[hider=Events of Spring]
By the order of Jarless Myriane of Ashgold, Lady of Ashfall, the Wolf Festival was held after long years of being discontinued by the previous Jarl. The Wolf Festival was once a long standing tradition in Ashgold to honour the Direwolves of Direwolf Pass. While even the coronation of King Henrick was a low key affair for the most part, the Wolf Festival ended up a large success, with revelers from across Norsia flocking to the Jarldom for the festivities. The festival earned a welcome boost to the Ashfall economy over the course of the Spring. 30 Gold Earned

Jarl Koval held a summit of minor houses of Arda N'Jor as well as an invitation extended to Jarl Zarathustra to discuss the future of Norsia. The influx of Nord lords in Frostmourne provided a boost to the economy over the course of the spring. 20 Gold earned.

Several merchant vessels have gone missing in the Shivering Sea despite calm waters. In Escgor, there is talk of black sails along the northern coast and even within the Icevein Inlet. It is feared that pirates, taking advantage of the Beron's Fall, sought to raid the seafarers of Norsia. It is hoped that with the rise of King Henrik, peace will return to the waters of Norsia.[/hider] 

[b][center]Dawn of a New Reign[/b][/center]
Celebrations were held far and wide across the land as a new king stepped forward to claim the crown of Norsia. The kingdom seemed united again as Otrygg lowered the crown upon the brow of Henrik, King of Morsia, Jarl of Tyr, Protector of the Realm. Despite the jubilation, whispers of doubts were spoke regarding the future of the realm under Henrik's lead. Though most Jarldoms swore fealty to King Henrik, there were two that had yet to do so, though oaths of fealty were expected soon, as all of Norsia had done so already. With great anticipation, the Jarls await King Henrik to announce his council at the summer's Jarlmoot. As news of the fall of Beron and the crowning of the new king reaches the other kingdoms of Nirn, the Jarls intend the Moot to find envoys from both Highathar and Galadriel in attendance...

Otrygg smiles warmly, standing before the hearth, as the Jarls fill the hall, finding their seats among the Moot. With a respectful nod to King Henrik, Otrygg opens the Moot...

[i]"Glory be to Odin, to Thor, to Loki and all the Gods, for they have blessed us with wisdom and brought all of Norsia under united rule under one king. Odin bless the reign of King Henrik, long may he rule.

"Word of our righteous ascension of the new king has spread far and wide across Nirn, and rulers and ambassadors from distant lands have come to pay their respects to the Jarls of the Moot and to the King.

"My King, my Jarls, I give you the Therayn of Mirrorwater, his Grace, Therayn Tinotan of Lithdel..."[/i]

A slender Elf male, tall and lean, dressed in flowing green robes and a golden sash across his waist, a needle of a sword upon his hip, The Elf's face was ageless with bright green eyes, his golden hair falling from his face as he bowed before the Moot. The Elf stood and looked upon the moot warmly, his gaze catching upon Jarless Eyildr.

[i]"Greetings distinguished Jarls, Lords of Norsia and stewards of peace. My name is Tinotan of Lithdel, hailing from Mirrowater. I admit that I looked on from my Theraynship with great anxiety as I saw what befell your kingdom. Yet my fears were unfounded as the grace of Light and the Gods sped you to peace. I come to offer my condolences for the loss of your late king, Beron the Bard and a promise of good terms to King Henrik in regards to my realm as a partner of trade. Beron steered the course of peace and prosperity between Norsia and Galadriel and it is my wish that you, King Henrik, in your wisdom, will do so again. Give me promises of peace and I shall relay your words to the other Theraynships and put ease their minds that stray into Norsia's past, glorious it may have been, but a time when Elves and Nords were less then friends."[/i]

Otrygg returned to the hearth after Tinotan bowed once more...

"I thank you Therayn, you have given us much to discuss here. Your sentiments are appreciated, I assure you. Now, my King, my Jarls, I present you with Master Ven Grinhammer of The Tooth, Guildmaster of the Stonecutters, and Envoy to his Kingship, Isbane Goldgrin, Underking of The Tooth of the High Kingdom of Highathar..."

A stout Dwarf dressed in a leather jerkin with an patch of gold woven upon his chest bowed so low before the moot that his long brown beard touched the ground and it seemed he may fall over.

[i]"Salutations, respected King and Jarls. May the Gods smile on you all. As your wise Otrygg stated, I am Ven Grinhammer, but make no mistake, I am not here at behest of the High King, but rather, Underking Isbane Goldgrin, Lord of the Tooth. While the esteemed Therayn may bandy choice words, I have been instructed by my lord to show you tangible gifts that would result in the Tooth's friendship! I have outside among my caravan a wealth of gold, ten chests in all, to impart to the trust of you, your highness. Gold enough to purchase a fleet of ships is but a taste of what a friend like Underking Isbane can offer you. Send words of friendship for me to carry back to Highathar and let my Lord be set at ease knowing he can call the Nords friends."[/i]

With another low bow, Ven Grinhammer retreated from the hearth and exited the Hall along with Therayn Tinotan, the Elf and Dwarf exchanging cold looks as they exited, leaving the Moot to discuss.

Otrygg clears his throat...

[i]"Now then, my Lords, what say you? Be there a better friend over the other to be found in Mirrorwater or The Tooth? Should each be treated as equal? The King should hear your advice. And what of the Council, my King we must now, who have you decided to sit among you to steer the course of the realm? And what of these black sails plaguing the northern coast and the Icevein, what should be done in that regard? Wisdom find you, my Jarls. Speak!"[/i]

With that, Otrygg found his seat and allowed the Jarls to speak.
