• The Tribunal Of the Everyman rises, an attempt at a return of the faithful of the Twelve Saints as an organized sect within the Land of Aemir, under a new guise and with a new doctrine of its own.
  Where Redemption awaits the striving penitents, a hand held out to help guide to the Light of Salvation.
  

• The Goldlight Order remains, but with a new call for willing volunteers to undertake the oath of service in this new stage of its life under one of its many Wings, not simply a militant order but the one that administrates and protects The Vigil.
   And what a better time, than with the upcoming oath-taking ceremony?
  

• The Southern Gauntlet has been announced, in cooperation with the Kingdom of Fortune, a grand competition and festivity in three parts, hosting not only two tournaments, but a closing ball as well.
  

• A wide selection of upcoming events, gatherings and lessons are announced to be in the works, hosted not only by the residents of the Settlement, but on the behalf of other individuals and Kingdoms.
  Anyone seeking this same benefit, to host anything of note within the boundaries of The Vigil are advised to seek out The Knight-Commander, in person or through letter.
  

• With the conclusion of the Volunteer Aid given to the Kingdom of Fortune, The Silver Auxiliary Legion is not only considered a resounding success due to the numbers gathered, even if the defense failed, but also no longer of need till they are called upon once again.
  All Legionnaires have been officially paid for their service, and have been dismissed from active duty with honors, after their singular tour of duty.
  

• But it is not only ongoing events that mark this year for The Order and its Stronghold, but the achievements of the entire year, including a ritual of grand proportions in cooperation with the Holy State of Aphros.
  

• The announcement of a residential district expansion has been declared, individual housing will soon come to the settlement, to supplement both the Garrison quarters, and the Inn quarters currently available.
  

• The bountiful fields surrounding what once was the Old City of Aphros, and now where Martyrs´ Vigil stands, endure after the Grand Channeling of The Sanctioner, with the intervention of several parties.

• Though it is not all positives, as with a closing call, The Order declares that Lyco Corbin is barred from entry or passage through the nearby border surrounding the lands of the Settlement, for the sake of public safety after a recent incident. 
  The same restrictions are not held against others of The Bastion.
  

• The growth of the city continued steadily, with the population of its citizens and non-magi steadily increasing. As the need for expansion became apparent, the time to make the the dreams of Londo's original's founder would arrive. Funds were raised, and with In'yu acting as the primary investor, Londo flourished. The prosperity of the city reached a point where it was no longer just a city but transitioned into a full fledged kingdom.
  

• As Londo expanded, the necessity for change became apparent. Following discussions among the core members, a decision was reached to abolish the council, opting for a monarchy instead. In this new structure, a proclaimed king, supported by advisors, would be responsible for decision making. Soon after the agreement, Luka Mikos was appointed as Londo's first king.
   
  
• Not long after the shift in leadership, Luka Mikos went missing, leaving Londo without a leader. Fearing the potential downfall of the place he put so much time into, Asher Kasca, the former councilman, stepped forward. With the support of the majority, Asher assumed the title of king, bringing with him a series of changes for Londo:
  

• The title for Londo's leader has been switched from King to Head.
  

2103 AC

Prosperity shines from the ruby jewel of the Meranthian Northeast.
With many political changes, a population boom of migrants, and organizational progress.
Reports indicate an overall pleased response with the recent growth, noting that fortune smiles upon them.
Yet with such, the doors remain open; more arrivals are encouraged from within, and outside of Meranthe.





☯ The recent expansion has lead to the official formation of Xuefeng's military sect, the Ashigaru;
The first wave of recruits have sworn service, under Captain Murong Ze. May they prove fruitful in their service to the Shogunate.

☯ Religious focus has shifted within the settlement; from an almost entirely Fourfold Path focused doctrine, to an equal welcoming of those following the teachings of the Illuminated. An alliance steeped in history once more welcomed with open arms, by the Clan.


☯ With the revelation of their heritage, Regent Akane Nakano has taken her rightful position as second in command, dealing primarily with external affairs at the behest of the now truly named Shogun, Mikoto Shinjitsu. Though this ultimately seems to change very little for the joint-office.

☯ Nihon Navigators, while not an official sect of the Ashigaru, has opened for business; an officially endorsed guild within the walls of Xuefeng. The Regent wishes them all glorious prosperity going forward, and her full support.


☯ Talks of the infamous SHOWDOWN events returning have begun circulating, with much anticipation from the Clan.


