The Realm of Sylica

[Anastasia]

Update 8

Marchalu reports that a back channel claiming to be from a 'powerful Banite' wants a meeting with Sylica.

Naeys reports that the omens have generally changed since your battle with Shar, strangely so. Right now getting information out of them is difficult.

Strength of Light reports realm defense is integrating back in well after the brief war.

[Ebiris]

Marchalu can arrange a meeting with said Banite on neutral ground somewhere, Alicia will monitor her when it happens to ensure her safety.

Noted on the other two.

[Anastasia]

Okay cool.

[Anastasia]

Update 9

Ebony reports that Aurora is gathering funds for a military operation against a nest of vampires. Any additional funds that can be provided would be helpful.

Strength of Light reports that all forces are ready for normal operations once more. Morale is high in all forces, including the Daun contingent.

Intelligence on Malcanthet suggests that there is currently unrest in her realm. They'd guess why, but you have a pretty good idea IC. Of one note, it's said that one of the Radiant Sisters has fled Malcanthet's service altogether.

[Ebiris]

So additional funds for Aurora does that just mean an increased realm commitment? Since I don't actually have any money myself.

Disappointing only one radiant sister has bailed, but do we know which one it was?

[Anastasia]

It looks to be Ivory the White from reports - though the others are obviously unhappy as of right now, though much of this is happening in private and rumors run rampant.

An increased realm commitment would do, or a magical item or two of use or whatever. It's a flexible situation.

[Ebiris]

Okay. The task to expose Malcanthet's plans is finished. That's 20% freed up, so we'll put an extra 10% to Aurora and an extra 10% to counter-intelligence since that's clearly needed right n ow.

[Anastasia]

Done, now update incoming.

[Anastasia]

Update 10

Marchalu reports that matters are calm for now, but they have braced for things to get ugly. All considered, they know it's a matter of time.

Naeys reports that in the recent days, omens of danger and shadows have grown more evident.

Empress Sulia sends thanks for your contributions on Daun so far, and wishes to meet with you at your convenience to discuss a joint move.

[Ebiris]

Since the omens suggest another attack from Shar is in the offing and things are chaotic enough on the demon front as well, we'll shift 6% away from rest and onto realm defence so rest is at 5% and realm defence is at 25%. These'll need to be changed after update 11 when some modifiers go away.

Alicia will invite Sulia to come meet up but that'll be IC.

[Ebiris]

Also Dawnhope can come home now that Calley's living with Sylvie. I'll put her in charge of 'Rest' for now, she's sure to cheer people up and help them relax.

[Anastasia]

Done and done.

[Anastasia]

Update 11

Ebony reports that Aurora has received word of possible diabolical plots against Sylica and Syala's faithful in particular.

Hugo will inform you that the Morndinsamman is interested in a temporary trade of mid level smiths and artisans, small scale, and wishes to know if Sylica is interested.

Strength of Light reports losses on Daun are as expected so far, but also expected to rise as the operational tempo spikes.

[Ebiris]

Can we get more information on those diabolical plots?

We're totally fine with that kind of trade with the dwarves, get Latha to oversee it.

[Anastasia]

From what Ebony can gather, it looks to be a lot of low level moves - undermining her faithful, assassinations and disruption. It seems to be centrally managed by an unknown diabolical figure at this time and mostly aimed at the Prime.
