Within Caethiran Skies - radio - 08-18-2025

Only months ago had the armies of Caethir traveled towards Glimmer Lake and staked their claim on nearby territory, bringing it back into their reaches. Only months ago had those clouds above began to thin and curious eyes pondered on the cause, on the odd weather above their celebration.
 
No matter, spirits remain high. They celebrate their victory and enjoy the bounty of a lake that carries the shimmering reflections of their hopeful future.

It isn't until the armies return home that any real worry is whispered amongst the streets of Caethir. For, while clouds thinned above the lake.. above the capital they began to thicken and dense. They didn't shift or roll across the sky, they all joined to a single mass and cast a mighty shade over the streets.
 
Just what was happening?


RE: Within Caethiran Skies - radio - 08-19-2025

It's a month of cloudy forecast and the mass above only seems to build, never dissipate. There comes no sun, no rain, no snow. Worry takes to the street, the ring of crier's bells, Doomsday is whispered. Retribution from the Heaven's is touched upon.

The prophetic warnings and fears of the locale need not be endured far longer. For as the month passes, the skies shift. Only, it doesn't seem for the better. Clouds that had built begin to descend upon the kingdom. Houses are consumed, the streets are filled with the fog.
 
Citizens collapse in the streets. Guards crumble and clatter against their post. A kingdom falls to rest as men and women push to their ends in attempts to climb structures and escape the dreamy mists, only to find themselves under the same spell.
  
Verdant flashes buzz within the sky, cloaks flutter and boots thud against shingled rooftops. Dark silhouettes begin to roam the streets in groups.
To the talented Caethiri magi who staff its military, things are clear.
An invasion has fallen upon them amidst a dark night.

Citizens do not find themselves victims, though certainly some succumb to injury in their panic and terror. The dreaming are piled on the curb, it still remain unclear for the opening minutes. Though, things within this fog are quick to change.
 
Soldiers storm from the Caethiri Keep and look to enter the streets, magi dedicated to their sworn oaths. But their eyes are brought back to where they had once come from. Atop the royal's home do an elite group of sorcerers linger, bearing Aetian attire.
 
A voice, soft and somber, it echoes through the entire Kingdom, rolling from the clouds that infest it.
 
"We will not be bullied and made fools.
Simply because our nation is small.
Simply because you hide behind a protective set of fae-wings.
 
If you wish to have the lake so badly, you shall live there."
 
Clouds wrap around the Keep and border the soldiers as well as the sorcerers above. Suddenly, from their depths, titanic limbs emerge. Draped in a nightmarish black, digits curl to foundational stone that Caethir once originated from. It began its effort to rip the building from its roots.

".. domain.."

As many started to collapse and the forms of the Sorcerers unveiled themselves, a light soon emerged at the castle's balcony. One dim at first, but soon bright enough that many overlooking the scene from outside the kingdom would notice such radiance.

Quote:"You call onto us as pushing around our weight, yet you lay the one skulking in the dark. But just as you wish to make show of your own force and might, we shall do the same!"

-Lucion C. Fair, 4th Regent of Caethir

The warnings had given the time for many of their own kingdom to prepare for the signs of war. Many in Caethir colors stood at the ready, the 4th Regent's own light mana made manifested as it looked to dispel the nightmarish hands that grasped at his very castle. The war brought to their own front doors and now it was time to repel them!

Objective: Defend the Keep!
Date: Saturday, August 23rd: 4pm EST

Overpowering light swells against a nightmare shroud..
.. and then it catches the glint of a dagger in the dark.

Scavengers part the veil of fog and slip past the guards,
headed for the castle-keep as its defenders rally the light.

Their identities are unmistakable as gold kisses their skin.
From above come sorcerers; from below... uh, librarians..?

Target: Kingdom of Caethir
Attacker: Kess Archive
Side-Objective: Robin Hooding

"We must be Free not because we claim Freedom, but because we practice it."
-- Antefinem Senator


In Aetius' pursuit to pillage what is not theirs, destroy rather than nurture, and hurt instead of heal, Antefinem has continued to blossom beautiful, genuine relationships. With every day its pulse grows stronger, and what does it choose to do with this growing strength? Improve, preserve, and change the world for the better. 

Antefinemite banners can be seen raised by battalions as they move en mass to reinforce the Catherian border. 

Soldiers swear that as they carry on, they can catch glimpses of people they once knew and were now gone. They saw them as they once remembered them, and could swear they were smiling in approval of them and what they marched for. These must have been tricks of the mind... but what if they weren't?

"Our flag does not fly because the wind blows it. It flies because of the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it."
-- Insignis Gregory, Combat Medic

Where they doing the right thing? A great thing? 

If there had been any doubt in their mind before, there wasn't any longer. It felt as if the Honored Dead were giving living Antefinemite soldiers their blessing and good tidings.

Phantasmagoria.
A twisted realm borrowed from the Dreamscape, tied to Meranthe through a sorcerer's connection to the Endless. A limitless nightmare, bottled only by its master's imagination.
 
This nightmarish landscape is what is summoned upon Caethiri streets in the dead of night after the many bodies drop to slumber, feeding its strength. Titanic limbs stretch from the clouds that border the domain, keeping all within trapped. They latch upon the Keep and begin the grueling work of tearing it from its foundation.
 
[Image: caethirwin2.png]
 
The gilded forces of Caethir strike against the domain's master and allies, Aetian forces that clash within the streets as sorcerers are sent to loot the crumbling vaults of the once royal household. Casualties are found, not only in the battling magi, but also blood that begins to pour the streets from slumbering innocents unfortunately caught in the dangerous crossfire of two warring forces.
 
Steel clashes. Magics rattle in the skies. Stone crumbles. 
A Fae meets their end.
A Kingdom crawls towards ruin.
 
[Image: caethirwin3.png]
 
Empowered by the essence of dreams captured within, the limbs of nightmare hold the Keep hundreds of feet above the Kingdom as Aetius' Lord and their bounty watch within the skies. It is tossed westward, crashing within Glimmer Lake, destroying both the building and the property it targeted.
 
Domain's bubble pierced, clouds begin to filter out. Nightmares are left to but terrifying memory. Portals buzz.
 
Within the Kingdom's walls, Aetius is no more.
