Campaign Events
Flirtations with Faerinn, Charlatos the 2nd, Frith's Inn
Questions Asked, Questions Answered |
Questions Asked, Questions Answered Faerinn recites: You've probably seen me around town, I have a very striking appearance, but you might not know who I am. That's because I m mostly kept my head down as a civil servant these last few decades as a former militia member and later as a municipal counsel to the Mayor's office since the Walkar Administration. Lylia nods appreciatively. Faerinn recites: While I am ashamed I was not able to protect him from being framed for murder I am the only person who was in that court room Grishom Stone has not been able to buy off or corrupt. So that has to be worth something right? Speaking to Faerinn, Nehor adds, "The only one who has stood up for the people from the Landing when it counts." Shinann says, "I am not sure who was in that courtroom. That was before I was living here." Lylia nods in agreement at Shinann. You say, "I first got to know him on Mist Harbor, during the trouble there with the..." You give a sidelong glance at Nehor. Nehor coughs. Shinann looks thoughtfully at you. You say, "...political upheaval..." Naamit's eyes narrow to mere slits as she croons a discordant tune between pursed lips. Lylia nods to you. Faerinn recites: "I have actually won in a court by the way. Mostly as a civil counsel in the Empire restoring individual rights after Chaston's Edict was lifted in the Empire." You say, "And thought that he made investigations and discoveries at a time that truly turned the tides toward justice." Speaking to Faerinn, you say, "Much of it was from your advocacy. Some of it from your fists in Clerkus' overlarge teeth." You flash a quick grin at Faerinn. Faerinn recites: "Wehnimer's Landing is the promise of independence. A place where anyone from any walk of life can just exist without the permission of someone higher born to do so. Despite these differences, we are a community that has always been able to come together and raise each other up under constant threat of eldritch annihilation." Faerinn grins at you. Juspera nods vigorously! Naamit removes an ebon-handled lavender teacup from in her lambswool cloak. Naamit takes a drink from her lavender teacup. Goldstr agrees with Faerinn. Faerinn recites: "Defending that freedom has come with its own scars. Where before we were free to be ourselves we must kneel and beg permission like children asking to go out to play. Earl Jovery says yes for now, but here's the thing about rule by birth. What would his children think of us and our freedoms? Or his children's children? Or their children?" Faerinn recites: "As mayor I would see to it the the noose slipped over our necks does not get any tighter. But I don t want to see the Landing merely survive. We've been just surviving for too long. Thanks to Mayor Lylia and our town's defenders Wehnimer's Landing can rebuild. This time we could thrive." Nehor nods approvingly. Faerinn says, "And that's my little pitch and I'd like to welcome you all to feel free to ask me about it." Lylia places a hand over her heart. Lylia inclines her head. Nehor applauds politely. Siggurd applauds. Lylia applauds Faerinn. Speaking to Lylia, you say, "We and our campaign are very appreciative of the trials and victories you have had during your tenure, Mayor Rashere." You applaud Faerinn. Faerinn says, "Or let me know any concerns about the town that you would like to see addressed." Siggurd raises his hand. Goldstr raises his hand. Balar just went through some swinging doors. Nehor turns an inquisitive ear toward Siggurd. Guarrin raises his hand. Lylia murmurs, "Thank you. Kind of you to say." Faerinn says, "We don't have to be formal about it, but I say Siggurd's hand go up first." You grin at Siggurd. Naamit places her hand on her hourglass girdle. Naamit shifts her weight. Siggurd asks, "What is the first obstacle you would attempt to tackle if elected?" You say, "A fine question." Faerinn says, "If it is still around certainly the Blight, but the Councilman mage seems to have that well in hand." Lylia thoughtfully taps a finger against her lips. Faerinn says, "Currently." Lylia nods slightly. The smiling hostess leads a young couple to a quiet (and very secluded) table in a darkened corner of the room. Faerinn says, "If I could have my way...." Faerinn ponders. Speaking to Faerinn, you say, "You'd