Thank you Brother Hermant for clearing up the legalities. It is a bit tricky but I am sure we will get used to it in no time. Brother Gaspard while you hold the position of Steward without owning Antwerp during the Council Session you can not prioritize units, but you can set a build queue. I have informed the Seneshal of this so pleas give him the appropriate orders. (OOC: Updated your SoT)

Speaking of the Seneshal. His report gives a good outline of the situation facing us. Defeating Emperor Maximilian is our highest priority right now, but we also have to look out for the safety of Antwerp. I feel it would be best if one of us volunteered to devote his actions this term to the defense of Antwerp. Whoever steps forward would not miss out in repelling the German Emperor but would depart immediately thereafter to ensure the safety of Antwerp. It is still quiet right now, but Antwerp lies within two seasons march of Hamburg, a mighty Castle in the north, so we should be careful.

Concerning the defense of Frankfurt I will leave this up to the King for now, although I haven't heard from him yet. Either way the Order will stand its ground and assist in keeping our borders clean of German scum!
