[Daveth Coldbrook]

Daveth works slowly and methodically through the treaty, never losing focus, attempting to unsnarl as many issues as possible, understanding that the next conflict could spring from the smallest of sources.

[Septon Arlyn]

Septon Arlyn had a hard week, however he had just given a sermon yesterday about the importance of treaty drafting and he was going to be damned if he had to put his foot in his mouth. Septon Arlyn procured a desk at the corner of the pavilion. He set a stack of candles in a small basket to his left side, and on the other he had an empty basket, with many leaves of blank parchment stacked up on the desk. Gods be with me tonight the Septon Thinks to himself and sets to work. Ignoring the sounds of snoring around him, and the rustle of soldiers pants and clank of armor against weapons as they passed the tent the Septon Remained focused on his task. The smell of woodsmoke and unwashed bodies permeated the air, leading the septon to smell it even as there was no one else in the pavilion with him. Gods, it stinks, maybe I should speak with Ser Garred about ensuring that all soldiers bathe once every three days Septon Arlyn smiles at such a ridiculous notion. I can just imagine it now, "
Hey your men should keep themselves clean, it helps reduce diseases and lice amongst the men"
"
In my day diseases and lice were what built character, grumble grumble something something , nosy septon"
Septon Arlyn chuckles at the thought and turns his attention back to the treaties he had gathered from the Warriors Seat. Oh good, they still have copies of the treaties they signed back in Septon Barths time, Good man that Septon, probably what made Jaehaerys such a good ruler, but best keep thoughts like that to myself eh? Septon Arlyn compares the verbiage to what he was given by the Marstens, making notes and changes to the wording to be more in line with what the great conciliator wrote. Hopefully by mimicking the most successful treaties of the past we can ensure that our treaty will be successful in the future.

Septon Arlyn's legs begin to cramp from sitting so long, so the septon gets up to streatch. As he arises he hears some scuffling of boots against the grass.Looks like someone else couldn't sleep well, Septon Arlyn pokes his head out from the slit in the tent and looks around. He sees Terren with his own lit candle and smiles to himself. quite a diligent boy that one is, he is quite smart once he puts his mind to something. He will make a good steward or caretaker someday. Septon Arlyn removes his head from the slit and moves back around the tent pacing. Oh Gods its going to be a long night. Hopefully this will bear fruit. I'm concerned that we have been set up to fail here. How can we, in one week, expect to change the future of these two feuding houses that have been at war or quasi war for longer than the faith has been in westeros? A fools errand to be sure. But whoever decided to do this was the greater fool in underestimating Lady Corrine, as well as the investigating houses. I doubt that so many skilled people can be found in one place outside of kings landing's court itself. Aye, a bunch of formidable houses to be sure they have assembled. Even if it was merely a neither the greens more blacks liked the who was chosen, as Lady Gwyn appears to think. Still it is strange that it took and edict from good king Viserys for action on this to occur. I wonder why Lord Tully was passed over.

So late into the night he spent reviewing the treaty, time seemed to stand still as the candles turned to wax on the small desk that Septon Arlyn was working diligently at. A lake of wax had formed by the end of the Septons vigil and the Septons Stomach was rumbling fiercely. I should have brought some grapes from the bartheld vineyard and some of the new redwyne cider everyone keeps talking about. It would not dull my senses as much as good bartheld wine would yet still quench my thirst. Septon Arlyn rubs this thick hands over his face and feels the growth underneath the pads of his fingers. God it's a never ending chore. But cleanliness is next to godliness, so its best to keep by face free from grime and to bath myself regularly. Especially with all the bleeding and grime that has been occurring, speaking of which. Septon Arlyn grabs his Maesters kit and opens the box, its various shelves standing up like steps with small boxes separating each item individually. He reaches for a bandage roll and places it carefully on the desk, as his Maesters kit was taking up the seat. He carefully unwraps the bandages and inspects his various injuries. as much as that Tullison maester offers unsolicited advice, he certainly does know a thing or three about healing. These stitches are nearly perfect, most people attempt to make them too tight, which prevents the skin from healing properly, on the other hand, people who do not know leave them too loose, and let the bad humors in. Impressive, very Impressive. I doubt I even need an external bandage on this. But I will put one their anyways as blood is so difficult to get out of clothing. Best not raise any more suspicion than necessary about some of my... extra curricular activities.

