Attendance:

We began one minute past the eighth horn in the evening (amateur mistake again).
The meeting started with the first raised hand from a dwarf named Yriah, with an important announcement. Yriah brought a case of a master thief in Stormwind, who has been collarobating with plans on acquiring new thieves to plan out a series of crime waves within the City of Stormwind, and also potentially within the Ironforge itself. As of result Yriah wanted to introduce us to a thief catcher by the name of Pei Ironfoot.

She introduced herself gracefully and offered her utmost service in the thief catching. We obliged for offered her services. Then she made an announcement of a disbandment of a clan named The Hammerguard, which has been relieved from it's duties. I obliged to Miss Pei for this announcement and made a mark into the meeting notes. Yriah once more raised his hand for another topic. He brought a question about the Ironforge Guard squad be made a check examination inspect since the last check up since last time a month or two ago. I stated to Yriah, that anew examination inspection would be in order greatly.

Then we entered into the table announcements. I brought news about the activities of the Lone Cultist, which had made it's retreat into Lordaeron within the Plaguelands. It is to be believed, that the Cultist may plan to make a potential final stand, as the hunt against him is going proceedingly well. It won't be very long, until potential justice will be done at last regardless will we take him either alive or dead in it's tracks.
Then I announcement my second announcement. It has arrived into my ears, that Pandaria has in need of new monk teachers to train new generation of monk fighters. As of result, a potential retirement from my role as the Chancellor, may be upon potentially. I expect potentially changes to this order in weeks time, should there be any.

Once my announcements have been declared, we entered into the final word of the vacant seats of the Senate needed to be filled, until the we concluded the meeting tonight after forty-one minutes of the hour.

May the Titans watch over us, always

We began two minutes early before the eighth horn (too soon lad!!).
We started the meeting tonight with the first raised hand from a dwarf named Yriah, who brought more reports of dwarven thief recruiters with appearance descriptions. Yriah stated, that one target is an old lad and another one being more younger than the other one. Yriah also brought a description of the older dwarf being skilled in void magic aswell. I stated to Yriah in appreciation for the report description of said thieves.

Then came a new raised hand from a female dwarf named Valon Silverbraid, who came forth to apply for the last vacant seat of the Senate, the Seat of Relations. Once she made her request, we conducted an interview immediately during the meeting. Valon had little bit of challenging on answering the questions, but eventually she triumphed in the end and thus she was welcomed here into the Senate council as our newest member.

After that came a new raised hand from a death knight named Glomnus from the Ebon Pact. He brought new reports of the rogue death knights the Wraiths recent actions throughout our world. From the lands of Kalimdor to the Un'goro jungles, and all the way to the Icecrown and above the veil world known as Shadowlands with an alliance with the forces of 'The Maw'. I've stated to the death knight dwarf with huge thanks in bringing me this report, while also made some notes of my own about the Veil above Icecrown.

We then entered into the table announcements. Senator Silverbraid did not have anything to add from her recent recruitment, so we skipped her part.
I brought more updates about my upcoming hiatus departure from my role as the current Chancellor, happening in weeks time after the end of the next meeting. Although I'll still be leaving my duties as the Chancellor, but fortunately all thanks to coming into some sort of compromise, my Pandarian master may grant me resume back to the role possibly in the near future once my responsibilities in training next generation of monks have been sufficed. Even such, I'll be heavily busy for over a month or so during this summer, that I won't be present back to the Ironforge for sometime. Even perhaps, forever given or take. I'll be bringing forth finalisation marks in weeks time.

Once my announcement has been concluded, we ended the meeting tonight after one hour and twelve minutes since the eighth horn.

May the Titans watch over us, always.

We began one minute past the eighth horn in the evening (slobby as usual).
We started our meeting tonight with the first raised hand from a dwarf named Yriah, who brought more news of the dwarven thieves. There was an encounter with one of the two targets, but managed to escape using a void magic spell to make itself disappear effectively. As such, the Crusaders lost sight of the target again. Senator Silverbraid suggested that more thief catchers should potentially be trained, in order to prevent further frequent encounters. Senator Stoutmouth quite agreed on this subject too. I stated to both of the Senators, that they have my permission on conducting such strategy's.