get yourself and my mother into some sort of derring-do." Nehor chuckles. Faerinn says, "It would be to set up a position and team to preserve and restore public art here in the Landing." Naamit nods approvingly at Faerinn. Nehor approvingly says, "Excellent, something that benefits all people." Siggurd nods. Faerinn says, "That's my dream project there." You nod slowly at Faerinn. Faerinn says, "It would take a lot of talented artisans to do it and those artisans working after so much Blight." Siggurd says, "Thank you." You say, "Lady Rashere had wanted to commission an outdoor theater for productions and events, but sadly the past year has seen an awful lot of crises." Faerinn says, "I hope that satisfies your question." Lylia says, "The plans are still before the Town Council. But, well, the Council itself has been depleted." Nazarr turns toward Goldstr and renders a sharp salute with his longsword. You say, "But I like the idea of galleries and showings." Faerinn says, "Goldstr was next I believe." Naamit begins chortling at Lylia. Faerinn nods at Goldstr. Speaking to Faerinn, Goldstr asks, "Wha be yer feelings bout da Rooks?" You say, "Art outside of manors and estates." Nehor notes, "Art can lift morale and provide the education the people of the Landing need to maintain a strong trade and independance." You hear the voice of a nearby crier announce, "Vidos is currently available at Silverwood Manor in Wehnimer's Landing to offer help or advice to any adventurer in need. Looking for answers? You may find them here!" (Please select DIR SILVERWOOD to find your way there.) Faerinn says, "Oh, good Vidos can be my back up at taking questions." You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement. You grin at Faerinn. Goldstr grins. Shinann chuckles. Lylia chuckles. Faerinn says, "My take on the Rooks is that they are criminals." Goldstr asks, "An workin wid Mother?" Goldstr says, "Er nae." Faerinn says, "And while some people find them fighters for the people....I haven't seem them be much more than bandits." Speaking to Goldstr, you say, "I haven't met this Mother yet." Faerinn says, "I would have to meet Mother to really know how I feel about her." Faerinn says, "I'm very good at reading people. Its very hard to judge by second hand accounts." Goldstr says, "Mother, Lady D'Archon is on da Council an now leads da Rooks." Lylia coughs. Nehor sagely says, "Wise to reserve judgment, instead of rushing to bad decisions like some of his competitors might feel the need to do." Speaking to Goldstr, Shinann says, "We do not know if that is the same person." Lylia says, "With due respect, we do not know who 'Mother' is. I do not believe she is Alendrial deArchon." Faerinn says, "Yeah, that's speculation veering close to libel." Nazarr says, "Slander. It's spoken, not written." Faerinn corrects, "Slander." Goldstr says, "I may be wrong but somehow I thought she had said so." Faerinn nods at Nazarr. Lylia says, "As one of the few remaining hale, sane, and present Town Council members, Lady deArchon has proven her worth many times over. 'Mother' is something she used to style herself, when she was the head of the Rooks, but the Rooks were as different then as they were under Drangell's hideous claw." Faerinn says, "Now, Lady D'Archon I've heard great things about her and look forward to meeting and working with her." Speaking curiously to Faerinn, Nehor asks, "Would you be willing to meet with this figure known as Mother if she reached out to you? Even if you feel that these rooks are, as you say, criminals?" Speaking to Akenna, you say, "Welcome, my friend." Faerinn nods at Nehor. Speaking to Nehor, Faerinn says, "I certainly would meet with her. Yes." Nehor nods once. Faerinn nods at Goldstr. Speaking to Goldstr, Faerinn says, "I hope that answers your questions." Speaking to Faerinn, Nehor praises, "Willing to reach out to people, to work with others. A great thing in a leader." You say, "The mayor has some executive privilege, I'd think. It's not their place to arrest people, unless, of course, something happens in front of them..." Speaking to Faerinn, Goldstr says, "Tankee fer yer answers." Lylia nods to you. Juspera bites her lip. Speaking to you, Faerinn says, "Mayor can suggest an arrest, but its really up to the constabulary." Akenna raises her hand. Faerinn nods at Guarrin. Guarrin flashes a wide grin. Speaking to Guarrin, Faerinn