RE: State of Esshar - Didos - 07-03-2021 ![]() ![]() The City of Infamy - 1855 A.C.
Since its separation from the Empire of Barsburg, the Metal City has gone through countless changes - time clearly hasn't done it any good, but that hasn't changed who ruled these lands, didn't change those who live in them..
Much less the plans they have for Esshar. And with the ascencion of a Lich, the situation became increasingly clear to all who got in the way of those who ran the place. ᔸ - The government of Achyon is established and made clear, who commands these lands is the Family and those who think otherwise must be prepared for the consequences.
ᔸ - After years of study and various tests, the Necromancer, formally known as Nidaz, finally attained the Lich status - becoming an immortal entity. ᔸ - Undead have become a normal sight around the city at this point, as such are the ones who make up the main infantry of the city's army. ᔸ - The construction of Mort Donjon continues, where the view of the colossal structure is seen on the outskirts of the city. ᔸ - It is also clear that an encounter between Claudette Vanreth and Smile resulted in the death of the Nethradin - which was absorbed by the Synth. ᔸ - During the joint expedition between Achyon and Asphodel, it was revealed that the cause of Alexei's death was a plot of the Queen Araceli and her fiance, but both who paid the price for their actions. Ambrose ended up falling at the hands of Claudette who then procceded to claim the Diabolicon! And at that day, the Vampire was finished by Illythia pyr Docro, where nothing was left behind.. And later on Araceli was dethroned by her own people. ᔸ - After a journey into the depths of Hel'heim, it was remarkable that one person would return from the dead world - the Docro Devil, Alexei pyr Docro, brought to the world of the living thanks to the efforts of the family and the powers of Nidaz Vanreth. ᔸ - The invasion of Dreadwoods was a complete success, demonstrating the strength of the Vanreth family - by eliminating the Supreme, establishing a new hierarchy and still acquiring countless tomes of knowledge. ᔸ - After the attack on the Temple of Eos, several events took place around Esshar - including a power struggle between the Tyrant and the Crimson Devil, which then resulted in a clash between the Lich and the Daughter of Darkness known as Ivory - who ultimately suffered the consequences of refusing his offer. ᔸ - Preparations on the behalf of the Vanreth Family can be seen, which are rumored to be something involving the Primordial known as the Forgotten Son. Finally a message is left by the Eternal One:

![]() State of Aesirheim - MalikCatcher - 07-05-2021 ![]() ![]() 1855 AC - The Year of Change
After the tragic demise of Jarl Vekel, Kark's Chosen, Aesirheim was left in a severely weakened state. Many warriors were lost due to Asphodel and Achyon's combined attack on the small nation, and the morale was low. However, a new Jarl was to be selected after the memorial to honor the fallen at Memorial Hill. There, the fallen would be immortalized in stone and visible to all of Aesirheim.
During the election, the previous Jarl's adopted son, Rufus, was the next in line to the throne. However, upon feeling unworthy to fill his late father's shoes, he passed the throne to the previous Jarl's childhood friend: Vigr Dyr.
One of Vigr's first acts was a message to Aesirheim's fleet, intent on bringing more of their people into the settlement of Aesirheim, on Esshar, to aid them in their quest to secure a new land of their own:
Quote:"Much has happened on Esshar. More battles have been fought, and more blood has been spilled in Kark's name. But we've held firm... at a great cost. ![]() ♅ Aesirheim has finished preparations for the large-scale expedition to visit the Great Dragon Garjling with the Fireblooded.
♅ Despite the drought, and previous war, Aesirheim continues building up its city under Vigr's rule, in hopes of expanding their territory and reinforcing their nation in case of inevitable attacks by outsiders.
♅ There are rumors of the continued construction of the Bloodforge, and a need for more Crystal magi, alchemists, and artificers to aid in its construction.
♅ There has been a steady growth in Aesirheim's population, many warriors and refugees from lands across Esshar coming to join the settlement in hopes of a better future.

