"My fellow Therians.

 

Since the very birth of Theria, covetous forces have sought to claim its mighty, and damn near-impenetrable mountains. They have all failed. Today, we are confronted with a menace. A menace that has used everything in its power to justify taking what is most dear to us: Our Freedom. This enemy is none other than the one who currently sits on the throne, surrounded by opportunistic fiends and sycophants that wish only to gain from the blood of their own and our people.

 

Osrona is not our enemy. The Church is not our enemy. The First Light isn’t our enemy. The King and his legion of advisers is our sole enemy. A man ready to see the whole world burn to secure his rule. Had we not complied with their demands when we, with great reluctance, outcasted Duana Kurokaiyo to save the many? And yet the gears of war were still turning at full speed. Had it not been for Myllenoris’ refusal to fight an offensive war, we’d be having Osrona at our doorsteps.

 

A world with this current King is a world where Theria will forever be in peril. And for that, it has been decided that Theria WILL be aiding Myllenoris in this offensive. Our goal is to simply remove the current government in Osrona. Because I truly believe the citizens of the empire wish for peace. I sincerely believe, with all my heart, that most Osronans wish only to live in harmony with the Dragons in the north.

 

But I also wholeheartedly believe these people are slaves to their comfort. To the simple life of following royalty’s orders with rationalisations born out of intangible and irrelevant concepts to our current lives. It comes down to us, Therians, to LIBERATE these people of this oppressive force. If not for them, then for us, because it is more than clear that they hunger for our Flame as well.

 

To Osronans who have had enough: Lower your blades. Or point them to the man who obligates you to fight for his own, personal cause. Stand for your freedom, and Theria will stand with you. We don’t even ask for the head of the King, merely his removal. A far more merciful choice than the one we had been given.

 

May the Flame Guide you All." -General Alya Kriemhild

 

-General Alya Kriemhild has officially declared Theria position in the war. Myllenoris will be receiving aid from the Nation of the Free in a temporary military pact. Therians are encouraged to join and help in the war effort, but the freedom of choice always remains available to them.

 
-Dragonlord Sythaeryn has stepped down from his position after a bout with Dragonlord Rinn. The latter being currently dedicating her efforts in more obscure matters, little comment has been made about the situation by the General yet.
 
-With Dragonlord Rinn’s change of priorities, Yani orn Task has been given a temporary Warlord seat in the council, serving as a voice in her stead. With the dwindling council, a search for new occupants for the seats is rumoured to start soon, although there doesn’t seem to be any intentions of lowering the standards to accommodate the situation.
 
-An inordinate amount of resources and strange materials have been continuously delivered to many of Apep’s labs. Along with the constant streams of individuals getting their blood tested and various other experiments occurring, the backpack marshmallow seems to be gathering more individuals for something yet mostly unknown.
 
-The Drakanite Skadi, once exiled by Theria for defection and treason, has been executed in Myllenoris for spying. Her husband, Demios Arborea, has been accepted back into the community and has been seen assisting Apep in one of her grand projects.
 
-The Hunter’s Lodge, a unique group of people seeking to hunt monsters throughout Esshar, is currently on the prowl for potential Golems and Automatons. If anyone is interested in the Guild and their activities, feel free to contact Ezekiel Morgan.
