A simple enough letter is sent to Rennik, Rhuk Nor, Selsi, Kythaela, Mae Stern, Narwen, Zol Nur, Estellise, Aurelio, Bashir and Argent specifically.

Council Members, Collaborators, Friends and Rivals all,

There shall be a War Council meeting soon! The exact date and time are yet to be decided, but you will be made aware.

I will bring this item forward to the Agenda: "Supply Requisition and Priority."

Get your opinions and your takes on the subject ready, and we'll meet and talk and come to a consensus soon!

You are all encouraged to bring items of your own agenda forward too. I look forward to seeing you there.



Mirielle Rosseau
WARMASTER

[M.R.]

Dragon,

Expedition is already in the planning stages.

Going to have to make some hard choices soon.

M.R.

[M.R.]

Dragon,

You will find some paperwork enclosed that gives you an official position on the War Council.

It's not much of a parachute, but it's something.

Besides, if you lose I think you're going to want to blow some shit up.

M.R.

Artillery Attaché
Argent Argyris

The Artillery Attaché's job is to specifically coordinate the Artillery Team during operations where artillery will be used, and elsewise to cultivate a team of men skilled in their use. They answer to the Chain of Command.

[M.R.]

Mademoiselle Legate,

I think the time draws near to pardon Recluta Melody for her crimes, if you still intend to do so. I have touched upon the subject with Dante, and he has informed me that any singular Legate may issue a pardon, and that he has no interest at all in countermanding your doing it.

It seems the Janissaries will probably pressure him for the rest of his term if he does it, but you are leaving office soon anyway, oui?

M.R.

[M.R.]

Apothar,

I'll see you up on the Divan.

M.R.

[M.R.]

Colmes,

It is done.

I'll see you on the Divan soon, I am sure.

M.R.

[The Seat of Rite]

Apothar,

I have a position upon the War Council I believe will be perfectly suited for you:

The Seat of Rite

The Seat of Rite is the War Council's chief advisor on matters of magic and rite, responsible for guiding the Warmaster with divinations, interpreting omens and leading rituals to fortify the Well's War Camp as it travels across the Scald. This role should coordinate the Well's cadre of ritualists, occultists, seers and religious scholars, channeling their expertise to interpret signs, forecast potential outcomes, and perform rites that sanctify and protect the Well's soldiery or bring doom upon their foes.

What do you think?

If you would prefer not to be the project manager, there is someone who is very eager to be, and you could just coordinate with them.

M.R.

[The Seat of Intelligence]

Lieutenant,

I am sure you have heard I have continued Rhuk Nor's appointment.

If you want to be Commander, I will not begrudge you. Fair is fair!

I have kept the seat vacant until you decide.

But I think the best use for a man of your talents would be the Seat of Intelligence.

I offered it to Arnock, but he really does seem dead set on this whole human sacrifice thing. I don't like it, but what can you do?

The Seat of Intelligence

The Seat of Intelligence is the War Council's primary authority on espionage, scouting, reconnaissance, and diplomatic affairs, directly supporting the War Council's strategic objectives. This role coordinates the Well's network of sneaks, scouts, and assorted spies to gather critical information on enemy movements, vulnerabilities, and alliances, ensuring the War Council makes informed, tactical decisions.

Serve, or don't serve. Commander, or Spymaster, it is up to you.

M.R.

A letter, and contract, delivered to Zina's Shoppe...

Sweet mademoiselle,

For your reading pleasure.

Just need to fill in a date, and signatures from a company representative and yourself!

M.R.

The Banda Rossa hereby agrees to provide protection to the merchant, Zina Zizzo, and her Trade Hall during operational hours. Upon receipt of notification of the commencement of her business activities, available recruits of the Banda Rossa Recluta will be dispatched to her location if not otherwise on assignment.

Said Recluta shall be encouraged to obtain an Arms-Bearing License, enabling them to employ necessary force in defense of Zina Zizzo's property and person.

Furthermore, the Banda Rossa shall act as a Guarantor for Zina Zizzo's loans, exercising its authority over the Krak des Roses as leverage against debtors. Any individual found to be in default of a loan contract duly executed by both parties shall be prohibited from entering the Krak des Roses until full repayment is made. The Banda Rossa shall be authorized to collect such debts, with recovered funds to be allocated in equal shares (50/50) between the Banda Rossa and Zina Zizzo.

In the event that Zina Zizzo is harmed, her property is unlawfully damaged or seized, or her contractual agreements are violated by any third party, the Banda Rossa shall exact retribution against the offending party. This retribution may include, but is not limited to, the use of force, confiscation of assets, or other acts "above and beyond" deemed necessary by the Banda Rossa to restore justice and protect the interests and good name of Zina Zizzo, or avenge her death.

The Banda Rossa will make a public announcement of this agreement, and make sure that it will be public knowledge that aggression against Zina Zizzo is seen internally as aggression against them.

In consideration for these services, Zina Zizzo agrees to remit to the Banda Rossa the sum of four thousand dinari (4,000 dinari) per month, payable on the ____ of each month. The terms of this agreement shall be subject to renegotiation at renewal, and lack of renewal will be seen as an end of contract rather than a breach of it's terms.

Another letter.

Dragon!

I've heard about Ahmet's pickle.

So many things he wants, and with so little leverage over you to get them.

People breathing down his neck, making demands of him, demands that he passes on to you, and that you rebuff.

Because he will not give you anything for it.

I also know of your liquidity issues. Recent times have been kind to my purse, and I am willing to relieve you of it, somewhat!

Five thousand dinari up front, and another ten if I take the seat.

Make me Warmaster, and in exchange, give him something he wants.

If he doesn't take it, you just made a free five thousand dinari. If he does, then you get another ten to help you cover your investments and debts.

This is a limited window of opportunity. It might not even work. But we do not have much time.

M.R.

[Mirielle Rosseau]

Acolytes & Sisters,

It is rare that I write, I know.

I am calling in a favor. I'm not sure where the balance lies between us, truly. I suspect some of you owe me, and I owe some of you. If you need something from me, just let me know.

I am going to lay my cards on the table, here.

I want to be the Warmaster. There are numerous ways in which this is beneficial to the both of our organizations, and I won't insult you by spelling them all out.

Our time is limited. The last two candidates you have supported have refused to budge on the subject, and delayed my seizure of the main seat of the Divan for three months now.

It almost feels deliberate, at this point.

Marcellus, twice. And now Ahmet.

Please remedy this problem for the next election.

Another letter.

Dragon,

If it was not obvious, I do still wish to the Warmaster!

A Recluta told me you said I didn't want it anymore, so I am writing this letter to clarify.

I'm not sure if I lied to you and said I don't want it anymore (I did this to many of Ahmet's supporters so they would not campaign on keeping me out of the position) or if you are lying but I thought I'd clarify in case you were otherwise unaware.

I do not just want it, even. I need it. The Great Serdar and La Capitana both await the day I seize hold of this war with baited breath.

M.R.

[M.R.]

A ledger, simply labeled "Kanon Hray Election" is delivered to The Dragon's office...

Dragon,

I understand you will not be paying for my vote.

Alas, it is something of a hostage situation, considering the other two parties want to kill me.

Figured I'd do some due diligence here and give you my projections for this election.

M.R.

[M.R.]

A tidily written letter is delivered to the Tower of Q'tolip for Mae.

Mae,

I heard your sending.

Alas, it seems our schedules align less and less these days and I am deprived your company during my normal waking hours. This is regrettable.

Let's remedy this and meet up soon, over the weeks end, so that we might catch up.

I'll bring the wine.

Until Then!

M.R.