☯ Order & Prosperity continue to be the focal point of Xuefeng's doctrine, inviting the other nations of Meranthe to join them in such a push forward, especially after the revelation of a particular Chaotic Entity reawakening after a failed ritual elsewhere.

Relations:

Tumultuous is an understatement when it comes to the recent events of Prospera.
As streets lay bare of people, and partially covered in debris from the recent battling, a great effort is being made to return the city to the peaceful status quo it was known for prior.
What the future holds is unsure, but for now, Prospera remains standing, alive, even through her scuffs. She was never dying, despite what others might claim, merely enjoying a minor role in life.

A role which the Ministers seemingly had no intention of changing for the time being.

<=o=>

- Most importantly, Vokel Liadan was unanimously voted into office to take the seat of his mother, Vosa Liadan, as a the Speaker of Prospera. Unfortunately, a few, short months into his seat, grievous, and public displays of violence against the rest of the board-members see them also unanimously voting him off it again. Revolting against this decision, hostilities once more break out, with the outcome that Vokel Liadan is forcefully ejected from the city on charges of assault, and battery of Prosperan Ministers times six, being in possession, or under the influence of Fantasia, suspicion of Witch-affiliations, and trying to stage a violent coup against Prospera's leadership, and her people.

- For now, the verdict of his crimes remain mere exile, but is very much subject to change for the worse. Vokel Liadan is denounced as a tyrant, and a Fantasia-addict. He is no longer to engage in any business within, or near Prospera.

- In the fighting, Astra Okabe whom assisted Vokel Liadan was captured. He was later seen handed to Gloomlight, presumably for interrogation.

- In the wake of the recent events, Lucky, the Father of Prospera, has come out of retirement to declare a State of Emergency. He intends to return order to the city, with a promise that the mistakes that lead to this tragedy will be corrected, never to be repeated again.

- An official word is made towards all that defended the city against tyranny: 'Your kindness, selflessness, and courage will get the merit it deserves.' An award ceremony is to be held in the near future, thanking those that put their life, and good health on the line.

- Following a tragic incident, and the death of Vel, and Entchen Silvanas, Prospera denounces Merlin Silvanas, and to an extent, the Kingdom of Serenity, citing unjust, and barbaric, trial-less judgement that resulted in death. Following this, the citizen of the Kingdom of Serenity are banned from entry into the city. Claims of Merlin being under the influence of an ancient, magical plague does not help his case...

- After much dallying, a verdict on RISE is finally made. Members of RISE are thus barred from entry to Prospera. The refusal to terminate Fel-aligned members is cited as one of the reasons.

<=o=>


The Kingdom of Fortune: Mercantile Accord!
Aphros / Gloomlight: Valued Customers!
Meranthe In General: Open For Business!
Londo: Tentative Customers.
The Fel & The Dark: Closed For Business.
RISE: Closed For Business.
Kingdom of Serenity: Murderers.

It's been little bit over then a decade since the creation of Serenity. Things changed a lot within the land since then.  

• Under no circumstance, The Fel and it's arts shall be tolered in the Kingdom. Council Member Entchen Silvanas has been executed alongside her riftmancer husband Vel. Before the decision of an execution, the entire case has been researched, Vel has been exposed to use fleshcrafting to re-edefine the very structure of nature in the creations of abominations. So deep onto it's own delusions, that in the end, during their exectuion he choose to turn his own weapon into a mutant that would devour both his own body and the former council woman into a pile of flesh. While there is various indictions of their strange connections, such as the nature of their relationship, the very decision by itself came from the fact that both of them kept a close contact with individuals from the Fel Nations. One of such individuals being Astraeus Hireath, that has been show to have a deep connection with Vel, giving him support on various cases, including even Vel saving him from prison once. While Entchen supported the acts of her husband going against the Silvanas Clan doctrines, she has been know to treat voidic individuals such as Sanctuary in good manners. 
  
  

• An old and secret mission had been assigned to Merlin Silvanas years ago. To prove that Alucard is infact alive and plotting against Prospera using his connections with Vel and Entchen. Since then, the King has made it's decree, a nation wide hunt to capture Alucard Sun. The one who also goes by the alias of 'The Unbroken.', anyone that has caught sight of serenity's prey is encouraged to contact King Silvanas. While it followed by the bounty paper with name of 'Vienna De Zikaru.' after her clash against the commander Merlin Silvanas. 
  

•  Due to the impulsive decision of Merlin Silvanas and the betrayal of Entchen Silvanas. The ruling system of Serenity Dunes has went through some changes, the council system has been completely removed and it's entire system has been shifted to a one man rulership. As a result of such change, Merlin Silvanas has been removed from the council and his powers as a advisor on such subjects has been taken away indefinetly. Though for those claiming Merlin's magical inflictions on things like magical plague. Welcome to do a check up on him within Serenity.
  
