[Aynia]

Aynia gave a customary bow and stood up straight. "I wish to consult the Oracle, if I may. I'd like to know the depth of it's knowledge on current matters, and get it's insight into our plans we've set in motion." She walked to a table and unfurled a map, setting a silver candlestick on each corner in an attempt to hold it down. "If I may go over what we've accomplished so far?" She gave a brief overview of the committed holdfasts, who was in the process of moving troops, where troops were and were to be stationed and what orders had been given. She pointed throughout her speech to various places on the map. A garrison here, a fleet of ships there, best avenues of travel and paths to take when transporting goods and various beings.

"It's been over eight days since the last holdfast representative sent word back. I expect the closest holdfasts will have troop movement as we speak, with more and more following afterward. I do not want to be hasty, but we may be about to, as you could put it, 'nip it in the bud'." She finished talking and clasped her hands together, waiting for one of the representatives to speak.
