OCC: Haha, my Parabunnies could make short work of you! (Seeing us charge will paralyse even the bravest of souls with terror.) /OCC I wish to make a trade agreement with the Osmar tribe. We have food to trade! (Base: Jungle/Plains. We have a weakness to a kind of berry that we use as a poison. )
The Osmar accept your proposal and in return will provide our finest goats hair.

The Great Spoon is now in command of the Osmar. The Spade's Son still remains in control of an island under the Great Spoon.
After sharpening stones my people have tied them to sticks and created spears.
They have then took these and shaped wood to create powerful spear throwers (Atatl)
The activity with the pebbles continued, my people now know basics of Mathematics.
Using this, their construction improves greatly. They create huge log throwers (ballista) and boats large enough to put these on.

The secrets of the bloodstick has been discovered by us, we now have a more effective tool. We have tied ropes to many of them so they can been thrown and pulled back by our hunters, this is especially useful for fishing.

OOC:
Detailing the Osmar Faith for you guys. Two objects are worshipped.
Tenebris: The Dark between the Stars
Crehl: The Ocean.
In the night sky, the dark is prevalent, but there is still light, the Osmar believe that Tenebris(The dark) is more powerful and allows there to be light.
Crehl follows a similar idea, there is more water than land, Crehl allows there to be land.

The blood of animals has stained some of our pouches, a crafty tribesman unravels his into a flat piece. Using the blood, he creates a representation of our village with The Crehl at the bottom. He points out that the plant of Fives is at the direct opposite side and draws the leaf on the top of the map. He also marks the location of the river relative to these.

OOC: Sorry about the wait... went to get hair cut. The Parabunnies accept, They give you axes and teach you to mine stone. The Parabunnies begin molding steel into armour. +Steel armour.
OOC: It's cool.
With the new axes we can now cut down trees, and now we know how to mine stone we can create our own stone axes.
The trees are cut up into logs which are then tied together as rafts. We take them out into the Crehl and discover larger fish.
Nets are created from the rope, these are ideal for fishing.

As some tribesmen were mining stone they discover something underneath, a shiny, bright metal. (Tin) They dig further around and discover a large deposit of it and a second metal, reddish and duller. (Copper)
They take some back and heat it greatly. As it cools it forms a much stronger material.
+Bronze.

Celebrations in the village as the wondrous new metal arrives, rafts are built, a surplus of fish is brought back, trees are cut.
The new metal in particular begins to replace spear tips and axe heads, increasing the effectiveness of these items.

As you probably could tell from the other thread, we very quickly abandoned the actual game aspect(congratulations btw at sticking to it far longer than we did) in favor of more of a collaborative narrative so this is all a bit unfamiliar to me. OOC: We were all progressing far too fast so we decided for a reset. Crown explained it as the Vagabonds discovered an ore that allowed them to create ships that can travel to space. Vagabonds still remember their history, but the Parabunnies have forgotten. The others I can't speak for. You could make a people native to this planet. Rest of the stuff you need is on page 1.
OOC: The Osmar have much shorter lifespans than the others, and as such they believe they have always been on this planet. By the way, nice duel/story back there, I'll post a response after I eat.

The tribe mourns as it's ruler dies. The elders convene and proclaim Hroth as their new chieftain.
With the recent conflict between the other tribes, Hroth believes that he knows what the visions meant, the Osmar must prepare to defend themselves.
Following these visions and with bronze tools, he carves into wood. He creates an object into which Bloodsticks sit comfortably, with a notch to catch them. This allows them to be thrown at immense speeds.

A moments silence is observed as they watch the canoe drift into the horizon. After some time, Morcar speaks up "I was once told that you listen to the winds...Can you hear them now? What are they saying?"

Recently, the tribesmen have stopped referring to Morcar as chief, rather, they've been using the term "King." The elders proclaimed that the Kingdom should stay under the rule of his family following the recent events.
The blacksmiths of improved their ability, making Bronze armour, however it is especially time consuming and difficult to make.
The only people permitted to use this armour are the Royal Guard, or "Knights". Bronze shields have also been made and are available for the general military.
Gatherers have discovered a fruit, called Apples, they have brought it back to grow.

Night falls and the battle rages on, the Osmar confidence is bolstered under the watch of Tenebris. Bodies are strewn across the beach but the creatures are being driven back. Morcar buries his axe in the head of one when he hears Wulfgar speak up.
"Sir...I know it's not the best of times, but do the faces seem familiar to you?"
The king looks down confused at his latest kill. It's as if he knew it once, although being split in two it's almost impossible to tell. He becomes entranced by it, so much so that he doesn't notice the creature leaping at him.
"Sir!"
He comes back to his sense, turns and is confronted by a creature being impaled by a spear thrown from an atlatl of a soldier.
The battle continues, and the hulking monster remains.

The creatures of bone have finally been slain. The town recovers after the battle.
"My King, shall we help the other nations?"
"No Wulfgar, we're in no fit state to fight, maybe in a day or two."
"Very well, what say you of this boomstick we've recieved?"
Wulfgar hands a Flintlock over to Morcar
"It's...interesting, very interesting. A tad small though, no?"
"My thoughts exactly, I propose we attempt to take this and make it bigger"
"Yes, I reckon Bronze would be a suitable material, with projectiles of Iron"
With that, construction begun on the Cannon, a fearsome new weapon that used gunpowder to propel large balls of Iron at the enemy. At the same time, the shipbuilders had been working on a new craft, quite a bit larger than the 10-person canoes before. These Galleys as they've been called are just large enough to hold a few cannons on each side.

The day after the battle, Morcar realises just how much damage has been done. He orders those fit to repair the village and tend to the wounded.
"Wulfgar, take the Knights and seek out Revon, you should know him by the distinctive Creed clothing, find out how the other villages have been faring and help out anyway you can."

Wulfgar comes across the site of a great battle, scales are scattered all over. Among these he notices tracks leading into the distance, to the Vagabond Capital of Prime. Some time later, he reaches the town and starts his search.
"Men, wait here, I won't be long."
He explores the strange town until he discovers a man sitting on a house. At first he disregards him until he notices the clothing, they resemble that of the Creed.
"Revon? Is that you? I'm Wulfgar, I was sent by King Morcar, he wishes to know the state of your people and the monsters"

An improvement in firearms and Cannons have been made, where previous models have been Muzzle-loaded the Osmar have created Breach-loaded weapons. Morcar has ordered the founding of a new town, further inland. The man responsible for its well being is Earl Cyne and they are escorted by Wulfgar and his soldiers.
A ship larger than the Galley, but smaller and faster than the Vagabond Frigate, is made. The "Caravel" as it's being called is well suited to exploration.
Earl Cyne sets out to meet with the other people, starting with the Dwarves in the trading post. Accompanied by Wulfgar, he approaches Gungir.
"Well met I am Earl Cyne of the Osmar Kingdom, I would like to trade some fish for meat. Also, I'd like to ask about news, what's been going in these parts?"

He turns to Ship Captain Sigeheard.
"Is the crew ready?"
"Yes milord, eager to sail"
"Excellent, remember, you have 40 days worth of food, if you haven't found land in 20, head back here. If you do, send word back."

Wulfgar travels with haste to Morcar.
"My King, we have news, the Krion is rising?"
"The Krion? Now?
Set sail men! Set Sail! I want ever Carvel and galley out to sea!
Sigeheard, you're in charge of the navy, get them in gear"

Sigeheard rallies the sailers and sets sail, before the battle, he speaks.
"Men, what you see before you is a fearsome beast. More fearsome than anything we've encountered. But we are sailing on the Crehl, and it is with us. When we take this thing down we'll be hailed as heroes! Ye'll want for nothing, ye'll get anything. Some of you may become one with the Crehl, but shall never be forgotten. So come now, let us set sail and fight, fight for glory, fight for your pace in history!"

Morcar stares down the creature as it rises, at the time remembering the battle that threatened his village those many years ago. He recalls the creature whose face he split in two...again he feels a sense of familiarity, both with that creature and the Krion. What it is he cannot say, but they seem connected some how...connected with himself. As if it's a part of him...then he remembers further, back to his fathers death. When Hroth died, a definite energy was released which slammed into the Crehl.
Someway, somehow, Morcar knows the Krion, and it knows him.

Morcar took a step forward, and as he did was struck by an energy from above, his eyes turned as black as the beasts. He sprints with spear in hand and executes a mighty leap, straight for the eye, piercing wholly. He then pulls himself up onto its head and strikes it from above.

Morcar is awake and well again, the first point of business is with Sigeheard.
"Admiral, I want you to sail back to the Island you discovered. Bring settlers with you, we should seek to establish a town."
"Very well, anything else?"
"Yes actually, since you discovered it I offer naming rights to you, and if you wish I shall make you Earl of the new town."
"My my, that's a mighty fine offer, but I think I'll pass on the second one. I belong on a Ship. As for the name...I think Crasmere"
"Very well, sail to Crasmere, and bring Ecgbert, he shall be Earl there"
Morcar turns away and walks back to his castle, along the way is stopped by Wulfgar
"My king, what do you intend to do if this endeavour succeeds?"
"I intend to hold a feast"

The morning after, Morcar calls for his daughter +åschild. He had not told her about the lessons and wished to surprise her.
"Yes father? You seem excited."
He walks over to her and motions towards Krion
"I'd like you to meet Krion here, he's from the Creed of Eagles. He'll be your combat instructor."
She takes a look at Krion and turns back to Morcar, visibly excited and barely able to contain herself.
"Really? I'm going to learn how to fight?"
"Hah, of course, you think I'd raise my only child and heir to my Kingdom without knowing how to defend herself?"
"Oh thank you, thank you so much. I can't wait to use a spear. Oh and an axe!"
"All in due time, to begin with you'll learn hand to hand combat. Oh, and you can't fight in that, so I had some armour made for you, leather reinforced with Bronze chainlinks."
+åschild leaves to change into the armour and makes her way to the sparring room where Krion is waiting.
"Alright, we'll start with a few basic punches..."

After death the soul is shown to the Winds who then show them their choices, then give them a decision, to become one with a spirit or to be reborn. Memories of a past life slowly come back to a person after rebirth. I do believe some of your people follow this faith already, am I correct?
OOC: They worship the Ocean and the Dark. (Named by them as Crehl and Tenebris) Unlike the Parbunnies, they view these as two separate gods. So it's a Ditheistic faith.

With the new attempt at settling an island, it is becoming apparent that the Caravel is not suited for transport. With this in mind, shipbuilders create a bigger ship, designed to haul cargo across great distances. The Flute is well suited for trade, and if needs be, to transport soldiers.

Three weeks after Sigeheard left with the crew he returns to Morcar.
"Sire, the town is nearing completion and it is clear that it is self sustainable. Now that we know the location it is only a 5 day journey. We have also discovered a black rock that seems to be excellent in fire."
"Excellent, thank you for the good news."

Miners at an Iron deposit discovered a curious stone, it keeps sticking to their pickaxes and other metals. Interestingly, when suspended in air is always points in the same direction. It's suspected that a device can be made to contain it for use in navigation.
(We gots compass)
Craftsmen have developed a time telling device. Powered by water, it divides the day into 20 "hours" with each one split into 70 "minutes" and further into 70 "seconds" Working models have been shipped to the other nations, as Morcar feels that this is a device essential to all.
(Clocks, results in a day about 3 of our hours longer than ours)
A method of extracting energy from the Crehl has been devised, a "Mill" consists of a large wooden wheel which is spun by the tide. This then rotates mechanisms housed inside a building. Currently they are being used to grind crops into a powdery form.
(Watermill)
This powder than has water added to it and the mixture is heated to form an edible material that has become known as "bread"
It makes a wonderful accompaniment to other foodstuffs.

With the other leaders having accepted the invitations for them and any aides they may wish to bring and the feast only a week away Morcar sets about preparing for the feast. He decides to spend lavishly on food and drink, figuring that his peoples staple of fish, fruit and bread won't be sufficient.
Venison is imported, rabbit hunted and the finest fish are caught. Dwarven whiskey is bought, that unholy concoction that the Parabunnies call a drink is acquired, along with all the herbs necessary to prevent death, and Cider brewed by Osmar locals.
But that's not all a feast is, entertainment is required! Morcar has heard tales of Fire and Sword eaters. He seeks them out and, after judging their skills, hires them to showcase. And of course there is the all important announcement...

"I graciously accept Ivan, thank you"
The feast progresses, food and drink are served. The fire and sword eaters put on a wonderful display, and they continue to do more with the fire. Jumping through flaming hoops and contorting themselves to crawl underneath barriers of fire that barely come up to the knee. They are then followed by a group of Osmar Chanters who play the recently invented drums. After the exhibition Morcar stands up.
"Esteemed guests, I thank you for coming and am glad you could make it. As I reach my elder years I can't help but appreciate how far we've come, and now I share with you one more discovery. I have called you here to tell you that there is land beyond. Habitable land across the Crehl. My vassal Ecgbert here" He motions towards him "has recently established a successful town on an Island 5 days away.
So let us eat, drink and be merry, and together we can discover a new world. Together, we shall conquer Paradise!"

sir RAVEN WING wrote:"This new world, of what kind is it?" Revon asks.
Ecgbert stands up to reply "So far we've discovered a kind of flammable rock. We believe this has many uses, one of which we're actually experiencing right now. We've thrown it into the fires and it generates a lovely heat. The island we settled is covered with dense vegetation, rather unlike what we're familiar with. It's much more difficult to get through and a tad warmer.
We've also found a long, yellow and crescent shaped berry, a few of which we've brought with us."
Ecgbert gives a hand signal and a few moments later a servant enters with a basket of them.
"Please, help yourself.
We're confident that there's more land out there, perhaps even another landmass to rival the one we live on."

"Put down your weapons, I'm sure we can make an agreement." The man looked around with a devilish smirk. "A surrender before the war kind of agreement."
"Kaal." Revon drops his blade. "Wint Verca Junt..."
"Speak where the uneducated can understand Parin."
"We were just in the middle of a feast before word of your forces came."

Oh and I would like to know the structuring of a name. Bloods name a child say Bio and the line name is Wuf, the child's name is BioWuf. Parabunnies have first names for the first 40 years of their life, but afterwards their name become such like Revon. (Kintol Revon = Revon)
OOC: The Osmar are given a first name, then their second name is a parents name with son or daughter added to the end, and the final part is the house/dynasty they belong to. The house names are derived from influential ancestors or locations.

Puzzled by this, Morcar commands a group of soldiers to his side.
"Open the gates, I'm going out"
Morcar marches out to meet with the leader.
"This is your last chance to leave peacefully. If you have anything to say, say it now"

+åschild replies to Revon
"I slipped away, I wasn't about to abandon the town I'm destined to inherit when it seems like it's about to be invaded!"
Morcar looks at the gift and then back at the Blood.
"I don't understand, you come here, interrupt my feast, make demands of land, march your army ominously towards my holding and now you offer peace?
What game are you playing?"

+åschild looks on in horror as she witnesses the murder of her father. Unable to speak with shock, she then begins to rush down to him when she is intercepted by Wulfgar.
"My lady, get back to the keep"
"B-but my father"
"This isn't negotiable, get back to the keep now!"
"Yes...yes okay"
Wulfgar orders a few soldiers to accompany her and then turns his gaze back onto the negotiations.
"Get back inside the walls! Bring the fallen and take that negotiator in for questioning."
They grab the blood by the arms and pick up the bodies of Morcar and Revon as they return inside the walls.
"Close the gate, no one goes in our out. Search the town, if the assassin is inside then find him, if he's out then he can't touch us"

OOC: Just one question, are they close to the town and throwing them at it or far away and throwing as a taunt?

OOC: Gotcha.
The search of the town is complete and a soldier reports back to Wulfgar.
"Captain, the search is complete and we've found very little to indicate any assassin gained access. We have also detained two peasants who dislike the King and while we doubt either had been capable of it it's possible they were accomplices."
Wulfgar thinks for a moment
"Very well, I'll make my way to the dungeon to question our three prisoners in a few moments"
A shout comes from atop the wall
"Explosions in the distance sire!"
"If they persist or get closer you have permission to fire!"

