"Seeds grow into trees, and trees disperse further seeds, which in turn grow into more trees.
Rapid expansion is the natural order, and us beings with souls are merely following suit."

The changing of the seasons is a natural occurrence which can be observed in most parts of the world. Meranthe in particular is known for its long seasons, and this can be reflected in its culture; other cycles which have naturally sprung up, such as the changing over of power, have on occasion been tethered to the natural passage of time.

Yet those most inclined towards nature whom rest within the bosom of its soils have sought to expedite one such cycle, acquiescing that they must bend tradition in part to see a solitary leader stand at the helm of the settlement. Following a referendum, those most noble Faeborne who call Dal'thala their home have decided to unveil early the will of Delphina's former Monarch, the Good King Alfellen, and see the named heir ascend to the throne, guiding the nation's future.

Thus was the Twilight Gala hosted. Amidst ever mounting tensions betwixt it and other nations over towers and land, Kitchi Foisantte, head of the Foisantte Court, has been coronated as Queen of Delphina, solidifying the expansionist policy she kicked off as the woodland nation's future.

In response to the demands to tear down the tower or face war with Vdalion, the new Queen's decision has been rendered explicit not by words, but by action. Money has been pooled from all over Delphina, pulled willingly from the Houses and their patrons alike, to be able to scarcely afford their retort.

A small mining town has emerged around the watchtower most contentious.

It has already been christened in the blood of war.

❀ Lady Kitchi Foisantte has been declared Queen of Delphina at the recent Twilight Gala, as willed by King Alfellen, who reigned before her.

❀ Lady Elanil Caewynn has been named Commander of the Elzara and thus head of Delphina's military.

❀ Lady Moenie Foisantte has assumed the seat of Matron of the Foisantte Court in light of Kitchi Foisantte's ascension to Monarch.

❀ Gestalt has been named as Crown's Thorn, personal bodyguard and sworn protector of the Queen of Delphina.

❀ The small mining town of Elmyra has been established; the land is cleared and boundaries are demarcated by wooden stakes and statues to Nemea. Construction of buildings is underway.

❀ Ormici, Queen of the Greathive, has been granted purview over Elmyra, with the hivekin to ensure that those hostile to Delphina are unable to plunder its resources.

❀ The warnings of Vdalion have been ignored, and as such the giant's declaration of war has been ratified.
