Gakaiyo, The Ruby Empire

[radio]

 

In the north of Meranthe people stir as conversation brings them all to estate of the Shogun within Xuefeng. From all three northern stations they arrive, the Aegis' colors present from the Ten's, giants from the Abbey and those with red wrapped of their arms which call the nation home. An announcement is to be made, one set to change the north forever. From their home, Miyumi S. Irontail emerges and takes to the stage which extends from their estate, looking over the large crowd that fills the streets.

"Long have the nations of Xuefeng and the Ten's Citadel stood beside one another in times of need as well as times of glory. Together we've been hurt, we've bled and we've hoisted our victory above those that look to stand against us. My family has shared a close bond with those that have looked over the Ten's Citadel for three generations, a bond still carried to this day.
 
We know the pain within the north, the loss of leaders who have made this place what it is. We have felt it with you. Though we must all know as well that it is not over. The forces that bring us this pain, they come now to our lands. And we must be prepared to face them, we must be stronger than we've ever been before in spite of our suffering.
 
Back in the days of my grandfather there was the idea of a single, unified nation. A great empire within the north. It is a dream which I carry to this day, a dream which I've brought all of you here to witness. As of today, the Ten's Citadel and Xuefeng will come together to form the great Ruby Empire, Gakaiyo."

 

Within the snow the denizens of both the Ten's Citadel and Xuefeng are buzzing with the news, it quickly spreads and the preparations that have been years in waiting from the leadership of both nations begin. A great road under construction and the start of foundations for a great city, a capital which will rest between the two. Under a new commander, the Aegis rallies and begin training near immediately, recruitment lines run the streets. Caravans deliver supplies back and forth between the two nations and make stops at the developing capital.

 

Festivals go on for nights, lanterns fill the skies and carry the dreams of the citizens, their wishes for prosperity in new and adventurous beginnings.

 

A golden age is on the horizon.
