[SECOND POST] Magus Nilrem Ethereal codex journal entry Season One of the year 3901 Sir William's counter speech and Alexander's message. Current stat readings: Assets(5) Power(5) Production(3) Influence (1) Charm(0) Deed interrupted my meditation with news concerning the affair of The Nameless Revolutionary and a message from Master Alexander Lanc*, the engineer prodigy who managed to get onto Pillar Dakhen's High Council. I asked for the update on The Nameless Revolutionary first, whether he commands the enthusiasm of the people or not, The Nameless Revolutionary could still light the fuse on a dauntingly large powder keg, so news of his status as a threat to the current order should take priority in my opinion. As it turns out, Sir William of Dakhen delivered a counter speech shortly after The Nameless Revolutionary sunk back into the crowd. I must say, I admire the man's spirit, and I sense that his heart is in the correct place. However, this doesn't stop the chill I feel every time I think about The Knights of Ruin, I've meditated on their intentions, but something seems to keep me from reaching a clear answer. But enough of knights for now, the time has come for the engineers to take the main spot on my mind, or more specifically, Master Alexander Lanc. After hearing the news regarding The Nameless Revolutionary, I asked Deeds to show me the message from Alexander. His message speaks of us meeting to decide the opening moves we'll make now that we're in power. I have included my reply below. [hider=My reply to Lanc's message]Master Lanc I agree with you, the time has come for The High Council to meet and talk over our opening moves. Please send me the time at which you wish to meet with us and I shall attend without fail. -Magus Nilrem[/hider] [i]Echos of past events nudge the tiller on my present course, I await it's reflection in the future.[/i] -Magus Nilrem *Unlike Madame Katherine, I sense a good heart in that man of machines and I look forward to working with him.
