2139 AC
A hooded figure begins to drag a corpse into the bowels of the fortress. A short time later they emerge with a nightmare creature, which scurries off into the night.
Gemini takes off their hood, revealing the white-haired witch Viola.
Quote:"Work. Work. Work. It's all I do. I am only one person, yet there's so much to be done. I serve you faithfully. I am the wind beneath your wings. However, Can't I indulge a bit? I want a spa. Maybe a cute boy to rub my feet. Win or lose, we need structure. A place for potential to be cultivated. I shall do so, Lord Supreme. Leave it to me."
Viola takes command of the Fortress for the purposes of development and management, still under The Supreme of the Coven, Etriath.
The Crescent Fortress and it's Atrellyan inhabitants have began to see a revival. Lately the Fortress has been buzzing with activity. As the main force rages across the land? Demons arrive out of rifts during the battle, stealing and plundering the dead. Corpses, weapons, armor, items, anything of value is taken and brought to the isle. Even gravesites are not sacred.
All of it is brought through the rift, and used for materials.
More demons.
More undead.
More manpower.
The turning point for the Fortress seems to the rebuilding of the isle. Witches spread to the edges, doing rituals for various purposes. Reinforcing. More development. In return those who are denizens of the dark receive invitations from undead who arrive in the night. All while Merenthe struggles with the main force and it's losses.
Mercenaries.
Necromancers.
Demons.
Even Magical Beast.
Quote:"Come to the Isle. Those of you who are shunned by the pantheon shall be welcome in our new land. Come and bring tribute to our new settlement and we shall welcome you. Those who help in development shall be rewarded. Come and build your Dreamland. Viola is willing to speak."
- The Crescent Isle begins not only restoration of it's Keep and walls, but also development of further buildings using plunder from the invasion.
- Viola known previously as Gemini, is currently leading development, inviting those who wish to contribute to do so. All who are rejected by Merenthe shall find a place here, so long as the tribute is enough.
- Additionally, more and more demons and undead seem to pour out from the Keep, while the witches slowly continue to increase in number.
- Odd rituals are seen by plenty of spies along the outskirts of the isle, the purposes unknown.
