State of Esshar

[CurledSpiral]

Year 1849 

Torgon has fallen, and with him the old ways of the Shadowmire shift beneath the pressures of a changing world. Internal strife and conflict paralyze the land of monsters for almost two years following the King's death. Yet, within the past few months a new order is being formed as the strongest of the Mire take up the reigns left behind by Torgon.

"The surface can never accept us. It will instead learn to fear that which dwells in the dark."

It is clear from the start that something is changing within those lands. With the rise of its new leadership the raids that
once frequented the Mire's depths have all but ceased. The darkness of those lands obscure how this change was made possible to those beyond it. Perhaps it was strength alone or something more scary to think about.

The Horde which gathered to assail the Dreadwoods and claim its treasures from Asphodel has stalled. There march having ceased as they settle into the old jungles and seem to be awaiting something. Meanwhile, in the far western edge of Esshar the Pauper's Bride has been seen once again. No sirenians can be seen upon the old vessel, however, as a crew of monsters seem to be learning how to sail such a vessel.

• The Mire's leading figure to the outside world is Nanzo the Tyrant.
  
  
• The Cult of Nyx is reforged under Nestis' leadership.
  
  
• The Cult of the Spiral gathers more followers by the night under Dok Zong.
  
  
• The King of Rhymes Rigs takes over the role of Bastion of the Mire.
  
  
• The Forges of the Torkeep have been lit once more as Abe take's over the mantle of Forgemaster.
  
  
• Both Cults seem to have expeditions planned for differing purposes. One faith the other knowledge.