OOC: I've got something.
Wulfgar approaches the house where Morcar and Revon are being kept by a doctor.
"The king, is he..."
"Dead. Killed instantly"
"I see...and Revon?"
"Alive, barely. Unless his people have some sort of miracle cure he won't make it."
"Thank you.
Wulfgar leaves and calls for a messenger
"Find someone from the Creed, tell them the state of their leader."
Finally, he makes his way to the dungeon where the prisoners are, he walks up to the cell of the Blood.
"This man looks famished, get him some food and water"
The guard leaves and returns with a plate of fish and a cup of water. Wulfgar takes it and brings it to the prisoner.
"Eat up, and tell me, do you know anything about what happened?"

"Such as curious man" she thinks to herself.
Throughout the day funeral preparations are made. A traditional ceremony will occur at night, with the body of Morcar being sent out on a boat which is then set alight, after which a feast to celebrate his life is held.
As heir, +åschild leads the ceremony. She chooses Wulfgar and Krion to aid her in committing the body to the Crehl. After it is set alight they step back.
After a few moments, +åschild speaks up.
"It's strange, all my life I've felt a closer connection to the Tenebris than the Crehl."

"It was a gunshot, two would-be assassins broke in!
I managed to fend them off, and as they were fleeing I took a shot at one. I'm not sure if I hit but one of them appeared to be limping"
Wulfgar takes a look around the room
"You manage to fend off both of them by yourself? Colour me impressed...
Did you get a good look at them?"
"No...not really. But I did notice something on their clothes. A 5 side shape coloured in red."
"You're certain? That's...disturbing.
I'm increasing the guard, no one else will be getting in, I promise you that."
Wulfgar leaves, closing the door behind him.

IC: Krion was seen by several people, but managed to convince them that he was just wandering around.
Coronation day:
Krion is singing a song in a muffled voice. "Slavic conminta, sho lan tolate."
The guards are arranged in such away around the keep and along the walls that makes it impossible for anyone to approach unseen.
+åschild is presented to the people, dressed in a red, white and gold robe above her regular clothes. The High Seer recites an oath, which +åschild accepts, confirming her position as ruler of the Kingdom. Finally, the High Seer anoints her with oil, other members of the clergy remove the robe and then the High Seer places the crown upon her head.
"I hereby crown you Queen +åschild Morcarsdaughter of Horth of the Osmar Kingdom. Now, I invite the Peers to come and pay Homage to the Queen."
The first to do so is Ecgberht, who approaches the throne, kneels and say "I, Ecgberht, Earl of Crasmere, accept you as my liege and will serve you as long as we both live."
He is then followed by Earl Cyne, and then the minor Barons and lords, and finally the clergy.

Also, I realised I hadn't mentioned this before, though you probably figured it out but I'll say it anyway, Wulfgar is the Marshal, it's his title.
Cyne speaks up
"Marshall, I'll inform the other creed members what has transpired, they may be able to help"
"Good thinking Earl, go with haste"
Cyne bows and takes his leave to seek out Venour and Calmar.

2 years later. (Not going to mention the Krion + +åschild thing. You'll decide that :p)
"If only Revon was alive... he still haunts my dreams." Galtan spoke as she looked at Jackal, still an infant.
OOC: I'll go with they've still been meeting in secret, but nothings happened because of tradition with Osmar nobility. That is: He's lowborn whereas she's a queen and she'd be expected to marry someone from a noble family.
In the two intervening years +åschild's rule has been met with approval. After Wulfgar's passing due to old age a new Marshal had to be appointed. Deciding to select from within the Knights, +åschild chose Bannoth, a man of 40 who has proven himself in battle.
Continued expeditions beyond Crasmere have not yielded any more land, though Sigeheard is confident there is more out there.
A fourth town was built along the coast, a weeks journey away from the capital. Selected to be responsible for the well being of this new settlement was Gudram, the most suitable candidate from among the Lords.
+åschild, now 19, is approached her advisor, Eofor.
"My Queen, there have been mutterings amongst the nobility. Some of them seem concerned that you are not yet married. It is normal for a woman to be married by the time they are 20, though because you are the Queen many believe you should choose a suitor as soon as possible.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you what could happen if the throne was left without an heir"
"I know...I just don't believe I'm ready. All this has happened so fast...
Try to placate them while making it clear that I have yet to decide."

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

When I marry, my husband would become heir until I had a child.
In their eyes, you are both a foreigner and a lowborn, while Earl Gudram would be loyal, Ecgberht would be far more vocal and may wish to see Cyne's son on the throne.
If I resisted, a war would undoubtedly break out."

The tale says it can be injured and will heal once it's captor has received their chosen knowledge, so hunt as you would any other creature. If such tales don't concern you, then it is still a day of hunting."

But I will always be the SG scout of Payday 2. :p. Locomotive + Light Ballistic Vest = Squishy, but fun. 1 last thing... well 2. 1, I have never gotten the correct one. It's usually the last one. (A LBV surviving that long...) 2, if you want to go steal stuff, I'm up for it.
OOC: Without an actual degree related to the thing it's damned near impossible to pinpoint which one it is exactly. But there's usually some hints lying around. At the very least there should be a bit of paper lying around that has one of the gas names and a green tick. Go look at the whiteboard that has the gases and their canister colour and you've narrowed it down to a third of the things.
I got lucky and managed to figure out the number of nozzles it should have, so as my team mates were bagging them all up I panic-bagged one that fit the bill, turned out to be the right one.
As for stealing stuff: sounds fun, I'll be on tomorrow if that's good

+åschild arrives at the front gate in preparation for the hunt. Bannoth addresses the crowd.
"Lords, Ladies, esteemed guests, I welcome you to our Grand Hunt. First and foremost, this is a hunt like any other, therefore rules must be followed. First, the only weapon's permitted are single shot rifles, Bows or a blade of your choosing. Second, you will not intrude upon a fellow hunter who is stalking prey. Third, should you miss your prey or other wise fail to incapacitate it you will not pursue it further. You have lost that battle.
Finally, due to the special nature of the hunt, the third rule has an exception. If the fabled White Stag does exist and you encounter it you are permitted to pursue. If you fail and see another hunter approaching it is their game now, though the likelihood of the Stag remaining in the area is slim.
You have ten minutes for any last minute preparations and then we ride for the forest, all necessary horses are saddled and ready to go."

"Perhaps we shall continue later" continues Eofor as he leaves to mount a horse.
The hunting party makes it's way to the edge of the forest where they dismount. Bannoth speaks to the group one last time
"Horses will be no use beyond this point, I'll stay back and watch over them. Pouches for hauling are here if you need them, should you fill your current one feel free to return it here and retrieve another. If there are any questions speak now, otherwise get going."

Riots are now decreasing in area but increased activity in the Capitol and 2 other major cities. New wave of spies is sent out by Tal-man in all known nations. No hostile actions are to be taken yet but as preventive measures against any would be attacks.
OOC: Heads up, one of my characters is interacting with yours here:
Quote:As Earl Gudram's town of Howe is relatively close by, or at least closer than the others, Gudram travels to the Tal-man land to offer assistance to the Prime Minister.
"Your eminence, do you mind being called that or is there something else you prefer? Regardless, no doubt you understand that the ongoing instability of your realm greatly affects the area around too. I believe it would be within both our interests if I aided you in quelling these uprisings."
IC: After a short while, +åschild encounters a deer. She hides in the bushes and takes aim with her rifle. She wait for it to get a little bit closer as she draws her weapon off choice, a Bow, so as not to scare off animals in the vicinity. She pulls on the string, let's loose the arrow and it flies straight into it's neck. It falls to the ground, moving slightly but helpless. +åschild finished it off with a dagger and carves off some prime venison.

"Thank you"
Gudram pours himself some of the hot chocolate following the PM.
"I believe the ideal situation would be to lure them out of the cities and engage in open combat. Though that would be difficult.
Regardless, the only way to deal with these upstarts is with military force. Anything less would make them appear legitimate."

"These are of course my opinions, and I am aware that you have a very different kind of rule to the Osmar.
What is an innocent? Can the people who attempt to overthrow their betters be called such? I think not. But rest assured, if you decide in favour of military action than you shall have my support.

"Very well, and thank you for your hospitality. I would just ask that whatever you do, do it quickly."
//////
At the hunt...
Eofor comes across a stream, at the top of which is a large bear.
"Heh, that'll make a tasty meal "
He raises his rifle and prepares the shot. He aims for a bullet to the head but as he pulls the trigger his foot slips. He looks an notices the bear was hit in the left shoulder. More pressing however was the fact the bear was rushing towards him.
Normally continuing to fight is frowned upon, but then again, normally there isn't a bear that's angry at being shot.
Knowing reloading his rifle would take too long, he sets it down and takes out his axe, a tool any self respecting Osmar person carries. He swings, catching the beasts right shoulder. Enraged, the beast lashes back and bite his arm. While it has a hold of his arm, Eofor strikes several savage blows to it's neck. Eventually he feels the hold loosen, and the creature lays dead on the ground before him.
"Well that could've gone better, but at least I have something to show for it"
Elsewhere in the forest...
As +åschild carves up her second kill, a boar, she spots something in the distance. Something with a glistening white hide.
"Could...could it be? I need to get a closer look"
She closes in on it, almost getting a clear line of sight when a thunderous bang travels through the forest. She looks back at where it was and sees nothing.
"Shiten"

The hunt ends with a multitude of meats gathered. Pheasant, Bear, Boar and deer are among the most gathered meats. While no one caught the White Stag, several claimed to see it or what could've been it.
Even if not the stag of legend, it is clear that there is something hidden within.

OOC: Sure thing, I'll throw something together.
Earl Cyne passes away following an extended period of illness, what caused this illness cannot be said but some believe it to be murder by his eldest son, Wulgan, to gain the county, though it is impossible to prove. Following this, he makes a journey to meet with the Queen.
"Greetings your majesty"
"Greetings Wulgan, and my condolences for the fate of your father"
"Thank you, though it was inevitable unfortunately.
But, as I'm sure you've guessed, there is a reason behind me visit beyond saying hello. I would like to offer you the hand of my youngest brother, Allric, in marriage. Of course, this would be a matrilineal union as I'm sure you'd desire."
"That is a...very generous offer Wulgan, I shall take it under consideration."
"That is all I ask your majesty."
Wulgan bows and exits the castle, after which Eofor consults with +åschild.
"I would advise you to consider this very heavily indeed and meet with Allric, since he is the brother of an Earl, he is the highest ranking potential suitor presented so far."
"Thank you chancellor, I'll be sure to speak with him in the future."

"Krion, just what was the nature of your visit to Crasmere?" Krion shakes his head. "Just to visit..." He remembers +åschild saying that Ectberht would likely try to remove him or her in place of Cyne's son. "I know this does not look good, but I had nothing to do with it!" OOC: How would Osmar law handle Krion as of right now?
"I...I believe you, but this is a very precarious situation."
OOC: That depends on a number of things, Krion could be turned over and imprisoned by his accusers (we'll say Ecgberht's brother) who could then put him through a Trial by Fire. He would be tasked with holding a red hot iron bar and walk three paces. His hand would then be bandged. If it was visibly healed by three days then he was innocent, if it was clearly not then he would be guilty, at which point his captor would do as they see fit.
He is also entitled to request a trial by combat, in which he would duel his accuser. Usually these are to the death unless one can incapacitate the other without killing.
If either of the above are not done than his accuser will likely attempt to kidnap and imprison him.

Also, I should let you know that I'll be meeting with Lord Allric in 2 days time. I can't postpone it any longer." "Very well, -¥-¡+Çtiim." He speaks before speaking to Animaya in Paric.
"I'm going to return to the castle, and if you wish to tell me what actually happened that night you can find me there."

"I have told what has happened. Keepiku." Krion continues to speak to Animaya in Paric, but this time it was a bit more like an argument rather than a conversation.
"Very well. One last thing, Marshall Bannoth has been asking for you"
With that, +åschild leaves the two to bicker in peace.

I assume you've heard the rumours surrounding the former Earl Cyne and his son Wulgan? I want you to go to Kilerth and see if you can find anything out about it. Some suspect poison, I'd advise you to begin with that and see if any smugglers had dealings with him.
One last thing, handle this with more discretion than you do with your visits to the Queen eh?" Bannoth chuckles at the end of the sentence and walks away

3 days later
Krion was looking in some ingredient boxes when he found a small glass vial with a blue liquid in it. "Strange, this shouldn't be here." upon further inspection Krion happened upon a small piece of paper. "Fancy stuff, now what do you have to say" Krion was startled at what he read. "Blezberrie poison, enough to kill three people." Krion thought for just a second. "His father, Æschild, and his brother? It would make the most sense as he could kill them both when she... Kazimy." He quickly darted outside hoping for a stryder to be up for sell, but instead was met with a man trying to catch his breath. "Been running?"
"Yes... sir. I'm a courier." The man said.
"Here, take this to Queen Æschild. It is in the utmost importance that she receives it as soon as possible." Krion handed him note as the courier sighed.
"My pay, sir?"
"I'm sure the Queen will arrange something if you ask."
Again, the courier sighed. "Off I go." he got ready to run.
"Here, go buy yourself a stryder." Krion handed him a small leather bag of currency.
"Thank you, sir."
///
2 hours later
Just a bit more... Krion thought as he saw lights in the distance, and guessed it was his destination. "You have sure pushed your limits, Seati." he began to talk to his styrder.
OOC: Only Crasmere is an Island, Howe is a coastal town while Kilerth is inland.
It also just dawned on me that the Capital isn't named, I'll come up with something.

"A murder? It has been suspected but never proven...
These are some lofty accusations Krion, why were you in Kilerth? And in any case, even if it were true and he did all of that then he would not gain the kingdom. There are three brothers, if I married the youngest, which is of course an essential part to the plan, and he killed the both of us it would fall to the middle child, not Wulgan."

OOC: Sorry, let me explain what's going on.
Okay, so Cyne had three sons, Wulgan is the eldest, followed by Hiroc, and then Alric.
Cyne fell ill and later died, there was rumour for a long time that he was murdered and it was suspected that it was a plot by Wulgan to gain the county, and it isn't unreasonable for Krion to have thought that when he found the poison. In fact, I think it's a good way to go.
However, Bannoth reads the letter detailing what has happened he he starts to piece it together. With Cyne's death Wulgan inherits. If Alric marries the Queen, that would then put him first in the line of succession with Hiroc being second and Wulgan third. The Queen and new King Consort eat some bad fish and Hiroc becomes the king.
Short version: It was thought to be Wulgans plot to gain a county but it went deeper than that.

OOC: Sure, I was just going by the way you were posting that Krion didn't know because court politics are needlessly complicated and he's not as well versed in it, but either works. :P One more IC for tonight.
IC: The man on the ground has a look of terror in his eyes. "I'm just a man hired to keep an eye out sire. I need the Cuts, (Cuts are the currency of the Osmar) and he paid well. Just wanted some people dead and didn't want anyone to find out, that's all I know, I swear!"

