[Sovereign Charter] Oehiton reaches out to regional members

[Oehiton]

Early in the morning, President Njorn Beowolf, President of the Free people of Oehiton meets with his councilmen. "Gentlemen, I called you here today on the necessity of diplomacy with immediate neighbors. As it stands, we have four other nations on the same continent as us. One has already reached out in friendship. And I feel that we must cease our isolationism and join the regional powers in politics and economics if we wish to grow. Vice-President Moira Stormsoul "Mr. President, I am in agreement with you on this one. Never before have we had such an opportunity to o not grow economically, but we have an opportunity to learn new technologies and new cultures. Our ancestors were sackers and explorers. Today, we have become isolationist and afraid of our own shadows. Our military, as fine as it is...they keep everything out. No one has been allowed within our borders in...well...I don't remember how long. Does anyone remember?" then the Secretary of Defense speaks up "For the first time ever, Madam Vice-President and I are in agreement..." says the nearly eight foot tall Tyr ironhammer "...and not at odds. I have been leading our military going on thirty years now. And not once has someone from outside of the immediate region been permitted within our borders. Nor for the man before me...or before him...and so on. Not since the age of Thrassk the Bloody has anyone visited our beautiful shores, seen our majestic mountains. We must reach out. Let others know we are here in peace and wish their friendship." Everyone looks at him with surprise. Normally a cold and cruel man, never before has the Secretary of Defense spoken of peace and friendship. Then Helga Bloodbayne speaks out "As the Secretary of Economics, I think you all know I stand as a proponent of this and support the Presidents decision. I think we need to allow others in so we can grow economically...." she looks around "I think for the first time ever, we can all say Mr. President that we are all in agreement with this. Even those who haven't spoken yet, look in their eyes...I think we all agree. Am I wrong?" Everyone shakes their heads and agree, she isn't wrong. The entire Council agree that reaching out Politically and Economically is needed if they are to thrive and survive as a nation. "Then my friends, I here by decree today we shall send out a diplomatic broadcast to all the nations. Those that wish to accept my offer will be welcomed with open arms. Those that choose not to, that is alright and we will not harbor any ill will. Now go, make preparations." and everyone leaves the office while the President calls his speech writer and together they sit down and come up with a broadcast. Three hours later, a broadcast on all communication waves the Press Conference being held is broadcast throughout the Sovereign Charter "My fellow Sovereign Charter members. I am President Njorn Beowolf, President of the Free people of Oehiton. And I come before you all today with open arms. For many generations, the Free People of Oehiton have been isolationist and unwilling to look past our own borders. All the Presidents before me have all seen it best to remain isolated. When I took office a month ago, the first thing I did was ask myself...why? Why must we remain closed? So I began looking outside our borders and I see many great nations in the world. A world so vast and dangerous. Yet beautiful and full of friends. So please let me be the first to openly say...Please, come join me in Oehiton in two weeks time. Let us sit down in peace and discuss how we of Oehiton can fit into the world. We have resources, we have a military, we have a beautiful nation. Our beaches are stunning. Our people...proud and cultured. I invite all nations, even those who have a poor reputation within the world. For none are our enemies nor has anyone done us wrong. I thank you and my office will not refuse any calls from heads of state or their representatives." at this point a broadband communications number appears at the bottom of the screen and is spoken over the radio waves. "Thank you for your time, and long live the Charter." and the communication goes black and ends.
The President goes to his office and calls his council in again and they begin speaking about where it will be held and what must be done to ensure its safety and the well being of all who attend.




(OOC: For all involved, I will be making the initial opening sequence Tuesday morning at about 7 am east coast time, usa.)

To whom it may concern.

Unfortunately Iryllia will have to decline this most gracious offer at this time. Due to the current hostilities about and the turbulent time Iryllia can not afford something like this. We regret this decision but it is a nessecary one. Maybe some time in the future, once things have calmed down somewhat.

We look forwards to the Future

[Dyrdlegastaland]

Eight of the Nine Aqdas Lawspeakers of Dyrdlegastaland assembled meeting behind closed doors, as they commonly did in the Baha'i Theocracy. Improving relations with a fellow Norse-cultured nation seemed like a very good idea, and presented an opportunity to spread the Faith. The flag of Oehiton bore the Mjölnir symbol, and the Oehitonian capital was named Valhalla of all things, so it seemed reasonable enough to assume they were Ásatrú, a religion not unknown to Dyrdlegastaland, despite its theocratic nature. And so, they conspired to send the Lawspeaker most likely to win over the hearts and minds of the followers of the Æsir, the rather flamboyant Lawspeaker who tried to bridge the gap between the Old Faith and the New...

