Fire Magical Revival Efforts

Despite it being multiple hundreds of years since the Unikean fire mages were all wiped out by the dragons of Aramer. Many in Unike have been trying to study the lost way of fire magic to see if for the first time in more than a century someone born with fire magical ability can be found. As this will leave the magical balance in Unike restored once again. While also appeasing The Great Fire Spirit that very much is not happy with how the nation has treated him the past 300 or so years

Dragon Troubles

Dionysian farmers are facing a crisis. As deforestation becomes to become more rampant, the predators which previously hunted with in the forest have been drawn closer to farms and ranches, going after livestock such as sheep, cattle and chickens.

Some farms have lost more than half their entire livestock to dragons over the last few months, and there is pressure on the Court of the Cult to step in to do something. Many local militias have started to actively hunt dragons and protect their local farmers, and actively arm farmers and ranchers to ensure they can protect their animals.

Elabia: A Tale of an Elven Healer and Mage

In the northern area of the Imperial kingdom, there lived a female elf named Elabia. Despite her youthful appearance, she had already reached the advanced age of 93. She was well known for her mastery of various magical elements and was often seen voluntarily helping the locals with various domestic problems. The most notable of which is the defeat of a large fire dragon in the Tondosia region, which could potentially flown from Dionsyia in the west. As a result, she was personally praised across the country including the emperor, where a stone statue was built in honour of her victory. On the other hand, she was a skilled healer, who had travelled on numerous journeys as a magical healer across the country. Among one of them, she successfully prevented the outbreak of a serious and deadly local disease. During the elves rebellion, Elabia was constantly seen tending both the elven fighters as well a small numbers of Navean soldiers. Recently, it was revealed that she had begun to enroll both elves and human students to learn about her magical power.

Astoria Football Association

After much delay Unikeans successfully summoned a lost scroll that contained blueprints to a game devised in another world known as football or soccer. Teams of 11 would compete in a nations league format in order to crown the best football team in Astoria. Unikeans were so impressed by this that they have officially started an international football association in this new world, despite the games being designed for humans from the future. Magic will be utilized so that all players are human and given appropriate scaled stats, as otherwise there would be no way to keep the game fair and competitive. The nations league will begin soon and we invite all in the world of Astoria to participate!

OOC: Yes this is the return of the Astoria Football Association lol, lemme know if you would like to participate :3

Naris Raid[sub] a The United Ariabics and Calidur[/sub]

"AIRSHIPS AT 20:31(8:31 PM)!" says an officer in the city of Naris, a city with a heavy sword factory (a big building with blacksmiths making swords), it is obvious why the Calidurian Airships or Hálendine Airships try to bomb it, the UAE zeppelins get into action, with the Graff Spay leading the charge, the air clashes for hours, cannons fire and muskets clash on the ground. In the end, no victory was found for the UAE, the city still stands in UAE control but the factory is demolished.

Airships lost: 3

1 UAE

2 Calidur

Victor: UAE, but the Hálendine Airships did the job.

Failed Naval Assault

At around 10pm today the small Hálendine navy sailed in Arabian waters. Their target was the port city of Mins (you can change to name to something better). While they managed to enter the Arabian Empire undetected, they were met with stiff resistance outside the city. Shots were fired and battle swiftly ensued. The Hálendine navy managed to sink 2 Arabian ships, however this came at the cost of losing 4 of their own, and failing to do any damage to the city. As such the mission is objectively a failure.

Fire Practice Gone Wrong

As the efforts to revitalize fire magic continue, an Unikean practicing fire magic accidentally set his entire chicken coop on fire, which eventually turned into a Giant Fire spirit that destroyed part of his village. As such local authorities have dispatched water magic forces in order to put a stop to the fire spirit. Following a short confrontation and a few trees burned down the fire spirit was dispatched and peace was restored in the Unikean village, with all the locals learning to use fire magic safely. Which may seem obvious but one has to remember that Unike has a nation has basically no fire magic so it's largely unknown to us.

The First Football Game

Fans poured into the stands in the capital city of Unike, where the first ever inaugural football match played between Aramer and Unike would be taking place. Elven mages had crafted a specially designed barrier that caused all players to shift into a normal human physical form for the duration of the match in order to keep the game entirely fair and balanced. As such the usage of any sort of additional magic to otherwise interfere with the game is strictly prohibited. Without further ado here come the teams! The game started out fairly slow with minimal offensive success on either team due to general unfamiliarity with football rules themselves, as to be fair Unike did get these plans from another world, specifically from some city called Beiyo, whatever that means. Eventually Aramer broke through and scored the first goal to go up 1-0 on the home Unikean side, the crowd was disappointed in this to say the least, but alas we entered half-time down 1. Following the beginning of the 2nd half Unike scored 2 goals in rapid succession to completely turn the game on its head, and now all of a sudden it was Aramer who was feeling the pressure. One particularly funny moment in the match was when there was a 10+ minute argument over what the offsides rule meant as none of the players fully understood the new rule. Finally the match whistle blew and things were calm once again in the stadium following an Unikean victory cheer, as they had down to historical rivals 2-1 in the first ever football match in Astoria history.

The Communal States of Heberia enters the World Stage, Part I of II

Three years ago...

Iodarie Vazzali sat at her desk, doing the mundane tasks that Chairwoman of the Communal Party of Heberia (or CPH) required. As hours went by, Vazzali went to grab herself some lunch from the kitchen of the Bosmuth, residence of the CPH Chairwoman. Grabbing herself a simple sandwich, one made of the normal Heberian toppings - arctic salmon, beets, and potato slices - she headed back to her office to do more of her job, sitting in briefings and making decisions on domestic policy. Later that day, Vazzali received an important communique from Anite Evaents, reading:

"RECIPIENT: VAZZALI 3109

SENDER: EVAENTS 9112

DATE: UNKNOWN

New ore in northern territories.

-LINE-

Metallic grey, named "V-Metal".

-LINE-

Expansive mine system possible.

-LINE-

Evaents.

V3109-E9112-N-29425A"

Vazzali was enthusiastic, both on the remarkable discovery and word back from her romantic interest, Evaents. Vazzali took her wagon train to the northern territories, both excited to see the discovery in person and to finally reunite after two years without seeing each other in person. After just shy of a fortnight, Vazzali met Evaents in a public courtyard.

"Anite! How I've longed to see you and this remarkable discovery!" Vazzali exclaimed.

"As well as I, Iodarie. This expedition has certainly proved useful, but it has been most saddening to be away from you. Lead Corporal of the Corps of Expedition is a tiring and depressing task."

"So is being locked to Farush for most of the year. But let us put those matters aside, Anite. Shall we get some lunch?"

"I am rather peckish."

The two went to a nearby tavern, enjoying the time they had with each other, the time they had gone without for two whole years. After lunch, they discussed about the findings of the expedition. After a week of scientists closely examining the materials, Vazzali and Evaents discussing the matters, and rampant speculation on Vazzali's whereabouts rose, Vazzali would return to the capital of Farush and share the findings with the rest of the country.

And the stars descend upon Azhania...

The night grew dark and long, the stars shone brighter than the smoldering ashes of Makarat

the wind blows softly over the pile of ash. a lone figure stands upon a nearby hill, watching. the figure soon vanishes, only to reappear in front of the smoldering city. a soft red glow is cast upon the ashes, the figures eyes shining a brilliant shade of crimson. the figure removes a book from his bag, it has many sigils and demonic symbols upon the cover and binding. the figure opens the book, his feathers slightly ruffled by a breeze. as he opens the tome, an ethereal purple glow emanates from the figure. the ashes of the city begin to rise and swirl, the very cosmos above begins to shine brighter, as if every single star was undergoing supernova. the ashes rose higher and higher, soon forming buildings and temples and houses. the figure uses a divine magic to seemingly draw the very stars over the new city, an eternal cosmos above it, never letting the daylight in. the figure sets down his book, and sighs happily.

The spell is complete. Limbo is born

the figure walks into the newly built city, finding the throne room, and sitting upon his new kingdom.

