Medea would be standing on her balcony when her owl flew onto the railing with a letter in its beak. Medea took the letter, opening it to read the content inside. As she red, she felt warm tears streaming down her cheeks as a bittersweet smile rested on her face, “I am happy to see that you are alive and well…and I wish you nothing but luck and fortune..Aerin..thank you for everything you’ve done for me, thank you for choosing and loving me…if we were to meet again in our next life and be together, I would have no objections. Do ne worry, I will care for our children and they will be well taken care of, just worry about yourself and stay safe on your journey..until we meet again my cherry blossom..” Medea would hold the letter close to her heart as she looked up at the clouds that were forever moving in the wind, understanding that times were changing and it was up to her now to make that change for the better. OOC: Cosmo, I love you so so very much, meeting you and getting to rp with you was one of the best experiences I had on LOTC.

VIKELA EDICTS 10th of The Amber Cold, SA 154 By the will and decree of Paramount Medea de Viola and the esteemed Council of Crystals, the sovereign authority of Vikela issues forth a proclamation. In the archives of Vikela's crystal council, a conspicuous void lingers, persisting for over six years in the absence of a leader. Therefore, in accordance with the sovereign power vested in us, the following alterations are ordained. Sir Ahmanu Chaperya, who has been absent from the position of Minstrie of Warfare for five years, now passes his mantle to the Crown of Vikela. The Crown shall henceforth bear the esteemed responsibilities of this role. In the interim, Commander Volfe Serge is appointed as the acting head and council to the Crown, facilitating the military's selection of a new leader. Furthermore, in light of Sir Volfe Serge's transition to a new role, Prince Fernando, the second-born son of de Viola, is appointed to assume the mantle of Minstrie of Foreign Affairs. May this edict be known and observed throughout the realm of Vikela. Elliphas, having vanished from the realm after a year in the seat of Minstrie of Knowledge, his whereabouts unknown, stands as a wanted man. Given the circumstances of his mysterious disappearance and the outstanding warrants for his apprehension, it is deemed untenable for him to continue holding any position within Vikela. Consequently, the seat he once occupied remains unclaimed, awaiting resolution. Lady Floria Starling, having relinquished both her council and ministry positions, leaves the prestigious seat of Minstrie of Justice vacant. By the authority bestowed upon us, this position is now entrusted to oversee the course of justice under the Crown's watchful eye. In the wake of Lady Floria Starling's departure from Vikela, her dual roles in warfare and ministry, and her unfortunate misuse of authority to aid her son's criminal pursuits, her once-venerated knight force stands stripped of all dominion within our lands. The remaining knights, along with their armaments and supplies, are now placed under the vigilant purview of the Minstrie of Warfare and the esteemed Raven Knights, loyal guardians of Vikela. May this proclamation stand as a testament to the unwavering sovereignty and judicious governance upheld by Monarch Medea de Viola and the Council of Crystals. Her Grace, Medea Amaranta Viola De Astrea, The Baroness of Vikela, Unbuntu, Vinovia & Uherie , The Violet of Vikela

Medea would receive the missive from her owl, opening the letter, she had some tea next to her to keep her calm from stress. A smile would rest upon her face after reading the letter, "Compé Torti va doucement, mais li rivé coté bite pendant Compé Chivreil apé dormi." Medea said before taking another sip of her tea.

I have taken some time to decide whether I should have announced this or not, but I believe my people and dear friends, along with my family deserves to know, so here I am, here to share sensitive news with you all. For 40 years, Medea Viola De Astrea had been married to Aerin Sinan. We held a wedding all the way back in Almaris, in a little town named Paradine that was under Celia’nor. It was a lively wedding, citizens from Celia’nor, Norland and Vikela itself attended, it was a magical night of fun. A few years after that, we had our first biological daughter, Luthien Linde Viola De Astrea, and adopted a few others along the years, Orn, Thaedas, Fernando, and Raeliana, also having our youngest biological child, Loranzo Aerin Viola De Astrea who has just turned 4. Now then, you are probably wondering why I am telling you all of this, well it is simple actually, going forward today, my marriage with Aerin Sinan has ended, and he has left Vikela. We have been apart for many years now, even when we were still together, our relationship was not the same as our early days in Almaris. I am writing this letter so the people of Vikela know the current situation and not create rumors. To my friends, I am sorry I did not tell you all sooner, it was something I was and still am trying to heal from, and to my children, please do not feel hatred towards your father, he did his best even though he knew himself he was not cut out to be a father, he still loved you all, and if you do one day see him again, do not lash out. This is a topic I have been avoiding for a long time, only now finding the courage to speak up about, the reason I have decided to do so is that no awful rumor be made about my husband not being present. He has made his choice to leave and I will respect his choice, and I wish him health and luck wherever he may go. If you are reading this Aerin, I love you, you have given me 40 years of love and happiness, but I know now it was not meant to last. I hope we will one day meet again with no hard feelings, catch a drink and speak of our future experiences. Do not worry about our children, I will take care of them, please take care of your health. Goodbye Mon Cheri..My Cherry Blossom. With love, written by Medea Amaranta Taliame’onn Viola De Astrea, Lady Paramount of Vikela.

