As some of you are aware, there was a fire in Caer Glaem's library. An intruder was in the buidling.
As it stands, we as shardholders are the strongest thing our court has to defend itself. If the shardholders of the other court come to us the footsoldiers will be cut down all too easily -- a shardholder is worth 30 or so of the other soldiers.
If we are to defend Caer Glaem therefore we must help in not just leaving her to pursue alliances and fight enemies, but by the stationing of guards. We must keep track of who enters and leaves our city, be vigilant against agents of Morla scouting us out or attacks against us. As you may already be aware myself and Sir Grimm are holding training all through this month for anyone who wishes to learn, but this will require people good at keeping records too.
If anyone is interested in this effort please contact myself or Lady Gwenllian. Thank you for your time.

[He lets out a frustrated sigh.]
Well, I've done a fair bit of record keeping in my time, and I'm thinking that I'll be spending some time in Caer Glaem while I get acclimated... so for now, perhaps I could aid on that front.
[voice]
Well. Lancelot is reasonably good at acting, he's top of the class on innocent face. Mostly. He's better at keeping other people's secrets than his own. It's a very selective ability to lie. On top of that? Well, Caer Glaem needs as much help as it can get. ]
The damage itself was minimal, but the fact that they were within out city so easily is a real problem that must be addressed. Any help with keeping record would be welcome. As it stands there are none, so the starting point is rather literally a blank canvas. We need to make sure we keep details of who comes and goes as best we can, and hopefully once we have a good amount of information we should only need to reference it to allow people to pass.
[voice]
Precisely. It would be one thing if it was something that happened on neutral ground, but to have it happen in what's effectively our base of operations... that doesn't bode well whatsoever. Has something like this happened in the past, or is this the first instance?
Of course, I'd imagine record keeping wouldn't keep out every threat, as I'm sure there are clever sorts who would find out ways to bypass it. But it certainly can't hurt, either.
[voice]
[ Hmmm. ]
You are right that it will not keep out every threat. I know some magic users here who would simply move past our walls without so much as hesitating. We must start somewhere, however, and if it keeps out a single person it will have been of benefit. Other things can be done as well, there is no reason to keep only one plan.

[ He's seen them range from Harmless to Merlin. ]
Would you be willing to work with others on this, perhaps? I have had a few volunteers...
[voice]
And most certainly. I'd love to, actually, particularly if I'd be working with those who'd be using magical means.
