1921AC
"During the acropolis' golden years, Owls roosted in its rafters.
They were believed to be able to see in the darkest of nights,
not because of their eyes, but the light they held within."
It's in the afterglow of militarized success, and through the thick of it, that Osrona suffers its greatest losses to date. The Pauper King is felled by a friend of his youth while saving the Dragonslaying champion's life. Unrest settles in, the vacuum of power demanding there to be a new inheritor to the crown.

The strength of the Kingdom is perched upon the latter generation: its sword represented by the wielder of Balmung, a relic of legend said to be cursed; its shield through the grandchild of a traitor made stellus; its body and soul cast on a physician once paralyzed from the waist down.
The walls cave in, the wicked and ghoulish drawing a fair line of depravity around Osrona while it flattens down to its most fragile state in decades. In spite of it, the city takes action without reproach. With its streets clean of cultism through vigilantism, a Crusade launched to diminish the threats that ail it from abroad and outside.
Despondency had set the stage for heroism... or cowardice.

♦ Under Faustus' command, Osrona successfully marches upon the Shadowlands, setting up an outpost directly outside of the Dreadwoods in anticipation of a siege.
♦ With Mani Gardios' retirement come early, Silvia akh Pelleaux II takes over Stellus duties. She promptly claims that the Church would be sponsoring the crusades.
♦ After an altercation outside the Tomb of Heroes' memorial entrance, Crownsguard Acacio ven Astor and King Faustus rei Pelleaux are killed in battle by Marie. The Owl's identity is revealed as being Prince Merlin during the effort to rescue them, yet the attempt is unsuccessful and the latter is left within inches from death.
♦ In spite of the former altercation, Osrona proves successful in repelling the Naysienite attack upon their foothold on Tarian, the children of the Dragonslayer leading the defense.
♦ Upon recovery, Merlin - youngest child to Claudia rei Pelleaux and Isenhardt rei Petrakis - is named the new King of Osrona.
♦ Without delay upon the coronation, and with the ball on their court, the kingdom of magic launches a counter-offense on the Ebonblooded, a sophomore attempt to destroy the spire of Naysien and uncloud the northern skies.
