State of Meranthe

And so the hands of time continue on their endless march.
As do we yet continue, ever in search of her traces; those fragments of beauty
reminders of her gentle mercy.
Let Viritas be ever a haven to those who desire expression.
Yet forget not the temperance of a guiding hand.
- Sable Zho, The Viceroy

• With the entering of a new age for Viritas comes word of change from within the bustling and growing town. A change of leadership appears to have occurred. Following injuries sustained on an expedition, the Lady Curator, Beatrice A. Okabe (formerly known as Artemiss) has since begin to slip from the public eye, being sighted less and less frequently, likely recovering.
  
• In this change, Sable Zho has been named Viceroy of Viritas; assuming control of administrative duties for the territory, and serving as second-in-command. Matters of diplomacy can now be forwarded to him via letter or other means of communication.
  
• With his first decree as Viceroy, Zho has declared that all inactive council members who still reside within Viritas must petition him or be stripped of their titles following the turn of the next year, in favor of finding proper successors to aid in the management of the settlement.
  
• During the Curator's expedition, the Guardian of Viritas, Aqualyn sacrificed their life. In honor of them, a yearly holiday has been declared to immortalize the beauty of their memory.
  
• The Pit for Blood Arts is officially open and will serve as the focal point for a ritual to rid the lands of the corruption which remains as a scar from the Sage of Ruin's efforts.
  
• The Pit will also be used to host an event for those whose art is martial in nature sometime in the future. (TBD)
  
• Rumor spreads of a spirit of ink who has been spotted in and about Viritas, seen travelling the roads and engaging in wayward skirmishes with beasts.

While Viritas' policy of neutrality remains ever enforced, word spreads that the newly-appointed Viceroy is looking to deepen connections with the other nations of Meranthe. Those interested are welcome to seek an audience or otherwise arrange a meeting. Additionally, the ban on the practice of Necromancy or Witchcraft upon the citizenry of the territory remains upheld.
