"From the Ashes, we climb."

A topic of much discussion of late, having been the recipiant of aggressions from multiple directions, poised unto destruction by it's multplie threats. The defection of it's previous patron Grey Aundeoth would lead to many events that would cripple the town and the individuals within. A collaboration between the Empire of Myridia and their hirers would bring Kindlehelm to it's final heel with a pillaging that would leave many treasures ransacked and much destruction in it's wake. The leadership and many other citizens at this point fled and Kindlehelm's fate was left into the winds, an empty gift to be delivered to it's enemies. Throughout this, Kindlehelm was left in a state of abandonment and ruin. Most of it's magi population had fled, and few constructive non-magi remained as a labor force of it's rebuilding.

To the surprise of many, a group of loyalists opted to remain and negotiate the terms of vassalization with the Empire of Myridia under the leadership of Osyris Talalt, who would go on to bend the knee to the Empire of Myridia, pledging what remained of the State of Kindlehelm to become an extension of it's soil in return for future collaboration, the resources and military of Myridia utilized in efforts to rebuild Kindlehelm from the ashes. Through this, Osyris Talalt was named the Baron of Kindlehelm, to mediate affairs between their settlements.

Brigades of Kindlehelm and Myridian non-magi cooperate in efforts to restore what was lost, as a younger generation which remained true to their lands has filled the shoes left by their predecessors. The Vacant position of Minister of Order held by Bailey Rowe has descent upon his daughter Violet Rowe. The role of Commander of the Flameborne Order has been filled by Cypress Valkynia, due to recent circumstances surrounding Miyashita Talalt. The return of a renowned and familiar figure has been noted as well as Anya Talalt has been seen lingering about Kindlehelm, advising her descendant in his efforts. Many new faces are seen filling the streets with heavy construction and development underway.

ৡ Anya Talalt has been seen repurposing the Mooney Institute and it's structural components to further her own works.

ৡ The various wonders which survived are now maintained beneath Violet Rowe, work continues upon the projects that were previously pending.

ৡ Esoti Lam is taking apprentices in Medicinal crafts as well as specializing artificers in the art of Golemancy.

ৡ Cypress Valkynia will begin recruitment drives to repopulate the Flameborne Order. Armorors and smiths are seen working double-time to equip new recruits.

Kindlehelm as a whole remains in a state of reconstruction, having lost much through their various efforts against their established enemies, and yet the embers burn bright as ever beneath the few new faces which remain, word of silent plans meet some ears, and various resources have been seen being shipped to what once had been the Mooney Industry. Though, when one would assume there could be no more - a public statement is shared by the new Baron of Kindlehelm:

"The State of Kindlehelm will henceforth enter an armistice agreement of twenty years with the Realm of Delphina and it's vassal-states, to be upheld until the Year 2232AC. The remaining leadership disavows the efforts made against previous Delphinan Rituals. "

The people of Kindlehelm have made their stance well known upon an inward focus as a Progressive Settlement with a mostly blank canvas of political relations. 

Their population is miniscule, with only roughly a dozen capable magi remaining, and roughly one hundred non-magi laborors.

The Myridian Empire - Vassalized.

The Realm of Delphina - Neutral, under armistice. 
The Sanctuary - Neutral. 
All Others - To be determined.
