next thing you'll know guilder will be more on quentyn's side then any of them!

Well, maybe not on his side, but in his own words, he's the only one taking it seriously.

So your prediction is partly true. Gilder's alone in his view. And it's not really a grudge so much as a concern that the beuracrats will destroy the Questor and everything he holds dear... including the village he comes from.

Beuracrats are some of the most vicious and spiteful people. You cross them and they will pull nearly every string they can to screw up your life. A few of them probably won't be legal, but who's going to question them about it?

Hmm... how many of you are willing to bet some people on the Council wish they'd never heard of the tiny village of Freeman Downs?

You mean like Hillary and the travel office? Or the people who offended Bill C. with their honesty being suddenly targets of IRS audits among other things?

Hey Strange.....

The Council of Elders LIVES in Freeman Downs! And evidently for a looooong time considering their repsective positions as Village Elders.

That's a difinite possibility, but the message didn't give any indication of those feelings......but as you suggest, that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't there.

I thought that every village had its own council of elders, and that there was a larger governing body to be found in Sanctuary. Like most states have their own senate and house, and then there is the senate and house in Washington.
