Very well, the Council will begin now.

Aragost looks over the collective Lords of Gondor. He begins to speak from his throne.

"Welcome, my lords. I know your journey was long, and I am glad that you have come, for we have several matters of urgency to speak of. First of all, I wish to establish a royal edict: taxes from the peasantry will triple, effective immidiately. This coin will be used to re-establish the supremacy of our military forces, for war already marches on our lands to the East. Mercantile taxes..." He says, giving a nod to the Lord of Pelargir. "Will remain the same."

"Word has come to me from my scouts in the East that a Rhunic Horde is crossing the Brown Lands. I am mobilizing forces to counter this threat. We will vanquish the barbarian hordes and send them fleeing back to the East."
