road home, we have a story for you in turn.”

Chaston says, “May you forever walk in the light of the God-King.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “We believe you will appreciate this one, as stories such as these are often used in sermons.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “As you see, you remind us of another man we knew once before. He found that the world was not what he felt it to be. That it was unjust and was against him.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “He reached out to those with power to support him in his endevours, for his was a holy cause that would be done.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “But this man was wrong in the end. And he failed to achieve to bring all before him to heel.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “But when faced with this, he could not accept it. He would not accept it. And so he turned to whatever power he could find to see his will done.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “And in doing so, this man became an actual monster in fact, as well as in deed.”

Dunrith says, “And it destroyed him.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “I am sure you are familiar with this story, given where you come from.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “As the man I spoke of was Lerep Hochstib.”

Chaston flashes a wide grin.

Chaston says, “The folly of Hochstib.”

Chaston says, “I am quite pleased to hear you reference such a tale.”

Chaston says, “For there exists many lessons in such.”

Speaking to Chaston, Dunrith says, “Indeed there are.”

Chaston says, “Even when the mad Baron conquered Mestanir, he bowed to the power of the Church and the God-King.”

Chaston says, “Despite his title and land and power, he recognized the might and grace of Koar.”

Chaston says, “While he expelled mages and those of dark arts, even in madness, he saw clearly enough to allow the pilgrimages to holy sites of Koar to remain.”

Chaston says, “And his descent into darkness…”

Dunrith says, “And when he was defeated in Mestanir, it was due on part to the Fist of Koar destroying his Mandis Crystal. But also due to a good push of a wagon by people of all backgrounds and races.”

Chaston says, “Is merely further illustration to the fact that hathlyns, being impure, are suspectible to darkness.”

Chaston says, “I have said what was needed. The Church thanks you for your time and service…Your Excellency.”

Chaston flashes a wide grin.

Speaking to Chaston, Ylandra says, “I am Ylandra, High Priestess of Cholen. I say to you that Chaston’s Will is not Koar’s Will.”

Speaking calmly to Chaston, Mohrgan informs, “As it happens, your Emminence, I was there the night that Hochstib died and watched his last breath leave him.”

Chaston says, “May you forever walk in the light of the God-King.”

Prelate Chaston just went out.

Dunrith says, “It seems we cannot wish that nothing ill befalls him upon his journey.”

Bristenn dryly offers, “May he walk in the light of Koar, then, my liege?”

Speaking to Aydan, Lylia asks, “Now, what were you saying before that man came in and interrupted you so rudely?”

An aged chamberlain shakes his head and mutters to himself, clearly flustered.

Speaking amusedly to Lylia, Aydan says, “Nothing else to be said.”

Speaking to Dunrith, Salnim says, “You do enjoy telling that story.”

Puptilian swears long, loud and well.

Speaking to Dunrith, Mikalmas says, “I rather like that comment.”

Speaking to Salnim, Dunrith says, “I would rather wish I would not need to make the comparison.”

Speaking softly to an aged chamberlain, Areigha asks, “Where do you go from here?”

Speaking to Deavon, Dunrith says, “Given the rather…emotional topic of discussion, some allowance can be made, Dame Deavon. Some apologies should be offered to our chamberlain in turn, as it certainly is an affront to his sensibilities.”

An aged chamberlain appears to perk himself up and take a more formal stance.

Speaking to Dunrith, Deavon says, “You are a-right, my Lord.”

Speaking to an aged chamberlain, Goldstr exclaims, “Me apiligies Sir!”

Speaking to an aged chamberlain, Deavon says, “I am deeply sorry you needed to deal with such uncouth persons.”

Dunrith says, “While we know there were other petioners who wished to address the Court, given the late hour, we believe it will be best to adjorn.”

Dunrith glances over those assembled in the Great Hall.

Dunrith says, “We also have a feeling that some of those concerns were addressed tonight.”

Puptilian says, “Thank you Baron Malwind for your time to listen to us from Wehnimer’s Landing.”

Lylia says, “Thank you for opening your hall to so many visitors, your Excellency, even if some could not be troubled to remain civil.”

An aged chamberlain raps the end of his staff on the floor.

An aged chamberlain says, “This session of the Court of Vornavis is now concluded.”
