[The Past]

"Indeed," Jovri replied. He took a breath before continuing.

"Whoever paid for the attack may have been behind the murder of every member of my family... which is why I am in this position today. I believe I know who did it, but I have no solid evidence, u-unfortunately..."

[Rho'Syn Ilwynog]

The Luminarch sat quietly, cold gaze sweeping between the different representatives. No emotions played on her face.

[Ben]

"Is it really in our best interests to poke a sleeping bear, I'm sure that if we were to uncover the nation behind these attacks the repercussions of war and endless sanctions would follow. With a multitude of different cultures and ideological beliefs all I see coming out of this is a world at war."

[[INACTIVE]]

"It is all we can do. If we do not find out who is doing this, I'm afraid that Jovri's life is endangered... And besides, don't you want revenge Jovri?" Baileys evil glare pierced Jovris eyes. The evil in his eyes was as bright as the sun.

[Ben]

I stand from my spot at the table and start walking around the room with my hands behind my back, "Why would you poison his mind with revenge at a time such as this one. That is the naive mentality in this case. Their government has been demolished with one swift action and has put that nation under the stress of reconstruction, the last thing they need is a costly war"

[[INACTIVE]]

"Well I didn't say he needs to fight... We are powerful nations! We don't need him, to destroy this one nation. He can be a bystander and watch as you, me, and the rest of the world give him his revenge!" He leaned back into his chair and smiled.

[Ben]

"Honestly if some war were to happen it would be in their best interest to stay out of it completely." I stop and turn around walking back to my chair,"It still brings us back to, who did it?" I say before I pick up my helmet and buff it with my spit quickly.

[[INACTIVE]]

Bailey nods, "Agreed, now who do we thing did it? Jovri, out of all the leaders who is the one that ether was to close, or hated you alot?" Bailey pulled out a pencil and paper and sat there waiting for an answer.

[Ben]

I take out a scrap piece of paper and a charcoal ready to write a few quick notes.

[The Past]

((Holy crap, I type slow))

Jovri's advisor, Adari, smirked at the 'sleeping bear' comment, but Jovri didn't catch it.


Jovri began to grow nervous again, but clutched his necklace as he took a breath to calm himself.
 "While Burrklau has been peaceful, and... pretty much isolated until very recent years, it will not remain that way if we allow ourselves to be stepped on by the traitor nation. ... We need to play an active role until this threat is ceased, in any way possible..."

The young Sigikel glanced at Adari, who nodded. He returned his gaze to the fellow leaders.
"My officials and I believe the terrorist attack was a set-up by General Cooper of Steel Lords Republic, for a number of reasons, mainly through how the events played out... and the... association he had with our nation."

Adari began to speak as well.
"We believe Cooper's supposed antagonism toward us is in relation to our plentiful valuable gem mines. Steel Lords has some of the highest quality metal ore. Naturally, we were interested in trade."

Adari slipped out multiple documents from a folder and placed them on the table.
"Cooper and late Sigikel Olohi were processing an agreement last year," she said, "Allowing Steel Lords access to a good number of Burrklau's mines for some of theirs. Nearing completion, Olohi worried she was being fooled and terminated the deal."

"I believe," Jovri continued, "that Cooper is attempting to take control of Burrklau. His attention toward me and body language read plotting, and his kidnapping at the scene may have been a set-up to bring doubt to his involvement."

((By the way, the trade fact was my idea, it was not planned by Talia. I needed something interesting to work with. Whether or not the characters' assumptions are actually correct is up to Talia.))

[Rho'Syn Ilwynog]

"That is a reasonable assumption," Rhoysn murmured. "It would be the perfect cover, however there is one small way we can rule that out. Who is the leader running that nation in lieu of your 'ally'? If this person is indeed faking his own death, they would loose the power they held prior to being captured. The reason that strategy is rarely used is because those who are in power generally want to stay there. Do we have any intelligence on the rest of that country's cabinet?"

[The Past]

Jovri hesitated for a second before shaking his head. "I-I don't," he admitted. "Err, as far as I know, Cooper's stunt -- i-if it is such -- was of just a kidnapping, not murder."

"We haven't heard anything from Steel Lords since the incident," Adari added. "It's possible Cooper will stay in hiding for only a small while."

[Ben]

After writing that all quickly I fold it and and it to one of my guards nearby, "so we have the who and the why, all that's left how are we going to react"

[Angder]

The 9 leaders of the Fangwall keep on talking. Esmeren wanted to form ties with other nations, wary of the threat within the steel-lord republic. Rask(Rockroam), and Asterni (Sea-watch ) supported her. But they were outvoted by Duernab(Greatclaw), Grunan(Wildlands), Erik(North-hold) and Angder(Fang-hold).
 Asterni(South-hold) wanted to know more about 'The Phyrix Collective' But was otherwise disinterested in foreign affairs. Amblos(far-wall) remained quiet thought this, feeling neutral on the whole thing.

The conclusion was that they would continue to isolate and strengthen their borders. They would also continue to push against being involved in foreign affairs barring extreme circumstances.

Only now did they move onto the actions of Setchopia, the nation which assisted in rescuing one of their own. They needed To reward Lionheart's bravery. How?

A long debate followed. Soon they would need to contact Lionheart. Such an act could not go without some official reaction.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray was wandering Mombasa, smiling and waving at his people. He hated thinking of them like that, Ray thought them equal to himself. Ray sighed, as he reached his home, and sat. He wondered if those who had the magic weapons would trade. Those shiny rocks the little bear had found were pretty, but served little to no purpose. Maybe a good way to stop a draft, but they weren't food, they couldn't be shaped into tools. Ray sighed, as he tossed another gem, a large ruby, back and forth idly. The uncut gem was dingy, but glimmered as it caught the light. After a time, Ray wondered if the other rulers were doing well, and wondered if they would consider joining him on a hunt. He snapped, and wrote letters, enough for those at the meeting before the attack, would join him in Mombasa for a bit of sport. About half way through the third letter, Ray stopped. It hadn't occurred to the young raccoon that the others may not be able to read Saranii. He shrugged, and hoped they could translate. After that, Ray asked his messengers, a new batch, to deliver these messages to each of the capitals.
