"I was afraid we would have to start without you." "Never be afraid where I'm concerned, Lord Colin," Aaron responded. "I will always be where I'm supposed to." "Well, yes, very good," Colin replied, "let's get down to business." The Guild Council was made up of the heads of the major guilds in Aithen; merchant, fighter/guardsman, weapons/armor, magic/sorcery, craft, bard. The neutral Guilds, thief and assassin were not part of the policy making of the Council but still played an important role in the day-to-day operation of the Council's interests. If money and enterprise were involved, the Guild Council was interested. The Council also interacted with the other guildhalls of the Five Realms. Each Guildmaster held a spot on the Council, with an election for Council head. The head of the Council was required to give up his guild's interest and nominate a replacement to his chair.

"Well, where is Wheatstone?" Master Colin asked. "Show him in so we may hear his side of this story?" "Unfortunately, Wheatstone pulled a short sword and tried to skewer me with it, and I had no choice but to remove the threat, as well as Wheatstone," Aaron sighed as he set the leather bag containing Wheatstone's head on the table, "I now believe he was just trying to defend himself. He was surprised to see me and possibly thought I was there to kill him, which means I was also duped, which doesn't sit well with me. I will find out who passed the information to this cut-purse, who initiated the contract and lured Wheatstone to the meeting." Aaron sat back and crossed his arms.
