Brother Bart opens the meeting with an invitation.  "You are invited to submit development plans for the Province of Midmarch.  This includes the free towns  as well as the other towns and villages of the province.  It is Henry's intention to allow the Freetown of Wyvern Bridge to develop freely, other settlements are intended for more rural and countryfied development."

Brother Bart clears his throat and opens the meeting with a description of the province's plans for Wyvern Bridge.  "Lord Henry, in consultation with Pemar, the governor, has already agree the following changes to Wyvern Bridge.

Yolen, as Magistrate and guard commander, will move into the Villa in the middle of town, While Pemar and Mia will build a new home for themselves in the central district. There will also be a new Town Hall in the central district, and Lord Henry has decided to reward Yolen for her stirling service over the years, by building a stable and gifting that to her.

Abbess Beatrix has agreed to upgrade the Holy House to a Friary and add a crypt.  The town grows, but there is plenty of opportunity for  investors to claim a 'piece of the action' immediately."



1) Fortified Villa becomes home to Yolen  as magistrate head of the guard
2) Build mansion for  Pemar and Mia (Central)  (Loy+1, Stab+1)
3) Build a Town Hall (Central) (Loy+1, Stab+1)
4) Build a stables for Yolen  (Econ +2)
5) Pharasma
_ _Holy House > Friary  (1.5bp) (+1 spec, +1 Loy)
_ _Crypt  (1bp)  (Loy +1, Stab +1)

Tot -   Econ +2, Loy +4, Stab +3.

At the back of the room, Henry nods his head as Brother Bart speaks, and then adds  "I have also decided to reward Sir Borric, Chief Magistrate of Midmarch, for his service.  I will build a new hamlet, at Outpost, and give it to Sir Borric as his home, and estates.  That will, I believe, complete developments at Outpost.  The other villages, however, are still open for development, if anyone so desires."

Andalon smiles and adds his own proposal.

"Last year the Church of Abadar built a chapel and a bank in Wyvern Bridge. This year we would like to expand that chapel to a temple, as fitting for the future role envisaged for Wyvern Bridge within Midmarch."

OOC: Chapel upgrade to temple: costs 2.5BP, +1 special, +1 loyalty, +1 stability.

Brother Bart nods his acceptance of Bishop Andalon's proposals.

Accompanied by her assistant Lynessa and each carrying an extensive collection of scribing gear - scrolls, books, inks and quills - Marceline does her best to look professional as she approaches the assembled council with her proposal.

"Hello good sirs, I am Sister Marceline, Servent of Pharasma. I have with me plans to expand into the town of Kunlun for the more...overlooked aspect of the Lady's faith." She nods to Lynessa who produces two separate scrolls and places them in reach of the Midmarch council. "I have plans for a garden, a place for the public to have for mourning, or remembrance, or simply to enjoy, and a florists. Everything should be in order here."

OOC: BP Plans for A Florist (1bp), Public Garden (1bp) & a Monument (0.5bp), total 2.5BP

Brother Bart smiles broadly, always pleased to see his own goddess being promoted. Without even glancing at Henry for approval, Bother Bart gives his assent. "I look forward to visiting the gardens and monument, when they are built."

Adoven stands and says "I wish to establish a maritime base at Wyvern Bridge. Towards that end I am planning on building a Shipping Office and a Warehouse. It also occurs to me that as we expand in the area, it would be useful to situate a boatyard that can supply vessels for Trade with New Stetvan and Mivon, and patrol boats to protect our waterways. I don't know if this is the correct venue for it, but by the negotiating skills of Percy Amdell and Tobias, we have secured a wharf and a warehouse in the Riverside district of Restov. I will be adding a shop and sending some Shallops and a Keeler to make Restov their home. I anticipate increased trade with them."



OOC This turn, adding a Shipping Office and Warehouse (+2 Econ) to Wyvern Bridge. Want approval before I start taking up space with a boatyard. Initial investment of 10 BP to secure properties in Restov. Adding Shop to Restov for 2.5 BP. Unknown yet how much I will have left to put into ships for Restov.

"Excellent news, my lord.  I am sure that Tusk, and all of us, will benefit greatly from your new developments in Restov.  As for Wyvern Bridge, we would be pleased to host your shipping Office and Warehouse, and will find space, somewhere, for your new boatyard." Bart responds with a soft smile, and notes down the changes that will be made.

"Thanks to donations from my husband and Viscount Henry, we will be able to open a Three Ladies school in Wyvern Bridge, this year." Lady Valoria, says from the back of the room.

Once again, Henry speaks up from the back of the room.  "Hearing Lord Adoven's proposals, I think we will open a new district at Wyvern Bridge, and perhaps, dedicate it to land based trade.  To that end, I will finance the relocation of both DELEM and WSM to that new district, which will, in turn, free up space for V&A's boatyard and other, similar, development plans.

Therefore, my Lord Adoven, you have permission to build your boatyard immediately."

With a bow, Adoven says "thank you, my Lord. New vessels can serve our needs as we extend Trade both north and South."