The citadel of vampires finds itself in turmoil following the regicide of Araceli Falkenrath, falling in utter silence, though retaining its positions much thanks to the reign of Avelin Alricht. However, the Crimson Monarch's crown has found itself on yet another head... ◦ Recently, the Queen was witnessed leaving the Kingdom's territories - without the symbolic bow and crown on her person. Whatever has caused such an abrupt change of heart, it is certain that the heiress Annete Alricht has ascended to the throne. An unexpected turn of events, for certain. Long may the new Queen reign. ◦ A proper coronation ceremony will take place at the same time of the new Queen's wedding with Seth pyr Docro, whose ascension will take place on the same date. ◦ Any agreements or dealings that have been undergoing during Avelin Alricht's reign will be reviewed, and if found to be in accordance with the new Queen's plans for the Kingdom's future, renewed.
Quote:My ascension to the throne was something sudden, unexpected. But it is not a thing I do not welcome, nor is it something I am not prepared for. Our Kingdom has found itself in a period of silence, falling further and further into irrelevance. But I shall not allow ourselves be so easily wiped out from the history of this continent.

Quote:The Weaver - The Spider. A new addition to the Pantheon of the Moxtli Tribes as of 1857 AC, the Weaver-Between-the-Cracks-of-the-World - short form referred to simply as ‘the Weaver’ - is a Primordial of Cunning and Hedonism. Followers of the Weaver - known collectively as ‘the Children of the Weaver’ - express a very individualistic ideology within the Moxtli’s wider society, with the main tenets focused around embracing life and its pleasures, and acting in cunning manners with the aim to remain consistently entertained. Worshippers are fond of tricks, ranging from harmless to somewhat less so.
Quote: Moxtli laws still apply to all that come into it. Respect the tribes and you'll be respected. Do not hope to accomplish anything in Moxtli without representing strength or any benefit for the tribes.
Quote:"Tha' tribes have begun to restore it's glory, the traditions, and will continue ta' do so. Those who contribute will be rewarded fo' their efforts. As promised." - Sibyl Cirque Relations:
The Family - Neutral Asphodel - Neutral Fireblooded - Neutral Osrona - Neutral Aesirheim - Neutral Mire - Hostile RE: State of Esshar - Unforgiven - 07-18-2021 ![]() ![]() ![]() Peril and Chaos seizes Esshar once more, and it is anyone's guess as to how this divine war will conclude. The interstice of a brief peace is shattered, broken by the likes of Nidaz's Castle, as well as the Shadowmire's thirst for conquest. All matters aside, 1858 marks a year of further advancement, and dissension within the council...
"A shadowy unlight seeks to swallow us whole, and it is our duty to vanquish this abhorrence once and for all. We will respond not only in animosity, but integrity and honour, so that we may cure the venomous cloud that hangs over Esshar. An era of unrefined elegance awaits us- And I will see to it that the damned do not return.
Moxtli's cowardice to turn tail at such a pivotal stage within Esshar is something I will not forget so long as I continue to breathe, Sibyl Cirque.
Your convenience with Ambrose, your decision to buy Yiras from Nidaz and the Docro, to neutrality with the very anathematic evil of of the tribes do not uphold these Gehennan values you speak of.
Eliphas will rest easy, and that is all I have to say.
Mankind... Isn't it an interesting bunch, so much self deception at all levels, from the individual mind right up through their societal structures. The most difficult work they value the least, it appears as a patriarchal means of dominance, to keep the appearance of higher status while avoiding the more difficult tasks.
No longer. The first step I will have us take is none other than acceptance."
— Lightbearer Angelo ven Pelleaux ![]() ☉ The threat that sought to have the venerated Temple of Eos razed was quelled, successfully lead by Archmagi Aeliana, and Lightbearer Angelo.
☉ The persistence to kindle a spirit of the past is heralded by Radiant Melody, her work within the city being appreciated. Speak to her if you seek to learn more. ☉ The indiscriminate attacks within Messaris are not ignored by the Dawn. A task, given to capture the so called "Beast of Messaris" for the City to handle as a collective. The Lightbearer will personally reward you. ☉ Relations with the Fireblooded are continuously hashed out on good terms. ☉ A more formal route to international connections with Aesirheim and the Fireblooded is promoted. The Coalition, a Summit held every two years within their respective nations. The next is said to be held within the Shimmering City. ☉ The final slot has been filled, and thus Alistair Alcast has taken the final position of Radiant. ☉ With Moxtli's choice to leave the Alliance, relations return to neutrality. ☉ A recent decision between the Archmagi and Lightbearer has returned the role of Exarch to the order, having it placed directly underneath a Radiant to their respective company. ☉ Seemingly, Angelo proposes a project of his own, dedicated to the discovery of mapping another Constellation. ☉ The premise of the Expedition has been changed, following the defense of the Temple, their journey is none other than Astya, to whence they originated from, heralded by Angelo ven Pelleaux.

