1863 A.C.

Quote:

'It was all but inevitable.'

• Following a deadly encounter between the former Don of the Docro Family, Alexei, and his son, the former King of Asphodel, Seth Vanrogue that ended with the death of Seth, diplomatic talks opened once more between Family and Asphodel, negotiations that had been in the works for some years.
  

• A powerful elder, and founder of Asphodel by the name of Marjorie proclaimed herself Empress. Terms were set and an honor duel between the newly minted Empress and Illythia pyr Docro ended with the former mireling the victor, and her resultant crowning as Queen of Asphodel. A good working relationship was established in the aftermath, with the elder swearing herself as an advisor, and retaining her title as Viscountess.
  

• A relaxed moment of peace and prosperity falls over the darkened skies of Asphodel in the following nights. An injection of economic affluence from the Docro Family has seen an increase in infrastructure for the once nearly skeletonized Kingdom, new roads, buildings and more constructed with every passing day, and a massive influx of people from neighboring villages, either out of fear or lust for power. The Docro Manse has also been moved to its new Kingdom.
  

• Almost immediately, aggressions to wayward travelers whom do not swear their fealty to their liege have increased. If you enter Asphodel, you pay the tithe. Resistance will result in a far greater fine being levied. Exceptions are made exclusively for those wishing to conduct diplomacy, and no others. The purchase and selling of blood has been outlawed wholesale.
  

• All vampiric bloodlines save for those that have promised their loyalty to the Queen, and Asphodel, have been issued a summons. They have a deadline of one year to heed the call, under threat of brutal hunting. Additionally, those who sire without permission will see both themselves and their spawn devoured, their blood reclaimed.
  

• The Apropryira Ravel, a tournament like no other, is also in the works. From within the vaults of the Ashpodelian castle, servants can be seen moving crates and chests containing foreign weapons that have been forged with exotic gems. Planned by Viscountess Marjorie, the approaching Blood Hunt will celebrate the wicked union of the vampire kind under one house.
  

• Following a vision shared among members of the crimson court, plans are made to venture into the Shadowlands in pursuit of ancient, vampiric magic.
  

• Lastly, all Viscounts save for Adrian Ivanovich and Marjorie, have had their titles stripped from them by the Queen for the time being, at the recommendation of Marjorie herself.
  

• Over the course of many years have Tribes people began to leave Moxtli[*] over the tyrant Sibyl Cirque's rule. Many have believed that she was unfit to lead the tribes, and had either abandoned the tribes or tried to live out until she had reached a foreseeable death and/or challenger.
  
  
• The Spirit's Receptacle, one that Sibyl had the Head Shaman Enna create to gather the essence of all living things was made. The Voice had begin to go on hunts with the Teraphim of Moxtli in order to obtain such prized material. Many had become victim to this and it did not stop from that point.
  
  
• Organized with the Docro family, specifically Remilla pyr Docro, was a raid onto Osrona to gather prisoners for an upcoming grand ritual. It was successful on all accounts except for their secondary goals.
  
  
• A public grand ritual was then scheduled and then to be had, in which anyone within Esshar could witness, not long after the raid attempt. The goal was to rematerialize Andromeda from the spirit realm from what the Voice would assume she had become a spirit from sources.
  
  
• The ritual day had come, and many came to bare witness, even Osronan forces came to disrupt the ritual, but ultimately failed. With the power of the Chiron, the Spirit's spectacle, Andromeda's diary, and a donut(?) did they call upon the spirits to open a portal to the spirit realm. It had all been a success until, Saekanis, The Divine Spirit of Destruction arrived and wreaked havoc upon Moxtli for the sin that Sibyl Cirque had created. Depriving the Divine Spirt to keep him away from their realm, and he had return to punish them. Many had fled, but those that remained had to face the wrath of an angered Divine Spirit. Thousands of lives were lost, homes were destroyed, the temple began to collapse. All what was left of Moxtli was rubble and debris.
  
  
• After Saekanis had brought his blight, one could say a miniature Pandemonium Chase, the fighters were left to die, and Saekanis took his leaving. On the other hand, there was another entity that appeared that named themselves The Instigator. Details of the arrival and discussion are hazy and undescribed due to the lack of people remaining.
  
  
• As of 1864, Moxtli is no longer a faction within Esshar. Everything had been lost of the settlement. The survivors are not asked to reconvene in any specific place, the land is gone, and the current location of Sibyl Cirque is left unknown. All survivors of the tribes are to roam where they please.
  

1865 AC - The Year of (Re)Growth

Nearly a decade of silence has befallen the desert settlement. As the wars on Esshar continue to rage, Aesirheim has seemingly been left in the literal and metaphorical dust, despite the attempts of Jarl Vigr Dyr. Commerce and trade were at an all time low while manpower and construction efforts were dwindling; would the hardy village fade quietly into the sands of time, however?

Of course not, especially with a new and particularly golden-haired woman taking the reigns.

Quote:"Heeeey~! We're baaaaack!

Not just Aesirheim, but us as well, the Ilian clan. As princess of my people, I've decided that our best course of action would be to move in with our friends down south; we got a few things in common, but mostly it's our hate for that ugly family to the east, ya know what I mean?

Anyway, I've been put in charge of a few things around here in Aesirheim. It's a beautiful village with beautiful people 'n I'd hate for it to become as dry as the desert it's in, so I'm gonna make a few much needed improvements. That way, we can both prosper, Ilian and Vanir alike.

Keep your ears open, Esshar. Some good things will happen soon...

By Njorun, I promise this.

...and by the Triumvirate too."

-Furiae Dayndros

---

♅ With the Ilian clan and Aesirheim's merging officialized, there are talks of the Rhoynish fort being moved into the desert village.

♅ Furiae Dayndros has been appointed as a sort of figurehead in Aesirheim, with logistical authority just under the Jarl.

♅ Furiae Dayndros herself has asked that all Rhoynish without a home and Moxtli refugees make their way to Aesirheim, declaring they will be welcomed with open arms.

♅ There are rumors of a system of nobility, military, and citizenship in the works by the Jarl Vigr Dyr.

Quote:

The city continues to develop, my lands.. Expand. New inhabitants arrive, but more are welcome to join us.

 

Projects as always exist, we never stop for a moment - because there is always work to be done.

1867 AC

Asphodel experiences a sudden surge of activity, and the world around her notices. As a consequence of the hostile takeover by Queen Marina Vranovo,
the fighters of Asphodel, now more than ever, seem to be extremely violent to outsiders who are not aligned with them. Traitors have been executed
and delimbed as a consequence of the Iron Queen's rule, and the fate of those who are captured is left unclear.

Marina Vranovo has very little to say in the way of words-- after all, she's been in the public light for some time, and any announcements from her are often declarations of destruction.

In the Fourth month of the year 1868AC

They've trespassed by force taking what belonged to us.

...and we allowed it."

"No longer the Coat should remain waiting,

the era of lurking ones is over."
