State of Esshar

[Mouse]

1757 AC

“Progress over Morality. That is what we teach in the Motherland.”

The flags and banners that Osrona once flew are torn down, shredded. Once a Shimmering City, but no longer apt in that name. A once noble and proud city, now replaced with a model of progress and industrialization. The City of Rust.

⚙In a showcase at Osrona’s factory, it was revealed that Osrona now possessed the technology required to cage and cause demons to heel. This technology possessed enough strength to bend a demon’s very will to the magi whom was controlling it, forcing them to obey a single command. Predictably, this ended as one would expect- With the demons lashing out, and inevitably getting run out of Osrona proper. Though no official declaration of war is made, it’s very clear on Osrona’s stance in the future when it comes to dealing with these beasts.

-

⚙In a move completely unprecedented in Osrona’s history, the City has now, entirely, and officially, given itself over to Barsburg. A strike force of the machine launched mechanized magitech armored suits into the heart of the city, while ground soldiers stormed the gates and the docks.. But, surprisingly, were merely let in unharmed. After a brief period of tension, the city has officially buckled and kneeled, and is now part of the larger Machine proper, with Tanya pyr Volkova revealing herself as being sent from Barsburg nearly nine years ago, succeeding entirely on letting the Machine infiltrate Osrona.

-

⚙In accordance with the above, the Military of Osrona has changed to better represent these happenings. Instead of the Authority existing as the singular entity, there are now a set of four Captains whom control different aspects within the city, but are all expected to rise to normal military duties. These four captains and their platoons are:

-

Misha’s Authority; Polices citizens and serves as Walter’s personal guard.

.

Yarrow’s Iron Reavers: Primarily focuses on R&D and the invention of new tools in the Empire.

.

Kirill’s Diamond Eagles: A frontline force focused primarily on the subjugation and capture of demons.

.

Volyn’s Clockwork Hounds; The military police force, focusing on ensuring Barsburg customs are upheld within the other platoons and amidst soldiers.

.

The Machine slowly begins to settle itself into Osrona properly, with all of the citizens now being expected to follow the rules and regulations set forth by the Empire. Whether or not this goes peacefully or the once Shimmering City rebels is uncertain, but with both Walter and Tanya sharing the same sentiments.. Barsburg appears to have cemented itself, finally, in this area of Esshar.