We then entered into the table announcements next. Senator Stoutmouth brought reports from the Wraith Death Knight campaign from Kalimdor of the forests of Ferelas. They were investigating of a suspect named Raxiel Blightreign, who was believed to be in the Dire Maul arena at the time. Unfortunately this turned out to be a trap to lure the Death Knight hunters in. Although most of them survived the encounter and acquired the needs to find and take down their flying flotilla, unfortunately the death knights managed to caught two prisoners, an orc named Ratlug and a member of the Knight of the Silver named Sebastian Hutchins.
As of result, the upcoming siege mission will also become a rescue mission, should the worgen be still alive during that time. After that Senator Stoutmouth reported a new strong activity of troggs in the Badlands, where such creatures have been reported. It is stated that the troggs are emerging from Uldaman, but the reports cannot confirm such rumours. Even so, the situation is still being kept under control over there. I nodded to the Senator in acknowledgement.

Senator Anvilbreaker brought nothing new to add for tonight and as such we entered into Senator Silverbraid's announcements. The female dwarf stated as her newly made status as Senator of Relations, that she would like to invite citizens of Stormwind to Dun Morogh to fulfill fun winter activities. Although the undead crisis is still ongoing, thanks to all of our methods and forces in Khaz the area is now very well secured that normality as return to said area of Khaz Modan. I stated to Senator Silverbraid, that it is quite very fond idea to conduct such fun program for citizens of Khaz and the human kingdom of Stormwind alike.

Then came my announcements next. Firstly I brought a report of the Lone Cultists report, where our northern forces have engaged at him and it's undead raised minions in the Eastern Plaguelands. After an intense of fighting in the area of a fallen undead human rangers home, the Lone Cultist has now being struck down atlast. It was a costly victory, as the battle was no easy one, but after months of dealing the Cultists actions we have finally restored peace to some places in the Khaz Modan. We held a very brief moment of silence for all of the victims impacted by the Cultists evil endeavours.

Then for my second announcement, I brought a topic of my status as the current Chancellor of the Senate. I stated in my announcement, that as this was potentially my last time for tonight as the current Chancellor, there wouldn't be any Senate meetings until next August. During this time Senator Silverbraid stepped forward and asked could anyone of the other Senators at present temporarily take the role on organising summer meetings while I would be gone in Pandaria. I stated for the following, that the other Senators may do so, should they be able to attend and organise any meetings in my stead. I lastly concluded in my announcement, that until things have been properly confirmed in Pandaria about future in-between as a monk trainer and Senate Chancellor, I shall send announcement letter back to the Senate Council in late July time.

Once all the announcements have been declared, we concluded the meeting tonight after fifty-six minutes of the hour. After that the Senate Council and the public attendees held up glamoreus huzzahs upon my final departure from the meeting tonight. Thus potentially now concluding my duties, as the member of the Senate Council.

May the Titans watch over us, always and all the days and nights to come...

Senate started at 1 minute past the eight horn (hornblower was delayed, as usual).
Senator Silverbraid reports that a representative was sent in her place for the annual pilgrimage for Uther's Tomb. Not much more to report on that matter, as she was busy with a diplomatic mission with the Dark Iron Dwarves.
Other than that, she was also busy visiting the orphans of Stormwind, suggesting that they visit Ironforge and see how the Senate works. We will work something out in order for that visit to happen.
She also wish to discuss changing Seats, as Senator Stoutmouth resigned recently, so the Seat of Order is currently vacant. We will discuss that further when the reports are done.

