I want to point out that we have an internal village board where you can make suggestions and inform about official publications.

[County of Briar]

The Council would like to now ask for your nominations and vote for our third councilman position. You may nominate yourself. The nominee must be a citizen of either Hamlet of Greeenbriar or the Settlement of Caelum.

As the County Council operates by majority vote this person must be able to be impartial, fair and representing the common citizen. The third Councilman is to provide an unbiased viewpoint, favoring neither of the two other councilmen, but the common good of the people.

One nomination has been recieved, that of Harkilo Drogas.

i would like to name Neela Rabenfeder.

she seems to be a good and fair person.

and, i think id would not hurt, if one in the council be of the old language speakers.

We are happy to announce the addition of three citizens to the Hamlet of Greenbriar: Nanik, Franz Strohblum and Bogan Bjolfrson! The speak both the old and new languages and are very excellent individuals. Welcome!

We would also like to announce the addition yesterday of a shrine to the goddess Oldra ((Cross)), the patron of Farmers. Her shrine is located just north of the hedges at the entrance to town. Her much needed aid will be required in the dark days to come, when many warriors will need her aid and sustinence.

We also have a new sign at the entrance to town, with the inscription "Welcome to Green Briar", greeting the many visitors we have had of late. Keep up the good work!

[Neela Rabenfeder]

i nominate tjalf, because of the same reasons who he named. also for the better knowledge of the new language and for more presence in the hamlet of briar.

[Juniper Onyx]

I woke this morning to find a letter of resignation from Alexander as Sheriff. He said he had personal matters to attend to. I would like to thank him for his service and wish him well.

We now have three candidates for the third councilman position for the county. I would like to begin voting.

Either: Harkilo Drogas
Neela Rabenfeder
Tjalf Kormson

Only citizens of the both towns may vote. The polls will be closed in a week and the winner announced.

[County of Briar]

Dear citizens of Greenbriar and Caelum, both of the County of Briar,

We have this day signed an accord with the noble land of Varshikar, a mutual defence treaty. May war never plague these shores!

Mutual Defence Treaty

This treaty is made to ensure the safety and prosperity of Varshikar and The County of Briar.
Both Varshikar and Briar County agree to assist each other in times of invasion. This will include the provision of forces, supplies (where available), arms and armour (where available) and refuge.

Each will put their fighting forces at the others disposal to aid against threats to the others security or to defend their territory against direct threats in times of conflict.
Supplies will include food, clothing and other basic essentials where they are available.
Arms and armor will be supplied to replace losses or to improve defense capability where they are available.
Refuge will be available at all times.

This treaty is signed as a lifelong agreement between Varshikar and the County of Briar.

Signed for Varshikar:
Jeremy “Gems” Willowbrook, Lord of Varshikar

Signed for the County of Briar:
Dusty Bottoms, Mayor of Greenbriar
Cawdor, Lord of Caelum

question

to the
Briar County Council

and to my
fellow councillers of the Hamlet of Greenbriar

we have in our army structure the following inscription:

Second Regiment:
General: Mark Armstrong
Captain “Rothman’s Rangers”: Grant Rothman
Sergeant: (Open)
Troops: (Recruiting)

Captain “ ”:
Sergeant: (Open)
Troops: (Recruiting)

Captain “ ”: (Open)
Sergeant: (Open)
Troops: (Recruiting)

now i hear, that the above mentioned captain, Grant Rothman, has taken to use a title of "Leader of the Rebellion".

in my opinion this might hinder our traditional politics of neutrality.

i recommend, that we suspend his commission temporarily, untill we get better knowledge, how or if his assumed role as "rebell" might influence our oficial politics.
(i, for instance, even ignore, against what or whom he intends to rebell)

as to his citizenship in the hamlet:
i would recommend, not to withdraw this, but make it clear, that he might not use the territory of the Briar for conspirations or foreign politics.

the other councillers send me a dove if you still live and are free.

i decree:

grant rotman is no more a citizen of the green briar!
i kick him out of his post in our militia!
i declare him banned!
i declare him out-lawed! everybody who meets him may kill him.
i ask every knight, soldier, mercenary and adventurer on the islands to hunt him!

this is valid untill mayor Dusty Bottoms is back in one piece and back in office.

to everybody: who will lend the greenbriar money? to be paid back when the planned auction of buildings will be held.
we need money, to offer prices on the head of the outlaw -Grand Rotman- and his followers.

i bid you, to put up a price for the liberation of dusty bottoms, our beloved mayor of the hamlet.

if dusty will not, i will pay you back, coin by coin, as quick as i can.

to

General Mark Armstrong, Second Regiment

sir, please put yourself in contact with me.
one of your officers, grant rotman, has turned criminal, and been declared outlaw.

i expect from you to recruit men, and to hunt that man down.
first objective, to free mayor dusty bottoms
second objective, to kill those outlaws, so that our hamlet never again may be overrun and terrorized by its own officers!

acting mayor tjalf kormsson

[Liles]

Nobody hunt this man. I shall talk to him first. Anyone hunting him will cause harm to Dusty and therefor shall suffer my blade.


