I'm having a dumb moment and I don't have those notes handy. Refresh me real quick?

Silverbrow Consortium sent Sapphire here: http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,104384.msg1167782.html#msg1167782

Basically, help establish trade as well as help with diplomatic endeavors with new allies and old alike.

Anastasia

Sapphire is found in Hope's Landing. She is in conversation with an aide, sitting at a table with parchment and ink before her.

"Mmmm-hmmm," Sapphire says, "Tell him that he's welcome, pending an explanation in person for that behavior. I'm sure Moore will give him another chance."

"Someone decide to step too much out of line?" Moore asks as he flies up, smiling.

Anastasia

Sapphire turns, "Duke Moore," she inclines her head to you a moment, as the aide steps away. "A minor merchant got drunk and then grabby with a few of the serving ladies. Perhaps excusable in some parts of Creation, but unacceptable here. Nothing that would sully their honor, but enough of a sin that a hound archon was not gentle with his correction of the merchant." Sapphire steeples her hands together, "Moreso when the merchant assaulted the archon unprovoked. The archon took him by the scruff of the neck and banished him to whence he came."

A shuffle of a few papers, a scan of one, "He claims it was drunkenness and a lapse of judgment caused by stress." A gentle press of her lips together. "He must have been mightily drunk to be able to contemplate such deeds in this light. That matter will be yours to decide."

"Goodness." Moore says as he leans back slightly. "I'd almost say someone put something in his drink, but this was likely just extremely bad judgement fueled by even worse judgement. Yes, it sounds like he has a few things to atone for, I can see to that easily enough."

Anastasia

"The hound archon," Another paper is checked, "Zaye is his name. Zaye has offered to personally oversee atonement, and if he is willing, would sponsor his return for those ends." A scan of another paper before, "In his words, better to correct the problem here than to allow him to go on elsewhere in Creation."

Nephrite

"Yes, I agree." Moore says. "If Zaye is able to to verify the truth of the matter, either with kindness or with magic, then let's make sure that this merchant does want to be an upstanding member of society and not... what he was."

Anastasia

Papers are put aside, and more are taken, "Next is the question of diplomacy. Unofficially, there's quiet feelers from various deities and camps on the lower part of Creation. I suspect most are little more than to see how you react. Less unsavory realms have been more interested. I have official communications from Arcadia, several groups of angels in Elysium, a guild in the Beastlands, Arborea and Arvandor for as little as that difference matters, the House of the Triad, the House of Nature, the House of Knowledge, Dweomerheart, the Court of Stars and far more."  A large stack of envelopes are presented to you, "Most boil down to platitudes and well wishes, as well as the expected courtesies."

"Prioritize the Court of Stars and Arcadia, as well as Dweomerheart, but I will respond to all of them. Or, perhaps I should say we can respond to them all." He says. "Unless there are any you think we should politely decline?"

Anastasia

"That is your choice," Sapphire says, "Read them before you make judgments." She passes them all over to you.

Moore nods. "Is there anything else for right now that I need to see to?"

Anastasia

"Nothing that requires your personal touch, sir," Sapphire says, "I'll send the important things to you, of course. Treasure the ones that matter - and speaking of, we've been collecting offerings and gifts sent. It's a small but pleasant pile of treasure."

Moore nods. "Please feel free to pay yourself and your staff with it. I don't expect you all to work without some sort of compensation." He says with a smile.

Anastasia

"Our compensation is spoken for, but thank you," A nod, a hint of a smile with teeth far too sharp and white is glimpsed.
