House d'Tankerville

[Barefoot Scribe]

On the 13th of August in the c.e. year 2020, corresponding to the first day of Lammas on the Julian Calendar, Alix the Countess of d' Tankerville issued a decree that Branwyn is elevated to the title and privilege of Baroness of Errol. Errol was established long ago as a barony by the then reigning King of Britannia. In the lands of Siege she will be the representative of the House which is based elsewhere. It is presently believed that Tankerville Castle, originally in Normandy before the invasion of Britain, lies in ruins now somewhere. Branwyn currently resides in the old St. Brendan's Abbey which was built by seafaring monks in honor of the patron of sailors and travelers. The architecture is reminiscent of its former occupation but the interior has been remodeled extensively, and alas, the outskirts of Minoc have become a "Bartertown" for ill gotten gain with a shrine glorifying a departed scoundrel known as Chad Sexington almost at the doorstep.
In assuming her new title Bran will no longer be a member of Gilfane but, rather, of House d' Tankerville. The House is allied to the White Council.

Unless something has changed very recently, St. Brendan's Abbey is not accessible to the public, a violation of Barter Town property code 806.11d. The Abbey is well known for the acts of animal cruelty that frequently take place inside of it's walls. All visitors to the Abbey will be assumed guilty of such acts and dealt with accordingly until an agreement can be reached between the Abbey's owner and the Barter Town council. If you intend to visit the Abbey, please be advised that the citizens of Barter Town are friends to all animals and we will do whatever it takes to protect them.

806.11d - All housing placed in the Barter Town area must be accessible to the public so that inspectors can check the security of said property at their leisure. Failure to comply will result in fines not to exceed 100,000 gold per day and/or death.

With all due respect; these accusations of animal cruelty are blatantly fallacious. As the custodian of the property which belongs to the House d'Tankerville, Branwyn is authorized to open the Abbey to the public. She would be available to meet with representatives of the Barter Town council in hopes of a peaceful and civilized resolution of the current state of affairs. The council representative may reply here with a proposal for a meeting date and location.

It has been brought to my attention that this St. Brendan Abbey could be remodeled to a very animal friendly place. I looked over various designs and lo! there was a splendid one. Very costly to do this, not to mention the work involved. But if it promises a better future relationship with my neighbors I am willing to consider it.
Question: Will the Governor of Minoc be at the meeting with Barter Town council or does it lie outside of his jurisdiction?
