♎︎ Sae - 2207 AC


"As the Solstice Yeartide fades, anticipation for renewal remains well-lit within hearths during winters' breadth; for warmth and grace approaches the Kingdom once thawed."

Rotations within the Azure Order proceed with Squires Caldera Grymlok, Luna Eclipse, and Leone P. Folhammar being promoted to official Knights in rank; Aspirants Bark and Merce were sworn in as Squires, also bound to protect the Kingdom and Crown.

• The former group dedicated their swords and shields to Elinka Eclipse, who was tragically killed by the risen dead.
  
• Due to an unauthorized reconnaissance mission led by Luna Eclipse, which resulted in the capture of one individual and the untimely passing of another, she has been swiftly stripped of all titles while under arrest for her actions.
  
• This unapproved expedition into what some consider an underground lair has led to experiments enacted upon the former Knight Eclipse and her sibling, Vayn, as they returned to Caethir with adverse effects tied to Cifer.
  
• Those wishing to join the Order are encouraged to speak with Knight-Commander Lopus, Knight-Captain Yoshiru, and any currently-standing Knights. Equipment, rations, stipends, and other items are provided to those who enlist.
  

  Anyone who affronted Caethir alongside its majesties faced recourse for their actions.

• Garetta A. Equisol was banned from the borders on behalf of her family's request, as well as an arrest warrant long dispatched before those of Atheleon did so.
  
• Ilia Mugen also faces banishment from Caethiri territories for his disrespect towards the Crown; death threats levied against the Queen-Consort Caewynn will face a pending consequence soon.
  
• One Erenthius C. Meeksworth, who attacked several within Caethir's square with occultism and spread falsified rumors about the Queen-Consort doing so, returned to serve his punishment; formerly agreed to be executed by Antefinem and released into their custody, with no follow-up, King Lucion took his hand.
  
• Knight-Captain Tsuroma successfully dispatched an undead who had terrorized the surrounding woods, solely known solely to wield the Tempestine Scepter.
  
• The giant attempting to slaughter all Faeborne over Enos' destruction was bathed in holy light for ambushing the King; similarly, so could be said for disgraced House Mugen for their betrayal.
  

  Newly-appointed officials within the Royal Court now sit at the helm of several duties.

• Noctua I. Eclipse serves as the Crown's Aide, Evelyn Lopus as the Knight-Commander, Yvel Aissenai as the Court Sorcerer, and Lupin Óir-Gadaí seated as the Head-Tinkerer. Positions for Steward and Diplomat are left available, while a new title for Royal Chronicler has been taken by Merce.
  
• A massive digsite towards the western cliffsides, headed by the Head-Tinkerer, seemingly draws the attention of those also of similar intrigue.
  
• Yvel Aissenai has been tasked with investigating other natural landmarks, as once dealt with the former Court Sorceress [anyone interested in joining House Aissenai or involving themselves in this survey is implored to reach out to kanerage on Discord].
  

  House Blackthorn's prior head, Cervantes, revoked his noble status when reprimanded for disgraceful conduct. He has left the reins of his family in the hands of Knight Caldera, passing along the mantle, though underneath another namesake: House Grymlok.

Movements behind stone walls become more noticeable as seasons pass. Calls for increased lumber production for a shipyard stationed upon the northern coasts keep waterfronts bustling; some sea-faring ventures to establish trade routes are mentioned in passing.

• Other events transpire, such as festivals, combat drills, and medical lessons within Caethir during its resurgence.
  
• Expansion efforts are hitting fever pitches as those able to contribute funds towards the upcoming development are encouraged to provide donations.
  
• Considerations about constructing someplace for budding historians and warriors to learn are rumored, though not entirely confirmed.
  

Once four noble Houses stood, though only three remain tentatively:

House Grymlok of tactical warfare and everbound loyalty
House Aissenai of scholarly pursuits and nature's respect
House Eclipse of commerce and good will
