[NR] a challenge of peace

[Maleah]

Greetings unto the North,
    While I agree with the sentiments behind HE Catrin's post I must
strongly disagree with the actions called for. I value the memories I have
of the people who have gone on but I think it's time to focus on the future
not on a death roll. We've worked too hard to overcome our grief to drag it
back out into the spotlight. It's time to move forward and let the past
rest.
    Namron will gladly help with the arch, but I believe the premier use
should be at Northkeep's investiture. It would start the tradition in a
positive light and give them something unique to start a new era.

Greetings unto the Northern Region,

Yesterday there was a picnic/fighter practice held in Moore.  Many people
attended this and had the opportunity to talk with Their Majesties.  In
light of my conversation, I propose the following.

I have heard from different people, at different times, that many of the
problems that we have here in the North can be traced to the many deaths we
had a some years ago.   Looking back, I can agree with that.  The North
didn't have time to heal from one death before another occured and we all
rode a roller coaster ride of grief.  These people that passed also provided
a certain stability that went with them.

Her Majesty suggested an arch.  I will talk with artisians to build this
arch, and have it ready by Samhain.  On this arch, we can place items of
memory and tribute to those who have passed.  I would also suggest that we
put items on this arch for those we admire and respect.  Let this arch be a
symbol of what is strong and good in the North.

This is my challenge.  Bring items to add to this Arch.  We can start this
at Samhain, but it doesn't have to end there.

In Service to the Ideal,
Catrin Mac Cracken