says, "I believe you were next." Goldstr turns an inquisitive ear toward Guarrin. Speaking to Lylia, you say, "Like your timely suggestions the other night." Lylia smiles at you. Speaking deeply to Faerinn, Guarrin asks, "Thank you. You had mentioned Earl Jovery earlier and a free landing. How do you intend to deal with relations with the Earl?" Faerinn smiles at Guarrin. Speaking to Guarrin, you say, "Also a good question." Guarrin folds his hands behind his back. Faerinn says, "I would match his energy. I'd match step with the kind of legal hijinks he's making with the town now." You nod at Faerinn. Deep in thought, Lylia laces her fingers before her. Speaking deeply to Faerinn, Guarrin asks, "How would you go about accomplishing that?" Faerinn says, "For example by placing a non-citizen on the Towncouncil I would seek to have the council expanded to drown the Councilman Mage and my extension Jovery out." Juspera applauds Faerinn wildly! Lylia raises her hand. Juspera exclaims, "Yes! Drown him!" Nehor raises an eyebrow in Juspera's direction. You say, "I believe Faerinn is speaking metaphorically." Juspera says, "I can tie his hands." Juspera disappointedly says, "Oh." Faerinn says, "For example seek to open the council to also include members from all the local professional guilds." Goldstr grins at Juspera. Juspera nods vigorously at Faerinn! You say, "It would be interesting, to widen the Council, especially postings that would be relational to the town's adventurer population." Faerinn says, "That is not within the Mayor's purview to do by oneself, but it is something that the Mayor can move forward on public vote in order to do so." Nehor nods once. Speaking deeply to Faerinn, Guarrin asks, "And if that sours relations with the Earl?" Speaking to Guarrin, Faerinn says, "Those grapes are already soured if he's not even willing to work with us in this case and manipulate the rule of law against us." Guarrin nods slowly. Guarrin flashes a wide grin at Faerinn. Raelee gives a sidelong glance at Guarrin. Goldstr says, "We DO be a Protectoate of da Empire which does keep Baronys an sech from takin control of us." Speaking deeply to Faerinn, Guarrin says, "Thanks for answering my question." Faerinn nods at Guarrin. Faerinn looks over at Goldstr and shakes his head. Naamit says, "I have a follow up question to one of your responses." Faerinn says, "Suzerainty actually." Shinann says, "The mayor answers to the council... so not sure how that would work. Not saying I am against it. Just trying to get it straight in my head." Shinann says, "Sorry." Shinann nods at Naamit. Lylia nods at Shinann. Speaking to Naamit, Shinann says, "I did not mean to interrupt." Faerinn says, "Another country controls our foreign policy, but currently allows us to have our autonomy." Speaking to Shinann, Faerinn says, "Both the Mayor and the Council answer to the people. The voters." Speaking to Faerinn, Naamit asks, "You mentioned filling the council with local guild members, which I find quite appealing. Will you thus promote local businessmen and women to ensure their trades are met, outside the more common guilds?" Goldstr agrees with Faerinn. Faerinn says, "I think we are moving a bit out of order." You say, "It might encourage more participation in the civic side of Wehnimer's Landing, from the professions who come here to study." Speaking to Naamit, Faerinn says, "But yes. Particularly the adventurer population. Fisherman and tradesman are already represented." You say, "If they felt they had an outlet in the government. An advocacy." Nehor simply adds, "Just another reason Mister Faerinn is the Landing's best chance for a bright future. He is willing to work with ALL the people of the Landing and not only that? To give US a voice." Speaking to Faerinn, Akenna inquires, "I wanted to know, merely as an observer. How do you intent to heal the ties with the nations, more specifically, The Argent Mirror?" Speaking quietly to Xorus, Lylia says, "We were just talking about protectorates and suzerainties." Speaking to Akenna, Faerinn says, "Fortunately in that regards I already have a decent relationship with the Argent Mirror. We've already spoken togethet on how to possibly get Elves that who no longer wish to live in the Empire as refuges back to the houses." Faerinn says, "If they so desire." Speaking to Faerinn, Akenna asks, "What of other ties and alliances with