"and now, the name Stolas Goetia shall be known far and wide among Astoria"

the figure leans onto his throne, seeming slightly bored that he does not have any subjects to rule over, but he cannot simply bring them into existence... right? the figure opens his book once more, from clouds of swirling stardust, he forms ten people. five males, five females. he tells the new humans, "go forth and spread my name across the lands, make sure that the name Stolas Goetia rings through the mountains of Samoer, make sure it rings through every single part of this land!"

the figure, has a name. Stolas Goetia, once a prince of hell, now a ruler of the mortal realm.

Ino had seen the massive leaps in technological advances over the past few years. He super happy for the mortals down below. He was like a muse to them, inspiring an age of technology. Since he was a god, he couldn't directly influence the mortals, but he influenced their dreams and ambitions. If they wanted to fly without having to use wind magic, they could. Ino uses imagination to shape reality. The mortal imagination could think up anything.

Ino, the god of innovation and technology, had hoped for a international guild for inventors and tech enthusiasts alike to talk about their new creations. He had seen the great airships of Halendi (Calidur) and Unike. It had given him a sense of security and hope.

A man by the name of Zion Helios would start INIG, or International Inventors' Guild. Ino had conjured up a dream in which Helios would be helping inventors with their problems and making the world a better place. INIG would be a place where inventors could talk to each other about new technology in the works and could bounce ideas to one another. It would be magic without mana.

The Cosmic rite shall begin soon.

The deep abyss of night envelopes the land. the stars start to align.

Stolas stands outside of his palace. his feathers being ruffled ever so slightly by the wind. he stares out into the stars, as if awaiting something to come from the heavens to greet him. He reaches his hand out to the heavens, as if to say hello. after a few moments, Stolas closes his eyes. as he waits, a soft fluffy hand reaches out to him from the heavens. the hand grabs Stolas, sending him away to a place far above this plain land of sands and dunes.

A place far above the land of sand and dunes

Stolas awakes once more, drifting through a place he knows all too well. the stardust floats around him, the stars in the distance shine with a brilliance only rivaled by that of a dying galaxy. for once, the thoughts in Stolas' mind calm down. it is truly silent here, no wind, no voices in his head. he lies back, letting the calm wash over him for a few moments. A star, shining with such a brilliant violet hue that one would mistake it for the mark of a God, drifts into the path of this realm. Stolas rises once more, seemingly in awe at the sight. he floats towards the star, his hand reaching out as if to touch it. the star shines brighter, almost blinding. and then, as the star aligns with the thousands more surrounding Stolas, it goes dark for a moment. then, in a bright flash of light, the violet star goes supernova, casting a glow so vivid and colorful that even the people of Limbo could see it. Stolas simply watches this grand display of beauty. when it is all gone, and the starts return to their place in the sky, he decides he is ready to leave.

The night goes on

Stolas awakes once more, now returned to his palace. he looked back to the heavens one more time, and returned to his throne room.

Islamic Silk Roads

A Ottoman merchantrade named “Uaman Al Yaman”decided to travel to Ravennoor, Elysium, Arstoria, Dionysia, Vaisgers, Erbos, Solavian, Nator States and Alledis. His goal was to trade them with gold, silver, salt, silk and magic and even trade religion. Uaman Al Yaman spread trade and religion across the nation. In the Uaman Al Yaman Journey Book, which talks about different Non-Human and their religion, he says “As I walk in streets I find many magic and temples. What I saw was a statue of gods. When I prayed my head down, one of the Elves thought that I was making a magic spell. I laugh, ask the Elves that I was praying, they ask is that how you pray. Yes, I worship the only one god, an old Elves came up and said what one god you mean? Well, in my religion we call him “Allah” because there is only one god and that he does not have any child or even other gods like him. The old Elves replay so how come your religion doesn’t have an image or statue of him. In my religion, god doesn't show himself for many reasons and that is impossible for god to show himself. But if you want to know more than you should have my book. As I walk out of town, give out a goodbye” Since then , Uaman Al Yaman spread religious trades across different nations. Since end of Elf Byzantine, may Ottoman merchantrade starts spread around into a market by spread rich trades and religious in different nation, the Islamic Silk Roads connects Ravennoor, Elysium, Arstoria, Dionysia, Vaisgers, Erbos, Solavian, Nator States and Alledis giving easy route of trade.

“I relay unto you a communiqué recently received from a institution stationed along the illustrious Alledis NatorState Alpine Line. This line, as you may be aware, links the northernmost reaches of Nator State's maritime domain with its southern ports, traversing through the scenic landscapes of Alledis before returning to the heartland of Nator State. The epistle in question commences in a manner befitting its station:

‘To the Gentlemen Concerned,

Pray allow me the privilege to bring to your esteemed attention the operational challenges besetting our outbound-rail-receiving station, a circumstance exacerbated by the tardy arrival of a substantial fraction of our consignments during the twilight hours of the afternoon. This regrettable situation engenders a series of adversities including but not limited to congestion within our facilities, necessitated overtime on the part of our diligent workforce, ensuing delays to our trailers, and regrettably, in certain cases, cascading delays to the timely dispatch of our freight. On the tenth day of November, the auspices of your esteemed company graced us with a consignment totaling 510 pieces, arriving at our threshold precisely at the hour of 4:20 post meridiem. We are compelled to solicit your gracious cooperation in devising stratagems to ameliorate the untoward consequences arising from the belated receipt of merchandise. May we respectfully petition that, on those days coinciding with the dispatch of volumes akin to that received on the aforementioned date, concerted efforts be made to expedite the conveyance of trailers to our domain or, alternatively, to effectuate the delivery of a portion of the cargo during the matutinal hours?

The felicity resulting from such an arrangement would accrue to your esteemed selves twofold: the expeditious unloading of your vehicular carriages and the unequivocal assurance that your commercial endeavors shall proceed unimpeded forthwith upon receipt.

With the utmost sincerity and anticipation of mutual cooperation,’

The tenor of this letter, while earnest in its plea, inadvertently engendered an aura of reluctance rather than camaraderie. Commencing with a lamentation of the Terminal's trials, a topic of scant general interest, it proceeded to solicit our cooperation without due consideration for any potential encumbrances such a request might impose upon our own operations. Only in the final paragraph, as an afterthought, was the pivotal point raised—that our concurrence would not only hasten the unloading of our trailers but also ensure the swift dispatch of our merchandise upon its arrival. This organizational approach, though well-intentioned, regrettably cast a pall of discord upon the discourse, veiling the underlying spirit of collaboration. It is an axiom universally acknowledged that to engender cooperation, one must first empathize with the desires and exigencies of the other party. Alas, this epistolary endeavor fell short in its strategic deployment of persuasive rhetoric.”

Captive: "I beseech thee, grant me my liberty. I wish not to languish within these dismal confines."

"Thou art once more preoccupied solely with thine own desires. Wherefore should I release thee from this darkened dungeon? What doth it profit me? Perchance, were thou to contemplate my desires and discern how thy release redounds to my benefit, thou wouldst not remain incarcerated herein."

Renewed military campaign

The United Ariabics

The Hálendine invasion of Arabia had begun to slow down in recent months, and many within Arabia presumed that talks of a cease-fire were imminent. However at around midnight a renewed invasion force struck out from western Hálendi with the intention of splitting Arabia in half. The force is composed of approximately 200,000 soldiers including 50,000 horse cavalry, 10,000 hippogriff cavalry, 3,000 dragon cavalry, 5,000 fire mages, 7,000 air mages, 3,000 earth mages, and 6 airships. This force is led by the renowned Hálendine general Christopher Cainswol, arguably the best Hálendine general in living memory. He plans to move with as much speed as his large force can manage and cut a path to the sea. He believes that his force will be able to defeat any resistance they meet along the way, and sever the Arabian supply lines with ease.

