Knight of Muspelheim

Escaping his execution at the hands of the Zuma in Nightmarch, the Demon of Dwilight found asylum in the Morek Empire. In order to remain in the Empire he had to agree to a set of terms from the Grandmaster outlined in the following letter. This is made public so that Bowie can be held accountable for his actions and not transgress the Grandmaster's trust. Almost immediately Bowie was forbidden from entering the Duchy of Aegir by Duchess Alison and a few regions in the Duchy of Donghaiwei.

While the Empire around him split and reunited, and the continent poured into an even greater war, Bowie spent the Summer of 13 YD and the Fall of 14 YD conducting civil work. During these dull days, Muris Vecchio Ratto, the Dean of Arts in the Dwilight University, shared with him some interesting documents about the Waywatchers army in the Occidens. Additionally, Bowie finally completed his historical series, The Conquest of Northnastrond!.

Freedom of Ducal Mobility

After the conquest of the secessionist city of Aegir in the Fall of 14 YD, thus the end of Entai, the new Duke Garad Jhaelen Irsei lifted Bowie's ban from entering the Duchy of Aegir. This occurring a season after Marchioness Varchilde Esotericus, on behalf of the Astromancer Church, expressed her opinion that Bowie was not possessed by a demon (though he is) and giving Duke Francois de Leon no more reason to bar Bowie from the Duchy of Donghaiwei. He now celebrates full mobility in the Morek Empire!

Trade Mission to D'Hara

As High Commissioner of the Dwilight Trade Company Bowie answered a trade call from D'Hara. He began his trip south in the Autumn of 14 YD. His first stop after exiting the borders of the Empire was to his former region Ashrak. After Ashrak, Bowie traveled to the Rogue city of Unterstrom. There he met with one of the Underground Lords, Shule, who was in command of the black market. By then it was winter and there was no food available. He then continued the next distance of his journey crossing Unterstrom Vorstadt, Tamirak, Shyussei and through the frozen forest of Nyuushi. Finally he entered the Desert of Silhouettes and prepared for another long ride. Nearing the end of the winter Bowie reached Sallowtown. He was not as welcome as an incarnate god and Prince should be, but he threatened the Sallowsians to be more obedient to him the next time he arrived. Meanwhile, he heard that the Zuma Ambassador, Garret Artemesia, was staying in Port Raviel, allegedly to ensure Bowie does not transgress his boundaries. Bowie visited the memorial statue of Duke Hexic Jeckyl while he crossed through Qubel Lighthouse, reminiscing of the times they lived and fought. Unbeknownst to the Demon of Dwilight, a tracker sent by Sir Gustav Kuriga, a religious opponent of Bowie, was following him on his trade mission with the intentions of setting a trap. Fortunately, he lost track of Bowie when he crossed the Qubel Channel. Bowie then made it to Port Nebel and accomplished his trade mission. He then began the long return home by boat.

"Trade Liaison of Corsanctum"

Returning to the Empire from his contract in D'Hara, Bowie learned that the city of Mimer was starving and decided to take an active role in supplying it. As the High Commissioner of the Dwilight Trade Company it is his imperative to respond to these sorts of needs. Working through the Dwilight Trade Company, the Libidizedd Trading Company, and with the Dukes of the Morek Empire he hopes to satisfy the plight of the city.

Exiting prison in the Summer of 14 YD, Bowie recompiled his historical series "The Conquest of Northnastrond!" into a new and larger series "The Great Continental War!" He also published his article on the "Siege of Valkyrja."
