Faetalis was glad to see everyone receive their key and promotion with their own humble statement. They still held her in reverence and respected her as their leader, but were more than willing to make the attempt to stand beside her as equals. It was in their nature to serve; born into subservience with nothing to do, but answer to the calls of a higher authority.

Faetalis knew this, but she would see their shackles broken, and those binding chains undone, here and now.

As each newly appointed Supervisor accepted their Soulbound Key, and their gifted floors, Faetalis would return to her seat, and take stock of them, as Gammaton spoke her opinion on the matter of Anzelgard, and whether it should be annexed into the care of Infactorium as a vassal kingdom or sacrificed as a pawn for a greater play in this chess game they’d stumbled upon.

However, her opinion was one of five.

Faetalis would leave herself to take care of the execution of events, and exclude herself from the decision-making process - this would be her first test of their individuality and cooperation. Infactorium operated with a Democratic Majority Vote between the Raid Council, once consisting of her closest friends and founding members, even though the Guild Hall, itself, recognized only Faetalis as its Monarchical ruler. 

Whether they realized it or not, her remaining Overseers had become the new Raid Council.

“[color=add8e6]These are true statements, both of them, and valid opinions,[/color]” Faetalis says, folding her hands beneath her chin - the [b]/ikarisit[/b] emote that came with pre-ordering the expansion she’d thrived in. “[color=add8e6]As it stands, Anzelgard is a trivial piece land generating naught but chattel. Fodder. Feed. Human. Beast. Flora. Either way, it all serves an inevitable purpose and gain for Infactorium, as you said. However, as you’ve admitted, as well, Gammaton, you do not fully comprehend the vassal kingdom's complete and potential uses, either.[/color]”

Faetalis turned her eyes to Cormac, “[color=add8e6]Cormac has been living among them. A blacksmith amongst the ranks of a kingdom valued only for its profession and possession of a, once, rich bauxite ore mine, which Tungsten has been so kind to strip bare and process for us.[/color]” Her eyes drifted to the Supervisors in question, “[color=add8e6]Thusly, there are notions and knowledge that differ in their minds of this,[/color]” Faetalis looked to Mae, “[color=add8e6]And, of course, there is our dutiful Head Cheftress, Mae, whom has taken to room and board one of Anzelgard’s discarded own, and learned much from her life and experiences.[/color]”

“[color=add8e6]Do not take me for patronization nor condemnation, Gammaton. I speak thusly out of respect, because, as of today...[/color]” Faetalis stood, and set her hands flat upon her desk, “[color=add8e6]Gammaton. Tungsten Jazz. Levia Vishap. Cormac McIntosh. Canology Mae,[/color]” she spoke their names in turn of their floors, “[color=add8e6]Each of you represents the empty seat of your Creator, your Supreme Being: GrillBears. AlphaQ. NotEvenHere. B;oodAndGut93. Sugi the Hammer.[/color]”

Faetalis’s voice drew firm, serious to a razor’s edge. “[color=add8e6]Each of you stands, no longer subservient to the wishes of your Creators, but the actions of Infinifactorium's Raid Council.”[/color]

“[color=add8e6]Gammaton has opened the floor quite well. This matter of Anzelgard, shall we annex it or destroy it, is the subject of this meeting,[/color]” Faetalis says. “[color=add8e6]Each of you will speak your opinions on the matter, levy your personal judgement, and we shall put it to a Majority Vote once all have spoken.[/color]”

Faetalis took her seat, “[color=DCAE96]Regardless of the decision reached by this Raid Council, I will see it through, as your Leader.[/color]”

There was an unmistakable, familiar shift in her voice - tone and pitch, enunciation as well - yet, no-one could really place it.

“[color=add8e6]The floor is yours, Raid Council. Let’s begin.[/color]” Faetalis says, folding her hands in focus.

And, it was gone - just like that.
