Under Yuna's lead as well as the occasional input from Ringwald and confirmations by Frost the council became fully informed of the situation and broke into a thorough debate.
Thankfully it seemed that the merchants Frost was initially worried about were of no consequence. They displayed natures similar to Ringwald and Jaina, choosing to rather forgo promises of substantial profits in leu of protecting Niflheim's interests as a growing nation.
The group discussed at length, diving deep into the possible scenarios depending on the adventurers guild's future findings as well as generating long term plans.
Seeing this Frost couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, his subordinates were very capable. Even without him being present, his territory would continue to flourish at an advanced rate. Another weight was lifted from his shoulders allowing him to once again look forward to his upcoming expedition.
