[Sale Bête]

To the west stirs a Dragon, its wings spreading, its reach growing. To the north, the realms of the Lumin King, and all the realms of Caethir, Stonehaven, and Ateheleon between.

Yet to the east stirs a Wolf, rising from the Shadowlands. Recent events cause it to lift its head and scent the winds, to prowl the dark wood that it calls home.

To bare its teeth upon the world once more.

[ Current Events ]

  

• The Great Work progresses under the guidance of Cedric Veythar. Willing alchemists, or perhaps those just curious in the art of Sorcery and his labors, are encouraged to seek him out.
  

• The ex-bandit Yvelt Thakland has been apprehended within the Sanctuary, charged with crimes of deceit and endangerment of fellow citizens. Judgement has followed, but the city is not one to publicly host trials and their outcomes. Amends have been made with the people of Caethir, though Arcadia is still pending potential reparations.
  

• Commander Aurora Amarti has been spear-heading a project, though there is little public discussion surrounding its execution. The hands of many Arcanists seem to be involved, however, across much of the continent.
  

• The Sage of Liberation recently performed a rite within the Shadowlands, just west of the Sanctuary’s borders and in the depths of the swamps. Its true purpose is a mystery, but the results are not to be denied - stepping from a pyre of Astral Flame, the Sage walks again unblemished by any mark or scar of flesh.
  

• Advancements have been made within the Wolfshead Order, granting those that hold it greater boons. It’s purported that this Seal allows its Sorcerers an even greater tie to the more tumultuous parts of the Astral Sea, and bonds more closely to those that have tasted Dark Magic prior. Those of Covens and Cults wishing for a greater life are, as ever, encouraged to leave behind the old and embrace the new....
  

• The Wolfshead Library opens, a broad collection covering a wide variety of topics. Writings on philosophy, magic, and medicine all collected from across Meranthe. Any with worthy writings are encouraged to donate, or even peruse the stacks.
  

• Construction continues within the Sanctuary, including a new tower to the north bordering the southern jungle lands, as well as one pending construction to the city’s western borders.
  

• Tensions have been at an all time high between Sanctuary and the lands to the west, namely those of Arcadia and Atheleon. Swirling whispers of Crusades, of demands, surround a particular Athelite relic - The Silver Chalice. Talks were underway and seemingly a resolution was found pending talks with the Pontifice. Now, with the announcement of calls for Cassius Bargiel’s arrest and capitulation to Delphina? No more. The Sanctuary makes its stance clear: The Chalice will no longer be given over to Atheleon.
     
  

• While there are no stirrings beyond the borders of the wood yet, roving hunting bands of the Sanctuary now patrol the Shadowlands and accost any deemed ‘hostile’ to the nation - but especially those of Atheleon, or those that name themselves its allies.