As for my own report, as Seat of Artifacts I sent out an expedition some time ago to Whelgar's Excavation Site, as reports had come of more than usually unsettled bones had gathered there. To the expeditions surprise, there were a lot of undead forces there too, and the combined might of the dino-bones and the undead was too much for our force, so they had to retreat. Sadly, the mechanic bike that Goiridh Bronzeknuckle used as a mount broke down during the retreat, so he and his passenger couldn't go further.
They made their last stand in a tunnel, from which the surviving expedition members reported a bright light far into the tunnel, before rumbling was heard and then darkness. The remaining expedition made it to safety, but it is clear that we need to reinforce our strongholds and clear out more undead pockets in the lands. This concludes my report.

We now carry on with Senator Silverbraid's request to change Seat from Relations to Order. As she mentions her resume, she states that she has worked as thief catcher in the past, as well as have been Seat of Law under The Three Hammers prior. I see no issues with this application, so we finalized the change there.

We concluded the meeting roughly an hour later. May the Titans watch over us in these trying times.

Due to lack of attendance, we held a minor meeting discussing the lack of Senators to fill the vacant Seats. More specifically, the vacant Seats of Order, Transactions and that of Magical Affairs. Chancellor Silverbraid had a possible lead on a suitable figure for Seat of Order, we will meet with this person at a later date. Messages will be sent around the realm by ram riders to recruit more Senators.

Chancellor Silverbraid also mentioned that she'll invite over the children from Stormwind's orphanage to future Senate gatherings, as well as holding contests for the children about the history of Ironforge and its leaders. It will be interesting to see what comes from this.

She also mentioned that there were issues near Dun Modr, more specifically Thandol Span, where the Witherbark Trolls were attacking for seemingly no reason. She was partaking in this battle and got wounded there, but is luckily recovering.
Also worth mentioning were some issues between Dark Irons and Wildhammers some time ago, though no further details were shared other than the Chancellor think it has been resolved for now.

For now, we'll do what we can: visit the other nations and collect information about the ongoings of the various realms. I hope this will prove to be enlightening.

We began the meeting at the eight horn, the guardian golem noticed someone bringing weapons into the chamber and reacted as per its programming. The offending items were stowed away and we proceeded with the meeting.

The first topic of the day came from the audience, being about the ogre threat to the north of Thandol Span. There were questions raised about the issue itself, and we wish to know more about the spellwork on the ogres. Are the Witherbark Trolls the masterminds behind this magic, or is someone else supplying them behind the scenes?

The Draenei of the Thorn family have invited me (Seat of Artifacts) to Exodar to check their artifacts for anything useful regarding the combined troll/ogre menace to the north. I and any escort are to be there on the 29th of June.

On another positive note, Chancellor Silverbraid mentions that the scammer have been caught, a Thief-Catcher managed to find the person in question and bring them under arrest. A reward will come for that, and discussions about whose jurisdiction where the arrest was made will surely arise.

Chancellor Silverbraid asked the Arcanamancer handling the golem about the mage training for the Lobsters-group. He replied that the Lobsters can arrive at any time for said training, he just need to adjust the golem accordingly prior to their visit. He also promised some portal help for the visit to Exodar later.

With that said, we wrapped up the meeting after about an hour. May the Titans keep watch over us in these trying times.

We started at the eight horn of the evening, a number of people had gathered for this occasion. I opened up with my report as Chancellor Silverbraid was a tad delayed.

Reports from the Dragon Isles expedition are coming in, the Horde are cooperating according with the truce thus far. Plenty of proto-dragons and elementals to contend with over the landing site, a more permanent location for a base is being looked into.
It seems our Dark Iron allies are enjoying breaking down fire and lava elementals for their materials, which are unlike anything they have worked with so far.

Report from the Uldaman digsite in the Badlands have come in, at long last. It seems the initial group had gone quite confused and had to be set straight by the secondary group sent into the complex. Secondary team discovered a Titan artifact, some progress report from what we've been able to translate thus far. I will add more information when it is available.

Some mercenaries are inquiring about possible work within Khaz Modan. While Chancellor Silverbraid initially was saying that we could handle things by ourselves, I was slightly more positive about finding potential use for them. If it helps save our valuable resources for other uses, then it is a win.

