The Royal Council

[MerlinusCDXX]

I can accept your precautions Cunobelinus, but I'd have to advise against storming into this chamber, though I do so myself from time to time. Chuckles I also understand Bas. Sarpedon's uneasiness with allowing armed men into the council chambers, given the current state of the Arche. How are you, my old Celtic friend? I suggest we reacquaint ourselves with the taverns of this fair city after the day's business is concluded, as we did so many years ago. I have a gift for you. Hands Cunobelinus a large dried green plant, glistening with sticky silver crystals Grown in the mountains outside of Alexandreia Ariane by some new tenants on my Son, Marsyas', own estate. My, oh my, these Gandharans know their business, enjoy. This will be just what you need to keep from killing some folks that just may not deserve it. Laughing

Now, gentlemen, I have another concern looming. That is, Panaitolios Ankyrikos is not taking an active role in commanding his army. I've been required, when my agents report no presence or activity, to issue orders to his bodyguard and reinforcements myself. I grow increasingly concerned that, when the time comes, his captain will be left to lead the entire army against the Makedones. If he does not at least send a representative to this council, I would suggest that a new commander be found for the 1st Lydian Army. I think it imperative that a Satrap be appointed in Mikra Asia, and that he be given an emergency powers writ to command the 1st Lydian, should Ankyrikos be absent on the day of battle. But only you could authorize such an unprecedented thing, Basileios.

OOC: can you move my character for me, then not seen or heard from again. He's been on once in months to make that statement and not seen again.
