[spoiler=Final Gathering]
Chapter 40: Final Gathering
In the spirit of the church, the spirit of their people stood proud in the chamber. A cell, devoid of comfort, serving as nothing more than a haven against interference and for the meaningless gossip of power and planning.
Within this hateful sanctuary, the godÂ’s son screamed out secrets of a future yet to come, his voice a strangled chorus of cries rendered toneless and metallic by the speaker grille of his ancient battle helm.
Lost in the same curse, ahead the King took steps forward into the chamber. In the GodÂ’s light, the titans of Gods smirked down upon his muscles for they would lock. In the nights, the blessing of the priest could not turn away the slabs of meat and sinew tensing around his iron-hard bones, leaving him shivering and breathing in harsh rasps, unable to control his own body.
These seizures could last for hours, each beat of his two hearts firing his nerves with agony as the blood hammered through his cramping muscles. In the times he was free from the accursed paralysis, when his reserve heart would slow and grow still once again, he would ease the pain by pounding his skull against the walls of his inner chamber.
This fresh torment was a distraction from the images that burned behind his eyes. But none could tell from that of his crimson veil, a purity to hide the damage that covers his sorrowful eyes. Just as his standard stepped into the light and into his princely throne, the struggles of the priest spoke and roared in debate.
The King smiled behind his veil, it was enough to get them thinking. This wasnÂ’t a war he expected to win in a single night. Slowly, slowly, heÂ’d win them to his side, offering counsel and aiding them in avoiding the bitter fates awaiting them.
‘There was talk,’ Orenel said softly, ‘that…that Rasko died recently. Him and several other leaders of the former estates general. Some of whom were not arrested when news broke of the Queen-Mothers death. How much of this is true, your grace?’
The King didn’t answer. He merely turned to the sister. “Does it matter?’ One of the brothers from the upper pear stood. He let out a snort as some followed with a grim chuckle. ‘Why should we believe this thin-blooded wretch? You are an infant, standing in the shadows of gods.”
‘You do not have to believe what I say.’ Orenel smiled at the fellow. “It makes no difference to me, or to my kindred.”
“But the King must speak…”
The veil brushed to his temples. The veins in his skin canals bellow as if they were bold enough to form a clear map of the subterranean biology at play beneath his face. Here was a fallen prince, gone to the grave, hollowed out by a hatred so strong, yet. He could not lie down and die.
“This country needs a hand upon its shoulder, for it has already ripened and in its cracks it begins to spoil. Soon, it will burst, spilling itself across the stars.: The young King lowered his head slightly, fingernails scraping along the ivory armrests.
“For years, you have butchered to your hearts’ content, all of you. Including you Orenel. You were sent by my mother, my queen, my…flesh…to distant lands as this court collapsed back into anarchy subdued by the goals of fortune and progress.
“They spread.”
“They will only grow worse. It is the way of things. Human life taints everything it touches, if it spreads uncontrolled. Our sons and daughters are no exception. In truth, they are among the worst for such things. Disorder rides in their blood.”
Here he smiled. “All of you born, how righteous you feel means nothing to me. How beautiful it is that your naive thoughts make no difference to me. My thoughts are flames this eve and so with that..I have come to this court to speak one truth…”
In his words, his hand gripped his throat. Another scratched along the scar running along his skin. His teeth, jagged and sharp, bit down onto one another in some way to process a stunning growl of pain that the council before him bore first witness.
Alek gestured to two servants standing behind his throne. Both approached in unison, raising their arms with a reverent lack of haste. Like armorers of old, squires kneeling before a knight, they offered their service to their master.
Alek rose in kind, one of the servants gripping his arm to help the king stand.
“I am your god now…”

Onwards to Turtle Bay
Written by General Ikailo
Hello. We are just about to depart from Kēnāpola and go to Turtle Bay. I hope we can reclaim Turtle Bay and keep the Spokanite forces out. We may have lost the battle, but we sure have not lost the war. May Kiowe guide us for our upcoming battle.

[spoiler=The First Moth Story]
Chapter 41: The First Moth Story
“Before man, I forget myself.