"In the light of the day, I see the destruction upon our city. First and foremost, I offer an apology, to all those who heard me in the aftermath. There are excuses I could offer, that affected my mental state, however, as one who wishes to rule, I cannot make such grievous errors. I will not ask forgiveness, for I've done nothing to earn it. I will instead be funding a memorial, out of my pocket, for those that fell. And work ever harder to make Osrona into a better city.
I invite any who have ideas for the future of Osrona, or concerns about it, to speak with me. I will make time if necessary. May Maltziel and Leonaus light our path into the future."

Vengeance against the Family. Asphodel, with its new change in leadership, has begun taking proactive measures once more to bolster its numbers, for that very reason.
- - -
◦ Following the sudden kidnapping, and soon after, treason of Seth Vanrouge against the Docro family, Asphodel, in rank with the Mire, have turned against the Family in an opposition. ◦ The former 'kingdom' of Asphodel, has taken the shape of a Duchy-- With Seth Vanrouge as it's Duke, and Annete Alricht as Duchess. ◦ Recent attempts to reclaim wealth are actively being made in order to expand and fortify the settlement guised only with swamps. There are talks of creating a facility complex for the minds set on advancement of various fields. ◦ Preparations for an expedition to a far off continent are being made, with Valmasia as the target location. Many vampires, and some who've pledged fealty to their cause will be attending. ◦ Those who do not swear loyalty to the Duchess and Duke and/or those deemed unneeded in Asphodel will be evicted; should they not do so and not move out in a timely manner, their properties and everything kept within shall be taken away forcibly. ◦ Advertisement of Asphodel's local bar, Volikhar's Coffin, touches nearly every corner of Esshar. Would its appeal lure you in? Quote:“Ladies and gentlemen, gremlins and ghouls, times are changing. The old order crumbles in the wake of rot and stagnancy, the power balance of Esshar spasms and trembles with each passing year, and yet the court remains. Despite many who would see it extinguished, those who wither with age day by day, our architecture is not so meager as to crumble from a bit of duress. Relations:

The ruins of the great city that was once Achyon, today is a fetid swamp infested by the undead abominations and inhabited by the most different types of heinous individuals. Above it, the immortal dragon fortress - Mort Donjon, hovers like a terrible shadow that reminds everyone of the blight that marks these forgotten lands.
And at the dark sea it is not different, as such is dominated by pirates who have made their home there - carrying the banners of the Deep Company.. And to the south of the lands, the Docro family Manor, a lair of drugs and debauchery - stands imposingly over the time. ---
ᔸ -Mort Donjon's construction reachs a end and such marks a new era in Esshar's history - a clear demonstration of the extent of the Necromancer's powers.
ᔸ - After the incursion into the city of Osrona, where the Lich reaped the Arch-Magi's life - the Vault of Heroes would be targeted, which had the corpses of heroes from the past stolen.. Some that were long forgotten - but were now used in the projects of the Vanreth.
ᔸ - The Deep Company, under Tiger's command - begins projects in the city's ruins.. Under Nidaz's guidance and blessings.
ᔸ - After Claudette's death and the Lich's clash against the Spider - it's notable that there was an increase in defenses of the 'city', in addition to an increase in the number of undead soldiers. Besides, of course, the Necromancer is looking for people willing to join him..
ᔸ - Plans for an expedition are on the way, but the rumors don't inform to where does the family intend to go this time.. What a thing.

RE: State of Esshar - NeatherRealmer - 08-01-2021 ![]() ![]() In the Darkness, we thrive, cutting off one head splits us into five. We always strive.
Amidst the shadows things have been stirring, the creatures of the night have been spurring. Even when there has been a pain the madness will remain, we are the stain upon this plane and for that, we shall continue to gain and rain down upon those who seek to drain our reign and chain our mane. We have the resistance to go the distance and continue our existence with persistence. This isn't a game as we will once again rise to fame and bring shame on those who claim to be nothing but a lame dame.
Whispers in the night bringing delight as those with sight can't handle the fright, there is no light in spite of the plight to smite. Those with the right and might to fight have been taking a bite.
