State of Meranthe

[Cloutio2x]

2121AC - Eight Years into the Yuhiko Period.

The village of Xuefeng has risen, fell, and risen again, as their populace went into panic the day of a rare defeat during the Joint offense of Aegis, and Xuefeng. Miyuhiko as a youth rose to the occasion, pushing away some, and inspiring others as they began to take on the burden of responsibility due to the Shogun's absence. Times were harsh, but with the help of the wonderful Qiu Zaiqiang, Fengjixan settlers, and the mighty Magical beast Yaggrin they've managed to sustain a healthy village.

- With his valiant efforts Ou Ken has risen to the rank of Hatamoto graduating from Samurai and earning his sect glory for the coming centuries. He now leads an army of proud Bushi, Goshi, and Gokenin warriors.

- Xuefeng is being ran by Lord Regent Miyuhiko Shinjitsu, and their right hand and advisor Qiu Zaiqiang. The Shogun while absent, still retains his power if he ever wishes to challenge the Regent, but as it stands the Regent's word is final.

- The spiritual activity has been growing in the city, rumors say that the bell that once called upon malicious spectral horrors has been rung again. No one is sure, save for those that remain in office, strangely enough the citizens appear to be fine. The shrine within the lands seems to be the source of all of this commotion. It is advised that you do not enter without permission from the Regent themselves.

- Citizens have mixed feelings with the amount of magical creature activity that has only seemed to rise as Miyuhiko took over. Some are worried as now, abominations, and failed experiments seem to be sneaking out into the world. Just what are those people researching there? Sources say that the Regent is trying to develop biological weapons of mass destruction. More patrotic folk champion this idea, and have even begun offering magicial beast fragments, cores, demon bodies, or even their own all for this strange research.

- Cultivation is at an all time high, as the Fengjixan settlers have fully cemented their stay. The Uncles Qian Jie, and Xiao Long hold unfathomable knowledge and can be contacted for more insight on the practice of Cultivation. Senior Huang is still unable to be heard as their dao is on a level undocumented.

- The laws of the occult have been slightly altered, the magic can be displayed within the walls of Xuefeng so long as you are registered. Non native occultists will be immediately collared upon entry without the proper registration. See: Qiu Zaiqiang for more details. The Lord Regent values their peace of mind, and if you disrupt the peace the ultimate price is paid in full.

- Worship of the Rain and Thunder Dragon Shenlong has taken a more organized form under Qiu Zaiqiang, those willing to learn about this sect are encouraged to reach out to him. Rumors say that there is a sermon to be held soon.

- Travelers are to arrive soon, bringing forth more religions and activity to Xuefeng, stay tuned!