Chancellor Silverbraid raised another topic, regarding the border province of Dun Modr. The Thandol Span have seen quite some damage over the years, so she mentioned that a workforce and materials will be sent to the nearby town to handle the coming repairs.
The guards posted there will also be rotated while at it, as the new guards will escort the workforce northwards. Two of the visitors attending the meeting offered their assistance with guard duty, stating their previous experience within the Plaguelands. We appreciate their offer and will consider it.

After all was said and done, we concluded the meeting after roughly one hour. May the Titans watch over us.

We started the meeting at the eight horn of the evening. A dwarf named Landorian opened by mentioning he had taken in an orphan from Stormwind and taught him smithing. Apparently the kid did so well, he might be eligible for an award of sort.

Guzzleguts mentioned that the orphans will attend Winter Veil as usual, escorted by Yriah and Yannim to keep them in order. They are most welcome to feast with us.

I mentioned the upcoming Winter Veil event, which we'll organize a feast for on the 22nd at seven bells. Plenty of food and drink will be made for this. During Winter Veil, Senate will be on hold to return after the holiday ends.

We ended the meeting after roughly ten minutes. May the Titans watch over us always.

We started at the eight horn of the evening, Chancellor Silverbraid opened the meeting by addressing the public.

Guzzleguts and Landorian mentioned that they've so far only encountered drunken brawls under their patrols of the realm. While a common occurance in peacetime, they claim it is too quiet.
Fultric Greyblade agreed with their assessment, stating that these "Primalists" have some undercover agents in about every race and faction on Azeroth seemingly.
Chancellor Silverbraid wish for more information about the matter, and will expand the Thief Catchers to counter this potential threat. Further information will only be told directly to the rulers of Ironforge, to avoid potential spies from gaining intelligence from these reports.

After the public announcements, Chancellor Silverbraid brought up that there will be an award ceremony at the orphanage in Stormwind. We are invited there due to our contributions and efforts for their sake.

As for my report, I mentioned that I have yet to receive any new reports from the Isles or other archaeological sites at the current time. We are still having vacant Seats in the Senate for now, the Seats are Order, Magical Affairs and Transactions.

We ended the meeting after roughly an hour. May the Titans keep watch over us, always.

We started at the eight horn of the evening, raising the public topics first.
Guzzle reported about the recent archery shots at the Tram. The human is described as a middle-aged black-haired woman with some weight on her.
Nothing regarding the accompanying Dark Iron as of yet.

The next topic got raised about the materials found upon the Dragon Isles, including the ores and metals found there. They seem to require more heating to fuse, but the prospects of the materials look promising.

I brought up missing reports from the Dragon Isle expedition as my topic, as I don't have much else to bring up at this point of time. During that report, Chancellor Silverbraid arrived and I finished my report.

Chancellor Silverbraid had nothing new to report, so we mentioned the vacant Seats and what their respective area is before concluding for the evening. The Seats are Order, Magical Affairs and Transactions.

We concluded after about three quarters of an hour. May the Titans guide us wisely.

The meeting started as per usual at the eight horn of the evening. We opened up with public topics first, followed by reports from the Seats.

Guzzle mentioned that they have gotten a better description of the Dark Iron dwarf seen in the recent shootings around the Tram. Posters will be made available shortly.
Landorian mentioned two mischievous Gnomes who seem to have streaks of Kobold in them, as they preoccupied most of his time these days. So he have not been able to help out much with the shootings around the Tram.

I report about the Dragon Isles expedition, they seem to have been quite busy fighting off hostile forces wherever they are setting up camp, thus the shortage of communications. I suggested to send reinforcements to aid the expedition, the Chancellor agreed.
I also brought up that we had to move the event from last Monday to the coming Monday of 27th, due to rescheduling. Visits will be made to Dun Modr and other interesting locations.

Chancellor Silverbraid mentioned that she's assigned a demolitions expert to visit Stormwind to search for hidden explosives.

