Ch 5
In the South
Metha was a large Vik woman and had been the raid captain of her Mjot unit for years now. They trusted her and she them. She did not trust Illia on the other hand, hence why she had pestered him about settling a new village now that the war had ended. Finally he had allowed it but with one rule. She had to build a road to connect them to Veter Xhod, forcing them to continue in service to the Flame Hand. With a sigh, she turned to her men who had recently finished helping set up the barns for their caribou and log homes they would live in.

“My warriors, begin to bring logs to line the roads. We will connect these towns and continue as one people in the Warmth.” She yelled, there was a cheer and the men retrieved their axes and began to work. Meanwhile she called her lieutenant over and began to plot.

In Veter Xod
Zalia walked with the strange plans Andrik found in her hands. The paper felt so different than the leather strips they used for writing and communication, it was terrifyingly fragile. Slowly she made her way to the Heath of Veter Xhod. The temple was still an impressive structure towering over the other log homes in the area. Coming to the large double doors she paused. Being honest with herself Zalia didn’t like the head priestess Galia, but she needed another intelligent person to help her understand these designs. Taking a deep breath and letting a small amount of heat escape her lips Zalia entered the temple and greeted her overconfident sister.

At Sea on board the ship Ice Dancer.
Plav had always been comfortable at sea. His faith and use of the Warmth allowed him to swim and dive in the freezing ocean so long as he had a warm meal to get back to once he was out of the water. This was why he was able to find the wreck filled with gold.

“Captain!, Look to the sky” Called out one of the Pohen which his crew was transporting. The crew stood still and watched as one of the lights in the heavens fell. Plav smiled to himself looks like they had found another heading and he would be the first to discover it!
“Change course get men on those oars! We have a piece of heaven to clam!” He shouted a great smile splitting his face.

At the western mountains
Illia stood at the host of both raiding parties, Andrik stood to his side and glanced about nervously. The butterflies wouldn't settle in his stomach. They were going to hunt the great monster in the cave. Illia once he heard a skeleton moved on its own had declared it a being that must be destroyed. For without a body, how could it hold warmth. The plan was simple a few soldiers would go and attempt to lure the giant out of the cave by throwing spears at it. As soon as it came out all the People would come at it at fighting defensively. Once it was wounded enough men in groups of ten would “Hunt” it to prove their strength. Just like on a boar hunt, Illia placed his large hand on Andrik’s shoulder and smiled.

“Lure out the monster! We do this for all Living!” Illia cried and the horned people pounded their shields and screamed out war prayers.
__________Actions____________

Raere.png​

Lothrop is standing in front of his desk in his quarters. He takes out a piece of paper out from under the desk and sets it on top. He looks down at it for awhile, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. He takes a deep breath before closing his eyes, putting his hands together, and begins to speak.
"Dear Sheran, I know you're probably wondering why I'm writing to you for only having been several days since I've departed from the Blessed Woods. I just figured an update would just...Be appropriate...So far, Blytrieux and I have become Masters; wouldn't you believe it. At our very own scholarium here on the mountains. Not to pride myself or anything. As of late, tensions have run high as there is some unknown yet eerie presence being felt all through-out the mountains. No one can place it just yet but whatever it is, it frightens me. Yes, I am frightened. It happens to us all. I've took it upon myself to investigate these occurrences. Strange figures on the mountains taking our livestock, strange ruby-like crystals and living runes that we've never seen before. It's all so strange but maybe if we understand the situation, we need not fear it...Hopefully. I hope all is well on your end. You do our nation a great service to our nation as we speak. I know this sounds abit sentimental coming from me but...I'd figure I'd just tell you that. Be looking forward to seeing you again sometime."
- Lothrop

Lothrop opens his eyes and looks at the paper, everything he had said having been written on it. He takes it, rolls it, and leaves his quarters. Once he makes it out of the quarters castle, he whistles before holding the paper roll up over his head, which is then taken by a bird. Lothrop follows the trail being share by busy pass-byers who are still hard at work. He sees pile of ruby-like crystals piled up outside the caves with Blytrieux looking down at them intently. Lothrop walks besides her and on deeper look, she seems to be in a trance of some sort. Like the stones have her mesmerized. He then notices that tears are streaming down the side of her face. Lothrop puts a hand on Blytrieux's shoulder in confusion and in response, she slowly turns to look to Lothrop; her eyes wide with fear. Lothrop almost jumped out of his own skin for a moment, like she was trying to engrain what she had just seen into his own mind. She soon turns away from him and slowly walks away, leaving Lothrop feeling he had just seen an apparition. He had to sort this all out and fast. If this all continues, everyone will be rendered to madness

Lothrop took a team of 10 denizens up the mountain peaks to investigate these strange occurrences. Whoever was behind this have been seen further up the mountains. Thanks to the many years of mining, the trails made to get around them have made it all much more smoother, but the trails come to a stop and they're left looking around the mountain tops. Suddenly, Lothrop catches the sight of something. A silhoutte of a humanoid figure in broad daylight. It's eyes glowing red. The sight freezes him in his place as the two look at each other. Like strangers. It suddenly turns and retreats and that's when Lothrop comes to and calls his search party and go after what he had just saw. When they follow they soon find that the ground beneath them crumbles and the entire party plummet into the abyss. Lothrop's minds is hazzy and his body is...weak. That shouldn't be the case....Never for Raereans. He opens his eyes to see the large hole they fell through, so far above them.He blinks tiredly as he can hear the faint cries of his party falling ill to some inhuman sounds of sorts. He opens his eyes again to find two figures with glowing, red lights standing over him. He blinks again and this time, he can feel himself getting dragged away but can still here faint cries of help and anguish, followed by the sounds.
----------------------
Gagiel Ade is standing in some strange courtyard. The stone ground he stands on crossed cobove pure, pristine waters as blue as the skies above. He stretches his hands forth as they team with a dive aura. Gagiel Ade begins to sway them calmly and the water sways with him. Gagiel Ade begins to sway his hands with more force behind him and the water too begins to crash violently. Gagiel Ade suddenly raises his hands above his head and the water rises up into the air likes pillars among the trees. The points at one pillar, then then another, and another, and out from the pillars of water come all the animals of nature formed by water dancing about in whimsy and joy. Gagiel Ade puts his hands up and throws them down, the water too return to their pools. Gagiel Ade takes a breath as he relaxes his muscles

"Quite the exercise, hmm Gagiel?" Streinuard gests as he approaches behind the Ascendant

Gagiel Ade smirks "That it was, old friend. What is it you come to discuss with me?"