As the Septon finishes the bandaging Septon Arlyn notes that his candle is right at its base, burning up the last bit of thread. "
Best to snuff it out before I loose my light."
and with that Septon Arlyn blows out the candle and makes his way over to the cot. Laying on it gently the Septon hears the creaking groan of the wood and cloth as it stretches to conform to the big mans body. "
Listen to yourself, you sound like that maester, Ive had enough of this nonsense, let us get some rest and be done with it."
With those final words the Septon let the warmth his body heat up the quilts he was lying under, and drifts off to sleep.

Corrine knew her reputation was riding on the success of this treaty, and so she put as much effort as she could muster into checking it was the best she could make. The long, taxing week was taking it's toll, but she struggled through.

[Yoren longshore]

Throughout the whole night Yoren sits poring over the documents. He draws strength from the heat emitted by the brazier in his room, and seems impervious to the heat it's emitting. With him he has his own copy of the treaty, which he reads over with interest. Though he is barely proficient in the laws of the seven kingdoms he still looks over the documents with determination. If you had to be a master before you started looking into things you'd never become a master. Everyone started as an amateur, and though Yoren still considered himself an amateur he got a few tidbits of information from the treaty. He swiftly grew frustrated: For each answer he found as he pored through the Bracken library he found three new questions he had to answer. He read until dawn, and he'd be able to spend more time with the tomes, if he hadn't had to still look over his men. Still, even when looking over his men, he can't dispel the notion that he could have done more.

[Nathaniel Mason]

Nathan removed is reading glasses and rubbed his eyes. At this point, the results of the treaty were irrelevant to him. However he had made a promise, and he always kept his word. There was an unseen hand to all of this, a Dornish hand if his information, and his gut, were correct. Even the lightest touch of a hand left fingerprints. Of course, few would believe him. 'The Bartheld Aide' was just a euphemism for what they really wanted to call him. Not that he cared two coppers.

The huge stacks of papers had taunted him. It was like looking for specific grains of sand in a very large desert. However, patterns had emerged. Events, that on their surface had seemed inconsequential took on more interesting view when coupled with similar events.

Cracking his neck and reaching for fresh paper, he began to write his report to Grandmaester Orwyle.

Ben had little trouble remaining vigilant. He smartly dissected the treaty. Where he faltered, he tumbled. His base knowledge lacked the depth and scope to cover the many topics. He was grateful, for what little extra Maester Leopold had taught him, or it may have been worse. His baring and nobility carry him through the small embarrassment.

[Theomore Tullison]

Theomore sat up with Haelis all night, looking through everything, discussing the materials and proceedings with him. Taking copious notes along the way. While Theomore was generally able to force himself through any ordeal when needed, the maester, apparently, could not, falling asleep in the morning and making no threats of actually waking up to accompany him to the treaty deliberations. Well, Theomore was not about to let the maester's good work go to waste, no. Though what was that about early birds? Theomore's notes comes from their discussions, he did take part in those discussions if mostly to listen and ask question, and sleepyheads are best not embarrassed by having to explain why they are not on hand to present their own arguments. So Theomore is a good friend and allows the good maester to sleep like a baby with no shame brought upon him, while ensuring that his hand will touch the treaty all the same. Of course, those other present would never know these additions to come from someone else than Theomore unless they happened to be of the suspicious sort.

[Kevan Lyras]

While Kevan could not help but feeling a bit out of his depths, he nevertheless worked tirelessly to finish the work on the treaty. He was thankful that his father had provided him not only with the opportunity to become a knight, but also insisted that his children took as many lessons with septas and maesters as possible, ensuring that his children were prepared for the world they live in.
But all these lessons could not prevent the Marsten knight from committing a critical blunder, when he cited several historical events in a chapter to support the treaties decision, but mixed up two historical figures. Nevertheless, his work also had positive consequences for the young knight. With the main topics being decided by the voting process of the investigating houses, Ser Kevan managed to settle the dispute between two merchant factions about the ownership of a granary in the stone hedge.
Work was exhausting that much was true, but when he was finally finished with his chapters, he felt the satisfaction of having made a difference. Effort does indeed pay off

[Tristayne Tullison]

Tristayne, partially recovered from the strife of recent events, set about pawing through the treaty, reading up on the background of it and spending hour after hour first examining the exact language of the document, then going through the individual clauses with a fine toothed comb, managing the legal language with a skillful ease. Then, he attempted to draw on his limited knowledge of nobility generally to find faults and flaws in the document.
