The Garden of San Adriano Garden Picnic and Party [26th April, 3pm EST] In just over a year, House Temesch has been welcomed into the ranks of Balian’s peerage. Its citizens have opened their arms and ushered in our youth into positions of military, court and trade. We have been welcomed into social circles, and friends have been made in earnest. With our fealty now sworn and our keep finally constructed, House Temesch would like to formally invite the citizens of Balian to visit the Viscounty of San Adriano, and indulge in its beautiful views and tranquil surroundings. A picnic set with food and beverages will be set for attendees to enjoy as they get to know their new neighbors. Archery will be available at the front of the keep for those interested in taking part. All of Balians citizens, noble or common folk, are invited to attend the gathering. Signed, Her Ladyship, Cosima Victoria Temesch Heir to the Viscounty of San Adriano, Levyman of the Regiment of ST. Lothar His Lordship, August Benedict Temesch Watcher of the Order of ST. Lothar, Militia of the Regiment of ST. Lothar

"I am so proud of you," Cosima commented to her brother as the missive made its way to the Vicounty itself. She ushered her brother into the library and up into her study- and pulled out a bottle of wine to share.

Let's see. Skills? Yes and no. I'd love to see them, use them, but not to have them as the only option. Not everyone likes them or wishes to use them, so having them as an addition to say, Surge or editing items would be nice. Alchemy? Yes- but also the same as above. Magic? No thanks. Personally I don't see the need for medical. Skipping Wonks. Camps I haven't played with yet, but I'll always vote yes to more camp stuff.

"This is dangerous to my wallet," Cosima whined as she passed a missive set within the Haenseti capital.

The author wasn't sure how she had added TWO extra letters to the name- perhaps she could blame one of her younger siblings. That's what they are there for, right?

The markets of Portoregne have remained the same since the arrival of the descendents to Aevos and, were in my opinion, in dire need of a change. Many were left empty or lacking which left for Portoregne’s shopping experience to fall short. Now, it seems, with some hard graft from its citizens, these stalls appear to be on the rise. A third of the marketplace has been redesigned- with a new lease of life breathed into it. Gone are the clunky displays and in their place, elegant structures with vibrant hues decorating their canopies sit ready for the taking. It seems to have worked-! There are four entirely new businesses open for trade! What will you find on your next visit, I wonder? 𝚆𝙰𝙽𝚃𝙴𝙳! 𝙸𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝙰𝚕𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚐 The office of the Legate is once again hiring.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓗𝓾𝓷𝓰𝓻𝔂 𝓗𝓲𝓹𝓹𝓸 Situated along the canals, Portoregne’s tavern- manned by Achillius- offers a central place for revelry and celebration. With beverages provided by the local peer households, you can be sure to experience a flavor of Balian whenever you visit. It is often host to meetings, lessons, performances and more. And with the promise of companionship in the form of Balian’s most loved mammals, the Hippo’s, there is never a dull moment. A bloat of hippos are often found playing within the canal, entertaining passers-by 𝕄𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕒𝕔𝕣𝕖 𝕒𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕠𝕝𝕕 A prayer for our brave citizens. Within the early hours of the morning, residents of Portoregne and veterans of the Balian nation began to report a peculiar scent- a smell both unlike any other and yet something unmistakable. Baked goods but- there was something off. Those who ventured along the roads called attention to several wagons which were making their way to St’ Lothar’s fort. One reported that the caravan was filled with hay- just what was happening down there? Suspicion rose, and the people of Balian began to convene and rally in preparation for something. Murders of crows squaked and called- crying out over the otherwise blissful blue skies of the south. Many sought shelter within their homes and keeps. Those brave enough ventured to these meetings, clad in plate and with weapons at the ready. And then it began. An assault upon the keep of St’ Lothar. Balian attacked the creatures which threatened their home and their safety. --------------------------------------- The keep was taken- its gate smoldering to the ground. A battle which lasted for Saints Hours tore both the keep and the Balianese ashred, and many countrymen were lost to the attackers. The Watchman. A creature of foul origins; a scarecrow which commanded the attack upon the keep with its vile minions was rendered unconscious by Dame Gwenyth Vuiller, and is currently awaiting a trial to decide its fate. --------------------------------------- We extend a prayer to all who were lost to the battle. May you each reach the Seven Skies and join your loved ones in peace. Equally, we offer thanks and honors to Dame Gwenyth for her capture of the creature, and to any of those who fought alongside. 𝓞𝓬𝓮𝓪𝓷'𝓼 𝓖𝓲𝓯𝓽 𝓜𝓪𝓼𝓺𝓾𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓭𝓮 In only one more Saint’s day- the masquerade of the season is to be held at the Palace. The coming of adulthood for Balian’s youngest royal children- Her Highness Ophelia and His Highness Elianos. The celebration is set to be held within the Palace’s private beach- with the promise of dancing, food and games to celebrate the gifts of the south. Fresh seafood and locally made wines will be on offer, with fruit cocktails for the younger attendees. Residents of Balian are welcome to join- they are asked to ensure their attire is suited for the heat and the sands, and reminded to bring a mask! Citizens are encouraged to reach out to Cosima Victoria Temesch should they wish their stories or business be featured within the next release of the tabloid.

A young heiress began the task of packing away all her books into safe keeping. "So much uncertainty to come," she spoke to her slowly emptying room.

Elianos was going to do his best to ensure he didn't miss a chance to party on the boat he had bought. It truly was a splendid boat. He had found a very skilled builder!

"Damn," cursed the Balian Prince. "This looked as though it would have been entertaining."

Elianos frantically collected together all his fancy outfits- seeking out the best one for the event. "I've so much to make and prepare," the young prince faffed as he sent attendants of the Palace here and there. Collecting flowers, beads- all sorts! "This has to be special for her."

The dead mother is, in fact, very proud.
