Natalia was in her room, having been locked away within it for a month. She has been using the ice potion for learning frost spells. The only thing she understood was how to use it, but not a stable form, despite entire days of no interruption. She still had alot of the potion left, and would use the rest to get better at what she already knows. She finally came out of it when she ran out of food, and resumed leading again. She proposed another expansion due to the increase of population, and another large military base in cambridge, including ten large farms. The military force sent there would consist of 3k knights and 3k Templars. Another test for the unknown drink had been conducted, and since the original still had some left they could compare. It still did not have the same results, and Natalia actually got slightly upset over it.

--------


Novices of magic were requested to visit the saint Natalia cathedral in cambridge for training, they were individually sent unique letters in some way.


-----------


A mage sighed and informed jord of her doubt about it being a fisherman.


"I keep saying that isn't it, but fine, let the.. thing. Go." And everyone individually climbed back onto the ship. "Alright, visitor... we will be going back to Riverdale, Behave yourself or you will die like the rest of us. I am not going to bother putting it lightly so there." Jord said annoyed, before getting into a smaller ship and leaving back. The others staying to regather nets and look for the real creature.


@Boethiah [would of had more detail but I've been working on something else for awhile now.]


----------------


The ships neared the elves, and a very small row boat with a single guy was sent out prior. He was to inform any guard, or soldier that did not try to kill him first for trespassing, that the military has arrived to aid them.

Khajiit Union




In the crazy election over the months, the Party of the Democracy had won, but surprisingly being headed by the Socialist Fhazzaar II. And in the war effort, he effectively apologized for the war, and returned most stolen land, except for some (shown on the map, made soon)...


He also wished for "Better communication and friendliness in the world," and denounced the Elves.

There was heated debate taking place in the Room of Flames, the Throne room or Varisland, all Inquisitos were in attendance, a rare sight. "Valex, those beloved by Dracos end at our borders. This has been said to all children, my father told me, his mother him and so forth. Those beyond your commanding are beyond the will of She who watches! We cannot let you sully her name and weaken her war! If our devotion wavers we know what the outcome may be! The Red Book states that all who worship gods whose actions are not that of Dracos are black gods of darkness and destruction and their followers are bringers of this doom!" One Inquisitos called out across the room to the three people on the dais, one woman and two men. "Aye, Valex you may stand as representative among our nations but should we choose to turn our backs your authority shall fall faster yet! We cannot afford this, do not make us splinter our great nation to protect her will!" Cried another. 


Valex took a step forward, standing on the edge of the dias, "Exactly why I know you will support me, we cannot afford to splinter. The book says the gods whos actions are not aligned with Dracos are to be our enemy, this does not mean only dracos! As we know she is aided by other gods in her fight, gods of other world, OTHER RACES. Could it not be that such gods can be found around us? You surely know that I will spare no mercy for her enemies, but what of her friends? What if destroying the followers of another nation would remove an ally from her fight? Could we do to her that which we could not even do to ourselves in the great Divide?" With this many Inquisitos looked sheepish, they knew nearly all the passages of the Red Book, certainly any that could help them, but standing before them was perhaps the only man who knew them all. "Are you behind me? I am not asking for blind faith of these people, people who may only know part of the truth, that which their god trusted them with to make sure they would follow the path they needed in the great war above. Dracos revealed to us all, so that we may shepherd the true worshipers of creation against the followers of darkness. Her light guides us on this path, send a small detachment to each of our neighbors, one to Kadath, one to those felines, Khajiits were they?, with whom I suspect we may find many similarities in teachings from what little I know, and finally one to The Sin'dorei to the north, across the heathen filled lands between us. I wish for each to have two Inquisitosi, three of my elite, twenty mountain soldiers and thirty Longbows, with this they should survive the journey to meet with the leaders of each. Though should they not return we may be looking to arm ourselves. Let it be." He said, to finalize the meeting.


With that he looked to Neela, "This will fall under your expertise, you may have only been dealing with our subjects and their needs before but now I wish for you to prepare your agents for this external greeting. We must open the gates if we are to welcome new followers and survive this troubled time. I wish for you to personally over see the meeting with the Khajiit's.