"This may come to a surprise to you...But I've come to discuss expansion." Streinuard says, almost not even wanting to believe those words were coming out from his own mouth

"I must admit. That is quite the discuss I wouldn't have thought you would even entertain."

"Trust me, it wasn't....Until I have taken record of our population numbers. Within a couple of months, we've went from just under 1,000,00 to just above 2,000,000. I never would've forseen this day coming so soon. And unfortunately, the Blessed Woods don't seem to have the space or the expendable resources to accommodate it. So I'm seending the surplus denizens east to the coast aswell as sending Sheran to lead and expedition across the Grand Mirror to the island that lies at it's center. The families of those who remain at the Aralakh Mountains will also be sent there to free up some space for us."

"This is quit the exodus, Streinuard. But so long as the Empyre ordains it, we will do so. Has Jelich sent his monthly report yet?"

"No, Ascendancy. Probably a delay, I'm sure. But I will go and make preperations for this endeavor."

"Indeed. May the stars grace us, and my the cosmos accept us."

Streinuard bows and leaves

Sheran out in the courtyard with her many students, having each one show her how to cast Eagle's Holding. A rudementary entrapment spell, commonly use to catch game. Their target is a raccoon and the objective is to capture it using the spell. One of her students tries to cast Eagle's Holding but has difficulty.

Suddenly, a bird flies over head and drops a roll of paper at Sheran's feet. She picks it up and unravels it. As she reads it, her smile fades and worry and tinge of sadness soon encompasses her soul. She slowly wraps up the letter.

Thrazir was leading his army into battle. Within a week they quickly made a battering ram and started surrounding the orcish fortress. And now it was the time, Thrazir lead he’s army and began the attack on the orcs. The dwarvish warhorns could be heard from miles away.

Durir even though he bribed many dwarves, still had some coin left. He walked to the Mercenary captain. He knew that the captain like this place, he said many times that this was the most beautiful place he ever encountered. And even the dwarves weren’t immune to the beautiful nature around this island. And Durir made the proposition that he would build houses for all the mercenaries and their families. In exchange they would become the trade/war fleet of the dwarves.

Actions:
- attacking the orc settlement
- negotiations with the mercenaries begins
 
Turn 8, Month 3, Week 1, Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

The weather had begun to start to get colder as next month would begin the winter and with it the snow. The jungles have begun the wet season where rain would become a near constant.

Inziim thought long and hard about his recent encounter at the mountain. It would be nice to talk to someone else truly outside his faction for once. A fellow leader of their people and perhaps a fellow perceiver of the message of peace.

----------------------------


The Kingdom of Attolia
8 Coin, 36 Population , 7 Light Infantry, 2 Light Cavalry, 1 Engineer, 1 Wolf Unit, 1 Light Boat, 1 Hrignak(Elite Unit)

A mage tower was constructed for the benefit of the old man spellcaster. With it's placement, he has recruited an apprentice to help carry on his life's work after he is gone.

The Light Calvary Unit made contact with the insect people and have gained favorable relations in their dealing against the dreaded ORCS.

The Engineer Unit arrived at an incredible scene. Partially embedded in the rock was a large singular piece of metal with crystals that looked as though it were crafted by means unknown to their civilization. The rock itself seemed unusual and after some testing, was discovered to be made of far stronger stuff than any of their weapons. That could be used through specialized means to give them an edge in combat. (+2 Space Rocks, +1 Unknown Metal Object)

In the newly built Fort, 2 more conscript units were trained in preparation for the inevitable combat against the ORCS.

As they arrive, off in the distance and closing quickly, from the Southeast, an army of elementals is closing in and from the South West, a ship flying in the sky being commanded by upright lizard people is approaching. Once the ship lands, the leader of the group appears to wish to speak. (Diplomacy opened)

Ludia Maroza (The people of Frost)

26 Coin, 22 Population, 6 K Troops

Khanzhig Turn 8.6.png

The troops in the mountain attack the Bone Golem, which roars in rage as their launched javelins either missed or got caught in between the openings between the bones. They managed to avoid any sort of retaliation from the Golem as it lunged in furious attacks, hitting walls and attempting to smash its new foes.

The Road has been constructed at the halfway point between the capital and the settlement.

The Boat arrives at the island where the star crashed and deep within a crater the crew spots a large rock that is still smoking.

Khanzhig Turn 8.8.png

The Troops explore the ancient cathedral and find all kinds of artifacts on unknown purpose, most likely for a religion that has long since been deceased. However, they do find a large pile of golden coins that can aid the Kingdom and plans for a sea fortress which with current materials and crafting capabilities are unable to create yet. (+10 Coin, Sea Fortress schematics)

As the troops make contact with the natives on the island, they are greeted with kind smiles and warm tropical foods to combat the harsh cold air of the coming winter. (Diplomacy Open).

Kingdom of Tartarus

​
With the seasons changing, the lives of the desert people changed as well. The cooler weather meant they were indoors more often and fewer festivities took place. Normally there would be food shortages for the masses, but the construction of the new farming settlement will change that.

DEF394EC-D957-4441-9C73-D1F6CD26E49C.jpeg

The silver-eyed God-King lounged upon his throne while daily reports were read to him by members of the city guard. It was all routine drivel and issues that didn’t truly need his attention, so he was a bit in and out of the interaction, eyes elsewhere while the men spoke. That is...until they mentioned a flying ship. That sparked the king’s interest greatly and he sat up right away. When he inquired about the ship they explain that it was only a rumor, something going around and believed to have been started by the slaves. Maat was inclined to believe them as the slaves were always conjuring up fantasies to either scare their master or distract themselves. A flying ship...that was no easy feat.

