State of Meranthe

[Milly]

2148AC

In the aftermath of the unsuccessful attempt to destroy Atrellya’s remaining Crescent Fortress within Meranthe, the forces of the Republic as well as their allies are ultimately forced to retreat. Upon the battlefield several significant battles occurred, and several significant losses were incurred as well.

Whatever happened between the Oracle of Athelios and Varrach the Revenant of Ragnarok, is kept to hushed secrecy. Whispers flood the public however as peasants, the common soldier and non-magi alike are always willing to gossip: some claim the Imperfect nearly did something devastating to the Equisol’s mind. Others claim his soul was scorched from the Death Magi.

Regardless of it, he refuses to speak of it publicly.

◊ The capture of their Pontifice, and the first Arcanist, Loramelian Ueda, sends shockwaves rippling through the Republic and most notably Gloomlight. Rumors swirl that it’s made the Oracle notably less even headed and far more vicious in his dealings.

◊ The construction of a statue that properly pays homage and service to Athelios has been erected at the behest of the Penumbra of the Asperan Church, Jaizara Sulibella. Accompanying the finalization of it, a sermon was conducted discussing the tenets of Athelios. For those interested in the faith, speak to Jaizara to join.

◊ Word on the street claims the Oracle is currently seeking out Priests dedicated to both Chireus and Ualdir. Nephilim are acceptable just as well, however. If interested, flyers have encouraged those in question to reach out to Thomas Equisol.

◊ Prior to the advance upon Atrellya’s remnants, notable Secretary to the Oracle, Miriam Equisol, has stepped down in favor of her daughter. The Oracle’s own daughter, Tanya Equisol now stands in the position, filtering out the requests and complaints of the common man and ensuring the Oracle receives the news that’s most important for running the realm.

◊ While the current Treasurer, Edwyn Meeksworth, attempted to reform the taxation system within the Grove, this resulted in an uprising of merchants and a small skirmish took place. Promptly, at the Oracle’s behest, the taxation system has returned to how it’s previously been. However this has impacted the market by itself, as well as the fact that ore has become far more pricier to get. Will it eventually correct itself?

◊ Gloomlight is continuing to take donations from those interested in seeing it succeed further. They’re already one third of the way to cementing their borders further outwards! Donate today!

◊ As always, the Bastion is recruiting. Speak to Commander Justia, Astra Captain Nix Bargiel, or Umbra Captain Lyco S. Corbin to join!