Our sin and our virtue are what build us. In sleepless nights, insanity flourishes. When the grain is cut, we shape the earth. Those stocks of grain drown in drops of blood. Yes, even the heads themselves are full of blood, baptized in manÂ’s greatest achievement. War.
I would not recoil it, for it is the cause of all men. Protection, regardless of its great loss to the achievements man puts forth, is the primal urge which sets men from wailing distress to a duty of impossibility. Under threat, we dwell into that urge. We make ourselves what we reject. A repulsive thought.
We try to hide our nature, we dance around it, and yet, it is apart of us. In times of great stress, we relish in the opportunity of our hidden character. We are sorrow. We are conviction. Family becomes refugees. Love becomes loss. Man rises above it all only to hide it once again behind the veil of greater civilization.
The many sleepless nights are each derived from the being of man. Our voice lingers into our mind. Cases of law are brokered between our desire and our need. Our truth is created in our mind. Allusion is seen in all that is explicit. The answers hide within us. It is an art of manÂ’s vision to see himself where there is none.
Who can contain that influence of man? For if man is inherently good, no wrong can come, yet we know better than to trust the false. Restitution for a bygone sin.
Original or subjugated, they are as human as our very soul.
Sinful nature does not exist. In nature, the most basic form of man is that of purity. Pure life unfolded. In our hands, we took what was given and gave it manÂ’s vision. We have diverted so much of our time, our effort, and our love to seeking which is out of reach.
We have forgotten our being. The mere essence of our lives lingers to that of the guards who divide and tear us apart. The legacy of man.
The symbol of the sky was believed in the fire. Our shredded blood roared inside us, a strength. Alight, we are afraid of the dark. For in the GodÂ’s eye, He reaped upon us. We were nearly lost, surrounded by voices of malicious intent. We were whipped into our submission.
Their joy became our rain of life.
Forever.
No one called our name. That silence grows louder, an echoing voice. Man cannot accept it. Man shall not. It is the silence we dread, for it is not we who relish in it. They condemn any voice, any meaning, any purpose. A misery spread for man grew hungry and only His voice could appease their appetite.
We cannot flee from it. Those who ran away could not see Them stand. Their words brought shelter in this distant world. A thunder eroded disrespect and yet, we stood fast. We were beleaguered in the end. They treasured their abuse.
The eyes watch us. Inside they speak horrid truths and instill thoughts of loneliness, hatred, and vile intent. You are a true serf, locked forever enslaved to those thoughts. Is that free will? For you to only want and be forced to survive by pressure?
That was not the fate of man, it was a chain placed upon ourselves to contain the purest form of man, the true self.
In its place, man has created a world of entangled connection. For man sought to unite and empower himself. First we formed our tools of stone. We turned the beast into friend and in our might, brought Their creations into the hands of the affluent and noble. That imagination was the damning nail of mankind. For in Their ire, they created false stories. False hopes that man became attached.
They are all false.
Deep in the dark, during that first age of man, we heard the fire flicker. It was beautiful. From the birth of our kind, it had vanished. Subdued by His will and brought to its knees. Without guiding light, a tamed beast was no different to that of man. For the will of man, as much as we hate to admit, is not that much more superior than mere hound or vermin.
In our hate, we are but human. In our desire, we are but human. Man prides itself on being better than beast, yet they do not sin.
That is the whine of man. An engulfed pride we chose to ignore. That, despite our affection for Him, He will never return our love. That is the story of man, for the first age to the current. Yet, we are flamed kisses.
His ire wrought the war which engulfed all who stood. For young men had traveled so far, their blood painted His fields and their voices sung to His good health. They wore their crimson plate and stood by the one who would not rejoice in their deeds. The steps of man ignited the cursed mark across His domain.
A part of our nature revels in that fact. We were cursed, yet He refused to cast us. When we close our eyes, we take a leap of faith. One day could be our last. That was fact in our purity.
When we first walked, the desecration was forgotten. Each cycle of rise was met with fall, as our achievements became cinder. Despite Her gaze on our lush ignorance, we continued. Such a gentle suggestion by Her end, created what man is today; a creature of reason.
