NOTES: You should definitely reply to this. Don't worry about why. Threadjacking welcome/encouraged.

Greetings Riftwatch! This is Senior Enchanter Black speaking—the Seneschal.

[This particular cheerful intonation may strike fear into the hearts of certain members of the company. Namely, those who would prefer not be talked at for ten minutes without interruption, or those who might flinch at the prospect that at any moment their wages might be trimmed further in order to set aside a reserve fund for Refugee Orphans Or Whatever.

But today, when Cassius says,] I'll be brief, [he means it.

Which is definitely not ominous in the slightest.]

I'm collecting information about which nations and known institutions we as an organization know best. If you would be so kind as to reply to this listing the peoples, places, and various consortiums big or small for which you feel the most affinity or understand the intricacies of, that would be of great help.

There's no need to go into any detail if you don't feel inclined. A very general list will do just fine.

I don't see why not.

I'm preparing for our upcoming season of visitors. Summer, you know—everyone who's anyone who isn't currently waving a sword around will want to make their arrangements for the coming campaigning months, and I would like to see that we entertain the right guests in the right fashion, and that we all agree on who those people are and what that fashion is.

Not that I don't trust my good taste, but—

[But he's a benevolent overlord. You're all welcome.]

[illithidnapped]

Always better to have such exceptional taste confirmed. Oh yes, I understand completely.

[Which is to say Astarion is hardly satisfied with that answer, but...

Well.

Few people in Riftwatch are as fun as their benevolent overlord; he'll wait to see how this turns out.]
