The resignation from the leader of Praetaria's Rest

(A letter was given out with a compass seal - A copy directly mailed to the Rex of the horde carried by an old red parrot)

To all that live in the Horde, I regret to inform that the Praetarian Fleet can no longer have its rest in this land, all of us but those who wish to remain returning to sea. Along with this, the vassal we have been keeping maintained will no longer be under my control, the land returned to the Rex. To any Praetarians who remain, we are still loyal to the horde. We will fight for their freedom until the final breath, aid in their efforts however we can.

-Signed, Admiral Salem

(An additional statement was attached to the letter to the Rex)

(Ooc Note)

Off in the distance, where the sun kissed land a gang of bandits prepared for a great battle… Within a saloon...?

A Salvo man received a call, one to aid their ally in the Horde… The Empress of the Kharajir:

Vydrek Volaraen: “We got word the Flowi got taken by Cauriosans! We need to rally! “

Shanizir the Sanguine: “Darn those furballs' always getting nabbed, gaurd-darnit!" he groaned "Muster the rangers, I ain't gon' sit round twiddling my thumbs over tha' matter!"

With the force of the Salvians, The infamous Hounds; House of Brawm and the Dwarfs rallied together to aid their fellow descendant! So the brothers of the alliance rode to Caurost, steadfast and armed.. To their doom or not they would spill blood in the name of liberation! To Caurost they rode and at the gates they halted.. It’s then Robert Brawm II took charge and picked his way through their gates accompanied by an Ireheart - Soon after the rest of the rally found themselves in the gates of the Warrior Elves! Yet only woe would overcome their beloved citizens as their guards fled from the gates in sight of such a furious rally. A few were bested and  the city they had to themselves... So they searched and searched for their beloved ally.

Again Robert Brawm found himself in a home, Ricky Brawm found himself at the entrance to a secret room...? Carefully they treaded through the entrance There they found an elf… One of the kidnappers maybe? They bickered and fought, back and forth and it’s not until the elf with her dying breath denied the rally their treasured ally... How unfortunate they sought the freedom for the Sons of Malin rather than bringing discipline through death. So the rally disbanded and went to their homes.. They could not find the Kharajir queen but they would not stop looking for Liberation lived on not through flesh but fire of the soul!

Suddenly another word came through - Word of a rally to avenge the blood of the fallen elf

Shanizir the Sanguine: "Ain't that so? heh, let em come, tell our allies John's Jam ain't goin' naur'where"

Bold he was to not even fret or stutter.. Of course it was Shanizir . He has done this many times before… He did not call for the Dwarfs but only the residents of his beloved Saloon, for it was their duty to defend it!

Shanizir the Sanguine

“Fellas, we ain't got much ere' in terms of defense but..." he gestured towards the tables "barricade the swingin' doors, they shan't step ONE FOOT in John's Jam!" the governor-marshall proclaimed with a revolutionary fervor in his voice.

And so it was declared! The Salvo Saloon would stand against the Imperial force!

Imperials marched along the Mesa’s roads.. Many in their heels - Even then Shamizir denied the Horde inference.. Yet their allies still cane! Even then Saloon was surrounded by a countless army… Like sardines they packed in that small wooden fort yet their cups raised in celebration… Fight they would, die they would. At the start of it all one lone Bverta outnumbered cornered.. Yet she prevailed! With snake-like agility she escaped a presumed fate and made way for her fellow compatriots! The fight began in John’s Jam! Many many Salvans fell but they died proudly! Their blood would polish the floors of their keep and their bones would steady its foundations, A Martyre if you will! The Salvans refused to stay down and let their fort be dismantled. The dust would soon clear itself as the Imperials made their way back to their Kingdoms…

 The Saloon still stands strong!