While Cainswol's force moves southeast, another far less intimidating force will be moving into northern Arabia. This force, composed of only ~100,000 soldiers, will be tasked with annexing the northern region of Arabia. Though this force, led by general Michael Wolfsbane is smaller, it is no less important as the annexation of the north is Hálendi's main goal in this war. Wolfsbane's forces have been separated into three to launch a multi-pronged attack on the north. Additionally, all forces along the frontlines have been given standing orders to push any advantage they are given, as it is expected that Arabia will reallocate forces to stop Cainswol.

https://imgur.com/a/sDxikNr

(This link should work to show Hálendi's plan)

Furthermore, this attack comes after rumors of negotiations with the Ottoman Empire were finally confirmed yesterday. The Ottoman Empire will be providing Hálendi with war material in the form of guns, ammunition, and siege cannons to aid in their fight against Arabia. In exchange, Hálendi will attempt to get land for the Ottomans at the negotiating table, assuming Hálendi wins. Both nations are eager to see a weakened Arabia, and there are ongoing discussions about the possibility of the Ottoman Empire joining the war against Arabia.

With 8,321 troops, the attack lasts for 5 weeks, with troops firing Turkish Cannons onto places of known troop hiding. on the 3rd day, troops attacked the city with full force, the attack was enough for Calidurian forces to retreat... just a little.

THE MARCO POLO CAMPAIGN

1st Battle of Desert Marco Polo

The 1st battle of Marco Polo in short, was the most tough front the UAE fought. with General Eisenhow, Kiolia, and Polo de Mazico. With 21,247 troops, they marched in to fight the enemy. The battle lasted a full month, with heavy losses and the death of Kiolia. Shoot to the eye. Without General Trinidad joining with 6,000 troops, the battle would of ended in 2 weeks. the UAE lost the first one, but a second one comes soon.

2nd Battle of Desert Marco Polo

The 2nd battle of Marco Polo, lasted about 8 days, but with the death of Kiolia, Mazico wanted vengeance. With orders not to fight until General Ozampi arrives. he led his remaining troops of 3,201 troops with a suicide charge, something not recommended in the play books folks. He and all troops died but taking 10,802 Calidurian troops with them. with only General Ensinhow and Trinidad left, with 12,034 troops remaining. General Ensinhow led 400 troops of do ambushes as the enemy moved closer to Yumia Bridge. the Calidurian Army went back into General Ozampi's army, a clash abruptly started with General Eisenhow and Trinidad joined 30 minutes later. leaving the army retreating out of the desert. a very hard and brutal battle.

Operation Blitz

With the Entire north Secured, the Confederacy ordered the Militias in the northern and southern Provinces to attack the west and to secure it as fast as possible. The Militias (excluding the ones already formed in the west to protect their settlements) have not entered any western provinces since 1649, where the Confederacy failed after losing momentum and being pushed back. However, the confederacy has high hopes and confidence for the operation, with the now more coordination between Militias and the advancements in technologies, they believe it will give them a superior edge in fights with the horrors.

Despite this, many in the Council are heavily pushing for a unified Confederacy Military, however, many smaller towns are voting against it, claiming they would lose one of the many things that make them independent, and their own identity, with counterpoints proposing to be all known as Ravennoorers and not claim identities to their towns and cities.

It was also received that the news for the liberation of the North was not sent out at the time, acouple months ago, that it happened. it has been discovered that there are a few members apart of a group that has worked with the horrors for many years and are trying to destroy the Confederacy. Many were questioned and many were arrested.

Port City Creation

The nation of Hálendi has long sought to strengthen its trading power. Despite Hálendi’s generally negative relation with the sea, the importance of trade has long been understood. Plans for the founding of several trade outposts had first been drafted up a few years ago, but the outbreak of war put all non-military matters on hold. Despite the recent difficulties in the war, the king of Hálendi is confident nonetheless that the war will end soon. Therefore, he has ordered that the founding of the first trade outpost be brought underway.

A small fleet of civilian ships departed from the northwest of Hálendi today. Their destination is a short trip across the sea. They’ll be building a port from the ground up under direct order of the crown. It will be difficult, but they’ll have a near limitless amount of support and resources. This is hopefully the first of many such ports flying the Hálendine flag. It will take some time for the trading outpost to truly begin to flourish, but it will be given high priority.

Escape of slave from Athos Sparks Investigation

Yesterday, the escape of a catboy slave named Milos has prompted an investigation by the Guild of Mages.

Milos, born into servitude in Athos, managed to vanish from his master's (Polemos Leonidas Degonakis) estate under mysterious circumstances. It is believed that he received assistance from a mage skilled in teleportation magic.

The sudden disappearance of Milos has raised questions among the ruling authorities, leading to an inquiry by the Guild of Mages to identify the individual responsible for aiding his escape.

Meanwhile, the Stratiotes have been mobilised in an attempt to apprehend Milos. However, it appears that Milos has already left the nation, likely aboard a ship bound for Dionysou.

Ottoman Surian Island Settlement

In the south of Ottoman Island there has been colonization of a new island that is named “Surian Island ''. Ports and Docks were a settlement of 5 locations in each town. Navy bases were built there and railways built in ports and docks.The colonization of Surian Island provided a trade route in west and south that helped any cargo ship to pass through in route. Meanwhile, Iron, gold and magic black stone has been discovered as a plan of building a mine settlement to farm out rich minerals in the coast of Surian Island.

The Rise Of a New Nation

A speech Held in the Major Colony city called ‘Draconia’ In the main plaza had Riled up the nearly 3.5 Million Inhabitants that had either listened to it it in the Large City Center Or had Received Word by paper or tongue. The Newly Emerged Prince Had given a long hour-long speech.

“...And yet today, For now, and Forever Under Our single Stared sky, I proclaim this Empire, Our Empire of Draconians, Our Empire of Exiles shall be formed…Today I Proclaim, THE DRAGONSTAR IMPERIUM” Cheers and Shouts Of patriotic Glory and Joy sounded deep within the city, and far beyond the walls into the Empty Wildlands. This Proclamation was Only a week ago, and Already, news had made its way to all parts of the continent of “Seylath”. And Quickly Spreading to the Lands of “Wetheloria” and “South Etheloria” and Beyond.

The Head of The State was The ‘King and Kaiser’ Arbolath Tarkin. An older and slightly out of touch with the populace with his older years,

Despite His Purple Scales over his body, Dorian Tarkin, The Prince, Chosen Heir, and adopted Son of Arbolath would be the face of the New Empire.

In Evetop, as the school bells ring throughout the city, there was a Dionysian walking through the street. She was heading to the embassy to get some work done. The woman had a lot of work to do as an ambassador. Evetop was a collegiate city in Palisade, so it had a very educated population. Most of the people there were aspiring professors and archmages.

As the Dionysian headed into the embassy, she was stopped by a few students who noticed she was an ambassador. They walked up to her to ask a few questions for the school newspaper. She tried to dismiss them, but decided to go ahead and answer a few of their questions:

"Hi Miss. We'd like to ask you a few questions about your time here and what you do if you don't mind." The reporter smiled, "But first... What's your name?"

"Phobe Dimitriou. Pleasure to meet you."

"Ah, I understand that you are an ambassador from Dionysia. Is that true?"

"Yes." Phoebe sighed, "I do have a lot of stuff to do though. I can answer three questions."

"Okay Miss Dimitriou. Your first question is: Is being an ambassador fun for you in a general sense?"

"I do like my job as an ambassador. I get to see the world and enjoy new cuisine and culture different from my own. It can get pretty boring if your stuck at home all day."

"Okay. Next question: What do you think of the political state of Palisade right now? Do you think it is calm?"

"Possibly the most calm I've seen in a government. I feel like something is going on up in the heavens in order to make this place a good place to live. It takes effort and time to create a stable environment that fuels growth economically and politically."

"Final question: what do think about slavery? If I remember correctly, Dionysia is against slavery, but we want to hear it from you."

"I do think we need to have a stricter stance on slavery. These slaves are just like you and me. We as a world are so much better than to use other people as free labor and I think we shouldn't have to rely on slavery as a crutch."

And with that came the end of the interview. It wasn't everyday kids were so interested in politics, so Phoebe was was happy to help. The Dionysian waved goodbye to the aspiring reporters.

Maxwell

King Ser I always suffered epilepsy through all of his life. Yet, sadly, today, at 4:38 PM, he was found unresponsive in his house. It would suggested that he had a massive seizure, and since nobody was around, he died. Though he only served for a few years, he will be remembered as one of the greater kings of Samoer.