the other Elven Houses?" Speaking to Akenna, Faerinn says, "Unfortunately such displomacy might not fall under the mayor's purview anymore." Speaking to Faerinn, Akenna says, "I understand." Speaking to Faerinn, Akenna exclaims, "Thank you for answering!" Faerinn says, "However, the Emperor and the Argent Mirror do have a working relationship now." Speaking to Akenna, Faerinn says, "I hope that answers your question." Speaking to Lylia, Faerinn asks, "Did I see your hand go up?" Speaking to Faerinn, Akenna exclaims, "It does. I appreciate your time!" Lylia nods at Faerinn. Lylia says, "You did." Lylia smiles at Faerinn. Speaking to Lylia, Faerinn says, "Please ask away." Lylia asks, "You have no doubt noticed the, ah...blood-lust among some of our own citizens. 'War with Ta'Vaalor,' they cry! 'Drown the Town Council,' they scream! How would you keep the local peace?" Lylia admits, "Sometimes, I have found it a greater challenge than foreign relations." Speaking to Lylia, Faerinn says, "I think I have you to thank for the insight on that." Lylia chuckles. Lylia admits, "If you are offering flattery as an answer, then yes, you have learned something from me." Faerinn says, "Two things then." Lylia flashes a quick grin at Faerinn. Speaking to Lylia, you say, "I have learned a world or two's worth of grace and power from you, Mayor." Faerinn says, "The mayor acts also a face of our government." Lylia inclines her head. Lylia murmurs, "Very kind of you." Faerinn says, "And sometimes from being recognized like that as being the easiet part of the process to find and recognize...it invites a lot of that energy." Faerinn says, "A part of keeping the peace is being a mediator, but also just being there for the townspeople to vent at." Lylia dryly remarks, "Yes, I tried to delegate that to my advisor, but he is too clever for that." Lylia winks at Xorus. Xorus smirks. Speaking to Xorus, you say, "It would appear you're going to pursue the bullseye yourself." Guarrin chuckles to himself. Juspera says, "Faerinn is very sympathetic." Lylia nods in agreement at Faerinn. Xorus says, "We will see about that." Faerinn says, "If people are mad at me they aren't going to start setting up a councilman dunking booth or march on Vaalor." Juspera says, "He's like a mother." Faerinn says, "Especially if they feel like they've been heard." Faerinn grins. Juspera is admiring Faerinn. Lylia agrees, "It is vital to people that they be heard, yes." You say, "Juspera is right. All of our candidates have excellent qualities. Professor Xorus has his expert knowledge and perspective from thousands of years, and Leafiara is a bridge between...several aspects of the Landing. But Faerinn I feel has his eyes open. He knows that a lot of this will not be much fun. But like Lylia, thinks it is important." Juspera exclaims, "I didn't say they all had excellent qualities!" Juspera fidgets. Faerinn says, "They need to be heard and they need to get that all out, which unfortunately means I'm going to have to hear a lot of vitriol." Juspera takes a few steps away from Xorus. Speaking to Juspera, you say, "I dusted it off and made it prettier." Faerinn says, "Fortunately, this is the Landing and not the Empire so its over the things I do and not the height of my ears." Faerinn smiles at Lylia. Speaking to Lylia, Faerinn says, "I hope that answers your question." Faerinn asks, "Did I miss anyone?" Speaking to Faerinn, you say, "The Temple of Ivas also appreciates your genial and accepting nature." Lylia says, "It does, well and thoroughly. I thank you for the detailed and honest answer." Lylia nods appreciatively at Faerinn. Speaking to Shinann, Faerinn asks, "Was there another part to your question?" Shinann says, "I would like to clarify something. If the blight is handled when you are voted in..." Shinann asks, "You said you will then focus on the arts?" Faerinn nods at Shinann. Lylia murmurs, "If." Lylia clears her throat. Shinann asks, "Not stone walls?" Speaking to Shinann, Faerinn says, "Rebuilding." Juspera says, "They could be stone walls with art on them." Shinann says, "I am trying to see what his priorities are." Raelee takes a moment to observe Faerinn. Shinann says, "I am not against art." Speaking to Shinann, Faerinn says, "The arts are done by the working class." Speaking to Shinann, Faerinn says, "Its not without merit. If there is something people want to preserve and