Empire of the Sun


With the year entering its second half, the Emperor ordered the biennial census of the Empire. He sent riders out to every corner of the kingdom to take note of how the population has grown and shifted through the realm.


Upon the riders' return, they found the population has increased to 10.1 million.


As the expedition was met with no resistance, the Emperor also officially announced the integration of those lands into the Empire.

The Emperor also commissioned a single Turtle ship to be built for use in the Grand Lakes Fleet, it is estimated to take 9 months for the ship to be completed and launched.

Union of the Khajiit


 


Ri Fhazaar II sent personally to meet the new-neighbors. He had fifteen massive, armoured Senche-Rahts (Basically sentient super-tigers) with 7 foot tall Khajiit Warriors riding them, with the Senche-Rahts ranging from 15 to 20 feet tall.


They approached the new people with a curious air, surrounding them with the Tigers.


Fhazaar got off, walking towards them.


"Hello, and welcome to the Union of the Khajiit..."


 
 
"Hello, and welcome to the Union of the Khajiit..."

After long days of traveling they reached the border of the Union, here the forces of the Prince of North Lesez that had accompanied them across his lands, providing every assistance, left and returned to their prince, happy that they had kept the favor of the Seat of Fire. Not far into the lands of the Union a band soldiers approached. Neela put on a diplomatic smile and let them approach, making sure her soldier kept a relaxed stance, although it was clear some of the soldiers were feeling a little threatened in the presence of such large beasts. Once the Khajiit band was fairly close she signaled for her two accompanying Inquisitosi to dismount as she did, letting her 'elite guard' remain mounted on their bears. One of the large beasts dismounted one of the larger beasts and welcomed her.


"Thank you, your welcome is grand news to hear. You likely know of the existence of Varisland, but know about as much of us as we do of you. With this in mind I knew not who to contact of my visit, or how. I do not mean any offence with anything I say and if I cause it I apologize deeply, hoping to learn of your culture. With this said, I am Neela, High Inquisitos of Dracos, my role is to keep the world at peace and form strong new bonds. If it is at all possible we would like to eventually meet with your leader or speak to someone on his behalf." She said, standing apart from her soldiers but flanked by her two Inquisitosi. "Until we can talk about such matters I would be more then happy to learn of your culture and what it is you believe. My group of friends, here to keep me safe on my passage through lands unknown, would like to learn your ways as well as we hope you would be interested in ours."

Leng, Kadath

More strangers had come to Kadath and like the others they had been brought before the queen, the spiders having grown more used to outsiders in the time they had been interacting with multiples traders of different races. These were not the  cat people  or the elves but more men like those from the sea so they decided these people could be trusted, though their  gods did worry the spider that heard them talking. It reminded them far to much of the stories of the ancient evil gods  using their followers for their agenda, though perhaps that was just how other gods acted. The spiders had not bothered to ask to much about other races gods half fearing what they might hear and half not wanting to know.  The  diplomats were  brought to the palace before the queen and her advisers. Xerula  dressed in her best silken robes  bedecked with pearls and sparkling  gems, both mana gems and normal ones, and she wielded the jeweled  staff that glowed faintly  with power. 


" Welcome to leng, I have been told you wish to learn about us and that you have some rather ... interesting ideas" she said having heard their odd claims. 


@General Deth Glitch
 
" Welcome to leng, I have been told you wish to learn about us and that you have some rather ... interesting ideas"

The soldiers were very uneasy but they knew what they were getting into. They had seen animals before, but nothing to likeness of these, like the small insects but large as mammals. They were eventually brought to a palace and before what looked to be a council of sort, the Inquisitosi assumed it was their leaders and began making formal introductions once they were greeted "Thank you, you great magnificence, we are indeed here to learn your ways, we are also here to build bridges and seek new allies for our nation. We hope that you are to be such a glorious ally. We are guests in your halls, tell us what we are to do and what is expected of us, we do not with to miss step and cause insult due to a lack of understand of your ways. We hope that we can open communication and learn much of each others ways. 
 
