I am leaving the City. This is my formal resignation.

This Council, far from being the force for the people, and their voice, has been far too interested in factional disputes rather than communal effort to the betterment of all. The Council may have been born from a single goal, but to be festering in this mentality for far too long without a new goal has weighed too heavy on me. Therefore I leave this Council to seek my path as a warrior.

When you have want or need of me, I will be in Thunderholme. If letters reach there still, they will find me.

May the foundations of the City be more solid than I think.

First, the reason Bronimir's so adamant about hunting down Nazim and the bandits to the north is because they slighted him, several times. His chief motivation before then was always being paid and to finish a contract. It's only when this matter's settled that we can test if his loyalties have changed.

Second, we've pointed out several times how idiocy is accepted on this Council due to your own actions, Bryce. Or perhaps the word is just pigheadedness.

Either way I'm not opposed to him being brought onto this Council, as the seats feel empty of late.

It would help all involved to know that the "Bedine" peoples are not quite as monolithic as one may or may not see them. Each leader of note (Nazim and Jafur so far, to my knowledge) has a vote on the "Synod". A body similar to this Council I think, by context.

Nazim in particular is breaking some forms of taboo by rescuing Rend and sheltering him, which will bring ire from Jafur when he knows, if he doesn't now. It is also true that myself and others aided in the spectacularly failed defense of their Vanishing City, where Nazim had been sheltering. More on that event in some other file if pressed.

//Fridays ~9AM - 3PM is the only hours I can guarantee as free, that isn't "dead of night" 11PM - 3AM on most other days.

Given how much it's been discussed it's already a matter of importance to this Council. Making a vote of it is a waste of time, effort, and air.

Instead of making a grand display out of it I would have just proposed to put the damned thing in the Council's storage, where Naresh can still relinquish it and it will be well guarded under neutral terms. Whomever enters the Council chambers passes by the Militia, the clerks, and typically Drakebane, and an invisible hand would still need to open the door.

As to who should remove the piece from that storage, or if it should be turned over to another body is a more worthy discussion. Then again I doubt that this Council will go forth with that method.

[Instead of anything new, a copy of a previous discussion is placed.]

If you want order and justice, and to show that no one man is above it, then why resort to removing a member of the Council rather than charging them with the crimes they have committed. Unless you're trying to say they are abusing their position on this Council.

-Councilor Grurec, son of Torunden

If you want someone removed from this Council, who holds a seat on this Council by way of their membership with one group or another, at least have the decency to suggest who among their number may be better suited.

Nethki and Shadow are the two I know of the most, and Shadow rather likes living up to his name.

Depending on how you view "trusting the Council" I might also not trust it. Still, it is true on matter of magic that Levi keeps quiet of his findings until he's thoroughly investigated them, as any wizard does. I find this to be less of a lack of cooperation with the Council and more a greater cooperation with the Precept.

To be frank I'm not sure why he hasn't joined the Precept, as the foremost gathering of mages in the city. I remember he had his reasons but I can't remember them.

[Grurec roughly takes the parchment after seeing it, writing in some things.]

Crimes:
Necromancy (Magical Crimes)
Armed Assault (of Eveningstar)
Murder

Wanted:
Rend
Tobias Gibbs
Jack Wild (So-called Scarlet Dragon/Viceroy)
Clark Skinner
anyone claiming membership of the Scarlet Cult or Scarlet Syndicate (willingly)

If this matter was actually concerning then it wouldn't have taken two tenday for any response to be made.
