2051 AC

After decades of stillness, the desert city has awoken. Final Frontier stands strong upon the shifting sands. Through the constant expansion and advances achieved at the Desert Facility, they have unlocked a promising future full of opportunity and progress.


✲ With the departure of the former director, Lycoris Aubreen, Eleos has stepped forward to lead the Proto-Institute. They encorage all artificers, alchemists, and scientists to reach out to them. 

✲ Following successful negotiations with Jokul, leader of the giants, Vdalion has begun patrolling the desert and its surrounding areas. This resolution not only ensures the safety of the city but also represents a significant milestone in strengthening the alliance between the two settlements

✲ The Animunculi are on the move, their metallic forms glinting in the sun as they scurry about the city. Whispers of preparations and rumors abound, and some say that a grand festival is in the works.  Maybe something else is brewing in the city.

✲ The city of progress is abuzz with activity as numerous projects are underway. Eleos is encouraging anyone in need of support or funding to come to town, where they might connect with like-minded individuals and find the resources they need to bring their own projects to life.

✲ Amidst the mountains of the desert, a towering structure now stands, its glow visible both day and night.  The Ascended Sanctuary, a beacon of hope in these trying times. Within its walls lies the Sainted Enclave of The Expanse, those curious to learn more about them are encouraged to seek out Alhena Avincus.

The waves on the coast gently touch the rocky cliffside that holds the newly established port town. Once a pipedream, years of business and mountains of coin investment later, welcomes all to a budding and ever changing environment.

Within the expanded port-town, Zemheri and Kostus stand at its head to guide it towards an ambitious future. A father and son duo.

• The Golden Guardians, the guards of Audhild go through shifting rankings. Announcing Galland Silvanas as the commanding officer of all their forces. Along with Xena, as one of their standing captains. A barracks will be in construction as well as a tower for the city states protection.

• The newfound expansion brings with it a new marketplace, Kostus encourages those looking to finance their wallets to seek permits to sell their wares.New facilities are in the works, and are being tested behind the scenes for their potential successes. One being potentially a legal gambling site, and a mestran temple.

• Both Branches of Audhild are currently seeking out workers for multiple jobs. Including Artificers, Writers, Chefs, Researchers, and reagent suppliers.

• With the new expansion, Edhell provides Audhild with a  newly decorated and operational library. Anyone that is interested in books should reach out to the head librarian Nefeli Lorillis For registration to the library, or to publish one's own works.

• The Rose of Audhild, advertises itself as an open door public Tavern for any and all welcome to enjoy.For those wanting a relaxing atmosphere, and to take a step away from the stresses of life. At it’s head, Siwan.The public food tasting ‘Experience Gustavave’ applications are now closed.

• With its new expansion, follows up with another. Construction in the works for a Housing District dubbed, ‘Langley’ where all general housing resides.
  

Amidst the edges of the Shadowlands the turmoil caused by the presence of the Demonic Horde and Legions of the Undead continues as usual. A lot has been happening, from expansions, to even prevented raids..

 
And certainly, much more is to come.

Many a happening had befallen the lands of Fortune. After their recent Name Day Celebration talk of a potential recurring festival has gone about its people. Many feel an annual recurrence was in order, but some feel it’d be easier to manage every few years given Fortune's size. Once this is resolved, the whole of Meranthe could expect a celebration of liquor, meats, and a grand tournament unlike any other.
Fortune has continued to grow. Its lands spread with every waning moon, and now with the fall of Lyonesse? Its people having abandoned those once glorious lands, made in the light of her ‘Majesties’ country. It was all for naught; they would see the place torn down brick by brick; board by board. Lyonesse was no more, the settlement well and truly gone. But this left a void within the southern seas, one that Fortune would be filling. One that they had been longing for, eyeing for so long. Yet now, the island had been dubbed by a new name, the Sapphire Bay was born. A new glorious capital to the nation of Fortune.
The tri-headed council of Fortune has come together. Firstly, after the christening of the Sapphire Bay settling Fortune’s borders was important. Making sure the seas were clear for safe travel, making sure the lands of Meranthe saw them in a brighter light. But most of all, making sure that their nation would prosper for years to come. The Sapphire Bay not only serving as a focal point of the nation but also, a colossal trading hub across all of the southern seas.


⎈ In the advent of their celebration, Fortune has begun fully settling the Sapphire Bay. Erecting many a home, a stall, and a shop. Allowing for greater prosperity than they’d managed before. Especially with the travel between Port Fortune, and Nilhirra no longer barred by Aenite waters.

⎈ Fortune’s growth continues to rise, with every passing day more come to the jewel of the Southern Ocean. And its capital the Sapphire Bay provides a mercantile opportunity they’d not had in the past.  It was an epicenter of trade in Aen’s day, now Fortune would take a piece of that success.

⎈ The island chain now boasts a collective population of over two thousand. Fortune’s citizenry remains thriving under their banner of freedom. That, and the banner of Vdalion’s empire flown in unison.

⎈ There is rumors going about, that the tournament held during the Name Day Celebration may become an annual activity. But this is still being deliberated by Fortune's leadership. There has also been talk of a sentencing, that a thief would be handled accordingly. Rumor has it that the Ookami known as Rasalas Thatcher will be offered up for a specialized trial. If word holds true? It'll be a spectacle for the ages...

[Progress, Tradition, Vengeance]

Quote:It is through death, that we see the culmination of all great deeds. The reflection of a man's life is the period where he can be most understood. His fleeting existence given it's full purpose by his finality. There is no true experience of life without the threat of death.

What happened to us ten years ago was senseless. A reflection of the state of the surface world. Untamed and unchecked chaos that had spread to our peaceful lives. The time for the simple lives of our ancestors is long gone, and only in it's finality can we reflect, and gain new purpose.

I am your Moonseer, the one who guides your fury. Directs the gaze of my hunters, as Lord Captricon does. Brings glorious end to our lives, filled with swelling purpose. We will not do as the surface dwellers did, we will not kneel and wait for our demise. We will have our vengeance, our great hunt. Nothing will stand in the way of that goal.

Til flagermuskongen.
(Malvesta)
