The Gathering Of Nobles.

[Kickstarted and Running 965]

Alexander growls slightly, shooting a menacing look at his father before sitting down, maintaining his usual face, and holding his wife's hand once again

"Whatever you say father"

[Beneh 227]

Elroy remained seated , looking around at the faces of the Nobles , noting a little of their personalities whenever he could in his head. Elroy had been rather quiet thus far and he intended to keep it that way unless asked to speak or asked a question , for he did not wish to start up any fuss , he merely wished to learn who they all were , what they were like and who could become good friends and ally's.

Alai silently takes a seat besides Aerios at the table, keeping his eyes fixedly upon the Emperor himself. He hadn't traveled with any compatriots of his own, and instead shuffled in behind Aerios as they arrived. As the meeting commences, Alai gives a few fleeting glances to the Duchess Helaine and Duke Balian.

*Duke Jack Amador wanders threw the door in his old worn battle armour glancing around at the filled room and staggers over to an empty seat.

Tamare stumbles to the meeting, a thick cloud of exhaustion and frustration hangs over her. She had underestimated the distance and decided not to take a horse, but did have a guard tag along. She trips up as she enters, but makes sure to straighten up so she doesn't leave any bad impressions. As she spots Strife in his seat, she dismisses the guard and cheerfully walks towards him, her frustration and exhaustion slowly dissipating.

"Strife! You should learn to stop leaving me behind! Otherwise, I'd just look like another peasant." She takes a spot alongside Strife, glancing up at him with a confused and dazed look. She soon shakes off the confusion, simply humming to herself as she looks around at the other nobles. She suddenly sinks into her seat, seeing that the rest of the nobles are much more powerful and superior to her. She leans over to whisper to Strife.

"Never thought a few nobles could make me feel so small." She resumes back to her regular position, waiting for the meeting to start.

Alai spreads his hands on the table in front of him as the final few nobles dribble in, his right being cocked in the habit of a professional swordsman. As they enter, his eyes flicker at each piece of clothing or jewelery while he attempts to recall names and faces.

(I would like, the posters to describe there charicter, more so that people might be able to notice things, on you person etc, your status in the Empire etc, for example Heralds with family colors, rings, cloths, jewels, hair, eyes,etc, do you look tired, happy etc. All landed titles in the Empire gets you a item with it, for example Barons receive, the Dragon Badge, its sliver made with a dragon head, carved in it, that you hang on your coat, Counts have the Dragon medallion, Dukes both have the Dragon medallion + a Crown circlet along the lines of this.

Also I saw none, being introduced by there own Herald, when you come into a meeting or a court with nobles, your personal herald announces your arrival when you enter with your full title. I hope the next post well be more in detail ))

*Viscount Arthur Nicolas Silverblade II enters the location of the gathering knowing that not all nobles will recognize him. He comes with a sorrow dark face bringing in news of great lengths. He comes with reasoning of the recent disappearance of Nicolas Silverblade. Before he begins to speak out the truth, he sits down in a spot next to familiar lords.*

*He clears his throat grabbing attention from the other lords attempting to get his word out. "Greetings to all, My name is Viscount Arthur, House of Silverblade. Some of you might not know this, but I'm the first son of Nicolas Silveblade and I stand here today representing him and the family. Thou I come with sad news that my father has recently disappeared and gone missing for a couple elven weeks. Please do not fright as I have sent out all of our good men to look for him. That is all." Arthur returns to his seat and begins to mingle with the some new lords trying to show his respect and honor.

(( What do landed Knights receive? So when I post I can describe what I am wearing in detail. ))

(Knights in general would wear there Knight wear fully, its all described in the knights post + landed knights would have a badge instead of sliver it would be iron most likely)

Alexander absently twirls his Griffen emblazoned ring on his finger, his circlet of gold with emeralds in it sitting on the table in front of him. He stares with his cold eyes and hard face at the gathering, picking out who matters, who thinks they matter, and who actually does matter based on merit and actual usefulness.

He makes a mental note of who to talk to if he ever needs assistance or wants to share glory with someone. He pulls a servent over to him with a beckoning of the hand and whispers something to him. The man nods, gulps, and seems to continue his work.

Alexander talks with Patrick for a moment then turns and smiles slightly at his wife, still holding her hand and leans in close to her, whispering to her and smiling softly enough only those close can see.

The waiter from before seems to hesitate for a moment near Alai, and then trips, spilling wine all over the table and him. Alexander sees this and gives a faint devious smile as the servent seems to run like Hell itself was after him

Alexander gives an amused sound and puts his ring on his finger after giving his finger a rub. He went back to paying attention to his beloved wife whispering to her and smiling faintly

*Duke Jack Amador looks around the room inpatiantly wondering who else is of importants and why we are still waiting as he finishes his second bottle of wine.

Alai lounges silently at the table, one hand firmly grasped around the head of a glass of wine, the vacant being move to run it's fingers over the smooth intricacies of his medallion. Looking up to an approaching servant, he notices the man stops in front of him, swaying back and forth with some hesitance. Alai draws breath to speak, but does not let out his words before the servant stumbles next to him, sending bright red wines all over his clothing. Alai hastily pushes himself out of his seat, looking down at the mess of soaking and stained attire than he now wears, his mouth slightly ajar in disbelief. He looks up to the others at the table, his arms stretched away from his sides as his sleeves drip, his previously relaxed expression now supplanted with something a mix of horror and shame. Meticulous in his nature, Alai sought the looks of the others at the table, attempting to spy any who could have assigned the poor soul to such a task. Having not the slightest suspicion of who could have done this wrong doing, he composes himself out of such an uncharacteristic stature. Leaning over to speak quietly and briefly with Aerios, he swiftly exits the room to change.

Ariana notices the man bowing to her. She does not immediately recognize him, but figures him for being one of the many scribes that her friend Kernith had hired. "I did not mean to intrude on your enjoyment of the ceremonies, esteemed Countess, but your guest does not appear on the registries. Could you please introduce him?" He says quietly. Ariana fiddles with her medallion for a bit and replies just as quietly. "This is my husband, who is the count of Carcasonne and lord of Sanctum. I suppose I should have been more present in the fact that he had acquired this title. I assume this is not a problem?" With that, Ariana goes to sit close to Duke Balain and his family.

Alexander lets out a laugh as the man exits, a harsh one full of malice.

"I don't even think he was a noble. Why is he here and what is his title?"
