Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maidhc O Casain" data-source="post: 3680819" data-attributes="member: 29558">Queen Máthair"For the present time, I can only reveal to you that there are events afoot that will likely wrack our entire country with strife and change - but from the information I have it appears that we have some time to solidify Domhan into a stable nation and to make some preparations for what is to come.I would tell you more but for two things.First, my own information is sketchy enough that the little I could tell you for certain would only whet your appetites for more, possibly leading you to brash actions that would worsen the situation.  This leads to my second reason.  I am extraordinarily impressed with your actions thus far in my service.  A part of my preparations for what seems to be coming is to strengthen my Bairdéir, both in numbers and in training.  Before I involve you further in these matters, I would offer you entrance to the Coláiste Oiliúna Bairdéir.  Once you complete your studies there (and I have no doubt you'll do well), I would have you formalize your service to me as Bairdéir and work with me to prepare our country for what is to come.Consider carefully, as this choice involves more commitment than simple oaths of obedience to your Queen.  The life of a Bairdéir is one of hardship and privation, of service to your Queen and to Domhan before all else, even when such service is unrecognized by those we serve.Of course, there are compensations that make such service worthwhile to some: the soul deep satisfaction of making our world a better place for those we serve, and the peace and joy of belonging to something larger than ourselves.  The Bairdéir are a true brotherhood, a family incorruptably loyal to each other and to our cause.I ask that you return to your rooms to think on what I offer, to discuss it amongst yourselves.  Take whatever time you need, and inform me of your decision when you are ready."</blockquote>
