State of Meranthe

[Shanal]

 2121 AC

"A trial you wailed for... a trial you now witness.

The abominations before you—they are for whom you bled, the cause for which you suffered, and the scourge you harbored, for whom you fell.

Behold the harvest of your charge."

The meadows of the west lay scorched and ignited beneath the pyres of Northern march, yet it is Aegis that stands triumphant, with warriors of azure and gold invading Arcadia in ever-greater numbers, culminating in the utter and complete subjugation of the city. The words spread akin to wildfire, whispering both of the outcome and the events that unfolded in its wake.

• The artificial creations, Caelizia and Pyrmetius, were seized in the wake of the assault and brought before the Exarch in its immediate aftermath, to be judged and trialed in the presence of both Aegis and Arcadia alike. Deemed to bear the taint of undeath and chaos by the Illuminated Chancellor, the pair was sentenced to death and executed forthwith.
  

• The city of Arcadia has been vassalized by the Empire of Aegis, with troops stationed along its every perimeter and corner. The Nephilim of Pylae, Iaoel Ealtew, was stripped of all power and influence within the ranks; whereas Phosphene and her cohorts have been declared outlaws, banished from the settlement and hunted alike. A governance is announced to be instituted in the weeks and months to follow, with the establishment of new wardens under Aegis' rule. The Exarch assures the preservation of Arcadia's identity and urges the faithful and the citizens to remain, for those who fought for a fractured city shall continue to do so as it mends, yet the choice remains their own.
  

• With the establishment of Katryovno Dryden as the Director of the Proto Institute, and the united military effort of the Citadel and Frontier, the distant alliances only strengthen further.
  

• Amidst the triumphs of battle and their own feats, Haoran Lam and Lion W. Folhammar have been anointed as Sentinels of Aegis, serving directly under its commander.
  

• The militia stands bolstered, a stark contrast to the desolation left in the wake of the Gloomlight assault, with warriors enlisting in greater numbers and a more structured worship of Ymir and Enarr emerging in recent times. The Empire of Aegis only extends its influence, ever expanding.
