𝓛𝓪𝓼𝓽 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓒𝓪𝓿𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓮𝓻𝓼 It was an early hour when the Knight of Midden arrived upon horseback at the delivery of his first born and only son. His wife, Sophia, having bore the brunt of an excruciating childbirth lay still moving with the babe in her arms upon a small bed at a local tavern somewhere in the south Middlands. It was true Radmir was no outlaw, in fact those who took refuge in the Exilic Kingdom still remembered him fondly despite his unforeseen political movements; still he was hunted, twice he had fought off bandits upon the road claiming to fight for the falsely purported dead at Johannesburg. The man swiftly dismounted and lurched to his wife, while he was gravely saddened and even heartbroken Montalt men did not cry- he was taught such with swift beatings from his father the “Cow Count.” With his wife dying and newborn barely uttering noise he whimpered from his grizzled figure to her. “You did well, my dearest love. Godan has for you a seat at his bountiful table. Me and Mickael will join you there when he deem it right.” Warmly, she smiled as he patted her head; he had entrusted the ancestral blade to his brother- when it was time his son would wield it. All the while Radmir made to give the servant girl his son to keep safe while he spoke with his wife. It was not known if Radmir was ill, but in private words with his wife he spake of the future of the family- and the continued effort to restore hope to their line. Either through failing health, or upon finding out that his wife was Hyspian and therefore his son was “half-hyspian” Radmir suffered a heart attack following his wife’s departure from this earth. His final words are said to be: “Hyspian?- grahh ahhh-“ He was forty years of age. Death Poem: Murder, I did not Steal, I had not even thought Though my home remains in ash, And my enemies strike my people with their lash. Dearest GOD on high, if not your servant, what am I? To fight for a lost cause, to face servants of IBLEES claws? Such devotion I hold, alone, true. For my love was not for country, glory, or honor; It was for you.

Maerryl looks at the ballot she was in possession of. "We do nae need a king right now. We need t' fix things." She sighs, signing the ballot and marking it down for Thurgrim. "Bu'.. Ifn they refuse t' operate an' fix things without a king, ah guess ah do nae really have a choice. Like a bunch 'f babies tha' do nae know wha' t' do without their father." She sends the ballot off before returning to her masonry, shaking her head and looking down as she walks.