The end of the daily reports was marked by the arrival of Maat’s advisors and a sorcerer from The Circle. The three figures bowed to their sovereign and kept their heads down. “What do you three need?” He questioned in a somewhat irritated tone.

“The army is ready to head out, my liege. At your command we can send them to procure the fallen star fragment.” Arkhan, the external affairs advisor explained briefly with his head still hanging. He was young, especially for a Helian, but the dusty grey horns atop his head made him appear an elderly man. On top of that he was wise beyond his age which only served to make him appear older.

“I‘ve have come to report that the new settlement of Shedet is ready to receive its slaves, Sire.” Ptolemy was the overseer of all internal affairs within Tartarus, a lofty title with an overwhelming amount of work.

“And I have come to accompany you, My King. Assuming you plan to move with your army.” Hotep announced in a soft voice. He was a member of The Circle and while he was of no real importance, his skill in the arcane was worthy of his position.

Maat was thrilled to hear only good news from his subordinates, happy even. It seemed that the star had brought them good fortune after all. Suddenly he rose from the throne and as he did, all the slaves present, fell to their knees in worship. “We may need the full force of our army to move the star, prepare every soldier to march.” Maat moves across the room silent as death, his footsteps unheard even by those beside him. “I wish to see this...gift with my own eyes as well so I will travel to the star myself.”

In the past, rulers of Tartarus only ever left the kingdom in times of war. Their presence on the field of battle both inspired the soldiers and the sorcerers. This occasion however was worth living the capital and the territory of the kingdom entirely.

The army was assembled within the palace courtyard, every skeletal warrior and archer waiting for their master’s command. “We march east to the fallen star!” Nast declared. Instantly the army turned towards the exit and as he climbed into his palanquin, the army started to move. Carried by slaves, the palanquin followed behind the undead army and Hotep walked at his King’s side.

Actions:

1. Use all action points to march 3x Tartarus warrior units and 2x Tartarus Archer units on the fallen star fragment.
 
Northwest of The Witch’s Forest


The men were awakened by the sentry late at night, “I- I saw it! A star fell from the sky. The world is ending! It disappeared over the horizon! I have no idea what we’re going to do!

The leader of the group was a gruff man and quickly woke hearing the yelling and he managed to get a decent idea of what was happening, “Calm down!” he ordered harshly as he looked at the man, “Have you been drinking on watch.”

The man shook his head, “No boss, I wouldn’t lie about nothin’ like this either. We need to warn the city! They have to raise an army!”

The leader saw the mans’ heavy breathing, “Then go.” He said coldly, “You will return to Arrisia and tell them precisely what you saw. But the rest of us will travel towards this fallen star. If it is such a threat. It will be best to see it for ourselves no?”

The man was gone before he finished speaking, grabbing the few things he would need before heading off in the dark of night. “It seems he may have been telling the truth,” the boss said watching him foolishly run off. “If he makes it back then we will get reinforcements. In the meantime, in the morning we will gather our things and rush west.”

“But boss? How do we know it’s to the west?” one man asked.

“If you were as terrified as him would you run towards it?” the boss said as he went back into his tent.

---------------------------------------------------TURN 8---------------------------------------------------

Hanon ceased his tireless efforts and looked upon his new city. It was bright and glorious, perfect for the work that was put into it. The capital of the Unity would stand as a testament to the efforts of his people. He wiped the sweat from his brow and put his tools to his belt. He walked along the new paths, admiring the city in all its glory. As he walked along the path, he considered the future of his kingdom. The world was a dangerous place, unforgiving, and he had already had too many issues with 'rowdy' citizens in the past. As he paced in thought, an Iron Guardsman approached him.

"Good uniter, there is much turmoil in this country," he began, walking along with his valiant leader, "Other kingdoms have appeared in the distant lands, and the camp of Overlook reports seeing a 'star' fall from the sky."

A star? thought Hanon, Surely that's impossible. "Conscript, send word to Overlook. Have them find that star. It could be a very dangerous artifact." The soldier saluted his good leader and took off running. "May your heart carry you valiantly."


-END OF TURN/UPDATE-

1 Iron Guard unit moves South once and South East once to land on fallen star (black arrow, -2 turns)

Capital upgrade complete (-1 turn)
 
Construction continued at a furious pace in Attolia as new buildings continued to seemingly pop up in the middle of the night. However, on the outskirts of the Kingdom, various discoveries and interactions were made. To the south, Hrignak had brought the Attolians to the remains of some treetop ruins in his forest. What these ruins were... no one really knew, but the Attolians would certainly investigate this odd sight. In addition, to the west, a new expedition was set up to continue venturing west into the unknown, but at least this time they had their new Wolven companions as guides and friends who would keep an eye out for trouble.

The shipwright got a new project, a rather big one. He had yet to build new ships ever since his shipwrightry was built, but this project was much less tedious than building the classic light ship. He was instructed to come up with a design for a new ship that was sturdier and more able to withstand the dangers of the seas. The recent episode with the Orcs trying to enthrall a Leviathan was... concerning as the waters become harsh and threatened the Light Ships. This was a weakness that could not be tolerated. Thus, the Attolians started to invest time into designing and building a new ship. They had the resources after all. The Attolians had a giant forest's worth of wood, which was the lifeblood of a naval fleet.

To the East, the Attolians had made contact with the local insectoid people called the Chrysmorphia. Initial talks were productive and Attolia had walked out of the discussions with a Non-Agression Pact, a trade agreement, and an ally against the Orcish horde.

Lia sat on her throne as she dealt with the the wound she still had on her side , gently applying the Mi-ri gel on the wound . She is quite pleased this day. They got an growing alliance out of their meeting with the humans from across the ocean . Though she first wants to see their true motives after this fight with the orcs. Her throne room was silent with the absence of her council but her head was filled with their speech. They weren't talking to her directly but they knew their queen was listening in so they freely shared their thoughts and if Lia didn't like it she would intervene and form a slight discussion about why she disagreed . Conra and Redev where at odds again , they were finding it hard to come up with a way to upgrade the defenses of the city but they seemed determined enough not to give up just yet. Fi-re was currently at the Harmony Tree , he joined in with the worship to mother nature today . Her avatar of war seemed to be in the clear as he had just come from the shrine where he paid respect to the soldier that they lost on the battlefield against the dreaded orcs .

