The Shimmering City of Magic:

1812 AC

The Second Dawn Order garrisons the Starfall Territory soon after claiming the island. Victorious, however not without loss. The notable casualty being Blue Lion Guild Leader Sol Albright.

Whatever amalgamation of cultures and projects started on the island by Moxtli and those who inhabited it prior is mostly stripped away. The Tribes military outpost replaced with the prestigious defenses of Osronan knights.

On their advance to the island territory, The Faith follows them, spread either by word of mouth or by construction of chapels. Despite the clear signs of Osronan religion now on Starfall Island, the Irradiated Shrine is left untouched. Perhaps a sign of inclusion. After all it is the only Osronan territory that allows worship of another religion.

Once more does the leader of the city, Amori, speak.

I'll make this very clear, Moxtli. Do not slander God, the Church or our beloved Stellus.


Osrona. Hold your heads high knowing we won a battle, not against another civilisation but against people operating with no rhyme or reason. No principles or convictions.

Our victory was not without sacrifice however. We lost Sol Albright, a man that preferred words over bloodshed and yet was still the first in battle to defend his home.
As such, with this territory claimed in Osrona's great name, it will be returned to what it should be. A haven for words.

Where Baleford is the bridge of trade and commerce between Osrona and the far western coast of the country, Starfall Island will be the link of diplomacy between nations.

Haruki Taiyang will act as it's warden, to help oversee future summits and maintain the reprieve from war. To ensure we don't find ourselves in this situation again, the territory will no longer be exchanged between hands under the false guise of neutrality.
Instead it will permanently remain under the benevolent protection of Osrona and her allies.

Now I want to speak more personally.

Growing up I had always heard Osrona fondly called the Shimmering City. It never felt that way to me. I always felt like it could be more especially because of the destruction left by the Black Winter.

That was until our victory at Starfall. We've not only maintained our sovereignty, we've defeated each of our enemies and emerged stronger because of it.
As such, I have no doubt in my heart.

Under my reign we will make Osrona the Shimmering City once more.

The wealth collected from each of Osrona's territories is distributed among it's city-state. Instead of forsaking the common folk for technological advancement or military gain, the Archmagi has shown his priorities lie in increasing the quality of life for his people.

The olden walls and structures are reinforced to make the city and its direct allies truly worthy of it's name as a prosperous, shining city.
