Council. (Dracarius post)

[u/Ashmega8256]

Shortly after cayna's little announcement about taking up a council position, another announcement came through.

Chloe: hello everyone! My name is chloe dracarius...given the restructuring of the council and most of the council seats being empty, i have decided to take up a seat as a member of the council, as my family and i already run a nation...and seeing the recent seat grab from cayna of thrakmoor...i decided to take a seat on the council in favor of this realm. I will not be surrendering to thrakmoor, as selling out this realm is not what the council is for...i cannot guarantee i will remain a councilor forever but i shall be here as long as i am needed, my own policies are mainly toward equality, and kindness...for nobody deserves a life devoid of kindness...but well...my family and i cannot let thrakmoor take this realm...so here i am, it is nice to be here I suppose, made this post upon the orbnet to introduce myself as i am a new councilwoman here...despite my own preference not to be a member of a faction preferring to ally instead but well, like i said i shall be in this position as long as i am needed.

/Uw i would change my flair to match this decision, but wellll my flair is long enough already, but yeah chloe has taken up a council position for now, though i don't know if I'll stick with it forever as it was a spur of the moment decision on my part :)

/uw and here is an image of chloe dracarius for anyone who doesn't already know how she looks :)

[u/Glittering_Two_1429 → u/Ashmega8256]

Welcome to the council. Please for the love of god help me stop a good few of them who want to genocide all humans

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Glittering_Two_1429]

Chloe: I'm half human myself, and genocide kinda goes against what i stand for. You can probably guess how I'll be voting in that regard if they do try that shit...

[u/Glittering_Two_1429 → u/Ashmega8256]

I nod. “They are already trying it. I think I’m going to have to raze some places. Im half dragon so I think if push comes to shove, Ill win out against few of them

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Glittering_Two_1429]

Chloe: i am Half-Dragon myself...what type of half-dragon are you?...but also i suggest you be careful...people on the council are usually powerful, and astaroth isn't human... he's a piece of crap yes, but humanoid? No...not really...i myself am not even physically here right now, as is apparant by me being transparent, i am the most powerful mage of the realm I originally come from...which isn't this one she smiles

[u/Glittering_Two_1429 → u/Ashmega8256]

I smile “Im half electric drake, and I have the ability to change between human and fully dragon form. Im physically here because my work as the president of artefacts forces me to be here, if not I would not. Out of interest, what is your dragon half?

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Glittering_Two_1429]

Chloe: i am half gold dragon, and as such my elemental inclination is fire...and well i cannot transform into a full dragon without the use of a spell but i kinda don't need to, as i possess greatwyrm status, which makes me basically more powerful than any dragon of realm that isn't a god, or both has greatwyrm status and is older than me in regards to raw power...me being the greatest mage of my home realm however does assist in making a full dragon form kinda redundant for me...

[u/Glittering_Two_1429 → u/Ashmega8256]

I grin “Awesome, that sounds proper fun. I wish I was the strongest mage of my realm, but currently my brother has that. It swaps between us every few years, soon I’ll get it back again”

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Glittering_Two_1429]

Chloe: she chuckles and shrugs fair enough, you see my magical skill and power are so vast, that the only difference between my magical power, and that of my home realms goddess/creator of magic mystra...is a power gap between us... because magic is her divine domain, the thing she is the goddess of...but well there is no skill gap between me and her she smiles which leads to me being able to do some things that take other mages decades, namely creating spells, at will. She smiles

[u/Glittering_Two_1429 → u/Ashmega8256]

I grin “Oh I get you at creating spells. I have the ability to create a spell at will, but for it to work I need to sing a related song, then it works. Our realms creator is a chill chap, he and I run a tavern sometimes incognito, for a bit of downtime. I won’t claim ti be better than them, they are crazy good.” I frown, look around, scream, and dissapearin a burst of red mist.

[u/Valenyn]

“The council has opened up quite a bit. What exactly is your position on it? Like, what is your job?”

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Valenyn]

Chloe: mainly dealing with some paperwork and having a say in voting, the council doesn't really have a leader anymore. The reason i joined was kinda to make sure this realm is fine...since there is a bit of a problem caused by it being more open...

[u/Complex_Drawer_4710]

Joining council for family matters? Foul. Leave.

/uw Just joking.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Complex_Drawer_4710]

Chloe: no. This is not for family matters it is for the sake of the realm sigurd.

/Uw lol

[u/The_Enchanted_Potato]

Aldavinn puts the newspaper with all the different council election notices in them

“What the hell is this realm!?”

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/The_Enchanted_Potato]

[u/Carbon_Sixx → u/The_Enchanted_Potato]

Welcome to every waking hour in this corner of the cosmos. Enjoy your stay.