Alláh-u-Abhá,

As a fellow nation of Norse culture, Dyrdlegastaland wishes to welcome thy emergence into the international community and the oneness of mankind. We thus, gladly accept thy invitation and shall send our official most knowledgable on our shared Norse culture and its rich history, Lawspeaker Sigtryggr "Star-in-the-Eye" Völsungson to meet with thee.

Lawspeaker Ævarr Hafþórsson,
Secretary of the Aqdas Lawspeakers,

With respect and honor

President Njorn Beowolf

[Oehiton]

It's a chilly morning in Oehiton on the day of the meeting. All of Oehiton is anxious to see
the honored guests and their entorages. Never before has Oehiton ever allowed so many
foreign dignataries into its borders. The city of Valhalla is filled with music, street
vendors and entertainers. The airport and docks are being guarded by the elite Valkyrie and
Sif troops. The two all female armies are some of the fiercest in all of Oehiton and will
die to protect any and all the guests.

As people approach the city of Valhalla, they are met by the beautiful golden and crystal and
silver architecture. Statues line the causeways and are all over. The citadel is immense
and rises into the air over 500 meters. The airport is a sprawling building that has more
than 200 gates, 150 Hangars and nearly 300 warehouses available. It is almost a city onto
itself. The docks are also a sprawling size with more than 500 ships able to dock.

Visitors will see that Oehitons are huge. Standing nearly three meters in height and
weighing more than 200 kilos on average. Built solidly, obesity is an unusual thing in
Oehiton. Also, those of more common stock and who work more common jobs appear to dress in
fine leather clothing. Those of more professional careers dress in suits of fine fabrics.
The clergymen and women wear a combination of furs & leathers and appear to be hundreds of
years in the past. Even their jewelry appears ancient. Politicians tend to be wearing
fine suits with a leather and fur cloak. But no matter what station they are in life,
everyone carries at least a sword or axe and a dagger on them. Weapons are legal in Oehiton
and it is everyone's right to be able to defend themselves. Firearms are legall as well
but most stick to traditional weapons.

As they vistitors disembark from their airplane or ship, they are met by one of the Presidents
older children, a member of his council as well as numerous other officials. The President
is at the CItadel waiting. Unable to be both at the airport and docks simultaneously,
it was decided he would wait there rather than showing preferences to one or more nations.
All visitors will be driven to the citadel and are shown to very fine luxury limousines.

Upon reaching the citadel, all visitors are welcomed to the Oehiton military band playing
the Oehiton national anthem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eAgd8pN77A .Soldiers stand at
attention and President President Njorn Beowolf stands at the top of the steps with his
wife Ásboð and most of his children. His Captain of the Guard is there as well. As each
visitor arrive and meets the President, they will see that this youngish mountain of a man
is sincere in his desire to make Oehiton a global trading nation and powerhouse. All
visitors and greeted with the traditional closed fist to the greeters heart, forehead then
stretched outwards to the heavens and "Greetings honored friend. I welcome you to Oehiton
and my home. May your stay here be one of honor and enjoyment. Please, come. Join us for
celebration. A feast awaits inside as does entertainment."

As people go inside, they are met with the sprawling chambers of the main floor. It is a
massive chamber lined with statues of past heroes as well as the gods. At the far end is a
Dias with a throne sitting on it. The throne is empty and looks old. In the center of the
floor is what resembles a golden spoke wheel. People can see several elevators in the
room. Guards are on each side of each elevator. Each visitor is taken to an elevator
"The feat is on level fifty. If you'll follow me my lords (and or ladies if present)" and
are taken to an elevator(s) and then taken to the feast hall. Once there, and the doors
open up...their senses are assaulted by the smell of all sorts of food and music. Scores
of tables with food covering them are throughout the room. A band is on a raised area
and are singing and playing music that is very traditional and obviously of the old ways.
Hundreds of men and women are in here. All stations, it appears that both poor and rich
can be seen in here and are mingling and laughing as equals.

