"Haha stupid question, what do you think I intend to do with an army of assassins? I'll find a lord who will pay me and I'll kill whomever he orders me to kill within reason. I do not kill women or children."

[Tiruin]

After the meeting... ((Is it concluded, Ardas? Shoot?))

Renart decided the best way to work from was the base -- the King has servants, vassals and trusted allies. The bravos, and Aveline. Ria, and whoever else visited him in his state.

The knowledge that there was another third-party man serving the King, who did bring crucial evidence was enough for him to act. He inquires about that man who found the thorn'd cloth, and if given the information, goes off to find him personally.

If this is about the King, Edgard and Richard would have no qualm against each other. Even in this respite, the King is the highest priority.

[Kestrel_6]

"Can you tell me about a female Assassin with an eagle eye and bow like yours? She tried to... kill a friend of mine"

[mesor]

"I have never left this city how would I know?"

[Azthor]

Marquis Tengram takes a break from perusing a large stack of documents, turning his attention to you.

"The war is, for all purposes, over, young Marquis, though I'd suggest suggest waiting for either the end of the Winter or the remaining levies to be disbanded before ridding yourself of your soldiers; this is a fragile peace we havee in our hands and the risk of the war resurfacing remains for as long as both sides keep their armies raised"

[Ardas]

"You are right, Harald, precautions shall be taken and dye destoryed. trade with arendalis shall be resticted. My prince, I beleive it is time for you to sign an oath loyalty to me as regent and formal conclusion to our conflict. As for the navy... I recall one of the noblemen being issued with 5 ducats by albert to build ships. these money has to be reoveredand used for ships. We need to control Arendalis river."

Edgard took a sip of wine.
"There are couple of things I would like sorted. Harald, take your men and get rid of that idiot ranger trent. He is still camping outside Lorvese I bleieve. tell him to stand down and bring him in to the capital. He is charged with brigandry. He is also a renegade.
And Theor, would you mind doing a favour for me? Please take your men and head to Arborvent Forests. There are large bands there that trouble my people. Their leader,  Kasten de Arvarac is a nobleman however and my brother-in-law to be. Please do not damage him too much and bring him in here too."

Then Edgard stood up.
"If any of you gentlemen have anything else to add, please, do not hesitste. Otherwise I beleive that the meeting is largely over."

Edgard presents peace treaty documents to Richard to be signed. Rebellion is declared over.
Arrest warrant is issued on Trent Nathal. He is branded as a bandit and a renegade. Lord Harald is issued with the papers and ordered to arrest Trent.
Siege conditions of Stomrstead are to be lifted. Food rationing and policing are to be returned to peacetime status.
Blockade of trade to Stormstead is to be lifted. All of the noblemen's trade routes are to be restored.
Trade with Arendalis to be restricted. Blue dyes and other cloth materials from Arendalis are to be destryed too in the entire country.

[Ghazkull]

At once my liege.

Harald takes his 5 Regiments to Lorvese to confront Trent...peacefully.

[Tiruin]

And then back at the meeting...

"Hold it!"

Renart stood up from his chair.

"This Trent, is my vassal. Under what grounds is he accused of _again and why brigandry along with being a renegade?"

[Ghazkull]

Harald stops at the doorsteps. Ach goddammit. Always taking away the fun.

[Dragor23]

"Will certainly do it..." Theor said and stood up too. "I will gather my men and take care of the problem. Will leave the city today."

Take my three regiments to Arbovent, in tow with one regiment of heavies from Edgard.
After the sucessful departure, start hunting the bandit bands which troubles the regent.

[Ardas]

"Well Renart, Trent attacked me and my positions at the northern bridge, tried to stir unrest in the North and steadfastly refused to disarm himself. He's still camping outside of Lorvese from what I heard. If you can, speak to him yourself and tell him to disarm and go back Northwatch. Otherwise Harld is happy to execute my order."

[Tiruin]

"I will be the one to speak with him, Edgard. And I'm sure the attack was meant before hostilities were officially ceased.

"Could you explain more, about unrest in the North? That is where I apparently come from."

[Ardas]

"Well, I heard that some peasnt bands were trying to raise people against me in Spiritusaer, after it was pacifed by Rakon. I am assuming it was trent's job, seeing how he operated in the riverland above the  capital."

[Ghazkull]

You forgot the stolen shipments of marriage presents from stoneson. I think that very much counts as banditry.

[Tiruin]

"So without proof, deriving from what you mean by assuming, you think Trent Nathal, Commander of the Rangers, Trollslayer and Captain of the Northwatch Guard would commit such crimes? And if so, possibly, it was still under the motive of what was to happen, had not the hostilities ceased.

"And, marriage presents?"

Who in their right minds would steal marriage presents.

"No matter, I'm sending this letter right now."

Spoiler: To Trent Nathal {adwarf} (click to show/hide)

Greetings my Commander,

The dispute at Stormstead is over, we have been tricked -- not by Edgard, but by outlying forces within our realm. The King has not been poisoned by any of the higher nobility, and we have proof of that. Nevertheless, I ask you, as a friend, to lay down arms and halt any ongoing assaults on any of the towns and villages owned by our kinsmen.

Return to Northwatch at the earliest moment, and disband any levies that may have followed you. I repeat, prepare for Winter soon enough, we have wasted much time with inner deliberations. Of what you would do later on is anything you'd wish. Just not harming any of our people anymore. Edgard and Richard have come to terms.

Take care, and keep a steady mind.

--Renart Lionel, Marquis of Northwatch

P.S. I've heard you've stolen marriage presents. Why?

"And marking it with my seal."

A letter is sent to Trent Nathal to stop any hostilities at Lorvese, to return to Northwatch, and to disband any levies who have followed him.
