*Kathryn laughs softly* So many questions at once, good sir. Luckily, before I came here I spoke with General Moren on the state of the King's armies. The General is still counting the losses since the battle, but he expects their numbers have been reduced by half to two-thirds. Most of the troops l...

*To Corbyn*

Though I have not traveled King Rodericks realm widely, I do know that his borders extend 3 days travel in each direction from Woodhold.

*Kathryn smiles a very slight smile*

None taken.

*To Elder Corbyn* My apologies, you are correct; I neglected the issue of coin. King Roderick has begun to arrange a system of coins, which was unfortunately much delayed by the war with Hildebrandt. Presently, there is a barter system being used by much of society, with Letters of Rights, or "...

*Kathryn considers the man in confusion* How can you say that this law is meant to discourage speech for the betterment of the kingdom? You have taken my words, "slanderous things," and twisted it to mean suppression of the people. I assure you, King Rodericks people speak freely about the...

I'm sure that one could make such statements about any law such as 'there shall be no killing.' No killing of what? Well, no killing of citizens and guests of the kingdom of course, but were one to take it solely on the basis of words alone and not intent, one could say that no one is allowed to kil...

*Kathryn gives a nod to Lady Rosamund* My lady, I believe your question is answered by the very law itself, though I am no Magistrate... It does say "injure, charm, or incapacitate" so I believe the intent of the potion is probably the key factor. The knowledge of such potions is not illeg...

*As the flood of questions comes in, Kathryn takes mental note of each one. Finally she raises her hands in front of her, palms out, in a placating fashion* Please, let me answer what you have asked so far before we continue further. Firstly, to answer Elder Corbyn's questions, the justice sytem in ...

*Kathryn rises, a bit of surprise on her face* Frankly, it comes as a surprise that the offers of King Roderick haven't already been shared with the entire populace of Haven. However, if it is a speech you wish, then a speech you shall have. *She paces back and forth thoughtfully for a few moments, ...

*Kathryn smiles at Lambic*

Thank you, but apologies are not needed. I am not here to make grandiose speeches, but to hear what Haven has to say and to tell you the benefits that joining with King Rodrick will bring you.

*Kathryn nods*

I will be sure to convey your preferences to the King. I hope that you are aware that the King offers much to Haven in the way of defenses and fortifications, should you choose to take him up on his offer.

The brighter, more distinct the better. Easier for finding them in the dark, and retrieving yours from other players/NPCs.

*Kathryn gives a polite nod to all she is introduced, or re-introduced to, as the case may be. Once it seems the majority have arrived, she makes a simple statement* More then just a messenger, my good man. I have been appointed the Royal Ambassador of Woodhold to Haven. As many of you know, I lived...

*Kathryn turns on the bench to face the rest of the gathering, waiting patiently for everyone to arrive*

*Kathryn glances around the room, checking to see if Haven's leaders have assembled yet.*