We mentioned the vacant Seats, the positions open are as follows: Order, Transactions and Magical Affairs.
We then concluded the meeting after roughly two thirds of an hour.

Meeting started as per usual schedule at the eight horn of the evening.
First topic of the day came from a visitor, who stated that the shooters that have been causing trouble lately have likely used the Tram to escape with. Additional guards have been added to the Tram entrances in order to catch them. No further details to share on this for now.

Chancellor Silverbraid arrived after a bit, she has apparently been involved in a fight, due to her injuries. She said that a small group of Dark Irons attacked her. This doesn't bode well for the unity under the Mountain if this carries on. Training of the bodyguards is now necessary.

I report that the Dragon Isles expedition is going forward in some areas, but less so in others. It seems we might need to earn their trust before we can progress in some areas. I suggested sending adventurers and mercenaries to handle these issues.

I also mention that the various archaeological digsites around the realms have been returning to normal, after the elemental incursions some months back. Tunnels have been strengthened and flooded areas drained.

A topic regarding the orphans got raised regarding their weapons training. Currently there are some issues handling the arms training of the orphans, but we will look into finding trainers for them.

We wrapped things up after about half an hour. May the Titans watch over us in these trying times.

The meeting start got a bit delayed, but we began by raising the public topics. Guzzle reported that they found the human female associate of the Dark Iron culprit, suspected for the shootings at the Tram exits.
It would seem that she perished as she got arrested, as she have been carrying a foul disease for some time apparently. Investigations are to start in order to check if the Tram need to be purged. Volunteer healers have set up on both ends of the Tram to check up on passengers if they notice these symptoms:
1: High temperature
2: Random bleeding from mouth, nose or ears

I then reported about the expedition from Stormwind orphanage, we visited an old burial site and found some items for the children to share among themselves. All in all, a good time was had and the children enjoyed spending time exploring.

With that said, we concluded the meeting after less than half an hour. May the Titans guide us still in these times.

I began the meeting on the eight horn by having the audience speak. Guzzle raised the topic of medicine being handed out to the Senate, we have gotten the medicaments and are thankful for the thoughtfulness of Stormwind.

I then brought up the coming retirement of Chancellor Valon Silverbraid, who will be missed in these gatherings. Some in the audience suggested holding a party in her honor, to which she is invited if interested.

I then brought up why I have been absent lately. Personal life have been struck by the death of someone close to me, so I try to prepare for the ceremony. I will keep searching for any living relatives he might have, in case they'd wish to participate.

Captain Blackforge reports from the Dragon Isles, some trouble with the locals that he's trying to solve. He didn't specify exactly what, so unlikely urgent.

We then concluded the meeting after less than half an hour. May the Titans guide us wisely in these trying times.

Meeting started as per schedule at the eight horn of the evening.
It would seem that the fever that has been going on lately was the result of a poison. It has been dealt with and people are treated for it.

I then proceeded with my report of the various dig and excavation sites. Some troggs here and there, but not many enough to be an issue so far. If things get worse, we send some new adventurers to the locations to deal with them.

The new Seat of Relations arrived a few minutes later and introduced herself as Froja Silverbraid, one of Valon Silverbraid's daughters. She will take up the mantle where her mother left off.

Senator Silverbraid mentioned that she's increased the rations and the regular guard rotations, to keep the guards alert and not so "bored" as some apparently had stated it.

After that, we concluded the meeting after roughly half an hour. May the Titans guide us wisely, always.

Meeting began as the horn sounded at the eight hour of the evening.
A question from the audience regarding closed borders arose. The new Chancellor is checking the preparedness of the troops, to see if our forces can muster a swift defense at any entrypoint to the realms.

My report is about the situation regarding the various digsites outside of the Dwarven realms are as follows:
The digsite in Darkshore is currently abandoned due to contested area.
The operations in Stranglethorn Vale are ongoing, but trolls are making trouble there lately.
As for the digsite at Bael Modan, the keep need to be restored if to provide ample security to the archaeologists working there.

