Two pages of news, hot off the press, are stapled on the Tavern's billboard.

 

Jona of Dragon’s Nest: A New Hope? 

 

In an interview the young, growing Cardinal for Dragon's Nest explained his ambition to see Dragon Nest gain more respect and recognition. Additionally, the boy expressed his need for more dragons with grand ambitions to help it grow and shape the world.

 

The young man explained: "I wish to Dragon's Nest into the future as the next leader of it, to push the agenda of a grand place where dragons can be born, rise, get strong, and shape the world around them like those in the past."

 

"Not only that, but also gain like-minded individuals to help it grow and become a dominant force, one that is not recognized as just a 'selected' place but a 'grand' place of warriors..."

 

Despite there being a 'stigma' about Dragon's Nest, Jona explained that it's his 'favourite place' to rest his head and also the place where he has been the 'happiest' since he came to Meranthe.

 

"I believe that the Nest needs more dragons that are able to follow through with their ambitions and allow them to take flight like the dragons do - dragons that come from all walks of life to stand in one place, united, so that we can all grow."

 

Dragon's Nest is a hub and sanctuary of Drakanites faithful to the Divine Dragons. Residents include both Drakanites and Dragons. 

 

Jona further divulged: "So that the lost is found and those that forgot can be reminded. It needs that extra spark of life, it needs to grow - to take over more land and spread so that they can express the beauty that the dragons have."

 

Cardinals are individuals apart of Dragon Nest's main militant group, of whom fight under a Divine Dragon.

 

Jona emphasised: "A dragon is that: one that is able to follow their ambitions for better or for worse - someone that is willing to do what is needed for their betterment, or for others."

 

This comes after Vokel Dawnseeker, initial leader of Dragon's Nest, stepped down from his role of leadership.

 

The Nightmare Continues: Night Creatures Spread Havoc

 

Night Creatures have recently been sighted prowling the outskirts of Dal'thala, causing alarm among residents.

 

Jona, a member of the Dragon's Nest community, narrowly escaped capture by Night Creatures in a recent encounter. Lucielle Orstein, a friend of Jona's, fell victim to the clutches of Night Creatures, highlighting the urgency of addressing the menace they pose.

 

Jona explained the incident: "It happened right outside of Dal'thala - I never thought I would see it happen. Mirthandir tried to save Lucille, failed. Bastet tried to save Lucielle, failed. So, in the end, it was just me, trying my best to save Lucielle."

 

"I tried to get the other back - even though they worked with chaotic forces before, but it was Lucille that deserved the help."

 

With two choices, Jona chose to save Lucille instead of Mithandir.

 

He added: "Mithandir was the loss. Lucille was the future."

 

Night Creatures have been causing extremely high chaos and devastation within Meranthe. Villages lacking defences have been forced to rely on little to combat the threat, many of which being razed or feasted upon. 

 

The death toll, while indiscernible, has lead to extreme casualties, which could climb to levels seen once before during the Days of Ragnarok.
