Wardens of the Dawn,
When the Wardens of Dawn was formed we were directed by our benefactors to set up an adventuring company with a point of contact as well as some means of assuring that the company account would be well-managed. To this end the Council was established. It was not meant to have a ruling function, merely administrative in nature. We, as a group, decided to appoint five of our number to the Council. A good number at the time, seeing as we were combating the forces of the Five Daggers of Ottath.
For some time now I have been pondering the rightness of the council. I fear that the setting aside of certain members of the party as being somehow special has led to mistrust and feelings of exclusion. I feel that the Wardens are more fragmented now than we have ever been.
I, therefore, propose the immediate dissolution of the Council. The Wardens of Dawn do not need to splinter themselves. We must all work together to assure our success. We must all have a say in the financial matters of our troupe. I have no ill will towards the members of the council, past or present. They were doing their duty as they saw fit.
I propose that the finances are of concern to all of us and that the books should be made public to all who care to see. This way we see that no one is hiding anything. Everyone is accountable and involved.
I feel that if the Organizations wish to contact the Wardens we do not need a designated point of contact. The Silver Guild is able to communicate with us in their open letters to the Wardens. So should the other Organizations. There are members of theirs within our very party who would be even better advocates for their missives. I do not think any communique will fall through the cracks.
In summary, I feel that the Council is no longer of value in the Wardens of Dawn. I feel that the continuance of the Council will only serve to further splinter our trust and unity.
Thank you for your time and I welcome your comments and thoughts. I would like to put this before a vote of the Wardens before we leave Darkwell if possible.
