|p=At tonight's meeting we discussed the relative quiet seen since [[Morlaena]]'s attack on [[the Crossing]]. A ruffian was spotted near [[Arthe Dale]] and skeletons have also been seen near there as well. Just something to look out for.
<br>
[[Alexsei]] proposed holding a vigil to [[Elyhaar]] in response to the deception of Morlaena and to show proper respect and redirect some of the misguided praise that were uttered during the Priestess' plot. No set timeframe for this, interested parties should seek out Alexsei for more information.
<br>
[[Mystiri]] proposed a history challenge co-sponsored by some of the provincial Orders.
<br>
It was announced that Mystiri and [[Itala]] will be acting as representatives for the {{PRel|Order of the White Rose|White Rose}} in [[Therengia]] and that they can be approached for diplomatic relations and getting involved in events.

<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "First of all, as always, let me bid welcome to everyone who decided to attend today. On behalf of the Order of the White Rose, I want to pass my thanks to you all."<br>
[[Alexsei]] smiles.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "First, let me introduce myself. I am Alexsei Krauser, Vice-Speaker of the Order of the White Rose."<br>
[[Alexsei]] nods politely.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "For those who are here for the first time, I would like to quickly go over what the {{PRel|Zoluren Town Meeting|Zoluren Town Meetings}} consist of."<br>
[[Alexsei]] smiles.<br>
[[Alexsei]] pushes his spectacles up the bridge of his nose.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "The [[Zoluren]] Town Meetings are, in a nutshell, a hub for information and collaboration between citizens and visitors to Zoluren."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "While hosted and organized by the Order of the White Rose, these sessions allow for people to come and share their thoughts, opinions and information on current happenings in our province and the rest of Kermoria."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "As such, while we do hold these events, they are very much community oriented. Do not be shy to let us know if you wish to speak, share information, or bring something to the meeting at any given time."<br>
[[Alexsei]] smiles.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Now, before we move on to current events and happenings, let me reiterate our recurring topic - that of communication during invasions and emergency situations."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Those present in previous Town Meetings will recall that concern had been raised as to sensitive information being broadcasted on the gweths during emergency situations."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Many feel that certain things like triage location and other such information should be passed on in a more secure manner."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Multiple solutions were ventured, one of which being the adoption of a color of abredine ring to be used as an 'Emergency Channel' of sorts for Zoluren."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "At previous meetings, it was decided that banded cobalt would be the color of choice. As thus, those possessing banded cobalt rings will be able to share information with other citizens and visitors at their leisure during emergencies."<br>
[[Redeth]] gives a slight nod.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "For those interested, the White Rose offers free rings, already attuned to the Banded Cobalt color."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "If you would like to receive one, please whisper to me and I will hand them to you."<br>
[[Alexsei]] smiles.<br>
[[Alexsei]] nods amiably.<br>
[[Alexsei]] asks, "Did anyone have something to bring up on what has been discussed so far?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "If not, then I will stop my incessant chatter for a moment, and pass the floor to Talliska and her more pleasant voice."<br>
[[Alexsei]] winks at Talliska.<br>
[[Talliska]] scratches one ear, looking bemused.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I'm not sure about that, but here goes in any case."<br>
[[Talliska]] chuckles.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Hello all, I'm Talliska, Lorekeeper of the White Rose, here to bring you the current events update."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I usually cover invasions and threats to the provinces. As usual, peacetime events will be covered by Mialeigh in just a moment."<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles at you.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "One can say no news is good news. I, personally, have not heard any recent reports ot attacks in Zoluren since the defeat of Morlaena, false priestess of Eylhaar."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I will also admit though, that various worries and obligations have kept me from being fully active in my usual duties, again."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "So it's quite possible I may have missed some recent news of that sort."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "That said, is there anyone here with some news of invasions of threats to Zoluren in recent times?"<br>
[[Skullbag]] says, "I have question."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "As far as I know... Most of the threat since then has been from [[Necromancer|necromancers]] making trouble in the city."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Sure, Skullbag."<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles at Skullbag.<br>
[[Skullbag]] asks, "I am Skullbag and travel much thru the lands and have seen an increase of necro practices and rituals about, is there any threat from them?"<br>
