Relations with Callen

[melon]

Really when was he born.

[syd]

513 AC

[melon]

Oh yes that would make him 3.

[syd]

By the way, the Reach may be seeking independence sooner than previously thought. I recommend everyone gets into a position of safety if you aren't already in one.

[The Flint]

Why, what has accelerated the situation?

[syd]

The timing seems better now than before. Callen is on his way to Highgarden with 2,000 Reach knights. We have the largest standing army -by far-, and would be able to outmaneuver anyone should they deny us the rights to rebel.

[sercoletyrell]

So we're gonna take Callen hostage?

[The Flint]

Will all of the Reach knights rally to the Flower standard?

[syd]

No, that wouldn't be honorable, but it would be much less intelligent for him to attack us when he is in our company.

[syd]

Varner: Yes, they should all raise their banners for this cause.

[The Flint]

so we intend to hold him, while we "negotiate terms for Reach independence?"

[syd]

Essentially yes. It's much harder to a refuse independence when you are staying at the hospitality of those who wish to be free. We don't want to threaten his life, though.

[The Flint]

let us be very careful than in how we frame the discussion. he is our most gracious guest, we are negotiating "independence and autonomy." etc.

[syd]

Very good point. It would be excellent if each of you could post in the Feast thread, that I just created- so that we're all present and ready to defend ourselves (verbally of course).

[melon]

This could be a problem for me as in Tall's mind the King is especially his guest as he brought him here and it will be hard for Tall to choose a side.
