State of Meranthe

[Nailman]

2001 AC

The Asperan Church and the Bastion uphold law and order, and so we have done today. Let this be enough to quell the minds of the uneasy and the restless.

• An assassination attempt was made on the nobleman Darius Kallis in the center of the town's square.
  
• A fight broke out in the castle of Aphros after an assassination attempt. After it, the dissidents Sozha, Rose, Adam & Nereus were expelled from the city, three of them suffering losses.
  
• In order to eliminate dissent and establish order, Knight Captain Hadrian Dominic has established Martial Law upon Aphros until the finding of a new Oracle.
  
• Said Martial Law establishes that the command of the city lies under the rule of both Aphros' Bastion and the Church of Aspera, serving as local authorities, with Captains Vaelrun Emris and Hadrian Dominic at the helm.
  
• Additionally, Aphros enters a proper state of war against Delphina, even if offensives are not declared yet.
  
• The trial of the Crown continues, with the journey to Athelios' realm still to go underway. In time a new Oracle shall rise.
  
• Knight Captain Vaelrun Emris executed one of Misfortune's pets, releasing a demon upon the castle. Said demon has been executed, but the Primordial's eyes seem to loom over the city.
  
• There is an active, ongoing witch hunt effort. Information has been gathered and further is requested from all available sources, likely spurred on by the recent attacks.
  
• As a final note, military and civilian personnel are told to wander in groups of two or, preferrably, three or more whenever they must leave the city's bounds.
  
• Any faceless in service of the city, wherever they may lurk, are recommended to prepare reports for when the Oracle is named in the coming days.
  

"To the Cultist of the False Divinity, know that with the valiant efforts of the Church and the Astral Knights to keep the peace- myself and my Umbra Knights shall stop at nothing to see you brought low.

The Lord of Duality watches our efforts keenly and there is no doubt in my heart of his support in this most holy of missions. For the magics you dabble in, we shall be the vessel through which our Lord's Wrath is delivered unto you.

To the Heretical Champion, know that I will find you. I will bring you low with the very flames your Master's pathetic vermin attempted to slay me with and make you repent for the dishonor you have committed to the Cosmos."

- Captain Emris, Demonslayer
