Welcome my Ster… my fellow Sternritter.
Baal chuckled lightly from atop his seat in the court - but it was unclear as to whether he meant that as a joke or not. Due to the nature of the Emperor, and indeed that of Sternritter ‘A’, he often chaired the Vandenreich court meetings. And this was one of said meetings. All the Sternritter had received missives that morning, welcoming them to attend the court that was in session that afternoon. Here, the discussions of Vandenreich military strategy took place. Inside one of the most vaunted halls of the Silbern - second only to the throne room itself. And this court was now overflowing with power, the power of those who His Majesty had blessed.
”Please, seat yourselves comfortably. And let us begin.”
Baal cleared his throat - more for dramatic effect than out of necessity. The court would come to silence. While he appeared affable, there were few who dared cross Sternritter ‘B’.
”Allow me to update you on the current situation… There has been a… ‘worrying’ rise in the number of Hollows encroaching the World of the Living lately. But these attacks have been focussed, directed - which is perhaps more concerning than their scale. It seems someone or some group is making a concerted effort to encroach on the World of the Living - our world - and tip the balance of power. The particular cases should be in the file I sent you this morning… If any of you feels they warrant further investigation, please - be my guest, take the time and resources necessary to find the root of this…
But there is something perhaps more pressing I would like to discuss. I am concerned that your faith may be wavering. I do not sense the same conviction from this court as I once did before the War. Let me remind you, the Emperor is biding his time - building to full strength. This is not a time to rest on your laurels. You must prepare for his rebirth. Do not let yourself be caught unawares. Prepare yourselves, my friends…
But that’s all I have to say. Now, we shall move to each of your reports. Keep them reasonably short, please. I would rather not be here all day.”
Now that Baal has delivered his report, all Sternritter are welcome to report to him using the following template. You will list your Name and Rank, a list of links to threads that you have completed recently, and write up a short report about their impact on the Vandenreich and the world. Then, you will offer up suggestions for courses of action. Whether it be investigation, assassination, whatever your character desires to do about the world events that threaten Vandenreich’s prosperity. Following 1 week of real time, Baal will follow up with these suggestions, approving or denying them. If approved, they will be given a set Ryo reward for completing them. If they are denied, a follow up report may be made or the actions can be taken anyways, with potential consequences. Especially consequences for failures. The story is in your hands.
