CHAPTER 2: The Sea Behind Gold

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬





It is by no means a surprise.

The Imperial Empire of Myridia stirs from its rest, erupting, a quiet slumber disturbed, as the weight of an awakening titan breathes down upon the lands.

What was once a distant land, a shattered cradle of Imperial Consort Sadhbh Kerekes is no longer a memory of destroyed ruins.

Today, the very heart of Meranthe bears witness to a new horizon painted in Black and Gold.

With an iron-clad will

Claims travel by land, sea, and air, as the Empire expands to claim the rugged heights of Mount Pavonis.

The tides churn as Myridian warships, flanked by the fleet of the Kingdom of fortune cut a path toward the island holding the Sewer Dungeon.

Soon, does the island enter the bunch to be added to the Imperial Domain.

The 'West' is united under a single banner, and with it comes a new neighbor for an Aphrosian Empire as claimed by one Percival Anwar.

---

Rumors circulate that Sanctuary has been annexed by the Empire of Myridia, yet there has been much silence from the Golden Dragon on such a matter. In the eyes of the colossus, could it be true that Sanctuary is an Imperial Territory? Meranthe is left to wonder if this beast views many nations as mere provinces waiting to be claimed.

There is a heaviness in the air, a scent of steel and salt.
From sunset to sunrise, warriors consolidate and an army stirs.
A golden tide preparing to wash from the west towards the inevitable reaches of the East.


[The Empire of Myridia now borders the Holy State of Atheleon.]
[These are claims. Can be contested. If uncontested. The territories are 'controlled.']
