2128 AC

After over a decade of peace, Gloomlight Grove's declaration against Midpoint came perilously close to embroiling much of the continent in violence.
War was avoided in the end with a public statement of trust in the Final Frontier's good intentions, through negotiations brokered by Azalea Aubreen and the Order of the White. However, tensions clearly linger between the forces of Midpoint and Athelios's city.


The marshaling of Gloomlight's forces has not gone entirely to waste, as they have turned around to immediately send a detachment to Fortune's aid against the Deathwind Fleet. It is a small force for a small enemy, but a strong commitment to the league of nations standing against the threat...

...and, perhaps, related to a certain announcement that rumor suggests is swirling in the wind.

The Twilight City acknowledges the sacrifice of Eivor Ualdirsson, Hina Lam, and Ulysses to the forces of Atrellya with grave sorrow and respect alike.

"For all the disagreements I and my people have had with Aegis, there is no denying Meranthe has lost a powerful and valiant force for good. May we find comfort in the knowledge that when heroes fall, their example lights a beacon for all to follow-"

"-and that wherever Hina Lam and Eivor Ualdirsson have gone, they have gone together."

THE BASTION

• A restructuring in the ranks has led to the naming of Jaizara Ueda as the new Umbra Captain, with Ansel switching to Astra Captain, while Erebus Bargiel remains Commander.
   
  
• Squire Bonbon has received a field promotion to Knight, while other squires might soon have a chance to ascend as well - scuttlebutt suggests Trials may be around the corner.
   
  
• The Bastion is, as always, recruiting. All those who wish to honor Athelios' will and fight against the forces of witchcraft, diablerie, and necromancy are welcome. Recruits can look forward to training and mentorship in combat, aid in providing any necessary alchemical elixirs or equipment, and housing within Gloomlight or the Twilight City. Contact Erebus Bargiel, Ansel, or Jaizara Ueda to join.

PERSONNEL

• Sterling Starling has been named Secretary to the Oracle, to be contacted on all business that does not relate to ongoing or personal concerns. If in doubt about whether to reach out to the Oracle directly, parties are advised to contact the Secretary.
  
  
• Edwyn Meeksworth has been named Gloomlight's Treasurer, responsible for tracking donations and shop taxes for the city's expansion.
  
  
• A new diplomatic corps has been established, with Ardence de la Croix as liaison to Dal'thala and Jaizara Ueda as liaison to Londo as its first two members. Future appointments are likely, with nations encouraged to reach out if they would like a dedicated representative to smooth communication

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

• Head of Research Ksceniya C. Montelione is actively tracking all research projects underway and encourages everyone who may wish to work with Gloomlight to contact her. Gloomlight's expertise in metaphysical and medical research is open to all friendly and neutral parties for consultation.
  
  
• Oracle Loramelian Ueda is continuing to develop anti-necromancy measures, and invites any and all individuals who wish to be a part of the effort to reach out. (Needless to say, this does not include actual necromancers.)
  
  
• Sterling Starling invites aeromancers to visit and work with her nascent Realm of Sky, a subplane of Air currently under development.
  
  
• Galena Altha seeks aid, especially from blood mages, artificers, and alchemists, for the Cruor Manufactorum – a forge dedicated to the possibilities of blood-based artificery.
  
  
• Mei’Ria's official code of laws remains under revision.