Liles.

[Korm Kormsen]

sir Liles,

so talk quick!

once we let us be betterd by godless scum as these, we lost the chance for a peacefull island for all times.

and sir,

anybody excusing this behavior, or trying to give that traitor and deserter of our militia, who attacked his own superior, the town mayor, another choice than inconitional surrender and inconditional setting free of mayor dusty bottoms, will harm our mayor more than any other measure can.

did you not read how this scum writes about cutting the mayors fingers?
by missing code words in dusty's message i have to assume, that he allready is being tortured.

i repeat: so talk quick! i will not retract my call to hunt this disloyal scum down. i am just a farmer with a flail, no match for a fighter like you with a sword.
so if you think, you must threaten me, so be it. i am old enough, to prefer rather to meet my end, than to bend what is right.

tjalf kormsson

[Juniper Onyx]

Friends,

I have been rescued by Liles and am now recovering from my ordeal at home. Aside from losing a finger, I am recovering. The carpenter I have hired has just finished installing some new locks, and we hired a new Sheriff to make patrols. The men that came last night, seem to have gone now and I am happy to say that Greenbriar is secured again.

This whole encounter has made me realize just how precarious peace is, that once it's obtained, you have to remain strong to keep it. We may not have the largest militia, best weapons or largest town, but we have many friends. I thank you all for your concern and assistance during this.

I should be ready to resume business within a day or so. Just don't ask me to do anything too complicated for a while, OK? I used to do several things with ten fingers, but will now have to compensate for one of them. What's really strange is that it 'feels' like it's still there when I can see that it is not. Strange.

Anyway, Thank you all and may peace prevail,
Your Friend,
~Dusty 'of the nine fingers' Bottoms~
~Mayor of Greenbriar~

[Hamlet of Greenbriar]

I would like to happily announce the addition of two new citizens to the Hamlet: Annouka (Halfling) and Halvdan (Dwarf). They have been in Greenbriar several weeks now and both speak the old language. They are good people and freindly. Welcome!

I would also like to announce the hiring of a new Sheriff to keep the peace here, Bogan Bjolfrson. He speaks the old language and I urge you all to welcome him to his new position as he helps us stay safe. Lets also try to hire a few deputies to help him out, alright?

We have also modified the Militia formation for the County after a discussion with Caelum. The Militia's will be contributed by the member cities, wearing their own uniforms, armor and flags, yet fight together in case of conflict. So we will be in control of arming, training and manning our Militia as Caelum will do for theirs. Together it will be an impressive force to aid our allies and keep the peace here.

Commodore Morgenstern sails for our Hamlet, but as there is only one ship so far, he says he will protect the County shores as a whole. He also would also like the town council to discuss the idea of building another ship. I told him we will wait a while to see if we can fill our Militia first, then may have men to spare him.

Thank you,
~Dusty Bottoms, Mayor~

I'd like to welcome the Smith brothers to the Hamlet. They are Mark, John, Paul and Ringo. They have traveled Gobiath and are looking for a place to settle. They are veterans of war, and will also volunteer for part of our Militia to keep us safe. Welcome!

I'd also like to thank Tjalf for his service in my absence. That's exactly why we have aldermen, so no 'one' person is necessary to operate the Hamlet. We have a good system here.

Thank you,
~Dusty Bottoms, Mayor~

[County of Briar]

I have removed 'Grant Rothman, Kevin Lightdot and followers" from our list of enemies. I have realized that Hate must end, and redemption given a chance. I believe Grant was doing what he thought best to save his father. The methods may have been misguided, and I wish it hadn't happened to me, but let's forgive and hope that he changes his ways. He has repented of his deed against me, and I forgive him.

He has the potential to be a force for good. He was a good friend to many of us. Let not one mistake scar an otherwise good reputation.

