State of Esshar

[Tattles]

MYLLENORIS
-1747-

After three years of quiet peace and operation, Myllenoris begins to shuffle and shift with news coming from its central tower once again as tensions across Esshar boil over. The High Lord makes a speech before his people with the intention to allow transcripts to make their way across the land to those interested in its contents.

I am disappointed.

What many do not know is that Asta Hargrave's motivations were fueled by a desire to save humanity from itself.

My predecessor could not find it within her heart to trust man, for in her experience, hearts of flesh and blood were too vulnerable to greed, to prejudice, to vengeance, to hate.

I am disappointed that I vouched for mankind and that I insisted to trust them.

But disappointment does not mean condemnation.

Myllenoris' stance has been public and clear ever since the War of Crowns came to its end;

Alexander Petrakis' life was bought by the blood spilled in the streets.

His sins were washed away in a balancing that I hope to never see again.

It is for this reason that the Valeborne have never sought to harm Nysea, and I have made it plain to both the King and his people that so long they do not intend to place Alexander back upon the throne in the east, then I do not see a problem with his reign continuing in the west.

To this end, the Valeborne have orders to leave Osrona at last.

We have a greater enemy to turn our attention to, and if we must defend mankind's right to wage war on itself, then that is what we will do.

I call out now to any who would take up arms against the abominations in the woods.

I invite all who would hunt the scattered members of the Coven to join me in my kingdom.

We will not rest until Nebula Lockwood's 'remnants' have been reduced to puddles,

or frozen statues.

(High Lord Finn Ghede)

The remaining Valeborne and Teraphim forces that have slowly been decreasing in number over the years are finally and completely pulled from Osrona's walls where they are returned to their home.
Myllenoris makes preparations not to intervene upon the coming conflict unless any of its previous expectations are broken.

However, Myllenoris does not go without change or activity.
The city itself has reported an overgrowth of the forests within its constructed borders. The Vale's mists now extend throughout the streets on most nights, its influence now felt not only within the secluded, inner woods, but outward as well.

Talk of an official Demon Hunting focused wing of the Valeborne is in the works.
(OOC: More information to come soon)

In some news that had gone unannounced, Rolim Seira, Tieru Avlee, and Agate were all promoted to Mistseers to join the High Lord's Council, and Amalia Ghede, the Lady Consort of Myllenoris, underwent the Rite of the Chrysalis.
