State of Meranthe

[Bluebird]

2062 AC
Upon the billowing smokes

The year had started off with a contract that made much of Meranthe quite displeased. Despite this, the Magyars continue on as they were - much preparation to be made, stones blessed by their White Shaman as tents began to be officially packed up. They were making this land theirs permanently, and it showed. No matter how the world viewed them, they would make it known that they know who they themselves were, and always will be. The Dunes rife with activity, totems and fires lit across the camp.

Old contracts nulled, and new ones made.

• Hawks can be seen flying overhead with the announcement of Kurultai. For once outlanders are allowed to freely enter without fear of needing to pay tribute; those wishing to learn more of the Horde's spiritual beliefs and culture are welcomed to attend, even those simply wishing to do so out of curiousity. There are whispers of the Rites of Initiation being held after as well for those who were wishing to join.
  
  
• The scouts that had been sent out to search for Arpad Hunyati have finally returned with nothing to show. Elvira continues to request those with any knowledge to step forth, although there are mutterings of their pilgrims soon approaching the camp.
  
  
• A few changes have come to the Horde since Elvira's leadership. Where Dyaus Prithvi remains their general patron spirit to guide the Khan and her shamans, sights of Teleiotita amongst their ranks has caused confusion; some remain unaware of what this means, but some words upon the wind speak of him being next to Dyaus as another patron spirit: that of War, to strengthen their warriors and teach the soon to be appointed members of their Keshig.
  
  
• Since last year, any remnants of soldiers from the Horde has completely retreated and left the walls of Audhild. No longer have they been under siege, and neither are they targets of ire from the tribal people; they are allowed to meet and discuss business whenever they wish.
  
  
• It had not been a secret that Liviana Na'hrem has remained a ward of the Horde, under their protection and guidance, although it seems a change has gone underway since a meeting between the bat and Elvira Kerekes. What this constitutes remains to be seen...
  
  
• Due to the nature of the spirits acting out in agony due to the Maw, a few of the Horde themselves are personally preparing themselves for the upcoming battle for personal reasons. One rare moment in which no coin need be given in contract.
  
  
• As always, those seeking to learn more of the tribe beyond mercenary work are allowed to visit and ask their questions, as long as their traditions are respected and tribute is given - it need not be simple coin.
