					<div class="bbWrapper"><i>120 years ago, the Adelram Empire, A great power that would expand for miles across Kazarok fell into disarray. Since the overthrow of the Stormstrum Dynasty, Humans were forced to suffer the spread of plague and collapse. Meanwhile conquerors such as Siegmund of Reikford took pieces of land through might, setting up an age of invasion that lasted for decades to come. My grandfather told me the people left the region, fending for themselves while they formed their own refuges. These refuges formed into the next pillars of society. Despite my ancestors’ survival, magical knowledge and engineering achievements were lost through the crossfire, putting us into an uncertain age. <br>
<br>
Now as I live and breath, people different from Human are coming into Kazarok. Our neighbors continue to fight us for whatever their lords’ demand. Even the beasts north of Kazarok are starting to take advantage of our division. I fear that if we do not regain our strength together, it’ll be the end of our future. Worse…</i><br>

A Spark of Armageddon takes place in an era of darkness where Humanity is at their lowest point and are primed for invasion. Meanwhile, races across the globe such as the Elves are bold enough to enter the political sphere. As players develop their factions, activity among the world will increase with new powers rising, affecting the status quo.  We’ll start off by listing the important information of the world. The world is set in 7000 in what the humans call it the Age of Uncertainty.<br>

<br>
<b>Races</b><br>
This will be updated as people introduce their own races for their factions.<br>
Human - It was said Humanity’s origins was always in Kazarok, settling down in temperate forests and herding cowbaffo. Five centuries ago, they managed to carve an empire that would see endless wars between Elven and Humans, driving Elvens out of Kazarok. But now Humans struggle to advance with the empires of old fallen. Despite their struggles, they continue to populate the world.<br>
<br>
Elves - Before Humanity were the Elven, long lived and mystical people who populated the continent Numerya. The Elves are considered talented when it comes to harnessing magic with ease. It was believed they were created by their God, Maegon the Dragon King. A monstrous ruler who dominated the skies above with hundreds of dragons. Maegon vanished, his creations still flying across the earth even today. Despite many Elvens lost during their wars with Humans, they have a desire to restore their glory once again.<br>
<br>
Orcs - No one knows where Orcs originated from, but it was said in the old times they came from the skies. When they first appeared in Nasroth, the first families would one day decide to fight and kill each other. Orc life has now been a infestation north of Kazarok, dwelling in all kinds of biomes such as tundra, grasslands, deserts. They also vary in terms of color such as redness, green, white.<br>
<br>
Goblins - Similar to Orcs, no one knows the true origin of the cunning Goblins. It can only be assumed they share a similar past with the bigger and more stronger Orcs, working with each other on fighting different species. However, several people easily underestimated them, as many Goblins have proven to become great masterminds behind war and pillaging. Most Goblins roam in the northeast of Kazarok.<br>
<br>
Lizardfolk - The southeast of Nasroth is filled with reptilian life, many claim the Lizardfolk such as Iguria have traced their origins before Elven history. Although the Lizardfolk seem apathetic to the geopolitics, it can only be assured they have a stake for all of Nasroth for reasons unknown. Many Lizardfolk dwell in Mesados, trading between tribes such as the Cythia civilization and even the Arajyd.<br>
<br>
Dwarves - Because of their insistence on recording their ancestry, Dwarves have wandered the earth for ten thousands of years. The original Dwarves were always divided into clans such as the Iron Men and the First Beards. They mined the largest mountains for ore, building their marvelous forges and crafting weapons said to kill the largest dragons. Many Dwarven Kingdoms socialized with Human tribes, giving them tools to fight off beasts and evil. But when the Elven Wars came and the massive Dwarven life lost, the Dwarves had no wish to fight for other people's wars, secluding themselves in their home mountains for the future. Now the current generation enjoys a life of solitude and content working.<br>
<br>
<b>Magic</b> - Magic is a universal system utilized by those knowledgeable enough to harness it. It is believed that magic flows across time and space. Scholars and practitioners of magic discovered the Circle of Magic as people began to utilize these magical powers. It is divided into categories from Sunn. These are:<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/magic3-png.582770/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/519/519730-e16feb5f68cc2b0b2203c3e8b0b4a37b.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="582770" title="582770" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Narrative Factions</b><br>
These factions serve to guide players into the world as they play on. As the game progresses, many factions will interact with each other as world events play out. Your actions will affect part of their world and may have consequences.<br>
<br>
Hildemar, Hilders(Franks/Germans) - Hildemar, considered to be one of the powerful kingdoms from the ashes of the Adelram Empire. These honorable and diligent people represent an old tradition of chivalry and engineering. Hildemar as of today is ruled by King Konrad of House Volkhelm.<br>
<br>
Borghildr, Borghilders(Norsemen) - Provinces of the Adelram Empire were invaded by conquerors. An infamous man named Siegmund forged a new kingdom by conquering the land once the Adelram were destroyed. A hundred years later, the kingdom known as Borghildr lives on as a hardened society. Borghildr is ruled by King Halldor of House Siegarsson.<br>
<br>
The Bastien Kingdom, Bastiens(French) - During the decline of the Adelram Empire, the province known as Bastia was founded by a group of nobles who sought to move away from the chaos. Refugees migrated to the province, allowing the nobles to establish a government. The Bastiens are renowned for their cultural development as many inspiring artisans and scholars migrate there for prestige and religious worship. Bastien is ruled by King Loren of House Rosselot<br>
<br>
Sigharis, Szilágyi Bloodline(Hungarians) - These prestigious vampires trace back from Henrik The Bloody, an ancient immortal who bathed in the blood of his enemies during battle who founded House Szilágyi. The patriarch Izsac Szilágyi during the Age of Strife was killed in action by Emperor Everyn V and other family members followed during the sacking of Sigharis. Now Izsac’s only daughter Natalia, the sole survivor seeks out to avenge her family by invading Adelram’s successors. Sigharis is ruled by Natalia of House Szilágyi.<br>
<br>
Iguria(Lizardfolk) - In Mesados lies a ancient civilization of reptilians said to build temples for reasons unknown. They lay mysterious, unchallenged as other powers are located in the other continents. Iguria is ruled by Sion.<br>
<br>
Heisen(Japanese) - To the east of Kazarok are the people of Heisen, a prestigious kingdom founded by Ghazon The Conqueror. Being a port society, Heisen is expected to raise a massive number of crops and silk for potential buyers. They frequently trade with the Arajyd. The Naras Sea because of its vast trade routes are occasionally disrupted by pirates. The Heisen is ruled by Emperor Kazuma of House Azura<br>
<br>
Brimnir(Dwarves) - Proudly traced back their ancestry from the First Beards, Brimnir is an isolated kingdom within the mountains of Kazarok. These Dwarves have no wish to bother with Human politics, working the gears and forges with content. They have an intense rivalry with Elves due to the lives lost in the Elven Wars. Brimnir is ruled by King Gorson of House Hrothgard<br>
<br>
Draka Khan(Orcs) - Orcs have migrated the north of Nasroth for centuries, pillaging whatever they can find and hunting the strongest creatures to walk. In the later years, several Orc clans have migrated elsewhere, seeking to satisfy their crave for adventure and sport. Clan Draka are red colored, scar ridden orcs who have a reason to take over the north of Kazarok as the Adelram Empire has fallen. Draka Khan is led by Khan Grenvul The Monstrous.<br>
<br>
R'azan, Children of Rod(Slavs/Russians) - Within the north of Kazarok are an isolated people dedicated to studying the origins of the earth using their magic. The R’azan claim to be masters of their arts, seeking to preserve Nasroth. Dressed in silver armor and riding pale horses the R’azan wander wherever danger lurks. The leader Mekar believes there is a inevitable event that will spark war between Elves and Human once more. The Children of Rod constantly train, waiting for a sign. The R’azan is ruled by Mekar The Absolute.<br>
<br>
Arajyd (Arabians) - The Medarian Desert lays home to many people such as the Arajyd. The society claims the major slave trade and spices flowing out in the sea, gaining a significant revenue stream. The Dynasty employs a series of hired swords if anyone attempts to fight with their business.  The Arajyd is ruled by King Yasir of House Daivari<br>
<br>
Altheim(Elves) - For centuries before the reign of Man, the Elven species ruled across Nasroth through their superior magic and their long lifespans. However, more species and eventually Humanity had overthrown Elven superiority through a series of devastating wars. The civilization of Altheim is but a shadow of Elven power, founded by Gaelron The Black Prince who was killed during Adelram’s invasion of Altheim. Gaelron’s heir and son Telion seeks to restore his honor and fallen empire back to their golden age. Altheim is ruled by Telion of House Valmyr.<br>

<b><s>Faction Traits</s> TRAITS ADDED BELOW</b><br>
<s>Your faction can be characterized through traits that affect how they live in the world. Like Magic, traits are divided into categories. The traits system will be given out once the Prologue Turn is out in the OP.</s><br>
<br>
<b>Turn Time Skips</b><br>
Time skips between turns vary and will change depending on world events, progression of society or wars. Therefore there is generally no fixed time skip.<br>
<br>
<b>Gameplay</b><br>
How the game will work is that once I approve of your application, I will post a Prologue Turn detailing your starting faction on the map involving territory, population, infrastructure etc and a short story regarding current events in that area. I will also post a technology tree privately regarding your faction. Once the prologue is out, you are free to send a turn sheet below. I'll write the results based on a ten sided die and the faction's traits and skills to determine the outcome. The turn will be posted, showing faction results. Rinse and repeat.<br>
<br>
<b>Sending A Turn</b><br>
Once the prologue is out, you will send me a turn sheet containing the six types below <b>through private messages</b>. You can abstain from any type, but your turn must at least include one action for one type.<br>
NOTE: You may only post <b>six</b> actions and any action may not exceed five sentences. Divide the actions for clarity.<br>
<br>
<i>Diplomacy</i>: This action regards other civilizations or neighbors such as improving relations, declaring wars, or enacting foreign policies.<br>
<i>Military</i>: This action involves what you want to do with your starting army. Do you wish to mobilize them on your neighbors, conscription, gather your bannermen for an upcoming war, or develop your peasants into a professional force?<br>
<i>Education</i>: This action involves what steps is your faction taking to educate the population. Are nobles only allowed the highest form of learning, is the faction constructing buildings for scholar purposes?<br>
<i>Infrastructure</i>: This action answers how the faction is improving its way of life through building new roads, ensuring a steady water supply, making sure the people are well adjusted.<br>
<i>Economy</i>: This action gives your faction an opportunity to improve or change your economy in terms of how the faction wishes to distribute wealth. Economy will also play an important role in wars as what you do within your wars will affect the entire faction.<br>
Details(Optional): Is there something you’d like to show through pictures or short stories?<br>

<b>Government</b>Direct Democracy/Eldership<br>
<b>Religion:</b> The Journey<br>
<b>Background:</b><br>
Long ago this band of Gnomes left their ancestral homeland as land grew scarce and the laws too restrictive in search of greener pastures. During this endeavor one of the family heads, Zeek Worm-Foot, came running from the forest nearby their temporary campsite claiming he had seen visions of the past, future, and of God. Doubtful of his claims yet curious the other leaders of the expedition followed Zeek to the 'Magic Mushrooms' deep within the forest that granted Zeek his visions. The others looked at each other and with a shrug tried them.<br>
<br>
They were taken on a trip just as Zeek had and upon returning to their caravan it was decided that they would settle in the woods where they could cultivate and consume the mushrooms at ease. Through their consumption an entire new religious movement developed amongst these gnomes, dubbed by Zeek and his friends "The Journey" which is the path of finding harmony and enlightenment by way of their magic mushrooms and whatever else they can use to find that state of understanding they have during their trips to the 'otherside'.<br>
<br>
Since then the Gnomes have set up a town that they've dubbed "Rainbow Grotto" after the visions they'd seen in conjunction with a waterfall veiled cave nearby. Said cave has become a shrine to achieving enlightenment for the Gnomes and is a frequent place for elders to meet and engage in religious journeys together. However the gnomes realize that not only should they spread their message of harmony through consuming magical ingredients, but also that their method alone is not perfect and much more must be understood, tested, and consumed to truly come to terms with themselves, time, and reality itself.<br>

<b>Government: </b>Elective Hagiarchy (Effectively a Monarchy)<br>
<br>
<b>Religion: </b>Saint and Ancestor Worship<br>
<br>
<b>Background: </b><br>
<br>
The Heldonian Angels arrived in Nasroth in 6281 as refugees of a cataclysmic god war which sundered their reality and brought it to an end. For several decades prior to their arrival, the angels fought and labored intensively in a loose coalition to prepare for their extra-planar escape. It succeeded only with the sacrifice of thousands, and the loss of their leaders who remained behind to ensure the portal would stay open long enough for their escape. Less than ten thousand survived the passage, and they rained down from the skies of Nasroth over an area of land they would soon claim as their own. Most of these angels were members of militant and non-militant orders and had lived through a near lifetime of war.<br>
<br>
It is unsurprising that the arrival of the angels was not a peaceful one. Many were warriors and conquerors, and from the moment they set foot on the ground, they declared an immediate crusade to secure land for their survival. Armed only with what they carried with them through the portal, the angels invaded the nearby human settlements and took control of the small region. Many were enslaved and pressed into service for constructing their fortress-monasteries, a feat which would take years. One by one, these fortresses were finished and the humans often freed. The strongest of the various orders reside in massive stone keeps which would expand for years to come, while smaller orders were often forced to share smaller castles or even manors.<br>
<br>
Settlements grew and appeared around the angel fortresses despite the initially cold relations between the Heldonian Angels and the humans of the region. The angels provided significant protection and order to those who resided near them at the cost of self-rule. For many, this was a reasonable exchange as they felt they had changed one group of feudal lords for another, more effective ruling class. Humans were essentially a caste beneath the angels. Those who showed promise were granted titles and lands to become lords themselves, but always beneath the angels. Slavery ultimately declined greatly once the bulk of the fortresses were constructed, but several orders still support and maintain slavery. Interbreeding was an inevitability between the angels and the humans, and a considerable half-breed population grew over the years.<br>
<br>
The leader of the combined orders is elected by the respective leaders of each order and by the heads of major families. For those who are both, they may cast a vote on behalf of either their order or their house, but not both. The elected leader is given mana essence by each of those casting a vote as a method of demonstrating their acceptance of their new leader, and shortly afterwards they are canonized as a living Saint.<br>
<br>
The orders in particular are essentially life-paths, in which members are educated and trained by the order they serve. Many are militant in some way – some value the arts of the sword, while others teach dark magics. More peaceful orders, such as the Order of the Immortal Blood, are healers. Each has a specialty in some way, but a number are also general brotherhoods, or bound to ideas rather than certain methods. Entry into an order is often for life, but those which become masters of their order, or find that they do not belong, can be granted the ability to leave their order without shame so that they may choose another path.<br>
<br>
Heldon Angels (often termed Seraphs in relation to other races) are long lived and humanoid, most resembling a cross between elves and humans with the addition of other unique features. Unsurprisingly, the most significant trait of the angels are their wings, which can come in a myriad of different colors other than white, such as black, red, and gold. Angels do not grow full wings until they have reached maturation, which occurs before the age of twenty-five. Years of war in their original realm have brought about a few notable corruptions to the appearances of some angels, such as the appearance of horns, fangs, and irregular eye patterns.<br>

<b><span style="font-size: 26px">Free Peoples of Everynia </span></b>​</div><br>
The Free Peoples of Everynia is a technocratic direct democracy founded in the year of 6880 well over a century ago by revolting self-organized councils of humanitarian peasants immediately following the collapse of the declining Adelram Empire. Situated in the fertile plains between Adelford and Bastia, and benefiting greatly from merchant caravans passing through their lands on Everyn's Road, few of it's contemporaries can be said to rival it as an agricultural powerhouse. Militaristic, atheistic, as well as rhabdophobic, the state seeks to eventually stamp out magic in all of it's forms from existence (permitting only transmutation and enchantment from licensed individuals out of necessity), and to burn tomes to make the arcane forgotten. Although local faiths are tolerated so long as they remain socially compliant, those adherent to the few remaining religious orders within the country are heavily scrutinized. The entirety of it's able bodied population is obligated to learn the pike or bow, and largely militarily relies on a small standing army of professional cavalrymen for offensive wars. Notably, it's adventuring parties take on the dual roles of secret police and protectors of the people.<br>

<br>
<b><u><span style="font-size: 18px">Government:</span></u></b><br>
The Great Hold of Mallen-Tol is ruled, on paper, by the Council of Guilds. The Council is composed of a couple dozen craftsmen guilds governing major industries within and around the hold. Guild Masters are normally nobles whose clan predominantly reside in a specific guild. The council appoints from its ranks a High Regnant to rule over the Hold, with advisement from the Council. The title of High Regnant lasts for a decade and the head of the Goldhaft clan suspiciously often is always elected to the position. While, on paper, each Guild Master is of equal status within the Council, due to the natural wealth of the Masonry Guild, Forge Guild, and Carpentry Guild, heavy influence and control orbit these specific Guild Masters.<br>
<br>
<b><u><span style="font-size: 18px">Religion:</span></u> </b><i>Erathism</i><br>
<br>
Erathism, a common religion among dwarves, holds that creation began in a void between warring deities. One specific deity named Erath was slain and his body crumbled, turning into stone and earth and his blood became water, spilling across the surface. While his body died, the soul of Erath began to fragment and flee outward. The hardening outer stone of his body caught the fragments, creating new life from within the cavernous pours - the Dwarven race. While Erath died, natural decomposition came forth, with other species growing on the surface - first grass, then animals, then other beings such as humans and elves and orcs. Because of this, Dwarves believe that all beings are <i>from </i>the dead god Erath, but dwarves are <i>of</i> Erath, having within them a portion of his soul. With this in mind, mining and forging metal is a religious practice of working and molding the remains of their god.  Due to the belief of being derived from the rock of the earth, to be called to have a "stone-cold heart" is an endearing, friendly compliment unlike in other cultures.<br>
<br>
<b><u><span style="font-size: 18px">Background:</span></u></b><br>
The dwarves of Mallen-Tol migrated to the southern mountains of the Adelram Empire in the year 6731, fleeing harsh life in the northern wastes and seeking fresh mountains in which to live. With the mountains sparsely populated by Adelram humans and the rulers believing a permit of colonization as vassals would create a strong dwarven buffer between themselves and the peripheral of the empire, the dwarves began to settle the mountains.  Several major holds were carved out of the stone over the next several years, with the Serene Hold of Mallen-Tol officially founded in 6746. The holds remained mostly to themselves and isolated, leaving them mostly unscathed during the fall of the Adelram Empire. But as years of passed, the hold kings began to realize the potential of strength versus the now weaker outside world.<br>
<br>
Mallen-Tol, breaking precedent, began to colonize the surface of its mountain as well as its underground. The Carpentry Guild began felling trees and building excellent woodwork craftsmanship that other dwarven holds only have through trade with humans.  Despite its breaking of tradition with surface dwellings, majority of the dwarves of Mallen-Tol still live within the mountain. While most dwarven holds of the mountain range are isolated completely, Mallen-Tol with its proximity to the eastern rivers, have limited trade ties to the people living in the valleys there.<br>

<b><span style="font-family: 'tahoma'"><span style="font-size: 22px">Background</span></span></b><br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Courgeaux was not always a land in its own right, tied to its own nation and people. Before it was Courgeaux it was the land of whoever had lived there, and before that the 'no-go-zone' of a long-gone empire. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 15px">It is a place with thousands of years of history, but this chapter of its story only began some odd two hundred years ago with the consolidation of power into the hands of Silvain I, known as 'the Godheaded'. The kings of Courgeaux were not always the masters of the realm, though their vassals might pretend as much. Even today, the sovereignty of the landowning lord is a reality to contend with for the eminent monarchy of Courgeaux. Despite this extant division of power, the ages of infighting and feudal proprietoral warfare have long passed. Courgeux has a people now to enforce the realm's peace, and they have greater enemies beyond her pockmarked and indistinct borders.</span></span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Government: The Fifteen (Kratocracy/Plutocracy)<br>
Religion: None<br>
Background: </b><br>
<i>Tainted, unpure and unworthy in the eyes of their former masters the Kazirian Legion was formed on the backs of former Elven slaves, concubines and their mixed-species offspring. For a great many years these people had no nation of their own and were either forced to live in poverty or as nomads, if not resort to crime. A small group however eventually found their salvation on the northern plains.<br>
<br>
Settling at a river the Kazirian Legion- named after a great Elven warhost- pooled its knowledge together to create a sanctuary for half-bloods much like themselves. Over the years they have managed to master the art of siege warfare as well as the art of repelling sieges, making their mercenaries very sought-after for lords and counts alike fearing an imminent attack on their keep.<br>
<br>
This business fuels the Legion with the wealthiest, strongest and most cunning members leading the people. To the Legion politics are irrelevant- what truly matters is coin and gold. When they are not busy scaling walls or reinforcing battlements Kazirian sellswords can often be found protecting wealthy caravans which is a testament to their skill rather than their blood.<br>
<br>
Because of their expertise the Legion have formed a strong bond with the nearby New Heldon monasteries with the Legion often working to repair or enhance the Heldonian fortresses in exchange for riches.<br>
<br>
Now with the Adelram Empire in ruins the Kazirian Legion look south towards new business opportunities.</i><br>

<i>Ren Rimitiriua Rehanga in the traditional attire of the Paere, worn for his inauguration as Aliki of Meridol, in show of solidarity of the new explorations into their past</i><br>

<br>
<u>Government</u><br>
Elective monarchy with an aristocratic political organ (capital Octopon)<br>
<br>
<u>Religion</u><br>
Rakau Spiritualism<br>
<br>
<u>Background</u><br>
While the realm of Meridol retains its name, there have been many eras within the history of the Paere, and entering the 8th millennium, the current era in Paere history has largely seen a contraction of its connections with the outside world. Aristocratic paranoia seen with the realm's previous expansion caused worry when regarding the stability of the government, specifically theirs. Rather than investing in security measures or perhaps even educating fellow sprightes, a motion was proposed on the floor of the Fono, as to prevent the devolution of power into the hands of less intellectual, but stronger sprightes. The motion passed, and with it, the Paere turned inwards, abandoning their control of the coast and retreating to the island, maintaining more absolutist control over a growing sense of inequality and oppression within society. Nearly a millennia after this motion was passed however, a new era of change seems to be approaching - the election of Ren Rimitiriua Rehanga coincided with a motion that was passed on the floor of the Fono which began a reversion of the trends which had taken place.<br>
<br>
In this new era, of rights slowly regained, an exploration into philosophy and mythology had manifested - philosophy had slowly been developing with the Piskes, and just recently the Albes too, but now they had reached the Paere masses, leading to an explosion of thought, quickly spreading to all. When regarding mythology, and to that extent, religion, the sprightes did not lend as much to their religious knowledge as the other beings in the world did, looking at it very casually. While they hadn't had gods in the traditional sense, they did have many powerful beings and legendary characters whom taught lessons, from diversity and fighting against unquestioned conformity, to the exploration of morality beyond the basic black and white, such as blue and orange, and many shades of grey. With the explosion of philosophy, many had taken a second look towards the oral tales, epics and lessons given to them within their faith; this would also manifest within the area of aesthetics, especially as the microcultures which had developed in the region provided an additional source of inspiration, now co-opted by the developing mass culture of the realm. All this would manifest in a realization on the island's self-sufficiency, and thus, an interest to once more explore the world.<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">The Northern goblins prior to the fall of the Adelram Empire were a crumbling race. They had slowly but surely been pushed further and further North to avoid being entirely wiped out by the expanding human nation. This changed following the collapse of the Stormstrum Dynasty and the goblins began to regroup under the authority of larger and larger tribes. Eventually, these tribes began to form social networks that encouraged one centralized leader to emerge. This leader was the ancestor of Kard, and henceforth the Kards have the title of Old to show that they believe they are the oldest unbroken goblin line in existence. <br>
<br>
The goblins, left to their own devices, experimented with trade and culture. In the past, most goblins had lived like savages due to the slow movement North restricting their ability to settle down. Without the Adelram Empire to continue this practice, however, the Goblins began to develop a semblance of settled societies, though some goblins preferred to retain a nomadic lifestyle. With these handful of settled societies, came limited trade and the development of basic industry. This paradigm of settled lifestyle came into conflict with the nomadic goblins who were used to pillaging other races settlements for items and weapons that their own people were now producing themselves. Instances of goblins raiding other goblin settlements occurred increasingly frequently until in 6927, Kard's grandfather raised a militia and crushed the resistance of the lesser goblin nomads, forcing the major tribes to recognize his authority. Since that time, slowly but surely developed a recognizable goblin society. It was named Northlin in no small part due to the society being located in the North.<br>
The goblins never created villages and towns in the sense that a human might immediately understand. Their population centers are massive piles of stacked rock and stone that appear as artificial mounds and hills, honeycombed on the inside with rooms, tunnels, and chambers. Other goblins decided to live underground in a dwarf-like manner, though their qualitiy was much less than the dwarves own. <br>
<br>
Just because they had more or less settled down, did not mean that they were civilized. Slavery is still common in the goblins society. Besides free labor, the goblins require subjects for their ritualistic blood magic.<br>
<br>
Kard, born in 6962 is the current ruler of the goblins. Kard has made it his quest to unite all of the Northern goblins under a central authority so that they can establish a lasting empire of their own and ensure they will never fall so close to extinction again.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Faction Name: Riflheim<br>
Flag: a few lions dancing around a fire, will draw later (swear down, posting from mobile). <br>
Date of Foundation: An old, core province of the fallen empire. <br>
Leaders: Wilhelm the Black<br>
Notable Members(Optional):<br>
- Lucan Von Redbeak<br>
- The Burned Prophet <br>
- Reginald Von Stern <br>
Pictures(Optional):<br>
Government: Autocratic Hereditary Rule<br>
Religion: Phoenixinianism, ‘What was, shall be’.<br>
Background: One of the ancient human races, one of the proudest. Ruled for centuries by the Von Rosen-Bilderbung dynasty, it’s cities were once the jewel of the discovered world, glittering with the wealth of the entire continent in it’s possession or immediate grasp. Glory and riches granted to it by the old empire for it’s unique part in it’s early expansion. Yet it is the nature of wealth to produce laziness, decadence and, ultimately, degeneracy and social breakdown. The history of Riflheim is hence one of the wider empire. What once made this country great has long since disappeared, while the entrenched aristocracy plot intrigue over the remaining scraps of their past glories, technological secrets and dwindling fortunes. If there is anything to be said in it’s favour, it is that through its semi-able autocratic leadership, it at least avoided the fate of many of the old provinces of the empire.  <br>
<br>
But all is not lost. Victor the younger, a son of one of the ancient families, through his own public immolation, changed everything. He walked through fire, turned himself to ash and emerged the other side a new man. The burned prophet. His burgeoning new religion speaks for a return to greatness... and the message he preaches he has found a keen follower in Wilhelm Von Rosen-Bilderbung, the black. Together can they turn the decline of this once proud nation around? Is such a feat possible?</div>

<br>
<br>
<b>Government: </b><br>
<br>
Absolute power lies with the High Lord of the Korkari. This title is held until the holder’s death, at which point the position is then vacated. At this point a gather of the tribal chieftains occurs, at times of peace this will be at the stronghold of the previous High Lord, on campaign however it will occur at the main military camp. Each Chieftain gets a single vote, and any Chief may put him or herself forward to be nominated as the next High Lord, the winner is by an absolute majority, and so on occasions where this is not achieved in the first round of votes, a second round will be held with the 2 most popular candidates.<br>
<br>
Absolute power lies with the High Lord, in terms of military and foreign affairs, as well as the overarching laws of the Land. However, the Korkari nation is still very much de-centralised, and the individual Chieftains are largely responsible for the day to day running of the land and their tribes.<br>
<br>
<b>Religion:</b> Korkari Animism<br>
<br>
The Korkari are a pragmatic people, this can be seen in their architecture, their values, and their religion is no difference. Priests in a traditional sense quite simply do not exist, the Korkari seeing no sense in a person's sole job being simply spiritual given the hardships of the mortal world. Instead worship is conducted on a smaller scale amongst families or traditional tribal groups, led by the matriarch or patriarch of said group, and whilst they honour the Gods they do not call upon boons or favours, instead viewing their own success achieved by their own hands as symbols of the Gods’ favours, helping those who help themselves, once again a product of their harsh home.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Ancestor worship is present in almost all homes, from a couple of candles and figures in peasant huts, to entire rooms in the homes of Lords. Their belief is that when Korkari die, as long as they have lived a life honouring their history and their ancestors, they shall join them on the other plain, a place of heroes and great deeds. If however they are not judged worthy, having betrayed their ancestors or otherwise besmirched the Korkari name, then they shall simply be forgotten, snuffed out like a candle in the darkness, with none to sing their names or their deeds, simply consigned to oblivion. They have no chief or principle deity, but instead believe in a vast and expansive pantheon of gods and goddesses, each one very much present in nature, in the hills and valleys, rivers and mines. The only named deity which they have is ‘The First Chieftain’, a figure shrouded in myth and legend. According to their histories he or she (Accounts vary) was a mortal Korkari Highlander, special in no way, no gifts from the gods or unnatural boons. However through his/her talents and sheer strength of will and might, they originally united the tribes over 2000 years ago (According to Korkari scripture), and through such deeds and achievements achieved such a place of high esteem in collective Korkari memory, that they achieved a form of godhood. Though they do not believe ‘The First Chieftain’ to be an active god in the realms of men, they see this as a level to aspire to, and to work towards such goals as they achieved.<br>
<b><br>
Background:</b><br>
<br>
The Korkari Highlands have been occupied by the Korkari for thousands of years, it is their ancestral home, and though many have come claiming ownership and rule over both them and the Land they have learnt that there is a very big difference between claiming and exercising rule. The Korkari are rough, hardy and stubborn as mules, this is something built up by their own homeland, the Highlands made of rolling hills, rugged outcrops and windswept moors, easy living it is not.<br>
<br>
There are not cities or anything really larger than a mid-sized town in the Highlands, there simply not being enough flat room to build such an urban centre, as well as the fact that even though for hundreds of years now the tribes have been united under a single leadership, the tribes still tend to keep themselves to themselves apart from when gathered in times of war or strife. This lack of urban development is also due to their geographical position, whilst they’re close proximity to the wilds of the north has resulted in a militarised society, seen in the large presence of fortifications, whether this be castles or fortified manors, the periods of raiding and warfare with the tribes and creatures to the north has not really allowed a build up of infrastructure and urban development. Whilst there may not be much in the way of industrialisation, one of the main sources of income however is from the various mines dotted around the foothills, the main minerals being mined being iron and silver, as well as their being several major quarries famed for the high quality stone that they mine, and has been used chiefly for the various Korkari fortifications.<br>
<br>
The Korkari are highly territorial, the tribes easily stirring in times of invasion, their lightly armoured troops well suited for the rugged terrain they call home, excelling such combat, many a heavily armoured force have entered the Highlands, only to be bogged down and massacred in the mud and rain, unable to bring any cavalry to bear in the rugged terrain.<br>

<i>Age of Despair <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/sanctuarii-modified-jpg.583911/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/520/520871-e4aaedf4082492cab23a3e6e931c8e52.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="583911" title="583911" width="47" height="100" loading="lazy"></a></i><br>
<br>
Centuries before the arrival of the Heldon Angels in Nasroth, their realm and world had become an increasingly unstable environment. The rivalries of the gods they served and lived under had always existed; however, several incidents concerning the protection of lost souls, mortal plane kingdoms, and the assassination of a minor god sparked a flame which would race to engulf their entire existence and bring about centuries of instability and strife. Towards the end, Heldon suffered under decades of pure, relentless conflict and disaster. Most kingdoms, empires, nations, and states owed allegiance to one god or another. Some alliances were millennia old, while others constantly shifted. At the beginning of the Age of Despair, a break down of a single key long-time alliance between the goddess of light and god of flames rocked the power basis of several imperial hegemons, quickly turning three continents into hellish warzones. The angels, natives to a land of scattered fortresses and city-states known as Heldon, had long served as crusaders and warriors for the Circle of Raygon and were soon brought into the war at the very beginning. This was not unusual or unfamiliar to them. The Jinshay peoples, a prosperous race of mortals at the forefront of the war, would not be the first they fought - and exterminated. Long had the gods used the angels as executioners for mortals and immortals alike who had crossed boundaries.<br>
<br>
War soon turned into devastation, and devastation into an apocalypse. As the races were grounded under the heel of the warring gods, both sides began to utilize hazardous powers to reinforce their leadership and preserve their standing. The Massacre at Anor Sanctus catapulted the gods and goddesses of death to unimaginable levels of power, leading them to brutalize their opposition and link the entire continent of Dorelia to the immortal realm of the dead. Elsewhere, marauding demons created their own parodies of civilizations on the foundation of dead empires and exterminated peoples, only to fall to stronger demons who did the same until the very land was unfit for the growth of any possible life.<br>
<br>
Heldon suffered most under the Plague of Ash. By the time war had reached their region, many had succumbed to this incurable plague. All life afflicted by this unnatural sickness gradually turn to stone and ash, leaving many suffering for days or weeks as their bodies disintegrate. The natural environment, fields and forests, crops and grass, all suffered similarly until the very landscape melted away into lifeless, grey ash. The cities which remained were hollow husks, where the survivors fought among themselves for whatever scraps of nourishment were left.<br>
<br>
The angels who had been away in the crusades, ironically, would become the survivors when their allegiance to their gods were utterly shattered by their own hands. Finally free to act of their own accord, they fought not to sustain the world they lived in, but to escape it. Hundreds of thousands fought for the purpose of escaping their dying world, with untold sacrifices being made at every step.<br>
<br>
The trauma of the lost heroes and countless souls to this day have corrupted the psyche of the angels to the point of causing physical manifestations of grief and resentment. Horns only seen in devils and demons, for example, soon appeared on the angels. The collective body of purebloods and half-breeds - even nearly two generations after their escape to Nasroth - still suffer from inescapable nightmares of their ancestors. This particular affliction of being haunted by visions, or dreams, of the past is known simply as the Misery. All angels are expected to undergo at least a single major episode of the Misery, but it has driven some angels into insanity as well; the madness itself is often precipitated by nausea, tears of blood, and wailing - all factors which further erode the minds of the afflicted and those there to witness it. Gods and any notions of them are wholly shunned, and the Heldon Angels rely only on the divinity of themselves and their ancestors as bodies of spiritual power.<br>

<b>Government:</b> Absolute monarchy<br>
<br>
<b>Religion:</b> Innleysticism<br>
<br>
Innleysticism, the most common of the Elvish religions, stipulates that Maegon chose to leave this plane of existence in order to punish his creations, the Elven, for failing to live up to their noble birthright as children of God. It is believed that through the successful pursuit of Redemption, the Elven may yet again prove themselves worthy of Maegon’s presence, and in so doing invite his triumphant return to the mortal plane. The religion places heavy emphasis on individual and collective self-betterment, social responsibility and personal ambitiousness.<br>
<br>
<b>Background:</b><br>
<br>
Nearly a decade after the wars between Adelram and the Elven Kingdoms began, it was clear to all participants that Adelram would emerge the victor. The Elven found themselves vastly outnumbered on land and at sea, and capitulation appeared close at hand. In a desperate attempt to buy themselves time and weaken the enemy’s position, the Elven coalition leaders ordered Grand Admiral Boreon to take what remained of the coalition navy and sail up the channel which divided Numerya from Kazarok in order to cut off the enemy’s supply lines, for as long as was necessary, or more likely, until the navy was destroyed.<br>
<br>
Because the order was a suicide mission, and most likely a pointless one, Boreon refused. The Elven leadership responded by demanding his immediate dismissal, so that a new Admiral may be appointed to carry out the task expected of him. Rather than oblige, Boreon made the various captains of his navy aware of the leadership’s designs. When given the choice between treason and certain death, the crews of the coalition navy opted for treason. In doing so, they had effectively sealed Numerya’s fate.<br>
<br>
Understanding the precariousness of their situation as a navy without a port, Boreon immediately swung the fleet westward. Using the under trained but not incapable mariners as an invasion force, the Admiral first encircled then occupied the southernmost of the Elven Isles. Then, fearing possible retaliation by the Elven kingdoms of Numerya, he consolidated his position through invasions of the northern and eastern isles. The petty kingdoms and minor tribes of the Archipelago put up little to no resistance against the hardened sailor-army, most especially not once faced with the magic of the fleet’s naval combat mages, repurposed for laying siege and devastating structures rather than open-sea combat. All the while, the intact navy ensured that this consolidation of power went uninterrupted.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, the Elven Kingdoms had continued to suffer crushing defeat after crushing defeat at the hands of the human armies, who now lay poised to wash over the remaining kingdoms like a plague. Fearing what was to come, tens of thousands of Elven from all over Numerya sought to flee westward. Wealthy traders, artisans and aristocrats were willing to pay enormous sums of money for passage to the isles. Admiral Boreon used this influx of funds, along with the pre-existing governmental infrastructure of the occupied territories, to develop the state institutions required for cohesive political organization throughout the isles. Thus the kingdom of Brotinnstao was born, just as kingdoms across the sea were being beaten to death to the sound of Adelram’s marching drums.<br>
<br>
    With long life spans comes long memories and even today in the Elven halls of the continent the kingdom of Brotinnstao is rarely spoken of without an accompanying mix of disgust and contempt. Diplomacy with the other Elven kingdoms is so strained and toxic as to prove nearly impossible. King Boreon earned the title Boreon “The Betrayer” for his role in the desertion of the Elven navy, and there are many elves who see the kingdom as little more than a nation of illegitimate cowards and cheats.<br>
<br>
    Since early into the past century Brotinnstao’s second king has come to power, King Vinur, and with his inauguration there had been hopes of reconciliation with the mainland. These hopes unfortunately proved futile. Under Vinur the kingdom’s future seems nevertheless hopeful in other ways, as he has taken full advantage of the country’s geographic positioning at the mouth of the Alorn Sea. For decades now Brotinnstaoan merchants have been engaging in barter with the tribes inhabiting the northwest coastline of Numerya. Brotinnstao provides food, tools and base materials in exchange for furs, shells, pearls and exotic animals. The exchanges cost the kingdom pennies on the dollar. Those goods, with the help of the country’s merchant navy, are then transported south to the kingdoms of Mesados, where they are sold at a great profit. The gains from this and other trade routes allows the island nation to support the navy required to keep itself safe.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b>Background Lore: The Establishment of Law and Order in Rainbow Grotto</b><br>​</div>Rainbow Grotto, at first glance, is a quaint unassuming town that after fifty years has grown into somewhat of a regional commercial center. Fishermen and farmers from the nearby rivers bring fresh meat, fish, and cereal to feed the fledgling population and woodsmen from the surrounding mountains bring down lumber and furs. But below the surface fences sell stolen goods to unassuming customers, mercenaries settle down and find work in between contracts, and rumors of assassins and bandits laying low in the town are as rampant as ever.<br>
<br>
So how did this commune of enlightenment seeking gnomes turn into such a motley assortment of brigands, thieves, and killers alongside farmers, merchants, and lumberjacks? The answer it seems is a bit more convoluted than worth telling, but we will try anyways. When the gnomes first settled down alongside the forested grove that would become their home they had very important problems on their plate. Firstly, what’s going to be on those plates, secondly how were they going to run the show from their sanctuary in the middle of the forest. <br>
<br>
The first answer was simple, alongside their love for mushrooms they soon found beans and peanuts grew well in the soil, and they could harvest chestnuts from the surrounding trees. Fish could easily be caught in the nearby streams and other crops could be imported or planted later on. However governance was a sticky issue. Under the leadership of ‘Elder Zeek’ and his fellow wayfaring ‘Elders’ they decided that their society should be a utopia with no restrictions on personal freedoms and the ability for everyone to have a voice in how society was run.  They established the four laws of Rainbow Grotto: ‘No killin, no rapin, no stealin, and no arse!’ The last clause was interpreted as no arson as Zeek was suffering from what appeared to be slurred speech at the time. <br>
<br>
For the first couple decades things were quiet and peaceful in the hamlet as gnomes began to be born and slowly matured to become the first generation born in the safe haven. However it would not be a gnome exclusive settlement for very long. News of a settlement with few laws and an enticing ‘experience’ for newcomers to partake in brought many people dissatisfied with their societies to participate in the drug and sex filled lives Rainbow Grotto offered. Alongside them criminals soon flooded the town seeing it as a good hideout, very quickly these same fiends ignored the laws and nearly took over the town. <br>
<br>
Zeek, in one of his rare moments of coherency, was distraught at what had become of his paradise. Quickly, he rallied his gnome brethren and with their power combined...They managed to pool enough money together to hire mercenaries. These soldiers for hire became the ‘Rainbow Guard’ of the town and quickly oversaw the expulsion and massacre of hoodlums who wouldn’t obey the rules and helped construct the first walls and fortifications the town ever saw. Since then the Rainbow Guard have been the contracted guards and soldiers of the town that brutally suppress any riffraff who’d mess with the order of the town. <br>
<br>
In a stroke of odd foresight, Zeek and his council also oversaw the formation of a thieves guild to organize and keep the reigns on any hoodlums who entered the city, having them at hand to take back anything stolen within the walls and expose criminals breaking the laws inside. In return Rainbow Grotto would allow thieves and criminals to find safe refuge within the walls so long as they registered their activities and possessions with the guild upon entering and leaving the town. <br>
<br>
Things have been okay since then, not as good as the olden days when the town was first established on its utopian principals but law and order have more or less cemented themselves as a reality on this commune of Mushroom eaters.</div>

<i>1st Jann, 1st Day 7000</i><br>
And so it begins the new millennium, an age of uncertainty with the Adelram Empire fallen 120 years ago and new kingdoms forged out of the ashes. The wars between Humanity and the Elven Kingdoms have already played a huge part in Kazarok’s role. And although magic within the Human sphere has diminished greatly, all is not lost as scholars continue to teach inspired students within the College of Middburg. Those who wish to study magic travel to the Kingdom to learn in due time.  <br>
<br>
Now new societies have risen up, from humans striving to get by, dwarves celebrating in the mead halls, to vampires ruling their subjects. Spring is here, flora flourishing under the powerful Sunn, the Circle of Life. Trade is improving between the Arajyd and the City of Venita while the Heisen continues to consolidate power in the East.<br>

<i>Rainbow Grotto</i><br>
Sunn rose, spring time was here. The hares chewed on a turnip, entering a large hole in the dirt. But before the hare knew it, a red pointy hat hoisted the animal up, hopping onto the ground running away before someone grunted. A small hand grasped the dirt, rising as a gnome shielded his eyes from Sunn.<br>
<br>
“Hurry the heck up Oleever, those nuts aren’t going to grow themselves are they?!” A booming voice echoed underground, causing the gnome to get out of the home, wearing a blue shirt with brown pants to accommodate. An older but hardened gnome followed, contrasting with a brown shirt and blue pants. Oleever laughed a bit, seeing his father in a grumpy mood, adjusting his tool belt.<br>
<br>
“Settle Pop Pop, Sunn’s going to stay for a long while.” Oleever assured, walking towards the woods with his father as they saw a few gnomes leave out of their dirt holes, bringing their tools such as hammers and scythes for their farms. Pop Pop waved towards one of the distant neighbors, “Good morning Snaps.” Pop Pop said, receiving a wave back from Snaps who wore a green hat.<br>
<br>
“Hello Pop Pop, better make sure the nuts are tended to. Meanwhile our beans are coming along well. I heard old Zeek’s been a little obsessive about the mushrooms lately.”<br>
<br>
“As always.”<br>

<i>Gromm’s Tribe</i><br>
On the grasslands of Kazarok are native animals such as the perry dog. The animal was immediately impaled by a spear, a lone humanoid marched, lifting the animal with his spear. The red orc growled in frustration, looking how much meat was on the mammal. He turned back to the camp, walking at least one mile until he saw the large number of tents and huts. At least a dozen orcs were carrying wood and hide to set up more housing for their people.<br>
<br>
He saw a familiar face, a red orc draped in war clothing. The orc gestured outwards.<br>
<br>
“Gurak, you finally decide to help us with the tents?” He acted coy, walking up to his friend, clashing into an arm shake.<br>

“Karth, bothersome as always.” Gurak nodded, eyes switched to the fire pit started by the young orcs. “How are the others holding up? We’ve been working fast already.” Gurak said as him and Karth took a walk. Karth sighed a load of relief they didn’t have to settle in the extreme climate anymore.<br>
<br>
“Gromm told us it was simple, we set up the huts until everyone is here. Any animals we find goes to the butchers. I heard they were planning a feast.” Gurak mentioned as he patted on a running orc boy’s head, chased by other kids.<br>

<i>New Heldon</i><br>
The country of New Heldon are mostly rural areas with small towns on lower elevations while the Fortress-Monasteries were usually called the stone-keeps by the human peasants. A young girl sat on a large boulder, overlooking the distant Fortress built centuries ago, the architecture resembling the old ones her family told in stories. Alice sighed, attempting to concentrate on her meditation while her dog tried to jump on top but to no avail.<br>
<br>
“Alice! How’s it going?” A male voice shouted behind her, as she turned around to see her human friend below. He wore a brown sleeved tunic and black trousers, sporting messy short hair. Alice giggled, turning away to observe the view again.<br>
<br>
“Hello there Ryden. What’s going on?” Alice asked. Ryden stared at the fortress, leaning to the side of the boulder. “Taking a break. For a little that is, til me and my father start sowing wheat. Growing season’s coming. I hope the Angels are merciful and just this year.” He prayed to himself as Alice gave a frown.<br>
<br>
“Don’t worry Ryden, my father’s a kind man. He wouldn’t let your village suffer in peacetime. He’d understand, at least when I talk sense into him.”<br>
<br>
“Oh I don’t doubt that Alice. Sometimes I say stupid things really. It’s weird to believe castles are that big. I heard they’re still building more.”<br>
<br>
“Yeah…” Alice muttered, jumping off the boulder as her small wings helped her down. Her dog pressed his paws on her hands, panting. “Good boy. I’ll see you later Ryden.” Alice and her pet waved at Ryden, traveling to her home where her family lived. Her father was Jon Falwell, Head of the Manor. He was a Pure Angel just like the elite nobles in the fortresses while her mother was human, who died giving birth to her. Alice saw the household guard standing. She entered the large two-story manor as the guards recognized her, letting her in...<br>

<i>Everyn’s Road</i><br>
“Keep walking, we’re getting close to the next stop.” A male raised his voice, waving his gloved hand over to his companion. Two men wore brown brigandine over their clothing, just ahead of a small merchant wagon. The merchant in question was a male in his forties, homely accompanied by a big beard<br>
<br>
“Just a few more miles gentlemen, you won’t have to worry about wildlife out here.” The merchant assured as one of the sellswords sighed, holstering his short sword while the other shot a glare.<br>
<br>
“Anders, relax. The only danger we actually came across were feral wolves and a few bandits. The old man said it himself. We head to this town and we can enjoy a cup of ale.” His sellsword friend cheered him up as Anders shook his head, clenching the grip of the sword. The merchant laughed, “Aye, I’ve been to this town before and it is well protected by the people here. Unfortunately, they frown upon hired swordsmen, but ignore it that’s not the worse thing.”<br>
<br>
“People? No lords or a King ruling this land?” The young sellsword asked to the merchant, shaking his head, “Never seen them. But I can tell you, it’s very good for business: no merchant taxes, high demand of goods and they don’t hate you. Well if you’re magical they will.” He explained as they turned to the left direction, heading to the dirt road as the scenery slowly revealed a small sized town. Whatever arable land there was were already being tended to by farmers, sowing seeds and cutting weeds.<br>
<br>
Anders narrowed his eyes, observing the farms as his friend snored. “In my experience, free doesn’t last long. But I suppose it’s better than Hildegard’s policy.” Anders said.<br>
<br>
“Why do the people hate magic and gods here?” The young sellsword asked to Anders who focused on the dirt road ahead.<br>
<br>
“From a commoner’s point of view, a person with magic is a dangerous person. A man’s religion forced on his fellows controls what they believe in. Someone like that in this land wouldn’t be welcomed. <br>

<i>Surface of Mallen-Tol</i><br>
Within the mead hall on the surface, a pair of brothers clash their pints as a few bards played music in the background. The brother Lars had a large red beard, groomed neatly while the other Luron wore his black beard unkempt. They simply talked about their lives as each day to night was working.<br>
<br>
“Hurry it up will ya? Do I have to buy you a drink just so you can end your turn already?” Lars asked as they sat facing each other playing a board game while Luron smirked.<br>
<br>
“Well I thought you wanted me to go faster, not go slower. Quit rushin’, you got another 300 years anyways.” Luron insisted, finally making a move by pressing the knight forward, receiving a sigh from his brother.      <br>
<br>
“I heard the traders have been mentioning Elf activity. Something about heading into Kazarok. It could be a big problem later on.” Luron stated towards Lars. Lars slowly raised an eyebrow, planting his next piece elsewhere. “Okay, what’s the problem?” Lars said.<br>
<br>
“I’m just saying. We’re heading into interesting times. Adelram Empire ain’t there to protect the men and women from those elfs. Beasts are coming in from the north. Sooner or later Duergor’s gonna have to act.” <br>
<br>
“Not our problem anymore. I’ve seen too many brothers and sisters meet Erath just because some ambitious empire decided to go hunting and for what?” Lars shot a look of frustration, switching his energy towards his brother. They both sat silently until Lars spoke up, “Whatever it is, until the day they come in here and march on our home I’ll be waiting to put an axe up their arses.”<br>

House Castevès holds its title of a county from the capital Serene Navire, running rural lands as the Noble House rules over a castle. Lord Edward observed his children playing in the yard, a hand pressed over his wife’s shoulders. He saw his younger son Jean fight his sister with a wooden sword. His older daughter shifted to the side, the end of the sword close to Jean’s forehead.<br>
<br>
“You’re supposed to parry Jeane. Try again.” Kathyrn said irritated, tapping on the sword twice on reflex while her brother rolled his eyes. Edward and his wife Alysanne chuckled before he turned seeing his eldest son Karl march towards him. Karl made a bow in respect, sporting a brown cloak, brigandine underneath.<br>

“Father, Mother.” Karl greeted.<br>

Edward embraced his son, then looking over his children in the yard. He saw how agile Kathryn was every time Jean made an attack. “Your sister’s getting better with the sword. You taught her well.” He said as Karl shot a smile, folding his arms. “She’s got a lot to learn. If Jean wasn’t so stubborn all the time, he’d put up a fight.”<br>

<i>Stronghold of the Legion</i><br>
Within the stronghold of the Legion were three members sent for caravan duty, a merchant wagon containing supplies for New Heldon which was good enough for them. So far they had history working with the Monasteries. The others practiced shooting arrows in hay dummies while some played cards. The veteran Theovin Rodove strapped his water pouch to his belt, putting on his gambeson and the scabbard.<br>
<br>
His two companions wore similar armor, the female sporting mail armor. She wore her hair short like a boy’s, done by the local barber while the other was male, adorned with a coat of plates.<br>
<br>
“Looks like we’re about ready. Once the merchant tells us it’s time, we’re leaving. Yvlahne stick with the merchant, watch the trees. Stephon, you’ll be our back boy. And don’t fall for the bait again.” Theo shot a warning glare at the young merc, shrugging it off as horse playing.<br>
<br>
“Only a few miles from here, we’d be better off finding abandoned villages for plunder for fuck’s sake.” Stephon exclaimed, hand on the grip waiting for the greenlight while Theo walked to the merchant. Stephon turned to Yvlahne, “I’m starting to think that was a glamor or something. Looked pretty old after we killed her.” Once she realized he was talking about the aforementioned bait, Yvlahne blinked, little to come up with a response.<br>
<br>
“Magic most likely. Users whenever they like to set a trap place an illusion, I don’t blame you though. But I do think you should have listened to Rodove more. He’s only there to protect us.” She folded her arms, seeing Stephon flare up out of annoyance.<br>
<br>
“I don’t need counseling. We’ve survived a ton a shit before, I know what I’m doing. That last contract could have been better but we lived didn’t we?” Stephon said but recognized he raised his voice. Yvlahne gave a look of pity til Stephon sighed.<br>
<br>
“Doesn’t matter anymore. At least we’re doing alright.”<br>

Two Paeres sat down, a young one and an old one who are gazing upon the stars. Their heads laid down as they pondered. The old Paere pointed upwards, at a star. "You see that? I believe these are vast gods outside of our origin. Prestigious people." He chuckled receiving a look of skepticism from the younger paere.<br>
<br>
"I believe you're making that up. How about a better story Father? Save me the kid stuff." He exclaimed, leaving the old man to backpedal on his claim. "You're right, these aren't gods but rather massive gasses of something. I don't know." He shook his head. <br>

"You're really bad at this you know that?" The fairy turned his head to his father, shooting a weak smile while the old man shrugged in compliance. "I know I know." He admitted. The old man looked outwards, making a frown his son wouldn't really understand since he hasn't reached that age yet. But eventually he will.<br>
<br>
"The truth is that I'm not really like the others. I can't, what do they call it? Philosophize? When I was young they used to put me to work on building houses for the neighbors. I was a real socializer back then, but time went on and so did my friends. And now, all I have is you. I don't know what you plan to be, I don't know what you wish to do out there. But if you mind I give you some advice, well for starters: start thinking about working out. And secondly, there's no better friends than your people." The old man explained. He's witnessed a lot of stuff during his time and it was very important his son should at least know what he was going to do out there. The old man won't be around forever but his final years into this world was to teach his son all he knew.<br>

"I understand Father. I'll be sure to learn all there is on magic. And maybe workout." The son pointed out.<br>

“For centuries Riflheim was one of the greatest in all of Kazarok, flourishing in trade and culture. One of the powerhouses the Adelram Empire relied on for its wars.

