Greetings to the Royal Guard! beautiful

It's been several days since I have seen anyone, after all I was trapped on Lenmir Antinmolas due to an elaborate trapped set by Judge Julius Dryden.

I called forth the Royal Guard soon as I could, to reward those that reported some important news to the BNN Informant, who was able to get the word out on a few quest.

The first mission for the Royal Guard was to expose the plans of Judge Juliuos Drydne, which had three parts. Railod was the first to discover the plans, and gave credit to Xelia the Drow, reaper, and Aristylla. I brought them forward, and then adressed the crowd for there were also some that I heard followed Judge Julius Dryden!

Partisans of Chaos were also told to expose my three part plan, and I regret to say that they were discovered by Lucian, who gave additional credit to Lucian : Honey Ryder, Grag the Pirate, Mordecious, Rune, and Lola. Unfortunately, Honey Ryder and Grag were now in the audience tonight. Rune himself was running late, and was quite worried when he found himself on the throne before me!

Lastly, I informed the crowd that the first person to follow my path and solve the password to the cannon in Mistas, and found my journal at Lenmir Antinmolas was JT. However, he was not in the crowd.

Since I had everyone on stage that were verified by the BNN Informant as the ones that solved the quest first, I presented them with Wanted Posters, so they will know exactly what who is responsible for all of our problems as of late :

I understand many citizens worked very hard to solve the quest, but not everyone could be first. Therefore, I asked the public roughly ten questions, and those that answered correctly first got a pair of Royal Boots, assuming they already didn't have a pair or won a wanted poster tonight.

Now, I actually expected Julius Dryden to show up tonight, but word got passed to me during the event why he hasn't been seen of late. It seems all the town invasions and the kidnapping were all a prelude to his master plan - Dryden wants his followers to have their own Island! He has started the move out of Castle Blackthorne, and already established some "guards" in Nujel'm, Red Solen. In addition to the Solen, blackthorns machines have been spotted on the Island, and thanks to the inadequate donations of logs and boards from his followers, no decent barriers have been finished on the island to keep the machines along the shores.

I am happy to say that I have set my plan in motion, and Crystals are now in place in Cove, Britain, and Magencia, and I estimate all of Dryden's forces will be finished within a week! However, it seems the Royal Guard has a new job.

The Paladins of Trinsic have sent all they can to Skara Brae for protection, and have used almost all their resources. They have informed me they need ingots to create more armor and weapons, and as we give it to them they can start moving into Nujel'm. I am told roughly 60,000 ingots are needed for each regiment sent.

However, I also hear Dryden is collecting ingots to expand his machine army! For every 100,000 ingots (Keep in mind his plans were exposed first, so he suffers a setback as most of the suppliers in the land have had intervention from the Royal Court), another Machine station will be set up on the Island!

I am afraid it's all come down to this, a power struggle for the island that is completely dependant on the Royal Guard and the Partisans of Chaos. Some time next week, who so ever holds the largest amount of forces of Nujel'm will dictate who gets to control it for quite some time. This includes Trammel, and Felucca Nujle'm!

I urged everyone after tonight to start donating ingots for the cause, and then spent the rest of the night handing out Royal Sashes to improve moral.

I hope everyone can find time to pitch in their help, for the fate of Nujel'm is clearly unforeseen.