THE SILVERHEART

LORDSHIP

FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE,

ISSUED BY HIS

LORDSHIP

'LUCIUS DE SYLVA'

▒ UPON THE DATE OF ▒

▒ 250SA, 3rd of the First Seed ▒

▂▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▂

☾▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬☽⊰ ㊣ ⊱☾▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬☽

THE SILVERHEART LORDSHIP IS A BURGEONING FAMILY THAT FOUND LANDFALL WITHIN THE SOUTH. Despite its origins and placement it sees fit to establish ties and roots across the continent of Azuras, to form strong bonds with up and coming noble families across the entire continent. The mantle of Silverhearts focus is the healing of others, the progression of magical technology and charity born through strategic mercantile business.

THE SILVERHEART KNIGHTS AND SCRIBES ARE HEALERS AND DEFENDERS, as opposed to a typical order that fights first and treats wounds second. When arriving at a tragedy their first point of call is to put themselves between the wounded and the enemy, and to treat the wounded until they are stabilized. To preserve life is their calling. Once this is done, or there are not yet wounded to care for, they shall fight valiantly. Sating bloodlust, hunting for glory, acquiring endless loot and growing ever more powerful for the sake of power is to be rejected; with the Silverheart mission statement being to protect and stabilize the lives of others through defense and medicine first and foremost.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Ⅰ. RECRUITING

APPRENTICES AND SQUIRES, ARE TO BE RECRUITED AND TRAINED AS RETAINERS OF THE SILVERHEART LORDSHIP, these individuals shall be a step towards the protection of the realm of man, its people and all within the veil, in the home and fervent wish that no such cataclysm might displace us from the newfound lands as did Aevos.

KNIGHTS OF THE SILVERHEART, swordsmen with mana woven into their blades or being, and pure fighters of steel and dexterity. Valiant individuals who embody honour and dignity, rather than falling to the temptations of power. To protect and fight on behalf of others, on behalf of their families, and on behalf of the people of Azuras.

(Squires wanted; no prior experience required)

SCRIBES OF THE SILVERHEART, practitioners of the unknown, masters of mana, are needed for the protection of the realm. Versatile in combat, or constantly chasing the curiosities of the world through research and experimentation. Research and development by the Scribes of Silverheart is imperative for the betterment of mankind.

(Apprentices wanted; no prior experience required)

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Ⅱ. RESPONSIBILITIES

THE FOLLOWING RESPONSIBILITIES ARE WHAT THE APPLICANT CAN EXPECT TO DO ON A DAILY OR FREQUENT BASIS. The responsibilities of retainers will be first and foremost to protect the populace within reach. To guard those without the means to do so for themselves, upholding the law within the Horde's western territories and wilderness. To guard the property and assets of the mantle of Silverheart, particularly in the transport of rare metals and merchant caravans in the expansion of business. To train themselves and their brothers in arms, such that they are ready when cataclysm strikes once more.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Ⅲ. APPLICANT RECEIVES

TRAINING IN THE WEAVING OF MANA, OF AT LEAST ONE CONCEPT, this is a privilege as opposed to a right, due to the dangerous nature of reckless power use. Further arts and avenues can be acquired provided that the practitioner proves themselves competent and capable. Alongside an encouragement to pursue artificing and craftsmanship.

TRAINING IN FIELD MEDICINE, HERBALISM & SURGERY, through practical and theoretical lessons with accompanying textbooks such as those written by the following authors: Matthias Rutledge, Morgan Hallowfall, Li Xiu-Ying, Dele Seregon, Celithor, Casimira and Atarah Elibar'Acal.

AS WE HAVE SET SAIL TO FIND OUR NEW HOME, WE CONTINUE TO SEEK THE BEST FOR THE NATION AND ITS PEOPLE. Both the people of Lotharia and the Merchants of Heavensward seek to gain a fruitful harvest after settling in a new land. Should this take a generation, their goals and mindsets shall not shift. After the delegation between the two vassals, a compromise has come into place. While the Lotharian streets are filled, the commerce within their nation is lacking. Inversely, Heavensward’s economic investment was popular amongst Aevos, and they wished to quickly establish an outpost within a well-trafficked region. Therefore, it is in their invested interest that the two work in tandem.
