State of Esshar

[Theori]

1832 AC

"What? The Deep Company are our enemies? Again? Fish really do have short memories..."

ᔸ Following years of speculation that it had been abolished, the Iron Council of Achyon makes its return. Affairs of state shortly resume, with the first official meeting of the council resulting in several passed articles announced by Councilwoman and Synthetic Lucy. Rumours of a failed article abolishing the Commander's veto remain unsubstantiated.

ᔸ The feeding on of Achyon citizens by Vampires regardless of circumstances has been outlawed by the Iron Council upon punishment of fang removal for violators. In circumstances in which the Vampire was the aggressed upon, they are free to defend themselves as necessary, but the explicit feeding on of citizens will result in the same punishment. This has been determined as not applying retroactively.

ᔸ Captain Julius pyr Aertas has been made the official leading General of the continued campaign against the Osronans. The men and women of Achyon's Hand remain stalwart in their intent to see the full conquest of the peninsula 'no matter how desperately the Osronans pray for their blind goddess to save them', reports say. Recruitment is in full swing; embrace your patriotism and join today!

ᔸ The sale of Sylavanum within Achyon remains illegal, despite reports of widespread use of the drug. Furthermore, by rule of the Iron Council of Achyon, individuals discovered selling Sylavanum to military personnel in particular will face greater fines and/or jail time than presently mandated. Military Personnel confirmed to be using Sylavanum risk demotion, suspension of wages, and will be detained in a dry-cell until their addiction is broken. Additionally, random drug testing has been mandated amongst Achyon’s Hand to ensure that the law is adhered to. The announcement is considered a major step towards ensuring maximum discipline in the Achyonian ranks!

ᔸ The Iron Council wishes to make it clear they are still more than willing to negotiate for the release of Sergeant Bianca Ignacio; every citizen of the Empire has value! Osronan High Command is invited to send letters to discuss said negotiations to either Captain Marcel Delisle or Councilwoman Lucy herself, and remind Osrona that -given their reported alignment with the Moxtli- Achyon currently has the Moxtli tribesman named 'Toratori' in custody and may be willing to trade.

 ᔸ Following the announcement of Captain Blight Reave, Achyon officials were reported to remark that this was 'more interesting the last four times the pirates did this' and that any aggression would be met tenfold. If the Deep Company desire conflict, they will have it.

ᔸ The Auction for Radiant Teagan Alankrantz was a rousing success, the Radiant ultimately sold to Titus pyr Aertas. Councilwoman Lucy politely remarked that 'the more Osrona shows how little it values its Knights, the harder it is to take them seriously as an actual threat'.