The field of silver-blue light dissipates from around Arourra.<br>
[[Tiakim]]'s crystal armband glows briefly with a thin nimbus of swirling shadowy-grey moonlight orbited by a miniature luminescent version of the moon Yavash.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I have not heard of any concentrated efforts from necromancers attempting to do harm to the city. Though we do get a construct or zombie at the gate now and then."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "To the province, I should say."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "It seems to me...they plague [[Therengia]] more often then Zoluren."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That certainly seems to be the case though that doesn't mean we shouldn't be vigilant in any case."<br>
[[Skullbag]] says, "Thank you."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Do remember, however, that while we do not have any concrete information in that direction, necromancers are a secretive lot by nature. Their plots are often well concealed until they are hatched, so as Talliska mentioned, vigilance is always key."<br>
[[Talliska]] nods to Skullbag.<br>
[[Azaerul]] says, "Should one catch wind of their plans, who here should be informed, might I be askin'..."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Alexsei here is currently organizing the White Rose's Emergency Response Group so I would say he would be a good person to inform."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Though myself, our speaker Manze or really any Rose would be a good contact. It will get to us one way or another."<br>
[[Alexsei]] gives a slight nod.<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Any other comments about Zoluren invasions or threats?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "If one comes across such information, one should try to spread it among the citizens as well. The better informed we all are, the greater chance we have of being ready in times of strife."<br>
[[Talliska]] nods in agreement.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That's what we've been distributing the rings for too."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "So if you do have any news you can use the cobalt rings if you can't find one of us to inform."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Okay, now... as far as other provinces are concerned, the only recent invasion I have read about is a pirate invasion in [[Riverhaven]]."<br>
[[Tiakim]] acquaints you with some more tricks of the trade by means of droll commentary
[[Azaerul]] asks, "Minor raiding party from which ship?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "This occurred roughly 12 [[Elanthian Time|andaen]] ago? I'm not sure on my counting here, so that's approximate."<br>
[[Talliska]] ponders.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "My information is fairly limited, unfortunately."<br>
[[Meara]] pats Manze on the back.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It would help if someone present here was actually at the invasion."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "If you were I'd love to hear your point of view."<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "What I do know is that it was a fairly short invasion. There were crossbowmen, bosun, riggers, longbowmen and others. The crossbowmen are known for their accuracy and the bosun for their magic resistance."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I will make efforts to contact [[Order of the Dragon Shield|ODS]] or others in Riverhaven area for more info if you like."<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles at Azaerul.<br>
[[Azaerul]] shakes his head.<br>
[[Azaerul]] smiles at Talliska.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "All right. Well, have to say this is possibly one of the shortest current event updates I've ever had to give."<br>
[[Talliska]] chuckles.<br>
[[Azaerul]] says, "Jes the ponderin's of a curious Rakash at all."<br>
[[Alexsei]] chuckles.<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "I noticed one small thing."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Sure, Tiakim, go ahead."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Might be of no concern ..."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Just a ruffian out on the nothern trade route, probally trying to steal from [[Trader|traders]]."<br>
[[Azaerul]] peers quizzically at Tiakim.<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Interesting, just a nameless ruffian?"<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "I killed him as he was about to enter arte."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Arthe even."<br>
[[Talliska]] nods to Tiakim.<br>
[[Cyiarriah]] asks, "When was this?"<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "About 1 day ago."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Was very recent."<br>
[[Altras]] says, "I also noticed some undead around Arthe Dale."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Something to watch out for, then. Thanks for bringing it to our attention."<br>
[[Azaerul]] asks, "Where?"<br>
[[Tiakim]] nods politely.<br>
[[Talliska]] asks Altras, "What sort of undead?"<br>
[[Altras]] says, "Minor creatures."<br>
[[Azaerul]] says, "I been there almost everyday....if'n yer talkin about the squirrels they're always there."<br>
[[Altras]] says, "A few days back."<br>
[[Talliska]] nods to Azaerul.<br>
[[Altras]] says, "Nope ... outside the gate."<br>
[[Kraggur]] ponders.<br>
[[Azaerul]] says, "Pale grey death squirrels? A joke of Huldah er somesuch."<br>
[[Alexsei]] gives a slight nod.<br>
