[Titania]

"We are not your enemies."

"We never were."

"Perhaps I am a naive fool, to have allowed this choice. But if that is the case, a naive fool is who I desire to be-- for my heart sang in defiance of this. May this be the end of it. May we proceed with peace and equanimity."

The Bastion stands, having faced down the combined might of Aegis and Xuefeng together. In a telling battle, both Sabathiel Caewynn and Eivor Ualdirsson were captured in their attempts to arrest and kill the redeemed Imperfect, Na'Ria. Sabathiel died in the fields outside of Gloomlight, after upholding his oaths and honor, and refusing an offer of surrender from former Oracle Lirael Equisol. His name has been recorded, amidst the annals of Gloomlight's archives, as a true hero of Athelios-- one who fought until the bitter end for what he believed in, even if it was in opposition to the Holy State of Aphros. Some question the Oracle's decision to do this. Her response is that she's a remarkably sentimental woman, and that she sees no reason to spit on the grave of a man who was destined for far, far more.

Though it is perhaps a shocking outcome, Eivor Ualdirsson and his wife, Hina Lam, were seen leaving Unreality and returning to the Ten's Citadel, alive. This decision was made by their captor, Na'Ria, knowing full well the threat they pose to her continued life-- the Oracle has requested that her peoples' respect this choice, as in the end, it was her life they came for, and her hands that their own fell unto.

His Holy Oracle Ysayl dul Vique requests that the people of the Tens and Xuefeng look upon the events of the war-- The nonmagi dead, the tragic loss of a warrior of the Pantheon, and seek to avoid it in the future. It is her single, impassioned plea to them.

That we must not cannibalize ourselves while the forces of darkness regroup and recuperate.

• Following the abduction of Sanfey, by the Atrellyan forces during the War of Gloomlight Grove, the Oracle has asked those who are able-bodied to come together and prepare a strike to retrieve her-- or, if worst comes to worst, her affects.
  
• A Nethradin has reportedly been sighted being fought by a group of irregulars, many of whom descended from the Bastion, amidst a battlefield purpose-forged amidst the depths of Unreality. By all accounts, the fight was a grand success, and the monstrosity has been pushed back to its lair to await final destruction by Loramelian, the one most affected by it.
  
• The Oracle has equally announced her attentions to revitalize Asperan worship amidst the Grove, as a central tenet of the theocratic state she upholds. Those interested in the faith may approach Proteus Equisol, Renfae, or Ezra, as they each are the heads of their respective churches amidst the holy Trinity.
  
• Balthasar Equisol has made clear that he intends to host a sermon the word of Chireus, amidst the hallowed halls of one of Gloomlight's finest churches. With the Oracle's blessing, any who desire to hear the word of the Wanderer are free to come and attend.
  
• Proteus Equisol has reportedly been seen working on a project, amidst the depths of Unreality-- The Twilight Star, to light the day in that distant realm, that those who dwell in the realm of Talguth may once again see the sun rise.
  
• Phaedra Equisol continues to preach the religion of Nought-- of the Exalted-in-Waiting and the depths of Unreality. Those who seek to master this metaphysical landscape are welcome to attend her rituals and sermons in turn.
  
• The Oracle has announced her plans for the newfound territory of Prospera-- It will be governed by Melos Equisol, a dutiful adherent of the faith who is charged with ensuring that its' history is never repeated, and that the progress it has made does not go to waste. In equal part, she has charged Ezra with ensuring that the settlement remains free of the covens that once infested it-- and she has given him the full authority necessary to kill any he may find dwelling within the depths of its' Undercity.
  
• Under the guidance of the Redeemed, the Archon, Na'Ria, continues her works to bolster her strange yet peaceful faith of the Grand Design. Most of what she does is done in secrecy, still, but the boons of the Divine have slowly, carefully shifted into the public perception. Chief among these boons, the cleansing of further demons into amicable forms, and metals beyond one's dreams.