It looks like food and drink are all carefully layed out. It's as if they Oehiton researched
each nation that is sending its representatives. And not only researched the nations but
also the visitors. You name it, it's available. Apparently though, the President rather
enjoys his iced coffees and everyone see iced coffee dispensers on every table. Also, the
lemonades of all kinds are available with varying degrees of sweetness and sourness.
Alcohol flows freely and all are welcome to it.

Once everyone arrives, the President goes to his throne and stands in front of it with his
entire family. The music ends and people go quiet. He looks around smiling. "My friends,
today is a great day for Oehiton. Thanks to these fine people, guests of other nations, we
are no longer an isolated nation. Our ancestors come from another world. On that world,
they were known for their sea traveling as well as their rich culture and willingness to
sack and raid other nations and towns. They were feared wherever they roamed. Then one day,
somehow the ancestors found their way to this land. They continued for some time before
closing their borders and isolating themselves. Such were the ways for centuries. Now...we
have an opportunity to return the world as traders and friends. Thank you folks for coming
here today and honoring us with your presence. Odin teaches us to look to the future and
to consider all actions that we do. Be wise and do what you must but be careful. The day
that I contacted the other nations...I awoke from a dream. In that dream I saw Oehiton
fighting an enemy that threatened this world. The enemy however wasn't clear to me but the
ravens of Odin, Huginn and Muninn were there flying around. They appeared to be attacking
this unseen enemy. This could mean only one thing. That it was time for Oehiton to step
out of its shadows and join the world openly and allow ourselves to help defend it in a
time of need but also to become global. In this room, you will find the heads of every major
business, governmental committee and shall have access to all. They are authorized to make
trade agreements and even military agreements. I myself shall be available and would welcome
friendships with you all. Talk with whomever you wish. We are here at your disposal my
friends. Eat! Drink! Be merry! And know that Oehiton salutes you all and welcomes you with
open arms." and the audience applauds and begins talking again. The President steps off of
his podium and makes himself available to any and all who wish to speak with him.

[Haja-Mishu]

Ambassador Ondeon was of Nova Fortuan birth but officially Haja-Mishuan. He was here to discuss things between Oehition, Haja-Mishu, and even Nova Fortuna. A rare for accurence. I came in a Harbinger aircraft (look at nova Fortuna soldiers factbook for the following) being accompanied by a Academe and a destroyer. Once he reached the ground he noticed that he wasn't a giant compared to them. For Haja-Mishuans are not small by any definition.

[Frezko Islands]

The ambassador Hosrteo Karwail was in the Pimauj Intl. Airport. One of his assistants told him;

"We're ready to go, sir"

Hosrteo entered the jet, and started to fly from Gaudium to Valhalla.

[Dyrdlegastaland]

Lawspeaker Sigtryggr "Star-in-the-Eye" Völsungson arrived in Vallhalla (or "Valhöll" as he insisted on "correctly" pronouncing it) by ship. Being a nation made up of predominantly Norse and Inuit peoples, Dyrdlegasters were proud of their ships and made use of them whenever possible. Sigtryggr was a large, imposing man by most standards, rippling with muscle with a long, blond mane and beard, his hair tucked neatly behind his ears and locked into orderly braids. He wore a simple parka for the weather, with an elegant fur cape marking his Lawspeaker status. His most distinctive feature, and the source of his byname, was his eyes. His left eye was blue, but his right iris, while blue around the edges, was covered by a hazel-colored splotch that many said resembled the Nine-Pointed Star of the Bahá'í Faith. The condition of his right eye rendered it blind, and he himself thought no great deal of it.

He sighed as the ship approached, somewhat disappointed by the gold-and-silver architecture. 'Tis akin more to the horde of greedy Fáfnir, then it is to noble Valhöll, he thought, though strived to keep the thought to himself politely, The True Valhöll told in the Sagas was not made of fain materialistic metals, but of good, hard utilitarian steel. Built from weapons and tools, things a man can use, things of true value. Ah well, no matter, the Lawspeaker adopted a cheerful grin as he sounded a booming laugh, They are our brothers and sisters regardless!!