"Avatar , i can see that my council is currently busy but you had some free time on your hands , i want you to over see the training of 4 unit types , i want you to first over see the training of 2 more Dragonfly scouts and then after that 2 more ant archers . The orcs are bound to retaliate and just because we have allies now , doesn't mean we can slack off , Harmony may be our way but we must always be prepared to defend mother earth " she said to which her avatar nodded and turned towards the birthing pods to carry out his queens orders

============================================
Action 1 : Continue research
Action 2 and 3 : First train 2 Dragonfly scouts then after that , train 2 Ant archers​

​
Avalynne exited her bedroom, making her way down the stairs when she saw that there were several ravens from her troops that she had sent on travels, she winced at the reading she would have to do - but nevertheless she grabbed them from the mail room and headed in the direction towards her study. "You appear to be well again," A soft voice that Avalynne didn't recognize spoke up. Avalynne turned, seeing a young human girl whose appearance was less than favorable. "Sorry, my lady, I was the one who attended to you while you were sick." Sick was an understatement, Avalynne felt like she was dying - although it was some disease that passed rather quickly, though violently. "My name is Clairvoyance, my lady." Such an odd name for a human, Avalynne thought but shook the thought away.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, young Clairvoyance." Avalynne replied, giving the girl a soft smile before she looked at the papers that were in her hands. Stacks upon stacks of writings that she knew would take hours. "I have to ask, how did you become acquainted with medicines? It's still a mystery to some of us." Avalynne knew that most Nymphs dabbled in medicine, some Sirens did as well. Humans always managed to get the shorter stick, and as a result got a poorer education from it. The young girl, who Avalynne could see becoming panicking, began to stutter for words. "It's fine," Avalynne said with another smile. "I did some mischievous things when I was younger as well - it's nice to see that everyone is wanting to expand their horizons." Avalynne was about to turn away when the girl stopped her.

"I wish to become a physician." Clairvoyance said. "I know of the lottery, and the chances of becoming a physician are slim, but I just know that I will become a physician." Avalynne could see herself in the girl, wanting to becoming so badly that you hoped it would come true, for the girl's sake and Avanlynne's curiosity she hoped that it became true just for the girl's name alone.

"What are you doing?!" Dhovan's voice boomed throughout the corridor, causing both of the girls to jump. "My lady, you should be resting," Dhovan said quickly to Avalynne before turning back to the girl behind him. "As for you, Miss Gringslet has been searching for you for the past hour and a half - back to the kitchen, young lady." Dhovan said with a slight apprehension in his voice. Dhovan was a strict Dark Elf when it came to roles within the kingdom. "You did your part of making medicine for our lady, and for that you should be thankful that I managed to keep Miss Gringslet from finding out what you were doing. I can't keep stalling her for much longer, Claire." Dhovan said as he saw that the girl was about to cry.

"No worries," Avalynne began. "I'm appointing her as an apprentice for Physician Melphite - he would enjoy some company in his laboratory." Dhovan seemed to have froze as Avalynne said this, Clairvoyance's face in shock as she said this. "If the girl has healed me, like you and she claims, she is obviously better off becoming a physician than a kitchen maid."

"What about the lottery?" Dhovan asked. "We created it so there wouldn't be anger amongst the civilians!"

"That is why we start publicising that she saved my life, that is why she is becoming an apprentice. When Melphite dies, or wishes to move on, if Clairvoyance's skills prove to be up to par with his - or dare I say surpass them - she will become the next physician." Avalynne held her head high, as if daring Dhovan to come up with another excuse. "I'll be in my study, catching up on mail while you escort Clairvoyance - or as you called her, Claire," Dhovan's cheeks flushed at this to which made Avalynne smirk, wondering if Dhovan may been courting the girl. "To her room to gather her things and have some maids prepare a room for her in the laboratory." Dhovan's mouth opened and closed as she said this before walking away with Clairvoyance alongside him.[.pindent]


Avalynne looked over the letters that she had received, seeing that her troops had made contact with natives on the island, the idea of setting up a trade route entered her mind. She also wondered where to set up a settlement - they could restore the cathedral that the troops she sent north talked about in the letters, making up her mind she began writing back to the troops about what to do. Start diplomacy with the natives on the small island, perhaps see if they would be willing to have neighbors on the land. For the troops in the north, they would begin fetching supplies from the capital and begin creating a new settlement there, later restoring the cathedral as they saw fit. After finishing this, Avalynne allowed the ravens to send the letters, hoping that they would be flying fast to get to the people.

"Clairvoyance has settled into her new room and she shall begin training as early as tonight if she is needed by Melphite." Dhovan suddenly said from the door. Avalynne nodded at this before looking out of the window, seeing the ocean from her study. "This just came in from the troops to the north. it looks like building plans." Dhovan replied, handing the document to Avalynne who opening it - seeing what appeared to be a fortress on water, much like barracks. Avalynne's face furrowed as she tried to make sense of it. "I've alredy assigned builders to venture there to attempt to build it-"

"Don't," Avalynne replied. "Look at this, Dhovan." She pointed to something, columns that appeared to be ensuring that the fortress doesn't sway in the sea. "That isn't wood - or stone that I know of that the architect seemed to have replicated on this blue print." Avalynne said. "I don't know what it is, but perhaps we should have builders try to find something similar to this. Wood ends up giving way to the sea, as we have had to repair boats in the past. Stone, while it sinks can become unstable if the pressure on top of it is unbalanced." Dhovan nodded before Avalynne gave the schematics back to him. "When we can find something that can overcome the harshness of the sea - that's when we will be able to build it."

