The City of Dreams, Osrona

In the year 1732, war with Theria had been postponed in favour of finding another solution. However the peace talks fell through. The crutch being Theria's unwillingness to break their alliance with Illburg.




King Petrakis addresses Osrona:

"I apologize to anyone that wanted peace. Dragonlord Rinn and I could not agree on it. She did not want to break her alliance to Illburg and Illburgs declaration of all-out war against our city and Myllenoris meant we would have to battle Theria anyway. As such, we will be forced into war. I will take this decision on my shoulders. And I will lead you all through it."

More was said in the speech. The takeaways were this.
-Upon recent information, the war against Illburg will no longer be a Holy War from Osrona's perspective. Instead, it will be a war made in defence. If occultic presence is found, Osrona's stance will be reevaluated later.
-There will be a two-staged attack on both Illburg and Theria, with the majority of Osrona's attention on the Free City to make sure they back off. The first attack will be in the coming months.

-The Celestial Church will help in the first showing against Illburg to help find and locate any occultic presence that may linger.
-The King urged everyone, irregardless of their city that the Mines will not be guaranteed safe for crafters and advised merchants and tradesmen not to travel there.

And finally, and most importantly, a request has been called from the Crown:

Retired Blazing Knight Berrios Falstaff, retired Radiant Robin cos Queen and retired Lightbringer Elijah lux Soleis have been requested to form a war council.
