When the senators all got in their seats, the Senate meeting began.

The Triumvirate, the three leaders of the senate stood from their seats and walked to the center of the room.

The executive Consul, Taegor Azantys, stepped in front of the other two. He wore a purple and gold toga, engraved with the gold dragon of his house. House Azantys used a golden dragon on their sigil for a different reason than House Aeksion, which did it to project their wealth and influence. House Azantys' golden dragon represented the great statue above their castle in Gelios. His ancestors fought in the Fifth Ghiscari War and personally took part in the destruction of the city of Ghis. During that war they claimed the great golden harpy statue that rested on the largest piramid of the city as their own, melting it down and turning the harpy into a dragon to place atop their castle.

Taegor spoke. "I'm sure you've all heard the rumors of the incident with Volon Therys and Sar Mell. Colonists killed one of those giant turtles that the Rhoynish worship as consorts of their river goddess."

The Valyrians scoffed.

"Turtle worshiping savages the lot of them." One of the Senators muttered, followed by the agreeing murmurs of his peers.

"Is that Prince of Sar Mell demanding justice for the turtle again?" Rhaegel asked.

"No." Taegor replied. "He has besieged the colony."

"What?!" The Tyrian senator roared. "Those savages dare attack a Valyrian colony?!"

"Volon Therys has been besieged by the Prince of Sar Mell for over a week, word has just reached us now by raven." Taegor said.