<i>Korkari Foothill Mines</i><br>
“You know bread doesn’t taste bad with coal. Smells like shit but doesn’t feel too bad.” A group of miners was taking a twenty-minute break. They ate from grain and corn, gulping down on their fresh water pouches. One of the leaders named Bruze nodded, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He then turned around, seeing a few men wearing armor walking to their outpost. They were closing in pretty fast, urging Bruze to look confused.<br>
<br>
“Hey, get a load of this.” Bruze yanked his head. Several of the miners noticed the strangers by now, dropping their lunches and slowly come closer. There was about ten men, the middle guy shouting, “Morning.” Earning some suspicion. <br>
<br>
“Who are you?” Bruze questioned, asking a question at one of the mercenaries. The mercenary stood silent until he walked forward, the Korkari workers dubious. These mercs were wearing full plate armor, pretty expensive gear for a sellsword.<br>

“The Blitz Company. Protecting the people from danger. But protecting is an expensive profession that can only b-”<br>

“Orcs and monsters tend to be a hassle on villages. If we would to protect people like you. Compensation should be due.” The sellsword put it out there while the miners still had an idea what he was talking about. Bruze sneered, scratching his pudgy stomach.<br>
<br>
“And what compensation would that be?” Bruze asked.<br>
<br>
“You know what it is. If you keep on jerking us off I imagine this isn’t going to end well.” The situation grew dark, the sellsword grabbing the hilts of their weapons as the miners were still in their same spots, not making any moves or people running away. Bruze narrowed his eyes, more irritated than ever.<br>
<br>
“No I suppose not. So go on, get on with it. The people who are still alive will take off all that shiny armor and kick the shit out of you with it.” Bruze dared towards the ring leader, alerting a merc.<br>

Both sides realized the big mess that they were going to endure. But for the sellswords who were trying to fool a few civilians, these people weren’t budging. In fact, some of them were clenching their pick axes, eager to participate in their deaths if they had to. The ring leader stared at them, the miners outnumbering them a great deal. The sellsword sighed, shaking his head as he turned away to the opposite direction, his men following him.<br>

The Elven signed off a document using a ballpoint pen as his wife stepped into his chambers. Valaena marched til they faced each other, gaining his attention. His eyes turned to her, dressed in black plate armor detailed with silver trims.<br>
<br>
“Yes?”<br>
<br>
Valaena gave a stern look, “The crew is waiting Vaeron, they expect their Captain on duty. Put away the pen and let’s go.” She placed her hands behind her back like a soldier which he got used to quickly. Nevertheless, Vaeron set the pen to a holder, rising from the chair. Vaeron adjusted his captain’s uniform, blue and black. Through the hallway they passed by a large portrait of themselves, Vaeron sitting down while Valaena stood closer behind his chair, hands over his shoulders.<br>
<br>
One of the servants bowed as they went downstairs. Their household guard escorted them out of the tower, where they traveled to the seaport without trouble.<br>
<br>
As they observed their surroundings they saw many markets open in this morning, allowing civilians to purchase exotic such as the soft furs from Mesados or expensive silk from the Heisen. One of the Elven merchants was even waving paper around in an attempt to attract tourists.<br>
<br>
Heading to the docks was their sailing vessel, a three masted patrol ship designed for the sea. In front of them were the crew of the Young Lion, dressed in standard uniforms reflected from Brotinnstao’s colors. Each seafarer had stern faces, hands to their sides. Vaeron turned to his wife, nodding. Valaena marched towards the female column, taking her position.<br>
<br>
“Let it be known that the Brotinnstao Navy prides itself as the first and last line of defense our Kingdom has from our enemies. You are here to patrol and fight for our people, the most important jobs a seafarer has. You will address me as Captain Gaenar and treat me with the same respect as anyone else here. As we set sail, our services will be rewarded with valor and remembrance. You are the Kingdom’s shield. We are the first and only, Maegon’s children. Understood?” Vaeron demanded,<br>
<br>
“Yes Captain Gaenar!” Everyone shouted.<br>

<i>Unknown Place</i><br>
A hooded individual walked up to a mysterious jester, who was singing a rather bad tune. The jester turned to the guest, lighting up the candies in the entire room with a snap. The fireplace lit up, flames fueled intensely<br>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">“Ah. Hello there. Chances are if you came to see me, perhaps you’re more invested into this world than I thought. They call me Laughing Jack. Jack for short.”</span> He gestured.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">“Today we will be getting to know this world’s magic. Should you wish to understand if you want to conquer your enemies or become a legend, I’d listen.”</span> His eyes widened, adjusting his posture as he readied his lute. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">“Now then, let’s sing a song to it…” </span><br>
<br>
As people know across the world, magic is divided into eight circles. We will start off with some peasants calling the first four the positive sides, though a mischievous person would utilize what he has with him. Though there are a few things I should note: magic is taught from books, birth, or by a teacher. <br>
<br>
Elemental Magic is the act of manipulating the elements to your will. Why, the elements are all around us. The novice users use fire, water, earth and air to give an advantage. There’s also other elements involved such as metal, lightning. Only the foolest fools would know it’s hard to master one element, let alone all of them at once. I know you think we can all create something out of nothing, but the truth is all magic comes with a price. You think fire is made without warmth, your breath, or Sunn? Water’s a similar concept: lakes, sweat, rain, ice. All the same. But don’t kid yourself, controlling the sea is a good way to exert yourself.   <br>
<br>
Transmutation is the art of altering an object or a being into something else. Lead turning into gold is one good example. But if you do it too much, the Gold Magisters are going to come around to your house and beat your legs in with the financial textbooks. You are also expected to know the laws regarding the object which means you’d need to have a good idea what the object is, what you wish to do with it. The circle is a science in of itself that requires patience and practice.<br>
<br>
White Magic is the arts used for helping other people out of selfless act. These include but not exclusive to: healing, casting light, purifying water, exorcism. From my experience, every good Kingdom needs an experienced mage who practices in White Magic. Though there’s no hard evidence for this, it is said White Magic is more effective based on the purity and selfless of the user. Oh yes, did you know Vampires tend to stay away from these users? Fun thought.<br>
<br>
The last of the positive circles is Nature Magic, a skill dedicated to the natural world. Nature users rely upon the trees and flora to accelerate growth time, drain their life, protecting crops from wildlife. I’ve seen experienced users change the weather in minutes because of their skill and stamina.<br>
<br>
The last four to the peasants are negative circles, more destructive and generally seen as corruptive. I have heard in return they bring interesting side effects such as long life, healing wounds and great power. Despite this, I’ve witnessed kinder mages utilize these circles without restriction. But the temptation to use them could be very strong. <br>
<br>
Necromancy deals with bringing the dead back to a reanimated state, obedient and persistent. This magic works well in hand with Blood Magic as Vampires are real naturals at this stuff. Some sorcerers use this skill to drain life forces around them, getting younger and handsome. Practitioners also communicate with spirits to   Bringing the dead back to life as always has a price, meaning you’d need life to exchange for life, but it varies: A healthy horse for a group of skeletons? Easy. Bringing a human for another? Works well. But, be warned: What is dead will always be dead.   <br>
<br>
Conjuration allows users to summon beings from the other side, bringing things not of this world such as demons, headless riders and creatures we deem unnatural. I have seen summoners conjure the common wolf or even ghosts.<br>
<br>
Black Magic is the opposite of White Magic, darkness, self serving and meant to harm others. Witches tend to use this for rituals and religious worship. One of the common spells is possession that mind controls the target. Clever ones use it to inflict terrible curses on villages. Some people cast nightmares making people panic in seconds. This power is dark energy at its full potential, casting powerful beams and causing destruction. But I must remind you, this magic is uncontrolled and volatile for the common individual.<br>
<br>
Finally, we come forth and introduce Blood Magic, an art mages and sorcerers use to enhance themselves or others at the cost of blood. Blood users can also bind targets to their will. Fortune tellers use this magic to foresee visions of the past and future, how reliable I cannot say. Dark healers use blood to heal fatal wounds and diseases stronger than White Magic. Some scholars argue the health of the volunteer affects how strong the magic is compared to a diseased rat vs a healthy human being. I should note Blood Magic works well with Necromancy and Black Magic…<br>
<br>

	</div><br>​</div>Amid the rocky bluffs and plateaus of the forested valley sat a particularly stout and tall white stone outcropping, tallest of all the nearby stone formations like a lighthouse rising up from a foggy sea of green pine. The Fortress of the Undying Rose, the first to be structurally finished and the de facto capitol of New Heldon. Any other fortress could serve as the capitol, depending on who has been elected, but the adherents of the Order of the Undying Rose have a long tradition of raising angels to Sainthood - and eventual leadership of the nation. The fortress was home to more than one order, housing nearly a dozen of varying size within the labyrinth halls and chambers, with nearly all residents belonging to some particular order. A few - the solitaires - choose no order or brotherhood, and instead live on as their own individual.  <br>
<br>
Tonight, the fortress was a hive of light, music, and activity. Colored lanterns were drawn from window-to-window, or across rocky precipices. Banners and flags decorated the doorways and stout halls, shrouding the walls in a rainbow variety of allegiances. Music - often tunes and songs of the ancient world they had long left - echoed hauntingly throughout the marbled chambers. It was a new year by the calendar of this world, and with some minor calculations, the old calendar of their homeland was capable of fitting the timeline. It was pointless to live off of a calendar no one else used, but for celebrations it was always there, one of many inescapable symbols of the past. While they couldn't count days with it, they could still mark the eras they emerged through, and this was a particularly important one - the first new era in this new world, after seven centuries.<br>
<br>
The festivities extended all throughout the fortress, around New Heldon, and even into the human villages under the shadow of the angelic castles. Here, the banquet and main hall was open to all subjects of Saint Elise, and for many humans this was a rare chance to stand among the most powerful angels in existence. All orders in some capacity were present, save for the twin witch orders of the Black Briars and the Whispering Veil who never attended a public celebration and instead kept to their darkened manors.<br>
<br>
"Another marvelous celebration, Elise. Leave it to the children of the Rose to show elegance in all things," said Silas Dondaron, of the Vengeful Blood Consorts. Saint Elise fixed him with a warm smile and took his hand in hers as they strode through the party. It wasn't unusual for an unwed Saint to demonstrate intimate favoritism, often with many various suitors, but it was also an expression of confidence - not just between Elise and Silas, but for all present to know that Silas Dondaron was indeed worthy of his status as Prefect, leader of the military.<br>
<br>
"I could hardly do anything less. First day of the Crimson Era?" Elise said wryly. "Either it will be a celebration ushering in a period of greatness, or the accompanying ill omen means today marks the last of our golden days. That said, I am... optimistic. Our foundation for survival has been secured. The first generations to be born wholly of this world are already walking among us. Every day progress continues on the next fortress, and expansion never ends for those already completed. Our world will endure..."<br>
<br>
"...but will it prosper?" Silas finished. It had been a question of growing importance for years. Their parents had worked with fervent diligence to ensure that they had an anchor to this new world, a place of safety from the potential horrors that lurked on the horizon. That vision was now completed, and they had learned that the horrors they expected were not out there, or if they were, they were dormant or too distant. To their south were vampires, and their relations with them had been distant but neither cold. Potential allies, but their lands were key for expansion, as some commanders suggested. The Kazirian Legion were just to their north, their oldest and only allies in this world. An interesting breed of people, undoubtedly, and the stories they told provided much to fill in what they did not know of these lands. There were a number of other promising countries nearby, but aside from the distant human nations across the mountains, they knew little else of what occurred out there.<br>
<br>
"I anticipate it is time for us to spread our wings, and see what lays ahead. I feel that as we stand now, we're little better than the Vislani."<br>
<br>
"The Vislani... an interesting comparison. Warlords of the Shards. A shame we don't collect the tithe they managed to scrape off every traveler moving through their guarded passes. My father always described them as the most well armed thieves in the world. Its fortunate none of them made it to this world with us. They'd strangle all trade within fifty miles of their keeps," Elias chuckled. <br>
<br>
"That they would. And like the Vislani, our trade is... limited. We have our castles and fortresses, and few travelers willingly come to our lands. That needs to change. I... we... our vision has always been of a <i>new</i> Heldon. The land of our ancestors is something we have only seen in dreams and in stories, and we are all trapped looking back to that. I don't think we will ever escape that, not with the curse, either, but the young ones today... they will be the first ones to look forward into lands we have <i>never</i> seen before. Our parents laid the foundation, and we built the roof. Now its time to leave the safety of our homes and grow. Grow and become a land worthy of the pride of our forefathers."<br>
<br>
Those nearby the pair had grown quiet, intent to listen to the passionate words of their Saint. The angels felt the words with far deeper emotion than any human could know, but even the men and women of mankind could feel the energy of something hopeful for their future. A cheer went up for Saint Elise, which quickly spread throughout the entire chamber. Oaths were made and renewed among the gleam of liquor glasses, and proposals were excitedly made between excited minds. This was not just a celebration for the sake of a date on a calendar - it was a celebration for things to come. <br>
<br>
Elise turned back to Silas when the excitement began to simmer enough for her to turn her attention away from the masses. "We've already selected some ambassadors and clerks to facilitate their efforts. It is better to make friends than enemies, for now, but if we must...."<br>
<br>
Silas bowed low, his blood red cloak billowing around his lean form. "The swords and spears are yours, my Saint. You command and they shall go."</div>

Atop his chieftain's den Gromm could view the sea of tents that dotted the land around him. Thousands of orcs, all having followed him have begun settling in after their long journey and all were eager to begin anew. This land seemed bountiful and fresh, a livable area unlike their homeworld which had become poisoned and increasingly dangerous. But now, they had a chance for their children to grow up not knowing these dangers. All around him Gromm saw his orcs bringing in fresh food from hunts, fish from the nearby sea, tanning hides, building tents, or training. Their trolls were logging around lumber and other materials needed for their clan, and even their giant joined in to help. Even with all this however, new orcs were arriving by the day, having followed in Gromm's footsteps with the promise of a new home. And the need for more housing and food continued to grow as well, which worried the chieftain.<br>
<br>
Preoccupied with his thoughts, he did not notice his life-mate approach from behind and she quickly caressed him from behind. The chieftain chuckled as he gently grabbed her arms and turned to face her with a soft smile. "Agya... how are the boys?" he asked.<br>
<br>
"Varok is down running around somewhere and Brogg is asleep... for now." she replied with a chuckle. Gromm gave off a gruff laugh as well before bringing her to his side to watch the vista. However, Agya's tone changed as she realized Gromm's demeanor. "What's the matter?"<br>
<br>
Gromm grunted as he looked in the distance with a sigh. "Food. We might not have enough to accommodate newcomers. Not unless we find some way to find more. And our crops won't be ready for another few months." he said with a tone hinted with despair. "If only we orcs didn't eat so damn much."<br>
<br>
"You've led us all this far, my love... you can figure this out. I know you can." Agya replied firmly, looking at Gromm with an intense demeanor.<br>
<br>
"We had to make a lot of hard choices as we traveled, and it seems that I continue to be burdened with such decisions here too." Gromm replied, leaning onto the railing. "Most are too tired to fight, so we can't raid for food. And not only that, we know next to nothing of what is out there. I cannot risk our warriors like that, not yet."<br>
<br>
Gromm looked down to see his son playing with a few other younglings and leading them as they ran about the dirt streets of the encampment. He gave off a grin, and changed the subject quickly. "Varok seems to have made a lot of friends. The little rascal is their leader."<br>
<br>
"He is going to lead one day... might as well start early." Agya stated jokingly. <br>
<br>
"Aye. But until then, my work is yet to be finished."</div>

The Thirds are heavily supplimented by and rely on the cavalry in order to maneuver on the battlefield. The trademark tactics of the acradian military is the use of combined arms: the Thirds, cavalry and archers.<br>

<b>Government:</b><br>
There are 3  hierarchies in the acradian society:<br>​</div>The Republic's legislative power can be split into 3 main branches: the Citizen Assembly, the Knight Assembly and the Patron Assembly. Each assembly is composed of direct democratic vote regarding aspects related only to the respective class status. The Citizen Assembly is composed mostly of lower class secondary citizens of the Republic, often men with no land property such as the peasants and workers. The higher class of the knights are usually those who own a plot of land, and perside over a longer career inside the military, becoming petty officers and officers. The Patron Assembly is reserved only for the elite class of the Acrad. For the purpose regarding nationwide laws or events, magistrates elected from all the three assemblies gather inside the acradian Council.<br>
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><div style="text-align: center">The lowest of lowest are composed of the slaves, who are non-citizens which generally serve the higher classes. They are used as heavy brute labour force when needed, and perform the lowest of tasks. It is almost always impossible for a slave to become even a secondary citizen, but slaves are protected by national law due to being considered private goods. A master of slaves is required by law to relinquish his slave after serving full 30 years in slavery, or if the master chooses to end prematurely the slave's legal tenure. Once eliberated, a slave is almost always cast out of Acrad, with a small payment in the form of silver, enough to guarantee food for the next two weeks, with some slave-holding families ensuring proper safe passage for his slave, in the good cases. Most slaves disperse into the wider world. A family is able to legally declare the slave a "Freeman", whereas he becomes an auxiliary member of the family, having gained the full trust and appreciation of the family. Due to the legal nature of slavery, Acrad is viewed as one of the most lenient overlord over the poor slaves. This strategy of shifting slave population helps maintaining the core acradian population, without being overrun by slaves.​</div></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><div style="text-align: center">The citizens, who can be either secondary class or primary class. Secondary class citizens are the most numerous of all, being composed of children and women. Becoming a secondary class citizen requires either birth inside Acrad to parents of either secondary or primary class citizens, or in the case of foreign individuals of different nationality/race, serving the full 10 year military conscription in the auxiliary forces of the army. Becoming a primary class citizen requires both parents to be of native acradian origin or at least two generations of secondary class citizens in your family and serving the full 10 year military conscription. Secondary class citizens are granted certain benefits, including legal status and ability to vote in Citizen Assemblies, one free daily ration consisting of half a standard rye bread, two glasses of olive oil and half a kilogram of fruits, and legal representation in trials and other law related conflicts, and ability to candidate for the position of magistrates in the Citizen Assembly. Primary citizens enjoy all the benefits of citizenship, including being eligible to own plot of lands, candidate for magistrate in the Knight Assembly and the Council, pensions in the case of long military careers or state related bureaucratic work.​</div></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><div style="text-align: center">The patrons, who are the wealthiest members of the acradian society. They are the long standing families of Acrad, with tradition in serving inside the Council and almost all state related institutions.​</div></li>
</ol><div style="text-align: center"><br>
<b>Religion:</b><br>
Acradians worship a single diety known as the Holyness, which is said to be the primordial parent of all the races of the world. The official religion is called "Holynessianism".<br>
<br>
<b>Background (Still under WIP):</b><br>
Acrad's cultural and ethnic ancestry can be traced back to the surviving elven population of the Ancient Kaz'Rael and the great proto-kazarok migrations in times of old. The elven Kaz'Rael civilization thrived once in the lush eastern parts of Numerya, founding an enduring empire which warred against the other elven states of Numerya for hundreds of years before man first began set foot on Numerya. For long have Kaz'Rael and the human migrators clashed between eachother, leading the elves of old to build sophisticated border foundations in order to sustain and repel the human migrators that pushed the eastern boundaries of Kaz'Rael. Due to the very destructive nature of a two way front for decades with the other elven civilizations in the west and the increased outbreed and outgrow of the human population on the east, the crumble of the elven empire was forseen by many, and dozen of scholars and scientists have tried to tamper with the arts of forbidden magic in order to resolve the crisis and gain a hand at restoring the regional power of Kaz'Rael. In the aftermath of the severe implications of research inside the art of forbidden magic, the elven empire has caused an irreversible climatic catastrophe that survives even to this day: the infamous Desert of Kaz'Rael. <br>

</div>The remnants of what was once Kaz'Rael have dispersed within Numerya, gradually losing their identity. Only the elven clan Acrad of Kaz'Rael has led their bannermen and subjects on a journey beyond the borders of the elven realm and the human realm, founding the city of Acrad on the 'Blessed Strait' between the two continents. The elven clan of Acrad, in order to survive it's peril, have undertaken an unprecendented task: rally the local human population together with the surviving elves, ensuring a continuation of Kaz'Raelian culture. Through conquer and diplomacy, Acrad began to assimilate more and more human population, growing from a modest fishing harbour to a veritable local power. The early period of Acrad was marked by constant inter-ethnic conflict between the elves and the humans. Scholars debate on the early period of Acrad, due to the scarcity of surviving materials and documents. It is certain, however, that the last elven king of Acrad has been dethroned around 1200 years ago by human-led dissident forces, establishing an official government based on equity and democratic values. <br>
<br>
Over the next centuries, the elven population and the human population intermingled one with another and gave birth to the modern acradian population of today. Due to the fact that the elvish gene is more weaker than the human one, and the increased rate of breeding in humans, the elven mixture is commonly found today within the elite families of Acrad and some segments of the population. Although considered mostly human in nature, Acrad is one of the few examples of a man-elven culture. The elven cultural heritage is responsable for, but not limited to: architectural style such as bright coloured edifices and buildings, white magic usage in many aspects and a sophisticated society and maritime navigation, culinary aspects, fashion and efficient bureaucracy. The human cultural heritage is mainly responsable for, but not limited to: the complex militaristic professionalism, outgoing personality, piety, certain architectural styles, diplomatic and economical culture and most ofthe overall physical aspect, although slightly pointed ears and beautiful facial features are common among acradians of all social ranks.<br>
<br>
After a period of peace and constant growth, developing an elegant society and establishing itself as a local power, the Alderam Empire of Kazarok has reached it's claw up to Acrad. Repeatedly failing against Alderam, Acrad's political power was reduced only to the status of a client state, representing a cannon fodder between Kazarok and Numerya. With the eventual collapse of Alderam into bickering nations, Acrad broke off the diplomatic pacts with the Empire and restored it's status as a fully independent nation state within the world, altough an influx of human refugees from Kazarok, aswell as severe droughts caused by desert storms from the Desert of Kaz'Rael and rampant piracy, has seen the stagnation of the nation once more.<br>

Swarms of tiny embers escaped before falling to the cold stone floor where their glowing faded into black. Kneeling down next to the hearth was Sarthen Largasso, one of the Legion's top commanders. He sighed and grabbed a tempered metal pike from the nearby wood rack, using it to move some of the logs around. With any luck the Free Keep wouldn't burn down this evening either.<br>
<br>
On the opposite side of the chambers a pair of wooden double doors opened, revealing Jelina and two more commanders- Triena Noldari and Barthoz Kallizmir. Sarthen rose up and returned the pike to the rack before nodding towards his commander. "Jelina," he said.<br>
Jelina returned the greeting. "Sarthen." She then gestured towards the chairs. "Sit down. Osara should be here any moment."<br>
<br>
The three commanders nodded and sat down. Sarthen folded his hands and leaned on the table while Triena and Barthoz maintained a much more reserved space to their superior. Jelina approached the hearth and stared into the flames. Soon enough the sound of footsteps could be heard from the corridor followed by a voice greeting the guards outside.<br>
<br>
Osara Radakko stepped into the room. She nodded towards the others before seating herself. Outside of the room the guards closed the door. Jelina turned around to adress her council. Currently there were only five of them in the room. These were busy times and The Fifteen could not always be gathered at full numbers. Three were busy overseeing contracts far away from home. Two others were at New Heldon to maintain diplomatic relations. Another member was in the east, mapping the river deltas. All the other members were either occupied with menial tasks or asleep.<br>
<br>
Fortunately for the Legion this was no bureaucratic state that demanded pointless rites or routines. Time was money and for every minute wasted business- and coin- suffered.<br>
<br>
Jelina seated herself. She studied her commanders. Sarthen. Ever-loyal. He had the mind of a general and a businessman. Triena. The Ranger. She always found new roads. Barthoz. A diplomat. Whatever he lacked in swordsmanship he made up for in fancy words. Then there was Osara. Arrogant. Young. Unpredictable. Jelina smirked. Her wildcard.<br>
<br>
"I have news," stated Jelina. The other perked up. "I looked into some of the rumors. Quite a lot of truth for once." Jelina smiled and crossed her legs before continuing. "There's lots of coin waiting to be claimed. Rumors of highlanders seeking protection. Gnomes looking for someone to guard their treasures. New Heldon expanding. If we play our cards right we can expand both out reputation, influence and our purses."<br>
<br>
The commanders grinned and nodded. It was time to expand. Without saying another word all five of them unsheathed their daggers, crossing them across the table.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10px">The Serene Hold of Mallen-Tol on a brisk, autumn night</span><br>​</div>Guild Master Aegon Blackmaul entered through a shop doorway, smirking as he always does at the irony of a bookshop having an image of a book hanging out its front as oppose to a written sign. Literacy wasn't something important to everyone and the bookshop's main income really was inscribing for those illiterate dwarves rather than selling manuscripts and scrolls, which selection was limited anyway.<br>
<br>
As he walked into the main chamber, an older dwarf with aged skin and a solid white beard hunched over a desk littered with quills, empty ink bottles, and scattered papers. He looked up with his eyes, keeping his head facing the manuscripts across his desk and said, "Ah, Aegon my friend. Come for another novel? Soon you'll have my entire stock, why not just buy it all now so I can retire early?"<br>
<br>
Aegon continued his approach to a small bookshelf while he replied, "No, not today Daruth. I think my time with novels and tales of love and dragons may be over. There was a Council meeting yesterday with the Lord Regnant. It...concerned me. I think I shall begin collecting your scrolls and manuscripts of histories and sciences. He causally picked a leather-bound book off the shelf at random, reading the title <i>The Divided Loyalties of Dwarves </i>and turned to a random page to read, "...which brings us to the main division of dwarven societies: That of the clan and that of the guild. Some clans align themselves entirely within a specific trade while others are spread among dozens of the trade guilds. When clans have disputes, it may drag the overall guild they are aligned to into the argument while when rival guilds go against one another, it could divide the clans. This is often how new clans break and form..." He closed the book.<br>
<br>
Daruth said, "That book is one of the oldest, written mid-empire I think? By a human I believe. Not very good, only dwarves will every truly understand dwarven culture. What is that the High Regnant is looking to do now?"<br>
<br>
Sighing and blankly staring at the small selection of scrolls, Aegon said, "Duergor wants to expand our holdings. With the empire gone for many decades now, he feels that Mallen-Tol could extend itself. He's organized charters for <i>khazerthrun</i> to go to foreign lands to trade. Many of the guild masters are excited at the thought of selling their craftsmanship while others are excited to bring in wealth of other lands, including a great many of my own guild."<br>
<br>
"That does not sound like such a bad thing?" Daruth asked.<br>
<br>
Aegon grabbed another book at random titled <i>Erath: Divinity of Dwarves</i> and said, "Not immediately, but I fear what may come afterward. He is becoming more paranoid of his mortality I think. He's asked any of the <i>khazerthrun </i>to bring back any ancient dwarven relics and any clue to the Heart of Erath, as if such a thing exists. The Forge Guild should have never backed his election two score ago against his second cousin's bid. That was the first time our guild allied itself with the Masonic Guild and I am determined for it to be the last. Anyhow, as always, this is kept between you. And. Me. Yes?"<br>
<br>
Daruth replied, "As always, Aegon. That could be quite troubling. But at least now I can contract a<i> khazerthrun</i> to bring me more manuscripts, I haven't had a restock in nearly sixty years..."</div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Cinzel';">Leaders:</span> </b>Emperor Karolos II Liuvareiks<br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'Cinzel';">Notable Members:</span> <br>
<span style="font-family: 'Cinzel';">Patriarch of Cephalonia</span></b><br>
Religion has always been a source of disagreement in Cephalonia, indeed the subject of religion has been the catalyst for many a war with the Empire's Hildemar cousins. The conflict first arose when Nikolas I Liuvareiks decided to break away from the Grand Temple by appointing his own Supreme Pontiff of the faith as the countless Emperors before him had done. This act alone caused a great schism within the church, leading to heated reactions all around. The High Ecclesial declared any and all bishops appointed by the new Imperial puppet to be without sanction and had him and his Emperor excommunicated from the faith. In retaliation the High Ecclesial at Cephalonia, now know as Paulinus III excommunicated the entirety of the western clergy from Cardinals to lowly Bishops. Enraged, the Grand Temple convinced the nobility in Adelford to take up arms against the heretical Emperor calling for a host of the faithful to restore the true Pontificate. Nikolas I Liuvareiks in his folly disregarded the rantings of the 'mad priest' and by the time he came to his senses, it was far too late. The combined forces of Hildemar, Bastien and Carolin were at the gates of Cephalonia, the sack that followed is still talked about to this day the sheer brutality of the event recounted by countless bards and minstrels in towns and taverns across the Cephalonian hinterland. The Emperor's head along with that of Paulinus III was displayed on spikes at the walls of the capital. Alaiksandrus II Liuvareiks, the Emperor's brother was made Co-Emperor along with an upstart noble from Bastien, Louis 'Iron-Arm'.<br>
<br>
This status quo would not last for long however, the people wouldn't stand for having a foreign monarch lording over them and thus for 4 days and 4 nights the city burned once again. The Co-Emperors were caught and massacred while trying to escape the city by their own Praetorian Guard and Andronikos II, a promising scion of Nikolas I living in exile, was made Emperor and almost immediately went about mustering troops for the battles to come. A year of conflict finally came to a conclusion at the battle of Everyn's Road where the combined Hildemar and Bastien armies were set upon by a strong Cephalonia force. In the humiliating peace that followed Andronikos II married a Rosselot princess securing peace at the front while the High Ecclesial agreed to organize a Council of the learned at Aragos, a port city in Cephalonia to discuss matters of faith. The Council at Aragos after much deliberation came to the conclusion that the Emperor as a result of his royal prerogative would be entitled to elect any sitting Bishop as Patriarch of Cephalonia, who although nominally subservient to the Grand Temple, would have every power bestowed on the pontiff himself, within the reach of the Empire. The current Patriarch Alagilds I is as such the supreme head of all religious matters within the Empire and thus an extremely influential man.<br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'Cinzel';">Dux Aþalahardus Palaeologos</span></b><br>
The Palaeologos have been a major part of the renewed Imperial establishment ever since the fall of Kazmura. Although land given out to noblemen within the imperial system is in exchange for military service, such charges are not hereditary and can only be held at the behest of the Emperor. The Palaeologos however have managed to hold on to large tracts of land in the Northern parts of the Empire providing it with much of its required levies and them with a great stake in the goings on within the Empire. At least two members of the dynasty have been noted to have headed the Empire; once briefly during the 'time of troubles' and again during the regency of the infant Andronikos III in the form of Empress Hunibairhta Palaeologos whose brief reign ushered in a period of prosperity for the Empire. The current Dux, Aþalahardus Palaeologos is best described as a glory hound, encouraging the expansion of imperial dominance by forcing neighboring states to recognize its claim to the old Empire.<br>

