Conner has been asked to sit on the council as he is in charge of the magical communication system that he has established with the Lucindites who have chosen to aid Hilm against the Cult.

Dezza:
This morning Queen Mouring has told the War Council, that is slowly starting to form as people continue to arrive from other nations supporting the war effort, that she has sent word to King Bryant of Erilyn asking for his support in the ensuing war and expects to hear back from him soon.

Dezza:
At the afternoon session Queen Mouring announces that she has received word from Lord Rael with an offer.

She reads the letter aloud for all to hear. (the contents are made public)

*To those gathered from the Benevolant (and several other lofty titles) Lord Rael,

Despite my efforts over the years there are still those who sow mistrust and try to discredit my name and the people of my kingdom. This has been despite many attempts to show good will, decency, respect of the Rofireinites beliefs of the Law and care for the people of my land, both new and old.

In this war against the Dragon Cult I have clearly made my thoughts known to Queen Mouring and in the absence of any sense that my help is wanted I had decided to take the war to the Cult myself.

However, in consideration of military tactics and advice from my generals, and in my growing wisdom and desire to foster a good working relationship with those in the world who show strong principles in law and order I have reconsidered.

My generals are planning a full scale strike against the Cult, my soldiers are arguably amongst the best in the world and if the War Council decides my help is welcome and officially asks for my support then they shall have it.

I offer the opportunity to strike the Cult from below with a powerful force.
I also offer 5 Phalanxes of Elite heavy infantry, a sum total of 10,000 soldiers for your use on the ground in Hilm.
I also offer numerous seige engines of war to use against the Cult forces that it seems will inevitably strike at Hilm Castle. I know that's what I would do if I was in their position. Hilm Castle is the lynchpin of the Cults entire operation based on the intelligence I have received. Once they take the castle and Albon its as good as over..

All these things I offer to those seeking to defeat the Cult in exchange for a personal request from the War Council, signed by every member for my assistance in this war and recognition when its over of my support.*

"What do we think about this?" The Queen looks around those gathered.

--- Quote from: Dezza ---The farms and lands around Briardusk are burning out of control at the moment and people are running for the city as during the early hours of the morning a huge dragon breathed fiery destruction on the fields and orchards that sustain the people of Briardusk.

The massive red dragon, often seen on the Kuhl/Hilm border, circled the city again and again until huge walls of flame stretched for miles and surrounded the entire city. Militia and soldiers watched helpless as farmstead after farmstead was raised to the ground, many would have perished in the sudden attack.

Surrounded by flame the citizens and soldiery are unable to do anything until the conflagration dies down. Already people are talking about fleeing north to Hilm Castle. Surely they will be safe there?

Rumor has it that when Commander Stormhaven heard the news she slammed her fist on her desk with such force that the pictures on the wall shook.  It's said that she spoke softly, with pain in her voice, as she uttered a quiet prayer to Toran.   She then stood and left the room, a firey conviction in her eyes as she walked down the hall towards the War Council, muttering as she walked off, "That's what becomes of indecision."

A pale and very bruised Argali Trueaxe, on hearing the commotion, does her best to hobble after the Lady Commander.

"He would have done that anyway, whateverr we had agrreed," she croaks hoarsely. "He iz always maintaining the appearances forr whomeverr might be watching. And if that means burrning whole town, zo be it. He does not carre.

"We arre probably dealing with the most dangerrous of drragons. The one who iz zecond, who would be firrst.

"Rememberr, he iz not helping us. He iz trrying to win, whateverr way he can."
