Saras gave a respectful nod towards both Marod and Lunise. "Agreed. This council has, of course, known [i]of[/i] you since we first established contact, through reports from the Champion and our other representatives who have been in contact with you. But, hopefully we shall be able to accomplish more by working together face-to-face." 

With the introductions over, Meesei decided it was time to get to business. "For the first point of order, I believe we should get straight to the most important matter. The Rueful Axe has been recovered, and we have collected enough sigil stones and other required resources to carry out an attack on Vile's domain. However, I am not certain of our chances of success at our current strength. Thus, we need to collect every possible ally that we can for the attack. Marod, Lunise, you both have been fighting against Vile and his influence for almost as long as us by this point, and you both have seen the evidence for what will happen should he succeed. We all know that there is no other option [i]except[/i] to stop Vile, so my first question for both of you is if you believe it will be possible to convince your governments to provide support for this endeavor."
