This RP will only start at the completion of Snake in the Grass and only when each player is ready, following a discussion between myself and Kuhblam.

 * Use the Rpt Template. It's there for a reason.
 * Avoid short, pointless or disruptive posts. Keep posts at least 10 lines long at the minimum. Any less will need to be rewritten.
 * Don't go Superman with your forces. No being is indestructible and no army is undefeatable.
 * Read the thread before posting your point, don't add something pointless and entirely incorrect.
 * Make sure you use proper Spelling and Grammer. Check your posts before you post.
 * Be sure to post your Faction with a small introduction into their reaction and actions after the Setting, prior to posting.
 * Don't dive into battle without warning or preparation. Such actions will result with repercussions based on feasability of attack.
 * Don't go killing other players main characters without their permission first.
 * Be crafty with you ideas and tactics. These Factions need to be intelligent to survive and prosper.
 * This list will increase only as necessary.

Setting
Within the realm of the League of Eternity, a small area just north of The Order of the Darkest Night, the mighty Hall of Conference stands tall. Within these highly reinforced walls it has become tradition for the Emissaries of each of the most powerful Factions to gather, discuss and create Trade Agreements. Within the central Hall the Factions maintain permanent sections, as a Faction rises it gains a place, however as a Faction falls it is removed. This year is no different as the council of Emmissaries gathers to organise the future of their world.

The youngest of the Factions, The Order of the Burning Light, claimed the seat previously controlled by the AmberSwords, a rival Faction who have all but disappeared. They sit in their fine suits, surrounded by financial equipment and communication devices, talking amongst themselves and moving amongst the room speaking to the representatives from friendly Factions. Alongside them are the Representatives from the Order of the Darkest Night in a quiet, darkened corner. They sit, speaking to no others, in their dark robes and cloaks, ever watchful of the those surrounding them. Almost directly opposite resides the Faction of the Knights of Valkaiser. fluttering behind them from an unseen wind are their banners, showing where their loyalties lie, a look of arrogance across the face of each. Further down the line, showing off all their heritage, glory and proud military traditions, sits the representative from the Marquis of Aegis Infernae, their fine formal wear glittering with medals and honour badges. The Society of the Scythe are situated alongside, dressed not like other Factions, preferring to attend in the same gear they would wear day to day. The Society move around the room, choosing to speak to only a select few. Across the room is seated the delegation from the Order of the Green Talon, respendant in their robes and formal suits, flaunting their place as the wealthiest amongst them. The representatives from this faction move amongst every other Faction, organising and creating Trade deals.

Conference
"We call to order this meeting of the Ruling Factions of Daine," spoke the Representative from the League of Eternity, "Before we begin to discuss business as usual we must bring to light a few urgent matters." The member of the League of Eternity looks around the room. "The Representative from the Azure Bears has asked to be heard. He may now step forward."

Standing from his seat, the Representative from the Azure Bears spoke. "We have come before you, good people of Daine to speak of an issue that has arisen for the faction I represent. Those from Aegis Infernae presume themselves to be greater and have been venturing into our territory using subterfuge, with violent intentions." The Representatives from Aegis Infernae collectively stood and roared in protest. "The claims these fools from the Azure Bear Faction are placing before you are falsehoods! We of Aegis Infernae have honour and do not deceive when we attack, if we do so it is in the plain of day with our banners flying. There is only a single Faction here who would invade another with such methods." They looked glaringly towards the Faction of the Order of the Darkest Night who remained unmoved.

Slowly, and at their own pace, the Representative of the Order of the Darkest Night stood and spoke. "Regardless of what you believe Representative, the finger has been pointed towards those under the banner of Aegis Infernae." With a smug look on his face the man from the Order of the Darkest Night continued. "And frankly, knowing the past of Aegis Infernae, I believe the Azure Bears have reason to be wary." The Representative from the Order of the Green Talon stepped in to ease the peace. "Regardless of the claims there is no evidence unless the Faction of the Azure Bear has some to put forward?" All eyes looked towards the Representative in question. "We do not, other than our word." The Order of the Green Talon Representative continued, "Then we cannot condemn Aegis Infernae, only the Arbites may act as Judge, Jury and Executioner... and we are not them. However a much more pressing issue has arisen. If the Order of the Burning Light would be so kind."

Stepping before the other Factions the Representative from the Order of the Burning Light presented their information. "Good people. Word has reached our informants of the presence of a Chaos Fleet in the sector." Hushed murmurs travelled around the room. "Is there any indication of the direction they are headed?" The Representative from the Society of the Scythe, who had been quiet till now, asked. "Preliminary reports indicate they are following an erratic route with the end destination in this general area." The Representative from the Society of the Scythe stood and addressed the room. "We will place the PDF on alert." "And we will notify the Adeptus Arbites," The Order of the Green Talon added.

"There is no guarantee the Chaos Fleet is headed here, we could be placing unnecessary fear on the populace, "Spoke a member of the Order of the Darkest Night from the shadows." The Representative from the League of Eternity spoke again. "And if it is not and we are all unprepared, what then? No... the Society of the Scythe are right. We must go on full alert, are we in agreeance?" "Aye" spoke the majority of the assembly. "Then let us break for recess, notify your leaders. Ajourned."

As each group of Representatives broke for recess there were furtive looks exchanged and obvious malice between a few.

"Notify the High Lord, the Arbites are needed," One representative from the Order of the green Talon spoke to another.

"They will regret their words today, notify the Marquis," A Representative from Aegis Infernae spoke to another.

"...The stuation may get worse... yes what we feared," A Representative from the Society of the Scythe could be heard over a communication.

"Our plans must be accelerated... they are aware of the threat even if they do not know to what extent," A cloaked figure spoke to himself, hidden in the shadows amongst the statues, high above the Central Hall and the Representatives down below.
