The Elder carrying the completed resolution crossed the chamber and laid it before the Elder Leader. She read the first page in silence, turned it, then went through the rest without hurrying, and when she had finished she passed one copy toward Valttair and another toward Roderic.
"The terms reflect what was agreed before this Council. House Vaelion accepts institutional responsibility for the operation presented by House Morgain. Ten Legendary-grade items will be transferred as compensation, reconstruction costs will be assessed separately, all personnel and facilities in Morgain territory connected to the network will be withdrawn, any surviving operation will be disclosed, and neither House will operate inside the other's territory without authorization."
Valttair read his copy from beginning to end before placing his hand over the Morgain seal.
"Morgain accepts the resolution."
