First Official Sagely Report to the Empire

[Strider]

This is the first Official Report, of many to come, of the state of the realm and the advice of the Sage Cohort on how the Empire should interact with the rest of the realm. The information to be contained within these reports is simply a recommendation, but it is the belief of the Sage Cohort that it will be useful to the Empire.

Issue 1: Orcish Concerns

Recently our interaction with the Orcs has been re-awoken, and not totally negative. The Shadow Clan, the oldest and largest standing orcish clan inhabits the Orc Fort south of Yew and Necropolis. Over the ages these orcs have been generally hostile and standofish.

Various good members of the realm have chosen to react in an equally hostile manner towards this group.

It is however, my recommendation, that we find a new course of action.

Currently the Empire does not fight directly with the Shadowclan, and therefore I believe peaceful relations can be formed. These relations will greatly benefit all involved.

Currently, the ancient war between Undead and Orc has been re-kindled. Whether or not this war is still truly active is unknown. However, I believe it would greatly benefit the Empire to further invest in peace with the Orc clan, by offering some form fo support against the Undead.

Though the orcs often have been a plague on many, the Undead are a greater threat. With the coming of the new realm, their ranks will produce countless wielders of the dark arts, and becoming an ever growing threat. They and there direct allies are a much more threatening force than the Shadowclan.

It is my belief that a concentrated effort to fill the ranks of our orcish Cohort, would lead to closer interaction with the Clan, and a wise move in comabting the growing threat of the Dark Arts.

This is all on this issue for now, but I recommend these words be taken as most valuable.

Issue 2: Possible Allies and Friends

My travels throughout the realm have taken me to encounter various peoples, many of whom share similar idelas to the Empire. Among them are certainly our current allies, however, two new groups, though not "new" in the sence of newly formed, have shown up on the horizon.

The first: The Celts:

These individuals, some of the very few native Sosarians left within a large organized group, have been around for a very long time. They exhibit countless displays of honor and valor, and have great personal experience and wisdom (great role players).

It would greatly benefit the Empire to consider interacting with them. With the permission of the Empire I, as a Ancient Sage and a Governor for the EMpire will make contact with them via there Soul Boards.

The second: The Numenorean Empire:

The Numenoreans have been around for some time, howeve under other names. First organized as the Byzantine Empire, they grew from there. Currently growing in number, they exhibit shows of honor and valor worthy of the attention of the Empire. Also, amongst their ranks is currently an individual of great personal knowledge. Tymaron, once a Town Crier for the realm, serves them in a similar capacity to myself here in the Empire.

Contact would be advised, and I can also aid in that contact with the permission of the Empire.

Issue 3: Use of Trinsic

The History of the Empire is great and rich, and much of that History and glory lies within the City of Honor, mother City to many of us: Trinsic.

I myself shall begin the renovation and re-use of the City by holding future Sage Cohort meetings within the town hall of Trinsic. I recommend that the Legion make use of the Barracks area, and that a merchant be assigned to the Keg and Anchor. The Empires presence within our Mother City has been lacking for too long. No longer should she remain vacant. Allow your bussiness and lesiure to take place within Trinsic. If only for a simple bank run, or a gathering of Friends, our presence must be known in Trinsic.

It is my vision that when the art of the Paladin is realized a Cohort of these holy warriors will be able to make us eof Paladin Isle within the City. Until then we should do our very best to fill the streets with our numbers.

Myself and many of the elders members of this Empire did not fight for her freedom to see Trinsic remain barren.

Please take the effort to use Trinsic.

I thank you for your time, and this is the conclusion of the first Sagely Report. Thank you. And Heed the Words of Wisdom.

Strider, Ancient Sage, Sage Cohort.

[Lord Ser Brightblade]

Excellent report.

Im sure the Council will have much to discuss. I especially took note of your warnings against the growing undead strength.

[Martok]

Peaceful relations with the orcs? Interesting..... *ponders*

Indeed I see too few of the PGoH members utilizing Trinsic. While I am happy to say Olympus area is booming, would like to see a bit more activity around Trinny as well.