    Osena Dewrise​
    After some time underground, the exploration team returned to the surface with Magen and the body of a golem in tow. The Darkness Spirits growled appreciatively when the hard stone beneath them was replaced by grass. They lowered the golem on their back at a clearing. It was only after he dismissed the spirits did Ravus noticed two things; the structure of the portable Cultivation Wagons and formation of other facilities were improved. If that was not surprising enough, Osena was the one ordering the Elementals and Spirits around.

    "I never thought you would be interested to rule." Osena didn't respond. She continued to give out orders to the Spirits. Ravus, used to the Water Elemental's antics, waited patiently on the side. After the rest of the Spirits moved out, Osena turned toward Ravus.

    "It cannot be helped. There lied an emergency." Ravus eyes turned into a slit. He had a bad premonition.

    "What emergency?"

    Osena narrated everything without a pause. From the fall of the star to the departure of Ragna and Valerie. His voice was monotonous, like an observer watching a show he was not interested in. After he was finished, he waited for Ravus to comment. The Dark Elemental didn't do so immediately. He mulled over the matter for a moment.

    "I trust Ragna will know the right decision. Even so, we need to prepare for the worst. Prepare to move toward the star. With everyone."

    Osena answered with a nod. Ravus called the dispersed Spirits to prepare for a journey. Under his leadership, all of them turned into Darkness Spirits. Amalgamation form was used. Just as he prepared to leave, he remembered something.

    "We found a catacomb of golems underground. Magen was the only survivor. Treat her as an esteemed guest. Find out if we can use the golem we found as a vessel for incomplete Spirits as we did with trees."

    Again, Osena answered with a nod. After Ravus left, Osena ordered for everyone to prepare to move. They would leave the forest behind, but they had Elementals willing to stay over. Perhaps the forest would net them a surprise at a different time. Osena turned to the forest. Before he left, he wanted to explore it a bit. Something was bothering him about it. Like there was a secret from the ritual they did not know of.

    Osena explored alone, unaided by anyone.

    During the night , the veil of a long hidden city has lifted , the strange building peeking high as the country of Mara-sarma has been revealed . The Capital city of Voicia was more alive then ever. The music filled their streets and the side walk stages were filled with their dancers keeping the city alive . While the citizens enjoyed their lives , the Duchess thought about the future of the city and the nation . Food was the first thing they had to get out of the way.

    She notified her workers that it would be best to build some docks so that they can fish or else their civilization is as good as dead.With that a portion of workers moved to the ocean to start construction on a dock node. With the food being solved , the Duchess felt that now since the city is in the open , it would require some basic defenses. A wall was the first thing to come to mind. Again she notified her workers and a portion of them spread about the city so that they can raise a wall around the city.

    Feeling that her current choices for the city was enough for now , she walked out of her palace and glanced at the city of Voicia "Hmmmm....you aren't defended enough me dear city , even with the wall i am going to build . Even the wall needs protection so a summoning of new guards would be just perfect " she said as she walked down to the summoning circle and preformed the ritual to bring 2 more Flint Fighters into the world

Word arrived back to Tokotol quickly, both NokNok and TikTaq's expeditions had come across natives. The initial news of NokNok was positive, the less advanced tribe willing to allow the Itzan to build on their land. However what followed was the news that there was some form of deity living in the mountains who wanted to talk to Tokotol personally. The Kroakun sat silently with the news, never envisioning leaving his nations lands but his interest was certainly piqued. 'This is something that will need to be done.' His thought was kept to himself before he dispatched a tyradon, a small flying lizard often used for long distance communication. He attached a message to the small creatures leg before sending it off to NokNok all those miles away.

Next on his agenda was the news of further natives that TikTaq had come across but these were far beyond the capability of the small village NokNok had met. News of the dead walking and large elemental creatures concerned Tokotol. He knew that if anyone could secure the star peacefully it would be TikTaq but failure to do so would result in the bloodshed of his brothers, something he could simply forgive. As such he commissioned the building of a new settlement on the large continent, creating a foothold on the land that would allow the Itzan to defend themselves if needed. Tokotol deeply hoped that there would be no death but no matter TikTaq's skills, some creatures just want to watch the world burn.

The battle was gruesome, many had fell to the savage greenskin beasts. The dwarfs thought they were attacking in stealth and wouldn’t be noticed immediately cause they attacked in the night. But that couldn’t be further away from the truth. The orcs had warg riders and other armies that ambushed the dwarven army. The dwarves were now stuck and were surrounded by enemies. The dwarfs managed to escape, but the losses were great. Many brethren were killed, and for the first time the dwarves witnessed a slaughter.

Thrazir send out a raven to the capital, he demanded reinforcements. He even took the time to write down the seriousness of this case. That this goes beyond family ties and other royal traditions. This would be a war that would decide if the dwarven race would survive. Thrazir ordered the recruitment of 3 ram units.