Ser had no children, and no spouse. He had no siblings, and his only other relatives were not applicable to be the king of Samoer. This caused a massive power vacuum for several days. During the time without a government, many governors stepped up to be crowned the king, but none of them were able to take the empty throne.

One man, Maxwell Samoer, grew very, very popular. People loved him for his charisma and incredible ability to make speeches. Though, he was not of royal or rich blood, and therefore couldn’t be crowned as king. This did not stand for those who supported him. Him, and an armed crowd of almost 1 thousand, marched on the capital, demanding that he be crowned king of Samoer. This broke out in a firefight. Guards of the royalty were told that until a suitable person stepped up, nobody else could be the leader. Since Maxwell did not fit the bill to become king, they couldn’t allow him to.

At 3:29 PM, only two weeks after Ser’s death, the royal and old guard of Samoer met the “Samoer People’s Army” at the city square. They had a standoff which lasted over 2 hours. At 5:51 PM, the guard were given the order to fire. Volley, after volley. Though, the People’s Army outnumbered and outgunned them. After 30 minutes of a brutal bloodbath, at 6:24 PM, the People’s Army had won.

There was nothing that could stop them. An entire tsunami could have destroyed the entire island and they still would have been marching. Maxwell Samoer was officially the “Grand King” of Samoer. A huge celebration was held in the streets, some were celebrating, others were mad. There is officially a new leader of Samoer.

Glory to Samoer!

An unknown disease has been spreading through Aramer's farms, wreaking havoc on the crops. While this might not concern most Aramerians directly as carnivores, it poses a significant threat to our cattle, upon which we heavily rely.

Disappearance

Following Maxwell being the Grand King of Samoer, during this month, several people have gone missing. One notable man, named Raer Qub, was very well known for being a very large supporter of the Tran dynasty. The Tran dynasty ended when Ser I took charge. Qub, though, was extremely angry that someone of not royal blood became a king of Samoer. He made several statements and other things about how outraged he was. Just a week and a half after Maxwell had become king, Qub went missing. His family reported him as missing but no action was taken to find him.

In just the past month, many other famous politicians for the time went missing. When they were reported missing, much like in Qub’s case, no action would be taken to finding them. People also reported that many different books on Samoer’s history were taken out of libraries. Some people believe Maxwell is responsible for this, others believe that this is a punishment from the gods for several different reasons. Glory to Samoer!

The schools in Evetop were funded by the government and other private investors. The campuses usually were huge with the biggest being an acre near the outskirts. The children were usually taught how to use magic as well as social science and mathematics. They were given the best education for whatever they were going to do in adulthood. The schools also brought in a lot of foreign investors in the city, vying for the next best worker for their company or government. This diverse environment was good for the economy and Evetop became one of the educational centers of Astralis.

The newspaper was published. It was interesting that these kids asked these questions. This would start a club among the students, who were eager to fundraise and help build an underground safe-space for slaves. As they say in Evetop, "If you have the schools backing, you can accomplish anything." The anti-slavery club fundraised out in the street and at local parks. The message spread with local newspapers writing about it. In no time, everyone in Palisade knew about this. President Alko did not say anything, but he did donate some of his own money to the cause. The students had opened up the borders for slaves to be free.

Upon the formation of the newly united ‘Draconian Coastline’ many issues have formed into the heart of the Capital city and Beyond. The royal Family had to create a plan to deal with all of these Issues, such as schooling, Protection, and Economic goals.

The Royal Family had come up with the rough draft to something called “Archo-Home” Due to the Lacking police forces and other defenses being lackluster, it has been decided that the first step to “Paradise” will need to make sure that not only is the current Police forces are well trained, but also expanded. The Peace-Keepers corps, or “Peacekeepers” has been created to fit these protection issues.

Other invites to Other nations, near and far have also been sent out asking for trainers to help train these police forces

A Letter To Dionysia

Small paper sent to the mainland by Count Michalis Pavlotis while in exile

It’s been raining nearly constantly for almost two weeks by now, a cool breeze fills the air. The entire country is on edge, people are afraid to walk the streets. People have begun to go missing left and right, it’s to a point no one can deny it anymore. Something is hunting us, and nobody is safe. My people, hear me, for I do not deceive you. I tell you as the Count of the North Woods, as the one formerly tasked to carry out this horrific task myself by the High Priestess; please hear my word. It is no beast or creature which stalks us, but our own trusted Court! Is it not but suspicious of the increase of their commandments to trust in them, to force you to see them your friend? For every building adorns two signs; Trust in the Court or be it The Court is your Friend, is this not but to weaken your questioning of their faith? Arise, my fellow countrymen! For it is but the Court which has ordered your sons and daughters be taken in the night, they are brought to my domain! They are fed into the forest and are to be taken by such a beast so cruel and unholy. Even I have fallen victim to my own cruelty, attacked by these wicked monsters. Now I lay in hiding, banished by my own government as I wish to spread onto you the truth. Your Court which claims to be our friend and protect us has helped hide a dark forest, awoken by the Journian War. Every day, your kin are fed to it, it craves the flesh of us. And yet it does not eat us, it uses the flesh of your beloved to form a body of its own. It mimicks and mocks you, it’s flesh hangs croodly off its bones. Every Dionysian has heard rumors of strange happenings of the North Forest, townspeople not allowed to travel between cities, the former railways which once carried a booming tourist industry have been uprooted and destroyed, Royal Guardsmen patrol every inch of the border between civilization and the forest, the Navy patrols the sea like no other region, you require permission from the Queen herself to enter the County. Yet fault her not; she knows not the horror which is partaking. It has been the lie of the County and it’s officials and the Court which says onto her “The Journians are rebellious and targeting the Greeks, they seek to destroy our settlements and force us out of the land they agreed to grant us! Restrict travel as to keep all safe while we handle the traitors.” I know this be true as I myself speak lies upon her, I betray my oath and pledge to Her Highest, representative of Dionysus on Astoria. If this is to reach your hands, spread it amongst others quickly, for the Court shall silence and destroy this.

Unikean Elections

It was election season in Unike, as had been done for many hundreds of years, all Unikean Elves went to a certain room in their house, purposefully designed for election purposes. The four elemental spirits appeared in front of them, each one representing one of the four top candidates for Prime Minister, depending on who wins the future of Unike could shift drastically. A whirl of wind could be felt by everyone as votes began to pour in. Two of the four candidates outright discussed ditching pacifism which would be a radical change as far as Unikean history goes. However, any nation that cannot evolve with the times is doomed to fail one of the candidates said, to a loud chorus from supporters. Following about 10 more minutes the results were official, the Progressive Party had won.

Their party platform advocates a progressive platform, that could potentially see Unike take stances in international rights issues far more, as well as an interventionist foreign policy abroad for the sake of expanding our own influence, as well as our own allies. Needless to say this will be quite the turning point for the previously peaceful nation. We all call on the governments of Aramer and Uwu to take a more active stance in world affairs and the potential creación of an offensive alliance as well.

Trust in the Court

The market has never felt busier. Hundreds of stands lie side by side down the streets of downtown Dionapolis. Despite this, there’s so little produce around. It’s almost all just fabrics and dragon hides being sold. It’s impossible to get grain anymore, even fruits are scarce. No worries, however. The city council has started to step in and some improvements have already begun, I’m sure things will be be better soon.

I continue my walk down the street till I find what I was looking for. The only place selling wine in the city, a sad little wooden stand, falling apart and rotten. Two bottles left, and it costs almost my entire monthly earnings to purchase. But it’s worth it, dioberry wine has no rival. I hand the shopkeeper the payment and begin my track back home. It’s my tenth anniversary and it’s time to celebrate.

But I’m stopped a few blocks from my house by two Royal Guards. “Halt! We’re going to need a recipe for that wine.” Part of the cities solution for the food crisis, a crackdown on theft. I reach into my pocket to try and find the recipe when I remember I was not given one, most single stand markets still haven’t started fully going through with the legislation. “I’m sorry- I appear to have misplaced it. But I bought it not far from here, I’m sure the keeper will testify I’m no thief if you allow me to bring you-“ they stop me from continuing, “We’re going to have to constrain you. You’re coming with us.”