take pride in." Faerinn says, "Then they'll build walls to protect it." Shinann slowly empties her lungs. Shinann says, "I think they want to protect their lives first." Guarrin shakes his head, totally at a loss. Shinann says, "So they can create art." You say, "There's a theory that says art reproduces the social stratification it is part of, but also that out of all the institutions, has the most potential to evolve or change those layers, challenge them." Faerinn says, "Yes, they need to be feed and protected first, but we could so so much more than merely survive." Shinann says, "I am not against doing more than surviving." Speaking to you, Naamit mentions, "It can mend bridges and rock institutions alike." Shinann says, "But, if you do not survive, then..." Speaking to Faerinn, Shinann says, "Thank you for your answer." Speaking to Naamit, you say, "It can break those barriers, or blend them." Faerinn says, "I want to see the Landing not only lift each other up to defend against those Eldritch threats. What if you could put that kind of unification behind rebuilding? That would be incredible." Faerinn nods at Shinann. Shinann says, "I fear it will take awhile, but the people will bounce back. This last year has been difficult." Lylia notes, "It would have been far more difficult if Kragnack and Raznel had wholly had their way." Lylia gazes with interest at Raelee. Shinann agrees with Lylia. Goldstr nods at Lylia. Speaking to Shinann, Faerinn says, "I hope that answers your questions. Architecture is among the arts and let me tell you they built those cities in the East to outlast us." Shinann says, "The elves look ahead." Shinann says, "I have no problems with the Nations." Speaking to Faerinn, Shinann says, "Thank you, again." Faerinn nods at Raelee. Goldstr turns an inquisitive ear toward Raelee. Speaking evenly to Faerinn, Raelee asks, "What variety of Imperial activity in this region is acceptable to you? And to what extent?" Goldstr rubs his chin thoughtfully. Speaking to Raelee, Faerinn says, "That's a good questions. Conquest even of the bloodless variety shouldn't be acceptable." Faerinn says, "Especially since the cause was sticking our own necks out to help Vornavis from starving at the embargoes of Jantalar." (Recorder's note: I am missing a segment of the log here, I hope to provide more to Raelee's question soon.) Speaking to Raelee, Faerinn says, "Being actual allies would certainly be acceptable, but allies don't look for an opportunity to reel in the other in a moment of weakness." Speaking to Raelee, Faerinn says, "I hope that answers your question." Speaking to Faerinn, Raelee says, "It does not." Faerinn says, "I hope I got around to everyone tonight. If not I will be doing another one of these on Feastday at the Silvergate Inn. Ten in the evening, Elven time." Speaking to Juspera, you say, "It's hardly the first time Magister Svala has had to voice an unpopular sentiment." Lylia adds, "And of course, the Temple of Ivas will be hosting all available candidates this Restday as well. I look forward to it." Lylia asks, "Is that to be a debate format? Or more of an informal gathering?" You say, "Thank you for advertising for us, Mayor Rashere." Lylia says, "Given the venue, I would have to assume the latter." Lylia flashes a quick grin. Speaking to Lylia, you say, "Brother Kothos is going to host, and yes...he's not very formal." You say, "I would imagine he'll encourage more conversation like this." Faerinn says, "Yes, we'll all be in attendance at the Temple of Ivas." Xorus says, "Sounds positively decadent." Goldstr grins at Xorus. Speaking to Xorus, you say, "It's a lovely setting." Lylia diplomatically says, "It would be unconscionably rude of me to mention when Xorus and I might be at Silvergate on Restday, but we shall try not to drink all the wine before you are there two hours later." You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement. You say, "It's quite all right, we just mentioned our own event, too." Lylia nods to you. Faerinn nods at Lylia. Shinann says, "Maybe he will answer the Magister's question there. I would like to hear the answer, also." Goldstr agrees with Shinann. You say, "And I hope that you and Professor Xorus know that there is no rancor directed toward either of you. If anything, I find this exciting." Xorus nods to you. Lylia says, "Absolutely. I appreciate the civility and openness