Year 2063 AC


Drastic changes have taken place in what was once known as The Deep hold, the recent death of the previous monarch had an impact beyond what the eyes could see. With the throne left empty and a pedestal needing to be filled, The Wyrm now risen to the rank of Archon would assume the position left void. Working in tandem with those that were present from the very beginning, concord would need to be brought forth once more with those considered allies and a state of rebuilding was without doubt needed. There was much work to be done and constantly would these goals be sought out.

Forged through blood and coin,

Under the rule of the new Archon Grisha, Skarnfel would be born.

The newly appointed Strategus, Na'ria would act as a catalyst of knowledge and power for those younger of the demon kin to look to for guidance. Concord would continue to be upheld with The Lord of time Xarxes.  

The mind eater, Talguth  would continue their works alongside the newly appointed Archon and Strategus, plans were yet to be revealed as the rebuilding of a nation took place.

• The rock beneath Deep Hold's castle has grown insubstantial, hazy, absent, but despite the anomalous behavior of the terrain spreading from the emergent Realm below its blackened stone, the castle remains suspended above the thin layer of soil beneath it. Soon, it may be entirely disconnected from Reality itself, although the strange properties shown thus far leads one to predict that the castle itself will maintain its stability even with the absence of its foundation.
  

• The Obelisk of the End was made in a single night by the now-owldrake and Strategus Na’Ria, with the purpose of furthering the reach of  Skarnfel and drawing the wayward hordes back towards the Shadowlands. Aiming to set it higher above even Grimjhall, where it sits at its foot, demons and allies of the horde alike are encouraged to relocate, settle, and develop within it, to further reinforce the victory during Ragnarok- that Vdalion was no more, and there was no hope in reclaiming the mountain.
  

• In more recent months since the Obelisk's rise, the flow of time has seemed disturbed by the presence of something inhabiting its island. Scouts report noticing a figure constantly coming to and from the tower, not the Owldrake itself, but a small humanoid constantly toiling away at its grounds and tending to visitor and assailant alike. The Obelisk at the End had found a new attendant, and Na'Ria, seemingly a new loyal servant.
  

• The Archon themselves remains open for audience of those seeking concordance.  A path given to visitors who would approach in seeking such. After attempts to contact the lord of Sin themselves, Lyseroth and being given little to no response- The once well kept ties of those between The Grand Guignol and the newfound Skarnfel remained in the balance. Nearly severed in it's entirety.
  

2063 AC

---

• Power continues to accumulate within Gluttony's Maw through Jormungandr's Stomach, the rate of which having rapidly increased with the establishment of Sheol and the trees nearby.
  
  
• A central Runeoak tree has be established within the castle itself, dubbed to be the Sheol's Tree. Scarlet crystals that are easily mistaken as lapis philosophorum can now be seen being carted outside of the Gluttony's Maw, to be used as unique power sources within Sheol itself.
  
  
• With newly established and clearly defined borders, the Grand Guignol and its territory now presents a stricter stance. Visitors and foreign dignitaries may still come if invited, advised first to pen a letter and reach out with their intentions.
  
  
• In other news, a sabbath has been rumored to be planned in the future. Though the when remains largely tenuous, likely will it be held around the Sheol's Tree to take advantage of the tree's conductive properties to hel energies.
  
  
• Despite attempts of diplomacy, Grand Guignol remains otherwise silent towards Deep Hold, now known as Skarnfel. A widely believed rumor within Grand Guignol is that the castle's lord has stated several lines complaining about the new name that started with back in my days. The current known stance is that of neutrality.
  

A few years after the destruction of the Langley district Audhild seems to be making a healthy recovery, with more citizens arriving and a lot more people trying out to become one of their guards. The factories and workshops within the city continue to work as hard as ever, aiding people with housing and some of their other needs.

Members of Audhild's military have been seen aiding the other nations with many battles that have come to pass.

Quote:

"Audhild isn't going to be as quiet as it once was, not while I'm in charge. Things are going to get more lively around here."

