Quotes
"I do not look forward to this meeting. Both issues of the day are ugly indeed. The fate of two tribes in one hand, and a delicate land treaty in another. No one will walk away happy from this. On days like today, I wish I wasn't the Collective's greatest historian. Oh what I wouldn't give to curl up in the archives and never come out. Come to think of it, the delegation from Sirocco is running late. They were the ones who were desperate to come to an agreement about settling in the Hallowed Marsh, so I'm shocked they've not arrived. And then there's Damian Lockwell's absence. I would be shocked if he was boycotting the meeting...that would only prevent him from protecting the interests of his own region."