Lothrop's hazy mind began to clear up as the dripping of liquid against stone is continuous, but soon completely wakes up due to a beyond putrid odor filling his nostrils. He tries to move but feels himself being constricted by something...Sticky. A red ominous glow from the red crystals is his only source of light but it's enough for him to witness the horrendous sight before him: On the ground was an entire swamp of blood and bony remains from animals and humans alike. Above him, he saw several humans hanging having been bloated and mutilated. Their faces frozen in agony, he could even swear some of them were still breathing. Lothrop feels sick to his stomach. He feels scared. He even feels like crying. What could've possibly done this? What terrible being resides in these mountains? Lothrop closes his eyes and calms his mind the best he can. It's evident to him that he won't make it, so it was best he documented everything mentally seeing these would be his final moments."To anyone reading this, I am Lothrop, a former master of the Aralakh Scholarium. These are my final moments of my life. I had come looking for whatever unknown presence had inhabited these mountains and unfortunately, they had found us instead. I still don't know who they are. Or even if there is a they at all. I am currently attached to the chamber wall by some makeshift web-like mucus. I believe it's some kind of coagulate of animal fat. I'm contemplating my fate as of this moment...I do not know how long I have been hanging here. Hours no doubt. Maybe a whole day now. I can feel my eyes and nose scouring at the hideous stench."
Lothrop can hear distant screaming, crying, and begging. Lothrop wants to lower his head in sadness but can't as his head is also webbed.
"I...I can hear them...My crew that I had took with me to investigate the strange occurrences on the mountains...I don't know what's happening to them now but may the Empyre accept them...Accept us all."
Lothrop can hear squishing. Something is approaching him. In the glowing red, the very thing he's been after comes into view.
"I...I see it...A humanoid figure no taller than 3 or 4 feet. A long-curved nose, pointed ears, wide-yellow eyes, completely hairless. Such a strange thing...."
The creature looks at Lothrop. The two holding each other's gaze like they did before, until suddenly jumps up to the bloated corpses above and bites into it. It then launches itself at Lothrop. Lothrop closes his eyes, prepared to die. The creature takes a hold of his face forces his mouth open with its own, forcing junks of raw, human with into Lothrop's mouth. Lothrop gags violently at the taste and the thought alone that he has been force-fed human flesh
"The creature that this settlement have been behind some of these occurrences...It's...Feeding me the flesh of it's victims...Apparently, I'm not getting off as easy as I would've liked."
The creature pulls back and shutters at the sound of a scream that's becoming louder and louder. One of the party members was being dragged by the legs by two other creatures. He was raving madly and trying to crawl away from it's adversary but it was no use. They pulled him to the center of the bloody pool, where there was a bird bath with black ooze dripping down into it from the mouths of the corpses hanging above. The two creatures force him up and tried to push him into the black ooze, but he was resisting. The two creatures pulled their head back and together push his face into the ooze before pulling him out. His screams having gone louder as the ooze was melting into his face like tar. The creatures weren't yet finished. The creature in front of Lothrop departed from him and was helping his fellow creatures pin him up against the chamber wall like they did him. Having accumulated some more of the coagulate flesh across the chamber and encased him in webbing next to Lothrop before leaving him there to scream.
"I have found out that there are more than these creatures about the mountain. One of my party members have been exposed to this black ooze. Similar to that one miner who's hand had taken a grotesque form. I wonder if the same would befall this one next. They stuck him against the chamber wall next to me as the only music I will be hearing for awhile will be the cries of anguish."
After a few hours, the man's voice gives out but he still screams anyway. His screams sounding like the honkings of a goose.
"Hours...After hours....His screaming finally ceased...Unfortunately, it took and even worse sound that my ears must bear for stars knows how longer. I can feel the dread settling in my mind. Will I rot hear? Will I live my last moments stuck here at these creatures mercy, thinking about what's to come while a man lives his worst nightmares next to me, while I engrave the image of blood, guts, bones, and decay? Surely, this must be Sheol itself...I...I want to cry, I want to scream, I want to vomit, but...I can't....My mind is either too frozen in fear or my thoughts alleviate some of the madness off my mind...All I can feel...Is fear. Something like that is inconsequential, if not just trivial. We usually fear smaller things like embarrassment or smiting the Empyre. But this...Is something different...I don't know what exactly I fear now...But all I know...Is that it's evil."

As the screw of their ship make it to the island across the lake, they immedately anchor the ship and send a scouting party instead. The walks themselves to the shore of the beach, stepping on magic runes with each step. One they are on land, Sheran immediately tells them to split up and explore the island. She on the other hand feels something unerving deep within the woods, causing her to immediatly call back her scouting part to traverse deeper into the island. It takes roughly half an hour before they come across a most terrifying site: a small ominous alter made of black obsidian that all around it is littered with bones of various shapes and sizes. On the alter itself lies a freshly gutted fish as an offering of some kind. Sheran inches closer to it and looking the "offering". "What in the name of the Empyre could've done all this? Savages of somekind?" She asks herself. She turns to her scouting team and tells them to look around the area for anything else to figure out what or who may be on the island

Turn 9, Month 3, Week 2, Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

The weather was now not the only thing turning colder. With the fall of the star and the race for the metals that it could contain, 3 nations have collided and seem to be on the warpath. Only time will tell if this is but a small skirmish or if it leads to something larger like a major conflict over not only resources, but also land and culture.

Inziim looks over the map and continues to follow the reports that his spies and scouts have given him. Whatever happened here might very well change the face of the continent for all times and he did not have enough information before him to predict which way this would go. All the combatants were from powerful nations, though the Aloiss had the most to lose in this conflict having brought all of their people to the fight.

TikTaq stood before his units, looking across the crater to the leader of the Kingdom of Tartarus. There was no certainty in the fighting that was soon to begin other than people would fall. All the Itzan on the field were prepared for death if it was their time to die but only the Gods knew how it would turn out. Win or lose, it would be down to their grand design.

"You have all trained for this...whether you die today or thirty years from now...Itza will take you in with opens arms!" TikTaq could see the false prophet opposite him raise his hand, his archers raising their bows in preparation to fire. "Ready..." Then with a crescendo of bowstrings being let loose TikTaq called out, "NOW!". The Itzan units started to run, charging towards their enemy. The skirmishers sprinted at a quick pace while the handlers had leapt atop the backs of their salamanders. The arrows began to pierce the ground although the nature of the units meant they were spaced further apart than typical rank and file infantry.

During the charge TikTaq commandeered a salamander for himself and drove it to the front of his men. He was going to be the first one into combat, no matter what. As the distance closed TikTaq smiled, gesturing with his finger towards the flanks of the enemy. Then with an almighty roar the horde of salamanders opened their mouths, their throats glowing blidingly bright before torrents of flame poured forth. Arcing through the air the streams of flame poured towards the front ranks of the Tartarus soldiers. Stone and bone alike would be reduced to a molten mess for those unfortunate enough to be caught in the tidal wave of fire. Behind the flames the skirmishers let loose their javelins, sending them sailing over the top of the fire.

With the first surge of flame complete the salamanders with their handlers on top of them barrelled into the lines of the enemy. TikTaq immediately leapt from the back of his salamander, swinging his macuahuitl straight at the head of the first skeleton to be in range. The enemy had several feet on the Itzan troops but what they lacked in height, they made up for in speed and agility. Add in the bulk of the salamanders, using their bodies as weapons and the skirmishers harassing the enemy from distance and there was every chance the fight could go their way. That said, the Gods worked in mysterious ways and if they wanted the forces under TikTaq to lose...then so be it.