- Gallade Silvanas

• Gallade Silvanas is extending his assistance, along with a few guards willing to risk their lives, to combat any forces associated with the Fel. He encourages those planning to confront these forces to reach out to him for collaboration. Additionally, individuals seeking meetings or discussions pertaining to Audhild are advised to contact Gallade, as he will help address their specific needs.
  

• There have been rumors of reformations going on within Audhild's internal structure following Gallade's promotion of two individuals deemed fit enough to help him run things more smoothly. Benjamin Thomson and Ariels Kasca, both given their own responsibilities as well as being given the roles of Head Researcher and Commander of The Guard respectively. They're to be the ones contacted should Galland or Gallade be absent.
  

• Those who wish to join or have any question about Audhild's military are to contact either Gallade or Ariels about their questions if they have any.
  

• Benjamin Thomson should be contacted in regards to any alchemy or artificing needs. Those who wish for Audhild's aid in any projects are also required to contact him as well.
  

• Free weapons and gear, provided by Benjamin will be given to those who're willing to join the guard.
  

Quote:While I am not nearly as present in Auldhild as my brothers, I am just as aware to the ongoings of it as they are. And I do not forget those that have caused it and its people harm. And for those I hear that seek its destruction still, I ask you this: Does burning a city that has done you no harm beyond self defense make you just, or arguably worse than those of the Maw and those that support them.

For those who seek alliances, know that Betrayal in my book makes you worse then those who practice Fel arts. Do not make that mistake.

Year 2067 AC

• The keep of Skarnfel has taken up a bit more of the qualities of Unreality, hovering ominously yet slightly over the earth which it was built upon. No doubt, this was a design of the Mind Eater's make; an exertion of the not-demon's true power had started to seep into Reality, distorting the dimension in which it remained.
  

• The Obelisk of the End has seen vastly increased traffic since it has been emblazoned with the crest of Skarnfel, attracting scholars, fel warriors, and demons alike. Those that seek knowledge and strength from the Demon of Knowledge are encouraged to do so, even if they are not allied with the demonic horde. Many young kindred were cared for by the Owldrake, and many more were advised by it. Perhaps an odd display of Na'Ria's kindness, in taking in so many and teaching what it wished, but all roads lead to war, invariably, due to their heritage and nature- though something belied the surface.
  

• With the defense of the Crimson Keep, a formal declaration of an alliance has been struck between it and Skarnfel, between the Crimson Queen and the Strategus. The Obelisk of the End remains as a garrison for their shared troops, and a formal declaration of their shared territory. A claim of empty lands has been pushed forward; the demonic forces can be most often seen encircling the foot of the ruined Grimjhall, and traveling up into Vdalion's corpse.
  

• The Archon's silence is noted as exceedingly strange, but the Strategus has stepped into a more direct means of leading the horde of demons and fel warriors. Perhaps a bit more melancholic than usual, the Shadowlands are momentarily freed from the clutches of the Wyrm, though it appears the Owldrake has taken up a de jure position of leadership in her absence. 
  

Year 2067 AC

• With Archon Grisha's silence Queen Fallon and the OwlDrake laid down their allegiance with each other. Tightening their forces with one another. Their shared military was the main force. However there was word of another military presence being built within this.
  
• The Queen was building a council within the keep. If there would be any takers they would need to come speak with Fallon As she was planning on an expansion sooner than later on the lands around the Keep. If there is a wish to aid, This is the time to step forward and show your allegiance.
  "It is time we Expand out word. Show the world who we truly are. Show them why they fear us so."-Fallon
  

Year 2067 AC

• The company of Mistral Vidar and the Melodian Sanctuary can be seen coming and going amidst the commotion, preparing to relocate their Sanctuary onto the site. The move brings promises of additional aid to the cities' renewal effort.
  
  
• There's news of a statue being constructed for Pylea to provide representation. The initiative is led by a Palade Avinicus, planting a beacon of their faith for refugees and followers of the faith.
  
  
• The Old Fairy Grove is being tended once more, slowly shining with its rainbow colors and calming the nearby spirits with its presence. Fairies may be seen wandering the location in the near future.
  
  
• The sewers are being purged and expanded so that their terrible aromas no longer suffuse the land. Additional talks of expansion float around, prompting even the razuka inhabitants to mirth and cheer.
