[DragonDarklyDreaming]

Year 2135 AC

Though it's been some years since an official statement, the Traverse has not been idle. Growing and developing, it has shifted from a tiny little island town, to a bustling port. And with its growth, finally, have come changes... And a statement from one of its Suzerains.

"Our people have long been focused upon the future, and on building the dream that the Traverse was founded upon. Every step we take together fills me with pride. As we grow, let us continue to be a nation of harmony that welcomes all that wish to learn and share their culture, hopefully well into the future to come."

Construction of a lighthouse temple to Memoria has been completed, and furnishings are being brought in. The place is rumored to be the site of an upcoming ritual to be held by Elizabeth Montelione.

Mnemosyne Montelione gathers together the energies of those eager to fight the invading forces of Atrellya, gathering together her power as well in a similar ritual. The two Suzerain both readying to perform great, concluding acts meant to protect the Traverse and the Southern Seas. The seas themselves seem to stir, with fishermen and Sirenians whispering the name 'Iltheris'...

Rumors abound, likewise, of the upcoming retirement of the rulers. Signs begin to point towards Parmoni being groomed towards leadership, with the Suzerains' son Marinel offering support. In a public statement, Elizabeth had this to say:

"My wife and I grow old, and we have given much for the land. Whilst I am not ready to announce an heir, know that things are being carefully considered. That being said, as Syne and I prepare our rituals, I ask that everyone support my son and Parmoni, and turn less-important matters to their gaze."

As ever, the Traverse remains a part of the Republic, though due to their culture's inclination towards inclusiveness, some have started to use it as a neutral ground for meetings and discussions. Those not of the Fel, with peaceful intent, are allowed to visit, though are watched carefully for any wrongdoing.

A large pack of Ookami, Melodians from all accounts, have recently joined the Traverse. Making their den in a grounded ship on the Southwestern shore of the Traverse, they are considered at bare minimum allied whilst they settle in and get acclimated. Despite some worries, the rulers assure all citizens that worship of the Melodian faith is allowed, and that the practices of the pack are not dangerous for the Traverse's citizens.

Finally, rumors speak of soldiers sent from New Atlantis... Young men and women sent to complete their training in the Traverse and serve as new Tidewardens within its military. But these are still but rumors as of yet.