How laughable that could be called.
That is the thought of God which resides in our mind. From mere beast we are divided. We hunger for basic instinct, yet we become scholars of the highest degree. Two souls of intellect reside in our heart, in our soul. In some way, these conflict with the unique and the supreme self.
We desire beyond all limits set before us. Not even the nature we came from our terrible fear of the unknown. They travel beyond places we could see. Out of the dark we came, from natureÂ’s embrace we stood before its majestic beauty and asked the questions no one asked before.
A part of our nature became blind to the truth, that the unknown had more answers than we could accept. Thus, we gave them a name, such as what happened and will happen as long as human nature remains the same.
The wind came alive. It rattled the trees as it spoke like a voice. The shifting tide of the sea became a dance along with a gift of fertility to early man. The cycle of day and night was a hunt of great beasts who chased each other through the void. ManÂ’s own essence became shards. Each piece became the world in which we lived. For that, it became an understanding in the status of the natural world.
When Magnus revealed to them the earth, it was paradise. The barren world was broken and rebuilt. A prize worthy of the First who came. Order touched that eternal flame. In His decay, the earth splintered into rebirth. For His blood became the sea, His bones the rock we stand, and His voice became the calling of all who stood in His image.
We told these stories for generation to generation. We never experienced it, if we had, it was lost in time or rotted into tales of splendor and glory. That was His prize. No one could forget His legacy. Twisted His words became and we obeyed.
We could not stay away. Despite all He represents, all the suffering we endure caused by our own wills, we crawl to Him.
Stories were told and crafted to explain His wonders. The wonders of His domain were that of mystical bliss, a nature of reason had to be formed for each tale and expanse. His institutions creaked as we awaited Him.
It became a chain from the desperate needs of many. We decided to kneel and to take answers. They bound many of us and crushed the world so our feeble mind could understand it. The events before and after, provided us with all we knew. In the face of horrors, we asked questions and hid true answers. We found a way through that Night as they lingered in our mind.
That was the study of life. We imposed that onto it. Such was manÂ’s order in the chaos of nature. Our study became the focus of all faiths. An understanding of this world. In the end, man tried to achieve much. Man, despite all he tried, could only glimpse of what was ahead. He tried to watch and see it through the mind of a God.
How romantic we are as flawed keepers of the flame. In our own pursuit, we created burden. The individual saw his splendor and gave it meaning, as if he was the architect. We are always awaiting him.
Of all things that exist, the human mind is the most complex. When we understand it for a moment, it is merely simplistic truths.
The mind generates its power. That cannot be measured, for it cannot be enclosed. It is the first cause of man. A limitless necessity that alone created self-sufficient truth. Our mind, in all its wonder, searches for truth. That is its ultimate aim. That is why the human mind is so painful.
It is a beginning without a beginning. An endless end that guides me, you, and us all. It is the first cause. The cause that man centered his universe around. With no limit to its wonder, the human mind becomes painful. To ease this pain, divine power and wisdom separate us.
They act on their own accord, each in command of their own kingdom. A kingdom of wanting truth. They reach their end by any means. A value that is graded in intellect. Though intellect alone is not all man can call upon.
For the mind has many spheres of circumstance.
These spheres, like the heavens, govern man. They shelter us from the unknown. Each is a truth, some show our compassion, others are fallen into the error. This is the definition of individuality. Each sphere commands us. There are key spheres of the human mind.
The inherent needs to breathe. For it hungers and thirst. It is the self we must satisfy to remain true to civilization, or least we try. That is but one sphere which delights us in friendship and belonging. For they have no mixture, no change. They are as one as they are pieces of you.
The domestic is all we learn, all we see. It is the unconscious and unconscious. It is the imprinted nature that we learn. It is value, ethics, and morality birthed not from our own mind, but from our experience and the experiences of those we come into contact with. It speaks a truth others made. It speaks the truth you see. It becomes as real as the air you breath. It creates quirks, habits, and traits.
And finally, the last is that God mind.
So is the capacity of life. The human mind shall instill itself, regardless of the truth, onto things which is not man. We are so easy to recant that. If we claim it is our own creation, can we still believe it?
