"Let it be known, from here on we shall forge our own path. To decide our own destiny within this world, to create our own paradise within the miasma of the Shadowlands."

"These were the words which I, Balrith the First Plague Lord spoke to the world. Words, which I have delivered on. Creating a home for us here, by the name of Ebonhold. A home for all those searching for purpose, searching for a place where they are no longer tools, used for the benefit of those due to their birth. This is my vision."

"Still, achieving this is not due to only my efforts. Many of you, have taken it upon yourself to aid this cause; something which I along with many others are grateful for.  Let the miasma continue to protect us."

After investing a great deal of time, effort and resources; those of the Ordo Plaga had finally managed to attain themselves not only a home for them to occupy, but built an infrastructure of markets and buildings of interest which in turn lead to them developing a budding settlement. Still in it's early stages of growth, but it was clear to see the progress from what was once just a murky swampland.

Still, there was much work to be done for the settlement to compare to the other larger settlements. So with this in mind those of the miasma are open to establishing diplomatic communications with all of the other settlements. Seeking to gain a further understanding of how they are being received by their neighbouring settlements. Along with potential diplomatic talks.

• The Miasma which was present within the Shadowlands, is noticeably thicker than it once was. The sign of true pestilence, something that those whom lived within Ebonhold believed was a sign of increased protection from their efforts. Still, it did not encroach upon those neighbouring. Simply occupying their own lands.
  
  
• It would also come out that the rumours of a Warlock aiding those of Ebonhold came out into public knowledge; with the figure being none other than the Drakanite known simply as Pity. Furthermore, his involvement in such has leaked into the common rumours, with the latest revealing that he has been Re-educating those of Ebonhold in order to be better prepared for the fights that may come their way. Not to mention advising The Plague Lord himself; Balrith.
  
  
• With the advancement of the settlement, it was finally time for the Ordo Plaga to fill out it's ranks somewhat. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity, Balrith took it upon himself to promote the kin who had proven themselves most valuable to the rank of Harbringers of the Plague; With those being Interitus, Jerekko and Shaanx.
  
  
• Efforts have been started to erect a church within the miasma, dubbed The Church of the Plague. However construction is still underway and not yet completed. A slow process, as such things always were.
  
  
• The resident Warlock Pity has been reaching out to all of those yet to receive their re-education; speaking of it with the utmost importance. Something that is seconded by The Plague Lord.
  
  
• It becomes common knowledge within the settlement that there will be several investigations into potential ways of furthering the miasma that enshrouds Ebonhold. Something that seemingly appears a priority for The Plague Lord.

It is known throughout Meranthe that the settlement of Ebonhold is actively seeking diplomatic talks, and alliances due to it's new budding status. Despite how truly unlikely this was, those within the location still held out hope for such a thing.

With this in mind, it is openly-known that they are completely Neutral with all settlements, until talks or further interaction leads to anything other than this.

Anyone wishing to enter talks are to contact Pity by letter and a date will be arranged where all parties will be present for talks.
