[Cel] [Actions] Mir 1423

The Archmage was in a fowl temper.  He marched through
the great hall of the dragon barracks followed by his
acoyltes and apprentices.  The sorcerers, and the
palace staff had quickly learned over the past week to
stay out of his way.  His normally calm fatherly
expression had taken on it a scowl that hightened the
scare by his right eye.  Archmages who blessed Mir
with growth or knowelgde or conquest were given title
names and the Archmage Eubratosa had recieved the
title of Father.  Even now the Sorcerers and the army
had discovered how true that statement was.

The granite floors of the hall echoed as the Archmages
boot came in contact with the floor.  The Archmages
booted feet walked over the groves and holes that had
been formed by centuries of dragons claws walking upon
these floors.

The iron doors that opened into the Council hall swung
open at the Archmages aproch.  The Council Hall was a
large room easly able to hold three dozen people
easly.  Bookcase were lined along two of the walls. 
These were full to overflowing with maps and journals
and charts.  Along the wall facing the door stood a
large map of qaiyore, and all around it were other
important maps.

There were four table in the room.  A small one had
been places in front of the large map with only a
single chair behing it.  There were three other tables
set up with verious amounts of chairs at each table. 
The middle of the three already had the entire Council
of Twelve setted around it.  Then again every one was
in there place.  The summon had made clear tardiness
was not to be excepted.  The Archmage crossed the room
to stand behing his chair.  He watched as his
apprentice and Acoyltes places there burden on his
table and then with a bow quietly left.  Shuting the
door behind them.

The Archmage sat down scowling at the occupents of the
room.  The various members of the military that
occupided two of the other three tables in the room
did not dare look at Archmage, and many in the Council
did not want to look either finding it more comforting
to look at there notes, and other materials on the
table.

The Counciler Haventh stood to bring the meeting to
order, but before he could speak the Archmage spoke. 
"Sit down Haventh."  The Archmage stood up.  "We are
going to skip the formalities and also the record." 
He said giving the scrib a glance.  The scribe looked
up with a suprised look.  Then he nodded his head.  He
began to gather his ink, pens and parchment, and
quietly slipped out the door.

The silence countined as the Archmage contined to look
at the crowed before he spoke.  "Why do we have a
missing dragon?"

No one answeared.

"Well I don't like lossing things."  The Archmage
said.  His frown still there.



Actions 1 & 2: Find the dragon or figure out what
happened.

A Dragon has come up missing.  The Archmage wants to
find it.  If they could find out what has happened to
it that would be okay, but the main goal is to find
the Dragon, and bring it back.  The Coutrie training
has been delayed this year so that they can help with
the search.

The Archmage is pulling out everything he has.  First
he will be sending out a coutrie, and a Council member
to search the route of the dragon.  To see if anything
happened along the route, and since these flights do
not leave the isle of Celamyr that will not be hard
follow.  Two member will ride one of the dragons to
look from the air and the others in the courtie, and
the Council member will travel along the ground
looking for signs.  This includes looking for any
magical residues of spells.  That is were the Council
Member comes handy.  Second the is pulling out the
Pedant of Truth and using it again (action 4 in 1415.)
 The Archmage is having Niotrosa and Warlord Ria uses
the pedant of truth.  They are to go using it and
interviewing all of other dragon riders and also
friends and relatives of the missing rider.  They are
going to work on rebuilding her activities for the
past month before she disapered.  The Archmage is
going to be using the scepter of Mir to search for the
dragon itself.  The dragon has been called by the
scepter before. There is another courtie at the

apology, with an explanation, for the rude resecption
of the Ka'Shari delgates several years back.  They
will also bring with them a handmade copy of the
Counciler Thanta, a Council member under the Emperor
Archmage Sharion II, "The Dragon, a study of these
mighty beast life."  She is also bringing and hand
delivering a invitation to come attend the Archmage

Are you sure about this one?  As a religion with a membership of 3,000 
Exquaestio doesn't seem to fit in with the other groups.  On the other hand, if 
you're going to invite Exquaestio, there are some other groups that should be on 
the list as well (and probably others currently unknown):
   Church of Mithrak
   The Order of Lucia
   Priesthood of Marmdal
   Priesthood of the Lord of Sea

yes they are invited as well.  This was a genaric list
of people especailly for groups that arn't nations.  I
think I got most of the nations on  the list.

Also you sent someone to start relations with the
Church of Mir as well.
