Rakkus closed the door to his private quarters and quickly used the feather and fur dryer to get back to his usual floofed self. He dressed quickly hoping the semi floral scents of his private baths wouldn't be too prevailent to the other triarchs. He had needed to just relax after all the reports he had been reading through. Once dressed he pushed into the common area and could see Sonus and Verra already seated at their meeting table.
"You know Rakkus, you are always telling Verra and I how important punctuality is to you...and here you are smelling of luxuries and late from your quarters." Sonus spoke with a grin on his face. Rakkus only chuckled. "Considdering the news that has been circulating I needed some...extra time to relax." Verra nodded to this "Mmm, the acusations and words of the others we have met have been...shocking to say the least. War is what many of our people are saying." The gryphon shook his head. "So much of our time spent developing what we have...and here we are at the edge of a war once more."
Rakkus took a deep breath "Yes, War is the word that is spreading. And we have already recieved more than one request for aid." Sonus nods and looks his fellow Triarchs in the eye "We train our people to be able to defend our selves. We build ships with weapons...but I do not believe that we should ever try to use them on others." Verra pushed a embossed notice to the others then "Then read this and tell me what you think. If you like it. Then we will announce it on the mass bands tonight. The other two read the document carefully before both stamped it for release.

The people crowded the capital square to watch the podium that had been errected. They all knew that this had to be something important. The three never called a general assembly unless there was important news. The national anthem began and the three pushed out of the doors to the Triarchical offices as it played. The crowed watched and cheered for their rulers as they walked up and stood side by side before the voicecaster.
"Gryphons of Great Roost, and all of our children who sail the stars, we the Three have met and wish to address you about the most recent interstellar events." Rakkus's strong voice boomed out over the crowd. The picture and audio being cast out to every screen on the planet and on the public and private interstellar bands as well. In particular every diplomatic frequency was being used for this.
"War is coming. We have already seen and heard the evidence of such and know that it will only be a matter of time till the weapons sound. We three have taken much time to discuss how we should respond to this. We know all too well fromt he histories what war has done to our people. How we lost Katei and many of our ancestors to it." Silence met these words, every ear turned to listen. "The Vox are prepared to defend us to their last breath. That is what they have trained for.....but...we cannot ask to send them to their deaths." Sonus nodded at this, looking out over the crowd.
"We are a peaceful race, and cut off any wish to enter into war when we lost Katei. So, this i say to you. We, the three, will not engage in war." The sound of the stone used to end a command cracked over the silent crowd. Rakkus grinned as even then none seemed to want to speak.
"Now. This next is not just for our people. But for all those who know us as well. To those we work with to develop research and who we have traded many good with as well."
Rakkus, Sonus and Verra pulled out a white scarf and drapped it over their shoulders before Rakkus spoke again. "The Triarchy here by enacts an edict. We will take no action that will aid or hamper anyone that would use that action for purposes of harming others. We step aside and let you take such actions on your own. We will neither offer monitary or other assistance nor will we cancel any agreements we have in place. We wish NO part of this." The sound of the stone clacks out again.
"However, should peace be what you wish to discuss. Should mediation be what is required. We have build a tower and declared it neutral ground. No weapons will be allowed in its walls. No agression will be tolerated. We offer a venue to talk in peace, to discuss concerns and any matter in a civil manner. This tower is in our capital. And any of the Three will be willing to aid and stand as mediator. We will make no judgments for you, but we hope our wisdom and years of peaceful reign will be of use. To all peoples who can hear this, pass this message on. Let even the most violent of species know of us. We open this ground for talks as of today. Come if you will and bring an open mind." The stone clacked a third time. The broadcast ends with the cheers of the gryphons washing out the anthem. Not every gryphon looked pleased, but the leaders had never led them astray so far. Now was not a time for turmoil. Now was a time to bring other races closer together and to listen to logic and wisdom.
The Gryphonic Triarchy opened their arms to peace, now all they had to do was wait to see who would be interested in achieving it.