Xerula thought about it really they had had tried to impose any traditions on any others and they had been the ones trying to please others  having always feared that the others would be killing them if they took a  wrong step.  Still that had worked thus far they had  traded and learned what the outside world was like and even had their eyes on some territory nearby assuming no other country took it.  Still as far as it would concern these guests  they would not be restricted  from anything but the most sensitive of areas.  Still there was one thing that she would need to ask them to do as she did not want these people to accidentally  anger some of the more radical people, who while in the vast minority  were still around. 


" We have no really traditions for outsiders feel free to speak, trade, and  ask questions; though I do have a request. I have heard some of your  fervor for your gods I would ask that you keep such zealotry to yourselves. While you will find none hr who deny others gods you will find your message of war not well received and some might  take actions I do not endorse." She explained   keeping  things more civil than if you preach I won't save you from what may happen.

"Alas, you have. It was home to a once great empire of men, but now the Northernmost parts are devoid. It is from this fact that we have taken the name Kuukyojii to reflect the past. Apart from the mainland there are several islands to the South. If you head further West you will come across another continent inhabited by strange beings. Reports have came in about an arachnid race along with a feline one"

After adding a policy to the nation which gives crossbowmen more currency, Natalia went back to practicing again. Two months later she returned [catching up with current timeline.] And was out of the potion. She had managed learning how to cast it, and generate it over time if necessary, but without another potion she was quite limited to what she already knew. Once she returned to the throne, she had maxson inform her that a fisherman had arrived with a drawing and urgent message. He was let in and the drawing was something she had not seen before. 
437c1d7970ac3ce172b0fc9d6e548426.jpg



"Umm, what is that?" Natalia asked with her eyebrow raised. "The penisfish! I mean in the story it is about 70 times bigger than my drawing, but I do not have enough paper or ink for that." The fisherman replied. "It has been been reported within the celestrial sea raiding large fishing parties, with destruction of one ship and the loss of major amounts of fish for at most a month every time. The first report depicted a very large and wide creature emerging from the depths, and all the fisherman could see was this one eye the entire time. We believe the head of the creature in the story reaches 10 meters high but we do not know. We have constantly shut down fishing zones due to this, and now Riverside has a lack of food supply in the far east." He complained to her.


"A monolithic creature in the depths of the celestial sea, raiding fishing vessels? Jow come I was never told of this before?" She asked. "The companies believed that to solve the problem we just needed to limit fishing zones. Then eventually the guard regiments were called in to investigate. They never found anything, and now people are reporting the lack of fish for months at a time in certain areas..." he would then point at the creature. "It is too much of a problem for us to handle now, we need help!" He pleaded. "I see, take me there and I will see what the problem is." She said. "Assistant, You know what to do already." She said to maxson as she stood up. "Yes my queen." Maxson replied. "I should be back in a week." Natalia said before they left. In two days they made it to eastern Riverdale province, in the fishing town of Innsbeaumount. They approached a large dock and Natalia walked to the edge, between the wood and cobblestone. All of the wooden docks being attached to the land by pillars, ropes, and being connected between eachother. "Alright, let's see what the problem here is. I will need a fishing boat, and a backup ship." Natalia requested while looking over the side supports, made to prevent drunkards from leaning over and falling into the water.


At midnight they had set out and started fishing, Natalia would watch the water and her guardsmen with rifles would be vigilant. They had a ship far off, but still in viewing distance. They had fished for 7 hours without any activity and or halting. Natalia stuck her hand into the water and pulled out one of the fish, it had strange marks on it but it was still alive. "That indeed is strange.... But I..." she was interrupted by something ripping the fish out of her hand. "Wh-..." she had become confused, as nothing had ever stolen a fish from the depths like that. The fishermen onboard then started to be unsettled by the lack of fish, Requesting their captain to leave immediately only to be denied. "I have been raised here since I was three, I have never once expected this to ever happen." Natalia said out loud to herself. "Alright, let's return to the town. We can try again tomorro-" she heard a fisherman scream and run the opposite direction. Natalia would of walked across the deck to him, where 3 others were preventing him from trying to escape with a row boat. "What is the matter?" She asked. "IT IS HERE!" He yelled. The man climbing out of the boat and approaching her, the man having a very frightened expression. "The thing, whatever it is, I saw it!" He pointed to the side of the boat. "I don't want to be here, I don't want to be here, I do-" he was interrupted. "Calm down, it was probably a very large silver fish or something." Another crewmen said.


