"There is hope in this land, but it must be freed from the yoke of evil."

With four years passed since the arrival of the Aenite expedition, Lyonesse has become a bustling colony of the Empire of Aen. Ships venture to and from the isle on a weekly basis, delivering supplies, colonists and soldiers. The troops are hard at work performing their drills, sharpening their swords and readying their vessels. Further, the colony has expanded already, claiming an isle to their southwest and naming it Gran Tiena. Rumors have spread about construction of a tavern, named to honor the first official casualty of the expedition.

Diplomatic relations with the city of Dal'Thala have improved significantly following Abendrot's attempted raid. The forces of Aen showcased their valor well, defeating a number of highly evolved demons and slaying two. Delegates from the colony have been seen meeting with the military commander of Dal'Thala in preparation for the upcoming crusade.

Following the results of Vdalion's most recent moot, a public statement has been made by the Captain of Lyonesse, Valerie von Marsh.

"Idle have I been, watching the once noble Giants debate. I had hoped that sanity would prevail, that they would take the correct course of action without needing interference. Instead? They chose to exile sanity. Their forefathers would weep at what has become of their proud legacy, a legacy Aen knows well. We will not stand by as they tarnish a rich and storied history by defiling the dead. Lyonesse will march, and put to rest these monsters."

"I call forth a crusade against the filth of this world. Abendrot is broken upon our bulwark, the demonic menace scattered. No longer will they obscure other evils with their miasma.

And to those of you of Vdalion, who still value your legacy? I invite you to join this crusade, as Vdalion once did in the past when the Empire of Barsburg was broken. Or hold your peace, and fall with it."

♆ With the announcement, the soldiers of Lyonesse are preparing for war against the ancient mountain city. They welcome aid against the necromancers.

♆ Following the battle with Abendrot, a mass promotion ceremony was held. All whom were part of the initial expedition have ascended to the rank of Soldier. Their training is over, they have proven themselves.

♆ Amidst the promotions, the Dorian Melio has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant to hold the position alongside Isla Amana. Further, the Nephilim Isolde has taken a more unique role of Morale and Morals officer, the primary goal being to ensure the expedition remains faithful to the tenets of Aen.

♆ Another of the isles has been annexed and renamed to Gran Tiena, those living upon it are now bound by Aenite law. While it is relatively underdeveloped, it is more open to the public. Rumors abound of a tavern being constructed there soon.

♆ Thus far, no statement has been made about the impending attack against Pantheon. Vdalion is considered the primary target of their upcoming crusade.