    With walls standing high and proud and 2 new additions to the defense force , Mara-sarma and it's citizens can sleep a bit more soundly at night and feel safer during the day. Duchess Ziva was dancing about her city along with a citizen here and there as she inspected her fair city. While she was out she had a thought , a thought for the future . She stopped and looked around as her mind took the form of deep thought.

    What if they get future allies , how can they enjoy our culture and our ways , how can this problem be solved , what solution lies in her trail of thought . She looked up with a smile as she got her workers to spring to life with a new plan in mind brought on by their Duchess. A market was the answer , if she were to get allies to her city or at least visitors . Then it would be just fair to have a market for not just the citizen to buy and sell but also the visitors of this world and the quicker the better so the work force is doubled.

    She continued her minor dance along the city , adding a bit of a hum before another idea his her and the process repeated where her mind goes deep into though . What lies beyond these now newly constructed walls , is it really good to just keep everything inside these walls , is it possible to find allies and have them enjoy the beautiful moments of Wonder , creativity , joy , bliss and fulfillment. Is it not their trait to spread these things while accepting others and their things . With a smile once again spreading across her face she sent her Earth Shaker and 2 newly created Flint Fighters to explore around the city. She continued in joy around her city as she took in the lovely sight's , smells and sounds.
 
The Attolis found himself thinking back on his conversation with the Sister quite a bit. A god of what was holy and just. But what did just truly mean? Life was too complex for something or someone to be completely just or good. Yet in his mind, it was his duty to reach and try to make things as just as possible. Thus, King Wolff came to realize that the best way to make things as just as possible was to provide a framework, a code for the people to follow and understand. On top of that, there had to be a judicial system in place to implement these guidelines without bias. But, with the quickly expanding Kingdom and new cities, there had to be skilled administrators available especially as more cities were being raised at the very moment. Thus, several construction projects began to better serve the Kingdom and its citizens.

King Wolff looked across the water and at the island. He knew that many would die in the coming battle. The Royal Engineers were working near day and night to build accommodations for the worst case scenario. An Orphanage for the soon to be orphaned, and a hospital by the temple to help the injured. Two things that he wished he didn't need to do build, but it was naive to think that violence could always be avoided. He turned to the men waiting behind him for the ship to dock at the port so that they could get on. "Men, today, we go to fight for the sake of our family. If the ritual finishes, then our families and Attolia itself will be in danger. For this, I ask you to follow me into battle and to fight ferociously as my neighbors, brothers, and kinsmen. They're held together by only one Chieftain, whose death will rid us of the danger. If the opportunity presents itself, then focus on bringing him down so that the battle can end quickly and we may return to our families. May your shots land accurately and your strikes ring true. I will see you back here soon." The ship then began to slowly pull into the dock and the men marched forward.

Lady Lia sat in front of the Harmony tree , she really wished that there was another way but it seems that the orc leader as left them with no choice . She sat in silence as she waited for her council to join her . Once they were there , they all bowed their heads and prayed their most holy prayer . The Nemro prayer. This was the only way they think they can ask for mother natures forgiveness and guidance at the same time. Once done the council left her alone while she made one final prayer , a Sekro prayer " Dear Earth Mother , Herald of Nature i ask as a servant and child of nature , please , let your ancient child rest , play your lullaby of old , your melody of sleep , your symphony of the night , time and memorial . Let the dark calling of the orcs not stir your child from slumber , let your child not heed the dark calling , keep your child wrapped in the blanket of eternity , let your child rest in the crib of it's mother and let it dream the endless dream , forever undisturbed. May the sun light my path at it's darkest , my the moon guide me to safety at night and my your ever free will forgive my past , watch my present and protect my future " she finished her prayer as she stood and gave a final bow before leaving

She stopped next to her council by the gate "You alright Lady Lia " Conra asked as she nodded " tell me , what have you discovered , what new defenses can we add " she asked as they took her outside the wall , they were about to explain but she walked past them as she looked at the snow against the mountain wall " They are here but not " she asked as she looked back at them " yes my queen , they've been here all along , but none where grown because none knew of them " Tre explained "Conra get some nature speakers out her and grow them . I want to see these Snow Venus flytraps grow to the size they were meant to be to protect the entrances to the kingdom and any other future settlements " she said as she turned to her avatar of war and Fi-cu " we will move to aid the humans in stopping the orcs , that leviathan mustn't be awoken , we must let the old children of mother earth rest , for Cerebrim , for Chrysmorpia , for all the land , for mother earth , we march to the orc encampment " she said as she , her avatar and fi-cu marched with the army of cerebrim to where the orcs are

the two humansects were left to hold the fort , they thought to themselves , they should , along with growing the new snow venus flytrap defenses , they should probably also start with a building that can heal the wounded troops , sure they use Mi-ri gel but to heal but they need a place dedicated to it. They looked and talked among each other before nodding with a plan in mind . The Mi-ri Pods (basically the insecmorph version of a hospital)

And so it began with the the undead making the first move. A storm of arrows ripped through the air, whistling as their feathers caught the wind. The lizards and their less-sentient beasts were faster than anticipated and as they raced forward into the archer troops, Thoth the diplomat felt his blood run cold. Fire breathing lizards were like dragons, fearsome creatures of legendary power. Who had they started a war with and what weapons might this new enemy possess.

The God-King observed the tactics of the foreign creatures and in his mind he worked out the best option for his counterattack. The first thing that came to his mind instantly seemed like the best choice and with the fighting so near he didn’t have time to hesitate. “Thoth, find your nerve. The God and Goddess are with you.” The confidence in his voice as he stepped out of the palanquin visibly calmed the young diplomat, who quickly bowed his head in thanks, Maat removed his golden mask, raising it over his head and then setting it down on the palanquin. “Once I’ve cast my spell, begin the attack.”

