Our fair assembly begun with a poem given by a halfling dubbed Flynnfer Applehand.

 

The Dance of the Blind

Our setting, two camps separated by a jade battlefield…

Civil war danced here, gore: this plain’s only yield!

Arid winds blew across the hills, chilling to the bone…

As morrow came, men’s hearts turned to stone.

Ser Mund, came staggering forth, a most honorable knight.

Yet sun’s light did not bother, because sword had taken his sight...

That skirmish, had also made corpses out of fellows to boot.

His mind centered: revenge! A highborn turned brute…

Squires armed him, clad his exterior in iron, tabard, and steel…

By simple touch he spread scorching rage, now none could feel.

Wild shouts! Frothing mouths! And cries of war could be heard...

Plans tactics, and formations: all forgotten, replaced.

From Footman to general, they all hungered to waste!

The cavalry, our knight amongst them, lowered their lances.

Upon its gleaming tip, they attempted to check the enemies’ advances!

With nails, teeth, lance, and greatsword, without logic nor reason, he slew!

Friends and allies, enemies and foes! Another kill with every hew!

Invincibility in the darkness only he felt, singing “Leave none alive!”

He made his way through the ranks, anger once locked away now did thrive!

Now, the violence had stopped, all laid slain, except for the blind.

The storm had passed, scavengers sallied forth, yet they found a knight, left behind…

There Ser Mund still fighting in the dark, singing a song that was hollow.

A knight, blinded by more than a sword, left to wallow.

Reading over the minutes, Chadwick halts over the 3^rd proposal.

 

“We never voted on me paying the bill! The writer twists the minutes to his own will!

I would like to start legal proceedings!”

These treaties and oaths tie the Golden City of Ves to the rule of the Holy Orenian Empire, ruled by Joseph I

 

Cassian read over this with wide eyes, speaking after a moment “By the Creator the Holy Orenian Empire has returned, and under just rule! I look forward to the day that peace and order are brought back, and the false-Emperor of the rebellion is quashed.”
