Agenda:

1 - The Matis kitins study group
2 - Water Road / beer road
3 - The city's banners
4 - Sciences: Experiments on the Flyners
5 - Guardians of Shadows
6 - The Tryker Fair
7 - Additional item raised by Chanchey: the additional city guards that were sent to fight the marauders.

1 - The Matis kitins study group
Alco gave a belated thanks for the Tryker nets made by our artisans in the Winds of Muse and informed us that the college will be made up of five matis, two trykers, two zorais and one ranger consultant - the duties will involve controlling the various study projects that will be proposed, it will not be involved in looking after the kitin in captivity. Chanchey volunteered Zorroargh but he is already our Ranger consultant. It was agreed to advertise this development opportunity to our citizens and ask them to offer their services, in particular to keep an eye on the Matis - though this was not explicitly said. Volunteers to be identified before the next assemblies.

2 - Water Road / beer road
This is to renew our commercial links with the Fyros. Nair Eloan stated that we used to provide Fyros with water and in return the Fyros provided us with protection. It is hoped that an exchange of beers will take place together with the gift of our water to the Fyros nation. This is another development opportunity and our local citizens will be asked to volunteer - again, names are needed before the next assemblies.

3 - The city's banners
Each city is asked to offer designs for their own Banners. Suggestions to be given at the respective next assemblies. Maximuss was heard to mumble that pink is his favourite colour but Avendale are suggesting the Tryker symbol with red background, Chanchey suggested each city has the Tryker symbol with its local colour as background - yellow for Windermere and green for Crystabell. The banner for Fairhaven should include suggestions from all citizens. These must be offered by December - a drawing is sufficient (but a description might be enough). At a future date banners will not only fly at the entrances of our cities but will be available for our apartments and for us to carry (protest marches with banners makes a good statement?)

4 - Sciences: Experiments on the Flyners
Zorroargh had left so this could not be advanced further but he has had previous experience here and here is a vision of his experience, there is a picture here to remind citizens of what they look like - it is thought that these might be used as a way of travelling on the wind, possibly a tryker holds onto the body of the flyner ... runs ... and then floats into the sky, Trykers may have to undergo a medical before taking part

5 - Guardians of Shadows
Concern had been expressed about the guild having marauders as its members. Binarabli stated that the guild had always beleived Elias Tryton to be honourable and as such had sympathy for the homins who were left behind at the Great Swarming, , some of whom chose to stay and fight the kitin - in the name of homins everywhere. The guild has never met such horrific marauders as Nizyros, but only shy marauders who still see the kitin as the biggest threat to our lands. The maruaders in the guild are stateless and have agreed to respect the laws of the land, Tryker Law. They have a "wild" side to their nature and prefer independence - this has led some of them to fight in outpost battles, and some to engage in fighting in faraway lands. Each has a heart of gold - are kind and helpful to others and are valued members of the guild. The guild also has members who are rangers and who are neutral.

After some discussion the Governor Nair-Ailan Mac Kean stated: It's evident that, depending on our dialect, we have a different view of what a marauder is. For some, "marauders" is the name given to all the homins exiled after a Swarm, it's almost the name of a 5th people, made, like all peoples, of good and bad homins. For others, "Marauders" is the name given to the faction made of bad homins, who attack all of hominkind and hate religions. In this case, when a homin follows the marauder rite, it is the sign that he swears allegiance to this faction. It's then a choice. These are these different meanings of the same words which can create tensions.
The matter is seen as resolved for the time being.

6 - The Tryker Fair
Binarabi has had no expressions of interest from any guilds for a booth and hopes that booths can be allocated on the day. Padger of the Beachcombers guild has beem too busy to reply but ti is hoped that he will confirm that he is able to bring and sell fireworks to the visitors. Unfortunatly Binarabi had lost the notes with the date of the fair (found later) and is provisionally Floris 25th 1st Ac 2581 *6th December, 2014* if this is acceptable to all, please confirm during the next assemblies)

7 - The additional city guards that were sent to fight the marauders.
Chanchey expressed concern over the possible waste of federal dappers for the paying of the Federation Guards. Avendale needed them at their last local assembly but Windermere is a sleepy town - and the Guards appear there (and in Crystabell) when placed on Red Alert. He requested that guards do not appear at all locations but only at the location needed in future. Nair-Ailan Mac Kean stated that the Federation Guards would be withdrawn from Windermere, but would be on stand-by if called for. Binarabi said she would confirm the need, or not, at Crystabelle at their next local meeting and let the Governor know the decision


Next meetings are local ones - please place on your agendas:

2    Identify citizens who are interested in taking part in

• i The Kitin College
• ii The water/beer road
• iii The Fyner (hair-raising) experiments

3    Identify which guilds are taking part in the Tryker Fair and what they will be offering to craft

Hello fellow citizens and friends!

Is everything ok with the Vice Governor and the Kard'ali? It has been a Jena year since the last assembly. Federal and local assemblies are usually scheduled in the summer and winter of each cycle (every 9 days IRL), we could probably get by with one each cycle (every 18 days IRL) but with no meeting scheduled it seems as if our government is AWOL.

Hello Trykers,

I have to inform you Fateciy was in charge of security for our Queen, he did a great job and he keep our Queen safe.

Placio writes a notice and posts it in all Tryker cities and embassies. The notice reads:

Placio receives many frantic calls of concern and posts the following correction:

In the likely event that Fairmarket Fork Bar runs out of beer, the meeting will move to Eastmarket Bar. If our thirst is still not quenched there are still at least 3 bars remaining to empty!

Placio composes a letter to the Governor and members of the Federal Assembly:
Satisfied with his document, Placio sends a copy by izam to Ailan Mac'Kean and posts another copy at Frogmore Place. Then, he realizes that no Taliar will see it there, so he posts additional copies at the stables of each city in the Federation.