Froja Silverbraid report about the military maneuvers that have been ongoing within out borders, personally attending the various sites to observe the effectiveness of the operation. While satisfactory, she want to organize further events along with Stormwind to further cooperation.

After our reports, we ended the meeting after roughly half an hour. May the Titans guide us wisely.

Meeting began at the eight horn of the evening as usual.
Due to lack of senators at the meeting, I opened up for topics from the audience. First one to raise a topic was a human named Zac, who offered their "Shipping Company" services. They are willing to aid with anything apart from explosives, which I suppose is going under military logistics anyways.

After that, I began my report. It would seem the expedition encountered issues with the locals at some places. The Gnolls residing in the Azure Span have taken up disease as a weapon against the populace there. If any able adventurers can clear this threat out, it would be greatly appreciated and rewarded.

Aside that matter, the digsite at Uldaman has been expanded. Our team of excavators need able hands to take care of any situations that might arise in the depths. All other digsite operations are working as normal, which is good progress.

We ended the meeting after roughly a quarter of an hour. May the Titans give us strength in these times.

I opened the meeting by reporting from the Dragon Isles. It would seem that the Expedition are in need of reinforcements outside of the armies, as the locals request our aid to deal with threats of several instances across the lands there.
Other than that, the Expedition seem to proceed as planned, they have set up locations across several regions of the Isles and are currently reinforcing them to what degree they can.

Chancellor Froja Silverbraid arrived and gave her report from the area around Dun Modr. Apparently she have been involved in apprehending smugglers who ferried human made weapons up north, destination yet unknown. Discussed sending either a Thief-Catcher up north to investigate the matter, or Yriah and Yannim.

After some discussion regarding the investigation we ended the meeting after about three quarters of an hour, as no topics from the audience was raised. May the Titans give us strength in these times.

We opened with the audience topics, and the first one that got raised was regarding the death of Murmyr Shadowstone. The funeral ceremony will be held on June 11th at the seventh horn of the evening.

The next topic that got raised was from Chancellor Silverbraid who had encountered issues of diplomatic nature when enforcing the law. I will visit Stormwind on their gathering to discuss the matter.

The meeting started as usual on the eight horn of the evening.
After opening the meeting, Guzzle was quick to raise a hand to deliver some good news. Apparently twins has been born in Exodar, which seem to be rather unusual for Draenei.
She then followed up with some less good news. The progress on the ongoing investigation regarding robbers in the Tram have been less than optimal. Guard numbers have been boosted inside the Tram and by the exits.

I then reported on the various digsites around the kingdoms operating as normal, just the odd trogg or kobold incursion ever so often. Nothing the riflemen stationed there cannot handle.
I also brought up that I have yet to receive more reports from Captain Blackforge, currently stationed on the Dragon Isles. Other sources of information are welcome at this time.

We concluded the gathering after roughly quarter of an hour. May the Titans guide us wisely, always.

We opened the meeting at the eight horn of the evening, as usual.
First topic raised camed from Guzzle, who mentioned that a Stormwind contact protested against Dwarven law being too strictly enforced. I protested that notion by confirming that we already are implementing more lenient laws these days than before we joined the Alliance.

Next topic raised was from Thesalar Silverstar, who currently is investigating certain matters for Stormwind. He inquired if we have had issues with caravans lately, around six months back or so. Guzzle replied that there have been raids by trolls and orcs around Thandol Span area some time ago, but that it was dealt with.
Froja mentioned that an organization called "Serpentcrest" is about causing trouble, could be related to the issues lately. Seemingly they are a "loyalist" group, following Sylvanas and her methods since before the Fourth War. Could spell trouble, will have to investigate the matter.

I then reported that contact with the Dragon Isles expedition has been re-established, seems that storms had blocked communications over sea for some time, causing delays in the mail. For now the locals need assistance with clearing out hives of scum and villainy around the various regions. Plenty of prospects for loot and rewards for volunteers heading there.

We concluded the meeting after roughly three quarters of an hour, as the visitors and senators got exhausted from all the talking. May the Titans guide us, always.

