Léon Stéphane D'Montelliano Delatour D'Airelle de' Drăghicescu, Titular Lord of Bravuna and husband to the beloved Mariya de' Drăghicescu read over the missive with a perked brow. He'd then let out a small chuckle as he continued to read over the paper, the words bringing him some amusement. He'd then go to shake his head a few times, extending his hand out to offer the paper towards his wife, Mariya. "Quite scandalous, right my love?... First of all, I don't know why anyone would think we acted in secret, after all we did meet in a public tavern whilst it was filled with people. Furthermore, I would assume one wouldn't go around spreading false rumors because they just saw something- did they even hear what we were talking about? My heavens..." And with that, he allowed for his wife to read what was going on. "We should send word to the others, let us tell them about this"

The Hummingbird Druid slammed down his hammer as he flattened and shaped a new blade, forging a simple sword upon his private forge. Though, as nature's sweet melody came to a halt and shifted to something much more gloomy, he noticed that another Druid as fallen. He stopped his work as he placed down the hammer, lifting his gaze from the forge as he stared off to the side "Has another Druid already fallen so soon?... My Aspects, what is going on, why must there always be such sadness in these times..." And with that, he continued his work, not fully understanding who passed until he received a swift letter via messenger dove. He'd take the letter from the dove before unrolling and looking over it. After a brief pause, he let out a gasp "N-No... I-It can't be true, n-no... W-Why... Why must it always be one of the good ones..." He'd lower his head at that, his eyes filling with tears as they streamed down his face. "B-Blessed be, Sister Ferret... M-May the Mani and Aspects guide you to the next realm and may Syllia see you once more- Please keep her company..."

The Hummingbird Druid lifted his head to gaze up at the sky, narrowing his eyes as he watched for a moment before looking down to the ground. He'd let out a heavy sigh "Let me go find the others..." And with that, the Druid exited his home and left for his journey.

Suddenly, the Hummingbird Druid would have fell silent as the vision shot through his mind, enlightening him with the new duties entrusted upon the Druii. He'd offer a faint sigh as he lowered his head, setting his gaze down to the stone floor as he thought to himself for a few moments. "What the-... Lari-" The old Druid paused as he pressed his lips together; pursing them in an angry manner. "I don't have anyone to help me with this one, I guess I'm going all alone... Unless?- Should I try to contact them..." And with that, he went to exit his home and out into the Wilds, venturing out to find someone... "Syllia, please watch over me and guide me down the right path..."

Becclain O'Hara-Arvellon, also known as the Mali'tal Hummingbird Druid would have read over the missive swiftly, his eyes scanning across the paper as he lifted a brow in confusion. He'd appear to take a moment, pondering about the words written upon the paper as he let out a heavy sigh. "My Aspects- What the... Hrmm... I do believe this is enough- I won't stand for this anymore" He'd say before going to remove the paper from It's posted spot, crumbling it up in his hand as he tossed it away.

