As Aerith read the public missive, she nodded and made light humphs in agreement. "A wise woman my aunt is, indeed. F-cking ridiculous, whiny, inadequate children who didn't get their way. True Maelstorm's understand that they are not owed anything."

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:
Revenant: A revenant is essentially a spirit that has not passed on, or refuses to pass on. They consist of a material called ectoplasm, which is not of this realm. The nature of ectoplasm makes it so that a revenant cannot interact with most physical objects. The revenant is impervious to damage from iron and steel, but can be damaged with aurum weapons. The revenant can transform into 2 diverging paths, if the spirit accepts the death they can move onto being a spectre. However; if a revenant refuses to move on or becomes enraged, they may become a poltergeist.
Spectres: Spectres, as explained above, are beings that have moved past their deaths and accepted the outcome, and are often blue, yellow, silver or white. These entities are peaceful beings though can still be prone to outburst of depression or longing. this does not affect the beings physical stability however. Often shy, these beings can be kind and selfless often doing things out of good will. These spirits are free to roam the living realm until they have decided that they are content to pass to the next plain. Gold and aurum can burn these beings. Voidal magic can also harm them.
Poltergeist: These beings as stated above, are revenants that refuse to move past/accept their deaths. The physical attributes of these beings reflect negative emotions often making them look aggressive or dangerous. Being the opposite to spectres, these beings are loud, violent selfish beings that will do harm if allowed to. It is very difficult to get these beings to move on to the next plane, though it is possible. Poltergeists have many abilities ranging from Shifting, dematerializing and incorporeality. being in the presence of these beings, you would feel a great unease.
Graven: Gravens are entities that are focused on a single thing, almost obsessive, they use the obsession to subvert death only to continue said task. These entities pay no mind to damage risking dismemberment and even death just to get back to that task. The aura often given off by these spirits can be so powerful that it can make others share the entity's obsession with the task, however beings present in the aura will not be forced to do it. They have a corporeal form making interacting with the corporeal realm easier, this does make them easy to attack though. These beings can summon an item to aid in their tasks. they will deconstruct upon contact with aurum.
If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look?
A revenant would commonly have some form of indication of how they passed, so in this case, Vivian would have a visible stab wound in her chest and a lack of pupils.

As Aerith sat across from Gusiam, having just watched him pull out a comedically large book from.... behind his chair, apparently, the missive blew into the room somehow. She read through it, grumbling. "A f-cking war code? Seriously? They give me such a headache..."

Spoiler
The use of the word schizophrenic is added into this missive for a number of reasons pertaining to lore, and I do want to let those who may voice concerns of the usage know that I did indeed look into the definition to be able to use it accurately and without poking fun at the disorder. I understand that many people do have their own thoughts on the usage of the word in non-medical settings, and I do apologize for any upset. Whilst I may be one who lives with psychotic disorders, I will understand if somebody requests me to use a different word. <3
[!] A missive would be publicly posted, directed to the Maelstormic Society.
The Maelstorm Family coat of armsTo the Maelstormic Society, I, Aerith Majin-Maelstorm, direct heir to the late Vivian Maelstorm, hereby denounce your brutish ways and demand that you relinquish any hold that you THINK you have to the Maelstorm name.
The Maelstorms are smiths, wealth managers, librarians and soldiers, not bandits raiding the cities their families built. The city you now attempt to attack is, in part, built by your beloved Vivian, my late mother, who spent countless days and hours helping to create a home for her, her family, and friends. Whilst she may have been misguided in her leadership as a previous monarch, schizophrenic, unknowing and paranoid as she was, she would not want to see her home destroyed.
You believe that there is some kind of throne to be reclaimed, but do you know the true history of Vortice? One would doubt so. Despite never living to experience the city prior to my mother’s reign, I’ve done my research and spoken to previous residents. The Domain of Vortice was once a reformed pirate cove in the land of Arcas named as Talon’s Grotto, with a sovereign leading rather than a monarch, and from what I hear, the Jusmia and Medii’la families have been around the longest, having helped to form the city back in Arcas, and even now sticking around to take care of the city.
There is no claim to any “Throne” you speak of, much less a golden throne. And even if there was, none of you want-to-be “aristocrats” would be next in line for it, as none of you have had any stake in anything relating to the Grotto, to the Port, or to the great Domain herself.
Save yourself the embarrassment. If you wish to discuss with me on this, in a much more private matter, where nobody else can see me decimate you lot with words alone, send me a correspondence and I may meet you in a public location.To others reading this, I want to reiterate to you all–
The Maelstormic Society has no claim to any throne, nor is it associated in any way, shape, form or manner with the true Maelstorm name. They hold no affiliation to myself or my siblings.

