Lord Nial opened the meeting by asking everyone to welcome and thank Duke Cariodac, first King of the Midrealm, for gracing us with his presence this evening. Cariodac piped up that he hoped all the fighters of modest stature would join him at Pennsice War this year for the Dwarves verses Giants battle.