Namora's Journal Book for Journaling Day 1! :D ~~~ I’ve decided to go to the jungle, taking everything that I’d need: some protective gear, various tools, and some food to snack on! I had gone south to the more warmer climates like near Amanthine’s ocean. It’s not often I go around here often and I really should come by more, it's like there’s so much more colors here than back home. And the fruit- the fruit is SO GOOD! But back to what had brought me here in the first place, finding an imbalance and restoring it to where it should be! It was a bit of walking and a bit of riding, and it was getting a little warm so I had decided to stop by the sea and go for a swim. I told Dusty to watch our things as I left them by some shrubbery with my beloved cloak. And- A wonderful job Dusty did! Nothings gone, so all is well. To the important part, perhaps it was just a calling to me, and here it was! As I was below the cool waves, I was excited to see some of the colorful reefs, but I'd be surprised to find it quite duller than I had thought. There’d be a lot of algae just spreading across the rocks and coral, and the schools and families of fish were somewhat lacking than I had imagined as some lionfish swam about. My observations were made between breaths of air, maybe Dusty and I will go look around another section. I wonder how Renny, Eyla, and Maln are doing. Hopefully the soup doesn't all disappear, I still want a bowl. Day 4! ~~~ Dusty and I ended up going to multiple different sections of the ocean around the area, and each one had a varying amount of difference in sea creatures that’d go about and reef health. Something was wrong, clearly, I just had to figure out what was the cause of the slow and deterioration of the reefs and sea life. I think I'll have to spend some time at each one and travel between them all to monitor different spaces of ocean to really spot the difference, so I had chosen the four vastly different of each other, the most healthy compared to the more sick. Each in varying amounts of healthy and sick. I’ll continue jotting down what I find to keep my thoughts all in one place. Day 18! ~~~ As I sit here under this coconut tree, I’m going to list just the few things that are different between the reefs I’ve viewed. Biodiversity Algae growth Coral health Lionfish? The more biodiverse the reef was, it was much more apparent how much healthier it was in comparison to the ones with less fauna. More creatures meant more control over algae and that meant the coral’s health could be maintained. Though, the last one listed, ‘lionfish’, I had noticed that the more lionfish there were the less diverse it was. Which would make sense, lionfish are predator fish after all, but it seemed here there was nothing to make the lionfish a prey? I think I’ll have to do a bit more watching before I conclude the cause of the reef decay is lionfish. I think this is enough writing for one night, under the cloak I go under again. WRITE SOON!!!! Day 24! ~~~ I have no doubt about it, it must be the lionfish causing the slow loss of life in the reef! They keep eating and have nothing to eat them, most likely due to their spines that’d hurt any that would try to put their mouths over it. While the solution could be just to kill the lionfish on sight, it’d be too much for a single person to do as well as to dispatch each and every one to make an impact. I’ll have to keep making due with what I know until a more permanent solution can be found. I want some fruit. I wonder if that soup is still there? I should finish it if it's still there when I return eventually. Day 33! ~~~ There were no lies for how mundane this can be with the routine I have going on- but! I think I’m finding a new solution and key, the key being sharks. When I’d gone down to spear the lionfish, some curious sharks came to see what I was doing, distracted by them, I hadn't even realized the lionfish I had just hunted down was eaten by one of them until I looked towards my polearm! So I tested it again and again, and indeed the sharks could eat the lionfish, I just suppose it's a matter of getting them used to it. Either way, I might’ve found my solution that’d be good for the over population lionfish would be having. I will continue watching for any changes. Day 43! ~~~ As days pass, I think what I’ve been doing is working. The sharks are getting more confident in their own abilities to hunt lionfish without my aid, and the fish that eat the algae are slowly returning back to each reef that would be lacking in such diversity. If this continues, as I hope it to work, eventually I can step away, but for now, I think I’ll just keep watching for longer to see any of the effects. I can’t wait to tell Renny about my adventures here, I’m sure he’d like to hear of these ‘lion’ fish that don’t resemble a lion much besides its ‘mane’ like fins. Goodnight! Day 50! ~~~ Many days have passed and change is slowly happening! Can’t expect things to go along too quickly, but it’s best to see these things through. Not that I want to leave now, I’d love to see these reefs come back to its vivid and thriving life. I thought Dusty would be a bit more antsy since he goes around nearby as I do my business below the water, but I think the trips between the couple reefs we go about make up for it, it is a lot of back and forth commute, and many consecutive days at a beach just perceiving the under the sea events. A few more days Just a few more. Day 64! ~~~ It almost brings a tear to my face seeing the reefs return back to its lively self. The lionfish population would be well under control now with the sharks keeping it well at a level. I think it's about time I get going back home now, I’ll give a couple more looks around before fully leaving. A good time out, but I do miss my family, I wonder if they miss me too.

Krzysztof lets out a lowly scream as his clubfooted cousin-kin, Msciwoj, limps through Whitespire's streets.

"My cousin has a huge heart, of which his predicament hides." HEDWIG OF WARSOVIA , the distant cousin of the hunchback of Warsovia, told her husband-to-be. "I hope that our people give him a chance." Despite having seen him drink the fountain water in Whitespire's square, the young Lechian lady was optimistic. Perhaps... @Olox_

I was thinking the same thing. What if they made pastel colors for each of the already existing colors?

Old: Sapping The powers of Mysticism are considered to be sacred by those who practice them devoutly, for knowledge gifted by the dead is not knowledge taken lightly. Thus, with intent to preserve the nature of their ill-begot craft, a wight, the very embodiment of occult power, may tear apart what was conjoined, taking the phantom melded with the mystic and pulling it forth through a ritual inherit only to the wight themselves. Such would render the mystic permanently unable to draw upon their power ever again. Following the completion of the sapping, the mystic's MA would be denied. New: Sapping The powers of Mysticism are considered to be sacred by those who practice them devoutly, for knowledge gifted by the dead is not knowledge taken lightly. Thus, with intent to preserve the nature of their ill-begot craft, a wight, the very embodiment of occult power, may tear apart what was conjoined, taking one or both phantoms melded with the mystic and pulling it forth through a ritual inherit only to the wight themselves. Such would revert the mystic to being conjoined only once, or render them permanently unable to draw upon their power ever again. Following the completion of the sapping of all conjoined phantoms, the mystic's MA would be denied. If only one phantom has been sapped from a twice-conjoined mystic, this would be marked on their MA. The mystic effectively reverts to being conjoined only once. Mystics with a TA may continue to teach and take on new students, but can only teach spells and rituals available to single conjoinment. Reasoning: Sapping is the most extreme form of punishment for a mystic, effectively being synonymous with disconnection. This usually entails severing someone from a coven, burning all bridges. By giving wights the ability to choose the severity of sapping, they are effectively able to choose for a lessened form of punishment which can now be seen as a 'slap on the wrist', allowing a form of redemption for the mystic. Because of the way tiers and conjoinment work, it also makes sense for a wight to be able to strip only one phantom should they so desire.
