Muckelpu 56 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Elerína nodded slightly as she finished reading, looking at the fruity Coktail in her hand giving it a slight sway. "They are making good progress." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoxyNoir 841 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Celius's yes brightens as he recalls a time when Celia'nor had close ties with the predecesor state of Adria. He smiles as he returns back to his study room to get drunk again. "Ay'Illyria, may this mark a fruitful start of allies who will fight by each other's sides." The Cerusil would proceed to write down this moment in his personal history book with a sip of red wine from the Starlight (Celia'sul) Winery.

Laeonathan 4002 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Raziel too recalls the times he fought alongside the Adrians and the Blackvale Company 70 years earlier. Thus, he turned his gaze south-east, "Pactvs novi solivs." He repeated then. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaliphra 35 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Althe sat there, pamphlet shaking in his right palm idly. A short, cold exhale leaves his lungs as he squints at the signatures "Yet another alliance." his head nodded, slowly withdrawing from the paper. Amusement suddenly sparked on his face, offering his cheeks life "Not many years ago we held our courts in a small canopy next to the tavern" the aheral let out, leaning his body to the right, where a substantial stack of papers already gathered. He added that one to the rest shortly after. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaslaw 272 Share Posted November 22, 2023 "Well, Shame...

unlegiqDuck 172 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Sylvir Cerusil glazes upon the missive of the treaty in his dark room within the cerusil mansion. He would slowly nod with every line he read. Sylvir would raise his glass of wine to nobody but himself as he exclaims "PACTVS NOLI SOLIVS". After noticing that his glass was empty, he would let out a sigh as he stood up, ready to get some more of that fine Celia'sul wine. William Payne, sitting within the barracks of blackvale, would simply raise a brow upon hearing of the alliance "They still have weird ears though" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