He picked the Osmar up and shoved him towards the door, raising his voice during the last part of his sentence. After the Osmar left he turned to +åschild. "Well I was partially right." His eyes went wide when he noticed a curved blade pressed on her throat from behind.
"Krion, I'd ask you'd not give me a reason to have to kill you." The holder of the blade said.
"How do you know my name?"
"Needless. Now I shall take the Queen into that night." She had to keep herself from laughing at the clue she gave Krion.
"Vadai Consul it." He spoke Paric.
"Cuntai giintule. Keepiku." The blade's holder replied.
"Ivory mask, ceremonial blade of the Angelis Order. What have you been up to?" Krion turned to ease, but quickly was reminded of the danger by +åschild's glare. "Ah, my apologies. I really must be tired to be this forgetful."
"Ni, back away, or the Queen will dance with the Winds." She threatened.
"I must apologize for what I am about to do." He pulled a small metal box and drew a small device out. It had a fuse at the end and was spherical. He put the fuse up to a torch and rolled it between himself and the other two. "We will see who is restless."
OOC: Does that mean you're off for the night, or that you have one more post tonight? Oh and that device just emits a type of poisonous gas, but only it does not kill. Instead it just forces you asleep, very hard to get a hold on and Krion was gifted his by the Creed.
The noxious gas filled +åschild's lungs, her vision becomes hazy and soon after she passes out. She then finds herself standing on a cliff side overlooking the Crehl.
"W-where am I?"
A disembodied voice replies from what sounds like a great distance.
"Merely a dream"
"Who's there?"
"No one you know, nor do you need to. Just remember these words, your world is a large one, explore it, settle it, so that your people may go beyond"
In Kilerth...
Bannoth arrives in the town and walks up to the castle.
"I am Marshall Bannoth, I need to speak with Earl Wulgan immediately."
"The earl is away on a hunt at the moment sire, but he should be back soon. If you wait he'll be back in no more than an hour"
"Very well, I shall inspect the men in the meantime, let me know the instant he returns."
"Yes m'lord"

Pubs knocks them all though. Thankfully I finished my pub research before it became look at different deathscreens upon spawn.
Pubs - 4 per average.
Minmatar FW - 3 per average.

Caldari - 0 per average.
Anyway, I'll be leaving in about an hour. Feel free to post as I will be back rather soon.

"Should we tell her when she wakes?" Krion asked before taking another drink of Dremtai Blood.
"Let's see if she asks." Animaya was still laughing.
"Alright, so what were you doing here?"
"The Rat wanted her for some reason."
"Ah, the Angelis finally stepping into politics? Rather bravely should I say." Krion rocked back and forth sitting on the floor.
"Surprised you knew who we are."
"I ran with you guys once, wanted out and cut a deal with Angelise." Krion's smile almost mimic'd his mask. "Shush now, she's waking up!" He gets up and walks towards +åschild. "Morning, ye majesty." Krion's voice was jokingly smooth.
The Queen groggily looks up at Krion
"Krion? Would you please give me a reason to not have you thrown in a cell for a few nights?"

"Dead?"
"No sir, I just hit the shoulder"
Gudram walked over to the body with his axe in hand.
"No one of any importance, he won't be missed"
He knelt down and slammed his axe into his chest
"And what shall be done with the body Sire?"

"I'd never have thought he was that intelligent, I must say, it's a very intricate plan.
I'll send some men to apprehend him immediately, you're welcome to accompany them."
"Heh, with pleasure."
Bannoth leads a few men to the Solar where Hiroc is at a writing desk.
"Lord Hiroc, you are hereby arrested for your crimes against the County of Kilerth and for conspiracy against the Kingdom, if you do not comply force will be used and your survival will not be guaranteed."
Seeing he has no options, Hiroc surrenders and is thrown into Wulgan's dungeon.

Krion laughed displaying a set of cell keys one had attached to his clothing. "How did you... Give them here." "You really don't know how things work, do you? This is a stalemate. I will however end this stalemate once I know I will be freed from this cell." He still teased the guards with his recently 'found' keys. OOC: As you can probably tell, Krion was a thief at once in his life. He has been a part of the Angelis Order (Lead by The Rat and Angelise.) A thief, and several other things leading up to his life as the assassin of the Creed. Oh, and 'The Rat' is actually a reference to what I call Rattati, although there is no real connection other than that.
"Let me tell you how it works around here, you give the keys back and stay there until someone gets orders to release you, or I shoot you in the arm. You're lucky you're just imprisoned."
Bannoth returns from his journey in Kilerth and enters the dungeon (I had forgotten to do it but the arrest should've happened earlier, so there's been enough time for him to get back)
"You there! Release this man, I have business with him"
"But he-"
"I don't want to hear it, get him out."
"Yes Marshall."
The second guard grabs his keys (the ones that weren't stolen) and unlocks the cell
"What of his accomplice?"
"Who? Oh her? She's not an accomplice and she almost committed treason, she stays"

Bannoth reads the letter from Krion.
"Sordid bastard..."
He then orders Animaya to be taken to the interrogation room, 5th time since she was captured.
"I've been generous to you, but that generosity is about to run out. Let me explain your situation, you almost committed High Treason, that lets me keep you in here as long as I feel like. Change a few words and I can say you've committed High Treason, that let's me have you publicly executed in the most brutal fashion.

The courier eaves the package and leaves, after which +åschild inspects it and reads the attached note.

(The island they are centered in.) They are on rather good terms with the Parabunny nation due to it's origins. (Which will be explained later.) Completely Angelis Colonies: Angit, Quitar, Mournfall, and Krigsline. All Angelis Colonies: Angit, Quitar, Angloom, Nocturnal, Mournfall, Kraigsline, Merian, Breyl, and Chita.

Bannoth and his ship arrive at Kraigsline. Before he steps ashore he addresses the soldiers.
"There's been a change in plan, as you know we came here to raid, but circumstances have made me reconsider. The previous decision was rash. Instead I will go with a group of 5 to speak with them, see if they're willing to help. I have a horn and if things go bad I will use it, when you hear it you soldiers will step off the ship and attack the surrounding guard while the crew will position the ship for a broadside upon the fortress. Judging by how old this fortress is that should cause a few breaches where you will be able to enter."
Bannoth walks up to the imposing gate and speaks to the guards.
"Greetings, I am Marshall Bannoth of the Osmar, I request an audience with your leader."
OOC: Still not sure what to do with the country name. Osmar works fine for a people name, like French, Engish and so on, but it doesn't work in situations you'd say France, England, Germany and things like that.

"It's not quite as bad as you may have heard. It actually has a limit of 40 years. You see, it was designed to be given to an Osmar who is approximately 50 years old.

OOC: He was implying their relationship as of why he does not like this punishment at all.
Also I will say that his punishment will affect Krion's character later on. :p
OOC: I was expecting that part :P
"I know, and in a perfect world you'd live happily ever after. But the world isn't perfect, so we have to make do.
Regardless of whether you left or somehow managed to stay, the Queen will be getting married. Chances are, it won't be to you. But I think you're misunderstanding that part.
Presently, the most likely candidate is Lord Alric, Earl Wulgan's brother. The thing is, he's ashamed of him and really just wants him out.
I can see you're wondering why. Let's just say she's the wrong kind of person to fulfil his desires. Now that's fine if you're an average person like you or me, but nobles expect noble families to grow larger. But their main reason for marriage is political. If they wed, Wulgan will be the only Earl that can claim to be kin with royalty. He's offered it to be a matrillinial marriage, so any offspring would be of House Hroth.
As an added bonus, Earl Wulgan is indebted to you for your assistance with the murder of his father. The guy likes you and would be willing to harbour you.
So what I suggest is this, I banish you, you flee to Kilerth and reside at Wulgan's court. The Queen marries Lord Alric, all this business with the nobles demanding she be wed ends and she becomes free to take some "Official" trips to Kilerth from time to time.
To see you.
I'm not sure we can find a better way out that that."

"I will need my property first."
OOC: If he lets him free I'm going to wait a few posts before skipping ahead several years. Angelis will have a new male leader, Krion will have lost contact with +åschild and fallen deeper in madness. Jackal will finally play a role in this story.
"I can't do that. You know that.
I can't simply unlock this door and let you walk free.
However, what I will do is take these chains off and have you transported to a regular cell"
As Bannoth takes out his keys he drops one of them on the ground, leaving it there, after which he unlocks Krion's restraints.
"You have five minutes until you're taken away. Go with the guards quietly, have a think. I'll see you in the morning if you wish to accept my offer."
Bannoth leaves the room, and after a few minutes he instructs a pair of guards to take him away, specifying the cell.

Time has favoured me in the Angelis order. I am now Haed and plan to repay my debt, but have no way of doing so, which is why you are reading this. Do you know any ways I can repay my debt to you, and perhaps even your Queen?
Keepiku, Animaya."
"Hmph, hadn't thought we'd hear from her again. I'm not sure how she could repay." "Still hold a grudge against her?" He asked. "It wouldn't be very healthy to hold a grudge against what is in it's own right a powerful nation. Although it would be healthy to be wary of her. Even if her intentions seem pure there is no real way to know." He informed her.
"It's hard not to after the kidnapping incident. How would you suggest we deal with her?"

OOC: Special Rules? We will see!
"I'll go over them once more.
It's based on points.
You will each complete 5 up to passes towards each other. The aim is to hit each other. A strike on the shield, helmet or arms awards no points, anywhere else is a single point. Should your lance shatter, even on a shield strike, you are awarded 3 points. If you strike with enough force to knock your opponent off your horse then they have 10 seconds to get back on unaided, if they do, you are awarded 5 points, if not then you win the round.
There are 32 contestants, one you win a round you progress to the next. The first three rounds each occur on a different day. The final two occur on the same day just afterwards.
Any other questions?"

"Here we go." Krion sighed to himself before the first pass commenced. He passed and both were on the ground. "Damn it." Krion quietly spoke whilst getting back up. He noticed his opponent was still on the ground after the ten seconds had passed and wondered how hard he got hit, but then dismissed the questioning thought when the opponent's arm flopped up lazily. "Perhaps he wanted to lose?" He again spoke only to himself.
"The winner of this round is Sir Vin! He shall progress to the round of 16."
The day continues with some very impressive rounds. Several lances have been shattered and a few more dehorsings occurred, though the most impressive sight is when both of these occur together in the closing round of the day.
On the third pass the one riding from the left scores a perfect strike on the centre of his opponents breastplate, launching him off his horse and shattering the lance in the most satisfying way.
"The winner is Sir Garmund!"
"Garmund...I'll have to remember that name" +åschild thinks to herself as she sits in the royal section of the stands.

All common men and women are named for such in Skadia."
However he could not mask his discomfort.
"The Jousting is...... rather abrupt my Lord...I-I am not sure I understand it but the sport must assuredly be a noble one if some many reputable men would take part in it. As Skadia's envoy I relish the chance to appreciate more of your ways...."

I myself am not named after anything so fanciful, my father simply picking the first animal he saw on his trophy wall. Though I must apologise, it is usual here for people to use a title before their name
I do admit, the jousting does require a certain calibre of man to compete. Most of those who do have trained from a very young age to be the perfect fighters. Terribly imposing men.

He muttered the last part bitterly, rubbing at a sore spot on his back.
Eofor noticed a tone of confusion in Thane's question.
"Yes, there's three stages beginning as young as ten years. They experience both the best and worst this world has to offer, having to brave the most extreme conditions and train in all forms of combat.
In a way, you could say that they are trained to want it, rather than being trained because they want it."
Eofor thought a moment about the latter part of the conversation.
"Well, if that is the case then I could requisition one of our own ships to carry him, along with goods to establish a trade route. I'll just have to run it by the Queen, though it's more of a formality."

Day three of the tournament...
Eight Knights are left in the competition. The days jousting is started by Sir Garmund in a bout against Sir Widuc. They both take their positions at opposite ends. The master of the tournament ensures both are fit and ready before committing them. He orders the charge and the horses gallop with great speed. They meet in the centre and hit each other, both remaining seated. Though they were minor hits, the tension is palatable.
Given fresh lances, the two knights come back around for a second charge. Both seemed more determined this time. They approach, couch their lances and aim, hitting each other in the shoulder and snapping their lances as they do so to a thunderous applause. Sir Garmund throws down the remains of his lance and raises his arms to rally the crowd. A deafening cheer erupts as he readies for the third charge.
Once again, they receive fresh lances and one again the speed towards each other. Garmund couches his lance perfectly and smacks Widuc at full force in the centre of his body, launching him from his horse. His body smacks into the hard ground. Widuc astonishingly rises to his feet, though stumbles after a few steps. He rises again and reaches his horse, but is unable to mount it before he is eliminated.
A few moments is left to allow for the preparation of the next round, Sir Vin against Sir Ulfrid.

He hears the order and feels the adrenaline pulsing in his veins. The next thing he knew is he was on the ground, quickly he rushed up not even staggered, and got ready for a second go hoping he didn't take too long. Krion's fears were destroyed when the second run commenced. This time there was completely different in terms of results as he shattered his lance on his opponent's body, but only knocked off for a few seconds as he remounted and the third run commenced.
That's when it happened... some force favoured Krion and sent Ulfrid flying off his styrder before the lance even touched him. Ulfrid was lying on the ground, unconscious as Krion was visibly shaken.
The crowd stood silent as Ulfrid hit the ground. No one was quite sure what they witnessed as Ulfrid lay motionless. After what seemed like forever Krion, under the name of Vin, was declared the winner as Ulfrid was carried off.
With half the days jousts over, time was given to anyone who wished to participate in practice jousts. Many knights took this opportunity to hone their skills and entertain their onlookers.
Finishing the day was the final bouts of the day. Many spectacular moments of lance breaking filled the day until only 4 competitors were left.

Outraged by the humiliation, Garmund left the city as soon as he was free of the power that held him.
A few hours later it was discovered that he had declared a Pas d'armes, a passage of arms, on the bridge to Bexley challenging anyone who wished to cross to combat until Krion faced him.

Eofor encounters Thane whilst he is adding additional manuscripts to the library, mostly compositions of manuscripts written by Squires about the valiant adventures of their Knights, which are then edited and compiled by Scholars.
"Ahh, Envoy Thane, I see you've decided to stay a while longer. I've been making arrangements to deliver an Ambassador to Skadia. The Captain I've assigned wishes to take a fast warship, but I believe it'd be wiser to send a cargo ship. Much less threatening, and we can send some trade goods with them.
If you have any questions about the kingdom please, don't hesitate to ask. Have you learned much thus far?"

If you have any questions about the kingdom please, don't hesitate to ask. Have you learned much thus far?" Thane looks up from the manuscript on Osmar history he has been reading (earlier sections of this thread) and noticed the Chancellor Eofor placing a number of manuscripts into the shelves of the library.
" Chancellor?....oh pardon me. Good day to you." He replied, hearing out the Chancellor. " I have spent a great deal of time learning of your people your lordship..... their histories, their trade, their social structures. You are all very interesting. Fear not Osmarian Chancellor the people of Skadia fear nothing from the oceans.... whatever vessel you choose to send will be received warmly."
"Thank you for your kind words, I shall leave you to your studies." he said with a nod as he left, walking down hall of the library hearing nothing but the occasional scribble of a quill from those that wish to practice or learn writing.
Eofor seeks out a suitable diplomat to serve as an ambassador to the Skadian Isles when he comes across Eadmun.
Eadmund... he thought to himself He's the one that settled that border dispute between the Earls of Howe and Kilerth. That could've escalated in an outright war between the counties.
"Eadmund, a word with you if you will."
"Certainly Chancellor, what about?"
"I have come to you with a very important job, you've heard of the Skadians that have revealed themselves, correct?"
"Of course, very impressive. They have ships to rival our own, what about them?"
"I would like you to be an Ambassador to them."
An Ambassador? thought Eadmund. It was a rather prestigious position, and of course held huge responsibility. His standing in the realm would certainly be improved
Eofor spoke further, interrupting his thoughts "You would be responsible for representing Osmarium, and informing us of whatever you learn about them."
"M'lord Chancellor, I graciously accept your kind offer."
"Excellent, I have one or two more things to settle with the Captain that is taking you. I'd expect you to leave in three days time."
Eofor brought the update to the Queen, who was happy to have a diplomat as skilled as Eadmund to be an ambassador. With that settled, he set about convincing the Captain that a trade vessel is the wisest option.

Just to have Garmund removed from his post, Bannoth agrees to aid Krion. To that end, he sends a courier with a message for the Knight.
"Halt. Those who wish to cross this bridge must fight for the privilege." the courier hears bellowed from the deep voice of a figure standing on a bride ahead of him.
"I do not wish to cross sire, I merely bring a message."
"Speak then, before I lose my patience"
"The Marshall, on behalf of Lord Vin, wishes to extend an invitation to a tournament. The prize, I'm told, is a map to a location full of ancient riches.
It is an unorthodox one, as Lord Vin himself says a test of mind rather than mettle."
The Knight stood motionless and silent for what seemed like forever. Standing 6ft tall, his longsword was a bit over half that.
Finally, he lifts his sword and sheaths it on his back.
"Very well, I'll meet with this craven Lord and see what he has in store."
////
Meanwhile...
Diplomat, soon Ambassador, Eadmund boards the ship that will take him to Skadia
"Good day Captain, how long until we sail?"
"An hour m'lord we're just loading the last of the trade goods. Cloth, rope, Bronze, Steel and some of those curved yellow fruit from Crasmere, among others. Based on the maps we should reach the islands in about 12 days. Would be closer to 8 if we took a Caravel like I insisted, but the Chancellor insisted that it be a trade vessel. You're all set yourself?"
"Aye, the Queen commissioned this exquisite Bronze Axe to be given to the leader."
Eadmund presents the axe to the Captain, who marvels at the piece.
"My my, that is a nicely crafted weapon."
The hour passes as the last of the cargo is loaded, after which the ship carrying the first Osmar to step foot in Skadia sets sail.

Eadmund's ship approached Skadia in the heart of the archipelago. Stripped of all but the most necessary armaments, the 24 metre long, three masted trade ship had a large cargo bay to transport all of finest goods from Osmarium. It slowly approached the island until the docks were clear in view.
The ship then manoeuvred to drop anchor and Eadmund disembarked to speak with the Dockmaster.

Queen +åschild receives the message sent by the Tal-Men leader. 'The Bood Raiders...' she thinks to herself. 'They're the ones that murdered my father.'
The courier that brought the message was about to leave when the Queen spoke up. "Wait a moment, please, go to Eofor and Bannoth and tell them that I wish to meet with them in the Great Hall on an urgent matter."
"Yes your majesty."
A few minutes later, Eofor and Bannoth arrived to speak with the Queen.
"Greetings Marshall, Chancellor. I have received a call to arms from the Tal-Men against the Blood Raiders. I called you hear so we could discuss it, should we honour it?"
Bannoth was the first to speak up:
"These barbarians are nothing but murderers. If the Tal-Men fell they would not hesitate to attack us at their earliest opportunity."
"I would have to agree" says Eofor in a solemn tone. "Any previous attempts at diplomacy failed"
They continue to discuss the situation at length, agreeing that should the war go well the primary goal should be capturing Calimight. The navy would be the primary asset, with Caravels and Galleasses being able to bombard any coastal targets, with Carracks available should the need arise.
On land, any willing knights would be the most fearsome force they could field, along with the standing army.
"So it's settled, we go to war. Eofor, let it be known that the kingdom is at war and that the vassals of the realm are obligated to send their soldiers. Bannoth, I trust you can rally the army and reinforce the Tal-Men forces as soon as possible."
"Of course your majesty"

"Yes, I would like to bring something to the table" exclaims the Queen. "It is the matter of these Blood Raider aggressors, they have been attacking the Tal-Men unjustly, surely you cannot stand idly by?"

"No, it was not my command, but it was his right, I could not prevent him without breaking our laws. I did however command an intervention against the invaders. Perhaps my judgement is clouded by a personal vendetta, one which I'm sure the Tyran knows of very well." The Queen paused for a moment whilst staring down the Tyran before speaking again.

((The big thing to remember is that ship sizes changed drastically over time. I'm pulling my information from the basis that we're about equal to the 1600's.
To really boil it down, you can say there's 4 main classification of ships, Big Ships, Small Ships, Galley's and Trade Ships.
The Big would include things like the Carrack, Nau, Galleon, Ship of the line and so on right up to modern day battleships.
Small would be your Barque, Caravel, Frigate and so on.
Then there's the Galley size, which consists of the namesake, Galley, as well as Galleas, Galliot.
Now, I've named all of those in chronological order, but that's not to say that once the galleon was deveoped the Carrack was useless. It was still bigger than the second class of ship, and even then it later entered service as a makeshift merchant vessel.
TL;DR Ships man, they complicated as ****.))

Noticing the indecision of of the other leaders, the Queen has a a ceasefire written up quickly by a Squire. It stipulates that neither nation may approach within a kilometre of the border for a period of two months, after which the Skadian festival would be finished and the leaders will have time to return to their countries.
It is presented and the signatures of the Tyran and Prime minister.

"I believe this meeting has fulfilled its role and with that I shall take my leave. I look forward to your festival prince" said the Queen as she curtseyed, then leaving with her company of soldiers. Upon arrival back at the castle, Eofor suggested that an extra advisor be appointed, as he felt he did not possess the administrative skill that was asked of him when +åschild left for the meeting of leaders.
Following this advice the Queen appointed Athelric, a minor noble who had dealt greatly in trade goods, and gave him a new title as Steward of the city. He would be responsible for representing the Queen to the people, as well as management of construction, taxes, trade and other income of the realm.
The positions of Marshall, Steward, Chancellor and High Seer have become collectively known as a form of 'Council' of advisors to the monarchy.

The recent arrival of the Skadian and Solsunti people spurred a huge reaction in Osmarium. Ambitious merchants began attempts to fund expeditions with hopes of finding new and strange lands. Most believed it was the next logical step, they had few chances of gaining land on the continent, so they look elsewhere with expectations of being granted the land they discover. Some of which even petitioned the Queen in an attempt to her as a sponsor.
One of these aspiring men was Godwin, a wealthy trader who fervently believed the most prosperous land lay west. He was kneeling down before the Queen and advisors.
+åschild looked at his proposed route on the maps he provided.
"What makes you so certain you can find land along this route?"
"Ocean currents your majesty, as the western stream leaves something causes it to return. I firmly believe that cause to be land."
The Chancellor spoke up next
"How long would you expect this journey to last?"
"It's very difficult to say, possibly in excess of a month each way."
This statement stunned all that listened. The man that stood before them was willing to go out into open ocean to a place no one has been to discover something that may never have been there.
Next to question him was the Marshall
"How any ships would you require for this voyage?"
"Four Carracks sire. They're the only ones I see durable enough and large enough to sustain a voyage of this magnitude."
'Four Carracks' thought +åschild, four of the largest ships the Osmar have created. This man had guts. Further questions and discussions took place abut supplies and crew, after which the Queen and her advisors convened. After some time they reached a conclusion and +åschild gave their answer.
"Very well Godwin. You shall have what you need for your expedition. Any land you discover will be the property of the crown if not otherwise occupied, and I shall decide what will be done with it.
Go now, I shall have the arrangements made and will inform you further"
Godwin grinned and as he left thanked the Queen "I am eternally grateful your majesty, you'll not regret this"

The massive Great-Ocean Hawk landed on one of the wooden balustrades tearing into the wood with several inch long talons causing more than a few mild cries for the city guards.
Amongst the Isle the Great-Ocean Hawks were the largest of the birds, bearing a wingspan of some 3 metres and were fiercely territorial of the ordinarily unscalable shards of basalt rock that jutted up in the southern oceans of the archipelago.
Those present were taken aback, and despite having seen such creatures before in Errecist, even Thane tumbled back out of his seat in shock, kicking over the table at which he sat and scattering the many book and scraps of parchment he had been reading.
A moment later he got up, approached the bird keeping his eyes down, and drew from the small cannister around its leg a small note. He read the noticed carefully surprised at the contents, very much so aware of the eyes of a rapidly assembling crowd of civilians and city officer on him.
"Ummmm. You wouldn't mind watching him would you?" He said sheepishly to a very perplexed city guardsman after reading the message and packing away the books and parchment he had kicked over. "He won't hurt anyone....shouldn't at least. But it would be best to keep any dogs or cats inside for the time being."
"You stay here too Sieg. Don't eat anyone's animals okay."
With that he rapidly departed for the castle, located Eofor's clerk, and organised an appointment for when the Chancellor was free.
The Clerk had been writing a treaty on behalf of Eofor, who was settling a dispute between local lords. As he was writing he glanced up at Thane and replied "The Chancellor is currently speaking with three lords, I'm currently writing this for him and should be finished in about a half hour. I'll see then if he's available"

(( Sorry the last one was so brief and this took so long. ))
After some time the Clerk put down his quill, stood up and rolled up the parchment. "I shan't be long sir" he said before leaving.
Eofor and the lords of Braedon and Saxfeld are discussing their situation in the lesser hall.
"It was a blatant attack! Men bearing the Saxfeld coat of arms raided my storehouses."
"Nonsense, this is clearly some fabricated nonsense, no doubt to justify a retaliation."
"Please, calm down and let us wait. Some water perhaps to cool your tempers?"
"Yes, very well" replied the pair in unison.
As Eofor handed the drinks, the clerk entered
"Sire, as you requested"
"Thank you, gentlemen, a treaty. I'm sure you can see it to be mutually beneficial."
"I find these terms...agreeable."
"As do I"
As they were signing the clerk whispered to Eofor about Thane
"I must leave you gentlemen, I leave you in the hands of my clerk."
As Eofor made his way to Thane, he noticed the bareness of the wall and made a note to commission a tapestry. Reaching Thane, he greets him
"Good day Thane, what was it you wished to discuss?"

(( Osmar I'd say would be Late explortion era while begining to enter Enlightenment. So people are starting to think more freely, maybe even become upset at the idea of hereditary overlords. ))
Advancement: With the renewed interest in discovering the world, it became evident that Carracks left something to be desired. They were too small for the distances demanded of them, unable to carry sufficient supplies. Osmar ship builders began building soemthing new, bigger. The Galleon as it had become known, was the first ship built with the express purpose of ferrying men for leagues across the ocean. It was expected that future endeavours would utilise these greatly.
Godwin's expedition, day 35
"Land ho Captain!"
Those words resonated all across the ship. The crew were delighted that their painstakingly long voyage had yielded results. Godwin had picked up a spyglass to see for himself
"Hah, so it is. Ease in the ship and drop a boat lads, I'm going ashore."
The crew turned the ship into the wind and came to a stop before dropping a boat. Godwin left with a few crew members, each bringing an axe with them.
"Alright men, let's start exploring."

(( Nation details following. Some may have changed from previous times.
Noun: Osmarium.
Adjective: Osmar
Tech: 5-ish. Standard muskets are flintlocks, Rifles are imported from the Tal-men.
Type of people: Militaristic, both land and sea.
Current Government: Feudal Monarchy.
Forces: Osmar military philosophy tends to follow a "bigger/heavier is better" view, and no where is this more evident than their Shipbuilding.
Forces: Osmar soldiers are divided into three main categories. The crowns personal retinue are professional soldiers in full time service. Unlanded knights most often serve in this category. Levies are composed of semi professional soldiers tied to a holding. They often work the land but are well trained, though not as well as the retinue. Town garrisons, or Guardsmen, are the third category. These soldiers are tasked with keeping order and defending in the event of a siege.
Vassals to the crown are obligated to provide a minimum of two thirds of their levy during wartime.
Other: Pale skinned humans, females tend to be shorter than males, who stand at a maximum of 6ft. Osmar are shorter lived than those around them.

With the meeting complete the Clerk gestures for the Skadii envoy to enter. Thane does so bowing to the chancellor, and presents himself before the older man.
" Greetings Chancellor Eofor" he announced "I, of the Two Rivers, have received word from the Prince and the Summit. It seems that the negotiations have dissolved to be reconvened in Errecist after the Festival of Kalya."
He cleared his throat.
"This however is not why I have come before you Lord Chancellor. Under the authority of my Prince I have been named vassal and official foreign envoy to your lands, with all the rights and responsibilities that the role entails....as such. I would like to enquire into my own personal rights as a foreign dignitary in your nation.....and the potential of buying property in your cities....."
"That is good to hear. It will be essential to have someone who can represent Skadian interests here. As to your rights, you would be permitted to attend court and give your opinions on any political issues. No doubt you'd be consulted heavily on matters that would affect your people.
As for property, I believe there is a modest house available near the market, alternatively you could purchase land and construct a manor upon it. Of course there would be extra costs of lumber, stone and men to build it.
While more expensive and time consuming, the Manor would much more fitting to a man of your status."

(( Bugger ))
As Godwin and his companions begin to explore this strange new land they hear a loud rumble from behind them. They're greeted with the sight of a huge creature attacking the ship they arrived on. The crew on board attempt to fight back with cannon fire and though they do manage to hit and injure the creature the surprise of the attack was too much to overcome. Some more of the crew managed to abandon the ship in time to escape the beasts clutches.
The survivors numbered 28 in total, who all stared in disbelief at the wreckage, absorbing what had just happened. Godwin however managed to keep his composure.
"Don't just stand there, pick your jaws up off the ground and fish out as much cargo as you can!"
With that, they all moved into action and scoured the shoreline for whatever they could. Godwin came across two flintlock muskets and brought them further inwards to inspect them.
'Little bit wet on the outside...inside seems clean on the pair of them. They'll come in handy.'
After some time the men finish up and bring the last of the crates to the pile that had been created. Godwin requested each of the to tell them what they found.
"Two crates of gunpowder and a crate of bullets sire. Powder managed to stay dry."
"A few crates of grain, some of it is a little damp but edible."
"Ten axes and a pile of cloth."
"A crate of lemons"
"Lastly, a fairly large pile of driftwood. What now sire?"
Godwin pondered a moment before responding. "We're stuck here. Set up camp. Driftwood is too damp to use in a fire, you four grab an axe each and gather some firewood. The rest use the driftwood to make shelters and the cloth for bedrolls. We'll explore further inland in the morning."

((There are several armed men with Raul.))
"Do you hear that?" One of the crewmen shot up when he heard a distant sound. "Hey! Over here!"
"What's gotten into you lad?" questioned Godwin, not hearing what he did.
"Didn't you hear that? Someone knows we're here, one of the other ships must have found their way back."
"Save your voice. It'll do no good shouting like that.

"Raul, are you certain they can actually hear us and were not just calling to another part of their group?" One of the armed guards questioned.
"For all I know there is only one. We have the food, correct?"
"Yes sir, two full bags Kamota and a single crate of Kami Blood."
"Very well, grab that and any supplies and follow me." Raul started off towards the voice he had heard.
The thunderous noise of the gunshot washed over the makeshift campsite, alerting everyone there.
"What in the world? Now that I did here, looks like you're not crazy after all. Wave that torch a bit."
Godwin pick up one of the rifles and started loading it.
"Everyone grab a weapon. After that we could have some wildlife creeping in and we don't know if the others are friendly."

The patrol surrounded Tenarius and marched towards Howe. They were deeply distrustful of the man and kept a constant watch on him, almost as if he were a prisoner. The walk was a long one, but achievable within the day. When they reached the city the Captain left the foreigner with the rest of the patrol and contacted Earl Cenred Gudramson, a young man with fair hair and dark eyes.
"This is the man m'lord, claims to be a diplomat from somewhere he calls 'Dalmascus' "

"I saw we explore deeper into the island before we search for one though." He turned and readied himself to move into the jungle ahead. "And should your men get restless at night remind them they will die should they touch Usi, by my hands if not her hands." He stated calling out Usi, the only female in the group and his daughter.
A grin spread across Godwin normally clean shaven, but now stubbled face.
"I'll pass the message on, don't you worry. Might be best to explore in groups and cover more ground, and leave some behind to take care of the camp. We'll meet back here in a few hours"
After conversing with the crew, Godwin sets off into the jungle. The group remained in silence, hearing nothing but the rustle of the plants the trod past and the occasional slice from Godwin's axe as he cleared the path ahead. He had made a mental note, Axes may not be the most efficient tool for the task in the future. He had also been thinking about the potential of this land. So much unique plants grew here, there would surely be something he could exploit and sell. Or perhaps a creature that could be trained as a pet. But he knew there were more pressing matter at hand. His primary concern should be getting back, and so he pressed on.

Earl Cenred arrived at the location given to him by Tenarius. The more he thought about it the more absurd the situation seemed. Even if it were true, he would then have to bring this information to his liege, the Queen, and deal with the fact that a nation was resurfacing on his land. He couldn't help but think that a conflict would erupt sooner or later.
He approached a cave entrance with soldiers guarding it and addressed the closest.
"You there, to whom are you loyal? Speak up."

