[Aynia]

Aynia nods and smiles at each new arrival, with a quiet "Welcome, please make yourselves comfortable.", but she lets her guests speak among themselves as she waits for more representatives. But she cannot wait forever. She hears talk of evacuations and starts to speak up when the newest representative arrives and puts in his part. She stands up from her chair and walks to the middle of the room, making three loud claps with her hands and clearing her throat. 

"Thank you everyone, for joining me, and thank you for your input so far. I do believe it's time to get down to business. I do not know this Red Knight, but I know the realm from which he comes and I know what he could be bringing. Chaosium is a fearsome place. Nothing rests, nothing has peace. Chaos truly reigns there, and after the death of the Chaolich and the portal was closed, who only knows what took place there for the Red Knight to rise to power." She takes a deep breath.

"The only evacuations should be the young and infirm from the immediate threat areas. Other than that we need every able bodied soul to join this fight, and I promise you, we must fight. Offense as soon as possible will be our greatest weapon." She walks over to the map and pushes pawns south of The Rovics and Saraven, then pushes a few ship pawns west of Aimsir off the coast. 

"North seems to be their preference, as they'll want to make their way to the capital. We need to cut them off and push them back. The more they gain the more we lose." She looks up to each attendee. "And they have a lot to gain, and we have a lot to lose. I say we concentrate our armies at the front lines, and attack in shifts with fresh soldiers, because they aren't going to rest for us. This must be a ceaseless battle. What say you all?" She looks around again and falls silent.
