State of Meranthe

[Myradin]

                                                

The final act of the Coven against the settlement of Ryai'sumar led to the destruction of all the structure of the settlement swept clear from the plains. The months and years after seeing the damned stalking within the shadows once more, a calm before the storm that was to erupt across Meranthe. Hearsay abound of what those within the Coven had been up to amidst the turning of time throughout the continent. It appeared that those heading for the darkness beneath Yggdrasil could never truly stay quiet.

                                                                                                  

                                                                          

• The settlement of Ryai'sumar was fully razed by the final attack of the Coven. The land suffocated by the damned's actions. From past destruction of a simple district, to the entire settlement laid to waste; nothing but strewn remnants of a past civilization remained across the land. Another ritual commenced above the ruins that had been produced by the Coven's action.
                                                  
  
• Action against Aphros came in the form of a murder of one of Athelios's own; The Serpent of Aphros, Mei Dominic slain and left within the swamps to the western front of Aphros's territory. The beginning of a potential 'shadow war' between those who bear the black mark, and the city that worships the past Warden of Helheim.
                                                                       
  
• An influx of blackened figures entering and departing from the Shadowlands spread along the villages and towns that were scattered across the borders of the expansive forest. A shady operation underway, the transportation of cages and other tools whispered of. An organized front looking to breach and explore the unexplored, expansive domain of the Shadowlands
                                                   
  
• The missing Oracle of Aphros, Solomon Equisol's presence was unexplained for a few weeks. Until the manipulation of information began- taverns spilling hearsay of the Godkin being slain by the Supreme of the Coven. A host of rumours that all grew out of proportion, but the one sole fact was that the Godkin had been slain by another, and his missing presence all but cementing the spreading of word. 
                                                            
  
• Predators of the night waited until their prey was already weakened to finish them off. The steady decline of harvests within Aphros's villages and towns in the domain's outskirts a reminiscent action in the past, a prelude to more to come. Lasting nightmares plaguing the common-folk, the abductions of men, woman, and children intermittently occurring within Athelios's domain.