of the campaigns thus far." Lylia notes, "Those of us who are campaigning, that is." Lylia says, "I have my own thoughts on Imperial relations, but...well, the time for my sharing those thoughts is nearly past." Lylia smiles. Speaking to Faerinn, you ask, "How do you feel?" Xorus says, "Kissing hands and shaking babies has never been my strong suit. But the strange spectacle of democracy is curious enough that I peacefully observe it." Guarrin raises an eyebrow in Lylia's direction. Juspera glances at Xorus. Speaking to you, Faerinn says, "Good for the most part." You snicker at Xorus. Shinann gives a sidelong glance at Xorus. Speaking to Xorus, you say, "Strike that, reverse it." Xorus takes a drink from his Faendryl absinthe. Lylia clarifies, "We kiss the babies, we shake the hands." Speaking deeply to Lylia, Guarrin says, "Nearly. I'm curious though." Speaking to you, Xorus says, "Infants? I would never." Speaking to Lylia, Goldstr says, "Yer thoughts may be valuable to all da candidates." Speaking to Lylia, Xorus says, "That sounds unsanitary." You say, "Don't shake the baby." Lylia says, "Well, as we do have two candidates here..." Speaking to Xorus, Faerinn says, "I wonder if they will make you kiss that infant they had in Silvergate." Speaking to Xorus, Naamit says, "Both are rather unsanitary." Xorus nods at Naamit. Speaking to Lylia, you say, "I disagree that your thoughts will ever be irrelevant." Xorus raises an eyebrow. Speaking to Lylia, you say, "Or unwanted." Speaking to Faerinn, Xorus says, "The horror." Lylia says, "Well, I was just going to say that when dealing with Imperial power to our south or Vaaloran might to our west, we are not prepared to be allied to anyone, for alliance suggests equality of size and scope." Lylia continues, "Nor do I see us as a tiny begging mouse, of course, hoping for crumbs to fall off these groaning tables." Lylia says, "So, in talking with Imperial nobles, I tend to see them in bite-sized pieces. I talk with Vornavis or Hendor, not the Turamzzyrian Empire as a whole. The Empire is no monolith, at any rate." Lylia says, "Not that I actually bite any nobles." Lylia confesses, "Usually." Speaking to Lylia, Xorus says, "You are too kind." Lylia says, "It is kinder when I do bite." Lylia says, "I would not have missed it." You smile at Lylia. Lylia gazes in amusement at Xorus. Speaking to Goldstr, Faerinn says, "And thank you for your time and attention." You say, "I very much appreciate you and Professor Xorus coming." You kiss Xorus on the cheek. You kiss Lylia on the cheek. Lylia gives you a lingering kiss on the cheek. Goldstr says, "Take care folks me belly be a growlin." Faerinn waves. Shinann says, "I must go myself." Lylia says, "I need to know that the town will be in strong hands if I decide to step down." Speaking to Faerinn, Akenna says, "Thanks for answering my questions." Lylia corrects, "When I step down, that is." Faerinn says, "I'm curoius to see what he does when presented a baby." Speaking to Faerinn, Shinann says, "Thank you for sharing your thoughts." Shinann just went through some swinging doors. Lylia says, "Common conditionals still give me trouble, I fear." Xorus says, "I would deliver it." Speaking to Lylia, Faerinn says, "I actually learned the Imperial language first, and then Elven much later as an adult." Lylia asks, "If this, then that. Not 'if I reign' but 'when I reign,' or is it the other way about?" Lylia gazes in amusement at Xorus. Raelee dryly says, "'When' is not a conditional." Speaking to Faerinn, Lylia says, "Did you? I never would have guessed, hearing you speak it." Akenna exclaims, "Have a wonderful evening!" You say, "I was raised speaking Faendryl, but Mother insisted I learn Common and Elven along with it." Speaking to Raelee, Lylia says, "Quite right! 'When' is a definite event." Lylia nods to you. Speaking to Faerinn, you say, "You did well." You reach over and gently rest your hand on Faerinn's shoulder. Lylia says, "It fascinates me hearing how Common shifts over time." Lylia says, "You did." Speaking to Faerinn, you remind, "Breathe." Faerinn says, "Oh, yeah forgot about that." Speaking in Elven, Raelee echoes, "If, then... if, else." You smile at Faerinn. Speaking to Faerinn, you say, "I believe in you." You kiss Faerinn tenderly on the cheek. Speaking to Faerinn, you say, "Good night, my friend." Speaking to you, Faerinn says, "Good night." |
