Roleplay from Nerta the Weaver Message sent to Everyone in the Agyrian Academy Restless. Nerta paces in her new tent while the stiffly dressed Captain Axel sighs. His new mistress seemed far too akin to a panther before bars. "You need not worry m'lady, your soldiers shall see the creatures off with little difficulty." Truth be told she had little worry of that, not after the entire army had marched in on her heels. No, she was more pensive that the archers were in harms way while she was safe and sound. But she wasn't going to have that argument again. Besides, Bob was here and the Old Man wanted a word with him about some deed or another. Nerta the Weaver (Foederati)
Letter from Aeravon Velaryon Message sent to All nobles of Ar Agyr It looks like a new noble emerged from our ranks today, yet my lazy servant failed to properly report this. Welcome, Lady Nerta Unti! For the North, Aeravon Velaryon (Judge of Ar Agyr, Duke of Avalon, Margrave of Fronepu)
Letter from Jacinda the Driven Message sent to Everyone in the Agyrian Academy Found another Dragon's Tear, in the lair of a small pack of monsterkin here in the Seven Rivers. Jacinda the Driven (Adventurer)
Letter from Varan Message sent to Everyone in the Agyrian Academy Undead were protecting another Dragon’s Tear in Zwering, the reanimated Grehkian general who was the final guardian put up a hellish fight. A wearying battle, but nothing a good massage and bath can’t sort out! Varan (Adventurer)
Roleplay from Soren Navaar Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr His room at the Wolf's Den Inn was small, but he rarely traveled with a lot of belongings outside of his weapons. Sitting off to one side was his bow, unstrung, next to a quiver of arrows. Beside that was his spear, and quarterstaff. Finally, his sword rested on his lap as he looked at the man before him. Soren sat face to face with a familiar figure for the first time in years. Long, once dark hair that was gray with age, pulled back and tied at the bottom, a ferocity in brown eyes that Soren knew as one of actual skill and burden, and a figure that looked like it could still fight years later. That was Felix Calanar, former Duke of Nothoi, and man he called Grandfather. Sitting in his lap were two objects wrapped in cloth. He had shown up out of the blue, and let himself into Soren's room without a word, and now, the young lord did not know what to say. Felix began. "The Calanar network spans continents. Not one of you brothers is left un-watched, even if you don't realize it." Soren nodded. "Does that mean?" Felix nodded. "Locke is going to search for Cayden." "Uncle Locke? He rarely leaves the estate anymore. Why would he go?" Soren asked, concerned more for his brothers than himself. Uncle Locke made him nervous. Of all the Calanar family he knew, it was the core family surrounding Locke that was the most nerve wracking. Every one of them seemed to have the strength and willpower of kings and queens in their own right. Nothing the Navaars could ever amount to. Felix didn't respond. Instead he continued. "Velden is going to find Lucius, and I am here for you. It's time for your inheritances." Soren blinked. "Inheritance?" Instead of explaining, Felix unwrapped the first cloth item. An old set of seals, a map, and family heritage documents, proof of his bloodline, and ancient claim to countless regions that the family once thrived in throughout Beluaterra, a number of them were lands now belonging to Ar Agyr, and an old map of Beluaterra from before the blight took hold. A reminder of what daimon slayers fought for. Soren swallowed hard, as he looked from item to item, setting many of them aside on the bed next to him. "That is... generous, grandfather, but I don't know how well those claims will hold up today." The last one was a seal for the Consul of Melhed. Taking a deep breath, he set that aside without thinking too hard on it. "Move the sword," Felix ordered, and Soren immediately obeyed as he unwrapped the second package. Soren paled. The sword that was revealed was a twisted piece of metal and blade. It looked like it could belong to some fantastic dictator in some fairy tale for children. It almost seemed blighted, and he hesitated to even touch it. The weapon had been worked and reforged over the years into something usable as a weapon. As Soren accepted the sword, he looked between it and his grandfather. "A daimon's sword. Taken from one of the creatures during the fall of Heen by your great grandfather. He would use their own weapons against them. As the next in line of our family to serve Beluaterra, this weapon is yours should you wish to use it." Soren, ever calm in most situations, looked down at the weapon and shuddered. "It is... an honor. I suppose." Felix laughed. "It's no honor. It's a burden." "Why now?" Soren asked, almost naively. Felix, still chuckling, almost seemed like a daimon in his own right. "You're mostly free of the Blue Tower these days. Welcome to the family." Soren Navaar (Count of Seven Rivers)
	Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Your analysis of coastal defences is well founded Lord Aeravon. We've had several periods when hordes from the ocean struck our coastal provinces and caused extensive devastation. We would need to keep militia stationed all along the coast to have much hope of disrupting such attacks. It's possible in principle but in practice militia tend to desert unless kept a close eye on. The decision to claim Hopidrii was an experiment at a time when we did have sufficient nobles to manage the extra land. It's unfortunate that we've had three prominent nobles succumb to illness in recent weeks. I'll abandon the region once we've regained Lloringel and Tepmona so that we can then consider which other region to bring back under active control. Bit Havil and Jyl are both possibilities if we consider Thalmarkin or Vordul Sanguinis threats to our borders, or perhaps one of the hinterland regions in the north. In hindsight - which is sadly much better informed than foresight - I probably should have abandoned Hopidrii before we sailed south. However I don't think that would have made a difference to the hordes as reports from my peers paint a bleak picture of increased raids everywhere since the incident in Keffa. Whether this is normal mischief or the presage of a new Invasion is hard to tell. Either way we will be watchful. Aibhlidhn Dubhaine (Queen of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Rogan McGhee Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr After the battle in Ieara the young nobles second approached, “sir, those peasants were not running from the monsters towards us for protection, they attacked us in cohorts with those beast”. Rogan nodded his head as he cleaned his weapon and gathered himself, “Tippson, they are pure savages and these are strange lands, we need to slip through to the capital and regroup with the main army” Rogan McGhee (Knight of Mhed)

	Letter from Filippo Greybrook Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Why were were there meager units left in the region before the TO completed? Signed. Filippo Greybrook (Knight of Mhed)
	Letter from Greyson Stewart Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Sir Greybrook, Firstly, I do not consider my original command meager and secondly, the takeover was 90% complete when the horde attacked. I, for one, used all of my time supporting the takeover, when I suppose some scouting would have been a good thing. Lesson learned. In Honor, Greyson Stewart (Noble of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Had I known a fresh horde would strike Rengo whilst that from Tepmona was striking Seven Rivers I'd have stayed behind to defend the TO rather than moving to intercept. My bodyguard wouldn't have been sufficient to win us the battle but at least it would have blunted the blow somewhat. We all make miscalculations on occasion, especially when facing enemies who can emerge from the undergrowth without warning. I made such a miscalculation and have no qualms about owning it. Now everyone in reasonable proximity to Fronepu return here and I'll dish out gold to allow you all to recruit further troops. Those too far away should make for your nearest bastion and provide regular scouting reports whilst we put ourselves in good order. Move to Fronepu if you can. Anyone who needs gold send me your request. We need to rebuild our strength swiftly and push back hard. Aibhlidhn Dubhaine (Queen of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Letter from Eugenica Snodaert Message sent to the rulers of Beluaterra (7 recipients) - 2 hours, 21 minutes ago Rulers of Beluaterra, It has been an honor to serve along side you, the Realm Lux Nova will cease to exist. Our last members wil dissolve into the ranks of the Irondale nobility. Nova. Will not longer be able to stop the hordes. Once more ai heave the lukewarm goat bladder to the heavens so I may let the trickle of salty sweet goat wine tickle my pallet. Here is to all of you and for the new Light, yours until the end times, Eugenica of Bym from Ibladesh. yours, eugenica Eugenica Snodaert Pontifix Maxima of Nova A somewhat disappointing turn of events given that Irondale did nothing to help the Novans in recent months whereas both we and the Vales mounted expeditions to the south. I hope they were at least offered the Fianik coast or the old Angmarian lands around Heen. This could of course be Irondale prepping for war with Thalmarkin as there's been bickering between the two in recent weeks. Aibhlidhn Dubhaine (Queen of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Aeravon Velaryon Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Sometimes it is just easier to brave the cerulean expanse, Steward Aelanta. The friendly harbors should make it a fairly enjoyable journey. For the North, Aeravon Velaryon (Judge of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Judge Aeravon speaks wisely. Whilst our hinterland is so plagued I recommend anyone travelling alone or in a small party take advantage of our merchant fleet to avoid traps and ambushes. We will get the hinterland back under control and when we do those who are responsible for preying on our good peasantry will taste the full force of Agyrian justice. Aibhlidhn Dubhaine (Queen of Ar Agyr)
	Orders from Rowan Hawk Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr My fellow warriors, I am still wounded, but only lightly so. I was on my death bed in Lloringel but am recovering. I am thankful for the response to get me out of this land, my former home. I am rallying what remains of my men, and I will be here to greet you all to stand against the undead. I had initially set my unit to return to the capitol, but I could not live with myself to abandon you all for this fight. The undead are numerous and we will need every soldier available. I will stand by the warriors of Ar Agyr in the morning and together we will drive out the undead horde. Rowan Hawk (General of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Filippo Greybrook Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Why are there so many rogues? It wasn't like this in Dwilight when I roamed. Filippo Greybrook (Knight of Mhed)
	Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr We've had massed rogue outbreaks several times during my reign, the Rainbow Invasion being the worst - that saw a single army of 120k CS ravaging the coast between the Vales and Fronepu. The difference this time is that multiple hordes are appearing regularly in diverse locations across the East. The Keffa Incident has a lot to do with this as magic became easier to cast and the witches who plague all lands have therefore become more dangerous. But I also see the migration of the Obeah from the Rines peninsula as strongly contributory. That made it impossible for the Novans to properly contain the threat from the Necromancers and now their realm has fallen allowing the rot to spread. There has also been mention of other hordes north of Thalmarkin and to the west of Irondale but I've not seen scout reports to gauge just how bad the situation is in those parts. I've tasked our bolder adventurers with seeking out scrolls useful in battle but for the most part we need to rely on our steel and our determination to see us through this period. At least our cities are on the coast so if pushed hard we can withdraw to our havens and hold there. Aibhlidhn Dubhaine (Queen of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Aeravon Velaryon Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Our city-ports are massive bastions with towering walls and strong denizens. However, we cannot rely on this alone to weather us through the upcoming winter. These cities need food and with right now only Seven Rivers contributing the harvests will barely cover the needs. Even in autumn when they are extremely bountiful we are going to start missing food. It is clear that we need to sally forth and brave our way through the sea of hordes, and this is what we are doing, but a long term strategy on how to keep our reclaimed lands our should be defined. If these marauding hordes continue to run rampant it will be a challenge. For the North, Aeravon Velaryon (Judge of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr We're in a bit of a pickle as hordes seem to be infesting much of the continent since the Novans abandoned their homeland for Irondale and an extra sword to recapture the lands we've lost in recent weeks will be much appreciated. Everything's suddenly gone very quiet around Lloringel. Let's hope it stays that way until the TO is concluded. Aibhlidhn Dubhaine (Queen of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Greyson Stewart Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr I must say, with all due respect, that the Queen has certainly just jinxed us. In Honor, Greyson Stewart (Noble of Ar Aygr)
Letter from Ryosuke Guile Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr A glorious day for all humanity! Well done Duke Remus! The timely arrival of Duchess Scarlett was well within the Masked One’s knowledge, and together you beat some rather impressive odds. Gethsemene stands as a shining beacon in these troubling times! Vox Noctis, Ryosuke Guile (Hierophant of Irondale)
	Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr Unique Item Lost (Personal message) - 10 hours, 51 minutes ago As you regain consciousness from your wounding, you realize that you have lost the Vial of Scherzer's Ashes! In this morning's battle in Lloringel I was separated from my guards in the melee and had a great heirloom of Ar Agyr, the Vial of Scherzer's Ashes, ripped from my unconscious body before being rescued. A generous bounty will be paid to whoever recovers the Vial. Aibhlidhn Dubhaine (Queen of Ar Agyr)
	Letter from Jacinda the Driven Message sent to Everyone in the Agyrian Academy Great Queen, I have found your heirloom, though I need rest now, where should I meet you to deliver it? Jacinda the Driven (Adventurer)
Letter from Nerta the Weaver Message sent to Everyone in The Old Gods The Old Man wonders what's going on in the deep south. With Ar Agyr busy tending local matters there's little talk of another crusade. Anyone have any news? Nerta the Weaver (Foederati)
Letter from Soren Navaar Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr I'm on my way to Lloringel to assist. Might I suggest we change the melee and ranged formations? With melee in box, it means they will last longer, and with the ranges forces in a line, they will do more damage. Soren Navaar (Count of Seven Rivers)
Letter from Nerta the Weaver Message sent to Everyone in The Old Gods Not a bad idea Soren, but I'm to ask: Know any good songs to go with the March? Nerta the Weaver (Foederati)
Letter from Soren Navaar Message sent to Everyone in Ar Agyr A song Priestess? I might have one up my sleeves here. An old war song. The music is a bit rough As the drum beat started on that day, heard a hundred miles back A hundred thousand arrows fly, and the blue sky turned to black. Yes, that foul hail, you see, it lasted all day long And the army marched, banners high, burning hearts still strong. The battle, yes, the battle had begun. The battle, yes, the battle, nowhere to run. As the first blows struck, cries called out, judgement for their sins The warriors march, pure of cause, a thousand smaller wins. As combatants fall, final breaths, the field becomes a flood With wolven howls, our heroes push, through sweat, tears, and blood. The battle, yes, the battle on the rise. The battle, yes, the battle now, hear our howling cries. The last foe falls, beneath cold steel, despite the fearsome clash Driven from the field they say, powerful as thunders crash. Heroes cheer, victory, still they mourn the cost A toast held high, a drink or two, for the ones they lost. The battle, yes, the battle stopped at last. This pack of wolves must move on, a tale for their past. Soren Navaar (Count of Seven Rivers)
Letter from Nerta the Weaver Message sent to Everyone in The Old Gods Soren, The Old Man will not stop singing this now. I hope you're happy. He just mutters about Gor Ault and some ancient war. Nerta the Weaver (Foederati)
Letter from Nerta the Weaver Message sent to Everyone in The Old Gods A few more legends have been recorded in the library. Some are more, colourful than others... Anyone know of any other local stories? Nerta the Weaver (Foederati)