In forgiveness,

Honourable Mr. Bottoms,

i want to inform you, that my uncle, the alderman Tjalf Kormson is very ill. aparently he got some kind of fever while he hid in the woods, during the time of your absence.

the fever is eating him.
if he lives or dies, lies in the hands of the gods.
the healers have given him up.

yours in great sorrow,

Hagen Delfson

((tjalf is broken since the big servercrash a couple of hours ago))

[Juniper Onyx]

Dear Hagen,

I sincerely wish your uncle Tjalf well, and pray for his recovery. Tjalf Kornson is an exemplary example of a selfless, caring servant of the people. He was always available to lend a hand, help translate with the old language, and offer aid and service to those new to Greenbriar. He was always there, as a rock of a man, acting thoughtfully with long earned wisdom to help those around him. I will pray for his recovery, for the loss of such a man would be missed by all.

In Eternal Friendship,
~Dusty~

Honourable Mr. Bottoms,

i want to inform you, that my uncle, the alderman Tjalf Kormson is aparently tougher, than we and the healers thought.

i will keep you informed.

[County of Briar]

Dearest Citizens,

The new town "Occulte Nocturnalis" operated by the Temple of Bjolmer has claimed and aligned itself with the Hellbriar and Negros, our current enemy, and taken what is officially "Briar County" illegally.

We have been neutral in the past with the Temple of Bjolmer, believing this to be Former Governor Rothman's war, and the Temple has restrained itself in attacking Greenbriar as a result. However this new alignment with our enemy Negros changes things.

We need to discuss this as a community. A physical meeting is too dangerous, I would not ask that, so please post your comments here or by dove.

Shall we:
1) Declare war upon them immediately and seek allies to reclaim what is rightfully ours?

2) Stay Neutral and accept their claim, giving up on South Briar?

3) Accept them as a new city and ask they join the County?

Please comment on this, as action of some sort must be taken one way or the other. We will not be the only ones concerned about this joining of the Temple, which we have been neutral with and Negros' Hellbriar, which is our enemy. We must make a decision on our stance on this when other nations begin to express their views.

[Ku 'Agor]

Horde will help reclaim land.

Ku!

to mayor dusty bottoms, hamlet of greenbriar

dear Dusty,

i write this from my sickbed, (which i hope to leave in the next days)

the volcano and occasionly apearing undeads are one thing.
a official claim to part of our territioy is another case.

1) do we have the manpower, to vence them now? i think not.
so if we officially declare war on them now it will be only an excuse for the dark forces to assault us further.
(see the declaration of war the dwarves made, without being prepared)
i thought, that our existing laws allready ban those undead and followers of the evil.
so we can fight them in our own territory, without giving their leaders a "reason" to attack.

2) my stance: never give in to the bad guys, less you want them to come again.

3) i dont see the advantage. or did they made an offer, to compensate us for our loss of territory?

my number 4) - muster the avaiable fonds, and build a wall without gate from shore to shore. a few paces north of the entrance of the vulcano. than the place should be useless to the dark forces. (i could give a mere 5 silvers, times are bad)

you are right, the time for neutral standing is over.
(now i am content, that i trained some young fighters, they are nearly fit, to form part of the militia. some of them allready are able, to teach most of the robbers some good behaviour. most of them are relatives of mine.)

i welcome your step, to come to an understanding with the bloodsculhorde.
(although i have to talk with their leader about a question of honor, concerning one my nephews.)

[Juniper Onyx]

Friends,

I have done my best to get Briar County prepared for this, but I am afraid that by ourselves we are too few to stage a war. If we were to choose option 1, the rest of Gobiath surely would help, but I am afraid we could not live in safety in Greenbriar until the foe is defeated. We would have to leave our homes for now and seek refuge elsewhere.

Yet, if we do not stand up to this evil, we doom ourselves to being 'supporters' of it by the rest of Gobiath. We become a part of it, even if we insist on neutrality, option 2, even more so option 3. If the County wishes to embrace the new city, I will not oppose. I even have a few friends that have become aligned with this new city simply because they are not welcome in Trollsbane anymore. They are not evil, but the chaos that has existed since Governor Rothman's invasion of Silverbrand has created wars within wars, and parties that were kept in check, are now vying for power, causing those that oppose them to do things they ordinarily wouldn't.

That is the cost....that is the price. The fallout from TrollsBane's chaos has fallen on our shores, and we must deal with it. Alone if need be.

This is why I have put this before you all. We must decide together, how our future will be. I fear this isn't an easy answer.

In Service,
~Dusty Bottoms, Mayor of Greenbriar~

[Avalyon el'Hattarr]

I don't think that this new town should be treaten with hostility.. Even if they wrongfully claimed the land, still we have no right to see them as fowes, at least until they prove to bring harm to our land. If you simplly don't like them, then take the advice of building a wall and bann them from entering the town.
Please consider this, because again i say that we have no right to see them as enemys until they prove to be so.

With deep respect,
~Sir Avalyon el'Hattarr of Caelum~