  It's even encouraged by the king himself.
  
  

•  Due to the amount of effort, loyalty and time given by Lokhos Silver and Elarian Frostblade, the two have been appointed as the first captains of the Sandstorm Vanguard. Responsible with the teaching of the newer generation alognside with providing support to the kingdom.
  

• During the rescue of Adrian Alintau, the King Silvanas has captured the demon that went by the name of Il'vera, the last spawn of Igor. No more sight has been seen of such beast after that night, the air around Serenity's Dune becoming more and more raspid to those of with fel origins. Clearly, something big is on the way.
  

• With the recent developments army of Serenity finally have a proper name to itself.  'Sandstorm Vanguard' as the warriors and hunters of the Fel. Shaped and inspired through the doctrines of the Silvanas Clan. Following by new set of cloak that is currently in works.
  
  
  

• Since the recent destruction of Eden. Secondary squadron formed under the 'Basil Mooney'. Goes by the name of 'Ascension Division' , responsible for reaching new heights within the tower.  Anyone that is interested in joining and giving assistance is encouraged to reach her.
  

• Words come out of a judgement towards Na'ria, the self-proclaimed former imperfect. The message is clear; The past is not to be forgiven by oneself, but rather by the coordinated forces of Meranthe - And as such, representatives from all nations were requested to attend.
  
• The Aegis military has been restructured, setting up a clear chain of command and establishment of new ranks, with Heimdall Eivorson being appointed as its Lord Commander.
  
• The city expands; What was once just the immediate territory surrounding a fortress now gives way for the lives of civilians and what is hoped to be a long lasting period of peace.
  
• Hostilities between the forces of Bastion and Aegis cease after the decision of holding Na'ria's trial and the banishment of Arlyss, thus solving all the issues between the factions.
  

Over a year has passed since the reclamation of Port Fortune from anarchy by a group of, primarily, Bastion members as led by former knights Mnemosyne and Elizabeth Montelione. Silence reigned in the wake of their victory for a while, only some rumours emerging here and there of the pair speaking to diplomats from the Kingdom of Serenity as well as the Kingdom of Fortune. Eventually, however, news finally spread about…

The inception of something new.

Quote:

What is the Traverse?

The Traverse, a space meant to bridge the worlds of the deep oceans and the surface, as well as the islands and the mainland. Where all those seeking a new home may find refuge, be they not aligned with the Fel or similar entities. Whilst possessing no official state religion, initial colonists hold close to the faith of Athelios, due to origins in Aphros and its ideals. In addition, a special emphasis on ‘Fate’ as it ties to Memoria can often be found in this place. A special, dedicated reverence to spirits of the land is present, to whom respects are paid in offerings and appropriate sacrifices. Though some deities may find themselves lacking in representation due to certain ideals and values espoused, worship of the Pantheon and the Constants is unrestricted.

Ruled jointly by Mnemosyne and Elizabeth Montelione, this new state features joint power between the two, though it is known that Mnemosyne handles many of the more militaristic affairs and matters of the nascent culture and ideology, whilst Elizabeth is known more for foreign affairs and spirituality. Beneath their dual leadership, confidantes and advisers work to assist the Suzerains, though in this period of transition, official titles and positions are still in flux…

• Talks over the purchase of Raven’s Hold have been held with the King of Serenity, Rued Silvanas. Though nothing immediate has been done, the arrangement seems to have been deemed a success. A joint public event is in the works between the two burgeoning settlements.
  
  
• The island, known for the longest time as Port Fortune, is soon to be renamed to avoid confusion and association with the Kingdom of Fortune, though an actual port will be built to carry on the namesake, amongst other changes to infrastructure.
  
  
• Investors and citizens willing to contribute to the newly arisen state are welcome. Building bridges requires many hands. Seek Mnemosyne and Elizabeth Montelione out!
  
  
• Word is spread about an upcoming festival to Fate, an invocation to Memoria to bless the isles with good fortune in the years to come! Seers and fortune tellers curious about helping are encouraged to speak with Elizabeth Montelione.
  
  
• All Sirens are welcome and encouraged to seek out Mnemosyne, if they are interested in the history and legends of their people, as well as contributing to a new home for the Sirenkind in Meranthe. The offer of the knowledge of the oceans and all that dwells within it is extended to all others who may be interested in learning and understanding.
