[ Made for noble company; I’ll tag which characters on discord! ]
It was the end of the third day of their journey. They weren’t too far from Cambria, but it would also be some days more. Their pace was comfortable but also picking up. They had a task on this tour, after all.
Dinner had been served and a meeting was called immediately afterwards. Guards lined the outside, and within, besides the nobles, stood @alys and Regan Lassiter, there to be eyes and ears and nothing more unless the king should call on them.
A circle of chairs was in the center of the meeting tent. Cassian sat in his kingly position. Everyone had already arrived [no need to do entrance details!].
“I want to be clear,” Cassian began, starting this off by getting to the point, “about why I invited you all in this tour. Cambria and Coheed have been territories of Nevermere for some years now, yet some would argue that they are no more a part of this kingdom than they were before. Nevermere had prospered, yes, but now it is my goal to see us truly united under one banner. Not as Nevermereans, Coheedsmen, and Cambrians, but as one people. I understand this may take generations to see fulfilled, but my goal is to start making the necessary changes now. All of you,” his eyes flickered over the nobles, “are key parts of Nevermere in one way or another. For some, it is your family’s history. For others, it is how you serve now to make our kingdom great.” Those he spoke of knew where they fell.
“My request is this: observe. Question. Learn. At the end of this tour, great changes in these territories will be made. I invite you all to have a heavy hand of input in the changes.” He fell silent then, giving them a moment to digest and the opportunity to speak if they felt led.