Sigtryggr was a bit of an unusual man, possibly the only member of the Nine Lawspeakers who was not corrupt. He was also rather unorthodox in his practice of the Bahá’í Faith. He asserted since the Prophet taught Hinduism was correct, and since Ásatrú and Hinduism shared the same roots in the Proto-Indo-European Pantheon, Ásatrú was a true religion of God in the Bahá'í Faith. He referred to God as Bahá and Týr interchangably, believed the Æsir to be angelic figures, and spoke of the Norse Sagas in terms of scripture. He effectively practiced a syncretic faith between his ancestors' Ásatrú and the newer Bahá'í Faith. This viewpoint was not accepted by the other Lawspeakers, of course, but Sigtryggr managed to keep his popularity and enough supporters to become re-elected, and the other Lawspeakers saw fit to use him as a diplomat where practitioners of the Old Faith were concerned.

Behind Star-in-the-Eye came his daughter, Borghildur Sigtryggsdóttir, a young girl, with thick, braided black hair and apparent Inuit ancestry absent from her father. Her blue eyes shown with the same fierce excitement as her father, as she followed along. She harbored ambitions to become a shieldmaiden of old, a goal her father wholeheartedly supported. Behind the Lawspeaker and his daughter came their guard detail, four Dyrdlegaster "Judges", armored in body armor and goggled helms that resembled more modern versions of ancient Norse armor. However, being loomed over by the massive bulk of Sigtryggr, the four guards looked horribly insignificant, poised to guard a man of massive girth and strength who carried himself as if he had no fear, and looked quite capable of defending himself if the need should arise.

At the Feast, Sigtryggr listens intently to the dream of the President. A fascinating vision, and the possibility that the President was a Seer was even more fascinating. Sigtryggr, after making sure his daughter has her fill of food, heads over to the President to talk.

"Wise President Njorn," he inquires, "Thy sooth-dream I doth find of interest. Might I hear more about what thou saw??"

[Saulteaux]

[Docked with the other foreign guest's vessels, Her Majesty's Armored Ship, HMAS Serene.The massive 130 meter yacht, is flying the Saulteaux flag, The 6 men to protect the Queen Regent check their sidearms and radios before motioning the all clear. The Oehition escorts are intimidating and the Royal Guards eye them carefully, ready to draw at a moments notice.]

Dressed in an impressive royal attire. Blue military dress jacket (adorned with a gem beaded royal coat of arms), purple sash and purple skirt, finished with typical stilettos. Queen Beatrice slowly removes her sunglasses and is stunned in awe as her eyes soak up the surrounding landscape. Noting the towering citadel on the horizon.
"Sacrebleu!!!, did we dock in a storybook? why, this is as pretty as a painting. Look at those mountains."
She takes out her smartphone and turns to the armored female and one of the President's children standing nearby.
"I can take photos, right?"
The Elite Valkyrie nods, "You may take photos of anything that is not indicated otherwise".
"Tres Bien!" Beatrice smirks and whispers... "Do you two want to be in my selfie?"
The Elite Valkyrie laughs heartily and nods in agreement.

She turns to make he way to the Citadel, savoring all the commotion and attractions. Blasting the escorts with questions and comments. Pausing every now and then to take photos of the marvelous architecture, and curious Oehitonians brave enough to endure the 'Royal Selfie'. She also allows a friendly citizen to re-style her hair in the traditional Oehitonian braid for the feast. However friendly, she makes certain not to damage her silk uniform outfit. which was made specifically for this occasion. By the time she makes it to the citadel both Oehitonian Guards and her own are exhausted by her wanderlust. She spots Njorn Beowolf and his family greeting the other guests. She introduces herself and after some small conversation she has one of her guards present a necklace to Ásboð Beowolf, displayed in a carved wood and glass display case. The necklace has a charm with a growling lynx and wing spread raven decorated with jewels.

She opens the case... "It's made of Britannia Silver and embedded with two blue sapphires for the eyes of the Lynx and two black star sapphires for the Raven's. Cute isn't it?"

After speaking with several allied constituents and notable Oehitonian officials, she finds her seat and loudly gasps! Perfectly made crêpes are decorated in white and blue powdered sugar. Nearby on lookers laugh as she slowly takes multiple photos of her desert. Very much in a good mood, she continues to mingle with the other guests and officials in the great hall.

[Standing at ease, the Saulteaux Royal Guards take positions around the great hall, making sure not to be in anyone's way. Ever searching for threats.]

