Quote:
We seek those who will stand beside us when the winds turn cold and the world calls for strength. We do not dilute our fire—we share it, to burn brighter against the darkness which lurks.

ᛟ Under a radical proclamation, the Queen has declared that public worship of Enarr & Ualdir is strictly forbidden within Altharim’s walls. An open edict stating the crimes of both gods against mortals & primordials alike. It appears that since this proclamation relations with Enos were strained for a short period before leveling out again. It seems that room for growth is possible for the Enarrans that seek to change the teachings of their god. Time will tell how this affects Altharim’s views.

ᛟ Long term prisoner, Boushi, has been executed after breaking her sentence by tampering with her collar making it inactive within the territory of Viritas shortly after the Delphina & Viritas battle. Per her own admission to ranked officials of Altharim she was aiding and abetting Varrach the God Killer. With her coming of age and having spat on the merciful redemption she was offered, her life comes to an end. Death rites of Koretheia & Caius have laid her to rest. Through death, does her soul find redemption finally.

ᛟ The Vassal, Moth Industries, has vacated the territory of Nihil after discussion with the Lumin King of Delphina. Moth Industries has consolidated into Altharim and as a result started to show signs of magitech advancement across weaponry and armor of its Paladin’s.

ᛟ Under the cover of fog, Altharim made an attack on the Kingdom of Nilhirra in an attempt to free the enslaved nameless children. Sthenno released the collars of the children upon request, with death threats slung from both sides and tensions rising the children fought alongside their once slavers. Their minds seemingly lost to that of the Circle as far as anyone present could tell. Reports of Sthenno proclaiming that he will bring destruction to Meranthe as a whole. Recent investigation has found that the children of Nilhirra who have always been natives to the island wish to stay in their homes, to keep their families safe who are held against their wills. They will not abandon their family that are held hostage leaving only one path forward to save them. May the freedom of Nilhirra come swiftly.

ᛟ Surras the Witch engineer was captured by King Za’agan Sun in the wilds. Soon after a group of ambushers led by Morrigan Shadecrest and Lyam M. Hiraeth attempted to capture both monarchs to free her. Through coordination with Goddesses Vinaska and Koretheia, Surras is currently under a redemption program in Arcadia. Within two short years, Surras failed her redemption and was transferred back to Goldlight for soul purification via the goddess Vinaska.

ᛟ Any questions and prods that are given to Altharim about the Queen’s sudden change into a human are only met with a single response. “Caius is a funny god.”

ᛟ A few short weeks before the encroaching war, both monarchs were witnessed going into a private trial with leadership of Goldlight. Reports that Za’agan Sun went under a trial of truth via former Captain-General Grey Aundeoth regarding the Coven of Denath. After three days of investigations and a Divine Rite of Truth performed by the goddess Vinaska, Za’agan Sun was immolated to his end. Despite this, relations between the Republic and Altharim seem to continue positively for the most part. A statement is released by the Queen; “Many rumors have been spread by our enemies in an attempt to cut off allies from being gained for the war. My husband was not a witch. Attempts at espionage led him into a situation that could have been avoided but unfortunate decisions and miscalculations were made by both of us that ultimately led to his death. It is my intention to redeem how Meranthe views Altharim. While we may have unconventional methods, our intentions have always been to unite Meranthe against the Fel forces. Despite our lack of official support, we will continue to fight alongside those who doubt us.”

ᛟ In a test of perseverance, Altharim faced off against four Fel nations at their home’s borders from all sides. While seemingly left in the dark with no aid from all governments across Meranthe, the small city of unity received aid from individuals all over Meranthe. Being led to victory by valiant warriors such as Paladin Sterling Ryder and the aid of Mikael Richter of Goldlight. Several prisoners of war have been taken on both sides, notably; Valdis Hiraeth, Sorchaei, & Saige Stormheart. Within the battle it was revealed that Ibuki has been a captive long term by Altharim. A statement is released from the acting Queen; “To everyone who defended our nation, we will be forever grateful. Should you ever be in need you may call upon us.”

ᛟ A Celebration of Life for King Za’agan Sun & Saige Stormheart will be held in the coming year (announcement soon to follow). Games with prizes, prayer rites, food and drink will be provided. A great celebration is what they would have wanted to rejoice in the defense of Altharim and protection of Za’agan’s legacy.
