Except for two events, one being a council is called for the Circle of the Phoenix, as we have been dubbed, and Inelliron, Korienne, the Duke all in attendance. Here Xath presides and lays out what our final wishes are and who we serve. As with all the population, it is not an easy leap to turn on teh king and kingdom you have trusted you whole life. Each piece of evidence and each falsehood we can link to King Tain will wither away that much more of their long standing blind faith in Tain. The other event is also presided over by Xath. Though I introduce her and the circle stands round, she is the one to give voice in a speech to the people of Hywrl and New Oceanus. But this is only the beginning, today also starts her small group speeches and songs and tales to the people throughout Hywrl and New Oceanus. Though she makes the official statements, some of her newly trained bards spread the stories as well. Our little circle also tries to lend our voice to those we feel it may add weight. Some are easy to change and easy to accept what we say, while others… time, time is needed. At the end Justice proudly steps forward and with Kareth’s help unfurrel’s the banner of the Phoenix army. Great cheers go up from some, but as we expected some are more hesitant. Xath proudly looks on at the combined imagination and work they both put into it. Justice has already told us that tomorrow she will set others to work, so we may have more then one. The more the people see of them the more solidified they become in their minds. Walking from Hywrl to New Oceanus I see the beginnings of our fortifications. They may not be much, but we need something and fast. The walls are to be earth and wood, made stronger then normal by magic, but stone we just can not get. If time permits we will build something stronger. I see my regent walking the north wall quietly tightening his spell of vines around the inner city. I cautiously approach him. There are many things I still do not know, but as I close and hear his mutterings know him to be a green mage. Rarely known about, I glance around, but not seeing anyone speak in our mutual secret language. He must have known for he merely nods his head. Later we would share our differing knowledge, but from this was to be the only time we spoke in the language of our magic.</blockquote>