</div></div><b><span style="font-family: 'Cinzel';">Background:</span> </b>Like many of its great cities Cephalonia began as a colony of the Empire, with the explicit aim of tapping into the lucrative Arajyd bay trade. Situated at the mouth of the river Vesuvio It was soon able to attract great wealth and influence, often to the ire of the surrounding tribes who saw the Empire slowly encroaching into their territories. The tribes in the region were a strong willed people, distant cousins of the Hilders and fiercely territorial. Ever since Cephalonia was first established there were skirmishes between the settlers and the local chieftains. The situation came to a head however, when the city state began expanding northward towards the source of the river. Under the charismatic leadership of a man named Wittekind the tribes united into a confederacy and laid siege on the city, it was only the timely aid of the Empire that prevented certain annihilation by lifting the siege and routing the enemy forces. Despite this, the paltry force sent by the Emperor was not considered enough to resist a prolonged conflict and therefore a compromise was reached. The tribesmen would accept Foederati status and allow missionaries to enter their holdfasts, in exchange the Cephalonians would be honor bound to not expand their territories any further. In the decades that followed, there would be many more such rebellions and many more Wittekinds, but eventually the entire region would come under the direct influence of Cephalonia, whose rulers would begin styling themselves Princes and calling the region a Principality. An unforeseen result of these conquest would be the emergence of a native aristocracy that began adopting certain elements of the Adelram tongue and practicing the true faith. One such family was house Liuvareiks, Alaiksandrus I the dynasty's founder left Cephalonia at a young age in order to serve in the Emperor's bodyguard. The Cephalonians were a hardy bunch and promising nobles were often gifted to the Emperor along with the yearly tribute. Alaiksandrus was exemplary in his service and became a favorite of the Emperor, even assisting his highness during a number of campaigns against the northern barbarians. His downfall came when it was found that he'd impregnated a scion of the Stormstrum dynasty, Alaiksandrus and his now disgraced wife were banished back to Cephalonia where the pair returned to a minor demesne. Fortune favors the bold however, and the Liuvareiks' were certainly bold, in time they would earn themselves the title of Prince, through political marriages, wars and intrigue. And when the Empire finally fell, the bold took their chance once again, and why shouldn't they? did the not after all have imperial blood running through their veins?<br>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1560280615529-png.587705/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/524/524665-ef89da0c719dca81423b01a4f177ce79.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="587705" title="587705" width="100" height="64" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>​</div>It is said that Maegon’s power came from his ability to bring Chaos to heel, and to harness it towards purposeful ends, as well as his ability to establish lasting, productive Order in its stead. These two aspects of Maegon manifest themselves in Brotinnstao through the Magus of Dawn and the Magus of Dusk. <br>
<br>
The twin magisters are the Kingdom’s highest magic authorities, as well as aides and advisors to the King and military leaders in their own right. Though the Magi are themselves only masters of white magic and black magic respectively, the Magus of Dawn holds legal authority over all the kingdoms practitioners of positive circle magic, while the Magus of Dusk holds equivalent authority over those practitioners of negative circle magic which are not forbidden from operating. <br>
<br>
The twin magister system is an official royal institution, and there must always be a Magus of Dawn and a Magus of Dusk. The mages are expected to find and train their own successors. Contrary to the Magus of Dawn who will often have dozens of apprentices at a time, with one designated heir-apparent, the Magus of Dusk will rarely take on more than a single apprentice. Despite the Magus of Dawn’s greater popularity, prominence and authority within the Kingdom, it is generally accepted that the Magus of Dusk is the more powerful of the two mages.</div>

	</div></div><br>
The rain finally stopped come morning. With the first light of daybreak, the curtain of grey clouds began to shatter and devolve into a fine grey mist which blanketed the grassy hills and rocky bluffs of the countryside. It had rained all through the night, and a little pause in the morning was welcomed until it would undoubtedly begin to rain once more come the afternoon. Many wondered if this was a prolonging of the rainy season, or simply one last hurrah before the daily tempests went into hibernation. Never easy to say. The weather could be even more unpredictable than mortals. <br>
<br>
Two riders appeared at speed, hurrying over a small hill and down the muddy lane, shrouded in damp cloaks. Inngsgrad was nearly a half-hour away by horse, and the sun had only just risen. The figures galloped up to the front gate of the modest stone manor and dismounted, a footman already waiting at the door and taking the reigns to lead the beasts to the stable. <br>
<br>
"The girl is just inside, sir, we must hurry," one of the figures replied, a grim faced half-angel who bore no set of wings, but a slim face and golden eyes. The second rider was a tall pureblood angel, and he had to duck through the entrance to keep the top of his raven black wings from scraping the doorway. <br>
<br>
At first the manor was quiet aside from their feet. They hurried through the stout halls and up the stairs, through the main hall and towards the private quarters of the family. A bloodcurdling wail erupted from somewhere ahead of them, giving both men a startled pause before they hurried towards the noise. <br>
<br>
"Make room, please! Paulus is here!" <br>
<br>
Half a dozen angels and mixed-bloods lingered in the hallway around a closed door. Servants held all manner of goblets of water, and tiny boxes of strong smelling spices. One was holding a stuffed doll that resembled a rabbit, and another was flipping through a thin book of children's tales in search of a certain passage.<br>
<br>
"Sir Paulus! Oh, saints, you've made it!" Madam du Vult cried, embracing the man briefly, her husband doing the same as they nearly knocked the man down. Both of their eyes were wet with tears. <br>
<br>
"Its Anya, our little girl. She's nearly seventeen and last night she began to hallucinate. She had no fever and we were worried it was... the Misery setting in," Christof du Vult explained, resting a hand on his wife's shoulder to calm her as another low wail emerged from behind the closed door. "We've been able to talk the other children through their episodes, but... its been nearly five hours."<br>
<br>
"Christof and I both had painful and troublesome bouts of the Misery when we were younger, myself four times now, but you know how hard it is on children. But Anya... its worse than anything we've dealt with!"<br>
<br>
Paulus nodded solemnly. "I understand this is a difficult time for you both, but I assure you I will do everything I can to bring her back to us. Does she still see this world, or the other?"<br>
<br>
"The other," Christof whispered. "But she also... doesn't remember this one. Its fully taken her mind. She thinks she is <i>there</i>. This is beyond seeing and hearing phantoms."<br>
<br>
There was an uneasy silence now, and Paulus nodded again. "I'll do all I can. I don't know why I've been blessed with an ancestor's voice, but it bestows this duty upon me, and I shall fulfill it always."<br>
<br>
Everyone held their breath as he approached the door and slowly opened it. The interior was shrouded in darkness and there was not a single sound, and a servant passed him a candlestick. An unnatural cold began to drift from inside as he quietly entered and closed the door behind him. A candle only provided so much light, and the room was not small. Carefully, he raised the candle high and stepped towards what seemed to be the center of the room.<br>
<br>
Lady Anya was sitting in a wooden chair in the pitch black darkness, hands clasping the edges of the seat as she trembled. Her eyes were glazed over and cheeks stained from bloody tears, which had by now stained the front of her night gown significantly. No one had ever bled out from the Misery. Yet looking at her, it seemed a distinct possibility, and Paulus quickly sat the candle aside and knelt in front of the girl. Her face was twisted in a constant state of grief and terror.<br>
<br>
"The Aurelian Gate is gone," she lamented to herself, beginning to cry again. "We locked them out. All of them. They're still outside and we left them. How could we have down that? They won't stop screaming and its getting louder."<br>
<br>
Paulus let out a low sigh, his own heart fluttering. The story of the Aurelian Gate was a terrible one. One of the most traumatizing moments in their history, and here it was being relived by a child who had yet to grow her full wings.<br>
<br>
"Listen to me, Anya. Listen closely to my voice," he finally said, mustering the unshakeable confidence needed for this. "You are Lady Anya du Vult. You <i>are not</i> at the Aurelian Gate. That happened over eight hundred years ago. You live in New Heldon with your loving family, and under the rule of the fair Saint Elise. Listen to my voice, Anya. I want you to take my hands and come back with me to your home."<br>
<br>
Anya twitched in her seat, eyes going wider as she stared at him in utter horror, finally perceiving him in her twisted nightmarish psychosis. "N-no... no! Paulus! You were supposed to run! Why did you return!?"<br>
<br>
He had talked hundreds out of their Misery in his lifetime, and never had one who was trapped fully in the other world spoke his name. Even those known to him in reality had never perceived him in such a fashion. It was impossible, unless.... <br>
<br>
<i>I'm named after grandfather... surely that... isn't who she is speaking to. </i>He found that now he couldn't speak as the implication was realized. He didn't know what form of cosmic fate this was, and how it was possible. Lady Anya was trapped in her ancestor's visions, and his appearance to her was of his own ancestor, his grandfather. None of them knew that their ancestors had met, yet alone known each other. He should have been a nameless phantom to her. One trying to coax her back to reality, not a living, breathing figure of the very nightmare which possessed her. <br>
<br>
"Anya... listen to me closely. You cannot stay here. This is not where you belong. You <i>must </i>return to your family."<br>
<br>
"I can't, Paulus! I can't leave our people to die alone like this! Can't you hear their crying beyond the gate? I must die with them!" She latched out to grasp his hands, shaking violently. "I've condemned them to die here, and so shall I!"<br>
<br>
Words began to fill his throat before he even realized them in his mind, as if someone else was speaking through him. "Listen to me, Anya, it had to be done to protect the retreat. Illus and her legion would be lost and we would lose Hildestead. The refugees number over a million and without Illus they would be feed for the Unbeliever's army. The gate had to be closed. It is the only way for all of us, for all of Heldon, to survive. You still have your children and your family. I have lost mine. Go now, please. You musn't give your life away. I will remain to honor their passing, not you. <i>Now go.</i>"<br>
<br>
Now he could hear the wailing, pleading cries of thousands outside the gate, begging to be let in before the fog reached them and stole their souls away.<br>
<br>
"Paulus," she cried out, but she was standing now, showing more life in her eyes as he managed to force her away from the past and back to the present. <br>
<br>
"You must go. Now. I'll make the blood offering alone to ease the spirits in their final moments. Now please, save yourself," he urged, reaching to his hip and drawing his dagger. The girl wiped her bloody tears away and began to walk towards the door to the room, still in the trance, but growing ever further from it. <br>
<br>
"I will not forget your sacrifice, Paulus." She reached for the door handle and opened it, the light from outside blinding in the darkness of the room. She swayed uneasily on her feet until she nearly fell over, and a dozen hands grabbed at her to steady herself as she broke the tether to the curse. When she looked back into the room, her eyes were full of life. "Sir Paulus!" She called out, but it was to a man of another time.<br>
<br>
Paulus sat before the mighty Aurelia Gate, listening to the death of his people outside as the Unbeliever's sorcerous fog closed in around them. So many lives lost in agony so that there was a chance for the others to live. There was no choice but for him to offer his body as a conduit for their souls to escape the unending torment that would await them should they perish to the Unbeliever. He grasped his amulet and placed it on his tongue, prostrating himself in the dirt before the locked gate. When the cries of those trapped outside grew loudest as the killing fog reached them, he straightened up and glanced down at his left arm. Without hesitation, he pierced the dagger into his arm starting below his elbow, and he slid it down to his wrist. With his offering and silent prayer, the spirits would be given one channel to escape through his body to the other side of the gate, and to the afterlife. In exchange, his own life would be lost, as would his very soul as it burned itself out to ferry the weight of several thousand.<br>
<br>
He fell back on the hardwood floor, cheeks stained with red tears as his eyes began to grow blurry. Figures and faces began to loom around him, begging for him to stay, but he knew that his duty was fulfilled as it should be. One life to save another. That was the way of things. His father had done that for his mother when he gave his blood to heal her illness, and his grandfather had done it at the Aurelian Gate. Fulfilling the sacred duty embedded in their lineage.<br>
<br>
And now, he joined them.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><i>Hildemar, The Blue Palace</i><br>
“Hail before His Majesty! Konrad of House Volkhelm, Lord of Adelford! King of Hildemar, Guardian of the Hildians!”<br>
<br>
The court began with several peasants seeking an audience with the King, requesting aid in times of their situations in their villages. Meanwhile Robert folded his arms, trying to get a good look at him. Nothing to go off of other than the gossip he heard in the streets: brown greying hair, a simple gold circlet.<br>
<br>
“Bless your heart your Majesty! My family and others will never forget your kindness!” A peasant shurried out of the court. Robert stepped forward, the symbol of the Divine Star above the throne. He could have sworn King Konrad raise an eye for a second, until he noticed Robert bow.<br>
<br>
“Your Majesty, you may know me as Captain of the Saboteur. I come here to bring a relic from the continent of Numerya. I believe it tells of a terrible omen that could threaten Hildemar and others..” Robert explained before he was cut off by a thin looking man dressed in black robes. <br>
<br>
“From Numerya? My King, he speaks blasphemy, no sane Human would travel to the Elves. Only a man seeking treasury and ruins. To speak nonsense such as this is an outright insult to this throne.” He interjected, standing beside King Konrad as people began to murmur within the crowd, questioning if a sailor was playing a game. Konrad slowly raised a hand, silencing the man. Konrad’s eyes stared.<br>
<br>
“Continue.”<br>
<br>
Robert carefully pulled out a relic befitting a dark omen, made out of dense bone. The object resembled a horn of some sort as Sir Frederick, Marshal of the Palace retrieved the item for Konrad. He explained the anomaly, “Dense dark bone in the isles of the continent, seasoned sailors would know this relic is not to be trifled with.” The Captain narrowed his eyes as several of the audience continued to spread doubt until the next words from his mouth.<br>
<br>
“Several hunters and I fully believe this to be a dragon horn.”<br>
<br>
Utter silence.<br>
<br>
The talk of a dragon horn in this place, which would mean something horrifying if this was true. If so, this was a horrible omen. The King leaned forward, hearing his Chancellor whisper to his ear. The Chancellor marched back, observing the court as the King sighed. “Court will be adjourned for the moment.” The people were surprised the court took a sudden break, but nevertheless the commoners gossiped while they waited. Meanwhile the King headed to the back while Robert made sure to see him now that he had the chance.<br>
…<br>
<br>
Robert and Konrad walked over, staring at one another before they gave a lighthearted chuckle. Both hugged each other, good to know they weren't dead yet. Robert stared at Konrad, despite the weight gain he was still in good shape. Konrad waved off the guards to make leave, walking off while they needed to talk privately.<br>
<br>
"Never thought I would meet Robert Lother, foolharden sailor again. How many years has it been?" The King asked, laughing.<br>
<br>
"You flatter me your Majesty. It's been too long. But I'm here for a good reason as I explained during court." Robert stated while the King sighed.<br>
<br>
"Yes yes I'm aware, you've made your argument in front of all these subjects. But a dragon horn? That would imply a dragon rider across Numerya, god be damned." Konrad exclaimed as he held his hands together, staring at the large Comet Star illustrated within the glass decor.<br>
<br>
"It's not madness as you think. But we can't be too careful. A month ago I've discussed matters with Mekar, he says it's true. A great war that will spark between the Elves and Humans again." Robert explained while Konrad looked dumbfounded he referred to a familiar figure. Konrad scoffed, "Mekar and his isolated folk? Dragons have left Kazarok for centuries now, what reason should we believe they could possibly return? The folk within Hildemar be better off hearing goblins invade Hildemar for all we know."<br>
<br>
"Consider his warning Konrad, as a trusted friend. Mekar has witnessed Everyn the Fifth attack Altheim, if he believes it'll happen again then I trust him."<br>
<br>
"Fine whatever. But to tell you the truth, if we can beat back those damned Elves the first time, we can certainly do it again." Konrad boasted as Robert stared at the comet star, praying the Divine God for a miracle.<br>
<br>
"These are interesting times, Konrad. I can only hope I'm wrong. For all of us..." <br>

<br>
The year has started off with several major powers seeking to improve relations. Although their agendas are hidden to their allies and enemies, it is agreed each faction is willing to go through all means to get what they want. During the past year, a great summer came, allowing crops to thrive and increased the world population. But sickness such as Spring Fever came, harming the commoners the most while nobility secluded themselves in their households. But this is only humble beginnings for Nasroth into a new age.<br>

			During the Celebration of the New Year, the leader among the Undying Rose discussed the affairs of the state and while it was generally agreed their parents fulfilled the foundations needed for a new home after the Age of Despair, it wasn’t New Heldon. Not yet at least, which sparked an ambitious goal of achieving a long lasting haven for angels and their subjects. But first, they needed to extend their relations outwards. Fortunately they have already started with the Kazirians.<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/hud2heldonturn1-png.590882/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/527/527842-156f819ce4eefa0bbc78396a31db2e4e.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="590882" title="590882" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>

</blockquote>- During the first course of action on their vision. Saint Elise ordered the government a call for ambassadors and several escorts to neighboring societies. Her primary intention was to ensure this would benefit New Heldon, allowing a stream of goods if successful. However, they needed to make sure traveling was safe considering several factions’ distances. Once scouts had a rough direction where to go, an ambassador was sent out to the closest, being the Kazirian Legion and Rainbow Grotto. Relations were dealt during those nations, later on New Heldon met up with Sigharis including Kislok to set up a mutual economic relationship. Eventually Natalia and the Grand Duchess of Kislok acknowledged their intentions, agreeing. Unfortunately the ambassador caravan for Heisen didn’t reach their destination due to setbacks, heading back to New Heldon.<br>
<br>
- Although their body of land was a safe haven for Angels, out there was a different case riddled with bandits and predators. For that they needed protection starting off with a series of guards for roads and villages. To start this was to recruit half-bloods within the Fortress-Monasteries as they were better suited to being rangers than humans. The program raised up to 45 men, healthy enough for a fight. Once they knew their mission they got to work. Over the days since the program was founded, several rangers were found harassing folk for protection money, baiting people into their manipulation, cheated. Although some rangers tried their best in keeping the peace, the program started off with a lack of discipline and poor effort in the process.  <br>
<br>
- New Heldon wanted to make sure the populace knew some level of literacy, such as reading and writing. Despite the overall challenge of educating the masses, New Heldon would be in the open fields and hillsides. These lessons could also be hosted by an order. Once Heldon enacted this policy, angels were found on the outskirts of the Fortresses, enticing people basic lessons. The first day allowed several peasants asking questions about how to get white teeth despite no sugar in peasant diet, the alphabet. However the surge did not last long as activity fell, causing teachers to get one or two people each day.<br>
<br>
- New Heldon ordered several workers to build wells for the masses and to create volunteer fire brigades. The construction efforts on the wells seemed promising until the labor force suffered material setbacks. The volunteer fire brigade are comprised of peasants with a complete lack of idea what to do in a fire situation as realized during a fire on one of the villages as one brigade took a long time putting out the fire, with the wells built improperly.<br>
<br>
- A better system was needed to organize construction within the territory, therefore the government founded the Communal Work Rota. This workforce is to organize the unemployed who wishes to work, getting into a national pool where they are sent to areas that need more manpower. Each worker is promised three meals a day and payment for their service. Although it sounded too good to be true, peasants looking for work got to small construction jobs and maintenance. The end of the day allowed peasants small coinage even though it was little, however they were fed for the duration.<br>
<br>
- The state began the efforts to standardize their currency and scales like coinage. The goal was to make New Heldon better not just for angels but for the masses also. Saint Elise’s action was to lower the peasant tax, slightly while raising noble tax to balance tribute. Throughout the year, the tax despite some displeasure caused the masses to live much better than they thought they would, thanking Elise for her generosity. Government spending distributed to other areas such as mage payment as they cured diseases, and peasant working. In addition the Square Market allowed people to purchase essentials than they had now.   <br>

			After years of wandering for a new home, an Orc Tribe of over five thousand have finally made landfall. The Tribe consisted of mostly red Orcs, greens, and blacks. Goblins assisted scavenging and scouting when the Chieftain ordered. There was also the occasional troll, one foot larger than the average Orc. A year later and the entire tribe settled in, hunting wildlife to sustain themselves at the time. <br>

- The Clan sent a very important mission to establish contact with their species in the land. An orc band without their fellow orcs meant danger. Gromm sent out ten scouts for the mission, bringing them enough food and water for the trip. The group went off to the west, saying goodbye to their friends and loved ones.<br>

			Gurak sat down, along with his son and wife. Nala set down the hot soup to both of them, sitting down with them. Gurak nodded, “Thank you. I heard some orcs are coming in from the homeworld, joining the tribe when they saw we made it.” He rubbed his hands, sipping on his bowl while his son Kurn stirred the soup using his finger in a circular motion. Nala shook her head, annoyed at her son.<br>
<br>
“Sooner or later, everyone will know that we came here. It’s a bad omen, Gurak. Should we sit on our asses waiting for a miracle to happen we’d all be starving. I hope it doesn’t come to a point we have to suffer.” Nala sighed, reaching out to his hand. The couple pressed, praying to the spirits guiding their people.<br>
<br>
“It won’t come to that. Gromm was right after all, there was a new home for us here. He’ll make sure we’ll be okay.” He assured, chowing down on his soup.<br>
<br>
A minute later, an Orc stepped into their tent, their old friend Karth, a chewed up fish in his mouth. Karth waved at all of them, pulling the fish from his mouth so he could speak. “Hello there Gurak, Nala, little Kurn.” Karth waved at all of them, Gurak’s eyes rolled at the sight of him. Gurak turned to his brother, making a half effort wave as Karth stood, a frown on his face. “What’s going on?” Gurak asked.<br>
<br>
“The Chief needs a few men to check if we’re not alone outside the home. He wants at least six to go out there.”<br>
<br>
“That many?” Gurak narrowed his eyes, arms folded.<br>
<br>
“Strength in numbers he said. We don’t know what’s really out there to get cocky. Bring your axe, you’re coming with us.” Gurak sighed harshly, juggling between eating and having to speak to his wife about the news. Nala heard the job Gurak needed to do with Karth, a risk she didn’t like at all for him. There was an awkward silence with the exception of little Kurn clapping his hands together happily. Gurak looked at Nala in the eye, shooting a weak smile.<br>
<br>
“I’m sure it’s nothing to be worried about. Six people is enough to keep each other safe. So don’t worry okay?” Gurak said to Nala, who nodded in response still skeptical. Gurak finished up his meal, heading to his room where he found an axe his father crafted for him called Bloodthirster. The orc said goodbye to his wife, giving a pat on the head to little Kurn. He left the hut, ready to meet up with the pack. <br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
Gurak and Karth walked to a band of orcs who looked like they were ready to head out there, weapons ready. There was a large male wearing a thick pelt over his head. There was a large bear with him, laying down on the grass while the orc beastmaster turned to them. Gurak raised a fist up, nodding. “Beastmaster. You leading the hunt?” Gurak asked, receiving a nod from the man. Karth raised an eyebrow, inspecting the orc.<br>
<br>
“You got a name or something?” Karth asked.<br>
<br>
“Karrog.” The Beastmaster answered bluntly, staring at both of them with nothing else to say. The two brother shrugged it off, meeting some of the others who were on the scouting. A black orc cracked his knuckles, shirtless and riddled with scars. Gurak chuckled, recognizing the man.<br>
<br>
“Well if it isn’t Morden the Shredder. I imagine they would send someone like you in the wilds.”<br>
<br>
Karth stepped towards the scarred orc, “You know this man?”<br>
<br>
“More than I should. You’ll find out why.” Gurak remarked, earning a glare from Morden himself. Behind the black orc was a green orc, female and stood upright unlike the others wielding a spear. Gurak tilted his head, not recognizing the woman. The female turned to the brothers, exhaling through her nostrils, curious.<br>
<br>
“Don’t recognize you. Who are you called?” Gurak asked, staring at the protection leather she had on, adorn with tribal jewelry made out of bone.<br>
<br>
“Kerin. Yours red warrior? Her eyes flickered elsewhere, sharpening the spear tip.<br>
<br>
“Gurak, and that’s my brother Karth. You ready to find out what’s out there?” Kerin let out a weak chuckle,<br>
<br>
“You know it.” Kerin said, as all of them saw Karrog stepping close. The Beastmaster and its companion were ready to head out there, packing food and water. “We leave now before night comes.” Karrog said bluntly.<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
The scouts made camp, setting up bed skins on the grass recklessly. Morden built the fire pit, collecting stones and wood sticks to fuel the upcoming flames while Kerin explored the area for small prey. Krogg pulled out left over raw meat for Kova, tossing it to her as she gnawed down on it. Gurak sat down watching Morden spark the flame that quickly turned into a consistent fire for all of them. Krogg and his companion isolated himself, moving to a corner where the others went closer to the pit.<br>
<br>
“Here we are, in the new land for our families. Away from winter and other dangers.” Karth cheered, raising a drink to his newfound acquaintances who showed no such excitement.<br>
<br>
“Are you the funny man people talk about at home?” Kerin asked, curious while Karth narrowed his eyes. “Who wants to know? I like to talk a lot in case people haven’t noticed.” Karth explained. Morden gave a deep growl at Karth, cracking his knuckles while he heard.<br>
<br>
“You remind me of those idiots who like to think we can all just get along and stick together. Back at the old homeworld I used to gut people like you in my clan. They don’t know when to shut up and fight before the enemy got to the homes.” Morden said while Karth leaned forward, pissed off.   <br>
<br>
“You betrayed your own clan? Do you have no shame upon your own brothers and sisters?!” Karth called out raising his voice while Gurak and Kerin observed the escalation.<br>
<br>
“Watch it funny man, you’re one word away before I turn you into the joke.” Morden warned.<br>
<br>
“Enough both of you! We are all here for a new upbringing, to get a new start, unlike the old world. We’ve all seen the frost spiders and our own flesh killing each other for a share of land. I’ve seen my own tempted by dark spirits, straying from the good life and resorted to killing children and mincing corpses into horrors. But now we are here. If we want to survive, let’s focus on rebuilding first.” Gurak stated, giving a harsh sigh until the only sound was the fire burning.   <br>
<br>
Then a sound came.<br>
<br>
All of them raised their weapons out of instinct. Karrog raised a torch, Kova on the defensive. At first they thought those were animals moving outside of their camp but at closer view, it was humanoid movement. The pack waited for a response but they still couldn’t see who was that in the distance other than small lights. A minute later, another torch came into their zone, a large red humanoid who wore makeshift armor. The humanoid stepped forward, male and a set of dreadlocks on his head. It was actually another Orc carrying a torch.<br>
<br>
“Hello.” The red orc greeted.