That is the mechanism of belief. From our mind we interpret the world, it creates belief. These spheres create a single reality for us to see, one they interpret so differently from each other.
Our interpretation is that of the God Mind. It is understanding, it is reason, it is who we are. What we take as divine reality, is merely just human reality. God is, then, and was what we want it to be. If the wind blew, it was the voice of God. If the seas roared, it was His anger. A God is a projection of one or more aspects of our own natural character.
We make up a purpose to live by.
It is an explanation. For that is what God is.
He is a construction, an object of our belief. The understanding of deities is the understanding of life. It has given us power in understanding the natural world, for it provides good reasons.
All divine nature is human nature, thus mankind is unconsciously subservient to God. He creates God for his own image. His words become sacred. His eyes, his bones, and his mere flesh are that of ourselves. We imprint onto God what we desire and we see His message across the world.
We find our lives sacred.
Every stock we hold, everything we represent, becomes more of what they truly are. It is a creator who gave it to us. It gave meaning to our lives. Without a higher being, a higher being, we have no purpose.
We create this lens to protect nature from human contempt. For he will adapt the circumstances to his will. We become masters of our truths, for the benefit of the world. It is the state of nature, the state of nature that we have created.
Thus we give God a name. We give Him credence and power over us, despite being the ones who birthed Him. That is why a God cannot stand before man to his equal.
If He was equal to man, we would see so much fault.
That cannot be if He is ourselves, for we are pure.
We are amazed.
Each action we hold.
After all, we are merely human.“

Neues Konstantinopel, Tussia
Emperor Anton was woken up by one of his guards late in the night. The guard informed him that Patriarch Stefan needed to urgently meet with the Emperor, so Anton put on decent clothes and left the Palace for the Cathedral of Saint Daniel. Anton drove with two of his guards. They went through the main gate and Anton got out, heading into the Cathedral.
“Let us discuss in private,” Anton said to his guards who then waited inside.
Anton did the sign of the cross as he entered before venerating the icons of Mary and Jesus. The Patriarch was waiting for Anton next to the altar. Anton went up to the Patriarch, did a small bow, and kissed the PatriarchÂ’s ring.
“Why did you request my presence?” Anton asked the Patriarch.
The Patriarch sighed and looked stressed, “I was woken up in my sleep after receiving a vision from God.”
“A vision? What was it about?” Anton asked, now feeling anxious.
“Come and sit down, it would probably be best,” the Patriarch replied, leading Anton to his office so they could sit, “have some tea too, if you so wish. It is late, after all.” The Patriarch poured tea from a kettle into two cups and slid one cup towards Anton.
“Thank you, Patriarch,” Anton replied, “so, the vision?”
“Right, right, sorry,” the Patriarch cleared his throat after taking a sip of the tea, “so, the vision was quite troubling. I have yet to fully interpret the vision, so take what I say as you will. I could be wrong, as I am simply a man. In the vision, I first saw many animals. There were twelve sheep, three eagles, and two bears with their cubs with one bear standing in the north and the other in the south. The twelve sheep were divided amongst each other and bickering, with the eagles standing together and the cubs of the bears being confused, running between the two and not knowing which bear was their mother. The three eagles went towards the bear that stood in the north, with two of the sheep going to the bear that stood in the south and the rest following the bear in the north. The bear in the south decided that, instead of capitulating to the greater power it would stand and fight. There was much bloodshed and confusion amongst the cubs, eagles, and sheep, and in the end only one bear stood with very little left; the northern bear. The landscape was utterly destroyed and riddled with bodies of various bear cubs, eagles, and sheep. The trees were all dead, no vegetation left. Then, I had a vision of an alternative outcome. When the northern bear made his demands, the southern bear instead gave the northern bear half of what he had demanded; which appeased the northern bear, who went to hibernate as the eagles, sheep, and cubs went to the southern bear. The northern bear eventually woke up and made more demands, but no one would stand with him. The northern bear was quickly destroyed, with the southern bear keeping his kingdom with little bloodshed.”
Anton was clearly distressed, “what does this mean?”
