[color=7ea7d8]High Elder Gladstone – Western Brotherhood[/color] "We have been apart for far too long, and that estrangement is a luxury that neither of us can afford. While we disagree on a number of things, there are still plenty that we do agree on. We should build on that, and the rest will follow." Atticus nodded at those words. They held truth. "I agree to your proposal, Brother Atticus-" Barnaky stood and extended his hand to the High Elder as he spoke. "-Our Orders will face the uncertain future...together once more." Atticus set his drink down, stood and accepted the hand of Barnaky. A deal had been struck, and as such, Barnaky sat back down. "I will make arrangements to receive a delegation at Omaha, or send one to Electric City if you prefer, to hammer out the details. The first order of business, I think, should be formally re-establishing direct diplomatic relations be exchanging Ambassadors. We'll also need to establish some sort of agreement with the Khans regarding trade routes." “I have already made arrangements to meet with the Great Khan. A delegation shall be sent to Omaha as soon as a deal is made with him.” Barnaky made his concluding remarks. "While we have much to discuss,I think we have gone about as far as we should...here. Unless you have further concerns that can be safely discussed here, of course." “I think all that has been said is all that needs to be said. If I may Lord Barnaky, I shall bid you a fair day, and take my leave. I have many meetings to attend to.” Walking over to the door, Atticus paused, before turning, giving a small bow of respect to the Lord Paladin, and promptly exited the room. He had much to do.
