After years of planning, the Elzara from the Mount once known as the Menagerie seem to march out, seemingly unopposed for now.

The "Mossland Inc." Outpost by the bridge that has neighboured them for so long seems to be their target.

The Armiger of House Caewynn, who has been quiet in recent years and retreated into his home, seems to announce a statement along with this sudden movement.

"It is time to finally amend broken borders, conflicting interests, and poisoned histories.
The Greywatch's role as Sentinel of the mount remains as it has always been, thanks to the youths being pulled in by its recent growth.

House Eisande of the Fae Realms will continue to be its stewards and the shield of the south.
Such is the oath sworn to protect these lands from foreign interests that seek to abuse the crafted and nurtured wyld that has allowed this Mount to see life once more."

It seems that the mostly abandoned watchtower will have its foregone utility re-utilized. A movement likely spurn from the activity done by Void Cultists and the like who have consistently encroached onto territory that belongs to the Greywatch's Guard.

One can only wonder how this will affect Caravan Travel for merchants through the region...!

A meeting is held, in the efforts of negotiation.

And yet, it fails after the first meeting. Demands are offered, and refusal is met with disappointment.
Despite the attempted negotiations between the Greywatch and Aetius, it appears that the Lady of Aetius refuses to simply hand over the tower.

And is willing to fight for what she sees as hers, until the bitter end.

A small contingent of forces from Aetius move to the tower to reinforce it from the forces of the Greywatch. However, most importantly, they do not necessarily throw the first stone of aggression. For now.

Over the year with the loss of Aetius on its stand against the Coalition, the smell of ash gave Delphina a newfound sense of opportunism.
As time went on what were few potent magi of Aetius still left in the Bazaar began to be phased out for more regimented and scheduled Elzaran forces watching over the black market.

Production didn't cease.
It just expanded.

Thieves Guilds with patrons high up on nobility and Faeborne Lords with a taste for the exotic became frequent buyers. Tea production from foreign spices that are hard to access all but become common products. Across the Bazaar, Masquarade parties, Balls and songs have become much more common. Caravans now without the stranglehold of Greywatch Blockades can more freely pass by without the same scrutiny those who came from Aetius would've taken. Underground deals continue, corruption remains just about the same as it was before save for perhaps a few making a larger profit.

Cargo and shipments become easily and readily available for trade as the maritime might of Delphina expands on the Bazaar's reach through Meranthe, and without much subtelty the borders of Delphina grow with its new inclusion and takeover past the failed attempt of Atheleon's Heist on the Vaults of the Kingdom. Arcanium Coins bearing the Sigil of the Golden Phoenix of House Caewynn, Gold Coins holding the imprint of Lumin King Camino de Caewynn's portrait and Silver Coins bearing the face of the passed queen Aurona Caewynn all but become the common form of currency passed around in the Bazaar's lower levels.

With it, they celebrate newfound business opportunities with the same motto anyone else would.

"Long Live the Lumin King."

The Bazaar is now Delphinian.
Further attempts will have to be done through public raid declarations.