The Queen set foot for the first time on Skadii soil. She looked around at its inhabitants and was surprised how much decide to forgo clothing, noticing those in a kind of light armour. Soldiers no doubt. Her gaze then turned towards the elaborate silk robed attire, a kind of holy garment perhaps? She was also inwardly embarrassed at how difficult she found telling each one apart from the next. The crew began unloading the cargo of the ship. Some merchants had been invited along to be among the first of the Osmar to establish trade.
One such merchant was Widuc, a well known dealer of Furs and Leather. He brought with him only the finest quality furs from creatures as small as a beaver and as large as a bear, with leathers being mostly Deer and Cow. His stock had been unloaded and, with the permission of the Skadii, set up a stall beside other merchants. All showing the goods the Osmar have to offer.
After the business of unloading the cargo, particularly the horses, was over with the Queen with Krion and her guards prepared to leave for the capital, whilst leaving some behind with the ship. Shortly before commencing the ride, the Queen curtseyed before her Murguard escort, the captain Adelya and spoke. "Good day. It's a pleasure to meet you. You're the one tasked with escorting us to your capital correct? Do tell me, how long is the journey?"

The guards at the entrance saw a man who was obviously of high nobility, but nonetheless he had guards and were alien to them. The man spoke to them and they answered.
"We have sworn fealty to the Dalmascas Empire, our loyalty to Tenarius Auditore, why do you come here sir?" the guard asked.
Back in Dalmasca....
Tenarius is outside giving commands to his troops, making them fight and condition. He spars with a young faced man, they parry each others blow until Tenarius throws hard jab in the ribs and knocks his opponents weapon away.
"Gotta be ready for a punch or kick anytime, trust me it will happen, pick up your weapon and join up with everyone else." Tenarius the soldier. He looks up at the sun, the earl should be here soon but hopefully he didn't mistake the cave as Dalmasca. If he has the guards will send him the right way.
'Perhaps he wasn't a madman after all...' thought Cenred to himself after hearing this soldier speak Tenarius' name. Or perhaps it was an elaborate scheme by a mercenary captain. If that was the case his soldiers are more than capable.
"You're lord, Tenarius, contacted me recently and extended an invitation to the city of Dalmasca" said Cenred, who then looked down the mouth of the cave. He'd hoped he'd not reached it, only a fool would try build a city somewhere like that.
"I would request an escort, as I believe I may have come to the wrong location."

"Of course, we'll leave immediately" replied the Queen to Adelya. As they boarded the barge's the guards put their armour in the holds, wearing their amber coloured uniforms underneath, with red trims to distinguish themselves as Royal Guard. With the rise of firearms armour had become less reliable in defending against them, and any armour used on the battlefield was typically steel, rather than the ceremonial bronze that was brought with them.
After some time, +åschild couldn't help but take notice of the Mur armaments. They used large axes, far larger than the standard issue of Osmar soldiers, and not a single firearm was in sight. Perhaps they had yet to discover them. She had also been highly curious of their method of leadership as she is still very unfamiliar with the Skadian region, to a point where she approached Adelya to pose the question. "I would like to ask, how are your people ruled? What kind of power does Shuriden exert?"

During the silence the Queen reflected upon what Adelya had told her about the Mur ruler. Their religious leader and their political leader were the one position. She thought of Revon and how he was both the leader Parabunny nation and their Creed, though it was unlikely that the similarities continued beyond that. In her speech it appeared that Adelya, and perhaps other Mur, revered the Matriarch as though she were directly under the influence of their god or gods. It was certainly a discussion she would like to have with someone more suited to speak of the subject.
After pondering these thoughts the Queen couldn't help but turn her gaze back towards the Mur Guards. The weaponry, while well crafted, seemed rather outdated. They lacked firearms of any kind, a product which had become standard in the Osamr military. When Adelya spoke up +åschild replied: "My apologies, I'm sure they're perfectly capable. I just find it...unusual, your lac of firearms that is."

On the island off the continent to the west...
Godwin's long trek through the jungle eventually brought him and his party to a clearing. A good thing too, as the journey had been tiring. Ahead was a cliff which held a waterfall that flowed into a small lake. Godwin tasted the water.
"It's fresh, drink up lads. We'll rest a bit before moving on."
After drinking and washing his face, Godwin sat down a bit and thought about the situation. A faint hope would be if one of the other ships had survived they could reach the kingdom and inform them of land, though it could take months before any others reach them. No, if he wanted to get back he'd have to find a way to get off the island without outside interference, but how he wondered.

The day had begun to fade into dusk as the group prepared to move again.
"Fill up a bucket a bring it back with us, the other may need it."
As the words left his mouth, Godwin heard a far off noise. What it was he could not say, though it was significant enough to cause him to clutch his weapon. 'Local wildlife' he thought, yet he maintained a grip on his axe.
"Back to the camp, Raul will be waiting."

Za'harr slammed one end of his dual ended ax-staff into the ground and waited for an answer, grinning in anticipation.

[quote=True Adamance]Skadia, the Mur River Run.
The Queen let them be as they held their conversation, she was confident that her own guard as well as the Mur could fend off any attack. Sir Torhsteg, the Knight tasked with leading the royal guard, received the orders from the Mur and passed it along to his men before speaking to the Queen.
"Your grace, the men are prepared for whatever may come. Do you have any further orders?"
"Just one, don't let your guns get too close to the Mur." she replied with a a slight smile
Somewhat puzzled as most Osmar were as of yet ignorant to the Mur and their ways, he nodded obediently and turned back. Gun at the ready, he kept a watchful eye out for this "Thrash", despite having never seen one before. Regardless, anything aggressive will be shot first, inspected later.

Though Godwin was no soldier, like most Osmar of any standing he did know how to use a weapon, but was unsure how that would compare to the challenge in front of him. He was intimidated, though he tried not to show it. He looked around him and saw a huge number of eyes watching him and the others 'No way out of it' he thought.

The Narrows
The local wildlife here was starling to say the least. It made +åschild wonder why the Mur hadn't hunted the Thrash's if they are such an issue, particularly if this was a prominent route to their capital. She composed herself to answer Adelya's question.
"Alongside, yes. There is a particular river I'm quite fond of, some distance west of my city. The B+ínbrim we call it, we often use the location where it meets the sea to send off our dead."

Present:
The ships dozed through the sand, with difficulty, but eventually where within wadding distance. Several beast had already been killed on land and the Faceless Legion made their way onto the beach.
"Split up. Search for bodies, and campsites." An officer barked at the others.
Within minutes the campsite was found and Raul and the others set off deeper into the island.
"What are these things?" Raul growled at Godwin. "Should the Legion dispatch of them?" at his words the Legion took fighting stances with weapons drawn. Raul already disliked the creatures, almost as if it was melded into his mind.
Godwin was surprised to see not only Raul, but the many soldiers that came with him. This opened his options significantly, he could fight along with the Paric to fend off the primitives, though that may sour future relations. He considered sneaking away with his men whilst the two fought and attempt to hijack a ship, though that thought left him when he considered the number that would undoubtedly be guarding the ships.
Another possibility was to betray Raul, putting him in good standing with the locals. After giving it some thought he felt he shouldn't go back on the word he had given the King, he spoke privately with Raul.
"Had you come a few moments earlier I'd have been all for it. But I've agreed to his challenge, a merchant doesn't last long breaking deals.
But of course, if he is about to kill me then by all means, suit yourself."
He turned back to stare down Za'Harr

'A Dwarf?' he wondered to himself, recalling tales of the old civilisation. A most curious sight indeed. The race had vanished long ago, Or so he had thought.
"Greetings, I am indeed Osmar, though you should call me Godwin. The mountains, do you speak of the Asbeorg range in Howe?" inquired Godwin, unsure if the dwarf would even recognise either of those names.

During the absence of Earl Cenred the Asbeorg, or Serpents Rise in the common language, began to emit smoke from its peak. It took the attention of the peasants of Howe. Word spread quickly, they were reminded of and old legend, that the Asbeorg was home to flying, fire breathing serpentine creatures. Before rumours could spread the peak erupted in a spectacle of fire and smoke.
Lava rushed down the sides of the mountain, and when it became clear that a lava flow was headed directly for the town the Earl's Steward commanded an evacuation of the town. Through the soldiers the command spread quickly and all attempts were made to save as much lives as possible.

The island of Crasmere is the most westerly territory in the realm.
Burtun is the capital and realm of the Monarch, smallest but most densely populated county, situated near the mouth of a river named the B+ínbrim (how much detail of physical landscape d'ya want? ). Also most northerly territory. A fair bit of coastline.
The county of Howe is west of Burtun, rather long coastline, situated near a mountain (which as it turns out was a volcano) called the Asbeorg.
Finally there's the county of Kilerth. Mostly inland, south of Burtun and contains the Heortgard forest, which stretches up to the border of Burtun.

As it hit the town the walls held it momentarily, but they soon gave way. Lava poured into a primarily residential region of the town, destroying a large number of houses. Some that were not fortunate to escape succumbed to the heat.
After some time the lava had cooled down, and while the outer layer was cool enough to touch there was a distinct heat given off by the stone. It would take months to properly repair the damages, but much of the town was still in a fit state.

(( @True, I've got no more Pre-festival posts to make, continue at your leisure
@Raven, Krion has been strangely quiet during this whole ordeal
@Cryptic, for future things, if you see me post about the ships any more it's just me saying "Hey, if you want to make it more realistic this is how you do it, but if not that's cool." If I'd seen how fantasy-looking you wanted the ship I wouldn't have bothered
And since we're sharing aesthetics. The walls of the Osmar Capital are something a little like this with the two "layers" of walls and a moat surrounding both of these, but in a Western European style rather than the Eastern style in the first picture. Inside those walls would be your typical medieval/renaissance town. Farmland surrounds the city with villages further away. The other major towns would be much the same, though with less imposing walls.
And now a member of the wildlife. This one's an Auroch. Type of cow, closely related to the kinds we have nowadays. Stands 2 metres+ at the shoulders and is much more aggressive than their cousins, won't hesitate to attack a person. Funfact: These were real creatures (though I used that picture for a more fantasy look and exaggerated its height) and went extinct in the 1600's ))

+åschild briefly noticed the look of reverence that appeared across Sephrana's face. It seemed unusual that the woman was so awestruck by the sight of her own leader.
Her thoughts were soon interrupted by Krion's warning, to which she simply responded: "I doubt there is any cause for alarm."
She motioned for her guard to keep their weapons sheathed. Normally they would be equipped with firearms, but the Queen requested swords due to the danger that gunpowder presents to the Mur. She had grown far fonder of the people than she expected she would.
She soon learned why Krion had given the warning he did through the exchange between Revon and Shuri'den'shalvys, Revon was clearly on edge after seeing Shuri'den'shalvys' pet and, despite the valuable lessons she learned from him, Revon had always seemed slightly paranoid in her eyes.
Standing with Sir Torhsteg to her left and Krion to her right, +åschild offered a bow once Revon had finished.
"You have my deepest gratitude for your invitation into your lands. The journey has been most pleasant alongside Capitan Adelya and I look forward to learning more about your people."

In Skadia....... The Coral Tower
The Queen, whist momentarily taken aback by the Mur Leaders actions, engaged in the welcoming gesture as she had seen preformed with Revon. 'How strange' she thought to herself, briefly wondering how strange must her own customs seem to outsiders. Sir Torhsteg had maintained a steely gaze directly ahead of him throughout the exchange, as had the other guards that were brought along to the tower. As Shuri'den repeated the gesture with Krion, whom was still under the moniker of Sir Vin of Beckley, +åschild softly placed her hand on Torhsteg and offered a warm smile, letting him know that he can stand easy.
The rest of the soldiers followed the actions of their commander, giving them their first real opportunity to take in the building they were in, whilst still looking professional of course. Torhsteg couldn't help but look at the odd congregation. Giants, Reptillians, Humans and Mur under one roof. Being the most foreign, it was the Mur that held his interest the most. The immediately noticeable thing that struck him was their women. Their women were soldiers just as much as the men were, something that didn't happen in Osmar society. Many worked as smiths and the like, but none bore arms. Along this line of thought he attempted to think of a reason why but little came to him. They merely didn't.
His thoughts were scattered when the group had moved to the lower hall. The leader of the Giants spoke up and he briefly considered what he said, it was true that the Tal-Men were an important trading partner, particularly because trade from Crasmere flowed frequently their land. But it was mention of the Paric that set his mind running again. It was no secret that the courts of Osmarium held a hint of resentment for the Paric due to the influence they held with the Queen. She had been trained by their creed and was ready to marry one of their people. Even though it was known that Sir Vin spent much of his life in Osmar land there had still been some suspicion around him.
However, there was nothing to prove and certainly nothing treasonous, so Torstehg resigned himself to listening to the ongoing conversation.

The Queen's attention was immediately taken by the instruments the Mur captain had presented. After seeing them, she was eager and curious to see what kind of performance had been planned. She wondered no longer when they began. As a whole, it was rather informative, doubling as a story of creation as well as a piece of music. She also found it to be very sombre, particularly when they spoke of their homeland and the storm god. A distinct sense of longing emanated from the tune, yearning for the lost Shalvys. The beautiful but tragic music then stopped, and after a moment of silence the Queen began a slow, soft clap. She was unsure if they would recognise the gesture at first, but continued regardless with a smile on her face. After about the fourth or fifth clap, Sir Torhsteg joined in similarly. A second later the other guards had followed suit and every Osmar was engaging in a somewhat tame applause. It soon dissipated and the Queen was silent for a while, thinking about the song she had heard.
After Shuri'Den'Shalvys announced the current meeting had concluded +åschild rose up out of her seat, took a bow and offered up words of congratulation before taking her leave back to the provided quarters to retire for the night. Along the way she spoke to Torhsteg
"Tell me Sir Torhsteg, what do you make of these Mur?"
The knight was hesitant at first, but soon spoke his mind.
"They are a most....curious people Your Majesty. Physically they are far more distinct from us than any of the others in the homeland. Their choice to forego clothing is most unusual. They also seem to have a certain charm, though I cannot say what or why. I'm afraid I cannot say much more that that Your Majesty, but no doubt we'll soon learn more of them."

The day had come for +åschild to return to her realm. The time spent in Skadia was pleasant but the kingdom needed its Queen. She arranged for a Mur escort to bring her and the guard back to the harbour where the ship she had arrived on was stationed. She took the journey back as one last opportunity to take in the scenery. It truly was a unique and distinctive landscape very different to the lowlands and forests of Osmarium. The merchants that had booked passage alongside had packed up what they had traded and were confident about their ability to profit of the exotic Skadian goods. After everything was aboard the ship they set sail for the homeland.
At the Burtun harbour...
A ship arrived at the docks. Not of Osmar origin nor a Tal-men trade vessel, but a Paric ship. Somewhat uncommon it raised a few eyebrows as it docked. When it did a further surprise came Godwin the explorer stepped off and hastily made his way to the dockmaster and explained his situation. Once he was done he hastily made his way to the castle to inform the Queen of what he had discovered. Making his way he explained himself several times to many guards that attempted to stop him until finally reaching the throne room where he saw the Chancellor. Before turning to face Godwin he spoke in a rather angry voice.
"What is the meaning of this intrusion?"
Godwin knelt down infront of the empty throne
"My apologies m'lord. It is I, Godwin, and I've returned from my journey"
"Godwin? You've been gone a long time"
"Yes lord Chancellor, in my travels I've discovered land. Not only that, but a new race of people"
"Indeed? The queen would want to hear of this. She is away for now, take your time to clean yourself up"
As he stood up Godwin noticed for the first time how unseemly he looked. He had long unkempt hair and beard, a far cry from the well groomed merchant that first left these lands. He gave thanks to the chancellor and took his leave to prepare himself for when the Queen returned.

