News travelled across the realm of Louis death. The news had finally reached the war-torn nation of Balian. "Louis is dead?" The Balianese Knight slammed his fist upon his desk. "First Owyn, now Louis? How many more do we need to lose." He clinched his fist even harder before reaching for a bottle nearby, he popped the cork and began to take large swigs. "For the de Savoies. My friends, I pray you rest in peace. I will honour you somehow..." He shook his head and wiped his mouth of the alcohol that laid just upon his upper lip before closing the bottle back up.

Aurellius Greye lays motionless in the Balian clinic bed. He was already missing an entire left leg and has trouble getting around the city with his homemade wooden crutch. He would now have even more trouble as he did not have the left hand to support himself on the crutch.

Aurellius would set his eyes on the Azhl ingot, casting the first bid. "1500 mina!"

“AVE BALIAN! LONG LIVE THE RIGHTFUL KING AND QUEEN! We will net allow them to break our spirit! I will protect Balian and its people until the end!” The Balianese Knight held up a fist as he finished signing the missive. “UNITED WE STAND!”

Aurellius Greye read the missive as he spoke with a fellow comrade and friend, Owyn. He let out a good laugh. “I am net too worried Owyn. I’m sure soon enough they will be sick of him and release him back. If we do net see him soon we will go get him ourselves.” @Navigator

Aurellius Greye was very honoured to be personally invited to the Royal Investiture. He was a little sad as his name was misspelled, but honoured nonetheless... and then he wasn't as somehow the missive suddenly changed within his hands, fixing his name entirely. He smiled graciously.

Salvatore was distraught from his father’s passing. Family is everything to him so losing his father really hurt him. “Pa… I will make sure I take care of the family for you…”

Drekkar stood silently over the lifeless corpse of the elf. He allowed a moment of silence to respect the battle they just had. The Dwed was injured, a stab in his shoulder and a gash in his forearm but he was the one who stood victorious. After that moment of silence, Drekkar took whatever was left on the elf’s body, leaving the corpse to rot on the stone path leading to Haelun’or.

beautiful. saw myself for a good 5 seconds. you get an upvote for that

Aurellius Greye was quite surprised as he read through the missive. “You may misbehave sometimes but I am proud that you took initiative as a leader and also as King of Beelian. One day you will replace me and lead House Greye… I can net wait to see you reach your full potential.” He mused as a smile formed upon his face. He knew his son understood the risks and dangers and he was happy that he was putting the citizens of Balian first.

Sir Aurellius Greye happily read over the invitation intended for himself and his family. "The new generation of children in Balian is growing fast... the years pass with each blink of an eye. I'm happy to see how much you've grown young Miguel." He then pinned this personal invitation above his study with the growing list of personal invitations he's received.

"A personal invitation? I am quite honoured." Aurellius Greye would pin this on his wall in his study alongside the personal invitation he recieved from the Prince.

Aurellius Greye would be patrolling the lands of Balian. He came to a clearing and dismounted from his steed before he saw a missive. The paper would be torn at the edges. “Hmm… to grant a man death is to grant a man freedom… if I ever cross paths with this person, I will make sure it is swift, and painless…“ He then got back on his steed as he placed the missive in his pocket and rode off to complete his patrol.

“After all we’ve done for Alba. After how kind we’ve been to them and their citizens… we came to their aid when they requested on multiple occasions.” Aurellius, Athanator and Ser, shook his head as he read the missive, he did not approve of Albas actions. “The King is too kind with these measures… I shall prepare the Regiment for the future to come…”

My friends and I have explored the cave long before it was recently updated. IRP we figured we should go check out the cave as we've heard from someone IRP that it could be a darkspawn lair. We had gone to check it out and we ended up running into something completely new to us compared to the first time we've ever explored these caves. My friends and I were quite invested in what we found and it had a storyline connected to it as well! We explored and soon were able to connect the dots as it didn't seem like a confusing plot to the storyline. We had to leave soon after we found some items that we took IRP. Fast forward to the next day, my character approaches a few of the ppl who came with him to explore that cave and decided we should check it out for more clues. We'd end up going back to check it out and Bacardi would be invisible within the tunnels. Once we reached a certain area (Don't want to spoil what the area is in case anyone hasn't seen it yet.) Bacardi decided they were going to RP an interaction with us! We would end up fighting a darkspawn that was Barcardi and it was a very pleasant interaction. After we killed the darkspawn, bacardi made it so what we found on the darkspawn would contribute to the plot of the storyline. I would talk about it oocly to my friends who were there irp as I was very excited to see what would happen when it gets expanded or added on to if ever! Bacardi is a nice person and I'm very thankful for the work they've done in the caves and their storyline. Hoping some day Bacardi might be able to finish it. My friends also agree and think that the storyline and the build up to it was very interesting. THANK YOU BACARDI!

Aurellius Greye would pin this personal invitation just above his desk in his study. "My has time passed... the Prince is growing to become a great man, just like his father, but a man of his own." He would then call his children over to let them know of the Prince personally inviting them all.

“I’ve raised you right Aurus.” Aurellius said with a smile as he read his son’s missive. “You will make to be a great King of Beelian and perhaps, of some Kingdom in the future.”

Aurellius Greye would take hold of the invitation and smile. "About time Navalic." He chuckled before calling all his Greye children over. "Seems your Uncle Navalic would like us to attend his wedding, one of his 15 minute adventures I'd say..." He would tell an inside joke Aurellius and Navalic had.

Once Aurellius and the two Savoyards made their way back to Balian. He would sit down with the two in the Tavern and get their recollection of what happened. "I know you won't need it, but if ever you need an escort to another nation, do let me know..." The young Savoyards would wave off his comment, knowing damn well after what just went down they don't need any protection.

Aurellius Greye, whom was there at the tail end of the brawl. Showed up at the gates of Numendil and would spot the two young Savoyards. Once he found out what had happened from the two, he'd laugh. "I'd never show my face again if I lost to two kids!"
