State of Esshar

MYLLENORIS
=====================
1730 AC

Near the beginning of the year, High Lady Asta Hargrave, Warden of the Kingdom of Myllenoris, Head of Aschea's Faith, Speaker of Spirits, made an announcement before the Valeborn and the citizens of the Kingdom. She laid out the current state of foreign and domestic affairs, and issued a cryptic, foreboding warning to her subjects.

• Myllenoris is NEUTRAL with all other factions, at this time. The only exceptions are with bandit / rogue mercenary groups.
  
• Ranking members (Knights, Warlords, etc.) of foreign factions that wish to enter Myllenoris must be accompanied by an equal number of Greycloaks. Non-ranking and neutral parties are allowed free travel through and into Myllenoran territory. Myllenoris is free and open for all peaceful travelers, and those curious of the ways and lifestyle of Aschea's Faith.
  
• Petty crimes and disputes of the realm are to be brought to your nearest Greycloak. In this regard, Greycloaks and Mistseers have been granted absolute judicial and executive authority over interpersonal and legal disputes. They are judge, jury, and executioner. Common sense laws are in effect. Disruptors of the peace of Myllenoris will be dealt with harshly. (Decisions can be overruled by the High Lady or a Mistseer).
  
• A warning: unrest in the Spirit World, hushed whispers of the unseen suggest the remnants of Elaide's Coven move again. In response, the High Lady has decreed that the Greycloaks of the Valeborn should prepare immediately for fights to come.
  

Myllenoris is buzzing with activity. Weapons are being made en-mass. Soldiers train as if war is imminent. Yet, not even the High Lady herself knows with whom they shall be fighting.

Rumors circulate of diplomatic parties from Osrona and Theria visiting the private quarters of the High Lady. The High Lady herself has been seen walking the streets of Osrona not too long ago, with an escort of dozens of Greycloaks.

Just what could these pointy-eared plotters be up to?