Léon Stéphane d'Airelle | Tribune-Candidate of the Duma ~ 359 ES ~ [!] This small painting pasted onto the missive would be of the d’Airelle family back in their lands of Arcas before the Inferi Invasion. Just near the bottom edge of the painting would be a small letter written in black colored ink and it would read: “I don’t remember all the details of my life back in Arcas since I was so young, but I do remember how we were all happy before being forced to flee our home. We immigrated to the city of Karosgrad in Almaris and formed a new life with the people we have met here, making our own name since all that we had was lost in the past. It has been a true blessing given from GOD to have found such great people here and I hope to work with you all for as long as I breathe. Sincerely, Léon d’Airelle~” To all the Citizens that dwell in the lands of Hanseti-Ruska, My name is Léon Stéphane d’Airelle, the first of my name and the youngest in my family to have enlisted into the HRA, the Haense Royal Army. I write to you all in this missive to explain my life before coming to these lands, how my family once lived, how fleeing our home and coming here has impacted my life for the better, how I adjusted to this new lifestyle, and more importantly why you should vote for me in this upcoming election. Before I and my family fled the westernmost regions of Arcas that we resided in, we lived a simple and calming life. It was nothing of luxury or riches, but one of hard work and happiness. We grew up tending the small farmlands we kept beside our home, growing wheat and barley for the rest of our people. Even though I was not the one doing most of the manual labor in our home because of my young age, I do remember how rambunctious and energetic I was, so much so that I once trampled the crops when playing with my brother. I remember being called ‘Leo’ for short by the people in our small town, the meaning behind it being that I was too headstrong, energetic, and followed my instincts a little too much. Though, when It came down to it, people said it was a great quality for someone like me to have. I never gave up on tasks that frustrated me, I just worked harder towards completing them. Most of the people that lived there were of Auvergnian descent, a group of people who held strong values of loyalty and respect. Our old lifestyle was nothing compared to how you all lived here in the City of Karosgrad, but when we fled and first came here, immigrating and trying to find ourselves in these new lands posed to be a bit difficult. I’m not going to lie, we had a hard time adjusting and fitting in. We tried very hard to become normal in terms of this new culture that we actually began to lose ourselves and forget our own ancient roots. Our values and lifestyle were something we thought to be important no matter what, something we should keep instead of trying to discard in order to become ‘normal’. After we came to this big realization, the adjustment of being in Karosgrad began to become easier, it allowed for us to officially find ourselves and connect with all of you. Now we look back to the first time we ever stepped onto the stone streets of this city and all we could think about is how happy we are to have come here, glad that we were able to form so many new bonds and relationships with the people of Hanseti-Ruska. I would never think about reverting anything that we have done thus far and are proud to be considered citizens altogether. By far from the first time we arrived in the lands of Hanseti-Ruska and the City of Karosgrad, I and my family worked towards helping the Kingdom grow and prosper further. I found that my strong-minded and energetic nature would be of good use in the military and my other qualities for this position if I were to be elected. At first, I did not think myself fit to be someone holding a representative position, but as I grew and matured into the one I am today, I learned that I could be of good use here as well. The reason for this being that even though I am young for my age, I won’t let that define or hinder my abilities, further it allows for me to see the world purely for what it is and not through a filter that most adults see-through. I do believe my young age could be turned into a strength rather than a negative quality. My oldest sister and Matriarch of the d’Airelle family has taught me much since her gaining a seat as an Alderman at the Duma. She has taught me much about the values we should be holding, etcetera. As a Tribune, I wish to be strong and straightforward with my words, representing the people and their wishes. In addition, I will be someone who represents all the people dwelling in the lands of Hanseti-Ruska, all the races, and Descendants. No one will be excluded when and if I gain this position, I will fight for equal rights between everyone, including women who have been overlooked in the past. I will try to bring more representation for the people of other cultures or people of the cultural arts, allowing for them to feel known and present in our lands instead of being outcast and having the looming feeling to conform to the current societal norms. I do hope you all see me as a notable candidate for the Tribune and give me the opportunity to represent you all. Thank you all for reading this and I hope to see you all in the coming debate- Signed, Tribune Candidate - Léon Stéphane d’Airelle

