First Official meeting of the Sylvan Heart Shard Council.

[Predatory Beauty]

Hear Ye Hear Ye!

Oh I always love saying that!

Well my lovelies!, I do have to tell you, This feisty reporter went though a bit of trouble to sneak her little tail in to that stuff Council chamber to get the scope for you... my avid readers! But that's why I am Daisy Darling... every ones Favorite Darling! I tell you... Stood in the Corner behind this stuffy tapestry for a good hour peeking though a hole some clever and friendly little moth chewed out for me. Bless his dear heart... to bad he flew to close to the candle flame... Sacrifice for the greater good... Well the story any way.

So here we are, Big steps and Big changes in the works for our ever changing world. All for the better we think here at the Bitanian Chronicle. Goddess Acacia, God Cidran, Goddess Aesa were all in attendance... and even The Dragon God Alaric showed up during the meeting. Our Esteemed Council Members were in good Company and seemed to work well together. The Ladies First now... As always. Lady Varani showed up looking charming as always, Followed in by Lady Faethora in all her earthiness, and Lady Rayne in the ever flashy Red as always!. Our Sweetling... Orc Rithik was last to Show up,  With Helegsul arriving with the Ladies looking the ever dapper Gent he is.

I do say I was expecting a lot of spitting and clawing... Like a monkey and a cat tied together in a gunny sack.. But surprise, surprise things went along rather smoothly. This first Offical Meeting of the Shard Council was the starting point to build a foundation for the future. Our Esteemed Council members laid down the Laws for the Council and all the ones to come. Out lining the responsibilities each member will carry during their term of serves. It took them a bit over an hour to lay it all out... Vote... and agree. But in the end this Reporter is pleased to inform the Citizens of Sylvan Heart! This is off to a grand Old Start!

Now this is for all of you to know... Yes you as the people! The Responsibilities of our Shard Council. They are the People to talk to, that's right, you have an Idea, a concern, an itch in that ol' brain pan that needs a scratchen. Seek out the members of the council. They will make time to listen and carry your thoughts back to the gods themselves! They are here for us all.

Now I know some of you are concerned that this will make people get a swelled head. But no need to worry. For this has been foreseen! Rules have not been set in place for the council itself. Will just have to add those in at the end of this little trist don't ya think? Every one on the council sit as Equals, no one having more status then the next person.

This first session of the council ended after the foundation was laid. We must give our thanks for the first members of the Shard Council.