As the archers threw down their bows and arrows to struggle against the living, Maat inhaled a very deep breath. His lungs filled with air until they were tight and his back arched. Right away Thoth knew what was coming and he, along with the four slaves, rushed to be anywhere but in front of their sovereign. Abruptly Maat leaned forward and exhaled. What came out was a rolling cloud of death the rushed across the open field towards the archers and the lizard creatures. The dense, purple fog raced over the send and right away it filled the air with a vile smell not too unlike the smell of burned flesh. Maat rotated his head left to right and the left again to cause the fog to cover a wider area. As the highly toxic cloud rolled on and started to wash over some of the Skeletal archers, Maat straightened up and ran his hands back through his hair. The deadly poison was a miasma of his own design capable of killing even his own people.

Once the fog of death was on its way toward the enemy, Thoth stepped back to his Kingks side and quickly conjured a shard of ice. Like a throwing knife and hurled it forward into the miasma, hoping to hit one of the lizards or their pets.

On the other side of the field, Hotep and the warriors stood in formation, awaiting the arrival of the other army. As a member of The Circle he was a well established Sorcerer and should be by his King’s side right now, but hisnmagic was needed elsewhere.

Yomi, Tartarus
With the King away to retrieve the star, guiding the nation fell to his advisors. In his absence they were the regents and thankfully their interests did not clash. Nor did their roles overlap. Today the two put into action affect a plan and policy they helped the King to create. “This will be where we build the first tomb.” Arkhan declared as he unraveled the blueprints for the new building. He stood under a giant palm leaf, held by a slave who was forced to endure the sun’s harmful rays. Ahead of him was an empty lot was he had sectioned off several squares, all of equal size and distance from one another. Each one would in time be a tomb,

Ptolemy approached the construction site and was followed a several slaves, each one carrying tools for building. “I’ve informed the slave masters of the new policy, they’ll see that it gets enforced.” He told Arkhan as he joined the other advisor in the shade. “By working the slaves without caring for their vitality, we can expedite any construction project, enabling us to...sacrifice them for the sake of time. We‘ll also be start gathering more slaves, as per his Majesty’s wishes.”

Arkhan watched as the shackled creatures started their tasks, toiling in the sun for a species that looked down on them. “Once the tomb is complete growing the army will be much easier as well. When the King returns we must have at least one of these completed.” Arkhan was still very young, so he possessed a passion for his work that Ptolemy had lost over a century ago. “Let’s leave them to it then.”

Jelich was in the chamber walking around with the runes being his only source of light. He rights vigorously in his journal, trying to keep up with their ever changing shapes. The more he writes down more of the runes, the more vexed he finds himself getting. These runes kept change around and whispering so many things, like ballroom full with with party-goers. It was aggravating him yet the want to learn more about them has him continuing on. Unbeknownst to him that someone has entered the chamber with him until they put a hand on his shoulder. Jelich quickly turns around, having be shocked out of his own inner thoughts, to see Blytrieux
"Master, I...Forgive me for interupting you, but it's Lothrop. It's almost been two days now and he has not yet returned. I do not wish to think that the worst has befallen him...But something must be done."

"...Ofcourse. Ofcourse! I'll go see if I can find him or any of the denizens he took with him on his investigation." Jelich closes his journal "I leave you in charge while I'm away. I have a feeling, I too will be away for awhile myself, but rest assured I'll be back with Lothrop in toe." Jelich assures as he is about to leave the chamber

"Master. I haven't exactly..." Blytrieux rubs her head "I havent been right in the head as of recently. Are you most confident that I can take charge in your stead?"

Jelich turns to Blytriuex but even in the darkness, he can make out a look of tiredness in her face "It is but temperorary,Blytrieux. For my sake and everyone elses, let the stars guide you. As it always has." He pats her on her shoulder before showing her out with him. Wherever Lothrop is, he'll find him. He wouldn't dare leave his former student at the mercy of whatever presence resided here.

    When Ravus ordered everyone to prepare for war, Osena remained silent. Even so, he disapproved of the Primordial Dark Elemental's choice. When he went to war, what would happen to the Elementals and Spirits that followed? Apart from the Spirits taught to fight, the rest of them could not defend themselves. A mock battle between a trained Spirit and an untrained Spirit in the past had proved how cruel war was to the civilians.

    "Darkfell!" Valerie called out. Ravus did not turn to her.

    "Osena, please lead everyone to the sea." Water made a huge splash on the ground. Osena didn't except this. Then he nodded. Without another word, he turned to the colony and left for the sea. His action left Valerie with her beak wide open.

    "Did you just make Osena take responsibility?" she asked, amazed.

    "As long as it relates to the matter of water, he will be interested," Ravus answered disinterestedly. " he was just not interested in matters of the land."

    "Really? I never noticed!"

    Ravus ignored Valerie's quip. His eyes were focused on the field in front of him. When he comprehended his path to be a Darkness Elemental, he was gifted with memories and knowledge of war. Brilliant tactics used by famous general, military internal affairs, and the path to raising moral... which he had never used since the Spirits were interested in anything related to knowledge. Their morale was at an all-time high.

    He did not need the star fragment; Aloiss didn't need it. Even so, it had a significance for them in that this was the Elementals' first battle. No amount of knowledge could replace experience. Ragna climbed out of the crater. The vibration he created as he walked was not felt by Ravus. He didn't have legs.

    "Are you confident?" The Primordial Earth Elemental asked in a heavy voice. Ravus didn't answer.

    "Accompany Magen. Ensure that she isn't hurt. Valerie, return to the forest and continue the research for golems implementation."

    "What research?" Valerie looked confused. Not that it changed anything. The research team trained by her could do well without her help. Ravus just wanted an opportunity to send her away from the battlefield.

    After Ragna convinced Valerie to leave, he nodded toward Ravus before walking toward Magen.

    It was time. Ravus raised his longsword to the air. A dark pillar was raised to the air.

    "All troops! Distant Water for Distant Fire!"

    The Spirits reacted to his command. The Cold Spirits gathered Cold Energy between their antlers, while the Earth Spirits did the same before heading for the sky. At the same time, freezing cold spheres and humongous stones were shot toward Tartarus units.