“But I-“ I try to protest but they grab me and put shackles around my hands. One puts a rag over my face and I fall out of consciousness. I wake up in a dark room, it feels as if it’s creaking back and forth. Am I… on a boat..? I try and search for a door but trip over random crates in the floor. Eventually I find a door handle and try and open it, but to my dismay I find it’s locked from the outside. I hunch over in defeat and lay on the floor for what feels like says before I hear the door swing open and two armed guards seize me once more and lead me outside the cabin. I look around and see the ship has been docked, and notice the tree line what could be no other but the North Forest. Why the hell was I brought here over theft charges? I’m escorted off the ship and led into the forest. Deep, deep they take me until they get to an entrance to a small cave. One soldier calls out “Here again!” and a few seconds after a voice calls out from afar not just the exact words but also in the same voice, as if two of this soldier are here within these woods. They knock me down and bound my hands and feet before starting to walk away. I scream out as loud as I can, and to my horror the exact noises which escape my lifts are repeated back at me, over and over again, it gets louder every time as if whatever mimick is out there is approaching. I can’t help but shudder, and then I see it and freeze completely still in fear. This thing… it looks human, or maybe satyr? Or perhaps a mix of both-but not in the way of a hybrid, but as if one were to remove the flesh and skin of two persons of two species and tried to stitch them together. It’s skin feels it hangs just slightly from its body, not enough to be noticeable at a first glance but enough to understand something is now right. “Who… Who are you?” I yell out at this thing as it approaches slowly, only for it to repeat my question back at me, still as if in my own voice. “Get away from me!” I scream at it as it now stands directly above me. Once more, it mocks me, repeating my words back at me, “Get away from me!”

One final scream leaves my lips as the creature kneels down before me.

Imperial Coup:

Despite much of tension and hostility in the lower south of the world, it was a peaceful here in Navea. Indeed, for centuries, the ruling dynasty had been promoting a peaceful and relatively isolationist policies. Yet, all had changed in one fateful night. The ruling emperor was dropped dead after the consumption of a cup of suspicious tea provided by an imperial servant. Then, the very next day, the crown prince was also mysteriously disappeared from the palace. With these incidents, the government had immediately ordered a full investigation of the murder.

Yet, as the investigation began, a sudden armed coup occurred with the support of 3 of the most elite imperial guard regiments. Their chef organizer was no other than princess Camila Valentinio, who was a prominent mistress of the formal emperor. Additionally, she was a hybrid of elves and humans. With relatively light resistance, they successfully breaker into the Sarsburg imperial palace and expelled all members of the formal imperial house of Iquio except for princess Orivia, her only daughter with the formal emperor. The same day, the princess officially claimed the Navean throne and placed house of Valentino as the official imperial house of the nation.

When the news of the coup reach the nation, elves across Navea celebrate the victory of princes Camila, as they often believe her elven blood could make further expansion of elves rights possible. Additionally, the news had also generated a high waves of patriotism for the eleven population as well as a portion of the human population across the nation, where thousands upon thousands of elves volunteered to sign up for governmental services and military forces of the new imperial regime.

Indeed, quite different from the previous regime, the new imperial house had enforced extensive rights for the elves, which even includes the employment of human employees for elf masters and numerous top officials positions granted to noble elf families. On the other hand, some of her first acts also include the rapid expansion of the kingdom’s military primary her liner fleet size. Then, she had also began plans for the annexation of the southern territory below the border.

In the dimly lit chambers of my new home, I sat across from my vampire progeny. I poured him a goblet of rich, crimson vitae.

"Do you sense the currents of power that swirl around us, unseen by mortal eyes?" I asked, watching as he leaned forward with rapt attention. "Nator State, Ravenoor, and the Ottoman Empire have conspired in secrecy, bound by mutual interest and veiled ambitions. The three states have secretly agreed to lease a cannel zone in the Ottoman empire to Nator State whom will build the cannel. The construction will remain secret to maintain the Ottoman Empire’s relations with Dionysia up until Ravenoor also completes a cannel one and a half years from now. Nator State will retain control of cannel it has built until Nator State has made back the investment it took to build it in the first place after which the leased land and cannel returns to the Ottoman Empire expected to be sixteen and a half years from now."

My progeny nodded, absorbing each word like a sponge thirsting for knowledge. "And what role do we play in this?" he asked, his thirst for understanding matching his thirst for blood.

"We, are the unseen hands that guide and influence," I explained. "You, dear progeny, shall journey to the canal zone in the Ottoman Empire. There, under the guise of mortal benefactors, you shall ensure that our interests are protected and our influence remains unchallenged."

As I spoke those words, I saw a spark ignite in his eyes, a hunger for adventure and purpose that mirrored my own in centuries past. "But remember," I cautioned, "our true power lies in secrecy. Let not mortal eyes glimpse our true nature, for in the shadows, we wield the mightiest of swords."

[Heavenly Empire of Elysium - Welcome]

Near the nation of Ravennoor to the south and the Ottomans to the east, the holy land of elysium resides. This land is home to the Elysian people, who form up the Heavenly Empire of Elysium. These people are heavily religious and those who are deemed as sinners and heretics aren't treated well. They are usually ostracized, imprisoned, or stoned in public. Only those most devout are allowed up the ranks, and are considered the prophets.

Inside the nation, you would expect the sight of unclean cities, but the religion of the Elysians prohibit dirtiness, from the look of their clothes to the stone streets of their cities. Even those in the poorest of cities stay clean, being dirty is considered a sin.

The capital is considered the holiest part of the nation, housing the birthplace of their god: Emoru. Its highest prophet is considered the leader of the nation and is the one who gives the main interpretation of the religion.

To defend this nation, a legion of knights are trained. This legion call themselves: "Protectors of Eden". They fight to the death to protect the nation from sinners and heretics of the religion. They also aim to spread the religion to the rest of the world, so they start their travels to other countries for missionary missions, trying to expand the nation and their religion to those who don't know it. They depart from ports and cities on horseback and in ships respectfully. They don't have a hostile first contact approach to anyone, they won't be the first to attack unless attacked. They fly a flag of their country and make any attempt at signifying that they are peaceful.

Protests emerge across Dionysia over the government’s lack of a response to the ongoing famine. Nowhere are these protests more prevalent than in Dionapolis, where the fear of the food shortage and the few pieces of the puzzle of the grand conspiracy meet to send the people of the city into a frenzy. The government has shut down the city, all travel to and from has been halted. The largest port and financial center of the nation closed off, many fear this move will only make the crisis worse.

Alko Announces Aid Plan to Help Dionysia Capture Salamanders

Today, students and skilled water mages will go south to Dionysia to capture rampaging salamanders. The salamanders have severely damaged cropland and charred livestock. Palisade hopes to study the creatures and learn how best to stop the fires. Until then, Alko hopes that the water mages will help quell the flames beseeching Dionysia.

Price of War

The war with Calidur has taken heavy blows to both sides, estimating about over 1 million dead or missing. Calidur's failed invasion of Arabia cost most of the military. Saying now they're now getting pushed back all the way to Afgaphista, a city in Calidur. The UAE is also suffering, Great Eurasian Unions (Ottoman) blockade is costing Millions of Arics to be lost per day, also preventing supplies from getting through. Ottoman sailors fear after an incident where a ship's ammunition exploded on a hot Arabian day (401 F). Normally the temperature doesn't get this high, but the ships are trapping heat inside

them causing the explosion. Cazco and [REACTED] said they didn't send anyone to attack the ship.

Battle of Afgaphista

Potentially the last battle of the war, Calidur's final supply depot was Afgaphista. General Qui, from earlier, had about 100 Turkish Cannons that were manufactured in Kaimiasia. With newly promoted General Jack Cazco, General "Sword", General Uath, General Trinidad, General Ensinhow and General Shia. The largest Battle in the entire war began with 3 hour artillery fire with another artillery barrage the next day. Soldiers stormed the city on the third day, giving heavy blows to Calidur, Calidur Zeppelins arrived during the battle but cannons on UAE airships made them fall quickly then the zeppelins drop rock bombs on Calidur positions. With not much moral left in Calidur, the troops retreat back into the city of Calia.