[Myraxia]

Ranyr Gronid, Major in the Myraxian Diplomatic Corps, stood at the prow of the Heavy Cruiser MNIF Wrath as it pulled in to dock in Valhalla. His eyebrows were raised at the place - it was certainly unlike anywhere he'd ever been before. He doubted there was another place like it anywhere.
"Sir? "
The Corporal in charge of his guards for the event was stood behind him.
"Yes, Corporal? "
"Time to go, sir. We've docked. "
"Already? I'll be right there. "

---

They were met on the dock by several Oehiton guards- all female, which surprised the mostly male Myraxian team somewhat, although Private Caryx, the lone female, decided it was an excellent idea. Following the guards to the party, they were amazed by the sights around them - quite unlike anything you might find in Myraxia.
Upon reaching the hall, the guards spread out, taking up positions amongst the watchful looking guards in Saulteaux livery. Ranyr was left wondering slightly what to do with himself.

[Oehiton]

Ambassador Ondeon was of Nova Fortuan birth but officially Haja-Mishuan. He was here to discuss things between Oehition, Haja-Mishu, and even Nova Fortuna. A rare for accurence. I came in a Harbinger aircraft (look at nova Fortuna soldiers factbook for the following) being accompanied by a Academe and a destroyer. Once he reached the ground he noticed that he wasn't a giant compared to them. For Haja-Mishuans are not small by any definition.

The Ambassador is met by the Presidents daughter BERGLJÓT. Standing at 2.5 meters and built like a runner, the curly blond hair and blue eyed woman smiles as Ambassador Ondeon disembarks his aircraft. The stunning Nordic woman is a vision of deadly beauty being the Valkyrie General. When the Ambassador and his group nears her and the others "Greetings Mr. Ambassador and welcome to Valhalla. May your visit be one of enjoyment. I'm General BERGLJÓT, one of the Presidents daughters and General of the Valkyrie." and she gives the typical Oehidon salute.

[Oehiton]

Lawspeaker Sigtryggr "Star-in-the-Eye" Völsungson arrived in Vallhalla (or "Valhöll" as he insisted on "correctly" pronouncing it) by ship.

"Wise President Njorn," he inquires, "Thy sooth-dream I doth find of interest. Might I hear more about what thou saw??"

One thing Sigtryggr would notice when he disembarked was that the gold & silver is not truly gold or silver. It appears to be more closely related to either steel or titanium. The metal seems to simply be colored differently than most would be.

Sigtryggr and his daughter and guards are met by an unusually taller women. Nearly 3.5 meters tall and built like barbarian of old, HJÖRDIS, eldest daughter of the President stands there in her blue and white dress. Giant sword on her back however shows she is more inclined for swordsmanship than diplomacy. The Sif General stands there with her golden hair pulled back and done in traditional fashion. Behind her are four Sif guards as well wielding shields and spears. As the Lawgiver and his group nears "On behalf of my father the President, I HJÖRDIS, General of the Sif welcome you to Valhöll as friends. May your visit be one of enjoyment and prosperity." and she gives the typical Oehidon salute which resembles the common salute to Thor and Odin and to Valhöll.

At the citadel and speaking with President Njorn "Of course Master Sigtryggr. In the dream was a large landscape with mountains in the background and forests all around. The open field, the size of a city easily was drenched in blood. I could clearly see Oehiton soldiers fighting a blurry enemy. The enemy's blur was dark and seemed more alien that like one of us." and he points to human looking people "I didn't know who they were but just knew that they were enemies of the S.C. Also, I could see both Huginn and Munin flying around. They seemed almost hateful of this enemy. I rode upon one of our robotic steeds. Axe in hand cutting enemies down. My face injured, missing an eye and ear. Our numbers were less than that of the enemies but we were fighting in such glory that the ancestors would be proud. Then I awoke. A severe pain in my left side. Only to discover that I had somehow developed an open wound. It was as if someone stabbed me with a great sword. And the thing is..in the dream I had a similar wound.I didn't feel fear. Rather...I felt excited and charged." he looks to the Lawgiver and moves his head as if to say what do you think?

She opens the case... "It's made of Britannia Silver and embedded with two blue sapphires for the eyes of the Lynx and two black star sapphires for the Raven's. Cute isn't it?"

After speaking with several allied constituents and notable Oehitonian officials, she finds her seat and loudly gasps! Perfectly made crêpes are decorated in white and blue powdered sugar. Nearby on lookers laugh as she slowly takes multiple photos of her desert. Very much in a good mood, she continues to mingle with the other guests and officials in the great hall.

[Standing at ease, the Saulteaux Royal Guards take positions around the great hall, making sure not to be in anyone's way. Ever searching for threats.]