As they had started to sail away on the old boat, Natalia was sitting down besides the wall of the ship. She was reading a book about mythology about a whale with wings. She looked besides her and saw a strange orangish red club besides her, she was somewhat freaked out about the underside of it having strange circular disks. Natalia would then quickly get up and turn around, slowly looking upwards. "Oh... Well this is unfortunate." She would see a large head reaching out to the sky, before it started to lean. She would then quickly walk afar from it as she was capable of doing, before going indoors. "We have a problem, and I do not think the vessel will survive." Natalia said. The captain being in a small room. "What do you mean my lady?" He asked. Quickly afterwards there was gun fire, and the ship started to lean back and forth on it's sides. "Well for one, we have that." She replied. The captain's eyes were wide and he quickly stood up, walking to the door and the two exited. "What in the name of lesu's light?..." Natalia's guards were shooting at it, and in retaliation it would just fling them away. It did not harm them otherwise, but 2 of the 5 were rendered unconscious. Since nobody but Natalia's guards had any real weapons, the crew would just throw barrels off the side of the ship. It primarily was wrestling around the side of the ship with the fish stored on it, throwing some off the side or using a tentacle to scoop then off. The captain then got a idea and stopped a crewmate which was about to run past him. "You there! You see those nets?" He asked. "Yes sir!" He got in response. "Unhook them immediately!" He ordered. "But what of the f-" she was interrupted. "Fuck the fish! This time we save the crew!" He said to her. "Take this and remove the nets immediately." He would give her a small knife. "Yes sir!" She would then run to each net and individually detach them from the ship.


She had trouble with the final net, but Natalia stole a sword from one of her guards and cut it free. "Your welcome, now get us out of here." Natalia ordered the crewmate. The unknown creature would let the ship go and disappear with the fish. They would begin sailing away, until a guard informed Natalia and the captain that the ship was sinking. The ship would of had a hull breach on it's underside which could not be blocked, and thus the captain ordered a evacuation and took all of the valuables. On the last boat out, Natalia had herself, the captain and her last guard on it. They would then be taken away by a ironclad back to safety.

Emily would be invited to the new cathedral, she would be guarding it and was informed about it's true purpose once she accepted. She was told that some magic users would be training in it, and to ignore any of the more inappropriate of the community.
 
" We have no really traditions for outsiders feel free to speak, trade, and  ask questions; though I do have a request. I have heard some of your  fervor for your gods I would ask that you keep such zealotry to yourselves. While you will find none hr who deny others gods you will find your message of war not well received and some might  take actions I do not endorse."

The Inquisitosi looked nervous at the request until 'you will find none here who deny other gods', for that was a large part of their purpose for traveling, hearing that they added "We will not preach from the Age of the Dark, that is the age of our book that tells us how we must content such forces and encourage us to war them away down here to help the war above. May we still tell of the earlier ages, such as our belief that most, if not all religions have a grain of truth, telling their followers a small part of a greater truth. Could we tell of how the fires of creation allow life to flourish on this earth or that we believe Dracos fights for our freedom and continued existence? Can we speak of how the Red Book tells us that we mortals are just as powerful as the gods when we work together, that we can shape our world through determination? I beg you allow us to preach some, we seek not to turn your people away from their beliefs, only to allow them a window into ours, just as we hope you allow us a view of yours. As I have said, we don't necessarily believe you are wrong, merely that we are both right." one requested, noting the nerves on the men and women around the two Inquisitosi she added "As we speak can my companions be escorted to a place to stay or an area to set up camp?"

Xerula  honestly did not like  these peoples desire to purge and fight, she also did not like  their  idea of creation. To the spiders the makers of the world were gods of chaos destruction, madness, and pure evil; they were also dead.  They had never been told of any war or fight against any other gods they knew of  one such war and they knew what it was like to be called evil  so they could not believe that  those that were evil were simply because some people said so. 