[REPORT]

Arabian Empire: 120,921| Airships lost: 2

Calidur: 211,123 Airships lost: 12

Arabia wins a decisive victory, but morale only lifts slightly because there are barely any supplies left.

Drunk Landing

"GET BACK HERE!" says an Ottoman captain as 2 boats full of armed sailors head for the beachhead. They are really really, and we mean, really drunk, the chef saying they had 10 cups each for 1 man. As they arrive on the beach, muskets fire at them and the cavalry arrive with swords. The sailors fire back, but being drunk, they miss all the shots. The musket men fire quickly and killing the men on the boats. When they landed there were only reported 10 survivors. The cavalry took the weapons from them, tied them up, and sent them back to the ship for the captain to decide their fate. Normally they would be executed, but due to high tensions with the Ottoman Empire, they decide to not risk war. A Horseman said "I question their priorities, to invade Arabia all by themselves or to do a suicide charge. Anywho, they were super drunk and which I don't know from." A musketman said " I didn't know they were drunk, I thought they were sending a test boat to get us on the beach, then fire on us. Well, I got good practice, but hopefully I don't have to do this again... with more boats." We are waiting for an Ottoman response.

No airships in 1800, Zeppelins are even more anachronistic, as the first was in 1895 also 401 DEGREES? THAT IS BOILING TEMPERATURE! Plus, drinking alcohol is Haram. Also, rock bomb? A rock what? Also, an artillery barrage is not the most accurate, as cannons in the 1800s were not the tank exploding, army ending, beasts that they are today

A New Type of Teleportation Magic?

Researchers at the Unikean Institute for Magic Research have successfully devised a means of combining air magic with teleportation magic, leading to a new spell that costs less mana to use, goes much further and is entirely silent with an incantation. As such the possibilities for use of this are virtually limitless. The main downside is only a select few Elves have been capable of using it thus far, so this will not be useful to overhaul the entire Unikean transportation system yet. However, the government remains hopeful they can do further improvements to the spell to eventually make travel an seamless experience across all of Unike and Aramer ( Koronic )

Into the Light

Wigamear calmly waited for the indignant squeaks of the other regents to die down before he continued. Noting with some pleasure the stony silence of his unlikely allies, the Earls Gron and Barruk. The lords of the nine clans had gathered in the deep halls of Burh Khond in order to discuss the ever controversial matter of the surface. Reports of an ever-worsening situation aboveground had forced Wigamear's hand today. His proposal to march out from their subterranean homes had been met with fury by many of his fellow regents and sparked a year-long debate in Burh Khond's regency chambers. A debate that would, be Wigamear's hand, end in moments.

Wigamear had spent the last month gathering support. It was easy going at first. The two outer clans were his natural allies, their lands were the most at risk should the surface dwellers get too creative with their weapons. Still, five of the nine regents had to approve the motion for intervention. Just as the last Grand Duke commanded. Many believed that Wigamear's proposal would die a quick death. The fact it hadn't was the source of the day's fresh bursts of outrage from the opposing regents. Gron and Barruk, patriarchs of the oldest Taenari clans, lords of the deepest Burhs before Khond itself, staunch opponents to Wigamear's machinations, had switched sides. Barruk had even seconded Wigamear's motion for intervention! The idea that a Deeping Lord of Barruk's calibre would even listen to Wigamear was anathema to many of their peers. Yet, miraculously, the motion proceeded. Wigamear couldn't help but enjoy the confusion and anger radiating off of his shrinking number of enemies.

Bringing one heavy paw down on the table with a thud, Wigamear silenced the last hissed insults from his peers. All snouts turned to him in anticipation. He stood and made his declaration, "My fellow regents. Now is the time to cease bickering and to begin strategizing. It is done. Whether you opposed or supported the motion means nothing now. The votes are cast and counted. Taenaria will move forward. I have but one question for this council. Which of the clans will be the first to the surface? Which clan will march us into the light?"

Before Wigamear even sat back down the room exploded into argument once more. All thought of the previous debate abandoned. The haughty regents now warred for the honor of first to surface. Wigamear noted with some satisfaction that even the regents of the opposition clamored for their clans to be first. Shame, he thought, That matter is already decided.

Operation Blitz Report

The Militia (which launched a while back I can't find the message lol) has finally put in their report for the status of Operation Blitz, and the Confederal Council has declared it a minor success so far. It reported that they have taken and helped about 1/4 of the total land and are raining hell in the other 1/4 that would allow them to capture 1/2 of the region. The Council claims the reasons for the success were due to the militia's newfound coordination with each other, being able to more effectively attack and hold positions. However, the closer they get to the western border, the harsher the resistance gets from all species in the region. Many have suspected the heavy resistance is due to the fact they are all coming out of 1 central location so more can get to the front lines quicker, however, this theory has no evidence and has been disregarded by the council.

With this, many in the council who originally opposed a national army and the abandonment of militia groups have since either changed their mind or are considering the possibility. Although many stand strong against the idea of a national military, a vote for one now has a chance to pass and the formation of one. The arguments remain the same, the pro-national army states that a united army will be better and way more effective than what they have currently, meanwhile, the anti-national army states it would remove the very little representation the smaller communities of the confederacy have. Despite constant debate, the council has finally named their ever-lasting war, calling it the The War in the Black Forest, and has stated they will end the war that has plagued their lands for centuries.

A Century and a Half Later...

[sup][sub] Definitely doesn't relate to my first post ;3 (page 1)[/sub][/sup]

Hayakanai's anomalous incident has scarred many people, as many of their family members died from walls suddenly being one centimetre apart, or flying into a sideways lamppost after being thrown by a rapidly growing cup of tea, or maybe being crushed by said cup of tea. No one dares get close to Hayakanai again, even if such anomalous behaviours were to have diminished into small changes in size within small objects.

Yet, why is it that, in the heart of Siviru, a small rock grew in size before people's eyes? Why is it that this random table moved slightly to the right, ever so slowly? How did this random cup of tea fall upwards?

No time was wasted in initiating a massive search for the culprits. If nothing were done, the entirety of Siviru would have the same fate as Hayakanai. Documentations of underground structures were read carefully and assisted the searching, yet nothing was found. To increase the difficulty, food supplies weren't great throughout the city, as, even though the plant disease was long gone, it still stopped many hunting events.

This morning, the 24th Confederal Congress (happens every 5 years) begins. During this congress, the leaders of the 49 nations that are part of Mercov would meet to discuss the future of the federation. Once again, Vivaskova, the capitol of the federation, would host the congress. 1804-1809 term of the Party for Democracy and Prime Minister Vierjan would most likely be slow, very slow. The congress opens with Emperor Sivo Irovino the 6th giving a speech, endorsing the freedom of the people and addressing the recent "juto affair", where a high up member of the Federal Army, Marcel Gustloff Juto embezzled funds to the 'Mercovian National Front', a far right and very racist group. The Emperors speech would end with a call for unity between the racists. Backroom negotions would ender day 1, supposedly, going well.

Election season started today. It's time to vote on a new president and cabinet. The people will go to an election spot and vote on a select person who they want to be in office. We have powerful mages to entrepreneurs running for president as well as cabinet members. The legislation branch will continue working on creating new laws and passing them through the government, until the shift happens and a reshuffling of the legislation branch happens. This reshuffling will occur after the presidential and cabinet election. During the shuffle, some cabinet members may work as a legislative writer temporarily. A writer will be picked by a problem president and cabinet members. 10 writers per person in cabinet (excluding the president who gets 20).

This evening, at 2:54 on 27th of October, Multiple army officers charged the capitol building, where the Confederal Congress is being held. Currently, fighting is reported between multiple National Front members and local Socialistic and Republican militas. It is unknown what has happend to the leaders of the constituant nations. The situation seems tense, and from what most people can gather, the Putschists have seized multiple government buildings in Vivisaksoa. The National Front has condemned the "Degeneracy and Socialistic tendancies" of the republic, and has called on all members to resist the "Specter of Socialism and Democracy, which haunts our pure nation". The Labour Union of Mercov and the Asociated Federation of Mercovian Farmers released a joint statement demanding "All members of the Popular Front to strike, fight and agitate for democracy."