<br>
To the tribe, it felt like months for their scouts to get back. But one day, all six of them arrived with supplies and tools to help out their people. During their exploration they were founded by a tribe named Gandan, another group of orcs who arrived in Kazarok a while ago. One thing's for sure, they were definitely not alone in the world.<br>
<br>
- After the group of scouts returned, this opened up a discussion for the Clan to think about train their young ones should an assault occur. Their Shamanism also encouraged this to make sure the young ones would become great orcs after their ancestors. With no surprise, many families agreed to teach their children hunting and animal tracking with good success, bringing food to the piles. .<br>
<br>
- The next step was settling down the tribe after realizing they were not alone in the world. With the success of orc families training their children how to hunt, teaching them how to handle themselves in a fight was essential. The training started with orc boys struggling to hold their axes up, missing the mark in the bow. It would take a while before the next fighters would improve significantly. <br>
<br>
- Wolf riders rode large wolves in battle, using spears and bows for weapons. The large wolf also known as the Winterwulf came from the north where Clan Gor’Mok used to live in. Several riders were ordered by Gromm to breed more to increase numbers. The few months led to female winterwulfs paired up with male mates. Thankfully orcs took care of mates by feeding them meat, allowing wulfs to give birth to litters as the year ended. <br>
<br>
- The final month marked a celebration with the Clan surviving the year. Of course this meant new responsibilities and some order around here. Gromm established a policy that proclaimed everyone is given a share so long as they work. For the most part everyone agreed, with a few bitter opportunists hiding their agendas. Gor’mok built a granary, food gathered slowly.<br>

			The town of Rainbow Grotto was developing at an agreeable pace, causing more humans to enter than the average gnome migrant. However gnomes are not known for their militaristic and serious nature. The town hoped to make some major improvements before the state itself collapsed on its own weight hotboxing. After all, recreative drugs aren’t known for keeping people safe.<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/hud2grottoturn1-png.590884/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/527/527844-3a70513a5b4bf7a5213e0ec891eb2974.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="590884" title="590884" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>

</blockquote>- Rainbow Grotto sent out impromptu diplomats to neighboring villages and towns outside of their territory. The goal was to establish a confederation of sorts to protect each other in times of need from invasion. Grotto offered protection through the thieves guild and the Rainbow Guard as an incentive, but the entire offer was met with total skepticism if not outright disdain from the villagers. The offer later faded as if the topic never happened again.<br>
<br>
- Although their diplomatic offer was a failure, Rainbow Grotto still needed more protection to secure their borders. The solution was simple: Expand the Rainbow Guard and make sure they’re protecting roads and civilians on their patrols. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. With costs being a non-issue at the moment, the town sent a call to every body available. Their efforts finally came fruitful as they hired up to 269 locals in the span of the year. Guardsmen performed their job escorting caravans in and out of the realm, getting paid for their services. <br>
<br>
- Grotto’s mages are specialized in transmutation, the ability to alter objects at the cost of materials and time. Despite their insufficient resources to build an actual school of magic, that didn’t stop the gnomes from setting up something similar. The school would be called the Academy of Alchemy, the gnomes setting it up in an abandoned shack. Hopeful student came occasionally came by to learn incantations and the concept of formulas. While it wasn’t a major breakthrough in teaching, it was certainly a start for the makeshift school. Magic and teaching takes time, if you rush it, you get someone killed, if you do it right, everything will be alright. <br>
<br>
- As Grotto established their makeshift school the only way to top it off was a makeshift library they started constructing. The purpose like any other library was to store encrypted books and let scholars check them out. Since Grotto’s not known for public safety, the staff are expected to watch suspicious members. Of course they were right about suspicion as the construction lit on fire for an unknown reason causing a major setback. Rumors spread over the town, causing some folks to believe it was arson.<br>
<br>
- Even though the good ol library construction didn’t work out as planned, Rainbow Grotto needed some form of direction around. They started placing milestones, signs and dirt roads for ease of travel towards the town. Thankfully, nothing really happened during those few weeks, leaving travellers to pass through town thanks to the directions.<br>
<br>
- To increase their revenues, the Gnomes built buildings such as breweries, apiaries, and taverns for businessmen to rest up. The special commodities they even advertised was booze, honey, sweet honey, booze honey, nut honey, booze made out of honey. If they could make it, they would make it. Supply and demand made sure the local businesses made a pretty penny out of merchants and travellers in the process. <br>

			Northlin needed to make sure they reinforced their military before any other goblins had a wise idea to tack on Kard of Old. Goblins despite their flaws, usually stick together because they had to. If they didn’t, their society will collapse under their own weight. Yet Northlin had a plan to avoid this from happening as Kard planned his actions.  <br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/hud2kardturn1-png.590886/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/527/527846-866ca1836442fa1652e8e78e1f026acf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="590886" title="590886" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>

	</div>
</blockquote><br>
- The first order of business was to make sure who was in charge. Northlin announced the wildlands around their area are to either join or by compulsion. The response was immediately backed by pure outrage because of these demands. However, before anything turned into an utter disaster, Old Kard’s talent allowed him to curb any potential riot into the ground. He’d have to try again and plead his case, otherwise the other goblins won’t play so nice next time.<br>
<br>
- Of course they didn’t, as bad luck had found itself. The Northlin’s army was instructed to tame their surrounding lands and bring the greenskins under their Kard’s control. They didn’t like the control part too well as a few goblins found out when greenskins placed their heads on pikes. They tried to take non-greens as slaves but that proved counterproductive when the humans resisted. Northlin attempted to find more manpower for his army but it never came during the search. It’s a good thing Goblins are pretty expendable.<br>
<br>
- Kard was a bit obsessive with trolls as he wanted to use blood magic in order to supersize them for his army. Since he had blood shamans and luck had finally eased up, they found out trolls get bigger with age but the problem was they suffered health problems such as poor sight and a slow heart. The blood shamans sacrificed two animals to test out their theory on a troll, seeing if it would change if they accelerated its blood. And believe it or not it worked,  with two animals harmed in the making of this theory.  <br>
<br>
- Northlin goblins are told to organize camps to bring slaves in, meanwhile Kard ordered his men to collect metal for weapons. Northlin gathering slaves was important for goblin society as it gave them power over others and the need to exert dominance as they did finding commoners for their “voluntary” workforces. However a few slaves escaped and the search for metal came up little with goblins carrying a small number of scrap.<br>
<br>
- With their recent discovery, this led to another problem as trolls are very gluttonous people. A good society is a well fed society as some Orc clans found out herding human livestock. Northlin started herding as many animals as they could such as cowbaffo and  red pigs but the livestock suffered a large shortage, causing some of their trolls to starve and go on frenzies. But eventually the frenzies stopped, leaving some rebuilding to do. <br>

			The state of Everynia was presumably named after Everyn The Hero, a Melgaeron who united the petty kingdoms and created the Adelram Empire. This faction is led by the free people who swear fealty to neither king nor nobility. The state was therefore a direct democracy.<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/hud2everyniaturn1-png.590887/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/527/527847-7c907e21a7cd0c58d338c5a4775de628.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="590887" title="590887" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>

</blockquote><br>
- The population of Everynia was dense with farmers and laborers, but the reality is that nearly all of them were peasan-commoners who had no experience ruling before. To upstart security was to build wooden watchtowers five miles away north and south to the dirt road leading to Everyn’s Road. Guarded by a force of ten men at arms, and ten archers this would allow forty horsemen to escort travellers into Everyn’s Road. The construction started with dozens using lumber to build their towers, taking at least a month until they were finished completely with extra help from the newly arrived engineers for the state. The horsemen proceeded doing their jobs, escorting pedestrians to Everyn’s Road.<br>
<br>
- Basic literacy was considered rare in a land such as Everynia and some people hoped to fix that. Everynia hired tutors to try to teach reading to the people but the attempt came up short as the tutors persuasion left no potential learners at all. An effort building road signs to help travellers resulted in hooligans vandalizing the property, annoying the people.<br>
<br>
- Despite the setback on education, Everynia still had a good start in keeping order around their borders. The state nevertheless wanted to find limestone sources to mass pile resources in case they discovered old inventions such as concrete roads or buildings but as of now, it was still early for them. Scouts and miners tracked sources in shallow water areas, finding adequate amounts for other projects in mind.<br>
<br>
- With the success of finding adequate limestone, ambitious entrepreneurs arrived to help out the Everynia in the hopes of opening up new businesses. The government in addition opened up treasury loans to these entrepreneurs. However they must go through an application process by majority rule while being watched by the keepers if they are approved. Several entrepreneurs agree without question at the policy, allowing keepers to watch over them and commit to community service should they fail to pay back the loan.  <br>
<br>
- Everynia has enacted a 'quid pro quo' policy regarding the College of Middburg. In exchange however, each mage is obligated to train 10 men-at-arms in case of magic attack on their people for each of the arcane schools involved. Although the College of Middburg had no knowledge of the areas in Everynia, they were at least happy enough to teach the people what to look out for. The terms were made, the deal expires in 5 years as Everynia was also obligated to turn any magical contraband to the College.<br>

			The Korkari are tribes ruled by the High Lordship of Dontos Estley. As history has told the Korkari’s origins were separate tribes before the Empire was formed by Everyn Melgaeron. In reality you might as well call them the first line of defense against the horrors that invade Human territory. They’re similar to the Borghildr as they’re a hardened people that serves to protect their homes because they have to. Empire, horde, invasion. That never stopped from a man going out on his own terms before.<br>

- The Korkari Mining industry seeks out another deposit of minerals to create new jobs. The miners were hoping they would find another set of iron and silver and as luck would have it, they did. During a work day, a set of scouting has led to a large deposit of iron and silver ready to be mined. By the end of Apri, a mine was founded in order to extract these resources. <br>
<br>
- The general army of the Korkari was organized into militias led by tribe leaders. To increase the quality of the militias, the leader of the Korkari enacted weapon shipments when supplying conscripted peasants and militia. But tragedy struck as these weapon shipments the lords promised lacked quality and eventually frustrated the commoners, citing them to protest for better equipment for defending their homes.<br>
<br>
- Being a primary based economy, the land itself lacked sizable towns and lands with only three urban towns. Dontos ordered iron smelteries for the metals their miners found on duty, making sure they were made into refined goods for their stores in their towns. The bad news was the construction went extremely slow even for the Korkari standards.<br>
<br>
- The good news has arrived however despite the iron smelteries. Dontos Estley authorized the construction of a new canal that would help transport resources to foothills, to the towns, to the villages, to your mother’s house etc. Ease of mind was the intention. And thankfully they learned from their mistakes as labor managed to start construction on the canal.  <br>
<br>
- With the threat of orc and goblin invasion looming from the north, the Korkari wanted to secure a trade delegation between Brimnir hoping to establish a defensive pact. Three tribal leaders along with Meric Estley were sent there to meet up with the Dwarves. Of course like any beneficial relationship, someone had to pay up the tribute. Brimnir’s King was clearly interested in a defensive pact however, he needed to be sure the Korkari would pay their end of the deal otherwise the Dwarves are going to left empty handed.<br>
<br>
- In addition to negotiating a trade with Brimnir, Dontos has ordered 100 freeriders to march north, divided into 4 equal groups of 25. The command was a scouting purpose to make sure there’s no creatures preparing to invade their land, reporting it back to the mainland if there was. The scouting trip had a slow pace at first but the freerider learned to shrug it off like true Korkari men and get the job done. The 100 freeriders stood by, waiting in case of anyone dared to step in.<br>

			The Kingdom of Brotinnstao was a sea power, protected by its navy along with elite trained soldiers in the isles. Although the Elven Kingdoms have seen better days since Emperor Everyn V’s invasion, the Elves have survived, surely to regain their losses. Brotinnstao like other Elves are more advanced than human civilizations, enjoying the luxuries such as paper and better equipment. But I’ve witnessed Elves before and there’s nothing more telling than the fact they love to boast about their achievements. These interesting times will truly tell if Brotinnstao will stand the test of time, so I shall see.<br>

</blockquote><br>
-  An important aspect of mastering the seas is to extend your presence before others can. Brotinnstao’s mission was to make as many friends as possible. If you don’t, you’d sunk. The first mission was to head towards Iguria, lizardmen whose intentions are not known to Numerya. A small expedition traveled there during the year, the Leader of Iguria Sion although skeptical agreed on a trade agreement, offering valuable skins and exotic animals like the rare tuco bird that camouflages around its environment.<br>
<br>
- After a successful trade agreement with Igura, the expedition’s mission was not over yet. The continent of Mesados is a diverse place filled with exotic creatures and unknown resources. They proceeded to the north, meeting the people of Cythia. Not knowing what to expect, the expedition encountered boats on fish hunting. On foot, they were greeted by females dressed in armor at least 5’10 tall on average. These women greeted them with skepticism and despite the expedition’s offers on a lucrative trade agreement the Cythian warriors weren’t looking for a trade deal at the moment. The female warriors allowed the expedition to rest and move on in the morning.<br>
<br>
- The expedition’s final mission was to head to Borghildr, which immediately earned some concern within the Elven crew. But alas such was the order of the Kingdom, moving up on Borghildr’s shores to make a trade deal despite relations between both races. The expedition at the meeting point assured it was by all means business, not personal as some kingdoms would take it. The King of Borghildr took their words into consideration, harboring no ill will despite history. With that said, the Kingdom wasn’t interested in a trade at the moment. Once more the expedition moved on, returning home.<br>
<br>
- The entire Kingdom has passed a law that introduces mandatory sunday school through the Innleystic churches. Elven children are expected to learn how to read and write, including the commoners. The sudden law although noble has caused somewhat of difficulty as kids are learning the skill at a slow pace. <br>
<br>
- The state of affairs in Brotinnstao called for their mages to perform services throughout the capital. The first action is the Magus of Dawn helping out the population with simple magic spells such as water purification and healing without overexerting themselves. The Magus’s appentiences also took notes in mind, allowing them to know that purity and selflessness is key. It was said the more you utilize White Magic, the more you feel the need to help out others in contrast using Black Magic for selfish reasons. Such a philosophy the Magus stressed inspired the people on learning responsibility.<br>
<br>
- Several officials in the territories made sure to register all forms of properties in the kingdom in order to keep tabs on buildings. A major reason was to sell any vacant property to merchants and manufacturers for production of goods. The Kingdom would hope to sway potential buyers with a discount 1/6th of the original price. The issue in reality was the amount of property officials needed to register over the year <br>

			Mallen-Tol’s strategy was different than other Dwarven Kingdoms in that they wanted to expand outwards and make friends. While kingdoms like Brimnir were content on staying underground, the High Regnant needed to insure they carved a mighty legacy for them/himself. And what better way to do that making a few friends to watch your back?<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/hud2mallenturn1-png.590943/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/527/527903-4b7520410f72644c4480194e12a56e4f.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="590943" title="590943" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>

</blockquote><br>
- Mallen-Tol’s interest in foreign policy has only grown with the High Regnant, who wishes to play a hand in foreign affairs. A caravan emissary is sent towards Sigharis, witnessing human subjects going about their daily lives said to pay a blood tax in exchange for better living conditions. While Natalia initially wasn’t interested in dealing with Mallen-Tol, their skill in diplomacy and their negotiation assured her they weren’t a threat to her kingdom. The Dwarves and the Vampires in Sigharis has allowed relations should important things come up but at the moment, there was no further need.<br>
<br>
- General reforms are called upon for the Mallen-Tol, starting with a charter to create a city guard at Dain Frostforge’s suggestion. The city guard would be called the Khazermallen, armed with short axes and at least 120 recruited. The 120 are comprised of the middle class with few from peasantry, policed by Duergor's office. The Khazermallen patrol the city with ease, with the occasional crime dealt with.<br>
<br>
- To feed more water efficiently, Mallen-Tol has ordered aqueducts for underground fisheries and cisterns. The Dwarves were more than prepared to deal with the workload, sending their brightest engineers for the job and made a plan how they were going to finish it. The Engineers piped drinking water in the squares of the city while the fisheries are maintained by the Husbandry Guild. Over the course of the year the dwarves did a pretty good job at setting their systems without any problems. A bit too well when the fishermen grew enough members to apply for their own guild, taking some of the slice.<br>
<br>
- Mallen-Tol in the wake of reforms adopts a new coinage currency for the kingdom, in the shape of squares with rounded corners. 1 gold Tollian = 2 Butollian = 20 silver Silfurs = 40 Semsilfurs = 100 bronze Buffgravels = 400 copper Buffgrains. The currency was immediately used during the year, allowing citizens to recognize these coins and use them.<br>
<br>
- Because of economic purpose any Dwarven citizen who wishes to do commerce or trade without a Council of Guilds charter is forbidden to leave the Kingdom. This was met with harsh criticism from the vocal dwarves who’d prefer the economic freedom than some caravan system for a very specific reason. These trade armies called Khazerthruns are supposed to be armed for a good cause but those vocal dwarves weren’t having it and since when did dwarves ever not put up an argument before?<br>
<br>
- Despite the vocal criticism, the Council of Guilds weren’t backing down on their decision as they created an open charter for people to sign on to Middburg. The High Regnant’s special request was to find any historical artifacts of magical origin. The Khazerthrun made their long trip towards Middburg probably because they heard they had a magical college in the city so go figure. Now, historical artifacts of magical origin don’t grow on trees, usually back then they were crafted by craftsmen and mages for a specific reason like enchanting a weapon for example. Now what they would call this enchanting object was a <b>rune stone</b>, a magical object that can make an object very durable and provide spiritual energy for the wielder. What kind of energy? I don’t fucking know. All I’m aware about is that they’re very expensive and rare to find nowadays. But nonetheless the Khazerthrun paid very good currency to get their hands on the thing.<br>

			The Legion was an up and coming sellsword company committed to professionalism and siege warfare. Comprised of over a thousand half elves with their own equipment and skills they’ve been trying to hone over the years. There are two types of sellswords in the world, one who cares about their reputation and one who doesn’t care about their reputation. In a world where which lord has the biggest armies it’s a competition to see which company is going to reap the biggest contract in a war. Fame climbs, mediocrity sinks. In a way, a contract is like dog fighting, which dog’s the biggest and which owner’s going to win the battle in the end? Not the pup that’s for sure.<br>

</blockquote><br>
- In order to hone their skills for upcoming contracts, Kazirian mercs are ordered to go through training exercises. But disaster strikes as a strange flu has caused many men and women to go ill during the year, delaying their training. Some merchants from their home villages wandered in the stronghold, having experience in this before. They called it ‘Spring Fever’ a sickness that comes home to home and causing mysterious illness, leaving some to die if not taken care of. Fortunately as the year ended, the Fever disappeared leaving no casualties on the Legion’s end. However, because of the sickness, no training improved any skill.<br>
<br>
- But the Legion’s struggles weren’t over as during their progress a scouting party was ordered to explore the south-eastern river and to secure the area. But before the Fifteen had any reports sent through their messengers, the entire scouting party disappeared off the radar. Despite rescue efforts to find out what happened, the scouting party of three was never seen again. <br>
<br>
- To increase the quality of troops Kazirians were asked to read and write. Now, passing information down through word of mouth? That’s easy because it’s called murmuring . Reading and writing? Not so much when you’re in a band of sellswords. And unfortunately they hit a stump on their journey to literacy when the sellswords complained about the usefulness on the topic. And even if some mercs agreed to it, the learning process caused them to struggle, not to mention there was more work to be done than writing the alphabet. <br>
<br>
- On the other hand, map navigation? That’s useful. The company attempted to teach new recruits navigation including military tactics like their siege specialty to train their army. But new recruits in any military take time as the veterans would witness again as the recruits are too stubborn to learn anything nowadays.   <br>
<br>
- With the newly arrived engineers here to help the company, they are ordered to find out if a water mill was possible. But thankfully enough it was geographically possible to plan a water mill there close. Their efforts have led to an early construction plan should they ever build one.<br>
<br>
- Because the Legionnaires have families within the stronghold, the idea of insuring some form of payment to family members wasn’t a bad idea. The proposal is that a dead merc’s relative was to receive compensation in small coin from the treasury and soon enough everyone agreed despite several who disagreed.   <br>

			Acrad was founded 1500 years ago by the surviving Elven of the Ancient Kaz'Rael and the great proto-kazarok migrations. Human and Elven together? Not an impossible idea according to their history. Unfortunately the nation state is constantly suffering from the harsh desert of Kaz'Rael and raiding parties. Only this republic can try to restore it to its old state.<br>

</blockquote><br>
- During the year, the republic set their eyes towards the Kingdom of Brotinnstao. They approved a diplomatic mission to meet up with the Kingdom and to propose a non-aggression pact dubbed the Acradian-Elven Sea Pact. The aim was to secure the trade in the western seas and conducting anti-piracy raids and patrols in order to bolster both nations prosperity and sea territory. The proposal is open for negotiation from the elven parts, should they wish to slightly modify any terms or objectives, within acceptable conditions and in the spirit of good will.<br>
<br>
- In a devious yet complex plan the High General and the High Councilor have devised a way to upset the unclaimed region between Acrad and Borghildr. The covert mission was simple, disrupt the villages way of life by disguising themselves as Borghilder people. The disguised men lit up the forestry, leaving a wake of panicking villagers and raided mines in the process. The false flag mission was a work of brilliance and success with a little bit of luck on their side. The villagers grew uncivil and wanted retribution on the Borghildr people, citing them as barbarians.<br>
<br>
- In a power move, the magistrates have passed a law that would dwell into the research of ancient elven relics from the ruins of Az'Karel. Because of passing this law, the Church of His Holyness was outraged such a forbidden thing is now allowed. Because of this act has caused the Church to rally under the religious people armed with torches, protesting due to the study of this heresy. The protests stay during the year, pouring over to the next as it grows more uncivil and restless.<br>
<br>
- To oversee their operations over the trade route and to patrol their shores, the Admirality has ordered ships to establish outposts in the nearby isles. Two convoys as a start made sure to explore the nearest islands in the sea channel, setting up small buildings as their HQ.<br>
<br>
- During the year Acrad had passed the "Citizenship Construction Act" ratified by the High Councilor. The act’s purpose is to prevent strain on the economy and to forbid slaves as a workforce in construction. This means patrons and companies are forced to use paid labor of citizens to work on any construction project in Acrad. Although the act hoped to build jobs for civilians, the action itself caused a large amount of criticism from the wealthy, leading them to either not obey with the act or pay laborers less than expected to save money. <br>

			Cephalonia serves to call itself the true successor to the Adelram Empire and the current leader claims to be a part of the Stormstrum Dynasty, related to the Melgaerons for their bastard blood. Now is he telling the truth? I wouldn’t know. But Cephalonia’s ambition is quite admirable in these dark times.<br>

- Calling upon allies was a difficult challenge as not everyone expects to bow to an Emperor, such was the case of the diplomatic mission to Borghildr. The envoys of the Emperor was sent to the kingdom itself to discuss an offer towards the Borghildr if they can recruit men-at-arms for the Emperor's Skallargian Guard. The King of Borghildr heard every word and even though they were clearly good at diplomacy, a King does not bow to an Emperor. With no choice the envoys was sent away, then later an individual by the name of Juran Blackmont came towards them. He claimed to be the leader of the Brotherhood of Vultures and would swear service and his men should the Cephalonia promise them riches in return. Eventually, the Brotherhood of Vultures participated in the deal.<br>
<br>
- The Emperor’s army was ordered to construct a long dirt road hugging the river Vesuvio to the hinterlands of Cephalonia to the capital. The propose is to ensure safe travel and easy directions for the peasantry. Although there was an initial setback regarding construction, the newly arrived engineers solved the problem helming the project. The work schedule resumes as laborers and the engineers build the road. <br>
<br>
- Despite their lack of knowledge of a fully realized school, that didn’t stop construction from happening. Next to the grand cathedral of Aragos is where the makeshift school will be made for students who wish to learn. The Engineers get a headstart, working on the constructions with all the materials they had on site.<br>
<br>
- To collect tariffs more efficiently, Cephalonia is setting up toll booths combined with inventory checks in the road networks. This will also forbid illegal sales within major centers of trade and soon enough, the moment these wooden booths were established the rules were enforced. The move caused an influx of merchants heading to trade center conducting business as people went along their day while the toll booths worked perfectly.<br>
<br>
- Meanwhile the Emperor has ordered the construction of three outer walls: The Andronikos' wall, the second housing battlements and a third enclosing the moat for attackers. Like their makeshift school, the Engineers got to work on these walls, allowing for a slow but steady pace as they suffered no issues during the year.<br>
<br>
- A tax on imported luxury goods such as silk and ivory is set for the Empire. The intention was to bring in large revenues but leaving to affect the wealthy who buys these goods. This leaves a sour mood among the nobility as the increase in price causes several to resort through illegal means. <br>

			Mertidol is far away from Kazarok civilization and near the continent of I can’t tell you because I haven’t been there myself. The Paere are experiencing an upheaval of philosophy and the desire to educate themselves, isolated. Frankly, I don’t blame them when other humans are fighting over material goods.<br>

- Looking towards to the outside world, eventually they all knew they needed to cooperate with their fellow sprightes. The government reached out to the minority groups to reconfirm Octopon's authority over the island. But the other groups weren’t so interested in the whole cooperation thing. The groups eventually went to their daily routines, dismissing Mertidol’s cooperation offer.  <br>
<br>
- The Paere after the failure of reuniting their other groups sought out another way. During their time thinking about whatever Paere do, they remembered the Horte had a knack of taming wildlife that can take them beyond the isles and into the near continent. They send out scouts to find where the coastal clan might be, asking around and looking at trails. Eventually they made a breakthrough when one of the locals talked about a bunch of Horte nearby.<br>
<br>
- Worrying about their safety the government needed to make sure things don’t go down flames as I would say. Therefore they passed a motion to raise more warriors for Mertidol and so they did. The majority of Mertidol agreed their force reached a new low record, encouraging their fellow Paere to protect their people. Their efforts weren’t in vain as they quickly raised up to 100 Paere warriors in the process.<br>
<br>
- Mertidol people consider mythology and philosophy very important nowadays and when you start to think about it, mythos and social constructs don’t spawn out of nowhere. It all comes down to history as a Human scholar would scribe it like. When we ask a lot of questions about why is it so? It’s because people tend to fill in the blanks with their own theories. Did some foolish jester accidently create the Divine God because someone asked why was the sky blue? Well, the Paere wanted to further education because they relied on memories to do the work for them, but motivation demanded change! The government encouraged education for the youth, leaving a few inspired students to found an early archive of some sorts.<br>
<br>
- With the introduction of education came the interest in magic. The Paere looked at magic at a basic view and to be fair that’s usually the common thought in Kazarok itself. Sometimes a commoner asks me how can I, a poor jester barely able to afford a cup of ale create fire at my own fingertips? Well the simple answer is through training and learning. And that’s the first step Mertidol was going to figure out as a few air mages learned. The air mages quickly came on to the fact by utilizing the air, they weren’t creating air themselves, but they were harnessing their surroundings to use the air. Winds allow air to move, and the stronger the wind, the more an air user has an advantage.   <br>
<br>
- Meridol had to admit their roads and infrastructure had seen better days as time went by. Time is undefeatable unfortunately but the Faere began to investigate if reconstruction efforts was possible. While it was certainly doable, the damage within the paths and roads left it extremely damaged, taking large amounts of the Paere’s time if they wanted to repair it or even start all over from scratch. <br>

			Riflheim, said to trace its origins from the Adelram Empire like Hildemar. Von Rosen-Bilderbung ruled the province for centuries, prideful that their cities were the brightest. But pride pays a heavy price as Riflheim is a shadow of its former glory. Can William the Black do what it takes to turn the tide? We’ll have to see.<br>

</blockquote><br>
- The first thing Riflheim did to help out their own is to extend a hand to their own. Consider Hildemar an ally most states would die for having a friend. A diplomat of Riflheim traveled miles to the kingdom, pleading his case why a trade was so important in the long run of things. Threat of invasion, former province of Adelram, maintaining army? Checks out for Hildemar as they agreed to let them set up an embassy for economical purposes.<br>
<br>
- There’s a lot of up and coming states building schools and universities, institutions. But you need a large number of people to care if it’ll even benefit their petty self interests. Riflheim attempted to establish a college of learning starting with an air mage and a fire mage. Sounds easy right? Wrong. It all started with their bright engineers attempted to figure out what would they need in this college. The cost itself to this was expensive to the point people were wondering if this project will start. Eventually the construction got off but extremely slow despite the engineer efforts. But in due time, as they made a break as the year ended.<br>
<br>
- Speaking of extremely slow, Riflheim wanted to rebuild their broken water systems throughout their city of the century. They started work on the aqueducts and the plumbing but during there was a lack of progress going around with construction. Workers feel demotivated at the lack of organization and dying commoners wandering. It left a foul taste among the engineers as much as they tried, lifting the workload by a small margin. <br>
<br>
- With the need for organization and order, Riflheim ordered their bureaucracy to expand. The first expansion was the tax collection bureau to record tribute/tax within the city. Unlike the construction jobs, the expansion went smoothly allowing Riflheim to make sure its citizens were paying their taxes. Their next focus was to look at local businesses.<br>
<br>
- To provide an incentive for farmers to increase crop yields, the state was allowing very low-interest loans but the idea worried commoners. But nonetheless some farmers applied, but the returns in investment wasn’t what Riflheim was expecting. Crop yields themselves weren’t rising and so far no one knew what where was the currency going towards? And then it turns out the farmers were spending it on tits and wine than their farms. To be honest, who wouldn’t?<br>
<br>
- In what seemed to be a very rough year for the state. A hope spot had arrived in the form of material goods the miners extracted in the old empire mines. These workers hit the major jackpot as they found a large deposit of silver and coal which can easily be sold in the markets.<br>

			Like Riflheim, Courgeaux was considered part of the Adelram Empire but the Silvain I made sure he took matters into his own hands from here on. With the control of a port city, he controlled the trade routes and who was allowed to sell. But that only meant more responsibility on handling piracy, dealing with wood elves, and making sure the commoners paid tribute.<br>

