| With the coming of spring and a few good harvests, and now the arrival of summer, the Senator-Dukes of Terran are taking the the ship and horse and going out abroad. Senator Vigilans of the Chateau is venturing northwards on a diplomatic mission, through Caerwyn, up into the arc of the northern realms of Toprak, including Northnastrond, the Dalian Expanse, and the Mimer Peninsula. His honorable mission is empowered with the formal ambassadorial powers of Terran, and is expected to raise the profile of Terran and Occidens throughout those lands, as well as provide for new treaties with our northern neighbors in Caerwyn and elsewhere.
I have taken a different path, and set out to the east. Readers of The Moot will be glad to hear that the Véinsørmoot has begun to see newfound expansion. My travels through D'Hara were productive, and the good Duke Marche Telrunya has stated an intention to expand the Véinsørmoot to Paisly. Beyond that, I have had ample opportunities to join numerous guilds, which I hope to bring home to Terran and expand, strengthening Terran's ties with D'Hara, Caerwyn, and Pian en Luries. In the Lurian lands, I have been welcomed into the Keepers of Lore, a body whose mission I firmly agree with, and hope to form ties with through the Véinsørmoot. Beyond that, my destination lies northwards, in Aquilegia, and in the Dwilight University campus of Ashrak. My own mission is less diplomatically oriented than that of my colleague Senator Vigilans, and focusing more on goodwill and cultural ties.
We hope that these missions, the revitalizion of the Véinsørmoot, and Terran's increasing presence abroad, as well as the growth of new colonies in the Far West, will raise the profile and continental recognition of the vital cultural and political developments and contributions of Occidens and the Occidental peoples. |
