Nooblius 5794 Share Posted March 13 The ESTABLISHMENT of CAMP STEMMA THE SETTLEMENT OF ADRIANS As the sun rises, casting a warm glow over the rugged landscape, activity buzzes near the southern edge of the Midlands. Here, nestled against the mountainous hills that fortify the intersection of Aevos a camp is settled. The air is alive with purpose as families of Adrian and Middelan descent work tirelessly to erect shelters and create a sense of home. With each stake driven into the ground and every canvas stretched tight against the breeze, they defy the hardships that drove them from their homeland, determined to make a new start. In the heart of the bustling scene, figures of authority and resilience yell out commands; Count Markus, observes with a mix of concern and resolve. At his side is Baron Stefan "The Old Turtle", who soon hurries off to bring the famous Euler Max and other refreshments to the working Adrians, sporting a mirthful smile. The hard-working yellow berets, Ordermen of St. Daniel and regular guards can be seen cutting down a tree to set up their makeshift guard tower while Brother Ninnias gives a rather unconvincing speech centered around his deep-rooted hatred for yellow flowers. Camp St. Emma, placed on the steps of Mount Hugues’ Helm. Depicted from the west with the towering Kingswood hiding the horizon. Amidst the sounds of construction and conversation, a spirit of unity emerges, binding these displaced souls into a community forged by resilience. The Sarkozics and Eulers, with their unwavering resolve, step up as leaders, inspiring their fellow exiles. Ancient names of Adrian Lore return to positions of service, a Vladov commander and Tuvyic wiseman. Aspiring young refugees from the burnt Heartlands enlist in the civil services and restored Greycloak Watch. Burghers, knights and artisans flock to the campsite to partake in the Adrian experiment. That which was forged in the crucible of Raevir culture and refined through its traditions integrated with the spirit of the Heartlands; the jewel of Humanity, the Adrian DUMA shall be restored in exile, duchy or not. The greatest quest in Humanity is renewed as the four corners of the DUMA grounds are set, and as the tent town takes shape against the backdrop of the looming slopes, through shared struggles and triumphs the exilic Adrians carve out a new legacy in this untamed land. All the while, a shadow lurks as rumors of Dark Adunaic lepers pour forth from the Kingswood, foreign interests conspire again to conspire their legacy, and strange sounds are heard in the coming dusk. As night falls, the flickering lights of the Adrian settlement are burning bright within the cold darkness… LEADERS OF THE CAMPGROUNDS Markus Sarkozic Exilic Duke of the Adrians Son of the controversial Duke Heinrik Sarkozic and raised in the cruel crucible of his rebellion, Markus Sarkozic is a chivalrous scholar of Adria who orchestrated the surrender of the Midlands in the Aevos Coalition war to bring peace at great cost. Entrusted with land by the Throne of Numenost afterwards, Markus Sarkozic is lord of the slopes of which Camp St. Emma is settled upon. He is commander of the Adrian Legacy, and protector of its institutions. Reach out to Markus for questions about Adrian Lore or to seek his patronage! Stefan Euler Producer of the Duma Nominated by Markus for his prolific service in previously restoring Adria during the reign of Heinrik, Stefan Euler is the second in command of the Exilic Duke and governs the most important Adrian institution; the DUMA. Stefan also manages the tavern and has published philosophical writings for the Turtle Knights. Reach out to Stefan Euler to learn about the Duma or to work at the tavern! Canonius of Winburgh Maer of Camp St. Emma Canonius was elected still as a boy to be Maer of Little Belvitz, the Adrian ghetto of Numenost. Now that the Adrians transition to the slopes of Hugues’ Helm, Canonius is in charge of common activity and overseeing the stewards. Reach out to Canonius for any questions about housing and storage! Rickard Vladov Captain of the Greycloak Watch House Vladov was one of the two original founding houses of Adria in the Old Realm, and its ancient blood has returned in service to the Adrian people. Rickard Vladov was an orderman of St Daniel’s bridge who migrated to join the Adrian Diaspora upon hearing of their renewed mission despite the loss of the Midlands. Quickly showing a wit for command as expected of his esteemed bloodline, Rickard Vladov was appointed Captain. Reach out to Rickard Vladov to learn about the Greycloak watch or other military training! Regina Chief Burgher of Aldersberg & Tobiasz Maxim Sarkozic Burgher of Sarkoz Supply Regina was originally a guard of an armed force who left the Midlands, and was immediately commended for their loyalty when she stayed. Regina was granted her title after displaying immense aptitude for merchant work. Tobiasz Maxim was the eldest son of Markus, though was disinherited after a troublesome youth and sent to travel with Vasiyeva caravans. There, he was foretold to secure a great wealth like his namesake St Tobias of Aldersberg, so he returned as a merchant to work for his father. The two of them are recognized as quickly rising stars amongst the diaspora, having amassed a great wealth for the resettlement effort. Reach out to Regina or Tobiasz for job opportunities or if you wish to become a wealthy merchant! Alexios Bishop of St. Arpad Vasyl Sarkozic Acolyte and Steward Bishop Alexios is entrusted by the Church of the Canon to shepherd over the flock of Adria, and oversees their liturgies and faith life. Serving along side him is the second born of Markus Sarkozic and a young veteran of the Aevos Coalition War, Vasyl Otto Sarkozic. Vasyl’s service to Adria entrusted him to any position of his choosing but the humble Vasyl sought only to entrust his life to the Adrian folk and the One True Faith. Reach out to Vasyl for general help, and to either for guidance on Adrian faith! 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanium430 517 Share Posted March 13 Tobiasz Maxim Sarkozic smiled brightly as the campground was set up — The merchant went about drafting a trade route for the procurement of needed goods for the fledgling camp. "Wonderful, simply wonderful." He spoke within his new tent! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfTheSaviour 42 Share Posted March 13 The Turtle Knight sat alone, upon a cushioned seat deep within the grand Euler tent, surrounded by smoke, scrolls and papers filled with nothing but incomprehensible scrawls, maddened ramblings and what appear to be city plans. He took another hit from the turtle bong before another packet of moonflower seeds found a way through the holes of his seemingly unremovable helmet and into his mouth, surely this will give him the creative edge for the great task set before him, or perhaps, at the very least the shadow people will have something useful to say this time. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baccaaa 53 Share Posted March 13 Regina was leashing the donkeys and llamas she used to transport tent materials and such for the camp onto the improvised hitching posts, before heading into her tent. "Well-" she sighs to herself. "It seems me and tents are non seperable." The woman produces a chuckle from her monologue. "Now let's make this new home, homey. . ." She would mutter to herself as she re-arranges objects within the tent with a renewed smile. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN_TURKEY 101 Share Posted March 13 From a southern ridgeline, Prince Arathor of Númendil surveys the settlement underway. As he watches over the Adrians laboring with such passion, he recalls the stories of his grandfather, and how according to the stories the Adunians had once been in much the same situation. "Be they Adunic, Farfolk, Highland or Heartland." He muses to himself, "People are people. And people endure." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PufferfishTrash 18 Share Posted March 14 Grace(Maria) was in the middle of trying on wedding dresses as she heard a knock at her door. She would hear something muffled about Adrian settlements. She approached the door and opened it while in one of her wedding dresses that she was trying on and she smiled brightly as she greeted her fiance at the door, he handed her the missive of the news and she read it over. "Ah, finally... Canonius did say it was going to be soon- perhaps I shall make a visit" She would then hug her fiance before speaking once more. "It seems many things are truly improving for the better" This last comment was mainly for her and her Fiance to share as well as their secrets. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