[[Altras]] says, "Skeletons."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "That is certainly disconcerting."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I see. We do have a few Roses that make their homes in Arthe. I'm sure they'll take this news and be vigilant."<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles.<br>
[[Tiakim]] nods in agreement.<br>
[[Alexsei]] asks, "They were not part of an organized attack force that you could discern, then?"<br>
[[Altras]] says, "There were several ... nothing organized that I could se."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Thank you for the news."<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles at Altras.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Well, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am sure we will all be vigilant and keep an ear to the ground."<br>
[[Skullbag]] says, "I have one bit of news from Sortny about the TRADERS day in [[Shard]] next week you can check with here on date and times."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] nod to Skullbag.<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Is there anyone else with a report?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] nods to Altras.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "I was going to cover that briefly."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] grin at Skullbag.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "As far as other non-threatening events are concerned, yes, Mia's going to speak about that soon."<br>
[[Skullbag]] says, "Ah sorry."<br>
[[Talliska]] exclaims, "No worries!"<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles at Skullbag.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "In fact that can be now, if there are no other comments for my portion."<br>
[[Talliska]] flicks one ear back as though listening for something.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] grin.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Okay then, I'll give the floor to Mia."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] grin.<br>
[[Alexsei]] smiles.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] wave.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "I'm Mialeigh Arekher, Recruiting Director for the White Rose. I'll be short and sweet while covering social and peacetime events. If you want more information about any of the events mentioned, just whisper to me after the meeting."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "For Zoluren events, Wyvern's Trials will be held in two days at the Hilltop Cemetery. The next Town Hall Meeting will be in two and a half weeks."<br>
[[Azaerul]] asks, "Whats that?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "In Therengia, we have the ODS Strike Force gathering in one day, their Herb Lore and Triage in two and a novice auction in seven. The Theren Theatre Players will be hosting a "Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre" in six days at the Trigomas Residence."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "The Trials."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] ask, "?"<br>
[[Azaerul]] nods.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] giggle.<br>
[[Talliska]] grins at you.<br>
[[Azaerul]] chuckles.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "It's one on one combat from what I've gathered."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "A tournament of sorts."<br>
[[Azaerul]] says, "Oh I thought someone might've been put on public trial."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "'In [[Ilithi]], as Skullbag had mentioned The [[Mentor Society|Lorethew Mentor Society]], the [[Order of the Apostles|Apostles]], the Ilithi Theater and the Trader Consortium will host a day of festivities in honor of [[Lanival]] the Redeemer's Victory in seven days."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] ask, "And that's all I have, does anyone have an event they'd like to announce?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] smile.<br>
[[Mystiri]] asks, "What about a proposal?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] tilt your head with a curious expression.<br>
[[Mystiri]] smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br>
[[Azaerul]] peers quizzically at Mystiri.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] ask, "Proposal for an event or a marriage proposal?"<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "Itala and I have been spending some time in Haven lately.."<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "Proposal for an event."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] ask, "What would you like to see?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] smile at Mystiri.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "We attended the ODS Strike Force event, which was very informative and fun, and then we tried to attend the Haven Living event the next day."<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "We missed it...but not really out fault."<br>
One of the onyx ravens orbiting Skullbag's waist suddenly halts, causing those behind it to slam into it! The impact jumpstarts the first back into motion.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "More of a mix up in communication."<br>
[[Mystiri]] chuckles.<br>
[[Itala]] nods.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "However, while there, Arourra had an interesting suggestion."<br>
[[Talliska]] smiles.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "A history challenge co-sponsored by a few provincial groups."<br>
[[Alexsei]] tilts his head to one side.<br>
[[Mystiri]] grins at Arourra, her dimples flashing into view.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "She had asked if members of the Order of the White Rose were interested in history."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That sounds like it could be great fun."<br>