While Aerith continued to look for her late mother's belongings, she caught wind of the event and missive and chuckled. This is exactly what she was talking about when she had wrote her own missive, disowning these disgraced bandits running about using the Maelstorm name all willy-nilly. "Despicable, honestly. They've no shame nor any common sense. There is no such thing as heirs to the throne in Vortice. I have the original book stating what this city once was. Thank Malin for my mother's sense of preservation for books, if nothing else..." As the elfess grumbled, continuing on her work, the missive was swept away and forgotten.

A Reclamation of the Maelstorm Name
[!] A missive with the long-since besmirched name of a has-been monarch written upon it would be passed along to those who cared.
[!] The TRUE Maelstorm coat of arms, as designed by Vivian Maelstorm circa 1789
It has come to my attention that the grandchild, named as James Maelstorm, of the deceased monarch of Vortice, Vivian Maelstorm, has claimed to be the sole remaining male and patriarch of a dominantly female-lead family, as well as has nullified the late Vivian’s disownment and disinheritance of the disgraced Peralien.
Whilst Vivian may not have been the best ruler, nor was she the most sane person, her good name as a self made woman in the land of Almaris, does not deserve the besmirchment that it has endured in the last few months. If Vivian were still alive, she would be ashamed to see her own grandchildren acting out the way they have, especially in the manner of turning against their home city of Vortice.
To the Jusmia family, I apologize from the bottom of my heart on behalf of the Maelstorm name for the suffering that you may have endured since the passing of the late Vivian, as well as the stress you have been placed under within these last several months with the disgraced, tasteless clods.
With this missive, I, Aerith Majin-Maelstorm, the daughter and sole willing matriarch to the Maelstorm family name, have publicly decided to denounce and disown my nephew, James Maelstorm, and the dishonorable Peralien, who has already been once disowned and denounced. Any affiliation they have with the Maelstorm name is now severed and nullified, and any authority they claim to have as heirs or inheritors, is now rendered void.

A young 'aheral, skulking about the roads of the warring nations, overheard the news of the so-called "Maelstormic" society, chuckling to herself. if anyone were to be the rightful monarch or heir to the throne of Vortice, it would be her. But did she care? ..Not too terribly.
"Really now... the Maelstormic Society.... they act as if our name has any form of aristocracy. Leave my mother's name be for once," she scoffed. "I swear, my mother would be laughing her ass off at this..."

In the dead of the night, a hooded figure snuck into numerous buildings in the Vortice capital city of Talon's Port... Nothing was taken, however some choice homes would find notes placed atop spots where the council members would have no choice but to see.
Once this task was finished, the hooded figure made their way to the top of the Alley Alehouse, not bothering to lock the doors of the rooftop. The figure sat upon the wedding stage, sighing and dropping their cloak, revealing a de-crowned Vivian Maelstorm, her face reddened and puffy, running mascara covering her cheeks as she withdrew a moonsteel dagger from her waist-sheathe.
“....Syl always told me that elves would last hundreds of years before devolving into madness… well, I guess that wasn’t the case with me, huh?” The short ‘aheral chuckled dryly, her free hand lofting to remove a final note from her bosom.
“...Maybe one day, everybody can forgive me.”
Another tear fell from her real eye as she set the note gently against the ground, away from where she had planned to die. As she did such, a tinge of hurt shot through her core. The woman had lost so many in such a short amount of time… how selfish was she, to take her life at this, when so many others had suffered so much more! She grit her teeth as she sat back down upon the stage, deliberating upon her next course of action as memories flooded into her mind.Her wedding with Joakim af Orvar… How they married under the Heart Tree. The birth of Dana and Corrin af Orvar.
Her short-standing marriage to Seryne, and how horribly that turned out in the two years they spent together.
Her thirty something year long marriage to Eoghan O’Cathain, the wedding they had within the settlement of Talon’s Grotto, and her children- Eliott, Lilith, and Seteth… Two of which were now dead.
Her marriage to Sylvain Ainzworth Majin, and their many, many children… those of whom the pair had adopted, and those of whom the pair had produced of their own blood. She choked back a sob as she remembered the pain the pair had endured together.
Her sisters, Athri, Lenora, and Sana, and the love they shared… Her brothers, Gail, Ren and James, and the laughs they had... her best friend, Eugeo, and the secrets they had kept together… her many children, two in particular stuck out in her memory- they were only thirty four, how could they live with the loss of their mother? Mystralath and Belladonna were both old enough that they would remember Vivian forever more- unlike Fable, Claude and Aer, who were still mere babes and had hardly spent any time with Vivian.
The red-headed monarch sobbed again as she raised the dagger, staring up to the sky in emotional agony… before plunging the blade into her chest, taking the moonsteel directly to the heart.
After a few seconds, the elfess slumped down, the colour draining from her once purple eye as tears fell, her hands dropping from the hilt of the blade and down to her lap as she fell to her side, dead.
Inside the note, when she were to be found, was a single paragraph, reading as follows.
“To my people, to my family, to my friends…
I have loved you all so dearly, but it is my time to depart now. I bid thee farewell and I hope to meet you all again in another time. You are all so important in your own ways. As of the Deep Cold of the 35th year, I wish for Athri Onfroi Belrose-Maelstorm to carry on the Monarchy of the Unified Domain of Vortice on my behalf, and to be crowned as the Heir Monarch by the Congress.
Thank you all for your time.
Vivian Maelstorm”
SpoilerI'm going to be completely honest and say I'm... tired, y'all. I have a job, I have a wedding to plan, I have a family to prepare for, a father to take care of, and I have to get ready to move in the coming months. I know I won't be coming back to LoTC, but if I do... well, it won't be on Vivian.
Playing her has been a wild ride the past year, but I'm tired. I can't do it. I know my last two months have been scarce, and there's reason, but I'd rather not speak of such as of right now. A good few people already know what's going on IRL, and I'll explain.. when I'm ready.
I love you all. I wish you all the best of luck and I wish @neoroseo luck with running Vortice.33 -