The Elf red through the missive before placing it down on her desk, going to her balcony, she lets out a sigh before looking down to her barony "You accused my people of housing evil beings without proof, threatened to hurt me and called her unclean, making us Vikelans suffer without reason, and in the end, it turns out that you are the corrupt ones..." Medea shook her head, looking up at the stars "Finally, justice we will receive...for all the suffering you put me and my people through.." A tear streamed down the elf's eye.

Medea smiled as she was excited for the upcoming event, a little fun will be good for everyone to relax their minds, she thought to herself before letting out a relief sigh, a someone bittersweet look rested on her face "All of my children are grown, oh how I miss watching them run around, and now my youngest daughter is all grown up and became a beautiful young lady, oh how time flies so fast, the world keeps moving like the wind keeps traveling." Medea said before picking up a family picture that shows her, her husband and all five of her beloved kids, "They will always be my pride and joy, the reason I keep myself going."

Primary Realm Color: Cyan Proposed Tiles (Highlight 3 on the map): Highland 9 Highland 10 Highland 8. Realm Lore (could include previous roleplay posts showing involvement with the community) (1000 words minimum): Lore posts: Ahiuw le fleuve Year One - Vikela - The Lord Of The Craft Ahiuw Le Fleuve Guide for Debutes [ Social Season] - Vikela - The Lord Of The Craft Decree of Dissolvement SA 112 - Vikela - The Lord Of The Craft Vikela's history is a remarkable story of resilience and rebirth, showcasing the unyielding spirit of its people. Rising from the ashes of Elysiu, a city scarred by years of conflict and rebellion against Eugeo de Astrea's rule, the Vikelians joined forces with a shared determination to rebuild their world. Amidst the ruins and lingering fear, they forged enduring bonds, treating each other as a connected family, transcending racial and species boundaries. In this crucible, Vikela emerged as the unifying force, drawing from a rich tapestry of indigenous, ancient, and contemporary Wood Elf traditions to create something of immeasurable value. Communication thrived through their unique language, Silchian, preserving their integrity, faith, and values. But they didnt start there they had to endure trials of both external and internal wars within their wall such as the War of Wigs, the War of the West, the Malinor-Horde War, and the Orcish-Elysian War spanning from SA 62 to SA 83. The latter conflict stemmed from a tragic incident where an orc harmed a child, resulting in accusations of racism against Elysium. However, even with external adversaries, internal strife brewed between Elysium loyalists and Vikela rebels. Eugeo de Astrea's descendants, inspired by their mother Mwari "Deliah" Ishe, chose to stay and protect their people instead of fleeing, as their predecessors did. This difference in approach led to numerous disagreements and multiple failed coups of the Rebel warrior leader Leika. Finally, Vikela finally assumed control after Elysium fell to the siege by Azdrazi, orcs, and daemons, reducing the once-proud city to rubble. A fitting and final story end to what the Elysium council people did in their wake. As Vikela rebels rebuilt their home, they decided enough was enough. Amidst the wreckage, Vikela arose from the ashes and sorrow, determined to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. Following the fall of the city and the daunting task of reconstruction, a pivotal council meeting marked a turning point in Vikela's history. Inspired by the legacy of Deliah, the former Duchess. Leika and her council embraced their Abhrami heritage, uniting under the banner of "Vikela" to defend their cherished ideals. Guided by unwavering commitment and fortified by alliances with influential families like the Vanaris, Talimeonns, Starlings, Daafs, Odinsons, and Chaypaeres, Leika spearheaded Vikela's rebirth as a newly established settlement, keeping their past burned and vowing to never cross that line again. None wishing to be recalled as Elysium and the rule that followed. Making sure the first thing they did was recreate their army and establish a knight circle, Knight circles were an uncommon sight at first, having two knight leaders that commanded different aspects of vikela life, one for internal protection and one for external protection. Somehow, these opposite circles, both in color and value, worked together.The Ravens (Knight Circle) - Vikela - The Lord Of The Craft Vikela's line of succession, rooted in the De Astrea lineage, traditionally follows a matriarchal structure, but thats not always the case as both males and females have taken the mantle. In Vikelia, leadership is determined through a tanistry, where the Paramount seeks out all noble families, whether by blood or official titles, to identify the heir. Upon the identification of the heir, they are readied to assume the paramount position, thus ensuring the maintenance of a dynamic and inclusive system of governance that upholds the cherished ideals of the nation's founders. As a symbol of their status, the paramount is enlightened about the inner workings of the settlement and is presented with a gemstone butterfly to wear proudly, signifying their esteemed role. Vikela has witnessed a leadership transition twice since the passing of its original founders.Larissa's Reign was calm, having been raised and taught how to lead since she was very young by her mother, that's all she had ever known. Larissa did her best to hold the torch for her people after receiving the crown from her mother and always did what she felt was right. After the deep snake in the city, Larissa made a journey to speak with the King of Lurin to take refuge under his nation when the fall of the land came. After crossing over to Aevos, Mika had allowed her to build and settle under Lurin for the time being until Vikela would be ready to stand on its own again. After the passing of her mother, Larissa fell sick, having lost the ability to move forward and continue holding the torch for her people. Understanding