I hereby charge the Guild of Naristors with the investigation into the execution of the Piscators by the Duchy of Elwynn. They are to liaise with the Imperial Inquisition if and when necessary.

I will see to it my Duke. Though the Khan of Elwynn has publicly admitted to the murders while at the Ministry of Immigration.

As Arx-Naristor you have full judicial powers. Do as you see fit. Perhaps the Inquisition should be involved?

I have requested an Imperial Inquisitor to come assist in the case. I'm not sure of the extent of my jurisdiction in this matter, as the culprit is beyond the borders of Brookshire.

Due to deals made in smoke-filled lounges and shady corridors in the halls of power, the case is dropped.

Wha?

Case dropped = decree creating Goldshire.

How does that make our case dropped?

Dude... Case dropped -> decree creating Goldshire! Seriously!

What does this have to do with Goldshire?

"Quid pro quo"

Technically the creation of goldshire doesn't help us. It removes lands from us.

Territorially, you are correct. But from a legislative aspect, not to mention a military one, it helps you a lot. Part of the deal of not protesting Goldshire's formation was that we would be allied duchies indefinitely. You should find Goldshire and myself a considerably loyal and grateful ally. So it essentially doubles Brookshire's influence in the Landsraad as we promised to vote together, along with strengthening both our territories by promising eachother military aid.

Not quite sure on the whole Piscators thing though. I think some sort of deal happened last night in the chat when I was preoccupied. It might be in hallo's logs.

Then we owe favor to you. Not Elwynn...

Yeah, I don't know...

If it had not been for the executive route taken by your kindly erstwhile Steward - the Landsraad would have had to have passed the Goldshire Bill unanimously - that is to say with the approval of Elwynn.

Ergo - you owed me.

Harvey owed you. Not us.