-= A Gathering In the Alley =-
[!]
Across Almaris a flyer is stapled to all easily accessible notice boards. Upon the parchment is the scrawling script describing the following.
Join us in the Alley Alehouse on the Amber Cold of the 35th year of the second age for a joyous event! Hosted in the Vortice capital city of Talon’s Port by the Congress of the Monarch, the party will include a wide range of alcoholic choices, games, and delectable food for purchasing. Below is described a few games that will be ran during the event!
Competitive darts
A game of skill in which the participants shall take turns throwing three darts at the board, Highest scoring individual of the night will win a free drink of their choice from the bar.
Iblees coin
A deceitfully difficult game in which players will take turns trying to throw mina across the table and land a coin in each of the opponents five shot glasses. Each coin made in your glass requires you to slam the shot. If party goers are interested a tournament may be organized but otherwise this will be done on a person to person basis.
Tavern Brawl
As the name suggests that the roof of the tavern will be used for brawls. An ''alleged'' safe place to show just how great of a fighter that drink says you are. Bets can be placed or simply just a friendly event of slamming each other with chairs. Individuals with the most wins at the end of the event shall get 150 mina and free drinks for the following elven week.
Spoiler(mina reward is for pvp based fights not CRP but separate areas will be available for both)
These selections are just to name a few of the attractions offered at the Port. The only restriction imposed on attendance is the city will be strictly denying all weapons from entering the city. If you forget this and show up with one, the guards will gladly hold it for you till you leave. Elsewise all are free to attend no matter race, nation, or creed so long as they do not start any issues.

Vivian Maelstorm blinked as she read the flyer, a small smile growing on her visage as she placed the paper down for someone else in the room to read… “I’m glad to see everyone is well… I’ll be back home soon, I hope.”

Vivian Maelstorm, now recovering from her single injury, smirked as she told her friend of the fight she had just partaken in. "And then Syl took me back to the clinic and stitched me up real good," she spoke excitedly, obviously proud of herself and her friends- no, her family.

THE BANISHMENT OF SAEMOS HIDONE
Due to recent events occurring within our city and much deliberation on the part of the Congress of Vortice, it is seen fit that the banishment of Saemos Hidone should take place on behalf of two acts of treason and putting our citizens in danger as a cultist. Saemos will be killed on sight should he be seen within the Domain of Vortice, it’s lands, or it’s walls.
He is also stripped of any affiliation and titles regarding the Vortice military, the Vortice Congress, as well as the Maelstorm family name from here on out until the end of time.Signed, Athri Onfroi Belrose-Maelstorm, Princess of Vortice, Representative of Foreign Affairs and Commissioner of Defense

Vivian read the agreement, a cigarette between her index and middle finger as she tapped away the ash, setting the copy she had down as she took a sip from her bottle of Ikurn'vallei. Once she pulled the bottle away, a single word utterance was made from the red-tinted lips of the Monarch.
"Yuh."
Finally, it was time for the woman to focus on the rebuilding of her city and restructuring of her government.5 -
[!] Vivian would see this as an epic win. She gets therapy- and by therapy, one would mean that she's currently bound up to a gate and talking about why she hates her life and why she just wants a hug.

[!] The wanted posters would be taken down and removed everywhere, burnt in a pile.
A public missive would be sent out to Sutica, as well as posted in Vortice.
"In light of recent events, I have decided to rescind the ''bounty'' placed upon William Buckfort's head, and request that any and all citizens do not make their way to Sutica in any attempts to ''claim'' said ''bounty.'' I instead urge for the King Georg of Sutica to address a bird to me when he is able to bring the baby around.
This is also a formal banishment from the Unified Domain of Vortice against Ser William Buckfort. If he is to make his way here at any point, he will be arrested on sight and sent back to Sutica.
Signed, Vivian Maelstorm, Monarch of Vortice, Keeper of the Depths