“The vision is of your future. You are the southern bear; many will turn against you in the time to come and you will be powerless. This gives you the option of compromise or to fight; and, as the vision gave me two results, the best result is to compromise. When you compromise, Tussia will stand united once again with little bloodshed, you will retain most of your power, and many will be spared.”
Anton sighed, “well, this is not what I wanted to hear. Thank you, Patriarch, do you mind if I stay here and pray?”
“Anyone is welcome to pray here Anton, you should know this.” The Patriarch replied before standing up, “now, if you don’t mind, I myself am going to sleep.”

The Shipping Plot - Stand-Off
9/23/2022
Spiros, Gilad, Narkisos, and about four others sat around a table playing cards. It has been a couple weeks since their attack and the paranoia they had was still there but to a lesser extent. The men sat around until, suddenly, one of their friends who was going for a bike ride ran into the house.
“The police are coming! They have armored vans and are heavily armed!”
Spiros was surprised before acknowledging what he was just told, “how many are there?”
“They have roadblocks blocking every entrance to the block and I think there are at least twenty heavily armed officers.”
“Shoot, grab the guns and board up the doors!” Spiros yelled as the others quickly went and grabbed guns out of their basement stash, using chairs and tables to block the two main doors.
As the men quickly barricaded themselves in, out on the street two armored vans and more police cars pulled up. Tussian National Police (TNP) and TSOC special weapons teams quickly jumped out of the car and set up their positions. A team of five officers began to go to the door before suddenly a shot was fired. No one yet knows who fired, but quickly a gunfight broke out with automatic weapons firing from both inside the building and from the police officers.
Valentinius was driving towards his friendÂ’s house when suddenly he hit a roadblock with multiple police officers. He reluctantly drove up and rolled down his window.
One of the officers walked up to his window, “Sorry, sir, the area is blocked off. There are reports of fugitives within the area.”
“Fugitives? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well, I assume you’ve heard about the bombing of the ship a few weeks ago, no?”
Valentinius immediately knew what had happened, “yes, I did. You’ve caught them?”
“Yes, we have the address they are in, but we do know there’s one more unaccounted for.”
Valentinius would nod, “Well I guess I’ll find another way to the grocery store then.”
The officer would nod and wave him off.

End of the Biggonian Caliphate
On 25th September, 4 days ago, Josef Khomeini's headquarters was levelled by multiple airstrikes and artillery bombardments. Following several days of ineffectual attacks by Imperial Infantry and armour, it appears that the Empire had enough and ordered massive amounts of firepower to be directed against the fort. Josef himself was believed to be hiding in the bathroom when the entire building came down. After the dust settled and infantry from the Biggonian Empire were once more able to advance, they found no remnant of Josef Khomeini, though several prisoners were able to confirm that the mad Caliph was at last dead.
This news has been a big morale boost for the Biggonian Empire's war effort, which for some time was believed to have been flagging. Although the Biggonian Civil War began with the Caliphate's uprising in the Seltsamia province, by May their prominence in the war had taken a firm back seat as opposed to the conflict between the Commonwealth and Empire, which was ongoing in Grenzland. Nonetheless, it was a huge drain on Imperial manpower and resources, which has now been freed up to face the Commonwealth which is advancing in from the west.
With their leader dead, the Caliphate has completely collapsed. Several warlords have declared themselves as the new Caliph and tried their best to keep the army together, but this has been met with limited success as most units simply surrendered or joined the Biggonian Commonwealth. Although Empress Ricardina is hesitant to ally with religious radicals, it appears that in these desperate times it is necessary to make compromises in order to survive and achieve victory.
Image
In Grenzland, the capital of Shurdorf has at last fallen to the Commonwealth, after a battle which lasted several months. The battle cost both sides huge losses, with many of the most elite units of the Commownealth- these being troops from Reisburg- bearing the brunt. Thanks to an act passed in August, when Reisburg units fall under 35% of their original strength, they are placed under command of the National Liberation Army (NLA) known colloquially as the Commonwealth army. This has increased the power of Empress Ricardina and weakened the power of the Reisburg council. The Fall of Shurdorf has only compounded the loss of morale amongst Grenzland soldiers. Retreat in massive numbers is now commencing, with this panic also spreading to the Biggonian Imperial Army, which although it was able to avoid a rout, is hastily withdrawing from the pocket in Grenzland and regroup in the strategic city of Southbridge. Only the Tussians are being left behind to form a rearguard, but they are thinly spread and are suffering many losses.