We opened the meeting at the eight horn of the evening, as usual.
Guzzle was first to open a topic, regarding a report from the Hinterlands about several dead Alliance and Horde members being found. No signs of battle to be found, our dead have been transported to Stormfeather outpost awaiting further transport.
Landorian continued with a report he had received elsewhere that a missing human has been found. Apparently he is under the care of Lady Zieta, and he was found in possession of a Scourge stone of all things! He seemingly had found it "on a cart in a snowy place", which places that in Dun Morogh!

I decided, in absence of other Senators, to send message out to our guards and mountaineers to keep their eyes open for cultists and suspicious activity, and report odd smelling foodstuffs. Dispatched Arcanomancer Ádhamh to message the Mountaineer forces, of which a representative came. I gave him orders and he left to execute them.

I also shared some information regarding the Lobsters in Stormwind, for which I hope they will be interested in. A relative of Murmyr has been found in Shadowforge City, we will check further details before making a visit.

After all that, we concluded the meeting after roughly three quarters of an hour. May the Titans watch over us, always.

We got introduced to the newest member of the Stormwind Council, Minister of Defense Darium Lightswatch.

We then proceeded to discuss the Scourge stone issue, which I've yet to receive reports from the Mountaineers about. No finds made, just normal travellers with normal carts so far.

Chancellor Froja Silverbraid mentioned a report about the Serpentcrest group, last sighted in the Hillsbrad Foothills. While this has likely nothing to do with the Scourge stones, it is good to keep track of their whereabouts.

She then brought up the lack of security in the Tram from Stormwind side of the tunnel. The lax security has allowed for criminals to come and go as they please in order to harass passengers. Minister Lightswatch promised to look into that issue.

My report is about the Dragon Isle expedition and the exploits of adventurers and mercenaries. Apparently they have managed to find and eliminate one of the Primalist leaders that have eluded our grasp for some time.
This "Raszageth" had gone for a daring jailbreak of other Primalist leaders when she got caught and killed. Sadly she did succeed in her endeavour, so we are currently tracking the whereabouts of her associates.
Captain Blackforge, sent to guard the expedition, is currently aiding the Black Prince with training his Blacktalon troops against the Djaradin threat. Apparently the Captain have some experience fighting against large humanoids, so his expertise is most welcome.

I then switch from the expedition to digsites, in particular Uldaman. Apparently there are more issues with that area that might need a personal visit to get solved. Will come back with further details once I get more organized.

We then concluded with the vacant Seats of the Senate:
Seat of Order
Seat of Relations
Seat of Transactions
Seat of Magical Affairs

We conclude the meeting after roughly an hour. May the Titans guide us wisely, always.

Froja Silverbraid, Chancellor

Meeting begins as usual at the eight horn of the evening.
Reports indicate that crime rates are getting lower, along with the happiness of the guards rising due to increased rations of food and ale. They are more responsive to training exercises as well after the adjusted rations, thus giving our forces a boost for the time being.

Chancellor Froja Silverbraid mention that Valon Silverbraid have been busy travelling and discussing with the residents of Hammerfall in Arathi Highlands regarding the early warning system. It would seem the Horde are interested in the idea, if the goblins can be made to work alongside the gnomes somehow.
Valon is currently heading to Stormwind again, after getting reports about the Serpentcrest loyalists. It would seem they are currently working together with the Scarlet Crusade in the Silverpine area, which puts our scouts at somewhat of a risk. The Chancellor and I discuss involving Gilneas, as it is in their area and thus they know the terrain better.

We have currently four vacant Seats on the Senate:
Seat of Order, dealing with law and military matters.
Seat of Relations, handling diplomacy and public relations.
Seat of Transactions, handling trade and logistics.
Seat of Magical Affairs, dealing with matters beyond the physical realm.

We concluded the meeting after roughly half an hour. May the Titans watch over us, always.

Signed:
Froja Silverbraid, Chancellor
Lord Cyrik Blackforge, Seat of Artifacts