- Courgeaux is considered what some of the locals there call cousins to the Bastien Kingdom. Being diplomats at heart and with a little silver of luck, the King managed to sway his firstborn daughter Solange d'Lavigne to the court of King Loren himself. Though this wasn’t courtly love of the sort but rather courtly partnership. A lord arranges a political marriage, gives a daughter to a charming prince. Forges a pretty good marriage pact between the lordships.<br>
<br>
- As I said before, Courgeaux had the unfortunate responsibility of dealing with elves at first hand. The Wood Elves while not malicious in nature, have a long track record of thievery and harassment. The Kingdom recognized these problems and had an idea that would act as a win-win scenario for both. The same protection you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours thing everyone uses. They’re also called favors. The Kingdom sent their glorious knights riding their horses to project the idea they’re here to help out the people for the people. And soon enough they accepted because it was better than to get help than get attacked. Now, when it comes to peasantry and your life is dictated by the dangers of rapists, thieves, monsters all you gotta do is swear fealty to your new best friend, the King of the Kingdom! Now a King isn’t so bad, all they ask in return is to send lots of food, go to war and get killed, completely oblivious to your daily needs, and quarter troops in your home while being at the bottom of society. Ain’t life completely fucked up?     <br>
<br>
- The lords of Courgeaux are given sanctions now that the frontiers were open for business. This led to many colonizations efforts become officially part of the kingdom itself. The effort went as smooth as butter, with no issues at hand.<br>
<br>
- In the process, this allowed for new knights and reinforcement of their properties now that the frontiers became an occurrence in the year. These knights gathered as much men-at-arms as possible but the result was less fruitful than they hoped.<br>
<br>
- Meanwhile, King Silvain allowed the master of coin to direct trade families to do what they did best, commit business in parts of the city while competing with Bastien to see which one was going to last. While the trade contracts were increasing, this still wasn’t enough to drive Bastia off the trading game. <br>

<i>The Unknown Place </i><br>
The hooded figure walked towards Laughing Jack, observing him juggle flaming oranges in the air. But once his attention turned to the hooded individual his act failed, dropping the oranges on the floor. Jack sighed, shrugging it off before he greeted her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">“Ah. Hello again, back for more I suppose? Now that we got through the basics of magic, it’s time we start learning about the real politics of Kazarok. Let’s start off with what everyone knows by now, the Adelram Empire. Now I know what you’re thinking, you know all about this stuff. But what if someone quizzes you on who founded the Empire in the first place? If you’re going to imitate your role model, start listening.”</span> Jack pointed out, sitting on a wooden chair adjusting his posture to play the lute.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">“Now let’s hear what this sounds like.”</span><br>
<br>
As you know by now before the Empire, were petty kingdoms and tribes who fought over for land and gold in the center of Kazarok. To the north was a sprawling Orc/Goblin invasion that completely infested the area, pitting slave trades and human sacrifices. The number one greatest danger to a society is not knowing what’s hurting the society, when humans fight each other you think hordes give a damn? I don’t think so.<br>
<br>
Fortunately, that all changed when a man named Everyn Melgaeron took matters into his own hands. Everyn used to rule in the west region of Kazarok alongside his sister-wife Velena Melgaeron. When the series of orc invasions threatened Human and Dwarven society, someone had to step in.<br>
<br>
The Melgaerons forged an alliance between the Humans and the Dwarven Kingdoms, putting a stop to the invasions and repelled them all. The military achievements they’ve made such as Everyn’s Road took them ten winters. The commoners called him Everyn the Hero, Everyn the Uniter. He then founded the Adelram Empire within the center of Kazarok, he called the capital Kazmura. Ever since its foundation, the city thrived with tourism and experienced a population boom. Many civilians considered it to be one of the greatest cities in all of Nasroth, making Elven kingdoms envy the craftsmanship. <br>
<br>
Now children ask all the time what was living in the Empire like that was so different from other kingdoms? Well clean water for starters, their religion believed everyone was loved by the Divine God and if they recited his teachings, they will be saved for eternity. The Empire had this magical steel they would use for weapons on the battlefield secretly crafted. And get this, gender was no object. How? Well magic and Melgaeron tradition with a little convincing on priests make good equalizers.<br>
<br>
His sister Velena established the Knights of the Divine, she was more used to warfare than ladyship if you hadn’t noticed by now. The impact the Knights had on the continent inspired knighthood to rise among independent kingdoms who worshipped the Divine God. Orders like these were prestigious enough this was seen as a commoner's only way to fame and glory. How granting knighthood worked was any knight or royal could bestow the title Ser upon a squire. Thankfully, there are few accounts of the playful knight granting knighthood upon a drunken peasant or his own horse.  <br>
<br>
Everyn The Hero committed his duty as Emperor of the Empire to make sure he satisfied the lords of the realms. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end as the heroic Uniter held court on a dull day, pushing 52. After a tiring evening Everyn spent time with his son who would later become Tristian the Holy. They played in the gardens but something was wrong. Everyn clenched his chest, feeling his heart stopping for a moment. The Emperor collapsed as the Empire burned him through Melgaeron tradition.      <br>
<br>
Tristian Melgaeron became Emperor shortly after his father’s passing, crowned by the High Ecclesial of the Grand Temple. Now keep in mind these two will become very best friends over their careers, uplifting the religion significantly to the point any Kazarok kingdom can recognize it by the Comet Star. Tristian the Holy became holy because he realized the commoners needed guidance and to explain why the natural order of the world is what it is, because God wills it. And when God wills it people obey, because he said so.<br>
<br>
The Grand Temple kept heresies and heretics in check through holy orders such as the White Wardens. These wardens clad in plate armor were to stomp out people saying the wrong things at the wrong time. People who had different gods were lucky the White Wardens took mercy on them as the Empire under Tristian enacted tolerance. Critics of Tristian can preach all they want, but the guy wasn’t stupid enough to refuse a tolerance tax when he saw one. This helped the Adelram in the long run when they were maintaining a standing army to show everyone who's boss. They sure showed the Orcs and Goblins huh?<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">“The Adelram Empire was truly the beacon of civilization and there are various things we can talk about its full history. How Naerys became the first Empress after a devastating civil war, how the Stormstrums took over after Everyn The Terrible. But for today, let’s end this lesson and remember the peak of Humanity. Farewell...”</span> Laughing Jack ended the lesson, as the hooded individual walked away.<br>

Lady Regent Jasmine Floella<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Government (Elected Council):</b><br>
Ruler is elected every 10 years by the populace. The elected person becomes Lord or Lady Regent and has overall responsibility for all lands and peoples. The Regent selects a Council which seats once per week in Carrafeld to discuss all pertinent matters. Seats on the Council:<br>
<br>
Grand Purser – Head of the Merchants’ Guild. Responsible for trade, commerce, and taxes.<br>
<br>
Grand Artisan – Head of the Labourers’ Guild. Responsible for infrastructure, farming and blacksmithing.<br>
<br>
Grand Magician – Head of the Guild of Magicks and Other Intrigues. Advisor of healing and magic, and weather-reading to anticipate droughts and floods.<br>
<br>
General – Head of the Cavalry Corps. Military advisor.<br>
<br>
Magistrate – Responsible for law and order. Keeps the peace.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Religion:</b> Polytheism<br>
<br>
<b>Of the founding:</b><br>
The People of the Plains is a republic formed only 200 years ago, but born out of catastrophe. The Plainspeople lived far to the east* and had been ruled by Kings for centuries. A great plague spread across the land, killing nearly three quarters of the population. King Solomon locked himself away in his castle and let his people fend for themselves. A humble butcher by the name of Derwin Bronch led an exodus of 200 people to flee the plague and find a new home. These pioneers forged their way west through Mesados before finally settling on the great prairies. It was a harsh first few years before they found their feet, and many more perished in this inhospitable and unfamiliar land.<br>
These new People of the Plains decided that they never wanted to be abandoned by an inept ruler again. Having got them this far, Derwin Bronch was exhausted and wanted to retire. He suggested that they elect a new leader, and he would not run in the election. The people decided to hold an election every 10 years.<br>
The largest town, Carrafeld, serves as capital and Seat of the Council. It is situated on the banks of a large lake which was formed of glacial meltwater. Streams outflow from it throughout the prairies and is the main source of water. The prairies are mixed grass – vast swathes of scrubland with some copses of trees. The Plainspeople call it “The Stalk Sea.” Herd of bison and elk graze, and provide the main source of protein. The Jarin-Tor, a powerful breed of horses, were tamed and are used in many forms of work and military life. The temperature is hot and there is always a howling wind. Drought is a common adversary, and is often followed by a flash flood. The people are usually tanned and leather-skinned from the elements.<br>
<br>
<b>Of The Sickness:</b><br>
The pioneers that settled in this land were tough. They had survived a great plague, and all had lost family and friends. But the relentless sun and wind on the prairies, combined with the deep loneliness which many homesteaders felt, caused many to suffer from severe mental health issues. This became known as The Sickness. In recent years it has started to decline with improved road networks and communication with the outside world.<br>
<br>
<b>Of the infrastructure:</b><br>
Carrafeld is the largest town and capital. Outside of Carrafeld, the populace live in homesteads, many of which are working farms. A collection of homesteads are designated as a shire. The Magistrate recruits a Shire Reeve for every shire, to keep the peace and resolve neighbour disputes. In case of marauding bandits, the Shire Reeve can deputise a posse of locals to hunt down the bandits. Almost all Plainspeople grew up with horses and can ride competently. Their environment made them tough and they will band together in defence of their lands. The buildings are single storey and made from wood and clay.<br>
Most homesteaders work the land – many farm cattle and other animals, but there is also some arable farming. Most large shires have a smith to make tools and horseshoes, and weapons in times of war.<br>
<br>
<b>Of the military:</b><br>
The standing army is The Cavalry Corps, and is almost exclusively a mounted army. The Jarin-Tor are powerful horses, calm and intelligent in combat. ‘The Outriders’ are small regiments tasked with defending the borders of the country from bandits and beasts.<br>
Riders are armed with spears and swords, and wear leather armour. There is also a mounted archer regiment.<br>

Acrad, one morning at the Palce of Jubilee...<br>​</div>The dust from the bright teal roof of the palace  went off into the wind, seemingly scattering in the blink of an eye. The song of the birds echoed through the bustling narrow cobbled streets of the capital. It was a busy usual day, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeOg8iCFfTA" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DNeOg8iCFfTA&amp;hash=b4c657a4d5c64052ac7414b84e36959f" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">atmosphere</a> gently reminding each and everyone of how they belonged to a sprawling settlement. Making their way through the crowds of the streets, amidst a cruel inviting smell of freshly baked bread, various carriages carrying nobles have arrived in the Jubilee Plaza. Among the nobles, on foot, were the other commoners making their way in a hurry to catch the annual speech of the Chancellor.<br>
<br>
Along the marble tiles of the Palace's lobby, Chancellor Aurelion is making his way in haste in order to reach his contingent of elite guardsmen, waiting just in front of the main entrance to the Palace. A tremendous crowd awaited him outside, with the entire members of the Council sitting in the front row seats. Various nobles were seen behind the line formed by the guardsmen, each setting up a lavish wooden chair for themselves, shoving their fan up and down in order to resist the heat of the sun. The wealthier men could be distinguished either by their slaves who held an umbrella, or by wearing stylish hats. After the nobles and their guards, then came the common folk, each fighthing the heat of the morning in their own ways, either by staying hydrated or by covering their head with scarfs. <br>
<br>
<i><b>"Whether you are a citizen or a foreigner, a common man or a noble, I hereby bid you all the warmest greetings, Acrad! Before we being the inauguration of our yearly Independence Triumph celebration, I will start with a small speech that I've been eager to share. It has been a year of trials, no doubt. For all of us. In the light of recent criticism from our own people....some regarding religious affairs and some regarding the Citizenship Construction Act, I pledge that, together with my faithful colleagues in the Council, we will try and remediate any problems that already happened and might happen, so that we will continue to resume our lives in the spirit of acradian peacefulness and productibility. That is correct, your elected leaders do care about all the opinions of this great city, and it is with our sincere hope that both sides of every conflict can come to an understandable agreement, whether we are talking about the authorities, the Church or our citizens. Without bothering you further with promises that you might, of course, not  believe yet, I shall move forward with my statements. Borghildr, a nation ever thirsty for more, has made all the necessary attempts at distrupting the lives, villages and stealing resources. For intimidation? A possible attempt at expanding? For now, we cannot pronounce, but make sure that our people, especially High General Olum himself which I see there back behind the councillors, assured us all that all the necessary precautions shall be taken in order to avoid further violence and repugnant actions by those self-entitled civilized warmongers. With that out of the way, I shall end with delightful news, for all of us. Peace has once again won, thanks to the efforts of our diplomats in Bronntistao. Our half-cousins, as you can call them by all means, the elves have considered and accepted our proposal to unify our front against the pirate criminals that have been plaguing the seas for so long. As I'm speaking, our brave boys and their allies are mastering the waves in search of greater security for our prosperity. I do believe some bronntistan diplomats are here today, watching from the crowd as I speak. I salute you, and wish your nation a bright future next to us. And now, heh he, enough with this political chat. I officially declare the Independence Day started as of now! Glory to the Republic and all it stands for!"</b></i></div>

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 22px"><b>The Apprentice</b></span></span>​</div><br>
About a days ride from the main Gor'Mok encampment was a secluded group of lakes enclosed by rolling hills and a calm wind which gave the area a feeling of serenity as well as a innate connection with its surroundings: both of which were important for a shaman when training. As Drekar watched from his tent upon one of the hills to the lakeside below however, he saw that his apprentice still had much to learn. She was a promising student as she had progressed this far beyond most of her peers, but like any young orc she was impulsive, brash, strong-willed, and very emotional. All of these would have to be rectified in order for her to continue on, but one quality she did display that Drekar admired was her perseverance throughout the shamanic trials. The old orc slowly stood up with the help of his oaken staff and wordlessly walked downwards to speak with her. He saw that she was trying a spell on the waters she was standing in, but to little effect. She could only move and manipulate them a little, and she was getting visibly frustrated over it.<br>
<br>
"Perhaps you ought to clear your mind, Morn." Drekar commented, startling the young orc. She hadn't heard him approach due to her focus. She quickly regathered herself even if she was both frustrated and slightly embarrassed at herself. She wanted to speak, perhaps to give another excuse, but stopped herself short of doing so when she saw that he was not done speaking. "Come. We can go under the tree over there, you would help an old orc find some shade, yes?"<br>
<br>
"O-of course Master Drekar!" she quickly spoke as she got out of the waters and walked beside her elder. The journey wasn't far, as there were only a few trees in this region. But the tree that Drekar specifically mentioned was indeed a strange one. It was much larger than its neighbors, and seemed to belong more in a dense forest than it did in these rolling hills and plains. Yet, here it stood as a testament to nature's hardiness. And within the hour, they both found themselves within its cool shadow it cast on the ground below. Drekar sat on one end of a small patch of dirt while Morn sat on the other so that they faced one another. The elder orc placed his staff across his lap and looked towards his apprentice as if to chastise her, but instead was rather calm in his tone as he spoke to her.<br>
<br>
"Frustration is understandable, but these things take time to get used to. You will fail, over and over and over again until you finally learn. That is normal. But to progress in any way, you must temper your nature and find an inner peace with your surroundings." he spoke to her as he observed her demeanor.<br>
<br>
"I know... it's just that I don't know <i>how </i>to do that." Morn quietly said. "I don't know where to start or end, I don't know how to get from <i>here to there</i>."<br>
<br>
Drekar pondered for a moment before chuckling. "Close your eyes."<br>
<br>
Morn looked confused for a moment before she followed his instruction.<br>
<br>
"Now breath... focus. Focus on your surroundings. Feel the earth... its rumbling and breathing. The air and how it flows around us. The waters of the lakes and their bounties... all of them. Find them and feel them become a part of you. And afterwards they will become an extension of yourself."<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
<i>A few weeks later...</i><br>
<br>
Morn stood ankle deep in the lake once more, this time with Drekar standing and watching intently nearby. This would be her first true test to see what she had learned after all this time. Morn herself felt nervous, but as she learned from before she quickly closed her eyes and took a breath. She calmed herself and positioned herself with her own makeshift staff, which was a thick wooden branch with a large conch attached to its end. Following her teacher's advice, she focused inwards as she did motions with her staff over the waters. For the first few minutes, nothing happened save for the small movements of water she was capable of bringing forth. A growing frustration began to swell within her, but once again she fought it back and continued to focus.<br>
<br>
Her battle with her own emotions continued as she went through the motions as Drekar watched from the shore. In silence, he hoped that she was capable as he observed over his pupil. He knew that this battle was both physical and mental for her, and that she needed to endure and win both. A hard task for any orc to follow through on.<br>
<br>
Nearly a half hour passed as Morn continued to hone herself and her focus on the waters. It seemed as if it was fruitless, and doubt began to settle in her mind and cloud her thoughts. Was she really up to the task? Could she ever meet the expectations placed upon her? Was Drekar wrong to take her up? A flood of emotions now began to pour into her mind as she now truly struggled to focus, and was on the brink of giving up entirely. She whimpered a little as she continued, now exhausted both in body and mind as she aimlessly continued on. And then something clicked in her mind. <i>This</i> was the test put before her. Not to summon the waters, but to summon her own strength of will and mind. How could she ever control the waters if she couldn't control the things that held her back? And as quickly as she realized this, her determination shattered her fears, doubts, and anger and soon enough the waters beneath her rumbled and swirled around in a frenzy. And before long, she raised her arms, and the waters followed and she gave off a yell of joy with her discovery.<br>
<br>
And as she looked to him, Drekar gave a proud smile and nodded to her in approval.<br>

Captain Morgan Po sat astride his horse and stared at the plume of smoke rising from the remains of a nearby homestead. He was atop a low hill, a rarity which broke the monotony of the vast plains. At his back were a dozen men, all solid and capable. Outriders. Scouts for the Cavalry Corps. Charged with protecting their borders from bandits and beasts.<br>
They had been riding towards the smoke for several hours, and were now close enough to sit and watch for any signs of life. They could see none. Eventually Captain Po led them forward to the homestead, a small cluster which only yesterday had consisted of a main house and several outbuildings.<br>
<br>
Their thoroughbred Jarin-Tor horses, not prone to panic or flight, remained calmly at the edge of the horrifying scene. The ashen husks of the buildings were cooling and the men were able to pick their way carefully through the debris. Thomas Gubb held aloft a pair of small burned shoes and Captain Po made his way over to him. At his feet were the charred remains of a child. Around him the other men made similar discoveries as the fate of this family was laid bare. Po stared north at the distant horizon for several seconds, then west, and then south. Eventually he reached a decision.<br>
Turning to Gubb he said “it’s at least a day’s hard riding to Backwater from here. Get there as fast as you can and raise the alarm. Have word sent to Lady Regent Floella and General Commodus. Then find the local Shire Reeve and track us. We’ll leave the usual signals. Oh and Gubber – don’t spare the horses.”<br>
<br>
With a nod Gubber returned to his horse and galloped southeast towards Backwater. The remaining men gathered around Po, who had resumed staring north. “What next, Cap’n?” Someone asked. Po looked at the remains of the child at his feet.<br>
“First we dig. And then we hunt.”</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><i>R’azan, 7004</i><br>
Robert Lother and a few companions wore heavy cloaks to shield themselves from the harsh winter. Out here in the land of the R'azan laid cold weather and little warmth. Robert himself wondered how the Children of Rod managed to keep themselves from dying in the cold like this. The silver suits and their magic might have something to do with that as he witnessed meeting with Mekar.<br>
<br>
“We’re just up ahead. Keep on going!” Robert shouted, visible breath coming from his mouth while his companions nodded, pressing onwards. They eventually saw a town of some sorts, getting closer when they felt a warm sensation as soon as they entered. Robert sighed a load of relief, meeting up with a few people covered in silver armor, faces hidden by humanoid helmets. Robert and his companions wandered forward into the town, wishing to meet up with Mekar.<br>
<br>
The town comprised of brick houses and huts, armored villagers sitting down in a group and meditating. Members of the Saboteur kept on moving, needing to see an old friend. They spotted a unique hut up ahead, allowing Robert to recognize this exact place. He widened his eyes, turning to several followers. “Wait here. I’ll be back shortly.” He said. The others complied, standing guard with the few villagers who stared at them silently. Robert came up to the large decorated hut, guarded by two warriors with spears. He then heard a faint voice coming from the house. The guards looked over their shoulders, giving a brief nod to Robert for some reason. The Captain stepped into the hut, staring at a large man dressed similarly to the other villagers in silver armor. The man wielded a large staff glowing blue at the end of it, almost mesmerizing.<br>
<br>
“Mekar.” Robert called out as he rubbed his hands for warmth while the leader turned. Mekar’s face was obscured by a steel helm similar to that of a skull. “To what do we owe to this visit Captain Lother?” Mekar stated to the weary sailor who was on haste on this trip. Robert heard the news spreading fast within his homeland. Major tensions and panic has led to a dangerous path. Robert mentioned his reasons for coming here.<br>
<br>
“We traveled a long way to speak with you. I know the Children of Rod are fighting Grisgoth, but I insist you hear me out. Borghildr’s facing a danger. I fear they could be going to war with Acrad. Relations are getting worse over the past three winters and I’m afraid we don’t have much time till my people go to war. If we don’t act now, thousands will die Mekar. Hearth has agreed to support their neighbor faction if a war ever breaks out. I never once took Hearth as dishonorable.” Robert explained as Mekar takes the time to hear him.<br>
<br>
“These series of events are known to us. But I take it you are here on behalf of King Halldor for aid should the time come.” Mekar answered with deep authority, getting closer towards Robert to get a closer look at the aging sailor.<br>
<br>
“I also need to know what’s going to happen next. What will become of Borghildr and families should they worry about the threat of invasion from the Acradians?!” Robert raised his voice leaving Mekar unfazed by this, he simply shook his head.<br>
<br>
“You are misunderstanding Lother, magic cannot predict events based on what we do know. I cannot truly predict possibilities, only what is probable. Only the Gods can give us a sign if we’re setting ourselves in the right direction. Relations between the Republic and Skalland were never on good terms. It would be inevitable they wouldn’t see eye to eye.” Mekar explained the idea behind their magic. Robert sighed in frustration.<br>
<br>
“You spoke of this prophecy, something that’s been told for thousands of winters during the Reign of Elves. Maybe this is a sign that we’re not seeing right now. Getting that dragon horn from the Elven woman has to mean something.”<br>
<br>
“A prediction, that may or may not happen. People have claimed Sunn will devour the world when its people have turned mad. Some have claimed the Titans will come back and rule over our way of life for eternity. So many predecessors have taken prophecies for granted that have left people to terrible fates. Understand in my footsteps I cannot allow faith to blind what’s written in front of us.”<br>
<br>
The answer gave no solution for the dangers in Robert's mind. He clenched his hands tightly to the point they went numb.<br>
<br>
“So what can we do then?” Robert said to the old friend. Mekar was silent for a short moment. At the moment the best case didn't rely on casting spells or even assassination. This aggression only served to spark an event Humans have feared. Mekar finally spoke.<br>
<br>
“Gather as many men as you can and so will the R’azan. Pray to the Gods our people will not suffer if the Elven Kingdoms are so daring. We need the King of Hildemar and others should we go to war..."<br>
<br>
<i>Behold, there will be a time when the blood of Maegon reawakens. When they do, they shall ignite the Spark of Armageddon that will lay all of Nasroth conquered. From the flames, a grand alliance will be forged from ambition, bringing about the end of an era.  </i><br>

4th Apri, 13th Day<br>
In ancient times people made fire because they were cold. People gathered food and sung songs together because they were stuck with each other. Ancient people have this inherent bond and experience we cannot fathom to imagine based on kinship and brotherly love. If we’re so civilized, how come we’re still fighting each other?<br>
<br>
Three years have passed and so far things are getting more intense for our political sphere of Kazarok. Alliances are being forged, and trade flows like any good business would. Magner the Spider said if you’re going to survive, you’re going to need a lot of allies you can call upon. Why do you need allies? Because no one likes to go to war alone.<br>

			With their discovery that the fact they weren’t alone in the world, it was inevitable Gor’mok found some friends after a harsh trip. Once they found a Gandan orc pack, they immediately told their stories about how life was different than the old world. The truth is this wasn’t the only time orcs got together, this was one of the common ways how orcs got alliances to invade. I scratch your back, you scratch my back after all.<br>

TECH: Currently not researching<br>
<br>
Events:<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">A few orcs from Gandan have begun to meet up with the Gor’Mok tribe, telling about their meet ups with Clan Draka, a large tribe that boasts it would invade the south one day.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Several goblin migrants have arrived at the Gor’Mok tribe, wandering aimlessly while civilians scratch their heads in confusion.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Orc civilians began to fortify the tribe using lumber to build walls around their community.</li>
</ul>- After the scouting mission, news spread across the tribe about how there was a tribe like them who also migrated from the old world. Once Gromm heard back from Karrog, he sent a messenger to discuss a potential alliance. The messenger got back, stating the Gandan Chief’s name was Huk Huk, a veteran who fought in several clan wars over in the Frozen Wastes. Huk Huk was even kind enough to travel to the Gor’Mok tribe, celebrating over the clan’s first contact. Huk Huk and Gromm discussed a mutual partnership between the two clans, helping them out when something major came up.<br>
<br>
- The success of the scouting mission increased morale within the community, allowing brave warriors to take the call. And that’s what Gromm wanted, ordering a large scout party to explore what’s south of the clan. The scout party increased to 14 eager warriors with some even bringing their children as part of their training. The scout party wandered outwards, searching for flora and animals to take home such as a herd of cowbaffo during their travel. The miles were finally worth it as the scouting party allowed them to find a small settlement occupied by other orcs, green and more brutal in behavior.<br>
<br>
- Orc weapons are not the sharpest tools in the armoury, but you find some clans adapt iron weapons during those invasions of theirs a long time ago. We have killed so many people with sharpened bones, stones, poison, including magic. I’ve seen people strangle soldiers with their own intestines in battle, but so far not Clan Gor’Mok. Chief Gromm has decided to bring out the iron weapon tradition by building forges to increase the quality of weapons. The building went smoothly as the resources sent by Gandan allowed them to get their essentials going. The clan assigned new blacksmiths to carry out new orders while the orcs pulled out the good ol grindstone to use.<br>
<br>
- Now, Orcs don’t really live longer than Elves or Dwarves do, you think with all those muscles on their bodies. Their shamans are getting old and someone has to pass the torch to the youth. A water shaman took a bright student under his wing named Morn, the basic idea as I explained with Meridol is that the stronger the wind, the more air you can harness. Soon enough her talent inspired a few others to try. By the three winter span, Morn has managed to become an excellent student. With time and effort she may one day become a full fledged mage.<br>
<br>
- As the tribe is settling in, you can imagine generations living off here, which is why it’s so important for them to teach their children how to fight. The veterans of the tribe were confident the younglings were ready to train in spears and shields after doing good so far. But with greatness always begets arrogance. The children were good fighters, but they prided themselves as the strongest to the point each one prided themselves as the alpha of the team while the adults were gone. This led to many fights outside of the hunting ground and created groups who harassed each other, picking fights in the tribe.<br>
<br>
- Gromm wanted to make sure his entire tribe was well fed, but some changes needed to be made. Instead of focusing on hunter and gathering, he opted for more agricultural means like sowing fruit seeds. The tribe brought some seeds during their settling phase, planting them in their makeshift farms to get things going. The Orcs attempted to sow these kernel seeds for wheat to grow, but the ideal growing season wasn’t there yet. This caused less produce and weak grains for the Orcs.<br>

