Forest Council

ReBorn_Spirit · #1 08-07-2005, 05:21 AM

The start of the Forest Council. A busy day it was, the Reine, Lasaria, asking her Royal Advisor, Dayaa, and another member, Axen, to go to a secluded building. It was an undisclosed building, which wouldn't be disturbed by others. Dayaa and Axen were uncertain of the days fate. All that could be done was wait for Lasaria's next words.

The first matter of business was Axen's promotion. Axen was the new Paladin of Forest! Forest only has one Paladin at a time, the Paladin of Forest leads the entire Human Religion faction. This was quite a promotion, though well deserved. Lasaria then notified Dayaa that they would be members of the new Council. The Council is made up of the single leader of each class, in addition to the Vyr Tylor (Royal Advisor). This was the beginning of the First meeting of The Council.

The second matter of business, was to pick the new leader of the Human Defenders. To all three council members, there was one obvious choice. Mydia, who had recently rejoined the Forest from Samurai, and had all the necessary leadership experience. She had also proven her desire to help the Forest when she gave up her position of Empress of Samurai just to join. Mydia was then summoned and notified of the news, the Council was beginning to grow.

Lasaria then notified the Council that the rest of the Council would be decided upon before the end of the new week, and told them of only a few things that would be in planning for the near future. There is a lot ahead of the Forest, and it all looks positive!

...The Title of Paladin was not meant to pass hands; not even to one such as Axen.

Edit: "Single Leader in each class". I expect Kyden to be on this council then, too.

Hmm.. I may stay on then... seeing as Forest is finally making progress (No offense meant, at ALL)

I wouldn't call this progress, per se. The council is just the people who were ALREADY in power saying that they're in power, ne?

I'll wait to see who is "chosen" to either laugh, cry, or nod in agreement.

Technically the Human nation shouldn't be under the jurisdiction of the Elf nation o.o

Going by your maps, this would be true.

It's the government in general...
Each race is it's own nation, unless annexed by another. There are countless races within the Forest who have one vote in the Racial Council. The current Forest is Elf only because we tried to different races but there weren't enough people. So we decided to localise it all.

However, it would be entirely logical that the elf nation took the human nation over after the Astri incident. There wouldn't be a need to trust humans, however they were forgiven for their past misdeeds as the Forest holds no grudges.

As for the Paladin Rank - The Paladins were the leaders of the human communities. It started off with two Paladins- Discharge and Excalibur. They brought human settlers to the Forest and were accepted. However it's been about 100 years since then, so things change.

Oh I know.
I know how the governments are suppose to be. What I'm saying is...well...it's not really being RPed that way. The maps you showed me looked really accurate to how it should be...although messy.

I agree with you, but eh, what can you do?

i wo uld call it progress, considering that instead of continuing ceaseless rambling worthy of Ents ((I washed LoTR last night :P)), they have taken action.

Wow, that was incoherent. And they haven't taken action. They've given someone a slightly incorrect promotion (right person, wrong rank) and basically said that the people in power are in power. Big whoop.

AlaricoMontario · #12 08-07-2005, 08:21 AM

Yes, I do agree they need to allow some lower ranks in, however you cannot deny that it is not progress. And if I recall you are the one who left Lasaria in power, after telling Kyden he would take the throne, so huffing and puffing really isn't your place I do not believe.

And Kyden does all he can for the Magi.

Uncalled for.

And I'm one to say this isn't progress either. Unless the Council Members are as Gryffon said, people already in power, then we're going to see some very strange promotions coming up, which is always a bad thing.

I am a bit disturbed about Mydia...but I won't go into that.

Kyden is, of course, part of this council. Coincidentally, he was not online during the meeting, and was unfortunately (and surely accidentally) left out of the story.

As for the "wrong rank," what would you suggest? Axen is/was a member of Human Religion.

As for Kyden being "promised the throne," I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is true, it's bogus. I had been the 2nd in charge of the kingdom for way too long, and DO know what I'm doing, I also apologize for it taking so long.

However, it is not the people "already in power saying they're in power." There are many nations that do not currently have leaders, and it is the council's first duty to select who those new leaders will be (well, obviously, i'll be involved in deciding who gets the ranks too). And even if it WAS people in power saying they're in power, at least now there is some sort of organization to it that ensures people are 1. doing what they need to be doing within their nations, and 2. talking about what is happening/what will happen, making joint decisions with each other and myself.

This brings up the topic of Mydia. I was holding off on promoting a leader for the Human Defenders, I was going to wait and watch longer, but when I brought it up with Axen, he agreed with me that Mydia was the best choice for the rank. This meant something to me because Axen has always been one of the most critical people about my promotions and my decisions, alongside Kyden (though I rarely see Kyden on at the same time as myself, not that I doubt he's active). Mydia has definately proven her ability to lead, and has pledged herself to hold regular training sessions, both in groups, and with members, individually. EDIT: ((Though Axen DID warn me that people would misinterpret the promotion and believe it to be for the wrong reasons and fall into a group mentality rather than think it through and think about her leadership successes.))

Of course though, regardless of the decision I would have made, most of the same people would have backed me up and most of the same people would have been against it, it's how it always goes. Not everyone is blind, but most are.

Lasaria, how about you promote the kingdom members who have been in Forest for a long time?
Mydia joined just a few days ago and she is allready incharge of the defense. I've seen alot of hard working Forest members yet, they're not being promoted. Why?
((No offence to Mydia.))
