SR - The Bonwicke/Shadowlands dilemma

[maddie teller-kook]

I know a meeting is planned (well, a tea) at Gothic. Has anyone talked to the
populace to see IF they really want this?  I have heard a lot of conflicting
information. I think before we really proceed with any serious meetings, we must
make sure they want to do this. Personally, I have serious reservations about
the southern region and western region forming a principality. For one, it
defeats the purpose of having a smaller area to work with. How many in the
southern region  have traveled all the way to adlersrhue? And it will be
interesting to see how many from Adlersrhue have traveled here.

just a thought,
