Don’t want them to shelter with us again, +1. @ibraheemc2000 Give them a slot, one of the most active and persistent communities on the server. The system of activity check I understand but it limits players and makes them tend to stay in their nation rather then explore the server.

The young man holds out a piece of paper, “Sir, I have news from the naval yards the ships have finished.” Joseph offers a nod as he takes the paper. “Thank you soldier, your dismissed.” Joseph tosses the paper down, walking to his window. ‘An Ironclad has just rolled off the docks in Virginia these wooden ships aren’t enough,’ he thinks to himself.

A new bill proposed by the recently formed New England party that hopes to lift the tariffs on European goods as been blocked by the commonwealth party which makes up a majority.

The aged Rhys grumbles, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” The young prince Marius raises an eyebrow at the news. “This is something I might look into,” he would start to pen a letter to hos father.

An old crow smiles from the seven skies

Rhys var Ruthern watches over the ruins of Last Hope, waiting to hear word from Brog about further expedition over the wall. “It was to easy, now the Vaeyl still hide on the other side of the wall, but we’ll come for them they can’t hide from us.” Rhys turns away from the ruins making his way make to the now almost empty Crows Nest to await Brog. Prince Marius sits in the palace, digging through some old chests looking for his favorite book, the ‘Tales of King Andrew’. His hands brushes something hard and metal, “Whats this?” Marius slowly lifts the heavy object from the chest. Its a bronze Waraxe, it looked very old and hasn’t been touched in years. Not wanting his mother to take it away, Marius locks the chest and has his servants slides it into his room.
