Record
Damon Halliwell:  I now bring this senate meeting to order. We will now start with the past events of the week. Well it seems it was a....quite week... Who wants to talk about last night?

Arranax DeVin:  Shouldn't you discuss your drunken interrogation with your peers?

Zanbor Emerson:  Last night was a tragic mistake and we should never talk about it again.

Sonja Vines:  Uh...What happened?

Damon Halliwell:  Well it will be reviewed...because I can’t remember it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Mr. Furlbrow, could you bring me up to speed?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Nathul Furlbrow: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> ... Some fellow named.. "Billy Mage", wished to join the Senate.. For some reason the Chancellor called a Senate meeting to give him an interview... Most everyone was in a drunken state...

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Also I turned a death knight into a turtle.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Muzula Silverweave: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Damon was attacked by a Mongoose..

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I was??

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Kyandra Icefire: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> So many people were drunk yesterday.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Well then...I really need to stop drinking I guess.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Well, that's hardly a new development...

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> So ya...um... Next week’s events.Archmage Baelheit was suppose to talk about something he found but I am unsure where he is....

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I have a suggestion, Chancellor.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Damon Halliwell: Yes what is the suggestion?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> If I might take the floor?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> By all means.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Right. As many of you have probably realized by now, our schedule for the next few weeks is a bit... lacking., I know that we all like to go down to the Lounge and get intoxicated most every night anyway, I propose bringing back tavern night. One night a week that is quote-unquote officially a time to meet up at the Lounge. If the Senate is generally in approval of this?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> We should go back to Stormwind and drink again.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Arranax, I'm surprised they even let you through the gate, let alone into the bars.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Mab Nimue: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> What, are we drinking again?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Vorien Dawnstrider: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> No, Miss Nimue.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Anyways! Just a thought. We'll try it out for a week or so and see if people wish to attend. Also, I move that the Chancellor be barred as per the Vice-Chancellor's suggestion. At least until he pays for what I imagine is a great deal of damage. Right! That is all. I hope to see you all there.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Muzula...do you have an event to speak about?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Muzula Silverweave: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Indeed. I will be holding a real feast this Wednesday in Stormwind. All members of the Senate will be allowed to attend, as well as bring one extra, and a single dish. All of which, will be paid by my own Lands. That is all, Chancellor.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Dismissed. Archmage Baelheit, you wished to speak?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> That would be very much appreciated. My Colleagues of the Kirin Tor, I ask your attention. There have been many amongst you have who taken note of the bizarre magical disturbances that have been plaguing Azeroth lately. Yesterday, Mage-Commander Vanidicus and I were afforded the Possibility to examine one such rift. Prior to this, I observed one in Gilneas with Aya. These rifts have been spewing an energy of such extreme power, They have been, until now, unrecognizable. But we now have a confirmation. These Rifts are Chronomantic. Time Magic, to the uninformed. Allow me to further elaborate. It began innocuous enough. Rifts form on Azeroth more commonly then you may think. Simple Ley-Lines folding and wrapping. But these Rifts have not faded, they have only grown in size and intensity. That alone is enough cause for Alarm, but yesterday, we confirmed that these Rifts have connected to another location. And these rifts -will- open, my friends. We have a number of Mages that have been experiencing unusual activity. Mrs. Escol, You've had such experiences?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Aithnea Escol: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Oh yeah, chronomancy wards around the city have been fluctuating and it keeps tripping my alarm spells on... DAMNIT... the hold ward just tripped again...

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> And Aya, In your lands of Gilneas. We encountered one such Rift, almost fully formed. We have all sensed, these Rifts, but there are Eight that stand out above all others. The Dragonblight, The Blasted Lands, Ahn'Qiraj, even Dalaran itself.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I have never heard of so many time Portals ever...

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Kyandra Icefire: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> But what will come out when they fully open?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I have no idea. The Bronze Dragonflight may once have been equipped to intervene, yet... I just don't know. We must be prepared, Chancellor. Prepare for an Infinite number of Possibilities.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I would agree, we have never face something like this in the history of Dalaran that I know of.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I have two questions for the Councilor.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Of course, Meriahm.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Firstly, how can you ensure that the Bronze Dragonflight will not take offense to us meddling with these rifts? This is their area, after all, hardly ours.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Obviously those useless snakes are asleep at the switch.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I can't, Meriahm. If we can get the Bronze Flight's attention, we would be on much firmer grounds. But their attention is divided across Timeless islands and Dragonshrines and it's all they can do to maintain their duties. If we live in the Age of Mortals... there must be something we can do, to stop this bizarre magic from turning into chaos.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I see. Second question. Rips in time and space - not portals, but honest tears where there should not be - can be nigh impossible to close once opened. There are very few people on Azeroth with the know-how to do so. Is there not a way that we can prevent the rifts from opening, rather than waiting to see what they do? Nip this in the bud immediately, before it can spiral out of control.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> That's just it, Meriahm. This is beyond what Mortal spellcasters should be capable of, but it's now beyond the capabilities of the Bronze Flight. I wish I had answers... but there are none.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Hmmm... that is very troubling, Verus. Thank you. I have no further questions.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Are there any further questions?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Cronax Runetouch: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Yes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Ask your questions. You first, Cronax.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Cronax Runetouch: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Very well; I simply ask how quickly new rifts are forming, and if any of them are dissipating?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> As I mentioned earlier, we've been able to sense several Rifts, but some rifts that say, I could sense, are untraceable to others. And Vice-Versa. We're assembling a Chart, to try and map them all. But we're all getting an incomplete picture. Aya, What was your question?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Aya Avernus: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Thank you. I'll... do my best to make this brief. What will be done if, and when, these rifts open?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> If they open? Deploy immediately, before anything can come through. -If- anything goes through. And attempt to seal it. Meriahm, the Mage-Commander, and I are working on that... Mister Fairthorne. Please ask your question.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Beauwitt Fairthorne: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> I'm aware there's quite a bit of uncertainty regarding this rifts already, but have you noted anything about the extra temporal nature of these rifts? Do we have any idea of what's at the other end of the rift?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I have no idea. They may open to another time; they may open to another version of our time in which things have happened differently. Causality is an irritating thing.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Beauwitt Fairthorne: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> I understand. Thank you, Archmage.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> And finally, Mister Ramsacker?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Feldernost Ramsacker: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> What actions are we willing to take on these rifts? The magic would be destructive, Aye?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Verus Baelheit: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Indeed. As I said, these Rifts are growing. Given time... they could devour portions of Azeroth. As for what we can do, the Librarium, and indeed, the entire Senate, shall be invested in seeking a Solution. And that... is all I have to say, Chancellor. Violet Eye watch over us.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Thank you, dismissed. I now open the floor to any who wish to speak on any matter, just raise a hand. Very well, we now move on to promotions.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Nathul Furlbrow: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Wait! There will be a Fish Fry!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Damon Halliwell: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Verus, I yield the floor to you.