[!]Some ladies of court in the gardens[!] The Duchy of Bravuna ~ The Bravunian People ~ - Introduction - The people of Bravuna are a rather eccentric and uncommon people in the eyes of other settlements. They are people who strongly value the cultural arts, naturalism or preservation of nature, and their own faith; the Cannonist Religion. Throughout the years since the beginning of their culture, they have flourished and grew upon their teachings of freedom and expression of oneself. They represent not as much strength since they were not created around the displeasing period of warfare or combat but instead presenting to others the creative and colorful way of life they have refined upon their lands. The Bruvanian’s are all-around artistic and educated individuals with their lifestyle emulating their strong sense of freedom, artistic expression, and pacifism. And so, the lands that the Bruvanian people settled upon are rather colorful and vibrant places, constructed around beautiful gardens and filled with areas of music and art. - The Origins - [The Historical Events] Once more the Bruvanian people have a deep-rooted history alongside other cultures in the world with racial and cultural diffusion to be the main cause of this newfound peace. The two most notable figures that contributed to the construction and founding of the lands are Mariya Sofia of house Drăghicescu and Léon Stéphane of house D’Airelle. The noble house of Drăghicescu dates back all the way to the split of the Horen Royal Houses, being a household that has mainly married into nobility or higher status. Namely known for the marriage between the daughter of house Drăghicescu and the son of house Vilacz. Furthermore, the most recent marriage arrangement has been set for a son of house D’Airelle and a daughter of house Drăghicescu, both of which will later go on to establish the monarchical bloodline of the Holy State of Bravuna. With the union of these two prestigious households and later on many more, the current people of Bravuna would be a mixture of Auvagarian, Illatian, and Trotani. During the arrival upon the lands of Almaris, the house of D’Airelle was broken and mourning for the loss of their parents during the Inferi Scourge on the past lands of Arcas. This Auvagarian family had nowhere to go on these new lands, they were no one of importance and had little recognition, to begin with. However, one of the eldest sisters decided to take up the role of Matriarch of the family and filled only with hope for the future and survival of their family. After some time of traveling between the new lands, they learned of the Nation of Haense and the Kingdom of Karosgrad. This family then believed that moving to Haense was the best option for them, the same would be for the house of Drăghicescu, though the history and start of that family are rather unknown to this day. Nonetheless, once the D’Airelle family arrived and established themselves in the settlement of Karosgrad, they all began working on their name and striving towards a goal of recognition. To this day the D’Airelle family has continued to better their name and enrich their history, while the youngest son and his betrothed friend work towards their very own idea. . . - Religion - [Marriage and Divorce] The people of Bravuna follow the Canonist Faith, this religion being one very well known amongst the human nations and settlements. The followers of the Canonist Faith believe that the Holy Scrolls hold the truth of life in the realm of the living and then the seven skies, along with the belief of the one true GOD- The Creator. The Bravunian’s typically follow the laws and beliefs that are pushed on by the Church of Canon. - Military and Warfare - [The Phoenix Order] The military force of Bravuna known as the Phoenix Order protects the entirety of Its own lands and those of the allied vessels if they call upon them. It’s often seen that the military forces are led by two high up figures, the Duke and the Lord/Lady Commander that commands, prepares, and utilizes the members. In addition, the two leaders are to be assisted by a circle or council of other high ranking officers and advisors of the military. The enlisted and chosen officers and advisors of the Phoenix Order can be of any gender and of any race, that being said, the State of Bravuna is a place that allows both men and women, humans and elves, to join in the military activities. Normally the members of the Phoenix Order are trained to be efficient in swordsmanship, however, over the years the focus has shifted away from such limiting standards to something more freeing and unique. They have begun to learn many other advanced skills that may be passed along to the next few generations of recruits, for example, archery or the usage of other long-ranged weaponry, polearms usage, and the use of inventions that allow for the military to protect the people of Bravuna. Another few important skills commonly taught amongst the ranks are, horseback riding and spear throwing while mounted on their mighty steeds. These skills are to be taught with many more than compliments and builds upon each other, allowing for these riders to be recognized as a few of the best in the lands. The armor of the military is one of the few things that separates these unique warriors from those of other nations because of the uncommon yet elegant appearance of most sets. These armor sets are forged with a common yet strong metal, while the surface would be engraved with various markings and symbols as to be the story of each warrior. In addition, thick leather and furs are often placed on top of the armor to help them withstand the cold climates, the unpredictable weather, and even save them from fatal blows in combat. However, It must be said again that the Bruvanian people are not supporters of warfare or aimless combat unless It must be done to protect the peace and harmony of their lands. You won’t see members of the Phoenix Order causing foreign problems or flaunting their position in the military to implant fear in those and they would never attack unready or innocent people as they follow a strict code of honor. Nonetheless, the State of Bravuna has begun negotiating with many neighboring settlements to establish alliances with them, all for maintaining peace and order while allowing for the lands to flourish and grow further. - The State Government - [Government under Bravunian Rule] Currently, The State of Bravuna is ruled over by ducal monarchs, the duke and duchess of Bravuna, a Holy Governor to keep the religious peace, and a sect of councilors to help each department or seat of city affairs and foreign affairs. The man or woman who runs the different seats are called masters which are chosen by the duke and duchess, then the Seat masters may hire others