Helvetius

Ser alexander scratches his head, remembering giving the posters to the ones fleeing in which they ran out the back before blacking out after roaming around inside for awhile.

Ser Alexander had managed to escape the massacre to the Keep as had several others before splitting away.

The Gambinos are now wanted for crashing a wedding, killing guests, killing Lords and Knights, and disrupting the peace. Any assistance and known accomplices will now be killed on sight. - Ser Alexander Helvetius

Come to the wedding of Ser Alexander Helvetius and Sabrina Adaar located in Darkwood! All are welcome to see this glorious event.

((3PM EST (8PM GMT)))

Helvetius Grumbles, "Alright."

Ser Alexander Helvetius scratches his chin as he looks toward the commotion in front of the poster before smiling warmly, "I need to find clothing suitable for our wedding!"

Helvetius frowns thinking out loud, "The Gloop family and Sermoure Graeme owned the majority of the NOC, this is odd..."

School;Life. July is break for many people.

Helvians

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2tDbEwTqnQ

Over one hundred years ago a society was built on the outskirts of dwarven lands. Barbaric in nature this society was quickly laid to waste for its destructive nature in the lands of Anthos. When the leader Lacedaemon fell the remnants scattered and slowly integrated into normal human society. For the most part the families forgot their ancestral history except for a few and these few continued to practice their ancestral customs. Now these families are coming together again to reform the society.

Culture & Tradition

The Helvian's Society is built upon war. Its people thrive on war for its glory, honor, and power giving nature to man as war distinguishes the powerful among the weak. Many mundane parts of life such as farming or cooking are commonly given to servants, slaves, women, or the old as it isn't common for a man of fifty-five or above to be in battle. And yet many young experience harsh beginnings of life at the age of seven. Pain from lashing, schooling, and tradition are beaten into these children up until the age of fourteen.

 

At the age of fourteen each child is  taken by a trainer to learn combat, survival both in the wilderness and cities, and murder. Upon the age of sixteen they begin to learn formations and further arts of combat until the age of eighteen. For the final test of their youths they are thrown out into the wild and if they return after several months alive this boy will be considered a Helvian.

 

Yet that is for a natural born Helvian from a Helvian mother. During the past many foreign folk wished to fight beside the society and were declined, being viewed as weak. For the foreigners that proved their skill with combat, their status granted was a Perioeci. Not a slave, yet not Helvian. The idea of these outsiders being greater warriors than themselves was absurd and yet even then a man of prowess in combat was able to gain the status of Helvian. The status of Helvian to the people was one of a man or woman who upheld Helvian tradition and culture, and the thrill of combat, higher than anything else in their close-knit society.

 

Slaves were the lowest form in Helvian society and in human terms yet Helvians thrived on them. Slaves worked their farms, their kitchens, their smiths. Slaves were the front-line casualties yet sometimes a slave could also prove himself in the Helvian society by surviving. How did the Helvians get slaves? Raids, slaving travelers, and war.

 

The Helvian form of government, at this current time, is simply the Head and council of two. The council is chosen through fights amongst the strongest and wisest of Helvians. As for raids, the man who leads a raid is the man who is most respected among the Helvian warriors which may not be the Head.

A corpse burned beyond recognition is left in an alleyway of Felsen with a note tagged onto it, "For your poor attempt at savior."

Shrugging, "We will kidnap a noble next then if they don't care about this man. Perhaps we will torture said noble before even allowing a ransom."

~Civilian Ransom Poster~

Name: Araloth Malagor; Race: Human

Ransom: 300 minas; Citizen of Felsen

Two elven days to pay this ransom to the Underworld or there will be a corpse at Felsen's gate.

-The Underworld-

~The Criminal Merge~

In the slums of Adria criminals the meeting is held. Criminal gang leaders such as from the Bread Bandits, Nameless, Underworld, Risen Kings, and others enter to sit at a large round wooden table with bandits watching the alleyway to keep the meeting secure. Yet such a meeting like this can't go unnoticed by its sheer size and notorious individuals attending. Word does get out and the words spoken are that all of the gangs have merged in The Underworld. Not lead by one man, yet not a council as observant folks estimate this means the criminal organization numbers at over two-hundred and seventy criminals. This is the largest criminal organization that has been formed in the recent centuries and the crimes have begun.

Catching wind of this gang the Deceiver, who sits in his darkened hideout, smiles. "Looking to make me a corpse so that you may become the most powerful criminals and yet you have already become an unwilling tool for me. Before you had formed, I had already won."
