State of Esshar

[Simple]

Invasion of Osrona
1827 A.C.

Word quickly spreads throughout Esshar that Osrona was invaded directly by Achyon's Hand, led by Commmander Ryker pyr Docro. The assailing force utilized rift magic to siphon through several regiments of soldiers, which then took advantage of the chaos and pandemonium to lay waste to the Shimmering City itself. Their goal was the capture of Isana pyr Aertas, and the subsequent capture of any Osronan who resisted their attempt.

Prior to the cleansing of Isana, the infamous outlaw Bruno pyr Aertas used the cover of invisibility to launch a surprise attack upon the woman, defeating and capturing her in the process. As Achyon's forces arrived, however, it became quite clear that there was no easy exit. He was defeated and captured by a combined effort of Julius pyr Aertas and Xenia pyr Docro, with the Commander inflicting the fatal blow thereafter.

Clashes rang throughout the city, as the Order, Faith, and allies of Osrona rallied together to stave off the assailing parties. Though losses were suffered, the combined might of Osrona's populace was enough to push Achyon back, thwarting their attempted invasion and abduction.

As Achyon began to make its retreat, Niffty executed Dallan in front of the Osronan forces. As she attempted to secure his body, however, Alistair ven Pelleaux drove the razuka back.

After witnessing the death of a comrade, friend, and devout of Eos- the people of Osrona lifted the lifeless body of Dallan and made way to the Church, led by the Stellus and renowned White Mage, Geztelle ven Pelleaux. Those in attendance were instructed to pour their energy into the woman, as she attempted to pinpoint his soul and ferry him back to his own body.

Beyond the roof of the church and the open glass window, a beam of light connected those present there to the heavens briefly, many of which gave their life energy-- several coming to the brink of death, and perhaps leaving with an understanding of the cosmos and all that connects in the aftermath. Those nearby could swear they heard the most beautiful song, like a violin melody played by divine hands, soothing to the soul.

Geztelle, combined with the aid of those who sacrificed, was able to revive the fallen Dallan, though it came at great cost to those around herself. Many of which were permanently injured, within inches of death, and Geztelle's connection to her own magic had been severed in its entirety, mana circuitry ruptured.

A display of heroism, divinity performed on this day. A combined effort on behalf of all of Osrona, led by the Stellus, to restore life to a friend and ally.