[[Redeth]] says, "That would be fun."<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "I assured her we most certainly are."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Nesra is not with us today, but I am certain she would very much like the idea."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "We'll have to get together with some of the other leaders and see if we can't get that going."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Spreading knowledge and lore are a part of our charter, naturally."<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "If it's an idea that's approved, I would like to help with the planning from our Order."<br>
[[Arourra]] says, "Each group could even craft questions about their Provincial history to challenge the other representatives. It would be a learning experience and a way to bring several groups together."<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "I'm working on getting the reports to Talli, but I'm having some, um, technical problems."<br>
[[Mystiri]] grumbles.<br>
[[Mystiri]] smiles at Arourra, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br>
[[Alexsei]] nods at Arourra, obviously agreeing with her views.<br>
[[Mystiri]] nods.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Nesra has recently become our event coodinator, so you'll want to speak to her about it too. But as far as I'm concerned I think it'd be great."<br>
The snow slacks off to a moderate flurry.<br>
[[Mystiri]] nods to Talliska.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "Of course."<br>
[[Alexsei]] nods to Talliska.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "I just wanted to bring it up while most of us were together and Arourra was here."<br>
[[Mystiri]] smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "While we've got the spotlight on Mysti a bit..."<br>
[[Talliska]] grins.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "I think this could be a very interesting and informative idea. Thank you for sharing it."<br>
[[Alexsei]] smiles.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] grin at Talliska.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I did want to say one thing."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The reason she and her husband Itala have been spending more time up north is because I've asked her to help represent the White Rose diplomatically in Theren."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "She is officially assisting me in that respect. So, if you are a Therengian or know a Therengian, you can speak to them."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "You'll probalby see plenty of them at your events."<br>
[[Talliska]] grins.<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "And it isn't that and you know it."<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "Anyway, I will be sharing the Strike Force report as soon as I can, but it was great fun and I recommend it to anyone."<br>
[[Mystiri]] nods.<br>
[[Mystiri]] says, "And that's all I have."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Thank you very much."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Well, if no one else has anything to announce, I would speak a bit informally about something of my own, if you would."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "My sentence was a bit confusing, so let me clarify, if you are a Therengian or know one, you can tell them to speak to Mystiri and Itala about diplomatic relations with the Rose, getting involved in events with us and so on."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "And now I'm done."<br>
[[Mystiri]] giggles at Talliska.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Well... As many of you I believe are aware, I am a long time servant of Eylhaar."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Recently, Her name was used in a ploy, her likeness and purviews abused to gain the trust of the people."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "As such, I wanted to hold a short vigil in Her name, to help show Her proper respect and redirect some of the misguided praise that were uttered during Morlaena's plot."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "I have not yet established a timeframe for it, although I will have it announced as soon as it is decided. I am not the evangelist type and will not force anyone, but if this would catch your interest, then I hope to see you there."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] blush a bright red color.<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "I forgot about an event."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "The Ilithi Court will be hosting a game of 'Puce Assassins' in five days. Last I knew, Leucius was looking for people to play assassins. If you're interested, you could contact him."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "It sounds like a fun game of havoc and chaos."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] grin impishly.<br>
[[Alexsei]] asks, "Did anyone have anything else to add and announce, then?"<br>
[[Kraggur]] says, "Aye."<br>
[[Alexsei]] nods to Kraggur.<br>
[[Alexsei]] says to Kraggur, "Oh, go right ahead, in that case."<br>
[[Kraggur]] says, "[[Vansiil]] an' I hae received word that there might be some activity related ta tha Y'Shai guardian o'er tha Dor'na'torna shard in tha next few months."<br>
[[Kraggur]] says, "I'll let ya all know as we hear mer."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Well, if that is all, then I believe this concludes this Zoluren Town Meeting. Once again, I want to express the thanks of everyone in the Order of the White Rose to all those who came to attend."