<br>

<br>
Events:<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Human slaves are put to work on mining and fighting practices, boosting entertainment for the Goblins.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Goblins began to clean up the trolls made from the havoc they caused. No funerals were given to the fallen goblins.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The outskirts of Northlin finally rally towards Kard of Old, believing he could be the one and only to carve a mighty warband to take over Kazarok.</li>
</ul>- After a series of their fellow goblins enraged over Northlin’s demands, they finally received a great break when Kard of Old tried again. He persuaded the simple minded others by twisting popular goblin tales to appeal to their emotions. How Kard of Old is descended from the oldest goblins heroes who became great idols to new generations. In awe, these goblins finally got the message through Kard’s simple words and demonstrations why he should be put in charge.<br>
<br>
- After earning their respect, the Northlin goblins with the new recruits got to work on taking any non-greens as slaves: human, beasts, lone elves, anybody with hands and feet. The goblins used forest tactics like hiding in the trees to get the upper hand, taking surprised villagers in the dark and putting them to good use for slave labor. Though there was a struggle and a few deaths at first, the goblins managed to get an acceptable number of slaves. These slaves would be used for labor and personal fun.<br>
<br>
- Blood Magic is a versatile tool for the malicious and the devious. It’s no surprise Kard wanted to gain followers with blood spilled. Their blood mages were trying to figure out how to get creature bind to their own will. Animals are simple, so they made sure to focus on them first. One of the blood mages cast a binding spell with his own blood as some spells required the user’s own if they wanted to control people. The test on a cowbaffo allowed the animal to enter in a blank state, following the goblin wherever he went. Although the spell wore off within hours, it told them control was within the palm of their hands.<br>
<br>
- With the potential of mining minerals of the north’s worth, Northlin goblins are ordered to organize work camps. With the small number of slaves they managed to get, they immediately got to work. The threat of killing the slaves on the spot caused them to work even harder mining coal and stones for building resources. These despots were used for other projects outside. Goblins were also ordered to clean up the gore mess their trolls made on their rampage. A lucky find on large amounts of silver were taken to camp for Kard to make a decision on what to do with it.<br>

- As Northlin grows, so does the demand for food and what better way than to try again? Several head honchos ordered their lackeys to start penning livestock again. This time these workers prioritized on their animals’ health, feeding them with hay and fruit so they can produce more children. Their luck finally came as livestock grew and so did food output, allowing people to enjoy a tasty meal without starving for it.<br>

			The Angels of New Heldon are looking to change tradition as Saint Elise would say. Instead of isolating themselves, they’re heading to meet contact of the outside world. After establishing economic relations with the Vampires and their sellsword allies, things are looking up for our Heldonian friends.<br>

<br>
Events:<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Several angels wandered outwards, traveling to see the Vampire Kingdoms on their journeys after new relations. These angels generated tourism for Sigharis, allowing them to sell them Sigharian antiques.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Half-Bloods have decided to move away from the fortresses due to crime and discrimination, deciding to live on the countryside.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Poor working conditions on the wagonway caused several deaths in the process, causing the workers to go on strike as a result.</li>
</ul>- Gaining relations with Sigharis and Kislock, the Heldanians took the next step and sent scouts to access the details. The basic idea with Sigharis and Kislock is that they were vampire states, driven by vengeance against the Humans in the west for invading their homes and attempted to wipe them all out. A few scouts attempted to learn more about them other than their leaders and way of life, however all they found out were dead end rumors and commoner gossip. The scouts returned home, with less information than they expected for their neighbors.<br>
<br>
- I should probably tell you by now raising troops is an investment, an investment if lost during what we call war, cost lives and faith in the kingdom. Heldon’s not great but not terrible which is what some of the more militant members wanted to change. The leaders of New Heldon agreed on improving the training regimens. During the year, the training got off to a really good start, as recruits learned to train with the sword, pike, spear, including archery such as longbows. At the end of the year they managed to train a hundred soldiers, trained in the common weapons like swords and bows.<br>
<br>
- Armour comes in many forms, but the most common I’ve seen is mail armour: metal rings that are linked together. A man wearing this has a serious advantage when it comes to fighting from slashes. New Heldon explored the ideas of improved armour-making for their soldiers. The common armorsmiths were paid by their patrons to make armour less costly and easy to produce. The challenge proved difficult in the year but eventually these armorsmiths managed to create unique armour making techniques that made mail armour more faster to make. The new equipment allowed peasantry soldiers to dress in more mail armour, given tabards to style themselves after Heldon culture.<br>
<br>
- White Magic has the potential to improve living conditions for anyone, being in good health is definitely ideal to a good kingdom. Two of their mages were ordered by Saint Elise to train up and coming students who wished to learn how to help others. In addition, they established an advisory board to screen nearby hedge mages for their services. The efforts to train more mages was a success as the two white mages took many students under their wings to study why white magic is a very practical teaching for their time. Eventually the process paid off with local mages training under the two masters while hedge mages agreed to abide by the rules and policy of New Heldon.<br>
<br>
- New Heldon ordered the construction of a new wagonway that would run north-south and west-east to assist with the movement of heavy goods guarded by watchers. These wagonways will connect to the capital. They were hoping construction would be approved by the end of the month, allowing to create jobs in the process. But major issues rose up: speed of construction slowed down and the workers were too demotivated from daunting Sunn and a few accidents leading to injuries.<br>
<br>
- Every kingdom needs resources, metal and wood to fuel our way of life. The Fortress-Monasteries helped each other out to find these useful raw materials. The most focused was getting lumber out to fuel heat and house building. They included ore, stone and marble while they went on. The search for these resources came at a slow pace but these miners and trackers managed to gather resources at a gain than a drastic loss.<br>

Events:<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Several sellswords after a hard day’s work celebrated the night away. The party grew to giant proportions, causing a lot of noise, boosting up morale.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">A successful minor contract allowed one sellsword to rise high in the ranks. The merc named Ven Kazmo fought  a pack of beastmen harassing villagers at night, slaying them and was rewarded handsomely.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Families within the stronghold enjoyed a relaxing lifestyle enjoying the water mill. It easily provided access to the basic needs.</li>
</ul>- The next course of business was for the Legion scouts to find points of interest in the nearby river. The roads during the days and nights were dangerous to wander alone. So they allowed multiple packs to venture outward wearing protection. Despite their greatest efforts, the packs were met with little to no points of interests during their exploration. Thankfully, no one was harmed during these ventures.<br>
<br>
- The Leader Jelina after witnessing the poor progress on training was understandably frustrated. Spring Fever took a toll on everyone and it showed in the previous year but now that it has faded away, they needed to get back on schedule. Jelina ordered another round of training exercises, seeing it herself if they were motivated unlike before. Jelina acted as military inspiration for the men, allowing them to take solace in the fact under her they were strong. The effort finally paid off as soldiers honed their skills in terms of endurance and stamina as half-elves.<br>
<br>
- A way to traverse the world was to have a pretty good idea where you’re actually going. These were called maps. A level above the average sellsword were Rangers, veterans who were better trained and outright well equipped to handle a difficult enemy. Rangers such as Theovin Rodove knew what the men and women needed so he taught them how to travel with a map in handy. Theovin took his job seriously, allowing the sellswords to grow while Jelina motivated them to keep going. The sellswords then proceeded to know about terrain scouting after the poor result from the previous scouting mission.<br>
<br>
- With their relationship from New Heldon, several members such as Theovin were sent to retrieve books regarding military tactics and how old free companies used to work. One example of a classic free company was the Black Mount, a band of 108 heavily armored riders who’d take expensive contracts for the most powerful kingdoms, turning the tide of a battle whenever they arrived. The sellsword brought at least one book written by an experienced soldier who has passed to the light. Despite the rich text and information, it was mostly everything the Legion already knew, albeit several invaluable to new recruits and organization.<br>
<br>
- With the construction of a water mill possible, the workers immediately attempted to search the resources such as lumber and metal to get it going. And soon enough, these workers worked their butts off to get a good foundation, allowing members to complete the water mill within the three winter span. The water mill left the Legion with a power source for other needs.<br>
<br>
- With the successful training and map navigation, the final action was to scout for arable land for farms. The Keep needed to have a reasonable source to sustain itself if it wanted to survive than other companies did. The short distance and climate in the region allowed people to easily find arable land all around the stronghold.<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scouts have recently came back from the mainland to report no dragons has been sighted during their search. However, there were rumors spreading around a magical Elve has wielded a dragon horn, an item designed to call a dragon if one is nearby.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Brotinnstao Expediton led by Captain Gaenar has successfully earned an agreement from the natives of the north isles to colonize.</li>
</ul>- There’s a difference between a dragon’s horn and a dragon horn. Now a dragon’s horn is more common than you think considering the average Dragon is still around in the world. A dragon horn? Rarer than arcane armor and I’ll explain why but for now Brotinnstao agents were sent to the mainland to see if the rumors were true, if dragons were around but so far there was no sighting from kingdoms like Altheim or even Morragon. Nobles explained Dragons haven’t been a common sight for centuries after the Elven Wars when Gaelron and his dragon Azran were slain by Everyn V. Now why is that? No one really knows, maybe the flying creatures believed it was better to migrate elsewhere freely. Now dragon horn on the other hand is a magical item designed to call a nearby dragon and bind it to user’s will. They are rare because its magical properties is a guaranteed way to tame a wild dragon, but hasn't been practiced for centuries. Dragons are an inherently dangerous creature prone to outbursts and destruction. If one isn’t careful, it may be disastrous consequences.<br>
<br>
- To expand outwards and to gain a steady influence among Numerya, Brotinnstao sent out a major expedition effort to take control of the isles to the north supported by the White Mage and the Black Mage. This expedition carried risks like any colonization efforts like disease, people resisting, or even the fleet suffering a massive setback that could doom the effort. But fortunately enough the fleet went to their destination with a minor case of sea sickness and not other problems ahead. When they arrived there they found natives during their travel and were told by the Ruler they should reach a solution of peace. And for the most part these natives were convinced by the Maguses if they submitted they will enjoy a life of peace. Several natives left out of their free will while the rest agreed to abide on the condition Brotinnstao supported them for the future.<br>
<br>
- Throughout Numerya, tensions rose as the Elven people weren’t as united as loyalists claimed to be. It was only necessary Brotinnstao needed more soldiers for the years to come or face invasions from others. The kingdom attempted to recruit abled elves fit for the call, but these new recruits were lazy and physically unfit for service. Their incompetence led to more bad than good, bringing down the average training.<br>
<br>
- A normal expansion for their harbours was to construct treadwheel cranes to unload cargo in the docks. They soon got started to avoid delaying the project, gathering resources to build the cranes. Three winters passed and the cranes looked to be still in construction albeit with little issues during the span.<br>
<br>
- The city of Brotinnstao thrives as population grows over the years. To improve the port city they also needed a form of commerce so they were ordered to build a square market. Gathering the materials the workers already had a plan in motion to kickstart the project and get it finished. The project created multiple jobs in the process and once the cranes were finished at the end of the three winter span, they easily worked with little issues. The cranes unloaded cargo from merchant ships, allowing exchanges to move much faster.<br>
<br>
- There’s a level of command when it comes to every government. A king controls the law, in theory, and his subject abide by his rules. The King has passed a series of laws that involve rent-control to limit the amount of money land-owners demand from their own peasants. Now, lords and nobles are greedy people and they don’t like when people lessen their tributes. Once these laws were in effect, the commoners had more currency to spend on goods and products but the land owners were not happy about this one bit, causing them to hire criminals to rough them up a bit and threatening them. The streets worsened, allowing criminals to harass the daily citizen as fear spread.<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Meridol has made contact with Clan Negc after many years. Both factions discussed many things during the span.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Meridol’s influence grows at a slow but effective pace, as news spread the talk of the Paere are becoming more passive and less isolated.</li>
</ul>- Disappointed their efforts weren’t successful, they wanted to find another way to spread themselves on the island. The Meridol People attempted to extend their influence and borders outward passively without worrying the other groups as well. The process started as more Paere began to spread the word out to their neighbors, having no issues regarding the other groups and easily persuaded several tribes. Their influence grew at a reasonable pace, allowing several people to conform to Octopon rule.<br>
<br>
- Meridol contacted Clan Negc after getting a clue where they were. They could use their services regarding tamed wildlife and see if they can explore outside of the homeland. One of Clan Negc’s members named Brightmuse answered this question, the Clan at least having aquatic life like the Duranga Turtle. Only big issue was, it was just an ordinary turtle and the other wildlife their ancestors tamed were lost through time like the dolphins and the giant turtles. <br>
<br>
- The Fegme mostly dwell underground and unlike other sprightes choose not to use magic. For an unknown reason why prefer to live six feet under and not on the surface. The people of Meridol set out to search the Fegme, sending search parties up to 5 so they can finally meet up. During their journey, the Paere came across multiple small holes in the ground. They ventured underground, seeing a society comprised of pale Fegme. The Meridol adventurers greeted them, wishing no harm for their people. The dwellers responded, saying they’ve been living underground for generations, preferring to meditate in isolation away from normal way of life.<br>
<br>
- The Faere are different when compared to a Kingdom’s military. The government feared should left with nothing to do, it would result in a poor fighting force. Within the Fono passed a general standard of keeping a strict regimen for their soldiers. The officers in charge of the army attempt to roughen up the force but their experiences in peace time have still allowed them to slack off. On their regimen the young recruits are prone to give attitude towards command, leaving the government to respond before training worsens.<br>
<br>
-  Meridol is currently studying a way to access archives but that would require space. They looked on ways to research a public library.<br>
<br>
- Meridol after discovering the general roads decayed from lack of maintenance decided which roads were the most important for the people. They figured the roads connected to the main towns will be kept and expand outwards. The Paere scrapped several roads and wanted to restart from scratch. With planning done, major construction groups went to their stations, digging up the dirt to carve out their new roads. These roads weren’t cobblestone but small smooth rocks piled on side by side while several workers sanded it for on foot travel. I have to admire the Paere, despite being an underdog story and a knack for detail the Mertidol were going to be alright<img src="https://www.rpnation.com/media/emoticon1-smile.23674/full?d=1488654843" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="smile    :)" data-shortname=":)"><br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Highlands experienced a long term rainfall during the first part of 7003, causing a series of floods during the period.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">A hero named Evan the Bold ventures outside the Highlands, saying goodbye to his fellow Korkari to spread glory to the Confederation. In 7004 he returned with traveling companions and a large source of money to distribute for the villages.</li>
</ul>- Their military shipments were a disaster and the professional soldiers there were not happy one bit to continue amateur hour like this. Lord Dontos personally sent the professional soldiers, also known as his retinue to the major populated villages. He wanted all of them to teach the commoners how to actually fight and lead the local militias under new training regimens. Once the soldiers arrived, they quickly worked with the locals to point out what they were doing right and what weren’t they doing right. The soldiers started jogging runs, sparing matches and hardcore push ups for the basics. They advanced to other levels, allowing militias to have a better understanding of tactics and improving themselves.<br>
<br>
- After hearing word about the positive reactions from the Brimnir Dwarves, Lord Dontos responded by agreeing to send in gifts in support. The deal was that the Korkari would send in shipments of iron mined by them for 12 months as a gesture of good faith. Despite the small quantity of iron they needed to ship out, this was more than enough to keep the Brimnir Kingdom in good faith with the Korkari Confederation.<br>
<br>
- Lord Dontos has decided he needed to push his iron smelteries out of construction fast. He gathered as many men as possible to send more raw materials. And so the men did, placing many people to transport materials for the construction of these smelteries until they were practically finished by the three winter span. The smelteries took hold, creating several jobs for people who knew how to work them.<br>
<br>
- In the Highlands, reading was not a popular pastime for the majority as was common in a lot of kingdoms. Considering their way of life reading and counting to twenty isn’t going to stop an orc axe from disemboweling your organs. To improve literacy, the government has sent out reading lessons in the form of Ravens sending messages and riders heading towards villages to teach people how.<br>
Although the people are trying their hardest, their results are slow but steady in the long run.<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Acradian Army mobilizes outwards towards the unclaimed borders, standing by waiting for the first move. The movement causes them to lose some steam in the process.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Small peace movements appeared ever since the Army mobilized towards the unclaimed borders, citing others to remain non-violent and not be tempted by going to war.</li>
</ul>- In the wake of 7001, the Republic of Acrad and the Kingdom of Brotinnstao have announced the Acradian-Elven Sea Pact. A non-aggression pact is signed and permission for military and merchant vessels to pass freely through water territories is now in effect.<br>
<br>
- Now, people go to war all the time for the most insane reasons. I’ve seen counties declare wars over their sacred cow not being respected in the community. But regarding different reasons, the Acradian leader such as the High Councilor and his lackies have formally denounced the Kingdom of Borghildr. As an effect of denouncing these savages and barbaric people, all trades and ties have been halted. Although Acrad has attempted to spread lies and dehumanize their neighbor faction in hopes to give rally has soon backfired. Tensions have risen to greater heights than ever before, with both sides rallying for what could be an upcoming war. The trade with Borghildr has caused the economy to lower itself, causing a few protests and leaving people panicking if a war is going to start, leaving the city for refuge elsewhere.<br>
<br>
- Relations between the Northmen and the Acradian people have caused both to mobilize their armies between their close enough borders. To the Acrad side they managed to send 600 soldiers, 400 men-at-arms and 150 archers in an effort to scare the Borghilders from submission. During this power move, Acradians attempted to secure a deal with the local villages in the unclaimed territory. Villagers are promised a tax free access to the port of Acrad for their goods with a duration of 3 years from the annexation, military and political protection, eligibility for auxiliary military service against Borghildr with the chance of earning citizenship and funds to rebuild destroyed infrastructure. Several villages agreed to the deal but not all of them, leaving Acrad a lot more people to annex than they expected.<br>
<br>
- The Republic is ordered to expand the harbour within their city to bring in more goods in the region. After the panic from the mass mobilization, they gathered harbour workers on buying several equipment to suit the harbour. During the process, they repaired several docks and replaced the old wood with new lumber.<br>
<br>
- Outrages and protests have caused the government to make a decision regarding the study of Elven artifacts. Left with no solution and choice, the magistrates announced to everyone they will halt all research on Elven relics. This decision left the people content, but in reality the magistrates have kept a major secret from them. The magistrates conspired to keep the research going and keep it a secret from the public but much more slower. However several conspirators got paranoid, looking over their shoulder believing the secret was not quite as well kept as they thought it was.<br>
<br>
- Because of political relations between Brontinnstao and Acrad, this has allowed both to secure a trade route in the Southon Sea.<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Dwarven Charter is forged within the city of Cephalonia, attracting new patrons and tourists.</li>
</ul>- The faction of Mallen-Tol has sent a diplomatic envoy towards the city of Cephalonia to forge a non-aggression pact. This pact includes the creation of a Dwarven Quarter on Cephalonia’s port to allow oceanic trade and to deliver goods as Mallen-Tol lacks a coastline naturally. These will increase trade between the kingdoms and it tells the Emperor that Mallen-Tol recognizes the Empire on a positive light, accepting the Emperor could possibly be the heir but not outright accept it. This decision would appease more dangerous claimants down the lie should anything bad happen. After these events Mallen-Tol has even allowed Cephalonia to spread their faith within the land. But this has caused a bit of discord between the two people. The missionaries from Cephalonia were usually ridiculed for their religion and sometimes shunned based on religious differences.<br>
<br>
- Mallen-Tol is raising a fund to set a permanent station for the Kazirian Legion in defense for the realm. The Dwarves also intend to build a Legion Bastion on the southern road to Cephalonia. Should the Legion have a conflict of interest playing sides in the future, the Dwarven clause is forced to make the mercs withdraw peacefully from Mallen-Tol. The funds started to pile up, driving Mallen-Tol to supply the station with improved armor and weaponry. But as they went in the watch guards around the roads struggled to deal with thievery despite their newly acquired weapons. Later during the span they realized the funds were slowing down as they expected.<br>

A pack of scholars attempted to study this artifact to find out its potential uses but a day later a foolish dwarve thought it would be nice to fiddle with a precious relic, banging it with an anvil until his body turned to black, his bone also until they turned to dust. The other scholars were outraged at the lack of professionalism the man displayed, causing them to place safety regulations.<br>
<br>
- After securing a deal with Cephalonia, a wave of dwarves begin to build a Dwarven Charter that will at least be two stories in the style of their underground architecture. The Dwarves have noted to construct a bazaar to generate a market with the people in the city. A formal Thrunragnant (Trade Lord) will be appointed to oversee anything potentially importing into Mallen-Tol from Cephalonia. Throughout the construction tourism was beginning to pop up from time to time. The construction workers managed to build the Charter and the bazaar, allowing Mallen-Tol to receive lucrative trade for the years to come, a bit too much if you ask me.<br>
<br>
- Despite major disagreements between the Husbandry Guild, The High Regnant has approved the creation of the Fishery Guild. The main leader of this guild is a man named Petros Greenbrick, a bank-fishermen and also a close friend of the High Regnant. The guild will also oversee what lays beyond Mallen-Tol. Workers in the guild celebrated with drinks that this allowed them to play a role within the kingdom. Petros Greenbrick himself appreciated the High Regant for the honor. Three years passed and Petros Greenbrick enjoyed his new life, drinking a bottle of wine until he grew paler by the second, falling upon the floor until a few workers discovered his body. Greenbrick was dead. This sparked an immediate outrage from the Fishery Guild, claiming it was an act of murder. Several members began to seek out whoever did this, taking justice under their own hands until the Council had something to say about it.<br>

<li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Dwarven Charter is placed by Mallen-Tol within the city, causing attraction and generating tourists. Some Cephalonian business owners have even envied them as new competition started.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scouts ventured towards Arajyd and Venita on their given orders.</li>
</ul>- Cephalonian scouts are sent outwards to the realms of the Arajyd and Venita. Their sole purpose is to see their numbers and wonder if they exploits any buildings they have such as their castles and cities. When the scouts went out there things went well in the first year. But by the end of the year officials were baffled no reports were happening as none of the scouts returned from their ventures. Few months passed and the scouts were nowhere to be found. Several military spies believed these missing scouts were either killed or captured by people who didn’t want them around for a reason.<br>
<br>
- When Cephalonia declared war upon Willow, immediately their standing army split off, heading towards the castle of Willow. Two groups led under Dux Aþalahardus Palaeologos and Juran Blackmont of the Brotherhood marched on their way…<br>

			One of the villagers sowed a couple of seeds in a row, a few chickens wandering around like a close pack. The farmer wiped his nose until he heard a few murmurs behind him. He then turned to see many not a couple, but many villagers heading to the outskirts of the castle. The farmer followed a large crowd building so much he could barely see what was the ruckus about. From the distance he witnessed a few soldiers marching but easily became dozens by the second. They all realize the armor each soldier was wearing. All of them marched in columns, side by side riding horses.<br>
<br>
Several people who had no care even if it meant a siege drank their lives away in a tavern. A couple of men sat down hearing about the events going down outside the castle. Most likely an upcoming siege. The peasant had a lean look on his face, grimey including a beard. The other is wearing silver plated armor someone would kill for in their lifetime. The peasant sighed, hearing rumors a battle could be starting.<br>
<br>
“Something’s happening right now. A siege probably, but I haven’t seen it. Soon they might send us to battle later.” The peasant rambled on.<br>
<br>
“You got a castle and people to defend it should one of those people try to assault the place. How it usually goes down is that there’s an agreement between both sides. Battle’s the last thing everyone wants Franco.” The old man explained to the peasant, gulping down on his mug.<br>
<br>
“They say there’s another army with them. Someone called a Juran Blackmont. You’re a knight Hunk, know him?” Franco asked.<br>
<br>
“Juran Blackmont? He’s an Skalland boy, a long way from home. I met him once during a battle. We won, he didn’t.” Hunk said, drinking down on his ale. The peasant found that hard to believe judging the knight’s appearance based on age. But he simply had to take his word at the moment. But even so, the Imperial Army was now taking their home through harsh force.<br>
<br>
“He has a shitload of men backing up that big army as well. If we were smart, we’d surrender.” Franco stated, slouching on his bar stool as he rubbed his face with both hands, tired and just overall compliant if it meant they would go back to their lives in peace.<br>
<br>
“Aye. Less of a mess that way.” Hunk agreed, gulping down. Franco chuckled in response, turning to him afterwards.<br>
<br>
“You’re a hedge knight, surely you’ve seen many battles and kingdoms out there. What’s your opinion on all of this?” Franco wanted an answer from the seasoned knight, whether he has some useful advice from all of this. Hunk sighed harshly, leaning forward.<br>
<br>
“My opinion is worth less than a cow’s shitpile. If I had to answer, I’d say get the surrender over with and don’t let anyone die. Smart soldiers know when to not start a fight. The only number of battles I’ve fought can be counted with one hand. If you fight back with an army like that? Disaster.” Hunk admitted. There were no easy solutions to Willow other than wait out a long siege and sieges determined who fell first from shortages.<br>
<br>
“They call themselves the Imperial Army of the Emperor, you believe that?” Franco asked, earning a disgruntled look from the knight.<br>
<br>
“No. But I suppose it doesn’t matter when you’re at the mercy of an army, so in a way yes.” Hunk finished up his drink, rising from the table while Franco watched. “Wait where are you going?!” Franco shouted, laying a hand on the table as Hunk put his sealed helmet on.<br>
<br>
“What do you think? Out of Willow before their army encircles the castle. Besides I have better things to do.” Hunk exclaimed hands outwards while Franco looked dumbfounded. The Knight walked out of the tavern but not before paying for his drink. Now was the time to leave before the Imperial Army encircled the castle fast..

