State of Meranthe

[ChosenOfTiamat]

2113 AC

After a very successful festival coordinated with the Kingdom of Serenity, The Traverse has successfully acquired the island of Minas Solis, also known as Raven's Hold, from Serenity.

Now known as a place that is extremely welcoming to Sirenians, its population continues to grow, primarily with either those sent by New Atlantis, or merely other Sirenians by word of mouth. The population of 'land-walkers', whilst not insignificant, grows at but a fraction in comparison.

With the recent assault on Gloomlight Grove in order to reclaim the Archon, Na'Ria, the Traverse's admittedly minor militia took to the battlefield for the first time. Whilst not originally seen in the heart of the fighting, the Suzerains each clashed against the 'Alpha of Atrellya', Ingolf. With both beaten back, the Traverse nonetheless makes its stance clear: The Traverse shall assist in the assaults against the Atrellyan invaders.

Remodels to the church on Minas Solis see the place being refurbished towards the worship of Memoria, spearheaded by Elizabeth Montelione. Meant to serve as a space for those who hold to the Faith, it curiously lacks an official priest or priestess. Nonetheless, the devoted space will serve for times of worship for those interested in the faith of Memoria.

And on the topic of faith, Mnemosyne Montelione has begun to offer blessings and prayers to people on behalf of a spirit of water. Some report that it is her own spirit, but the bond is nonetheless strong enough, and powerful enough, to provide very real benefit.

With the two islands gathered, and agreements with the mainland established, a great work has commenced: Earth magi, water magi, and engineers have been a process of reshaping the land, creating connections between the two islands and the mainland. The Traverse as a whole is likely to see great change in the near future, as work on the rumored Waygates continues as well. Talks of bridges to the mainland, or an underwater tunnel, have floated about. But such connections are still in the planning stages.
