Frosty nods. "Hm... speaking of Aspirants... how does everyone feel about the new names for everything in the new system? Dedicants, or Aspirants? Druids, or Druid Walkers? Haven't really discussed the names themselves, but I've heard that many prefer the old terminology, regardless of the system they're used in. Milo, Leyun?" ((Anyone here who wants to change Aspirants and Druid Walkers back to Dedicants and Druids (But still keep the new system for now, as well as Elder Druid)? I've gotten the feeling that is wanted.

Frosty frowns slighty, a contemplative expression forming on his face. "But surely to effectively teach Aspirants we must have a base of operations, so to speak? How would they find us were we to roam about constantly, and never return to the Grove? While I agree on the subject of being active and going out into nature to aid it, there is plenty of work to be done in and around Malinor. We are currently few in number... we have more Aspirants than actual living, active Druids. In my opinion, the Grove is an important place where the Order should be centered around. Rather than leave the rest of Anthos to come 'visit' the Grove, I think one should take frequent trips /from/ the Grove, out into nature." He pauses, then sighs and continues. "Being centered in one place has its benefits. However, I do agree that the Order has been inactive for quite some time now, and that this needs to be remedied. Unfortunately, as I mentioned a moment ago, there are only a few of us left. I can count on my hands how many... do you perhaps have a solution that /doesn't/ leave the Grove empty and what is left of the Order scattered across Anthos?"

Frosty sighs at Arial's comment of the Aspects, and leans over to whisper something to her.

Frosty frowns slightly. "This is unfortunate... I quite liked him. What actions would you suggest we take?"

Frosty nods in Leyun's direction "Those are all the topics I had to discuss."

Frosty sighs "I do. I suppose then, that Arial will continue to care for the child then, as I see no reason not to allow it... and although I was hoping for more information... it seems no one present possesses any. Just a reminder, Arik still wanders around somewhere out there, corrupted by the taint. I strongly caution all of you to inform others if he is sighted, but not get involved or interact with him. Additionally, the Lost Druid board is getting a bit full. I believe it is time to clean it up a bit, remove those who we do not believe will be returning. Now, the last topic. What are the opinions you all have on the Equinox System? Does it seem to be working in your opinions, or not? What could we do better? I'm looking for any and all ideas you may have."

Frosty flinches slightly, turning to face her "Yes?"

Frosty raises an eyebrow in Arial's direction. "While yes, I believe it may have been Cerridwen that spoke to us, there is little reason apparant to us for the Aspects to become directly involved with this child. I am unsure what to make of this... but regardless, the voice clearly said for us to protect it, and the child has grown quite attached to you. As for the tower... I feel that we would be hard pressed to destroy it. When I spoke to the figure within it it spoke of repairs it had made to a large explosion in the tower. The tower seems to have appeared overnight almost, and the creature repaired it's damage (of what origin I do not know) within an elven day or two. I think that we should be prepared, but also that diplomacy will be the best course of action should problems arise. As I mentioned earlier, the creature that appears to be the master of the tower seems far more reasonable than the rest of the Scourge."

"I would certainly hope so. Anyways... if that's all, the next topic sits in front of you." He gestures to the twig-babbeh, roaming around eating random plants. "I will allow Arial to explain, as she was present for the event longer than I."

He raises an eyebrow in Milo's direction. "Easier said than done. Do you have any ideas yourself perhaps?"

Frosty nods in agreement, and responds. "All right... Milo is now an Elder Druid. Now... the tower itself hasn't presented any danger, but its sudden appearance and mysterious nature worries me. I met a fellow inside it the other elven day... and from his voice I believe I recognized him as one of the Scourge. He actually seemed quite sophisticated and peaceful in comparison to the rest... but nevertheless the tower is most assuredly in relation to the Black Scourge. As of yet... it hasn't become a threat, but I fear it may in the future. Is there anyone present who knows more of it?"

Frosty waits for Leyun's response~

Frosty frowns slightly, turning to face Leyun. "Leyun, you still agree for Milo to be made Elder Druid yes? If so then I suppose it is official as of this Moot."

-doublesnip-

-snip-

Frosty nods. "And I'm sure he will do a fine job in Callax's stead."

He frowns, rubbing his beard. "... We have already begun. We were discussing your becoming an Elder Druid. We await only Leyun's arrival at the moment, so she can confirm that she still agrees with the decision."

Frosty doesn't seem to notice Milo's nod, being blind. He drums his fingers on the arm of the chair when Arial makes her appearance and nods in her direction.

Frosty nods to Elorna "Aye, that is our next topic. Since we started the Moot a bit early we should probably wait for Leyun to arrive before progressing, however. Does anyone else have opinions to share of Milo's becoming an Elder Druid?" ((warlord, pls stahp. Ye can murder meh outside of Moots you haven't been invited to <3))

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" Frosty listens to the shout echo through the forest, then turns and heads into the Grove. He walks up the stairs into the Moot room and stands in front of a seat in the back, then begins the Moot. "As we all know, the corruption in Malinor has been taken care of. No longer does nature suffer from the infection that has blighted it as of late. But... this outcome came with a cost. Callax, Leyun, Aeras, Milo, Ernest, Faolin and I went down into the depths of the cave to eradicate the source... but Callax and Ernest did not leave with us. Ernest has been corrupted by the apparition which guarded the source tree, and has vanished... and Callax perished in the process of destroying the source itself. Aside from being a terrible tragedy... this also dwindles our numbers even further. As of late, The Shroom Druid, Milo, has been quite active in the regrowth of Malinor, and as per the wishes of Callax himself has been chosen to fill his place as the Elder Druid of Summer. Unless there is some occurance or change of opinions that I have not been yet informed of, Leyun and I have both agreed that he will from hereon take up the position, should he still be willing." With that, he takes a seat in the chair and awaits Leyun's arrival, as well as the opinions of those present. ((Those of you who haven't been made aware of the Moot IC/aren't Druids, *please* refrain from getting involved. kthxbye~))

((Frosty grows a flower and makes Bubbub sneeze until he dies to death. <3

Frosty hesitates, then shrugs and bows to the group respectfully. "I will do the best I can to fulfill the position of Elder Druid."

Frosty remains silent, listening for the feedback and opinions of the Order.

Frosty frowns, staying silent in his corner, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Frosty lowers his head sadly. "Every moment we waste, the infection grows stronger."
