VonEbs 1224 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The Flagship Volume XI (7/26/2013) ============================================================================================ Contents: Druidic Sorrow Malinor and Delvers Cooperate to Found Leanneil Gallmorian Intrigue Tensions in Urguan Aldersberg to Ash The Political Map of Anthos ============================================================================================ Druidic Sorrow In what came as a total shock to the residents of Malinor, the druid grove was taken and corrupted by the forces from the North. The druids have evacuated from mainland Malinor and have taken up residence on Samuel the turtle, who is anchored off the coast of Haelun’or. This latest loss now places the armies from the North in striking distance of Luminaire. The Lumidrin, Arcane Delvers, and Legion responded to the Druids’ call for help last elven week. After the Delvers and Malinor retook part of the grove, they were trapped in the library, and as corruption swelled around them, overrun by the powerful creatures. The Legion fared much worse, with two being wielding magic wrecking their ranks, dealing a devastating amount of damage. As this new enemy marches south, it is uncertain how the Descendants will be able to defeat them. There are talks of a large offensive, planned by the orcs, and widely supported among the leaders of Anthos, but after seeing their power first hand, the author is skeptical if such an attempt will be successful. ~Ebs ============================================================================================ Malinor and Delver Cooperate to Found Leanneil To provide a place for the Arcane Delvers to make comfortable homes, Malinor has granted and assisted the Delvers in the construction of the new town of Leanneil. Featuring open one story buildings, it features a large stable along with extensive farms. Some observers wonder why Malinor is assisting the very organization that attempted to overthrow the High Council about a decade ago under the leadership of Kalenz, now Sohaer of Haelun’or, and Polgrath, however, the majority of Mali are satisfied that ties between the Princedom and Regency have sufficiently strengthened the intervening years. High Princess Titania and Laurir Relgard are proud of the new town, which will act as a bridge between Malinor and the Arcane Delver fort, located in the mountains around Leanneil. ~Ebs ============================================================================================ Gallmorian Intrigue In a bizarre twist of events, a small island off the coast of the wilds has declared independence from the Kingdom of Oren, establishing itself as a republic. Gallmore, as it is known, is ruled by the VonSchiltzens, the former business dynasty, and has a Constitution. The author has not been able to obtain a copy of said document, as communicating with the isle has become difficult due to the reaction from Oren, which involved all three Kingdoms of Oren: Oren, Savoie, and Galahar, declaring war and threatening to invade Gallmore. After some negotiations, by all counts seeming nonsensical and absolutely immature, the three Kingdoms retracted their declarations of war. Rumors persist that House Greymane and House Flay will choose to invade, however this could not be confirmed. The Flagship will be keeping a close eye on this conflict. ~Ebs ============================================================================================ Tensions in Urguan Perhaps realizing they have nothing better to do, the dwarves of Urguan have become divided between the mountain and cave dwarf factions. It began with the Cave Dwarves creating something known as the Cave Dwarf Alliance, which was reportedly created so that the cave dwarves could aid each other politically and economically. Things spiraled out of control from there, with the mountain dwarves growing angered by what they perceive a power grab by the Cave Dwarves. The Flagship will be monitoring the situation for any outbreak of violence in Urguan, as it could potentially destabilize the entirety of Anthos. At Press time, no one in Malinor could provide any known differences between cave and mountain dwarves. ~Ebs ============================================================================================ Aldersberg to Ash Due to a destructive meteor shower, the town of Aldersberg has been almost completely destroyed. The town, under the protection of the Kingdom of Savoie, has burnt to the ground. Some notable buildings escaped, including the entirety of the town wall ((really? This seems rather questionable)) and the former international capital of Toveah Goldman’s Empire. For those who do not recall, Toveah Goldman ran the largest corporation in the history of the Descendant races, and was the richest man during the early years of Anthos, at one point owning an estimated 10% of Oren, including Aldersburg, Baile, much of Abresi, and a dozen odd shops. It is not known whether Savoie will be rebuilding the town, which was largely abandoned. ~Ebs ============================================================================================ The Political Map of Anthos The political landscape of Anthos shifted radically these past few elven weeks, and the changes could be dizzying. To put it most simply, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan has brought the entirety of Oren, now comprised of 5 kingdoms; Adunia, Salvus, Savoie Galahar, and Oren, under its nominal protection. Oren’s fragmentation and then minor civil war was dizzying to keep track of. Malinor has regained all of its previously lost land, with the exception of the Enclave of Haelun’or. The orcish borders have stayed mostly unchanged, with the badlands being controlled by a variety of clans. The Orcs also set up a camp on the road from the Cloud Temple to the Nation Crossroads in order to “Be Fwendz wif Pinkies.” They are calling it the Trog, which is what the bazaar outside of the Wilven Sanctuary in Asulon was called. ~Ebs =========================================================================================== Editor’s Note Thank you for reading The Flagship. Any and all feedback is appreciated. I can’t improve The Flagship unless I know there is something wrong. Specifically, I would like to know what you think about having pictures geared towards some of the stories. In previous issues, I have done this, but others I have not. I have someone who might be interested in helping me in that department, so it would not be too much of a burden for me. Many thanks, ~Ebs Telrunya 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