that, she passed the torch to her elder sister, Medea Viola De Astrea, a daughter her mother adopted and a sister Larissa gained. And so, Medea's reign of Vikela began, the beginning of a new path, the start of a new era. It now rests in the capable hands of Medea Viola De Astrea, a proud leader and former soldier who dedicated her life to Vikela. Climbing the ranks over the years, she eventually ascended to the highest position, contributing significantly to the city's prosperity. Under her current rule, she unearthed naturally occurring gemstone deposits surrounding the city, which she generously allocated to blacksmiths and jewelers, thereby bolstering the local economy. Medea has also fostered alliances and friendships across Aevos, resulting in lucrative trade agreements and collaborations with merchants to promote Vikela's exquisite jewelry. Notable pieces have even found their way to foreign princesses, adorning necks and crowns with Vikela's craftsmanship. Medea did not shy away from the challenges of her predecessor's legacy during her reign as Paramount. Instead, she examined the foundations left by her sister's leadership and made it her mission to rebuild both the government and the lives of Vikela's people. Her goal was to create a more structured and improved way of life. Medea has proven herself to be a leader who lives up to her name in just six years since taking on the job of Paramount. Her devotion and dedication to the task at hand have demonstrated why she was given this opportunity in the first place. Realm Government Structure Explanation: The Crystal Court was founded on the idea that a great government could be formed by working together with the city's talents and its people. Within this governing body, every ministry has its own leadership, but there is no single person in command. Instead, decisions are reached collectively, and the Paramount has the ultimate authority to make the final decision. The court includes ministries like Arcanae, Knowledge, Health, Housing, Warfare, Justice, and Treasury, each with its own rank and sub-branches. They come together for meetings with the people, and council members can share their ideas. This establishes a quasi-oligarchic monarchy, where the Court can only be convened at the behest of the Paramount or a high-ranking ministry official. Government post: Gouvènman an Vikela - Vikela - The Lord Of The Craft Capital Builds (photos required): These pictures should show a theme of what to be expected, How does this settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing polity on the server? This barony bears individuals characterized by a desire to be rebellious. They engage in various interactions, ceaselessly attempting to find their own journey in this world. Comprising both outcasts and individuals from diverse backgrounds, including elves, humans, and various half-races, this group has come together with a common goal: that they do not fit right in another place. Facing unfair treatment, and lacking a true sense of belonging, these individuals have joined together in a collective effort to secure their well-being. The role-playing activities within this group adhere to customary role-playing conventions, yet incorporate a fusion of Creole and Wood Elf cultural elements. Remarkably dedicated participants persist in their shared role-playing endeavors despite the adversities they face, reflecting a commitment akin to that exhibited by any nation navigating the trials of existence. Within the boundaries of this narrative, the denizens of this realm are reputed into three various archetypes: luminous artisans, formidable warriors, and marginalized outcasts. These said characters have repeatedly fallen victim to repressive control, the unending pattern of authoritarian rule and subjugation has persistently ensnared the land, which then resulted in the said skilled artisans being imbued with a palpable feeling of weariness. To counter the said oppression in their own regard, they orchestrate a covert masterpiece of artistry, a rebellion concealed within the most exquisite jewelry. These bright artisans, master of their craft and the unsung heroes of their realm, have commenced their individual quests. These quests were either for the good of their land, or for their own gains. They harness their unrivaled expertise and knowledge to conjure jewelry of effulgent, enchanting charm, each gemstone concealing a subversive insignia, an emblem of insurrection against the yoke of tyranny that threatened their freedom directly. With these jewelry equipped in their arsenal, they aspire to kindle a spark of freedom, to transform their exquisite creations into the emblematic standard of resistance against the oppressive machinations of tyrannical regimes. Amongst the realm's masterful artisans, alongside the gallant warriors of this barony, there beats the same fervent passion for freedom. Witness the Crimson Raven Corps' Soaring Faith, a sacred creed followed by half of this barony's knights, steadfast in their belief that freedom is an inviolable birthright, never to be relinquished. "May our feathers rival the night, so that they may appreciate the light." Apart from desire for freedom, this realms' people have a desire to be level grounded and respectful. Accepting of all, witness the Len'velulae Knights, a knight group of sacred creed that is diligently upheld by the other esteemed knights of this barony. Behold the indomitable spirit of perseverance, unyielding determination, and an unwavering embrace of fellow beings. "Thrown to pieces cast to the wind, from ashes we ascend" In this complexly crafted fabric of a universe, courageous adventurers and narrators of bold stories alike are invited to fully engage themselves in this narrative. The platform is prepared for a captivating gathering of mystery, creativity, and the unwavering fight for freedom.

Medea would be in her office when her owl flew through her open window with the letter. She placed down her work before taking the letter and reading it. A sour look rested on her face before she smiled. Standing up, she turned to her window and looked out at her barony below, "And so the chaos begins."
