[center][b]284TH RING OF THE PEARL[/b] [i]Presiding Alpha: Ember Dexter: Gemini Sinister: Stoneribs Augur: Sagetip Biomancer: Whispering Potions Quartermaster: Golden "Goldie" Fields Chronicler: Clever Ant[/i][/center] FIRST DECLARATION: Lady Mosaic is to be incorporated into the pack [i]Lares[/i], alongside the Ancestors, Poseidon Tidefather, and Mars Wolfkeeper. Her instructions and guidance are to be given appropriate weight, and her iconography will join the shrines of the Silver Divers. SECOND DECLARATION: full assumption of control of the voidfaring vessel [i]Plousios[/i]. While it [i]serves[/i] Lady Mosaic, it [i]belongs[/i] to the Silver Divers, who will serve as her command crew and administrate the vessel appropriately. THIRD DECLARATION: as the [i]Plousios[/i] is in no condition to make war on the Azura as the [i]Lares[/i] deserve to witness, the Silver Divers will seize and incorporate merchant shipping and Azura colonies for materials and labor until repairs are complete, at which point the Ring will ask the [i]Lares[/i] for guidance. FOURTH DECLARATION: a tenth of plunder to each member of the Ring, to be distributed as they see fit, and a double tenth to the Alpha. All else to be divided equally among the pack. FIFTH DECLARATION: a summons for Plundering Fang, to present herself before the Ring and renew allegiance to the pack. SIXTH DECLARATION: a feast to be held in the Third Hall in the name of Lady Mosaic, open to both clan and outsiders, so that the outsiders may understand their place aboard the ship in protected service to the Silver Divers and to Lady Mosaic, and that the Silver Divers might revel in victory. SEVENTH DECLARATION: those initiated into the cult of the [i]Plousios[/i] are to be treated as [i]auxilia[/i]. They are not pack, but they are of service, and not to be tormented, save at the discretion of the Ring. All others are fair prey. SUSTAINED by unanimous agreement. The harmonious pack is the strong pack. Hail the [i]Lares![/i] Hail Ceron!