of the state such as the common Bruvanian People or even the royals/nobles to help them in their seats. Meetings are seen to be hosted every week or so to discuss assignments and such. The Seat of the Holy Governor - The seat of the Holy Governor is a seat newly made to give the church special privileges within the state of Bravuna. The Grand-Seat of the Arch-Chancellor - The Grand-Seat of the Arch-Chancellor is the seat that serves under the Arch-Chancellor, the Arch-Chancellor is a position given to the most loyal person to the Duchess and Duke, having a rule over all the other Seats, making sure every seat has complete order and all work well with one another. The Seat Of Educational and Cultural Affairs - The Seat of Educational and Cultural Affairs is the seat that serves under the master of education and culture, this master and his team of coworkers are tasked with teaching those young ones and others of the city, along with this they are tasked with running the state's academy. They are also there to keep the peace between the state's diverse cultural preferences. The Seat Of Coin and Internal Affairs - The Seat of Coin and Internal Affairs is the seat that serves under the ruling of the Master of Coin and Internal Affairs, the responsibility of this master is to see that all taxes are collected from the citizens that live within the state, they are also taken with the responsibilities of a common treasurer and steward, for example keeping the money of the city collected and organized, and along with giving out homes to new citizens. The Seat Of Defensive Affairs - The Seat of Defensive Affairs is the seat that serves under the ruling of the master of Defensive Affairs, usually seen to be the duke and one other military official the two and their hired co-workers are tasked with keeping the military stable and function properly, to protect the state, and finally uphold the laws of the state completely enforcing them. The Seat Of Foreign Affairs - The Seat of Foreign Affairs is the seat that serves under the ruling of the Master of Foreign Affairs, this master is tasked with keeping the peace between each nation that lives upon the realm, such as writing letters to other leaders to gain alliances. The Seat Of Arcane Affairs - The Seat of Arcane Affairs is the seat that serves under the ruling of a master of any magic. This seat was created for a master of the state to help protect the state and its people from the harm of dark entities and dark magic users. The seat master is also tasked with keeping up with the magical license of the magi who enter the state, and the laws of Arcane affairs. The Seat Of Healthcare - The Seat of Healthcare is the seat that serves under the ruling of the Grand-Practitioner, who handles all the things medical and health-related such as having combat medics for future battles or having general doctors to work the clinic for the future sick and injured. The Seat of Intelligence - The seat of Intelligence is the seat that serves under the master of whispers who is tasked with collecting people to go to other nations and move around the State of the people to find if anyone is against the state or planning to do anything that will jeopardize the peace of the state. - The State Architecture - [The Artistic Architecture of Bravuna] The Holy State of Bravuna’s architecture is mainly influenced by the diverse cultures and arts that came from the Auvagarian, Illatian, and Trotani people of the past. As time went on and the people of Bravuna grew in numbers and diversity, so did their cultures and lifestyles. It soon became apparent that they would go on to live a free and unified life and that the cultural arts were a way for them to express that. The architecture was developed to represent a lot about its people, the large and colorful structures being built in a way that did not bring harm to the existing nature of the terrain around it and instead of using it to create a distinctive and special ecosystem between the citizens and nature itself. For example, some settlements and nations would destroy the beautiful flora growing upon their lands to allow for expansion, however, the Bruvanians preferred to construct elegant gardens and parks around them. Along with this, the walls of Bravuna were created at a great height to stop intruders from entering their lands unannounced and to make the people feel more comfortable. And, while the walls appear to be rather basic in design apart from the magnificent height or thickness, the interior of the walls are littered with murals or art pieces from the people. - State Economy - [The Poverty and Wealth of Bravuna] The economy of the Holy State is primarily based on the trade agreements with other nations and settlements that are placed outside of the Bruvanian borders. The State usually trades many personally crafted items such as paintings, sculptures, instruments, weapons, clothes, and even alcohol. What’s more, the Holy State of Bravuna has even begun using the large body of water they are connected to for more sea travel and sea-related trade, adding specially made and refined ships, aquatics plants, and much more to their trade. - Magic Around of Bravuna - [The Vision of Magic] Even though the practice and utilization of magic are not exactly well-known amongst the Bruvanian people, It’s often seen as a fascinating and beautiful art while for others, a sinful and evil practice that goes against their religion. Nonetheless, whatever may be their opinion, the use of magic is allowed in the Holy State of Bravuna. The immediate construction of the Seat of Arcane Affairs came with numerous restrictions and guidelines that protect the people, and even those who use such arts. Furthermore, most forms of magic are legalized and allowed to be used within the walls of Bravuna, including voidal forms, some deific forms, and forms that don't fall under the Dark Arts. While this is the case, voidal forms are the most prominent ones and are often seen as the most liked and preferred form of magic within the lands of Bravuna. However, while magic is popular and mostly legalized, the Dark Arts are still seen as dangerous and impure, forbidding such mages the entry to the State as a whole. With the constant advancements and achievements in the lands of Bravuna, one of the most unique and uncommon sights is the normalization of magic. In other settlements upon Almaris, magic has always been a taboo or sore subject, though that is not the case for the people of Bravuna. The oversight of tolerant Monarchs and Nobles allowed for Mages to use their magic for the betterment of the State. Many users of the Arcane Arts were allowed to assist in the military and overall protection of the State while others created inventions or items to help their way of life.