The Grenzer palace was captured by Commonwealth troops, but not stormed. Earl Eckehard Grenzer, the last Grenzer to remain in the palace, agreed on terms by which 50 of the Grenzland royal guard are allowed to remain armed and in the palace grounds for protection of the royal household, but they must be under watch of 300 Commonwealth soldiers. The convoy containing both Prince Ivas and Regent Jakob Premmel remains to be found, causing fierce speculation as to what has happened.

Athenia & Ptolemia Unrest
09/29/2022
On the island of Athenia and Ptolemia, unrest had slowly been growing. For over a week there were regular protests against the government in support of the Tussian Republican Army and now the protests were heating up.
The protesters stood in front of the line of Tussian National Police officers dressed in riot gear. The protesters were starting to yell at the police officers who stood their ground; they sang pro-Sturmist songs and chanted chants such as, “Down with the Empire!”, “Hang the king!” and other pro-Republican chants.
By about 7:15 PM the sun began to set as the protesters got more rowdy. They occasionally threw rocks at the riot officers who had slowly begun to walk forward to contain the protest as it was going to be disbanded not too long after sunset either peacefully by force. This was unlikely to happen though as suddenly about fifteen protesters threw handfuls of firecrackers at the riot officers. When the firecrackers went off, the officers began to back up as the protesters hurled rocks and garbage cans at the officers before they charged the line. Tear gas was fired into the lines as officers began to push back with the second line moving to back up the first. A few protesters broke through the lines but officers in the back would quickly swarm whoever got past and tried to arrest them. After about a minute of fighting protesters in the rear lines began to throw molotovs before the riot police finally began to retreat further back; unable to hold back the thousands of protesters.
All across the twin cities protesters began clashing with police with the police beginning to get overwhelmed. The remaining officers had orders to hold the line near the DukeÂ’s Palace. Overall about twelve officers were killed, thirty-four officers injured, and about eighty protesters injured with no reports of deaths.

The DukeÂ’s Palace
09/30/2022
Police officers in riot gear surrounded the DukeÂ’s Palace with water cannon trucks backing up the lines. There were various officers also armed with tear gas launchers and the DukeÂ’s guards were guarding the PalaceÂ’s main walls with rifles and machine guns. The protesters were still throwing things at the riot officers but the water cannon trucks and tear gas were holding them off. Things were quickly escalating however, as behind the lines Tussian Republican Army militants were preparing for an armed assault on the palace. There were multiple vans and moving trucks with heavily armed militants with various weapons from bolt action rifles to machine guns and even a few RPGs. Helicopters flew overhead as the officers tried to hold the people back.
Suddenly on one side, armored cars and humvees began driving through the crowd with military police officers in riot gear as helicopters landed in the Palace courtyard dropping off Tussian Special Operations Command commandos. Miraculously, the soldiers broke through the crowds and now backed up the crowd with force. Protesters were being pushed back violently with some arrested as the officers shouted at the protesters; profanities being thrown from either side. As they talked though, suddenly the vans of militants began driving through the crowd. The crowd parted and began to run as the men disembarked with an RPG being fired at the main line. A gigantic firefight soon ensued with bullets whizzing through the air, various protesters running for cover. The helicopters flying around opened their doors, firing rifles down on the militants. Chaos ensued as all around the city military and police convoys reinforcing the riot lines were being ambushed as a full-scale rebellion took place.

Oəs croniques- Part 4
The sun was rising, it was finally that day
Commander: Everyone! We must go, our days of laziness must come to an end, we must go and save Spokane!
Soldier 1: HmÂ…. I hoped for this day to never comeÂ… I want to leave
Soldier 2: ItÂ’s what it isÂ… remember, itÂ’s for a good cause, canÂ’t you see the spokanite suffering? We are their saviours
Soldier 1: Are we?
