State of Meranthe

[Epoch]

2047 AC

The fiery thrum of volcano sets to an even keel. It does not appear so troubled.

Dauntless, the new name for the warriors on the great peaks. The Huskarl since abolished with the loss of the Moot. Their leader named Kazras Folhammar, Thane of the Dauntless. An oniborn revealed to have the blood of the Folhammar clan.

Another sacrifice of the old-guard takes place, the last of Vdalion's first generation, with the wizened Hofgothi Shaggard DeGray sacrificing himself before the volcano. His body turned to stone upon his death. Perhaps this is what quelled the volcano. Other rituals have taken place, with the most grand being the impending Grand March led by Hofgothi Ivarr and Radiant Hulda. 

The city of Grimhjall is quiet but its banners flow freely on different points on Meranthe. Whether it be the islands south belonging to Fortune, the Gutter in the north or Mount Glufdor. Whether protectorate or vassal state, Vdalion is not shy in its ambitious defense. Watchtowers soon to be erected. The mobilization of the mountains armies grows at a steady pace, evidently gearing up for something. With the addition of ships lent by the Fortune Kingdom, likely removal of unwanted guests on Mina Solis.

From public rumors and recent actions, the following can be theorized:
