They were all milling about and chatting, though there was a tension in the air as people waited for the swordlord to appear. Most of the people seemed to be in groups already, their partners in arms. However, there were a few unaligned people about it seemed, one was in a heavy green cloak standing on the edge of the crowd, idly listening to everyone else. Not so different than Kumiko in that regard.<br/><br/>The swordlord will enter the room, people making way for the woman . As she gets up to a dais where a podium stands, she surveys the room and nods to herself. "Greetings, everyone! I am Swordlord Jamandi Aldori. Welcome to my mansion. Now, to the point. South of here, just beyond Brevoy's Border, lies a region known as the Stolen Lands. This is disputed territory, and while it's been long claimed by neighboring states, it has never been truly tamed. I won't bore you with the legal technicalities. Suffice to say that anyone with enough courage and power to seize the Stolen Lands and names themselves barons or baroness, claiming dominion, none of the neighboring states will be able to challenge."<br/>She looks around the room, her face serene. There are very interested looks being shot at her as people realize that nobility is very much within their grasp. She would then continue.<br/>"Of course Restov would be first to recognize the legitimacy of  this new state, as well as the title of its noble founder." She nods a little as people begin to murmur amongst themselves. There was always a catch to these sort of situations, and of course, the many competitors in the room. "Unfortunately, one serious obstacle stands between you and this title. A gang of bandits hold sway in the Stolen Lands. Their chief, who they call the Stag Lord, considers himself the rightful owner of these lands, and no one has yet been able to challenge his power. Bring me his head, and you'll be able to return as their legal ruler. An open forum is now open for questions."
