Start of the Winter season of 1221. For this day the snow have come to Novus Mane and Aeliauns have summoned to a new council meeting. He have over the past seasons been occupied with first the construction of both his new fishing fleet and then his contribution to the magical items contest. Then his attention turned to the tribunal and the preparation for his initiation into the confraternity and the attempt to make Novus mane’s area into a self ruling commune. Aelianus have realised that the covenant managing takes a great deal of more time then he thought that it would do.
[color=red]Soldaes welcome to our council table. Aelianus pause for a moment. [color=red]I have an announcement that I wish to make. First of all as you have noticed our village is trying and in some way succeeding into becoming independent with a self ruling council. I intend that we will rule this new founded commune with informal power as we are the largest employer and owns most of the houses. This is a project that might cause some strife but then again it will give our covenant greater glory in the long run. We will not bow our backs to some mundane.
Now however to the big news... Aelianus pauses yet again for a bit of dramatic effect. [color=red]I have decided to allow each and everyone of my soldaes to become senior magi of Novus Mane thus your voice are now equal to my own in this council. Each and every one of you my soldaes however still have the right to do as you wish with your own personal resources, they are not bound by the council unless they affect the covenant in some greater way.
[color=red]Now raise your glass and we bring out a toast to your new position of power here at Novus Mane. Aelianus raise his glass and smiles at his soldaes.
Diodorus lies on a shelf in the council room looking at the magi and thinking to himself. Now my pet magus have a way with words. He tries to convince his soldaes that they are getting a reward when they are just taking the burden of his back. Well… humans… Diodorus close his eyes and tries to sleep.