Several days later...
The Queen's ship had at last returned from the festival. Many had turned out to greet her and the streets where lined with soldiers to keep the pathway to the castle clear. A carriage was arranged as soon as they royal flag was seen flying atop the incoming vessel. Upon docking the accompanying guard was split in two, half escorted the queen back to the keep whilst the other protected the merchants as they unloaded their cargo. It was a familiar but welcome sight for the Queen, two building jutted up above all else in the city, the Cathedral and the Palace. The path taken was strictly through the affluent sections, some had wondered if the Queen knew, or even cared about, the state of the districts less well off.
The escort reached the castle and +åschild entered, taking her position on the throne, with Krion ever at her side. After discussing minor affairs of the realm with the council Chancellor Eofor brought a more pressing matter to her attention.
"Your Majesty, it is with joy that I inform you that your sanctioned explorer has returned alive and well, and with news of land to the west."
"Is that so? I would like to speak with him." She then turned to the a pair of guards "You two, please, bring Godwin before me"
The two guards nodded dutifully and left the room. Several minutes passed before the doors opened again and in came Godwin looking like his old self. Well groomed and adorned with extravagant clothing he knelt before the Queen.
"It is an honour Your Majesty."
"You may rise. I am most eager to heard of what your expedition has yielded."
"Thank you. I am afraid to report that I was unable to physically bring back anything due to...complications. But I have discovered an Island far to the est. A populated one at that. Far warmer than our own land. I discovered a civilisation of cat-man hybrids, the Island is called Kirath"
At first the idea of a cat-man hybrid seemed outlandish, but considering she had spent her time amongst fish-men it was not unreasonable.
"You put me in a difficult position. I have little more than your word, but if what you say is true then I would be a fool not to let you follow up.
These 'people' you speak of, they were friendly? Civilised?"
"I found them and their King most hospitable m'lady. Indeed they are, not as civilised as us of course, but it would be easy to negotiate with them.
You were most generous with your previous endorsement, but if you were willing I would like to request your permission to establish a permanent settlement on this Island and use it to explore further. I have the funds needed for the resources, all I need are the ships."
The Queen sat in thought for a few moments, before bidding Godwin to leave the room so that she may discuss the situation with her advisors. Many things were discussed, the cost of such an expedition, the benefit, the possibility of allying with these new people and brining religion to them. After a few minutes Godwin was summoned back and given his answer.
"Once again, I have decided to accept your proposal. I will grant you seven ships, four frigates and three transports. You will take with you a regiment of my soldiers as provided by the Marshall and two seers, one of each discipline. Recruit volunteers to help you colonise the land. You will act as leader of the colony and as a representative to the people of Kirath. Befriend them, do your most to improve relations with them. You are dismissed and may depart at your leisure."
"This is wonderful news my Queen. You are most generous and I assure you your faith in me is not misplaced."
As Godwin left ecstatic, short only a skip in his step, the Queen posed a question to the Chancellor, to which she knew the answer already.
"Tell me Lord Eofor, if I had this King of theirs beholden to me, what would I then be?"
"Why, an Empress Your Majesty"
She smiled softly at hearing that, the word sounding pleasant to her.

As it was the most westerly port in the realm, Godwin made a stop at the island of Crasmere before committing his ships to the high seas. He had arranged for the last of the resources required to be collected here, wood for construction and crops for farming were among the last to be loaded when the explorer was met by the Earl of Crasmere, Geld Ecgberhtson, as well as a collection of guards. By now word had spread across the kingdom of both his discovery and his new mission, it was only natural that the Earl had learned too. But what he had to say on the matter was somewhat surprising.
"Hail Sir Godwin. How fares your preparations?"
Sir? Godwin was not used to being hailed as such. It was usually reserved for minor nobility, whereas he was a lowborn, though a very wealthy one at that. He offered a bow in response before speaking
"They are almost complete m'lord, we should be setting sail within the hour. To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"Very good. I came to wish you luck on your journey. And to make a request. If you would have them, I would like you to take with you 10 of my guards as well as one of my trusted knights, Sir Aelfgar."
Godwin thought a moment, the Earl surely had some ulterior motive to make a request, but he knew better than to question it. He hadn't much ground to refuse.
"Of course m'lord, I would be glad to have them aboard."
The Earl waved the uniformed men forwards, their gear similar to that of the Queen's soldiers, but with a Green trim in the place of the Queen's red. The two men exchanged a few more words before Godwin departed, braving the high seas once more.

Approaching Cy'Rath...
"Land ho!"
Bellowed from the crows nest the two words were met with cheers after the long time spent sailing. Godwin himself was relieved that he had managed to reach the island a second time. He approached the captain of the ship, pleased that he delivered them safely.
"Fine sailing captain, you have my gratitude"
"All in a days work, what're we looking for?"
"A harbour, circle around the island, I'll know it when I see it."
Godwin placed a hand on the captains shoulder, as he did so it revealed a curious blade attached to his waist.
"What's that then?"
Confused for a moment, but then realising he was referring to the knife, Godwin unsheathed it and held it in front of him. It was just short of a half metre long with a thin and rather wide blade. He slashed the air with it once before raising it again.
"Nice eh? That island has some thick vegetation. Last time I was here I noticed our normal weapons weren't quite effective at getting through, so while I was waiting for the Queen to return I requested a blacksmith to make this for me. If it works well I might put in a larger order."
The captain let out a low chuckle at the novel blade, then continued to focus on the task at hand.
Some time later
"There it is captain, that's the harbour" yelled Godwin to the captain from the bow. The captain nodded and steered closer to the harbour then ordered the sails to be raised as Godwin approached once more.
"What now Godwin?"
"I'll take a row boat to shore and speak with their king. I'm sure I can secure docking permissions and request to construct a village on the eastern die of the island. Drop anchor until I return"
With that, Godwin set off in the rowboat to the village of the Cat people and requested to speak with King Za'Harr

Godwin managed to row the small boat to shore without incident. He clambered atop the jetty he now found himself beside. He stood upright, fixed his clothes and was about to walk into the town but was met by a small child. He knelt down to it.
"Why hello there, what's got you running out here like this?"

The child quickly gave Godwin a necklace of silver orbs and grabbed his hand to lead him back to the village to meet with Za'harr who was eagerly awaiting his friends arrival, As he stood and waited he pondered how well his friends would put to use the "Turok" the King and Dwarf had built for them, it had been tested and was certainly ready but small doubts shot across his mind.
Godwin motioned to inspect the necklace gifted to him but before he could do so properly he had been led away by the young child, he thought it best to simply follow. After walking through the village he found himself before King Za'harr. He took a bow as he spoke.
"Ah, your Highness, it is my pleasure. As I promised I have returned to your beautiful island, how has it fared in my absence?"

"Ah my friend welcome back, we have fared rather well since we hunted down our beast, and how have your people fared since we last met, but walk with me as you do" Za'harr lead them down into a valley as they spoke, eagerly awaiting the reaction of the reveal to his friend.
As they walked, Gungir was back in his hut, working metal and hammering away at a few new weapons he thought of whilst building the craft for Godwin.
Following obediently, Godwin conversed with Za'Harr
"They are well. When I spoke with her my Queen had recently returned from a festival in a far off land. Home to some strange, almost fish like creatures. She is also due to be wed soon if I am not mistaken. She was generous enough to allow me to return to your island."
Godwin halted a moment before continuing.
"And she has given me a task. As you may have noticed there are several of my nations ships here. Your Highness, I would like to ask your permission to construct an Osmar settlement on the eastern side of this island."

Za'harr stared into Godwin's eyes with a piercing glare that went straight into any creature's soul.
And if we are met on those terms, I have a gift for you to use on your travels and possibly aid you in battle, but we will wait for my Royal Sentinel to arrive with the equipment before we proceed further.
It was astounding how the King could instil such fear in Godwin, as if it touched upon some primal terror. Nevertheless, Godwin was a master of composure and while some fear may have shown it was certainly not to the extent it was felt.
"Of course, it would be a travesty if anything were to sour relations, and naturally your people would be welcome should they need or wish to visit for any reason."
The talk of this 'gift' was most curious, so Godwin waited to see what the King had in store.

Cryptic WarDevil wrote:"I thank and trust that you will hold up to these terms, now then this gift I spoke of will be revealed to you through this cave" Za'harr led Godwin down into a small cave with torches lighting the way until reaching an open mouth of the cave where the creation floated. "This my friend, is Turok, a craft the Dwarf and I have built for your use, it is able to go beneath the waves of the sea and uses these for air while under the water, they are hooked into pipes connected to their shells which are water proof and only let water out, not in. There are enough of them to hold 8 cycles worth of air under water, they take 2 cycles to gain their own air back as they require no food, they live off of sun rays but if you care to feed them, use tree bark or leaves. They give off air so you can breathe inside the Turok, and if you wish to dive, just hold them to your mouth where they large opening is and you will be able to breath for at most 30 minutes. Za'harr turned to see Gungir arrive with the rations and air sack creature to throw in the Turok. Gungir spoke, "Aye lad, this an't no lie, she can go about 18 meters below the surface without taking any up any air value, her max depth she can go is about 28 meters, where you're gonna start having to be careful with how move her, here let me show you how she works" Gungir jumped on top of the craft and opened the hatch, sliding in and waiting for Godwin. "Go, see what he has to show you, I promise you will make better use of it than we will, you are more seafaring than we are." Za'harr said with a light chuckle
The Merchant stared in disbelief, both at what he had looked at and what he had been told. This craft could apparently go below the water. He went along with there request and boarded the vessel, searching for words for his question as he did so. "How do you change...what I mean is, how does this craft lower and raise itself?"

"Huh" replied Godwin, only managing a single word in a mixture of confusion and amazement. "It is a most fascinating contraption, but what tasks would you imagine it performing?" The latter stumped Godwin, he failed to realise a situation for this admittedly amazing craft to be used in. Perhaps a more experienced sailor would know. It also dawned on him that he should not keep his expedition waiting.

It also dawned on him that he should not keep his expedition waiting. "Mainly an exploration tool lad, but if need be, she can be used for war. She's got about 4kilos of explosive bombs in this area" Gungir lifts a metal lid to reveal a number of cluster bombs, floater bombs, and fuse tubes (fuse tubes are EXTREMELY explosive tubes of black powder projected by 2 small cans of yellow salt ((builds enough pressure to blow a closed container into pieces)) placed on either side with small holes in the bottom) which act like torpedoes to an extent. "As well having several observation areas and hatches that ye can use for defense and getting your environment understood." Gungir smiled as he saw something out of one of the scopes. Say lad, ye want to see her in action? "
Much of what the Dwarf had said to him was unknown to him. Terms like Cluster Bomb, Floater Bomb, Fuse Tube and Torpedo were all new. While he could deduce the first two the latter were lost to him. "That would be most appreciated, but I'm afraid I have to request a brief demonstration as I must return to my expedition."
In Kilerth, Osmarium...
The Earl Wulgan Cyneson of Kilerth has passed. Murdered before his time by an unknown assailant. He died childless, and due to events with his brothers in the past the inheritance fell onto his cousin, Coenred Bericson of Dunburgh. He had previously been a Baron and very popular amongst the courts. A devout man with near white hair the inheritance was already secured by his eldest son, while his second would inherit the Barony of Dunburgh. There was little to no resistance to his crowning and he was very outspoken in his hostility to the Paric. His first act as Earl was an order to the Creed. He gave a speech telling them that the would no longer be welcome in Kilerth and tasked couriers with travelling to their known hideouts and giving them official notices requesting their immediate departure.

"Aye this I can tell, well lets get goin!" Gungir threw Godwin in the Turok, closed the hatch, and dove under the water, he chuckled as he saw the amazement on Godwin's face. "Impressive eh? It's rather amazing to see under the waves, and a also a great way to get under a ship" he chuckled and pulled the Turok further down, giving Godwin the control chair "Go on lad, see what she can do, when yer ready just pull up next to yer ship there and hit that lever up to surface this beauty!"
The contraption was amazing. Godwin had to figure out a way to obtain the knowledge of constructing these, it would do wonders for both his wealth and the kingdom. But it was also disturbing how people from a far off land could build a contraption like this whereas those from his own hadn't even dreamed of the idea. When handed the controls, he piloted the craft somewhat poorly. He had no experience with such a device but at least after watching Gungir he had a rough idea of which knob does what. After some time he located where his ships were and surfaced as close as he dared. He arose from the hatch and waved to the closest. Soon after a small rowboat was sent to greet him and he gave a message to bring back. "Inform the men that they are to dock and deliver the resources and settlers to the eastern-most side of the island. I will meet them there and we shall construct a settlement.
And make sure to tell them that the natives are our friends, no harm should come to them." The sailor did as he was told and the first of the transports made it's way for the harbour.

Back on Cy-Rath King Za'harr was busy crafting a device to glide with, possibly for scouting and having competition, the final design will be finished in approximately 12 cycles
"Most impressive, though I don't trust myself to get it back to shore in one piece, would you mind returning to the village?"
Cy'rath, Kings Blood
The first of the Osmar transport ships docked and from it marched out a regiment of soldiers. Well disciplined and trained, the moved as one unit and created walls of men on each side of the path that led off the dock and east out of the village. The sun glistened off their armour and their firearms were presented and held upright while their swords and axes dangled from their waists. Once they were in position more Osmar departed carrying lumber and other resources brought with them.
With each group that set out with resources a tenth of the guards went to escort them. The ship had soon swapped out for the second which carried the majority of the resources until that too was depleted. The final ship arrived with the settlers, the brave men and women who volunteered, or were coaxed, to make their new homes in a foreign land. Sir Aelfgar, the knight sent by the Earl of Crasmere, was among the last to depart along with his 10 men. He slowed his pace, examining the town and it's inhabitants before catching up with the rest.
Kilerth, Osmarium
The new Earl was received well, and with news of Paric unrest there were calls among lesser nobles for war while they were weakened. Unfortunately, he had no cause for war. No reason to present to his people or other leaders. To rectify this issue he sent his Chancellor on a mission to fabricate on claim on Corpselight and its surrounding region, to create false documents that prove the land should rightfully be under his control and thus allow an opportunity to attack.
In private circles it was known that he harboured an intent to usurp the kingdom. To do so he needed the support of the other Earls and get their word that if the current Queen refuses a request to abdicate they would join him in a war for the throne. He had virtually all of his Barons in agreement as refusal could easily be punished. He opened negotiations with Earl Cenred of Howe, appealing to his displeasure at the lack of expansion by the Queen. It's a long process, but the first steps are taken.

As Chancellor it was Eofor's responsibility to deal with foreign relations on behalf of the Queen, so it was little surprise that Kalm came to him regarding the issues the Tal-Men were having of late. He listened intently to the Mur's concerns before informing him of the Monarchy's stance.
"You do of course have every right to be concerned. The troubles in the Tal-Men lands affect us all, but the Queen still prefers to maintain a neutral stance towards both sides. Though I should warn you, the Earls have enough autonomy to declare war independently if they so desired. I would advise you to keep that in mind and take any necessary precautions if you haven't already. I'm afraid I cannot do much more than that, but I will keep you informed if the Queen's position changes"
Royal Chambers
"This is...distressing news, you're certain of this? Let me see the message"
The Queen paced back and forth for a time, pondering what course of action she should take as she read the letter. It was clear that it was not the first of these letters, meaning Cenred is at least willing to negotiate.
"If he is truly determined in his ambitions then I fear there is little I can do before he declares war...
I...I shall have a letter sent. If he is confronted with the knowledge that his plot has been discovered then he may back down. If not...well, we'll have a serious issue at hand."

