Avalon

Morgan teleports back to her palace, having concluded her investigation of the recent accident. Arriving in her chambers she spends a few moments looking over her appearance before concluding that it is satisfactory, before walking to the throne room. Sure she could have just teleported there but she loved making a big entrance. As she enters her throne room she activates the spells she has on the doorway. Smoke billows from the doorway as the light seems to be sucked out of the room, leaving only a couple of torches on either side of the door remaining lit. As the doors open a herald says All kneel before the great and powerful queen Morgan Le Fey, ruler of the Isles and savior of Avalon. The court is well accustomed to her flair for the dramatic and bow, trying to hid their disinterest. After all she hasn't changed up her "dramatic entrance" in nearly 50 years.

After the drama of Morgan's entrance dies down Morgan sits on her throne and addresses the gathered nobles before her. We have remained separate from the rest of the world for a long time however recent raids by the vikings have caused problems large enough that this state of affairs cannot remain any longer. With this some surprised talking began to spring up amongst the nobles of the country. Holding up her hand for silence Morgan continues. Circumstances have changed and as such we must adapt. As such our policy of isolation has come to an end. Come tomorrow our best diplomats will be sent to meet with nearby nations, in hopes that we can ally to allay the threat of the viking raid along our territory. As she proclaims this the nobles start talking, which turns to yelling as they realize that the entire political situation is about to be overturned. Flares of magic can be seen throughout the crowd - not unexpected given that magic was a prerequisite for being nobility - which causes the guards to look around trying to spot any aggressive actions. However the nobility is to used to Morgan's rule and like always eventually comes to accept her conclusion.

After the session ended Morgan went into a back office to talk to her researchers about the recent problems they had been having. After a short talk she decided a certain pub in Ireland had enough magic disturbance to merit her personal attention. She had heard vague whispers of a powerful mage called Capone that was holed up there, and was very interested in meeting with him.

A man cloaked in black appears in front of the palace, bearing a message from Avalon. It is unclear how he got there, having simply appeared from thin air. When a representative appears to hear him he says:

Hello to Gia's Chosen, I come bearing greetings from the great and powerful Morgan Le Fey, Ruler of the nation of Avalon. She hopes to promote co-operation between our two nations. With the rise of the vikings and the general chaos of Europe we feel that it would be a good idea to befriend the only other stable faction in the region. What would you say to establishing a defensive alliance with our nation, in order to protect against the vikings?

The vikings have recently become enough of a problem for us to take notice of. Should we be willing to engage them in a military fashion could we count on any of you to commit military resources to the cause?
