Dealing of 330 AC

The Dealing of 330 AC was the fourteenth Dealing, a political meeting of minds, and particularly notable for the only Dealing that ever featured the controversial rebel government of the Farrowhalt Freehold as one of its participants. A moving speech was given by Michael Avleston at this Dealing towards the end of the affairs, just two weeks before he would be captured with his compatriot and fellow con-crownist Veddel Markwell and executed exactly five years after the Farmers' Revolution began, on January 19th, 331 AC.

While not particularly influential as a Dealing, as the Farmers' Revolution was almost guaranteed to fail for the Farrowhalt Freehold rebels, peace had not been officially declared and the Freehold remained as an existing government-in-exile, and Veddel Markwell and Michael Avleston, who had gone in hiding, attended the Dealing, knowing that peacekeepers would not allow a conflict to be brought on its grounds and any attempt to capture them would result in a swift reaction. They were still mourning the death of their friend and military leader, Dalan I Karthmere, who had died in the Six-Day-Siege just three weeks prior. All Freeholder territory had been fully retaken three or four days prior to the Dealing, meaning that the Freehold now only existed in name. Michael Avleston made sure to cite this in his speech, which is still considered one of the most heartfelt speeches to ever be spoken at a Dealing;
The speech, while not particularly long at just over 500 words, was spoken with prose and dignity, and some at the Dealing even recall Avleston getting emotional towards the end of it. This speech alone changed the opinion of the Dragomyrs across the sea, even leading some to call them 'pretenders' and other derogatory terms. This speech was certainly the highlight of the Dealing of 330 AC, but the other discussion, the colonization of Denemd, the island to the far north of both Andoras and Doras Edrossi, was also an interesting topic.
