The council was held at a humble, by Tiranógian standards, palatial estate courteously loaned by the local lord for the meeting as the appropriate buildings in the capital were still being rebuilt and this city didn't have a hole to the underworld beneath it, with easy access to the sea for the representatives.
Geród stood to address the gathered assembly.
"Thank you all for coming on such short notice, doubtless most of you know already why I invoked the newly formulate article powers for the sake of this emergency meeting. For those who have yet to hear word I have prepared copies of the missive we received from the High Elves. In short, one of their immortal members has hd their property stolen and they request the artefacts that were in their possession be returned to the the Elves, in return for a reward. They were... strident about some aspects of how we use this reward."
"The reason this concerns Alliance security was that the elf in question was supposedly taken by an alliance member state, more inferred by the letter than directly stated, and that failure to co-operate with returning the artefacts or breaking their terms of how we supposedly use the reward would result in unspecified consequences for the alliance as a whole. Had this been virtually any other nation to make such demands this council would hardly need to be so swiftly called but I trust you all understand the problems this unique situation puts us in."
