Woodhaven

Simon Westerby stood on the balcony looking out over the city as he pondered what his next step was going to be. He had been rejected by the council to be governor of the Emali province. He would not accept that. The council overrode his right as ruler and he would not stand for it. He called for several rangers to go out into town and tell the people there would be a town meeting in the city square the day after tomorrow and everyone was expected be there. He dispatched them right away and they left promptly. Simon left the balcony and went back to his study in the city center building. The building is where the governor of Emali stayed and governed the province.
Simon knew he had several things to do. He was mad at the council for overriding his right to be ruler and something needed to be done about it. But what, he thought, what could be done? I need to get most of the people on my side first. The speech in two days will be written for that purpose.
A ranger by the name of Timons came into the room to talk to Simon. “Timons, you are my right hand man correct? I can trust you with anything correct?” Timons nodded and said “Yes, sir!”
“I am going to write a speech and give it at the town meeting in a few days. I want you to find Jorde and have him come here. I want to talk to him about doing a few things. I am going to have him take care of the counsel, and get them to say publicly that I am the governor of Emali. I want you by my side. There could be big rewards in it for you if you stick by me. I trust very few people, but I trust you. Thank you, that will be all.” Simon sat down to write his speech, when he was done, he got up and walked back and forth thinking about the speech making certain modifications to it here and there. Simon sat down. A plan is coming together, I think I can make it work.