The Hummingbird Druid began to feel the eerie pain of a fellow druid leaving this Realm and moving onto the next. His eyes filled with sadness as his brows creased, lips quivered, and head lowered. The feeling of a druid leaving this plane and heading onto the next, the Eternal Forest was no strange feeling to him. His head filled with few memories of others that have passed, his eyes welling up with tears before he shook his head. "N-No more crying. . . Hmm . . . I-I should go and try to find my Lari'onn. . . How is she doing now that he is gone for good?" And with that, he moved his sleeve to wipe away the tears forming in his eyes and swiftly moved off with no other word. He'd quickly make his way towards the Arvellon Seed Hall, seeking out Renae. A few words escaping from between his lips "Let the Aspects protect us and Guide us through these rough times. . ."

Okayy!! We love some fresh and detailed bird lore and especially something as cool as Bokolo’s.

[!] The Hummingbird Druid called for a fast messenger dove to deliver his letter to the caravan. It would read: "Greetings, Brother Aaliyah~ I would love to accompany you back to your lands, to help protect you from any possibly harm that threatens you on your journey back. It's been sometime since I have last adventured but, I'm still in good shape and prepared to go on another journey with others. I'm very skilled with a bow and close-ranged weaponry, I'm also an advanced combat medic and growing Druid, I believe all my abilities could come in handy. Please reach out to me if you are willing to have me, Becclain Arvellon, the Hummingbird Druid~"

The Hummingbird Druid suddenly came to a stop at the entrance of the Seed Hall in the Glade of Siramenor, his mind began to fill with unease, sadness, and then anger. The melody of nature around him slowly dwindling down as it became silent, nature began mourning for a fallen Druid... Becclain would have felt a strong pain as he dropped to the floor, falling to a knee as his druidic stave landed beside him. He'd mutter a few words to himself "W-What's h-happening?... D-Did someone-..." He'd quickly fall silent as well before his eyes began welling up with tears. His expression shifted to something of great sadness as tears streamed down his face and fell to the wooden floor "N-No... No, no, no, It can't be!... N-No!..." He'd cry out as he moved his left hand to take hold of his stomach, clenching it a bit as he fell forward onto the ground, laying there as he wept. After quite sometime, the young Druid gathered himself as he pulled his form off of the Seed Hall's floor, going to sit upon the wilted tree inside of the structure. He'd drop himself with a loud thud as he continued to cry, his gaze fixed upon the wall in front of him as he appeared to be deep in his own memories. A few more words escaped from between his lips as he spoke in a rather shaky and uncertain tone "W-Why did you have to leave us... I-I know I shouldn't be selfish, but I needed you... W-We... We all needed you..." With another long pause, a Karin cat would have came dashing in, a letter held In It's mouth as It offered such to Becclain. With hesitation, he reached out and took the letter, looking to the cat with a nod of his head. He'd then open up the letter as he began reading it, his eyes filling with more tears as they obstructed his view of the words. "L-Lari'onn... I-I'm glad we all met and connected that day, you are all the best family I could ever wish for... D-Don't worry, I'll watch over you children with the other Ducklings... M-Maybe one day... One day we could meet again, I don't think I have much energy left myself.." He'd say with a raspy cough right after, quickly moving his hand to wipe his mouth and then tears. He'd just sit there, staring down at the letter before saying his last words to Syllia "A-Always and Forever, Dearest Lari'onn..."

Noice~