Mercov quickly seems to be heading towards the edge of the abyss. Only time will tell if the Republic can persevere.

Aralian Republic, 10 A.M.

Lord Daern gave a little squeak of joy as the head of his guard told him they were near the city gates. Him and his clan, while technically part of the great nine, lived much further north than the others. Burh Draka wasn't even part of the great caverns Taenari civilization originated in, it was originally just an outpost. This assignment from Wigamear would bring honor to the clan and to their isolated home. Daern had been an early supporter of the upstart first minister and was now reaping the rewards of his loyalty. Wigamear, he who had promised Daern and his clan the world, had begun to deliver. Daern clutched the parcel he held in anticipation, it was an auspicious gift. He wondered if his new friends knew they were coming. How would they be received? What did they eat? Daern's mind was filled with questions that his clan already knew the answer to. Burh Draka was dangerously close to the surface after all. How could they not've observed these strange, tall, hairless surface dwellers? Nevertheless, Daern still had one real question he would ask. Did they know of the Taenari at all before today?

Of course the Aralian citizens knew not of their soon-to-arrive guests and were suitably surprised when the usually picturesque countryside outside the capital began to move. Hills heaved upward, trees were uprooted, and the ground vibrated as dozens of Clan Daern's breachers carved a path for their delegation. The rolling mass of surface-level destruction as well as the tremors stopped for moment and many breathed a sigh of relief. Until one of the hills outside the city suddenly burst open and spawned squeaking, furry offspring. Alarms were raised and bells rang as the city mobilized to repel the subterranean threat. A series of earth-shattering blares from what was assumed to be war horns rolled over the city; sending many children into fits of tears and their parents into shock. They were further stunned when the invaders, instead of invading, seemed to be setting up for a picnic?!

Brughyll blindly lurched over to the side of the boat and expelled the rest of the day's rations into the hurling seas below him. He hated the "ocean" or whatever the human crew of the vessel called it. His surface languages were a little rusty. He fumbled to get on top of the box the crew has kindly set aside for him and his companions and wretched again. He felt the reassuring paw of Ailred on his back and attempted to greet his friend, only to be met with more of his lunch flooding from his mouth.

"You Barruks should really spend more time among the cursory clans." Ailred chortled, "Wecta knows you could use it."

Brughyll, finding a reprieve from the torrent he produced, scowled at Ailred, "I don't want to hear it, cousin. You're just as new to this as I." he spat.

Ailred grinned, "True! But in two months of travel I'm all better and you are decidedly worse." He patted Brughyll on the shoulder, "Oh relax cousin we're here! Look at how beautiful it i-"

"You know I cannot." Brughyll snarled. He knew they were close anyway. The city was deafening. He turned, "Quit your gloating and help me down then."

"You Barruks have been lording your lack of it for two centuries." Ailred retorted, helping his friend off the boxes and onto the deck, "Let me have this one moment of triumph."

Before Brughyll could snap back at his insolent cousin he heard the ship cruise into where it would be moored. The city was deafening. His snout and ears were overwhelmed with the sheer volume of smells and noises greeting him. It was far worse than anything he'd experienced back home. Brughyll assumed that Taenarian Burhs were as loud and smelly as any surface city but this was far worse. Ailred, noticing his cousin's obvious distress, grabbed him firmly by the arm and marched off the boat and onto the dock.

"Come cousin" he said, "Let's go find who's in charge.". Brughyll, completely overwhelmed, had no choice but to follow.[/spoiler]

Once news of the startling "invasion" reached the Aralian capitol Panic ensued as congress members were all talking and shouting over each other and not much of anything was being accomplished. Aralia has never heard of let alone fought something as strange as underground invaders. Suddenly the doors to the hall opened and the chatter suddenly revealed to be all 3 of Aralia's leaders entered the room. Those three leaders being Garahj, Servine and Opgev. As the three leaders quickly managed to quiet everyone actual discussion began and after awhile a vote was cast and it was ultimately decided to send to diplomats with guards for protection as the apparent "Invaders" hadn't actually done anything yet and Aralian leadership preferred to take a more diplomatic approach.

11:15 am The Approach.

As the Two diplomats Varn and Florentine headed over they were a bit skeptical as to what they would find these supposed invaders doing as it had been awhile since the original eyewitness reports came in. The guards told them they had arrived and as the two diplomats stepped out of the carriage they saw exactly what had been described. Uprooted ground surrounding the invaders who appeared to have just finished setting up a picnic and even stranger so they seemed to be beckoning them over to join, so despite their skepticism and slight fear with not many other options Varn and Florentine told the majority of their guards to stay back bringing a few with them to go introduce themselves being cautious in their approach with the guards that stayed behind as well as some soldiers watching carefully in case something were to go awry.

State Overview and its Expansion - push Northwards!

Since the start of the century, Karnithia has naturally been growing, it’s population projected to double within the next thirty years as the cloud of war which once thrived like a Horrid storm in the form of the Riftblood invasion is now long gone.

The Invasion which brought a brutal two decades of fighting Having been crushed back in March 12th, 1802 at the Battle of Pelsia, but unlike the past, during the vampiric wars of old where the first battle of the millennia old war was fought in the fields that were 16 miles away from the fledgling city and within its fields. The Battle at Pelsia was the end of this undead incursion, the last remnants of the legacy of the Vampiric wars and the following wars of the Deathless was now gone, crushed under the boots of Men of the line, the pounding of Artillery pieces and the devastating Charge of the Royal Hussars.

The War which claimed around one and a half Million lives has ended, with no means of continuing it, no Liches, no ambitious lifeless lords, or Demented necromancers, a True end to the war has come.

But with the end of the incursion came the question of what direction the nation should take? After all Karnithia was not in a ideal position on the international stage with rumors going around during the start of the century with it having joined a league of like minded nations that valued Humanity above all, that wished to enforce their own influence upon the world. Although granted the nations that were part of such a league were scattered, some in close proximity, others half way across the world, like the Kingdom of the Isles, the once collapsed nation that would have solidified the naval dominance of the league on this side of the world.

It started with the Isles, then the league fell apart, within the span of a Year it was gone, a lack of proper interests and coordination, distrust being sown, but the irony in the collapse of the league was Karnithia’s stance in the matter. It held no true interest outside of its own, naturally, having been the first to sign the Terms of the TWO which would have tied the world more closely together with the establishment of new trade networks. It did not share the same values that was absolute domination over other sentient races, or the tolerance for the outdated institutions of slavery. A prime example of this was when The hand Karnithia extended to Dionysia, a nation which was selective in its trade to say the least, unwilling to trade with nations that follow the outdated institutions of slavery, allowing the establishment of the wine trade which was one of many steps.

Oddly enough even with the focus on its interest being put above all several opportunities were allowed to past, such as during the crisis within Navea where the nation was teetering on civil war given the discrimination against its elven population, a opportunity which could have been easily exploited in so many forms.

But even with the passing of such opportunities The nation focused on further development, its industries which barely had a proper foundation several decades ago thrived in comparison to the past two decades, in hand with it so too did its military.

Karnithia was booming, but with its economic boom and the rapid growth of its industries, many ministers put their gaze northwards to Karnithia’s neighbor, there was a vast strip of land unclaimed by either nation which laid to the east, ripe for the taking, so a expedition was sent into the lands that were to be named “Delicia” at the start of 1803. The Expedition was composed of 25 thousand men from the Royal Army in hand with a thousand men from the Engineer Corps who would lay the ground work for a new railway network behind the expeditionary force, several towns would spring up during the course of the expedition into Delicia as people were encouraged to move northward for Greater opportunities for Delicia has untouched by civilization.

A changing landscape

Efforts to exterminate salamanders and the rapid fires across Dionysia have begun to make steady advancement, much to the credit of the nations which have come to the aid of Dionysia in this crisis. But even in regions where fires have been put out, the land remains charred and barren. Estimations currently put lost crops anywhere between 40%-60%, and 71% of livestock have been taken from the flames and famine.

A group of Dionysian researchers came with their Palisadian on a ship back to Palisade, carrying safely secured salamanders in flame-proof containers. The group is going to focus on the local wildlife of Palisade, notably their sea dragons.