Soldier 2:Â… Just remember iÂ’m here with you
Soldier 1: Thanks god for thatÂ
Commanders: LetÂ’s go! No more idling
3 days passed of the army walking through Spokanite terrain, thankfully, summer was over and it was not as hot. It was still a hard walk, but luckly, they hadnÂ’t encountered anyone yet
It was another sunrise, Both soldiers were happy to see that, they hadnÂ’t died yet and they didnÂ’t encounter anyoneÂ… yet
Commander: Soldiers! We are resuming our march to liberate Spokane! DonÂ’t slack off, we have work to do!

Chapter 42: The Second Moth Story
The sister listened at her masterÂ’s door, counting the minutes.
Behind the reinforced dark metal portal, the masterÂ’s cries had roared. Ornel was human, with the limited senses such a state entailed, but with her curiosity grew the better of her. With the sounds echoing throughout the palace grounds, her ear pressed to the door, she could make out the breathing. It was a sawing sound, ragged and harsh, filtered into a metallic growl.
And still, even as her mind wandered to other thoughts, for each second passed and she kept counting the seconds as they became minutes. It was easy, but yet at this time, the door opened. This came in the light of nearly an hour of this ordeal. An ordeal she assumed was managed pain or the torture of others, but not the young KingÂ’s own torment.
A torment gifted to demigods to hinder their power. For the King staggered into his desk, his shoulder leaning against it as his body hung up on two feet in a way it seemed artificial. For his muscles were like cables, each one on fire around molten bones, but the pain wasnÂ’t the worst
part.
As Ornel slowly opened the door wider for her view, the LordÂ’s movements seized.
Alek shivered once, his joints snarling at the shaking movement. As if they were magnetic, each of his finger tips clasped to his skull. Each tooth in his mouth dropped against one another, gritting back and forth. The sound clattered like rustic grinding echoes of steel.
“Alek…?” Ornel asked.
Alek’s head jerked once, as if his heart had sent an electrical pulse through his spine, and he crashed to the ground in a fit of pain. “They are…all the same….” Alek coughed as hs fingers dug into the fabric of his skin.
“The god-machines of marta…” he murmured. “They have killed the sun.”
And with his voice he started screaming.
Again.
For as blessings of the GodÂ’s go, this was none. For his body would not die, yet his muscles would lock, slabs of meat pulsing and firing into his nerves again and again with pain. Even in his chamber, the musical pulsing of his body trapped him in a cell, devoid of comfort, serving as nothing more than a haven against interference.
Ornel tried to speak once more, but she could not. The lord before her suffered in a nightmare plagued by Gods and with that, her sweaty hands gripped hold of him. Alek dared try to speak, but his throat and his hands trembled in order for him to regain any sense of himself.
“This nightmare will go…” Ornel said softly as her hands held Alek’s head to her chest, providing comfort as the young king was gripped in frailty. In the times he was free from the accursed paralysis, when his heart would slow and grow still once again, he would often ease the pain by pounding his skull against the walls of this cell.
“Down in the roots she slumber…I am torn asunder” His teeth managed to speak out
This fresh torment was a distraction from the images that burned behind his eyes. It sometimes worked, but never for long.
But in this moment, the pistons of his heart eased without torment from another affliction.
‘Never a god…but I..I….’ Alek said gently.
His voice shook the air around the two before he went silent, his body giving out in exhaustion.

The Athenia & Ptolemia Insurrection
10/2/2022 Update
The city night was far from quiet. Explosions and gunfire were heard all throughout the night with civilians fleeing left and right, trying to find shelter. Planes and helicopters flew around though helicopters were patrolling less frequently due to the risk of RPGs. Currently, most of the city was contested with police officers and soldiers constantly skirmishing with Tussian Republican forces. The TRA had seized most of the very sparsely populated southern part of the island and part of the city center being seized; including the DukeÂ’s Palace, which was under siege with Tussian Special Operations Command commandos holding out as well as various soldiers and officers.