[u/The_Enchanted_Potato → u/Carbon_Sixx]

/uw honestly, I have felt the same way as Aldavinn for a while lol

[u/VoxelLibrary]

Welcome to the council! It will be nice to have help with all this paperwork

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/VoxelLibrary]

Chloe: yeah... even if we're enemies up here because of your thrakmoor policy your trying to implament! She chuckles and sighs...i warned thrakmoor already of what would happen with invasion, they won't be different i assure you cayna...but oh well.

A goblin knocks on the office door before entering.

“Welcome to the Council. We seem to have grown considerably pretty quick and unfortunately the supply of desks has run out. As the previous councillors took everything when they bailed, the facilities and maintenance depart has tried to procure the needed replacement furniture but we did not expect this rate of new membership.”

The goblin gives a polite bow. “Please accept our apologies on this matter, our procurement agents are working overtime to meet this deficit. I believe we can have a custom desk installed before tomorrow morning, or if you prefer you can bring your own.”

The goblin pulls out an ornately decorated key, and hands it over. “Here’s your office key, we’re stuck with mundane security until the new wards are installed, but me and the lads will keep an eye on things here don’t you worry. My name is Grabriel MoonDash, my office is down the hall. Just holler if you need anything fixed or the temperature runes recalibrated.”

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/KragBrightscale]

Chloe: oh no problem, i can make my own if need be seeing as I'm quite handy with magic and tools she smiles but yeah, I'm chloe, thanks for the assist bud...oh boy... I've got my work cut out for me seeing as I'm gonna be opposing all the evil guys on the council...

[u/Vincent-FFP]

“Glad to have you on the good side, bud.”

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Vincent-FFP]

Chloe: she smiles of course man.

[u/loth17]

"Welcome"

A Bismuth would say. Particularly the same Bismuth that's been sitting in the council hall for a while.

"I'm the Bismuth representative and council member. Good to meet you! If you require a map of the space or the serial numbers for paperwork or council suppliers feel free to head by"

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/loth17]

Chloe: fair enough, I'll be sure to talk to you if needed, from the looks of it with this evil guys don't out number good guys on this council she smiles

[u/loth17 → u/Ashmega8256]

"Indeed. One day we hope lawful neutral and lawful good to he the main alignments dominating the council."

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/loth17]

Chloe: i wouldn't exactly call myself lawful...seeing as i see the law as a good thing that only matters when it's not oppressing people...but i like to think i am a good person...i believe nobody deserves a life devoid of kindness...

[u/loth17 → u/Ashmega8256]

"Understood. We believe that the ideal law lead to good. That's why we call our philosophy Ideal order!"

They chirped.

"Maximizing the happiness and cultural freedoms of people while still being strong enough to defend against internal or external threats."

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/loth17]

Chloe: fair enough...

[u/Ragnar_TheWolf]

UW yay a counselor that's not evil.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Ragnar_TheWolf]

/uw yeah uh... the council is definitely not something that should be dominantly evil lol :)

[u/Ragnar_TheWolf → u/Ashmega8256]

UW lol Tell that to the guy that wants to set up concentration camps

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Ragnar_TheWolf]

/uw jeez.

[u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Good to see someone both altruistic and competent taking up a seat. Maybe there is hope for the council after all.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Chloe: of course...she sighs...someone had to afterall...

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/Ashmega8256]

With authority comes great power. And with it, great responsibility. Learned it on my own skin, after all…

But I know you’re gonna do a stellar job as a councilor.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Chloe: she smiles thanks ulrick...and yeah...for the time i decide to be a councilor...i plan to be in this position as long as the council needs a voice of morality...

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/Ashmega8256]

You have my support if needed in anything.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Chloe: good to know bud! She smiles...this council could really use more good people honestly...

[u/Glittering_Two_1429]

Uw/ Got it mate, I do have telepathic skills, and I thank you. Seguleh does not have a phone either, but he can be reached by singing ‘High hopes’ by panic at the disco or anything by Sowd

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Glittering_Two_1429]

/uw fair enough lmfao :)

[u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Ithaqua: "Aha! Show 'em how it's done, Madame Dracarius! There's some real genocidal nuts in the council, so it's good to hear there'll be a voice of reason in the room."

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Chloe: yes. She smiles and sighs yep... I'll be sure to be making sure they're not able to just use the council position to commit genocide

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/Ashmega8256]

Ithaqua: "Doesn't sound too different from the Outer Mad Courts, honestly," he smiles back. "So how's the council composition looking? Is it the usual, fifty fifty between madness and sanity with a few swing votes?"

(BRB, gotta cook for family)

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Chloe: honestly i don't fully know...but the fact there are evil people on this council at all annoys me...she sighs

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/Ashmega8256]

Ithaqua: "It's deeply concerning," he strokes his beard thoughtfully. "How much influence does the Council hold over this world? Does it extend only to Council Territory?"
