Torrential Tribute [Hand of God vs Port Fortuna]

[Frozen Heart]

"--I'd choose the idiots at Port Fortuna.

Why? Mainly because it looks like it would make for a nice vacation home." - Excerpt from King Ulciel at the Hand of God meeting.

While a significant portion of the population in Meranthe are preoccupied with 'other concerns,' a distinct group directs its focus elsewhere. This particular militia actively armed themselves and initiated mobilization efforts against the presence of Port Fortuna, utilizing both naval capabilities and the art of riftmancy. Leading this determined movement is a Nephilim distinguished by their intense, deep crimson eyes. As events unfold, the inhabitants of the island soon became aware of the concerted gathering of numerous outsiders on their lands, marking a unified aggression.

Objective: Secure and liberate the island of Port Fortuna

Date: January 11th 6:30 pm EST

"Erratic, insane. Acting on utter impulse and deranged warmongering. My house has told you once before Ulciel, you will not have this island. I say it again now to you, the sudden threats from a depraved gathering of profligate cultists will not deter our answer nor armed response." -Sovereign Saiya

Several ships of a score amongst the picket of sloops encounter dangers in their own waters. Unforeseen contest within homely waters of Fortune, once so easily policed by privateers and prowled by Merchants alike, find blacksails and bones not on a flag, but floating in the waters... The group responsible calling themselves the, 'Hand of God', yet what god would endorse invasion for a 'nice vacation spot'?

Yet the Sovereign's navy stands fast. Time and time again they had faced with their friends against cult and demon alike, and this time they shall face them again on their own shores. Magi and Navymen of Fortune alike ready their weapons for war, knowing the man who comes for their island they start to plan their defense in detail.

Objective: Repel the Invasion!

"I wish for peace, and thus I march to war, as I promised."

And not long after the forces of the Kingdom of Fortune mobilize their response to the aggression of the "Hand of God", The Goldlight Order matches with their own, far more organized than a simple deployment of The Unbridled. Battle drills double within the confines of Martyrs´ Vigil as both Swornblade and Legionnaire prepare to fight alongside the Kingdom´s forces, to uphold an ancient contract that had not been called into effect until now.

The Order marches to war, and so their war-standard flies high from the Keep´s ramparts and in the hands of the Legion´s standard bearers.

Objective: Defend Fortune, both Port and Kingdom.

"The Priesthood of Ualdir has gazed into the flame, and they have foreseen the Fel burning within it. The tides of war are auspicious.

The Citadel's Crusade continues the march. Fortune will not fall this night. So it has been said, and so it will be." - Heimdall Eivorson

With those words to spur them on, several ships depart from the frigid waters of the Citadel's harbors, sailing to Port Fortune. They carry little in the way of cargo, for their bellies are loaded with the soldiers of the Aegis. These warriors, alongside several hand-picked magi, have been sent under the command of Heimdall Eivorson for but a single purpose. To deny Lyseroth's heir, and what remains of Sheol, a single inch of territory.

Objective: Ensure Fortune Stands
