Des-Accor, Ecrithur, Forgent, Bulwar, Elblet, Khuln Darihm, Khuln Kalderak and Khuln Garuhm all voted aye on both proposals.
Gundarth voted aye on the Ríoch's, and waited for him to vote first on the Postmaster's.
After conferring, Margunkyn and Themaran voted nay on the first proposal, and aye on the second. They believed their royal claims to the land should extend downwards indefinitely, and other Alliance nations should need to - as a bare minimum - seek permission before acquiring land from them to colonize beneath them.
Rykarth likewise voted aye on the second proposal, but took a moment to speak on the first. "I am, perhaps, a little more familiar with the deep caves than most people here," he said. "Thorjron has been delving into the depths as of late in search of magma to power our machines. My city's efforts are small-scale proof that the depths can be tamed. But I fear that the way you propose will result in hasty land-grabs, with countries seeking to lay claim to as many resource veins down there as possible. A scramble for the deep caves will lead to loss of life, and potentially threaten the safety of your above-ground homes through overextension. I abstain. I just ask, if you must descend, that you all exercise extreme caution."
