To Synedrion (The Royal Council)

[The Celtic Viking]

The man who brought the parchment to the speaker in the agora steps into the floor and waits for the Synedrion to gather. He then speaks up as loud and clear as his voice allows him:

"I am Agathangelos, and I was sent by basileus Antigonos Gonatas to represent him here when he can't attend himself. My first announcement to you here on his behalf is that Krateros Argeades, his older brother, will be the Basilikos Grammateus.

What he wish to be addressed in this emergency session is the Epeirote problem. We all know it: the Molossian king Pyrrhos is in Makedonia and he pose a real threat to Pella. We need to decide how we are to counter this, while still not forgetting about the Hellenes to the south, or the barbarians to the north. Should we separate our forces in the south, so that either Krateros or Antigonos himself march north with their army while the other stays to keep check on the south? Should we seek peace with either faction, and concentrating all our military might on the other?

This is what you have to discuss."

Agathangelos bows.
