State of Esshar

[Nep]

"...Uh, see. Everyone else was asleep when I started writing this. So. Here's a picture of me in my nice, soft throne."

The Dragonlord's only direct, non-paraphrased comment is snide and kind of childish. It's clearly meant to strike nerves.

"So I'd put an iconic sort of quote here, a statement to head decrees and speak to the world at large, but Osrona and Myllenoris don't really tend to listen to what I have to say.

Hi Penelope! Send a letter sometime."

- The Bold Strategy, The Next Move

It isn't kept quiet at all. Dragonlord Rinn has let most of the city, and thus most of those willing to hear rumors beyond it, know that she intends to DESTROY the bridge that so closely connects the base of Theria's mountain to the outskirts of Osrona's walls and road system of old, breaking their means to the mines and cave so close by, well-known to the far swamps, severing that to a quarter of the entire landmass, nearly! Who knows when this attack will take place, but surely it will be sooner than Osrona is allowed to fully recover from their own failed siege, yes...?

She insists. Soon.

What's rumored to follow is construction to reshape the known means to travel the lands in compensation, ease of access for Theria and Ilburg to meet. But the what, and where of that is much more undecided and murmured, with talks of 'bridges' and 'islands' and 'wait until the war is over'...

-  A Grander Place To Worship... or More?

The young Dragonlord also spreads proud rumors of a grand construction to be brought into it's beginning visionary stages, a mass temple, a holy grounds for Garljing and all dragonkind across an untapped expanse far beyond the reach of any other civilization that tucks deep into the frigid expanse of previously uncolonized tundra plateau. But insist, she does, that this is a project once Therian lands are properly secured from expansionist desires.

- The Status Quo of Inevitable Diplomacy

No update needed, insists the Dragonlord, on the relations between Theria and Ilburg. In response to Osrona and Myllenoris' constant need to reaffirm their own alliance every few months, the young Dragonlord insists basically the exact same thing is obligatory, that not only should these two other nations' best interests be mutually inclusive indefinitely, but that Theria will have a larger presence in Ilburg military excursions(if so desired, love u Ilburg) on even the offensive! This discredits the previous statements of intending to keep this agreement solely defensive in the face of The Osro-Mylle concordant. After all, the enemy have clearly drawn their lines in the sand and refused to negotiate, even after tough and bloody losses!

- An Exemplar Recognized

With the recent departure of well-known city mainstay Gwyn, Captain of Knight Templars, the position is taken up by Magne Kriemhild, already shown valorant in defense of the city. Details are scarce as to the reasons for the departure of the former. The Fireblooded burn strong with pride, and worship throughout the city is seeing widespread support, holidays and penta-anual festivals in discussion to be established in commemoration of the freedoms protected in the most recent battle.
