Greetings All,

I do not post often on this board, finding most of the posts on it either spiteful, useless or inane, however recent events have helped spawn some intelligent conversation and ideas, and have finally prompted me to unveil an idea that has been held within the confines of my somewhat spacious head for some time.

Originally, my idea was to have a Grand Council made up of former Guildmasters to oversee and be judges or a sort to the goings on of GMs throughout Achaea. In this fashion, us mortals could go to the council if we had a problem with our GMs that we felt to afraid to voice and didn't want to bother the Patron with. However, such problems seemed quite rare and so the organizing of a council to deal with them seemed rather pointless.

That is, until Kroul and his orcs and ogres from the beyond made their heinous way into our land to slaughter and kidnap those we hold dear, and those on whom our economy stands. Now, more then ever, we need a group of qualified, dedicated leaders, willing to lay down their political differences, and be mature and understanding enough to stand up with and by each other to lead us through these troubled times.

As yet, I am young and do not know enough to know where to begin with organizing such a monumental council, though I would be more then happy to assist those that do. In the interest of preserving Peace, sometimes you must prepare for war, and hope it never comes. Though I fear such hoping will no go far in these days of darkness and tragedy.

An another note, I would like to extend my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to Tsoll'aa everywhere. If any of you need anything, I will do everything within my limited power to help.
