The news travels swiftly, not just through Aphros but throughout the entirety of Meranthe of distressing 

news: the death of the Oracle, Solomon Equisol.

Yet the sacred state of Athelios’ will does not falter and does not stop marching forward. Until the formal 

trials for the next Oracle are held, in the interim an interesting choice for leadership arises…

Hadrian Dominic’s successor within the Church, Logan Ackers, has been named as the interim leader of Aphros until the next trial is held.

“I did not set out to attain leadership, and even during the trial where the former Oracle, Hadrian, was attacked, 

I was honest in my answers. That I did not wish for it - that I was not suited for it. Many, even now, disagree with 

me. Perhaps they see things that I do not, biased as I am. But none of this matters: for Aphros is still a bastion against the wicked and vile.

The usurpers of His throne in Helheim shall tremble and they shall suffer not just for what they have committed 

against Aphros, but for their foolishness and eternal damnation of signing their souls away to the 

unnatural rulers of Helheim. To those who ousted Athelios from his rightful place.

Those who corrupt the cycle by calling the souls of the deceased back into decaying bodies, to control them like 

puppets. They too shall suffer not for their strikes and their smugness in the face of the Lord of Duality, but for their perpetuation of stagnating His cycle.

Whatever may come, will come. But in the end, Aphros carries on His will.”

҉The new interim leader until the Oracle trials are held is Logan Ackers.

҉There is news of Hayden’s retirement as Commander of the Bastion. The replacement has not yet been officially announced, though rumors persist as always.

҉Logan invites those interested in Athelios’ faith as well as the Church of Aspera to seek out himself, Irys Duclaire, or Gideon Equisol for more information.

҉The Bastion is, as always, still recruiting for capable members to flesh out the defense and security of the Holy State.

҉Alliances and treaties may be in flux given the sudden news which erupts outwards, though Logan insists on maintaining current relationships should anything change.
