Meeting Minutes – 2/8/2001

Fashanos, Day 8, in the Year 5101

[House Phoenix, Library]
The library of the House is a largish room, with the walls completely hidden by bookcases. A wide selection of reading material can be seen from a cursory glance at the shelves. Treatises on science and history stand next to ancient volumes on forest lore and magic. One rather extensive section seems devoted to arms and armor and the many subjects dealing with the arts of war. Locked glass-fronted cabinets hold rare tomes and fragile scrolls and even the odd clay tablet. You also see a spiral staircase, a carved red sandstone pedestal with an ancient volume on it, a trash barrel and a plain wooden table with a gold-trimmed modwir plaque on it.
Also in the room: Germinal, Lord Jaialias, Goeffro, Karinya, Lord Dorcelott, Ellgore, Gorde, Lord Cynric, Lady Heathyranne, Matti, Lord Shirkon, Journeyman Nepanth, Lady Nureau, Hargo, Cryheart, Midgar, Rosamor, Monax, Yzan, Marinzol, Washee

For those unfamiliar with our group, or for those newly initiated, the Protectors of the Citadel is a cadre of House Phoenix members who's sole purpose is to defend our House, and our Home here in the Landing. During our excursions, we strive to exemplify the code of honor and decency upon which our noble House is founded. Many times during our trainings, we are remarked upon by passersby as showing excellent teamwork and morality. Such a thing occurred during our most recent training, in fact. It is by deeds that we spread what we here assembled already know - those precepts which aid us in turning back Chaos and the Unlife. Now, I'd like to turn the remainder of the Protectors report over to Captain Shirkon, as he has some very important news regarding the tactical situation within Icemule Trace."