</blockquote><br>
In a show of brute force and overwhelming numbers. The baron of the castle named Martin Darmer stepped forward and wished to speak with the negotiator. In order to prevent massive deaths in the wake of the battle, he would agree to swear fealty on the condition there will be no bloodshed on this field. The agreement was arranged, prompting the annexation process of the county.<br>
<br>
- The imperial bureaucracy is left to be desired for many officials in the city. A tedious but necessary bureau to run and it is no surprise they needed to improve on it. The government created an institution designed to bring bright talent into the mix and to ensure it remains a stable administration. The institution will allow members to learn mathematics, book keeping and linguistics.These traits will hopefully encourage a life of glorious service to the empire. The institution recruited several young members dedicated to the study of book keeping and practiced on their reading. Civic duty is prioritized within the institute despite the few that have joined in the past years.<br>
<br>
- With the recent appearance of Spring Fever in Kazarok the Emperor gave order to build plenty of sick houses for the poor and the sick. These constructions were led by the monasteries and churches who believe in the power of the Divine can help their bodies and make sure they don’t suffer as God is always with them. Other sick people were mysteriously healed as sick houses settled many people there, some priests believe it was divine intervention that allowed these miracles to happen. Several groups volunteered in the sick houses to tend to the patients.<br>
<br>
- The Empire has accepted the Dwarven economic exchange from Mallen-Tol. As a result of this exchange, rarities from the rocks of Mallen-Tol are now circulated within the economies of the city, with the wealthy buyer purchasing the gems native to the mountains. The sales generated from the luxuries causes a bit of trade to flourish in the city.<br>

TECH: Gnome Organization(1 Turn Remaining)<br>
<br>
Events<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">A hybrid mushroom called Blue Rush was created, sold within street corners for every civilian. The substance Smut nicknamed by the locals was considered out.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reconstruction efforts on the planned library is made. Some say Burnwood could still be out there, burning places down.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Gnome named Carl Nickleplenty has won the fourth national lottery in a row, the town council has banned him from playing for winning too much.</li>
</ul>- The town of Grotto is definitely not on the world’s safest places to live in but maybe there’s something they could do about it. The people definitely stressed the importance of order and security if they want to prevent another arson incident like last time. Zeek Worm-Foot demanded more guard towers and outposts to project their power and to show who’s the boss around here. The laborers got to work, huffing on burning wood to get the day by and are generally too demotivated. Despite this they kept on working, albeit slowly until they finished their buildings. The frustrated guards stood watch, patrolling the town from criminals.<br>
<br>
- Rainbow Grotto is expanding the current town barracks to make sure the Rainbow Guard is accommodated for. They started to expand the barracks using hard lumber, acting all clumsy knocking over stuff. Some even went to work outright drunk, stumbling down and causing hilarious antics. With that said they managed to get all the construction done in due time, with the occasional wall broken.<br>
<br>
- After the entire burning library fiasco, the entire Rainbow Guard began to search endlessly for the culprit who did it. Some Gnomes and Humans have even nicknamed this criminal <b>Burnwood</b><i>.</i> For all they knew Burnwood was still out there, burning other buildings outside of Rainbow Grotto and causing anarchy not because of why, but why not? Rainbow Grotto restarted the construction effort but this time guarded by Rainbow members all day and all night. The burnt wood and all the ashes from the foundation meant they had to start all over again. They chopped down lumber and made a new foundation. These labor Gnomes weren’t like the other drunks and blazed workers but someone who believed there could be something great if they finish the library. And so they were building as best as they could with their materials. The building was half finished, with enough motivation to finish up the place someday...<br>
<br>
- Grotto’s knack is to constantly experiment with new mushrooms and mix potions to deliver a very Journey experience. For every mushroom had a different name and a meaning to it. Many gnomes tried Brown Nose, Wax, Smut and even Fizzy Lizzy. But Gnomes wanted new substances and new experiences. With the new alchemists in town, they believe they can help out breeding a new mushroom. During the later months of 7002, the gnomes crossbred a mushroom they found into the wild with blue fungus. After much testing they called it the Blue Rush for its glowing blue properties. A few willing volunteers tasted the hybrid mushrooms, having a feeling of adrenaline pumped through their blood while a few criticized that it doesn’t have enough favor.    <br>
<br>
- The town of Grotto had mages to help on them improving their community. These transmutation mages were ordered to convert the natural earth into something non-earth like stone to replace the wooden palisade. Now, when it comes to transmutation you must always understand what you’re converting in the first place. Mud is filthy, it’s soft and it comes from the earth. But if you wish to convert it to say stone, you’ll want to understand rocks. They’re hard and they are pretty dense. Figuring out the properties of these two different things is a study in of itself. The mages worked hard on converting mud and dirt together to something that can at least imitate. A day later and the target element was converted to a soft but light material similar to boiled leather.<br>
<br>
- The town needed more fun in its life, introducing a National lottery to encourage spending and that means more currency for the government. The way how to play is that citizens buy tickets at the town hall and people play to win while the town draw names, if someone wins they must claim a prize within the day or left empty handed for the next sucker. The first few games went well and it allowed a steady income for the town until other cunning citizens started their own gambling dens. Although the gambling dens barely harmed the lottery system, it could pose a bigger threat down the line.<br>

TECH: Sewage Disposal(1 Turn Remaining)<br>
<br>
Events:<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Zealots within the city have begun to spread their Phoenix beliefs to foreign villages, converting them in the name of the one true god.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fresh water is channeled through the recently repaired aqueduct. People who are found exerting waste onto the river will be found and executed.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The mages are seen honing their skills, gathering pupils to take under their wing so they can kick start college research</li>
</ul>- The larger population of Riflheim always needs a steady supply of horses in hand for transportation. The Riflheim army only had 100 Cavalry should they gather their bannermen for battle so they obviously needed to recruit more people for the job. During the course of the year they requested more soldiers on horseback to all lords. The lands within Riflheim raised up to at least 39 Cavalrymen in the process.<br>
<br>
- The first construction on the College of Magic failed to live up to expectations. But William the Black needed to make this vision happen no matter the expenses. He increased the budget to divert more effort in building the college, laying out the place while the Engineers finally decided to work together as a team. Setting up lumber and stone and picking up the pace than the last time. The engineers and builders made rather nice progress, setting up the quarters and their altars for the Phoenix.<br>
<br>
- Meanwhile the workers of Riflheim were given an incentive with much better pay and food to start rebuilding the water plumbing around the city. Several gave it their best to replace old plumbing and to improve work on the aqueduct. With better payment increasing their motivation, these workers made a lot of improvements. The result is that the aqueducts allowed had better water channeling supplying public water. It wasn’t the best water but they were sure to work on it.<br>
<br>
- Not convinced this world is pure, the Church of the Phoenix expands to the outskirts of the city. Their intention was to spread the good word and if everyone believed it, they would be saved for eternity and immortalized. While converting degenerates wasn’t a huge success than the Church hoped it would be, their newest members promised to the god they would remain faithful to their families and wives. The members are seen placing altars in village centers while many non-believers harassed the folks. <br>
<br>
- After witnessing such filth, the Kingdom invested in passionate entrepreneurs who could restore glory to the economy and not on putting business to brothels. The businessmen and elites were supported, getting to work on starting new businesses like housing and sick houses for the poor and sick. They easily generated profit for the government, allowing brothels to have competition in the long run.<br>
<br>
- Riflheim during the three winter span has occasionally traded silver towards Hildemar in exchange for steel and metal. As a result several caravans from Hildemar traveled to the city, supplying the city with iron plates and chainlinks for mail armour. This satisfied the armorsmiths just enough to make it worth their while.<br>

<u>Lesson of the Year: The Elven Supremacy </u><br>
<br>
The Elven people are a species who live pretty long lives, enjoy a great living when they got a lot of time on their hands. No wonder why some of them come across as arrogant.<br>
<br>
They say that the god Maegon considered the Elven people the black sheep among his creations, the Dragons being his personal favorite. Back then in Ancient Numerya, Elves controlling dragons through dragon horns and whips were a common sight. One way to interpret that is the Elves wanted to please Maegon to show them in a stronger light even if it meant they had to exert control over the dragons.<br>
<br>
One of the brightest cities within Elven civilization is Altheim, a cultural capital that has stagnated over the years due to the Elven Wars. Imagine a city built by skilled mages specialized in architecture, plumping that can make a Dwarve hard. Altheim was probably one of the happiest places to live if you were an Elve. But there was a reason why that all changed. Wanna know why? Currency and culture.<br>
<br>
When two big powers coexist, only one shall prevail in the end. The Adelram Empire and Altheim were different, culturally and religiously, and it showed. When Adelram formed in 6280, Gaelron, The Black Prince envied them but continued to rule his kingdom as he saw fit. Gaelron was pious and devoted to serving the one true god Maegon. His idol Maegon rode his large dragon Azrael and it left little surprise he was glorified as a great god but possessed pride than any known Elve in the world. Gaelron sought out to be just like the god and demanded his subjects to find him a dragon worthy to be his. The search lasted for years as he rejected from the smallest to the largest until he founded one dragon, not small but not massive either. Gaelron named the fast dragon Azran after the great dragon Azrael.<br>
<br>
Gaelron and his dragon set out to carve a mighty empire for himself, dealing with neighbor factions and conquered them through superior might. When his territory increased, so did his arrogance. Every faction problem his subjects discussed with him resulted in him solving it with dragon fire, engulfing enemy fortifications and fields. The commoners slowly started to hate him.<br>
<br>
It wasn’t until the Adelram Empire and Gaelron’s own Kingdom coexisted that tensions rose up. The difference between the Divine God and the Maegon religion already contradicted each other, leaving the people to call each other heathens and infidels. Naerys the Good’s reign promised a hope spot between the two but it fell once Warrior Century happened. Naerys was responsible in keeping foreign relations on a bright note, even allowing non-humans to live as citizens which caused a severe distrust between races. Despite her noble outlook regarding treating everyone as equals, the public spoke out against this, especially those loyal to the Divine God like the White Wardens.<br>
<br>
Warrior Century was the era of Adelram Rulers who did not tolerate Elven relations starting with Raela, the daughter of Gregor the Hunter. Sons and daughters have a standard they would try to live up to in comparison to their fathers and mothers. Even though Gregor the Hunter distanced himself from Gaelron’s territory, his daughter would always believe Elven supremacy was on the horizon, constantly training and commanding soldiers to make sure they were ready. When Gregor the Hunter had finally died in battle, the line of succession went towards Raela.<br>
<br>
Her coronation allowed a series of changes within the Empire, changing non-human tolerance and would be considered the catalyst to the Elven Wars. Elven Kingdoms were no strangers to Kazarok politics, they too believed Human dominance within the continent would be their downfall and they were right in the end. Raela the Warrior launched a grand holy war denouncing Gaelron’s empire and gathered as much bannermen as she could to fight the enemy.<br>
<br>
The Elven Wars was a brutal conflict between Empire vs Empire and many believed it might be the most deadliest strife in our known history. Thousands have easily died from humans, dwarves, elves, down to the diseased riddled battles. And it lasted for centuries until Everyn V Stormstrum invaded Altheim and killed Gaelron along with Azran. The aftermath within the Elven Wars showed even Elven society weren’t invincible to the harsh world.   <br>

	</div>In a quaint cottage on the outskirts of town, with its back against the deep forest and a meticulously well-maintained wooden fence surrounding a small plot of land, sat the official embassy of New Heldon. It was not a particularly spacious establishment, but with a common room and two private rooms, it served its necessary purpose as a non-expensive establishment representing the great nation of angels. The location of the embassy was left entirely to the discretion of Ambassador Serah Dressca, constrained only by the small budget granted by the Saint's councilors. It was expected that an embassy would be near the heart of the capital it was established in, but given the... eccentricities of the gnomes and the recent arson, it was decided the embassy would stand strong by itself at a pleasant and safe distance from the excitement of the inner city.  If the embassy did well for a few years, their budget would see a fine raise, with the possibility of more staff and a more prestigious location. It had been almost a year now since they got comfortably settled in, and with three guards and one clerk assisting the ambassador, they were managing fairly well.<br>
<br>
"Its called Blue Rush, you say? What makes this one any more interesting than the other oddities these people ingest like bread and water?" Ambassador Dressca asked, staring at the small bowl on the table. Inside of it were several small, glowing blue mushrooms.<br>
<br>
Franco Rosse, her assistant and writing clerk, cleared his throat. "Madam, these may have a more practical application over the more, ah, recreational delicacies the gnomes prefer. That is not to say that those particular edibles are worthless, either. The former may have a market in New Heldon, and the latter elsewhere. Allow me to explain.... The Blue Rush mushroom here has been labeled fairly tasteless. Not something appealing to those that consume these on the regular. But its effect - it gives the user what can be said to be a surge of confidence and adrenaline. I've tested this with young Sir Kafka, who was more than eager to assist, and its true. It took a short time for the feeling to finally occur, but when it did, Sir Kafka explained that he felt particularly aware and faster. I observed him under the influence of this substance as he sparred with the other two and while he didn't seem particularly faster by an observers perspective, he was notably precise and did not fatigue as fast. He was able to duel two men at the same time and even keep them on the back foot. He felt this way for nearly a couple hours before he began to grow tired and, well, slept for some hours before waking with an insatiable appetite. I do not know if these affects are the same for all of us or differ from person to person, but I think it is clear the implications these mushrooms could have in a... military sense."<br>
<br>
"So thats what all the business was about the other day. I see. That is rather interesting. You think we could give these to warriors to boost their performance? Not a particularly noble idea and I doubt the knights would particularly approve in court, but in war... well, anything to get an edge. However, if the effects wear off too fast and make the user fatigued, then that could be an issue."<br>
<br>
"Of course, madam. I think we would need to test these further, but I think we should pursue this. Enter a contract to procure these mushrooms and observe their effects in real combat back home. Though I suspect we can do more. We sell them. Sell them elsewhere. This place is, pardon my speaking, at the ass end of no where. Its all wilderness between here and home, and even back home we aren't near to the great states of the continent. We're the buffer between these gnomes and the world. Say we buy a crate of Blue Rush for ten coins and sell it for double - maybe triple - to other nations. Thats a pretty source of coin, don't you think? The same applies to the other more wild and recreational herbs, though we can... keep those sparse in New Heldon."<br>
<br>
Ambassador Dressca contemplated the proposal. She had full authority to pursue anything that could benefit New Heldon. They had a fair sum of money to use to this purpose, and if they could purchase a few crates to send home with the instructions to test and trade them to merchants....<br>
<br>
"We'll pursue this, to a degree. It would be foolish to dive head first into a venture we know little about, but I think we can find more potential taking this slowly. Head to town and find someone who can <i>officially</i> assist us in this venture. New Heldon will pay for the procurement of Blue Rush and other edibles. They don't need to know we are going to resell them, not that I think they will ask."<br>
<br>
Franco Rosse stood and bowed low, his white wings twitching at the anticipation of flight. "Of course, madam. I shall be off now and return as soon as I can."<br>
<br>
"Good. And take Sir Kafka with you. Never travel this place alone."<br>
<br>
The young angel set off with his guard, flying towards the center of town to <b><i>reach representatives of the government for this deal</i></b>.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px">-Rainbow Grotto-<br>
-Town Hall-</span></b><br>​</div>Old Zeek stumbled through the creaky doorway of town hall, late as usual for the weekly meeting of elders and aldermen. Unlike many buildings in Rainbow Grotto the town hall was specifically built to be able to accommodate humans and other tall peoples who may wander through the pearly gilded gates of Zeek's paradise. The founder of their Eden however usually struggled with opening the door, blaming it at times on his "arthritis" and other times blatantly on intoxication. The other councilors tolerated it to an extent with him though, he did afterall lead them to their new home and exposed them to a new and exciting way of communicating with the divine. Yet even so...the example he set for the other members of the community led to calamity on more than one occasion. For who could forget how during the funeral of Mrs. Plumbottom Zeek and a posy of young gnomes stumbled into the affair naked and foaming at the mouths. all before unceremoniously falling into the grave dug for the her. The poor woman's daughter fainted on the spot!<br>
<br>
Zeek breathed into his hand, attempting to gain knowledge of its odor. To his dismay it reeked of mead, sour crab apples, and...was that some kind of aged cheese? Regardless,  he gagged at the affront to his nostrils before taking in his surroundings. The side room they had built to accommodate the lottery box office was flooding out the door with hopeful winners, some crying, some fighting, and some deciding it was a good place to sit down and have a smoke. Seeing this, he was reminded of his own ornate pipe filled with a mix of mint and sage, it didn't knock his rocks off like the new Blue Rush but it calmed his old nerves. <br>
<br>
Lighting the thing and walking towards the Meeting Room he knew he was in for another headache as soon as he opened the door. Was it even worth going in? Could he feign sickness? Maybe even death? It worked once before but they were pretty mad when they found him in bed with a young (former) maid the day after the funeral. With a sigh he opened the door in front of him, hobbling in only to see the councilors engaged in quite the heated argument.<br>
<br>
"What do you <i>mean</i> the Guild can't identify this Burnwood character. The entire town is in a tizzy and all you lily-livers can offer is an excuse of 'he didn't register?' That you can't find him? " The ox of a gnome Elder Gorm Red-Cheeks bellowed, his large belly and second chin jiggling with each word of frustration. The crimson color of his face reminded Zeek of a newborn's rump after the mid-wife gave it a paddle. He laughed to himself at that.<br>
<br>
"The entire point of the Guild is to keep a track of <i>known</i> criminals so they know they are safe in the Grotto and can freely look for contracts, If our spies don't report to us that someone is suspect there's nothing we can do about it! Burnwood must've been either a damn good hider or this is his first offense!" Guildmaster George "The Hawk" Barton retorted to the overweight Elder. It was odd to see a human so high in power in Grotto affairs but he was a damn good thief and he kept the four rules in check so long as he and his gang could coordinate heists and contracts from within the town. <br>
<br>
"POPPYCOCK! TOMFOOLERY! I SAY SHENANIGANS!" Gorm shouted, his entire body seeming to emanate heat in his frustration. The other counciolrs looked on in mild boredom, Gorm was known for his temper and they'd had this discussion numerous times in the past year since the Library burned down initially. It seemed the old gnome was going senile in his continuous repetition of accusations against the Thieves' Guild, even though they proved themselves a vital secret police time and time again. <br>
<br>
"Brothers, Brothers, Settle down. We'll find that Burnwood guy in good time, it's like my old pappy used to tell me. You can eat a grape, but if you wait long enough you'll get a raisin. And raisin's my friends are delicious." Zeek spoke these words of wisdom as he approached his seat in the middle of their circular table. The other ten members of the council wore confused looks trying to figure out what the hell the Old man was talking about. "Anyways, my comrades besides the arsonist mumbo jumbo, is there any other pressing matters of concern?"<br>
<br>
"We've gotten some more orders for Blue Rush from a few of the neighboring villages, it seems they've gotten quite the kick out of the stuff and how it makes their prickers tingle." The gathering of gnomes giggled a bit at that, excluding Gorm who still sat in his chair pouting shooting daggers at George. <br>
<br>
"That's most excellent news, it seems we may have a new export on our hands gentlemen! Now we can spread the joy of our way of life to the outside world who are unaware of the experience, most righteous" The table collectively nodded, they may not be as cooky as Zeek but they shared his vision of a world that new the pleasures of the plants and fungi.</div>

- Town Hall -</b>​</div><br>
It did not take long for Junior-Ambassador Franco Rosse and Sir Kafka to arrive at the town hall in the proper city limits of Rainbow Grotto. The two angels circled over the building once, then glided down to land in an open spot once it seemed clear. Landings were always nicer back in New Heldon where roof access to many angel-specific buildings was standard. Some buildings could <i>only</i> be accessed by the roof, though those establishments were often few since they catered only to pure angels. Even the half-breeds that could manage a weak flight weren't allowed in. While many of the aristocracy were wanting to eliminate some discriminatory actions to promote the national unity, not all felt that way. <br>
<br>
"[How long must we be here, sir? This place is a disorderly trash heap,]" Sir Kafka said, speaking in the native language of the angels. It was a near certainty that few, if any, here spoke the language fluently. Still, Franco Rosse sent a stern look at the knight. <br>
<br>
"[Manners, sir knight, manners, please. We are here on important business to further the glory of Heldon.]" <br>
<br>
The knight bowed his head as an apology and followed the Junior-Ambassador into the town hall. They had been here a number of times and were familiar in this place. It was fortunate the construction was made to also benefit the human inhabitants, as Franco Rosse was unsure if he would be able to stand the indignity of having to stoop into a building. Sir Kafka would undoubtedly balk at that, too.<br>
<br>
They spoke with the officials present and waited for entry into the council chamber, or Meeting Hall as they officially called it. When the time came, they entered with all the stately grace they could muster. Many considered the angels to be arrogant, which was perhaps not entirely untrue. Acting went a long way, regardless.<br>
<br>
"Esteemed wise men of Rainbow Grotto, we thank you for allowing us entry into your humble place of meeting. We do not wish to take up too much of your valuable time; however, I come at the behest of Ambassador Dressca to discuss a matter of mutual benefit for New Heldon and this great nation," Franco Rosse said, opening with a low and magnificent bow and speaking in a clipped, accented version of the gnome language. He was proficient in several angel dialects and a few entirely foreign languages as well. An invaluable trait for anyone working with an ambassador.<br>
<br>
"We would like to organize the official and continued purchase of Blue Rush, as well as..." he went on to list several more prominent mind-altering edibles," ... so that we may utilize them as necessary for New Heldon. Our contract would be an official, legal, and wholly sanctioned state document between New Heldon and Rainbow Grotto, carrying with it all the benefits that entails." <i>And the consequences, </i>Franco Rosse added mentally.<br>
<br>
 "A deal of this nature can only serve to bring prosperity to us both, and bring us closer in this turbulent world." <br>
<br>
Franco Rosse smiled and delivered his words with elegance, and even Sir Kafka managed to maintain a neutral, if haughty, expression in the back.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b>-Rainbow Grotto-<br>
-Town Hall-</b><br>​</div>The eyes of Councilors grew wide at the implications of the deal these Angelic men brought with them. Not only would such trade be a boon for the town itself but it could provide them with enough capital to expand the Rainbow guard, and bring the neighboring villages under their authority. After all, farmland was growing more and more scarce as migrants flocked to the lands and more was devoted to the growing and maintenance of large patches of Mycelium. Two gnomish secretaries meanwhile brought forward two large chairs for the Angels to sit in. They were large even for a human as the council wanted to be prepared for any size rump that might grace them with its presence. <br>
<br>
Zeek chewed on his lip thinking over the ambassador's words. He had lived his whole life in the cabbage and peanut patches of his people living a simple life. When they made the great trek from their ancestral homeland in Kazarok up the river Litly he envisioned that the tranquility he had always lived would continue. But when he found the mushrooms in the woods of Grensvep he found revelation through their consumption that he wanted to share with the world. Now that the prospect was sitting right before him and it frightened him to no end. Even in his old age, nearing his third century, succeeding in his life's work was still a sublime feeling, one he was unsure how to react to.<br>
<br>
The Grotto needed to grow if it was going to continue to thrive and its people allowed to live their lives in peace. Rumors from the north spoke of bandits and monsters descending down the slopes of the mountains to pluck up the unsuspecting and helpless. They would need to be well prepared should any beastly folk find their way to his stoop. While the others were murmuring to themselves over the proposal he decided to speak.<br>
<br>
"That's a tall order from a tall drink of water ambassador. In order to produce enough supply to adequately fill the mouths and minds of New Heldon we'd need time to expand our fields and irrigation systems. Luckily fungi are very fast growers, but spreading the mycelium takes quite some time. It can be done all the same simply the delay I warn you about." He pauses to stroke his long and mangled beard in contemplation of further actions needed to set up meaningful trade. "There is also of course the matter of transportation and payment. The former is easy enough in shipping, the river Litly flows right into the Middle Sea and from there we can sail to your end of the waters. However in sending goods or even merchants back to us of course there is some complication..."<br>
<br>
The other councilors looked strikingly at Zeek, the old bastard still had the some sense of governance and trade even after fifty years of frequent use of the plants. But they still feared that he could mess things all up if he wasn't careful. It wouldn't be the first time he frightened off prospecting traders.<br>
<br>
"If we were given proper re-imbursement for our commodities...we may be able to establish an trading post at the mouth of the river to expediate trade and communications between our nations indefinitely. For the river Litly is long and going up stream, while mostly amiable, the fishing and farming peoples of the valley are not always fond of strangers. Having an easier means of access would eliminate the threat of any unfortunate accidents." He concluded by sitting back into his chair and taking a long puff from his pipe, negotiations had begun.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b>- Rainbow Grotto -<br>
- Town Hall -</b><br>​</div>The two angels took their seats in the large chairs, though Kafka needed a look from Franco Rosse to do so after he nearly complained. A chair too big was like a chair too small. The Junior-Ambassador listened closely to Zeek's words, cringing at some of them and nodding inwardly to others. It seemed the strange little gnome was more capable than he had anticipated. That was something he couldn't admit to Dressca, least he get a good smack on the head for a silly underestimation. <br>
<br>
With a polite and entirely civil laugh, Franco Rosse nodded. "Of course, sir. I would like to amend, though, that we do not plan to, ah, fill all the mouths and minds in New Heldon. Simply a select few. To begin with we only wish to purchase a moderate amount to... explore with. As it stands, we do not know the effect many of these substances may have on our constitutions, and angels can have delicate appetites. I only envision perhaps a dozen crates or barrels at most for right now."<br>
<br>
"As for your proposal for transit, a trading post is a most excellent idea, and in fact, I believe we are working to establish several on the bountiful waterways near home. If I may suggest the establishment of one on an island in the Middle Sea rather than at the mouth of the Litly. Islands are more defensible, after all." <i>And its less distance for our traders, if only by a small margin.</i><br>
<br>
"Concerning payment, we are more than happy to pay with coin, though we can also offer labor services for architectural and military matters. We have a <i>long</i> history of applying our souls to such matters. Additionally, and for this I cannot speak with full certainty, but we may be able to loan junior mages skilled in white magic to assist in whatever work is necessary." <br>
<br>
Experience was always good. Out here in these distant lands, soldiers itching for a fight, budding architects, and student mages could all work a little more unhindered.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b>-Rainbow Grotto-<br>
-Town Hall-</b><br>​</div>Zeek smiled at the notion that the Angels and their folk would be satisfied with only a dozen barrels worth of the power the Grotto’s plants offered. “We have been in great need of engineers architects as of late, if you haven’t noticed the entire Town and its surroundings have been undergoing quite the major renovations. That being said, if you could send a few of them our way along with a mage of White magic to assist in the Academy of Alchemy it would be a great service to my people and the advancement of medicine.”<br>
<br>
He pauses quickly to take a puff of his herbal pipe. “ As for the trade post we’re gonna have to settle for the mouth of the river. If you haven’t guessed by our small statures gnomes generally take to the ocean like a fish to trees. However, we’ll see if we can’t wrangle enough humans together to set up base on an island as well, if nothing more than to protect the waters. Of course the entire operation depends on our ability to defend such a post from the riff raff, bandits, brigands, bumpkins, whatever might plague them. <br>
<br>
He ushers a secretary to bring him his ledger, filled with the names of all the Grotto’s inhabitants, their professions, marital status, and personal minutia. Putting on his spectacles he checks under the current listings of the Rainbow Guard. “We should be able to spare twenty-five guardsmen to protect such a trading post, if you can replicate those numbers than we can send an expedition down the Litly on the morrow.” He closes the book with a smack, putting his spectacles back into his pocket and once more taking a long inhale from his personal medicine.</div>

I do not speak for them; however, they are faithful allies and this type of work is their specialty. If they do agree to assist in the defense, we will handle their payment as well," Franco Rosse explained. Hopefully they could get that island trading post. It would be better that way for... pretty much all reasons. <br>
<br>
"It takes a little over a week of travel in good weather and time to reach New Heldon, and same back. We will send one of our men that way to relay information of this deal and on return, I suspect we shall have the needed members to defend the trading post. The facility may also benefit from other general trade goods. There are always river merchants looking for new markets."</div>

“Certainly, turning the mouth of the Litly into a trade hub would benefit the entire region. As for the business with the Kazirian Legion and an island fortress...” He sits back scratching his beard and thinking things over as to how to settle any potential disagreement. “Perhaps they could occupy an island off the coast of the mouth of the river. From there they could protect ships going across the waters and to their destinations. We do similar operations with the Rainbow Guard afterall, leasing them to caravans for protection. That way neither of us need to divert too many resources to guarding the waters and we have an island to protect trade.”​</div><br>
He leans back into his chair once again expecting that the matter had been adjourned. “Once your man returns with the positive reply we’ll start working with some of the local merchants to set up shops down by the river mouth. I can’t imagine any of them passing up such a lucrative offer.” He pauses recalling Old Man Johansson and his selective attitude to selling his exquisite wooden figurines. He might pass up the offer but the others wouldn’t.</div>

She also felt the terms were acceptable, and the next day two of the guards set off back to New Heldon to rely the information to the government. They purchased transit on a small ship that could take them most of the way before they could encounter people from Heldon who could ferry them back home.  Still, due to water hazards, some of the journey had to be completed on foot and it took well over a week for them to arrive.<br>
<br>
In New Heldon, the councilors handled the matter with Saint Elise's approval. The terms were acceptable and a treaty was written up by a lowly clerk before it was double checked and signed. Word was sent to the <b>Kazirian Legion </b>by messenger to inform them that they were welcomed into this joint partnership if they wished to include at least ten people. Once their answer had been received, a larger hulled ship was organized to get them through most of the journey before they had to carry on by foot again. In the expedition were ten Heldon soldiers, six of which were half-breeds,  the other four pure angels. With the volunteers were a doctor, two clerks, the original two embassy guards, a white mage of intermediate level and her novice, an experienced architect and his assistant, and a trio of engineering students - including whoever had been sent by the Kazirian Legion. <br>
<br>
It was over three weeks before the group arrived safely at the Rainbow Grotto to carry out their mission.</div>

-The Five Proclamations-</b><br>​</div>On this, the 20th day of the fourth month of the 7005th year of the world, the Prophet Zeek Worm-Foot “Enlightened of the Seed”  issued the following declarations and edicts after receiving a most auspicious revelation from the creator who he has deemed fit to call “The Gardener”. Written here now are the words given to his people as he spoke them. <br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">“The 1st and 7th days of the week are to be set aside as days of rest, community service, and meditation. It is on these days that the consumption of the blessed fruits of the earth provided by the Gardener are to be consumed. For we have been instructed to engage in temperance and fraternity. Thusly you all are instructed, and encouraged, to spend one of the days in meditation and contemplation of the Gardener and other committing to communal work to better society around you. This can come in many forms such as tending to the commons, cleaning trash from the streets, and providing alms for the poor. “</li>
</ul><br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">“Sages shall be appointed from amongst the most enlightened of the Grotto. In particular those who posses great virtue, self-control, and a peaceful nature shall guide the faithful on their journey in this life and in communion with the Gardener. For the road to temperance and peace is a long and arduous one and having mentors along the way will bring one closer, sooner, to the divine. “</li>
</ul><br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">“It is hereby proclaimed, by the word of God, that the consumption of natural vegetation and fungi allow us to shine brighter in the eyes of the Gardener amongst the uncountable stars that make up its gaze. However, with temperance and the organized use of them we may create a shining beacon amongst the starlight that even the Gardener cannot ignore. “</li>
</ul><br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">“Guilds shall be established across the realm with every artisan, merchant, and farmer being made an automatic member of their respective profession’s guild. As people move into our lands they may apply to join the guild and thus secure for themselves and their descendants an honorable profession. This is both to regulate the production, quality, and sale of goods, services, and crops as well as promote organization, cooperation, and general fraternity amongst our people. “</li>
</ul><br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">“From this day forth we shall never engage in a war of aggression and will respect the territories of our neighbors and hopeful friends. Instead we will protect what we have, and offer protection to those without it. For the Gardener has commanded us to take up the mantle of peace, and so let it reign forever more in our blessed lands.  “</li>
