hemomancy

A poet of some renown wandered the unclaimed lands of the world, the elven woman donned in pink robes. "Perhaps one day... one day I'll become a politician like the Speaker had recommended..."

Athri did indeed sign this.

THE STATE ARMY OF VORTICE The State Army of Vortice is now recruiting! All positions are to be paid, so long as the time actively on duty is known. There has been restructuring to the military, to give it a much more simple feel, and more of a chance to genuinely allow for citizens and recruits room for growth as they progress through the ranks. Starting from recruit, you make your way up through hours, work, and determination, hopefully attaining the rank of guardsman after a year of service to the Unified Domain. From then, after two more years of service, you could rise to the status of a sergeant, able to train recruits and help your captain out with less daunting tasks. After three years of service as a sergeant, you could then rise even further, gaining the title of captain- the highest rank that can be given to Vortice’s guardforce! And, who knows? After years of work as a guard captain, you, a member of the State Army of Vortice, could rise to the call of knighthood, joining the Order of the Hawk, on the account of valor, bravery, and courage, if the Congress of Vortice see fit, getting a chance to grow even higher in rankings. Think you could take it? Serving over eight years in the Order, you could rise up to become a Knight-Sergeant, giving orders to other knights within the order and even taking on the responsibilities of a sergeant or captain in the military in the event they may be absent from their post. Knights may take 1 squire and 2 pages under their wing, to teach them about chivalry, kindness, honor and valor. The pay of a new recruit starts at ten mina’s per year, rising by five with each promotion. If deemed worthy, pay may be raised without a promotion, then raised at a normal rate if a promotion were to be given. The only requirements to join are to be at least seventeen years of age. Race, gender, orientation, and social status are all disregarded. If you do not know how to fight, training will be given to all without discrimination. If you know how to fight? Perfect! You can help train your fellow recruits. Please send a bird to Athri Onfroi Belrose if interested, or find her within the capital of Talon's Port!

if you put it on a google doc, and them paste it here, it'll work!

The woman of politics and now, yet again defense, crackled her knuckles and gave a roll of her shoulders. It was time for her to get to some more work- reviving the Vortician military for a second time.

Athri stared, half tempted to resign right then and there.

Athri wheezed. Like they have money. What a joke.

The little Cin pouted far off, wondering... are the songs true? Would they kill a child? Only time will tell.

Athri blinked. She doesn't know what's going on, but she's being forced to not care right now.

Athri muttered something, awaiting a meeting soon to come. Her eye cast a glance at her rapier, wondering if it would ever need more use...

Beautiful

A certain elfess muttered something under her breath, a with a roll of her eye she was silent once more. She looks off out her window, wondering if this means yet another 'war' or not. "Everyone is far too prideful." She spat out.

The odd little child by the name of Cin makes plans to go, just to see what all the fuss about.

Cin sat within a keep, her legs kicked up onto a table. At this moment, the girl wondered if she was allowed to be doing that. In the end though, she didn’t seem to care what a rule might have said. She heard a rustle from outside, quickly ceasing her slouching position for one more upright. More rustling was to be heard, and she got up entirely. The Epiphyte made her way outside the keep, circling around the building to be sure it was safe- to be sure it was not being ambushed. Yet, who would be ambushing? Were they not peaceful with all that would think of where they- the Rustlers, were? Cin continued to circle the keep a few more times, and nearing the end of her fourth circle, something within the jungle caught her gaze. Some lights! Small floating yellow ones it seemed. Her eyes widened, and she began to run after them. She was not quite sure what the little lights were, but she knew she had to chase after them to see what they were. Cin ran and ran, jumping over the various items within the wooded area. Over fallen trees and peeking roots, and over flooded marshes and small pools. The various terrain made it difficult, but she continued to run on. She spotted ruins of stone and moss, half tempted to go and climb up them. Her eyes darted back to the objects in question though- the lights. Cin did not know what the lights were, but was positively determined to get them. She has no idea quite where she was, finally looking around to see what she saw, in detail. Tall trees blocked out most of the light, and a large, oddly pretty pool of water she stood near. The lights had stopped near it, and as she moved closer they didn’t begin to run off as they had before. The closer she got, the more her curiosity grew. And then she was surrounded by the lights, and as the girl inspected the little things, they were in fact fireflies. A smile crossed her face and she bounced up and down, following the fireflies as they slowly moved. She arrived at a rock that sat right by a large tree, and she had her hand trail against the bark as she walked. The glint of metal crossed her eye, and she found a dagger left atop the rock. She grabbed it, claiming it as her own. She took a seat on the rock, finding the view to be nice. Cin inspected the dagger, not sure what it was really meant for. And little Cin sat, wondering about many different things someone of her sort would think about. Her feet kicked back and forth, bouncing off the rock. The fireflies flew around her, as a hum escaped her. “This is nice..."

Cin beamed a smile, rolling back her shoulders and brushing the leafy curls out of her face. The girl was ready for more training... ready to collect more heads.

The little Cin cheered for her comrades, as she spent the raiding period training on her own. A plant interested in shedding blood, how odd! Athri meanwhile wondered... it doesn't seem like the Rustlers to run? A hum escaped her, as she went off to figure out the full story.

THE BANISHMENT OF PERALIEN Due to recent events occurring within our city, it is seen fit that the banishment of Peralien should take place. Peralien will be killed on sight should she be seen within the Domain of Vortice, it’s lands, or it’s walls. Peralien has been disowned by the Monarch and Monarch-Consort as well, meaning all claims she holds to the Maelstorm name are nullified, and all actions caused by her do not reflect on the Maelstorm name. Signed, Athri Onfroi Belrose-Maelstorm, Princess of Vortice and Representative of Foreign Affairs In the name of: Vivian Maelstorm, Monarch of Vortice and Keeper of the Depth's

Mirabella heard of the news, a smile on her face as she continued to wander.

Little Cin's eyes widened. She had many questions- what is a Rex? What is a klomp? She squinted at the missive, knowing she'll need to go and watch for her questions answered!
