State of Meranthe

[Nailman]

2002 AC

A new Oracle has been crowned. By his hand, the will of Athelios shall be done; By Enarr's grace, he shall lead us to glory.

All hail the new Oracle, Vaelrun Emris.

• The Oracle of Athelios was crowned with the final say after a tied vote by Raphael the Fair, naming Vaelrun Emris as the Herald of Duality for the years to come.
  
• Aphros' Bastion sees it's numbers surge with the actions taken by the Men-at-Arms and Knights that march to see the hallow lands of Meranthe saved from the abomination and the heretic, and Orexius Walt was named Knight Captain of Umbra given the previous' ascension.
  
• The Church of Aspera sees its roots digging deeper into the lands. While the noble houses fall or stagnate in favor, the soldiers of the Church are launching independent campaigns to fight against all which goes against the will of the Divine, with rumors speaking of Necromancers as their first targets due to the taking of a life from their ranks, as well as welcoming new faithful.
  
• After the failed razing of Elmyra, the Oracle sought to bring forth funding to give back to the realm proper. With the assistance of Gellena Varis and the commerce of the Realm itself- a hundred thousand coins is being spent to build schools within the city! For the young and faithful, the word of the Watcher at the World's Edge shall be preached and the non-magi and magi alike shall learn of their place as the defender of the cosmic balance.
  
• Alongside the building of schools, The Bastion finds itself receiving additional funding to begin constructions around the city proper in the form of brilliant walls that fly the banners of the realm.
  
• With the recent mutterings of the heretical followers of Ozmandius Tal rising, a Watchtower was recently erected in the Shadowlands to keep an eye on whatever threat may move from such. This Tower was funded by the Proto Institute and it's Director Acantho. Whisperings of this institution receiving offical backing by the Voice of Athelios seem to leave the castle.
  
• Finally, a reminder to those who reside in the Realm of Aphros: the threats posed by the heretic and the abominable Greathive are one not to be trifled with. Remember to move out in groups of at least two from the city to ensure the safety of yourself.