" The makers of the world, the creators of the first life are dead." Xerula said " That is what  our people know  for we once were made to serve them" she continued not wanting to get into a  fight of theology  with these people.  " You will find that none here will simply accept  that those you claim are evil are so because you call them so, for we were once called evil  and  driven out for existing" she  said reciting the origin of Kadath that everyone knew  " We have only recently come to believe your people, those outside the fog are not evil, not the mindless slaughters you once were" she finished honestly hoping they would understand that the concept of  fighting a war of evil as defined by some others or dogma was not  something they beilived in " You may speak  of your gods and your beliefs, but know that Lyarhis saved those that gods once deemed evil and demanded to be cleansed from their stolen world and we believe that  all deserve such a chance" she said  in essence giving them permission but  also  explaining that their world views were not fully compatible.

Sato asked one of his mages what the strange man had shouted and once it was explained, he approved by raising a green flag and gesturing for them to come over.

The serpent charmer decided to further investigate these people and did as instructed, going into the actual city to meet with one of the officials.


@Kazami42


Union of the Khajiit


After waiting for over three months on this new continent, nobody had contacted the expedition despite the expedition making themselves known by trading with local villages. The force bought one last batch of food before setting sail once more and going around a peninsula. On the way, they noticed a port city and decided to send a few ships in to restock other naval supplies.


@General Deth Glitch


Kuukyojii


Since Teru's Southern expedition three months ago, little word had came from them until now. As it turns out the crew had discovered a sprawling set of underground caverns that allowed people to actually survive in the freezing weather. Teru named the small island string the Kumika Silui and went North. Having heard of the danger the Kyakejii promised, Teru decided to make that his next destination and he set out at once.

"I apologize that you had to undertake such oppression, I feel that your old gods were ones of destruction, leading you to destroy the world outside and oppressing your freedoms. I have to say I am impressed and amazed that you managed to overthrow such dark gods. While you show my people where they will be staying would you mind telling us a little of your culture and beliefs? We are here to learn more then we hope to teach. Tell us of this 'Lyarhis' and the stories you tell your young. Let me see all that is your people and learn what it means to be one of your kin!" she said eagerly.
 
North of Temu, Kuukyojii


After agreeing to lead the man ashore the ships went to Temu, the nearest city to them and prepared to make a trip up the river. The city of Temu lied on the coast along both sides of the Yuga River and had a chain blocking passage North along the river. After opening the passage up, various bridges were raised as well and the foreigners were escorted Northwards. Coming upon a circular dome-like wall, the crew disembarked and the mage pulled out a strange instrument. He began hitting it against the wall until a gate opened up and they were allowed entry. They climbed a flight of stairs until they came upon a smaller dome in the center surrounded by robed figures bearing hammers. They raised their hammers in unison and each hit a gong which rang throughout the structure. The next set of doors opened and a figure appeared to be in the center of the room in a meditative state, she was clad in long flowing black robes yet had skin as pale as snow. Raising her head she revealed that she had purple eyes that glinted in the sunlight let through by the holes at the tops of both of the domes.


"I have heard your echo, your presence in the world. Your actions have plucked the strings of the sea and began a new song between our peoples, but will this be a song of joy and benefit or of strife and sorrow?"

The Grand Duchess of Murath


"My lady, ships arrived in the city of Marsi, two large ships, holding perhaps as many as 100 lives on each! I recognize them not, I do not believe they are one of your fellow lords, please send a detachment of men, they are buying a great deal of supplies and we need them to feed our families but traders are upping their costs to sell to these foreigners." Said the man who, still out of breath, was brought into her hall, interrupting the Jarlthing they were having. He had ridden in a cart most of the way and ran the rest of the way to the great hall. "Fear not, are you the Maers or Marsi's son? I feel I recognize you from my last visit. We both know you have more then enough supplies, you may just need to wait for them to leave so that traders drom their prices, but I shall implore they do so now when I arrive." With that the Grand Duchess, Kaelise, looked to the Inquisitos who had just made his way back from his meeting at the Seat and was probably expecting some time to relax but he was the representative of Dracos and it was important he be there and set off out the great doors. A servant took the young man to get some food and a bed for the night, on the house. She headed out and toward her Baer Garr and called her bear to mount him and ride out, once returning to the front of her hall she saw the Inquisitos and her six guard were all mounted up too ready. They would rely on the city guard at Marsi for the rest of their forces. 


