320-1120Archduke Adair has arrived on Shululsish to preside over the upcoming
meeting of the ducal senate. He has taken up residence on the estate of Count
Gyldenskjold, sharing those quarters with such worthies as the Countess of
Hoatzin and the Aslan leader Teahtaukhakhtko. Late this evening he appeared
at a grand ball held in the Ducal Palace, accepting the homage of the
assembled peers.It appears that a clear majority of the duchy's peerage has
arrived on Shululsish for the convocation. A clear quorum of the electors
seems almost certain. The highest-ranking peer not in attendance is the Count
of Dimmurak, who sent his regrets (and his proxies, held by the Marquis of
Boqueron). Many other prominent figures of the Alderamin region are also
present, including representatives from all major Imperial corporations and
several delegates from the Vegan Autonomous Region.One delegation of
particular interest is that of Teahtaukhakhtko. The Aslan chief is naturally
accompanied by his son and heir Staiyoea, but also by two young Aslan not
formerly seen in his retinue. Aslan-watchers on Shululsish have spent much
time speculating about the identities of these new followers, whom the ko is
apparently treating with great honor.Security in the starport area and
throughout the capital is very tight, with Imperial and planetary forces all
involved and on high alert. There has been no trouble, although a minor
incident occurred early this morning when a passenger off the Dingir Star was
arrested by the planetary constabulary. The passenger's identity is still
being held in confidence, but he is reported to be a former employee of
Tukera Lines presently traveling on a Cuchulain passport. Constabulary
spokesmen announced that he was being held on suspicion of involvement in
assault and extortion charges, dating back to 1116.Ω