As the situation at home has begun to very slowly die down, an expedition was sent out by the Queen. While Hellenos was mostly unaffected, there are few food crops grown in the Grand County, instead much of it's economy and vast majority of it's agricultural sector is based upon vineyards for wine making. Athonia was home to almost all of Dionysia's food, both crops and livestalk, and took the brunt of the famine and flames. This has already begun to cause massive effects to the Dionysian people and economy, and the expedition is intended to find better lands for cultivation, a quick solution to aid a small portion of the now missing agricultural production.

The small fleet Exerévnisi Téssera would take off from Dionapolis and head across the ocean to Palisade, to meet up with the research team there a month previously before moving to the southern oceans. They gathered information on the local sealife of Wetheloria before taking off once more, but now with the researchers. Moving southwards, they came to inspect the coastlines of the islands of Seylath. Observing the local wildlife and more importantly crops and plants in hope to find a new source of revenue for Dionysia, however only five were found to be worth investment in. They returned home to bring their findings and logs on the region back to the Court of the Cult to get approval and investments into a colonial project into the islands. The Court approved to finance the establishment of the region and two fleets would be sent to the islands to develop them and build a strong agricultural economy.

A major crop found on these islands was Louloditou, a crop similar to wheat. It grows larger but in smaller quantities in small bunches, as well as various fruit trees indigenous to the islands. The largest island is home to various animals, most notably a species of boar colonial authorities hope to begin to domesticate and farm.

As the morning sun rises above the horizon the citizens of Estralia wake up to move into their workspaces, the air is heavy as if everyone is expecting something terrible to occur at any moment, this has been the state of the realm ever since the current health of the Duke was leaked to the people of Estralia, while he has managed to maintain the realm stable through his wise and balanced rule, the moment he dies, which according to most doctors will happen in around 1 month if not less, the destiny of the duchy will be up to fate, on every park and street you can see a rally to gather votes for the future elections, whenever they may start, while wealthy nobles from each of the houses participating as candidates go into the shadowy corners of the nation to gain influence in the depths of Estralia, while chaos is unfolding on the streets the Duke is bedridden, his ventures have caught up to him as he is suffering from a deadly disease that is yet to be diagnosed by any doctors, all attempts to cure it have failed and all hope to keep him on the throne for a while longer have not achieved any success, while for a long time his health was kept secret, one of his men betrayed him after being bribed by one of the houses, which one bribed the doctor is still something the estralian police is investigating, in his deathbed, in the dawn of the 24th day of january, the Duke gave a small handbook to his son, the man ruling in his stead while he is bedridden, the book contained the last reforms he wished to start before the end of his rule, as he handed the book to his son, his last words were ushered:

"You are my successor, my heir, my blood, do your best to gain public support, and when you do, please complete your old man's last wish. May the future be bright and rich for the citizens of Estrali-..."

And so he closed his eyes for the last time, in a panic his old allies decided to hide his death from the public for at least a month to gain public support, however the Teinarian guard would quickly discover their plot, all the participants in hiding the death of the Duke would be executed, however, his son was allowed to live, as he was the only living candidate capable of running for his house, soon the news would reach the capital, from there the rest of the realm would discover the death of the Duke, and soon news would arrive to the rest of the continent, a 1 month period would begin to mourn the death of the kind ruler, most of which would be used by the houses to either buy votes from the few literate farmers in the edge of the realm or to advertise their house to the wealthy men of the capital, in the end of the 1 month period they held around the same amount of public support, soon the voting would begin to decide on who would rule the Duchy for the next generation, men flood to the capital to vote for their favorite party while all the other men and women not qualified to participate in the vote hold their breaths in anticipation, this vote will decide the future of the Duchy and its place in the modern world.

Operation Blitz comes to a halt and the Canal

Reports from the frontlines in the west have stated a complete halt in any progress as the militiamen attempt to fight their way through the endless hordes of horrors from the region. The most resistance seems to come towards the center, as its guessed they are actually defending something from the militiamen. Although it is seemingly impossible to reach the location at the current moment, any Militiamen who aren't currently being used to defend other lines have been sent to the center in hopes of eventually breaking through.

It's also reported that a new Eldritch creature has been spotted. It is reported to be about 20 ft (~6 meters) tall and stands at around 10 feet wide (~3 meters). It seems to have elongated arms to reach the ground and legs tall enough to make the readout of reach of grabbing, however, its body and head seem to be completely covered in what is assumed to be hair. It has been noted the head of the creature can rotate 360 degrees without killing it, just like an owl. It seems to be immune to all forms of attacks from Militiamen and seems to be located towards the center. Fortunately, the Government predicts there is only 1 of these creatures.

In other news, as Nator has also announced, in a joint project Ravennoor has built a canal through the country, connecting the southern lake and the sea to the north. It is expected that this will allow the Militia Navies to navigate more effectively through the world, and also introduce a new source of money and economic prosperity for many nations. While the Canal has received massive criticisms from some members of the council, the canal has finally been complete, and their critics are null and void.

Guided by meticulous blueprints, the Grand Library emerges as more than just a structure; it embodies our nation's dedication to education. Scholars eagerly anticipate its completion, envisioning shelves adorned with the wisdom of ages. As weeks pass and anticipation mounts, the library becomes a symbol of our commitment to the pursuit of knowledge.

Upon its completion, the Grand Library will not only stand as a testament to our ingenuity but also as a legacy for future generations. It will inspire minds, beckoning scholars and seekers from afar to explore its halls and unlock the treasures of human thought.

Outskirts of the Aralian Capital, 11:17 AM

Lord Daern hustled to meet the duo of Aralians who'd begun to approach their lines. He'd noticed the relatively small escort they'd brought and had thus shooed his guards away when they fell in behind them. It was important to make a good first impression. The smells of Taenarian delicacies such as sweet shrewbread and savory hotroot soup filled the air. Daern idly wondered if the surface dwellers would even like the food provided to them but then pushed it aside. "Everybody likes bread", he muttered to himself.

Finally reaching the two awkward diplomats, Daern stopped his jog and skidded to a halt in front of them. He flung out his arms in welcome and bared his teeth in some visceral attempt at a smile. He gestured to the tables and prepared feast then began to speak in a mixture of gutteral grunts and high pitched squeeks, "Oz ukaar karrimar! Tha yol Thrumm Daern eron Kazamar Daern. Rulrumm eron burh draka nar e willuroz partnrumm ruk othok!" [spoiler=Translation]"Hello dear friends! I am Lord Daern of Clan Daern. Ruler of Burh Draka and hopefully a new friend to you!".[/spoiler]

He clapped his might paws together, beckoned the diplomats follow, and then scurried towards the head table. The strangest diplomatic summit on the continent had begun.

The Beggining

The County of Grandos has assembled it's local militia and stationed them on the northern border with Erebos, setting up an encampment on several checkpoints alongside the border that is constantly patrolled. Countess Keti Xenatou has said this action is part of the County's efforts to support any slaves that may wish to flee Erebos into Dionysia, the Militia has recourses, such as clothing, one hundred drachmas, rations and water, that are offered to any who come to Dionysia seeking a new life, and if they wish they will be escorted to the nearest Dionysian town from the border checkpoint. Additionally the Militia has orders to fire at anyone attempting to hunt down escaped slaves, even if on the opposite side of the border. A proposal was made to the parliament of the Grand County of Hellenos to order Grandos to move their militia off the border, but this motion was not only voted down but also denounced by Grand Count Giannis Petrallis, who made a decree officially offering aid and support to any anti-slavery groups within Erebos that requests assistance of Hellenos.

New Land, New Hope:

As set out by the coronation speech by the new empress, the Imperial and Eleven Kingdom of Navea had began a series of preparations in the annexing of the southern lands to the gulf. The Carvarasisland, as the territory is called, is especially important due to its heavily concentration of ethnic Navean elves. Many of them were a result of their exile from the former government. Additionally, its bordering to the southern gulf serve as a strategic location for a new naval port for the Navean Southern Liner Fleet, where the current base were becoming increasingly obsolete in harbouring the growing fleet.