In charge of the DukeÂ’s Palace garrison were Captain Andre Kiefer of the 8th TSOC Anti-Terror Detachment and Commander Achilleas Katsaros of the Athenia and Ptolemia Garrison of the Tussian Imperial Army.
The commanders of the Tussian Republican Army insurrectionists were Pavlos Michelakakis, the leader of the Sturmist branch of the TRA, and David Manz who was an avid anarchist. They were both currently on the island, although the Tussian government has yet to find that out.
The city wasn’t all under fire though; parts of it were solidly under the control of the Tussian government with evacuation efforts underway for the civilians as well as humanitarian aid with some parts, primarily the outer rural area, under fairly solid TRA control. The experience of the citizens there, though, largely differed. In parts largely patrolled by Pavlos’s supporters were largely untouched with his militants focused on policing and preventing looting; occasionally handing out candies and rations to the civilians; but where Manz’s supporters were, there were frequent executions of those deemed to be “counter-revolutionaries” and the soldiers themselves were looting. When civilian looters were found or police officers, even if they were sympathetic to the TRA, they were shot without warning. Manz himself was even occasionally spotted publicly executing government soldiers and officials.

Jakob Premmel found
In the early hours of this morning, a small convoy arrived at a Biggonian Imperial outpost near to Southbridge. It was later discovered that this convoy was carrying Jakob Premmel, regent of Biggonia. He has been safely transported to Ivasburg, where he made a televised address and announced that Grenzland is not yet beaten, and rather that it will continue to fight alongside it's allies in the Biggonian Empire. This comes as a great relief for the Biggonian Empire, but the fact that Prince Ivas was not with him raises even more questions. Jakob Premmel says that he was in a separate car and that they must have been separated in a rainstorm.
Despite the Regent's assurances to the contrary, the Imperial situation in Grenzland remains dire. The army continues it's massed retreat, with Tussian forces continuing to fight as a rearguard despite grievous losses. A limited counterattack by Imperial troops near to the main path of escape has allowed more breathing room for the retreat, but the future of a large portion of the Grenzland and Imperial Army still hangs in the balance.
The Biggonian Commonwealth is also suffering some difficulties. The speed of their advance ever since capturing Shurdorf has led to their army becoming overstretched, with the problem already being demonstrated by numerous counterattacks achieving varying levels of success against the Commonwealth's advancing forces. In the south, the military revolt appears to be running out of steam. Despite still holding large portions of territory, they have been pushed away from Palmedorf. With Commonwealth forces stretched as they are, there are doubts about whether they will be able to consolidate their gains. However, Empress Ricardina remains confident that they will still be able to take the vitally significant city of Southbridge before the end of the month.

The king of Lathe Firand under fire for Civil rights violations.
Since Ascending to his throne two months ago. The young King as done his best to stamp out any and all political opponents while he has cracked down brutally on protests against him and his policies. The king has cracked down on civil rights for immigrants not granting them full citizenship. The execution of several of his political opponents in the kingdom has shocked the nation with several of them being human rights activists. Several members of the kingdoms government have called for an impeachment of the kings power and for a suspension of the monarchy till either the young king can be brought down or till a successor is found. In response the king and his top generals have ordered 6 thousand troops to guard the Capital city.

Hello, I am new to this region and was wondering how I can get my region on the map?
Tesdai, Biggonian Megaist Empire, Chocolatistan
Good question! To get a position on the map you first need to be a shareholder. To become a shareholder you need to be in the world assembly (you can do this by going to the World assembly tab, and then clicking Join world assembly, you will need a registered email to do this.) After that you can apply for the status by taking to The Tribia. After that you can talk to Hooseria Magna about where you want your nation to be on the map.

King if Lathe Firand suspends elections and the cabinet in unprecedented move
The king has in a tyrannical move ended all elections within the kingdom and has begun handing out positions to either his supporters or those who hold similar ideals to his. In response to this rioters took to the streets in protest calling for the young King to be removed from power. The protests were broken up by the 1st battalion shock troops and riot police with use of tear gas and non lethal weaponry leaving hundreds injured. Protests across the kingdom were met with similar results. The king is expected to give a speech on the events that have happened in the past week.