A few days ago...Kilerth
A messenger burst through the doors of the throne room. While not nearly as impressive as the Queen's it was adorned in a number of deep blue cloths, the colour of the county of Kilerth. The man had clearly been in a hurry as he took a moment to catch his breath. Coenwulf cared little for the interruption and arose from his seat to approach the man. His face was in it's forties with a pale complexion, like most Osmar, but much of it was obscured by his long, near white beard. He stood six feet tall and it was clear from his well defined muscles that he received years of gruelling, but effective, knightly training. At about two feet away from the messenger he finally spoke.
"What is it that would have you burst into my throne room without so much as an introduction?"
"A-a message M'lord, from the Baron of Balton in the southwest. A large force has gathered at the border with the Paric rebels. The Baron fears an attack as they've done with the Tal-Men"
"Bah, they'd not be so foolish...but still, if they are to attack let it not be said I was unprepared. You go to the Queen and tell her what transpired and request she make a pre-emptive strike."
The messenger gave a quick nod before rushing out of the room as Coenwulf turned back to his throne. As he did so he was questioned by his spymaster.
"Are you sure that's wise sire? Getting the Queen involved I mean, given your intents."
"Outside threats must be dealt with first. Additionally, this could weaken the Queen's armies, if that happens and I get Earl Cenred's full support the throne will be mine.
Send messengers to the Barons, tell them to have their troops ready to march on my command."
Present Day, Burtgun
A look of consternation on her face, +åschild replied to Krion's suggestion.
"I fear that may not accomplish much. If he dies the creed will be blamed regardless of who's blade commits the act, and his sons will not be forgiving. Given the family history of knightly training..." her voice trails off and soon after there's a knock at the door.
"Enter"
The chancellor walks in after receiving the message from Kiletth
"My apologies your majesty, but I have received an urgent message from Coenwulf." The chancellor informs +åschild of the events transpiring along the border with the Cauti rebels
"Thank you Chancellor. I think I'll turn in for the night, I shall have a decision for you in the morning."

Cy'Rath
The first three months of the colony's life required a very hands on attitude from Godwin as he coordinated it, leaving little room for interaction with the natives. The first constructions were what were considered essentials. A simple wooden Palisade for protection from local wildlife, small houses for the settlers, areas marked for farming, a training ground, a chapel and a larger residence for Godwin which also contained a hall for receiving guests. Since being built the training ground was rarely empty, soldiers and settlers alike constantly occupied it creating a constant sound of combat. The initial ships bar one had made a return journey a supply route from Kirath to Crasmere was established which delivered about once every two months. The ship that stayed routinely patrolled the surrounding waters to ensure safety, though there were plans to bolster the patrol once the colony was better established.
Overall, the Colony was doing well and Godwin had been sending routine updates with the ships that returned from their supply missions. If the good relationships with the natives keep up the settlement is in an excellent position for even further exploration, particularly of the larger landmass to the west.

The Queen had come to a decision on the matter of the Cauti. They have weakened an ally severely and are a great threat to stability. With this in mind she gives her instructions to the Chancellor.
"Chancellor. Draft a letter to Despot Jakyl of the Paric. Extend an offer to assist his nation in the war with the Cauti rebels. He shall have the full might of the kingdom on side. Inform the Earls, have them ready their forces."
"Of course your majesty"
Eofor nodded dutifully and left to produce the letters reuested. As Aeschild took her seat upon the throne the Marshall approached having heard the Queen's instructions.
"Shall I assemble an army?"
"No, not yet. Wait until we receive word back."

The Royal Hall, Burtgun
Expecting a reply from the Paric the Queen instead received a missive from the new Prime Minister of the Tal-Men. Reading it revealed what could be considered a call to arms against the Cauti. Regardless of who they'd be fighting alongside the intent was war with the Cauti and the way for war was opened. She instructed the Chancellor to compose a letter in response, joining in the war, as well as letters to the vassals calling upon their obligations.
It was then time to discuss military strategy with the Marshall and notable knights. After some time the plan was set, light warships would depart as soon as possible to blockade the ports, with the priority being on former Tal-Men lands. The levy of Kilerth would be raised, gathered and sent to bolster initial Tal-Men assaults. This force would then be strengthened by reinforcements from Howe some time later while the Queen's own soldiers would be transported by sea with large warships as escorts to attack from the shore.
Kilerth
After being informed that the kingdom is now in a state of war Earl Coenwulf decided to lead his army personally. A strong ruler must be a strong fighter and commander after all. He donned his armour in preparation. As the war was in the south, he could afford to wear his full plate, custom fitted and gilded of course. The most striking part was perhaps the helmet, specifically the face. Face plates were common among the Osmar and where custom to the owners desire. His was emotionless, simple yet eerily detailed and cast an unwavering and intimidating gaze wherever it faced. After his armour was equipped, he set about gathering the soldiers.

There was an air of excitement in Kilerth as the soldiers gathered to march southwest. Combat was a chance for many to show their skill and return with the glory of having defeated another in battle. The streets were filled with scene of men saying goodbyes to their families, not knowing when they'd be back and many didn't even know where or whom they were marching against. Armies from the baronies too arrived after been given their orders a number of days ago. When they were ready to set off Coenwulf found himself commanding thousands of men eager to fight with the levy system being capable of producing a significant number of soldiers. He addressed them shortly before setting off, informing them of the state of war and what is expected of them under his command.
They marched for days creating a thunderous sound where they went as they headed into Cauti held lands. Eventually they reached the first of the Cauti held forts. The usual procedure would be followed, the fort was surrounded to prevent movement in and out out of the fort and a siege camp was set up. A messenger was sent to inform the captain of the fort that under siege and offer a chance to surrender. If refused the attackers would wait for days, even months if necessary in an attempt to starve the defenders while cannons periodically bombarded the walls and tunnels were created to undercut the fortifications and collapse them from below using explosives. With luck reinforcements from Howe would arrive before long, giving increased firepower and speedy up what can be a very lengthy process.

Acting as both judge and jury, the Queen spent much of her day attending to the scheduled hearings for accusations of crimes committed. Some were quite simple, a guard may arrest a citizen after witnessing a crime in progress which leaves merely the sentencing, or a citizen may attempt to prove the guilt of another before her whilst the accused defends themselves. The latter was far more time consuming as proper judgement was required. The last was a case of arson. The man was accused of deliberately burning down a water mill. Such an act not only had effect on the owner but on the city itself. His sentence was two weeks in the oubilette, a dark, miserable room with a floor much lower than the entrance among the dungeons were a prisoner was thrown, sometimes literally, and left until their sentence was complete.
Before dealing with the Burghers, wealthy city officials from across the realm, an audience was granted to the patient Mur that have been waiting. Kal'm was confronted by a guard who, after being momentarily puzzled by one of the other guards just about keeping his balance, brought the Mur before the Queen. A warm smile of both recognition and mild relief spread across Aeschilds face as she was glad to be done with the trials and waited for the Mur to begin.

The rather large hawk startled those gathered at court as it flew up and gazed down upon them, it was unusual for a pet to be brought in without express permission. The Queens expression darkened slightly to become more serious at the mention of the Mur warriors. She beckoned the Chancellor to her and whispered to him. He then nodded and left as Aeschild turned back towards Kal'm.
"The presence of these warriors is regrettable but it cannot be denied that the Cauti rebellion creates a demand for them. Lady Shuri'Den of Shalvys puts herself in great puts herself in great risk by being there, though you can rest assured that no Osmar soldier will bring any harm to her or the Mur travelling with her."
At that moment Chancellor Eofor returned with a letter with the Royal Coat of Arms in wax at the bottom, similarly sealed within an envelope, and presented it to the Queen. Aeschild rose from her throne and approached Kal'm to give him the letter.
"This letter will ensure your free travel across the kingdom. Should you ever be halted by an Osmar patrol or toll booth along your path simply present this and they'll let you pass without further question"
Meanwhile elsewhere in the kingdom.
The conflict in the south has affected the lives of many, but also led to a great realisation. Profit can be made for soldiers of fortune in times of need. In response to the crisis a great number of Osmar freemen have gathered together. Calling themselves St+¡elhere, or the Steel Company, they send letters to the leaders of the nations informing of and offering their services for payment. They have enough men to field 5 regiments, approximately 5000 soldiers with a mix of infantry and cavalry.

The Siege of the Cauti Fortress along the border, as documented by the leader of the the Siege Earl Coenwulf
The fortress had barely held out two weeks before we breached the walls. Weakened by the cannon fire the wall crumbled under it's own weight as the gunpowder placed by the sappers exploded underneath. Once I saw the breach I gathered the men in preparation for an assault and keen though they were it was best to wait for the cover of night to begin. The thunder of cannon shots were silenced as the men charged towards the degenerate Paric and those outcasts that dared side with them. Whilst they fought valiantly for hours the faithful were not able press through the bottle neck and were called back as the cannons sang their chorus again.
With a days rest it was time for the soldiers to assault once again, but this time to ensure success I led the charge personally. Along with a group of cavalry I charged forth ahead of the infantry with shield raised and cut a swathe through them. Shocked as they were they could not prevent us from escaping and making several more passes at them until the infantry had arrived and let loose a volley fire at the shaken rabble. The cowards fled at the sight of their fallen comrades into the towers and atop walls searching for a safety they would not be granted. The men followed them up and promptly both cut and shot them down.
As the walls had been conquered the final stage in taking this fort would be the keep itself. The horses were tied up and we marched until we approached the door of the keep. Barrels of gunpowder were laid and ignited to blow down the door. The residents were naught but craven fools. Why, they cowered at the mere sight of me! Though they mustered up enough courage to resist, they did not do so very well. The siege was won and the rebels defeated. The Cauti should not last long if this was an example of their ability. The army rested at the castle and Earl Cenreds men arrived to bolster my own as we left to cut deeper into rebel lands.

Osarium, Burtun
With the advent of war Osmar weapon smiths were called upon to produce the most efficient killing implements once again. While they had kept up business during peace time it was only in a state of war that they could let their creativity shine through. The products of this were wide and varied. Once such creation was the Hand Mortar, a good idea held back by the limits of technology. It proposed to launch grenades across great distances but required the user manually light the grenade before loading it then hope timing would be on their side as they fired it.
A more unusual weapon was the Duckfoot pistol. It possessed four barrels, none of which pointed straight ahead, which all fired simultaneously. Loading the weapon took an even greater time than a standard pistol or musket. Despite these shortcomings sailors, particularly officers, seemed quite fond of the weapon as they believed it would effectively "discourage" would-be mutineers and provide an able defence against boarders.
But one particular gunsmith was less concerned with the projectiles leaving the gun and more so with getting the projectile in. The typical muzzle loaded weapon was terribly inefficient and threatened to expose the user to enemy fire whilst they reloaded. This gunsmith devised a new way of loading a weapon, not from the muzzle but from the breech. The barrel of was to be lowered to allow a bullet to be placed in then raised back into place sealing the breech with a wedge. The design is stable enough to be used in warfare though it is unlikely it would see wide use in the current conflict, being restricted to tests on training fields.

In the field, southwest borderlands
The siege of led by Coenwulf had sparked numerous whisperings amongst the soldiers he was commanding. For many it was the first time they had served under him and although they had heard that he was an intimidating man it did not prepare them for the clear effect he had on the opponents he faced down. Even those that had experience under his command admitted that it seemed....unnatural. As if they had been affected by some kind of power. Had this occurred before the extensive contact with the Mur people it likely would've been put down to idle superstition, but some soldiers claimed to have seen them too using a kind of unnatural power. Might Coenwulf be privy to those as well? Some speculated that he would.

Coenwulf's Tent on the path towards the fortress of Kalnu, a Cauti-held Tal-man fortress.
Even inside the tent the distant clang of steel on steel could still be heard, evidence of of knights and soldiers alike keeping their skills sharp. But unlike the camp, in this room there was but one commanding prescence, the Earl Coenwulf as he gave his instructions to his two sub commanders in a stern voice whilst clad in his immaculate plate armour, his helmet resting on a table. "Saddle the horses, disassemble the camp and have the men ready to march on in two hours. We have the upper hand against these rebels and I would loathe losing it at any point."
The pair nodded and uttered a short acknowledgement before being replaced by Kal'm and the Osmar that led him in.
"My lord Coenwulf" he said as he bowed, "Commander Kal'm of Skadia requests a meeting." he continued whilst gesturing towards the new guest before finishing "He possesses a letter from The Queen herself permitting passage through Osmar lands."
Letting slip a curse under his breath, some comment about being slowed down, he turned to face the Mur and his escort. He excused the latter and with a stroke of his beard he spoke "The Queen's a fair lady but has no mind for leadership."
As this was his first proper dealing with a Mur he raised an eyebrow at his unique appearance. Now resting his hand on his sword hilt he continued. "I've heard a lot about your people. How much is true I cannot say, those fops are always gossiping. However I wasn't aware you too had been caught up in this war."
Leaning forward on the table with a map strewn across it and his helmet to one side he finishes:
"What brings you to the border with these accursed heathens?"

Coenwulf's Tent
Standing upright once more Coenwulf spoke after the Mur's statement.
"And so you come to me to travel a while alongside my forces, is that it?"
Out of what he had heard of the Mur previously, the thing that intrigued him the most were the rumours of the strange powers some seemed to possess, particularly after the mutterings amongst his men about his performance during the recent assault on the Cauti fortress. Without really leaving time for a response to the previous, Coenwulf continued
"On the topic of your people Kal'm, can you tell me aught of the rumours of 'powers' amongst your people? As preposterous as it seemed to me I've heard that there are those that can move objects without touching them."

Coenwulf's Tent
As Kal'm spoke about the Authorities Coenwulf couldn't help but remain sceptical, such a thing surely must be impossible. That was until he saw the result for himself. The typically stolid man couldn't help but show a slight amazement on his face. But as miraculous as it was none of what the Mur before him spoke of bore any resemblance to the strange happenings at the siege, nevertheless it did prove that there was more to this world than he knew. He grasped the gauntlet out of the air, staring at it a while as he spoke again
"And this is common among your people? Incredible, though I wonder..." Coenwulf's voice trailed off at the end before giving a slight shake of his head as if trying to reshuffle his thoughts. "No, now is not the time." Turning towards Kal'm he continued "Travelling alongside an army will likely be slower than what you're used. As you are a guest you are welcome to travel alongside myself and my personal guard if you so wish. We begin moving again in two hours."

Coenwulf's Tent
Coenwulf found himself slowly nodding as Kal'm spoke about his peoples strange powers. Returning to the task at hand though, he replied to the Mur's question "We shall be making a single river crossing here" Coenwulf brought a finger down to the map to mark out its location. Well over halfway to their destination it would likely be too far for the Mur to manage on foot. "And then on further to the hostile fortress."
The Mur went on to show a level of audacity from Coenwulf's point of view as he requested resources from the army. The various gestures he made made would have made him guess horses to ride upon were it not for the horns. That left cows and aurochs, the latter of which were far too ill-tempered to safely travel alongside. The cows, while useful as a mobile food source and for hauling supplies when horses are not available, would surely slow them down too much. Alongside that he requested water, much of it.
"It's a tall request that you make. I need to know two things, firstly, how many soldiers have you brought with you and secondly, the animals to attempted to describe, are they for riding or for food?"

