PLANNING THREAD

The pillars of the world are gathered. The world sits at a standstill, chaotic and true. Members of democracies, authority, and monarchies arrive at Villamor Palace, the seat of the Egelian Monarchy. Several vehicles arrive at the main entrance of the palace. Royal Guards, security details--all there to take part in the largest gathering of nations in centuries. The entrance to the palace is cold, with only the warmth of the distant chandeliers providing immediate relief. Echoes in the deep as the clasp of shoes and small conversation spread to the marbled walls of the palace. 

A large conference room, detailed with the finest gold and most accessible furniture, becomes the current heart of Terra. The mood is hopeful for some, optimistic for few, and tense for most. Clashing ambitions, power, and ideas gather in the room. A lingering of the unknown fills the room. Who will emerge as a leader? Who is here for the art of the deal? Who is here for the purpose of solely listening? As dignitaries find their seats, out of a side door emerges the host.

Romulo I, King of Egelion

My most honorable and distinguisghed guests,
It is my privieldge to welcome you all to Villamor Palace and of course, to the great city of Altéa. Ever since the passing of my father, I was left with several questions. Questions that, I fear, there are no simple answers to. It is to my understanding that the current world order is tense, chaotic, and in fact out-of-order. To this, your invitations to Altéa have a purpose: cooperation.

cooperation so that we may find order. Cooperation so that we may lay to rest malignant ideologies and their hellish spawns. Cooperation to make this world, that we all share, a better place. It is ever my intentions, as King of Egelion and leader of the Egelian world, to prose several measures at this conference to help safeguard our regions and to promote security. I also expect this historic occasion to be a moment of peace. To trade with one another, to find opportunities with each other, and to leave this meeting with something that will improve your respective nations. To that end, I yield the floor to those who wish to make statements and to those who wish to engage in conversation.

The king sits on a gilded chair next to the podium, carefully eyeing down representatives and making small chats with the representatives from Southern Dovani, Beluzia and Kalistan.
