Greetings, friends!

Now I know that you are all thinking of the Winterfest festivities - believe me, so am I. But in light of recent events, I believe it is time for us to convene again for the sake of all of Gaia.

I propose a meeting aboard the Invincible on the fifteenth day of the new year. You are all invited! The airship will pick you up wherever you are and suitable accommodation will of course be provided.

These are the items I suggest we put on the agenda (additional suggestions are welcome):

1) Recovery of the world economy, especially those cities that were badly damaged in the recent attacks.
2) Lufene and Kuja. Kuja has recently returned and Lufene has yet to be vanquished. Something needs to be done!
3) An update on the search for Garland and the elemental crystals.
4) The Lunatic Pandora. I've heard it can be used as a weapon. We can't risk it falling into enemy hands.

My friends, we are fighting a war on at least three fronts. The only chance we have to prevail is to work together. I do hope that you can attend. Please let me or Minister Artania know of any special arrangements.

Thank you.

- Cid Fabool IX, Regent of Lindblum