Kirath...
Godwin's little colony had become a bustling village since it's creation, and as much help as his administrative mind had been very little would've been possible in the same time had the locals not been as hugely accommodating as they were. Also of great assistance was Gungir, the last of the dwarves, since he was familiar with both the Cathay-Raht as well as the Osmar, even if he was out-dated somewhat on the latter. As cheerful as he appeared to be his age was clearly getting to him, so much so that it raised suspicions that the dwarves may become truly extinct soon.
The people themselves, the kind of cat-man hybrid, have clearly been influenced by their new neighbours. At first glance the most noticeable of these was the clothing, the Cathay bean covering themselves, usually the lower half of their bodies. The Osmar soldiers for their part sparred often in the training grounds with the natives. Most of the time they could not compare with the sheer strength of the Cathay and so they had to find alternate means of besting their opponents. Even Sir Aelfgar, who had been wary of the natives, interacted with them in a positive way. As the most formidable warrior the Osmar had sent he even sparred with King Za'Harr himself.
The King played a very active role among his people, constantly interacting with many of his subjects on a personal level. That was perhaps the strangest thing to many of the Osmar. With the size of the realm and the amount of people under her it was not possible for Queen Aeschild to do the same. Nor could the Earls, not even the Barons of the realm would have the time. Many of them likely would not interact with mere peasants even if they could, though with the small size of his settlement Godwin made the effort.
Godwin was immensely happy with his work. As far as his status went he held more influence in the kingdom than he ever could have as a merchant. He was also rather fond of the new climate, which was far warmer than his homeland, yet not so warm that it caused discomfort or problems with the crops. His living space too was a stark improvement, larger than the dwellings of some barons. He would surely be recognised as nobility for his accomplishments. 'Godwin of Kirath' He rather liked the sound of that. Perhaps he could seek the hand of a Lord's daughter should he return briefly.
The idealistic peace of this paradise would soon be disrupted, at least in Godwins mind, when he receives new orders direct from the Queen herself. Reading the letter there is a single clear message among it. The Crown wishes to extend its borders and vasslise the Cathay-Raht, making them direct subjects of the Queen. King Za'Harr would still rule his own people of course, and they would keep their method of succession. Still, explaining the concept to Za'Harr might prove difficult. Nevertheless, Godwin elected to rip the leech off and get it over with.
Meeting with the King the two friends spoke about a great many things, the state of their respective lands, upcoming feasts, the results of the King's most recent hunt and so on. Then the King noticed something about Godwin. He could tell there was something bothering him.
"My friend, something troubles you. Foul news from the homeland?"
"No, no. The war there goes well. This is another matter entirely." clearing his throat and standing rather stiffly, Godwin continued "My Queen wishes to extend an offer of vassalage to you. She requests that you swear an oath of loyalty to her and that both you and your people become subjects of Osmarium."

The Mur's explanation clarified things greatly, despite the fact that the Mur had trouble expressing himself in a foreign tongue. Surprising but most definitely welcome was the offer to scout ahead and construct bridges on their behalf.
"Ophren? Ah! Oxen, now I understand. They are a much less precious beast than a half decent warhorse. Water too can be spared, we'll refill once we reach the river. Very well Kal'm, in exchange for your offer of assistance you shall have what you require in exchange for your offer of assistance. Vadir!"
A stirring was heard just outside the tent after Coenwulf's call. Moments later the plate-clad knight that had first led Kal'm into Coenwulf's presence had returned.
"Yes Fa-" realising his mistake quickly and clearing his throat, Vadir re-addressed his father "My lord?"
"There are now Mur in this region. They are to remain out of this conflict, no Osmar may harm them and they are to be protected if they are in the vicinity of a battle, do you understand?"
After a quick nod from Vadir, he went on.
"Good. Kal'm here is leading a battalion of his own men to meet up with a trade convoy led by their Matriarch. Escort him to the paddocks and ensure he receives as much Oxen, Water and timber as he requires."
"Yes my lord."
Vadir then gestured towards the exit and addressed Kal'm.
"When you're ready sir."

Coenwulf's War Camp
Following a bow and greeting from Kal'm, Vadir led the Mur out of the tent. The use of the word 'whelping' by him was less than ideal, whelp tending to imply weakness among Osmar, but such things must be tolerated when dealing with foreigners. Kal'm was lead as he spoke to a makeshift supply yard in which a mixture of soldiers and camp followers gathered to work. Along the way after Kal'm finished Vadir replied
"You'll not be needing the Oxen to transport the timber?"
Sometimes a marching army could resemble a mobile town as civilians accompanied to hawk their wares from the backs of wagons, though at the moment they were all preparing to continue their march according to Coenwulf's orders. Salutes followed them until they reached the timber, at which point Vadir gave instructions to have the necessary timber and water gathered. As soon as it was, the Mur battalion could be on their way whenever they pleased.

"I would be honoured to attend once this business is dealt with, as I'm sure my father would also."
Removing his helmet for the heat it put on his head and carrying it in one hand he revealed a youthful face, that of a man in his early to mid 20's. The eldest of Coenwulf's four children, he perhaps took more after his mother, at least in appearance. Short, light brown hair adorned his scalp with green eyes rather than the blue of his fathers and a scar along his left cheek were the most obvious features.
"Farewell Commander" were the last words he spoke to Kal'm as the two departed. It wasn't overly long after the Mur departed that the army was ready to continue its march to Kalnu and strike one more blow against the Cauti.

Kirath...
Taking on a serious tone and looking Godwin direct in the eye, King Za'Harr responded
"I'll require further explanation on this matter"
Finding his words and presenting them in the most persuasive way he could Godwin quickly spoke
"Vassalhood is mostly connected to military matters. Were you to accept it would mean that you'd have an obligation to provide soldiers to the crown when required, and in return you and your lands would be protected. Truth be told any soldiers being called would be unlikely due to the distance, as I understand it the Queen views it more as a symbolic gesture"
Za'Harr was silent a moment, then continued in a more friendly tone. "So, it is like an alliance?"
"In a sense, yes. One that would extend beyond the lifetimes of either involved. You would also have a say in any laws that the Queen may wish to pass."
"Hah! My friend, you had me worried. This seems agreeable, I accept."

Road to Kalnu...
Operating an army on a forced march did not come without consequences, the army's combat effectiveness would become reduced somewhat due to the added fatigue the soldiers would endure. The goal of securing one of the few suitable crossing locations across the river was worth it though, and the inspiring leadership of Coenwulf served to keep the army motivated. The army marched the first day from sunrise through to mid-day, and then after a short rest it picked up again, marching through the heat of day before finally coming to a rest for the night.
The distance gained by the forced march effectively cut a day off of their travel time, allowing the army to reach the river crossing by noon the following day. The camp had set up on both sides of the bridges constructed by the Mur, preventing any crossing without permission of the Osmar and ensuring that regardless of the side the army would be ready to respond to an attack if the need arose. It would only take another days march to reach their destination and whenever the Mur require them the supplies requested earlier would be ready as a thanks for the construction of the bridges.

Having had time to rest after building the bridges for Coenwulf's army the Mur under Kal'm did not linger very long, leaving shortly after received the Oxen as agreed in exchange for their help. Vadir had once again be assigned to escorting Kal'm and in doing so gained knowledge from Kal'm about his people.
Having reached the river Coenwulf refrained from pressing the march further that day, marching through midday took a toll on the soldiers and if it were done too much some would surely keel over, or worse, desert. The following morning when the men had their rest the camp began to move again, tearing down the temporary bridges once they were no longer needed. Before long the army reached its next target and the liberation of Kalnu began much the same way as the previous fortress, with a siege.

(I've posting like 4 bloody times and I'm not in the mood to do it again so here's a placeholder so we can progress and I'll fix it some other time. Camp sets up, Kalnu is under siege, cannons and ****, messenger sent to extend an offer of surrender to the garrison because custom. Camp is a hub of activity, has hunters, smiths, traders and ****. Coenwulf is drawing up initial drafts for an assault on the castle then Kal'm shows up. Coenwulf accepts the offer to feast. I think that's the gist of what I had.)

In the compnany of Kal'm and the Mur...
The cannons had long since finished their barrage by the time Coenwulf and Vadir had joined up with the Mur in their festivities, who had made extensive use of their curious gifts to prepare for the occasion. Naturally the two left behind their armour, but kept swords with them at all times in case the worst should happen. As the night went on however those too found themselves carried back by servants before the festivities finished.
Most of it was familiar enough, music, albeit different from Osmar music, dancing and food. Most of the food were items they were both familiar with, but a curiosity among it all was Kresh. A Mur delicacy, it was particularly uncommon in Kilerth, being so far inland. Vadir enjoyed himself greatly, and Coenwulf welcomed the distraction.
Coenwulf replied to Kal'm with a toast of his own
"I thank you for your kind words, and I wish you haste in your travels. I have little doubt that we shall meet again, and if fortune favours us in it shall be in less dreary times. There is much we could learn for the benefit of us all."
When the time came both father and son made their way back to the main camp, escorted of course, and found themselves caught up again in the rigours of war.

The fortress walls withstood a weeks bombardment before crumbling before Coenwulf's army. Instead of taking the field himself, Coenwulf gave command of the assault to his son, Vadir, and observed from afar, occasionally using a spyglass. As the soldiers neared the walls cannon fire gave way to arrows and gunshots aimed at those above rather than the walls themselves. As well as entering through the newly created gap in the wall ladders were raised to scale the walls elsewhere and while some were knocked others were weighed in time to prevent this.
Soldiers scaled the ladders as others fought their way up the stair, bodies from both sides being thrown down as they did so, though more Cauti than Osmar. Tal-men too dotted the field as part of the companies sent from Howe, with one in particular standing out as he cut swathes through the enemy ranks. Seemingly untouchable, Miron's fierce performance spurred on others near him as the walls were taken completely.
The keep itself was taken in short order as most of the defending forces were deployed to protect the walls. Held in the prisons were a number of the former garrison, who were freed and placed once again as a garrison as the fortress was returned to the Tal-Men. The army would rest for a time before moving on.

Vadir spoke greatly of Miron's accomplishments in the recent siege and brought him before his father in the Keep of the newly liberated fortress, accompanied also by knights from Howe that had served alongside him previously, and all attested to his prowess. Vadir himself stated that had he the authority he'd have knighted him atop the walls, which is the reason he brought him before Coenwulf. All but Miron and Vadir were dismissed while Coenwulf made his decision.
"I saw your bravery in the face of the enemy from the camp Miron. You're a fearsome warrior indeed, though a knighthood is not something to be given out lightly" he then looked his son in the eye "You truly believe he is worthy?"
Vadir matched his father's steely gaze and spoke with confidence "More worthy than many who have received the honour."
"Very well" Coenwulf gave a nod and stood infront of Miron, who had been kneeling before him, and struck his left shoulder with a closed fist. "Miron, son of Sevlod, you are now a knight of the Osmar. When this war is over you may commission a coat of arms, were it with pride. "
Miron's voice rumbled out as he rose, towering over both Coenwulf and Vadir "I am honoured My Lord"

The Harbourmaster of Burtun became concerned over recent disappearances of ships. Granted, it had been few, but there was little report of storms along the routes they should have taken. He decided to take the issue up with the marshal.
"Captain, the sea is a very dangerous place, ships are bound to go down from time to time"
"M'lord, ships don't disappear like this. None others have encountered any of the former crew or cargo. I'm not asking for much, just a few more combat ready ships to patrol the trade routes"
The Marshal sighed and knuckled his forehead "Very well. We do have the ships to spare after all. I'll have the first light ships ready to sail by the end of the week."
The harbour master bowed in response "I am grateful m'lord."

Kirath...
"I'll not let you leave without a few guards, at the least they can help you navigate"
"Hah, you take me for a helpless child Godwin? Fine, if you insist. But have them quick, it's time I met the Queen, and the others we share this world with besides."
"Naturally m'lord"
With that Godwin had a group soldiers board the ship with Za'Harr, no doubt they'd be glad to return home. It wasn't long until they set off for the long journey to the mainland, broken slightly by a short stop in Crasmere to resupply. There were many people in this world from what Za'harr had been told by Godwin. Tal-Men, Osmar, Parian, Mur, he was intent on meeting them all, starting out with the ruler of the Osmar, Queen Aeschild.
Of course, there could well be more. Who knows what lies further west? Or perhaps south. The journey gave plenty of time to think on it. Anything was possible really, there are already fish people and those that share characteristics with reptiles, perhaps someone will come across some kind of bird man, although another race that resembles food could prove troublesome.
When the ship landed at the Burtun docks there was no more interest than usual at first. But as soon as someone stole a look at Za'Harr word began to spread. By the time he set foot on land a crowd had gathered to see the 'Cat Man' for themselves, all far more modestly dressed than him, who was uncovered from the waist up. The whispers were audible, and amusing, as the King walked through the streets to the keep, accompanied by guards of course.

Burtun
Za'Harr stood above the locals in the city, not so tall as a Tal-Man, but tall all the same. He'd spotted a few here and there along the way that were clearly not from there, not originally at least, but Osmar outnumbered them by far. Cold, hard stone paved the way in all directions and surrounded the entire city. There was another set inside too, separating the castle and courtier lodgings from the rest, with its own gate for passage. There was no stopping on the way in, word had traveled that the Queen had a new, exceptional, guest.
The courtier with whom Mish'enne spoke with had known little more about the arrival than she did. "Kal'm? Oh, the Mur Ambassador, of course. He's from far west as I know it, an Island discovered by Sir Godwin. Come, to the throne room, I imagine your mentor would like you to see for yourself." Mish'enne and her two companions were led through a side hallway, the antechamber being kept uncluttered for the arrival. The hall itself was busy, yet not so crowded to make a man feel squashed. Servants darted about bringing refreshments to those gathered, nobles conversed with each other over various topics, though inevitably came back to the same one. The Queen could be seen sitting upon her throne at one end conversing with her steward, though her husband's lay empty as he had left some days earlier for Kilerth.
It wasn't long until the main doors opened and the room fell silent. Before all was King Za'Harr striding slowly forward, the crowd parting as he did so. Covered in fur all over, it was thicker around his head and adorned with regal bangles. Though he stood upright much like the other races, an astute observer might notice what appeared to be an additional joint in the legs, helping in a way with intimidation as he appeared ready to pounce at any moment. Za'Harr couldn't help but smile at the reception, looking around as he made his way forward. In front of the Queen he gave a simple bow "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Queen Aeschild, Godwin has told me much of you" his voice rose slightly as if announcing to the rest of the hall "I am King Za'harr of the Cathay'Raht."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Za'Harr. I think such an occasion calls for a feast" the steward nodded understandingly have left soon after "I'm sure we'll have much to discuss"

The Royal Throne room
With Aeschild tied in conversation with the Stormdaughters Za'Harr was was left to converse with Mish'enne after accepting the gift. While she spoke the King took in her appearance. She was an odd creature, much as Godwin described, though no more odd than the Osmar themselves when they first met. The two spoke shortly about each others races with Kal'm being mentioned a few times, though from Za'Harr the name was pronounced closer to Kallim.
Moments later the doors opened again to reveal Cellise, an envoy from the Cauti. Za'Harr knew little of them beyond the fact that they were a recent group of rebels. She appeared not to, or perhaps refused to, notice anything in the room but the Queen. Then she saw Za'Harr and struggled with her words.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't hurt you" he said, giving a wide grin that revealed sharp teeth.
"If you see to improve relations," the queen said softly "then perhaps you should join our feast later"
The feast would take place a few hours later in the Great hall, when the sun was low in the sky and those attending would have time to prepare themselves.

The castle was buzzing with activity as soon as the feast was called for. It was a shorter notice than usual, but it was an exceptional occasion with the visit of Za'Harr. and the servants worked twice as hard to have everything ready in time. Not long darkness fell it was time to gather the guests, as they had been informed earlier, into the great hall and servants were sent to fetch them. Even the large corridors of the castle appeared crowded at times as bodies weaved to and fro between them.
The King Za'Harr appeared much as he did when he first arrived but cleaned his fur from the long journey to the mainland.
The Queen meanwhile clothed herself in an elaborate, though not overwhelming, black and cream coloured dress engraved with spirals and complimented it with the finest jewels. Much of the courtiers wore finery of their own, but none to the quality of Her Majesty.
Guests arrived, a slow trickle at first who chatted amongst each other but it wasn't long until the trickle became a flood of people. Nobles and guests took their seats whilst servants moved expertly between them, almost as if performing a well choreographed dance, providing them at first with goblets of drinks and then with their food. The Queen was situated at the head of the room with her guests nearby, and opposite her at the other end was the entertainment.
A flute could be heard throughout the meal, playing softly so as not to interfere with conversation. Also arranged for later in the eve were acrobats to perform great physical feats and a minstrel who was to recite musical poetry based on Osmar legends, such as Ailnoth, the man who is said to have slain a dragon atop the Asbeorg mountain. There was also one of the late King Morcar and how he saved the land from an attack by a creature of the deep.
The hall was a hive of activity and merriment, and hardly any of the guests seemed to care that Cellese was from the Cauti and an enemy of the kingdom, though some of the guards eyed her cautiously while trying not to look like they were watching.
