Marquis Bellamie of Morcosoer:
"And where are the Conclave troops at them moment? Hiding in Endier of all places. Hardly the most dangerous place in Anuire".
He laughs at his own joke.
"Sorry, that was unbecoming of me, and wholly unwarranted. I have my problems with goblins and undead at the moment, and who knows what might come from the Crown in the future.
My point is that I could well use some free military forces to come to may aid. Soldiers who are only there to help, not score political points. Now, that would be almost like...almost like having someone on the Iron Throne again."
He sits. There is much whispering.
Marquis Bellamie, should my missive of last season have gone astray, I can assure you that you have but to say the word and the Aegis will send troops to your aid - and ask for nothing in return beyond the honour of defending Anuire.
As yet we have no proof of Awnsheghlien involvement in the recent resurgence - though I fear such is but a matter of time - so to draw the Knights away from defence against the goblins of the Spiderfell, or the dark elves and undead of northern Alamie would for now be premature. Doubt the Knights not however - they marched side by side with the Aegis and others to cleanse Morcosoer before and will do so again if the forces of darkness threaten - of that I have no doubt.
As to the matter of excommunication, I can assure the good nobles present that
anything sufficiently ungodly as to bring two thirds of the Conclave to agreement would be condemned in full by them also. Further, as seen in Osoerde of late, redemption is embraced by the Conclave, so pray understand that until the forces of darkness are long forgotten the Knights of Haelyn are no threat to any lord that rules by Haelyn's laws, for they have far more pressing matters to attend to.
