Holy shit tales of alera finally dropped

"no." Said a Canonist King

I can knot believe it.

The gaze of the Harrenite King is cast towards the north, as the battle and disheveled Crown and Radiant Star rises above the Savoyard ramparts. Vengeance of his Kingdom, he swore, e're the world's ending...

Owyn was a farfolk.

Farewell to Barrowton 127th year of the Second Age Joy and mirth filled the air of Barrowton a final time as the concert began in the ruins of Juli’el’s Temple of the Burning Bush, a building which, despite its ruined nature, had seen constant use ever since the founding of the Kingdom of the Barrowlands. One last time, the pious Barrowlanders gathered about their Cardinal Antonius for a sermon unlike any other. Guitar in hand, and flanked by his bandmates, the Hyspian priest began to sing… [MUSIC] De signs are all around us, we're living en de end times De world es getting darker, et's harder to keep strong en mind Pero we know that our God es faithful, He'll be with us to de end Y even en de chaos, we can trust en Him again et's de end of Almaris as we know it Pero we'll be just fine, with DIOs by our side et's de end of Barrowton as we know it Pero we'll be just fine, with DIOs by our side There's wars y rumors of wars, y nations rising up The earth es groaning for redemption, y we're waiting for that day to come But en de midst of all de turmoil, we can have peace within For our hope is en de One who saves, y en His victory we'll win et's de end of Almaris as we know it Pero we'll be just fine, with DIOs by our side et's de end of Barrowton as we know it Pero we'll be just fine, with DIOs by our side So let us stand firm en our faith, y let our love abound For de end es just de beginning, of de glory that we've found Y though Almaris may shake us, we will not be doomed For we know that our God es with us, y His truth will see us through et's de end of Almaris as we know it Pero we'll be just fine, with DIOs by our side et's de end of Barrowton as we know it Pero we'll be just fine, with DIOs by our side As the singing concluded, the King of the Barrowlands, Tar-Uriel felt tears well in his eyes, a not infrequent occurrence ever since his Kingdom began to fall into disrepair courtesy of the Mori’quissir, but unlike times previous, these were not tears of mourning. He did not weep for his people, nor his lands- He wept with pride swelled in his chest, pride for their perseverance, their defiance in the face of the enemy. As Tonito’s song concluded, and cheers rang out among the crowd gathered, he realized that others wept too, for they too were consumed with pride and faith. It was then he knew, one day they would defeat their insurmountable foe, even if it was not today, and even though Barrowton was going to fall, he and his folk would survive it all and would come out better for the trials had reforged them. But that thought was interrupted with another…. Barrowton didn’t have to fall to the Mori’quissir. With that thought in mind, and joy in the hearts of him and his community of misfits, the Harrenite Warlord ascended the stage beside the Cardinal and his band, he cleared his throat… And spoke. Thus, in the flames of faith, not war, did Barrowton burn, and the Barrowlanders who settled that land, and claimed it for Canondom, concluded their mission, and marched for refuge in the south. And as they did, it was with a new song on their lips... Flame would cleanse the Barrowlands

Jorvin Starbreaker rolls in his proverbial grave (he isn't dead)

Someone, somewhere bought another round of drinks about the local pub.

In the west, the Adunic Warlord, Tar-Uriel brushes many spiders off his desk before writing a missive... FROM THE KINGDOM OF THE BARROWLANDS Hark and let it be known that the wretched blackguard, Fritjof Maor holds no kinship with the Adunians of the Barrowlands. He was, and is, of Celia'nor, having attempted to usurp the rulership of the Harren'hil from their rightful Chieftain, Oliver Black, at the command of the False-King and Necromancer, Aurelion Marsyr, and his then-collaborators within Celia'nor. He was and is a foe of our godly folk, and his fate is justly deserved for the slaying of a priest. The hearts of me and mine bleed for what has become of the Heartlands, and I pray this is the last-such atrocity to occur. His Majesty by the Grace of God Tar-Uriel King and Protector of the Adunians, Lord of the Barrowlands, Chieftain of the Faithful Harren’hil, Templar of Archangel Michael, and Knight of the Realm

Extremely tense, mostly. One might even say anxious.

Go around lol

In the west, the Adunic Warlord, Tar-Uriel brushes many spiders off his desk as he read on, a tired smile wearing upon his face. Slowly but surely, he begin penning a letter... FROM THE KINGDOM OF THE BARROWLANDS It gladdens me to see writ for all, one of the better deeds of my ultimate predecessor and progenitor, Harren the Conqueror, that being the slaying of the Orc-King Krug, in the time before Harren's own descent into decadence, complacency, and treachery. Verily! Let it mark well, and be a warning sign to me and my own, that even a great warrior such as he would wane into great depths, should he be lacking in virtue. Let it remind also of the dreadful sorrow and cycle that is that of a kinslayer, ever bound to strike upon their own in seeking retribution. Even when it is justified, it should never be done gladly. On behalf of me and mine, I express thanks to Master Napier and his Eminence, the Cardinal Teodosio Tyria. When our holy church is no-longer in the throes of mourning, I petition to see this Targe in person, that to look upon a piece of mine own people's history, I also petition that I might hold it in display for mine folk, when such a time as we are no longer at war. Failing that, I will be satisfied with seeing it. His Majesty by the Grace of God Tar-Uriel King and Protector of the Adunians, Lord of the Barrowlands, Chieftain of the Faithful Harren’hil, Templar of Archangel Michael, and Knight of the Realm