As the Queen Regent disembarks, she sees waiting for her SIGFRÍÐR, the Presidents 16 year old daughter. Standing just over 2 meters in height and with a dancers body, she wears a very regal blue and white dress. On her hip is a giant rapier rather than the traditional broadswords and axes that so many wear. Her hair is done in a very Saulteaux fashion. Her pale blond hair is almost white and her ice blue eyes large and crystal clear watch as everyone approaches. Behind her are six Valkyrie guards and a dozen Sif guards. "Greetings Queen Regent. I am SIGFRÍÐR, daughter of the President and keeper of the Tower of Light. I welcome you to Valhalla and hope your visit will be one of great enjoyment." she says in the Saulteaux tongue. Only a slight accent, it's almost as if she's been learning the language for a few years.

As everyone makes their way to the citadel, the Queen Regent sees that Oehiton people enjoy their jewelry. There are many jewelry and metal working shops. The guards though not overly social normally will respond with great enthusiasm and friendliness when addressed.

At the citadel, Ásboð Beowolf is astonished with the beauty of the gift. Her eyes light up and then looks to Njorn and smiles "See, I told you she would bring something." Njorn smiles and nods "You are right. And that is why..." he nods to a guard who in turn holds out an ash box with a glass top. Within it is a diamond and platinum necklace with around 30-5 carrot diamonds and triple that number in 3 carrot diamonds. There are matching earrings and bracelets. "The finest diamonds and platinum within Oehiton for such an honored guest" says Njorn. "You honor us with your presence Queen Regent. My daughter says you enjoyed your approach of the citadel. You and your guards are welcome to stay as long as you wish."

[Oehiton]

Ranyr Gronid, Major in the Myraxian Diplomatic Corps, stood at the prow of the Heavy Cruiser MNIF Wrath as it pulled in to dock in Valhalla. His eyebrows were raised at the place - it was certainly unlike anywhere he'd ever been before. He doubted there was another place like it anywhere.
"Sir? "
The Corporal in charge of his guards for the event was stood behind him.
"Yes, Corporal? "
"Time to go, sir. We've docked. "
"Already? I'll be right there. "

They were met on the dock by several Oehiton guards- all female, which surprised the mostly male Myraxian team somewhat, although Private Caryx, the lone female, decided it was an excellent idea. Following the guards to the party, they were amazed by the sights around them - quite unlike anything you might find in Myraxia.
Upon reaching the hall, the guards spread out, taking up positions amongst the watchful looking guards in Saulteaux livery. Ranyr was left wondering slightly what to do with himself.

When Major Ranyr Gronid and his people disembark, they are greeted by Tyrsson Beowolf. Eldest son of the President and General of the Berserk Army. Tyrsson dwarfs the average Oehiton by being almost 4 meters in height. His long, curly auburn hair pulled back into 2 long shorter braids and a single longer braid. His emerald green eyes pierce the very heart of a man. And he is missing his right hand from just below the elbow. On his back is a serrated greatsword. Behind him, a dozen Valkyries and half a dozen Sif. "Greetings Major Ranyr Gronid. I'm Tyrsson Beowolf, son of the President and general of the Berserk Army. I welcome you to Valhalla. May you and your people enjoy the stay here. I hope it is one of great pleasantries and prosperity." he then gives the Oehiton salute.

At the citadel, Ranyr will be approached by somewhat shorter woman dressed in simpler clothing and jewelry. Standing next to him as if observing the party "So Myraxian, what do you think of Oehiton hospitality? You seem...at a loss of what to do here."

[Haja-Mishu]

Of course general, as he salutes back, This is definitely a change from Haja-Mishu. The hustle and bustle of hundreds of millions of people going about their business in gleaming skyscrapers. Shall we go to the Citadel perhaps?

Smiling, BERGLJÓT says "Of course." and she turns to lead everyone to armored limousines. "Sorry there isn't more of a turn out. It appears the dignatariers are appearing not just by plane but some by ship...it wouldn't surprise me if one or more actually drive here." and she smiles again. The woman definitely seems to enjoy smiling. Once everyone's in the limousines, they drive off to the citadel, passing many store fronts and citizens as they drive there. BERGLJÓT sits there motionless except for her breathing and when she speaks.

[Haja-Mishu]

This city reminds me of our homeland, but with less slaves and more long hairof course it then sank into the depths of the ocean but we needed a fresh start.
