State of Meranthe

[MoonlitGaze]

2072 AC

"Isn't that the place that despises the gods we worship? Who would want to live there?"
"I heard that they're artificers turned bad... Wonder if that's true."
"Apparently they wish to escape this realm entirely, isn't that hilariously impossible?"

Deep within the reach of the wetlands, a budding settlement appeared to be making moves atop the land of Meranthe. Their true goals up until this point had remained unknown to the ears that caught wind of the rumors circulating the town, yet it is said that they are a collection of godless heathens who seek to defy the gods of this land and ascend in ways that those that follow the pantheon would deem disgraceful. 

• Atheoria, the settlement coming to fruition inside of the mire, is a refuge for those who seek to escape the expectations set upon them by those who are of faith. For those that cannot seem to fit in with the criteria that has been ever so present upon these lands and wish to make a home for themselves elsewhere that is without the laws in which keep them shackled from doing what they truly desire. As such, they have brought up a handful of orphans and branded them in ways that would provide them with purpose.
  

• Through various methods, the one whom leads most of the projects and ideas in relation to their objectives is Kieran Amelyn- experienced in both artificing, riftmancy, and other things. Taking a more background position on certain matters, the woman prefers to do the planning and brainstorming for any of their projects and expeditions (such as their recent climbing of the Tower of Aetius that came with many losses, yet just as many benefits). When it comes to her craft, it's believed that there is hardly anyone that is more prevalent than her.
  

• Standing ahead of Kieran in hopes to handle the affairs and such that come with an up-and-coming settlement is Ael Amelyn, the more forthright and levelheaded woman. Whereas her wife displays prowess within the forge, Ael holds the ability to manage the community. With the talent to appeal to the masses, as well as a pragmatic disposition, Ael embodies the role as the head of the faction- though both of their opinions hold weight. Like Kieran, she is also a skilled artificer, yet has admitted that her wife is leagues ahead of her in such.
  
  
• No matter the path they take, it has been made publicly known that the group would do whatever it takes to achieve their goals- whether it be going against other residents of this land, damaging the Lifestream, or even fighting the gods themselves. Their intrepid ways have led them to have scuffles with many of those who walk the land.