It was not long before Kaelise and her entourage arrived at Marsi and could see the heightened level of excitement, fields were notable understaffed and the markets were swelling to far larger numbers then usual. She then made way to the dock and saw the two great ships. As she approached, and made way to meet the leader of this expedition, her Inquisitos, Tael, made a collumn of fire billow from his outstretched arm, reaching into the sky. This was to announce her arrival and the need to make way to the people around her. As this happened one of her men sounded a horn and the people were soon flocking to the sides of the street, some bowing in respect or placing their dominate hand on their far shoulder for the same reason while others were just looking on in curiosity. The great pillar of fire continued until she made her way to the dock and awaited someone to greet her, before she sent someone aboard to make sure they greeted her.

After long days of traveling they reached the border of the Union, here the forces of the Prince of North Lesez that had accompanied them across his lands, providing every assistance, left and returned to their prince, happy that they had kept the favor of the Seat of Fire. Not far into the lands of the Union a band soldiers approached. Neela put on a diplomatic smile and let them approach, making sure her soldier kept a relaxed stance, although it was clear some of the soldiers were feeling a little threatened in the presence of such large beasts. Once the Khajiit band was fairly close she signaled for her two accompanying Inquisitosi to dismount as she did, letting her 'elite guard' remain mounted on their bears. One of the large beasts dismounted one of the larger beasts and welcomed her.


"Thank you, your welcome is grand news to hear. You likely know of the existence of Varisland, but know about as much of us as we do of you. With this in mind I knew not who to contact of my visit, or how. I do not mean any offence with anything I say and if I cause it I apologize deeply, hoping to learn of your culture. With this said, I am Neela, High Inquisitos of Dracos, my role is to keep the world at peace and form strong new bonds. If it is at all possible we would like to eventually meet with your leader or speak to someone on his behalf." She said, standing apart from her soldiers but flanked by her two Inquisitosi. "Until we can talk about such matters I would be more then happy to learn of your culture and what it is you believe. My group of friends, here to keep me safe on my passage through lands unknown, would like to learn your ways as well as we hope you would be interested in ours."

Khajiiti Border


Fhazaar smiled back again, the Senche-Rahts and soldiers standing tall, almost defiantly.


"We would be interested in the trading of knowledge... Most of us Khajiiti have the idea that all Knowledge is sacred, and it is the slogan I used to run for President, or Leader as some people call it... If you desire, you could take a ride with us to our Capitol..."

"I'm sorry?" Neela replied "Slogan? I don't understand your words, are you the elected leader of these people? If so It is indeed wonderful to meet with you, I hope we can build bridges between our people. I would very much like it if we could travel to your capitol and learn about your people, you could tell me what you mean by 'Slogan' and we can tell you of our people." she said making a subtle motion to her bear to began walking over. "Tell me all of your people as we travel and ask any questions you may have. We as a people are looking for allies, but do not wish to ally people who do not agree with our ways. I promise we will cause no trouble while we are here. Now, please, lead the way and we shall gladly follow!" She said, mounting her bear as her soldiers began to move up to form around her.

Fhazaar laughed. "A slogan is a catchy phrase, an easy to remember short sentence... And follow on to us, at full speed we could reach the Capitol in a day"
 
After some time heading back to the island, They would of made it to the city. After jord docked and tied the boat off to a wooden pole, he would get out and begin walking. Occasionally he would be checking on the visitor. They eventually entered one of the areas secluded by a wall and wooden gate, Walking in to see a large bootcamp-esque base. Jord just continued to walk forwards to one of the buildings and opened the door, holding it open for the visitor. "You wanted to meet with a superior, here you are." Jord would then enter the main building as well, and would of informed a guard that he had a queen's assistant with him. They would then enter a small office, with a guy sitting down in a chair in the corner of the room. "What is it now?" The superior asked. "A visitor that came from nowhere wanted to see you" jord said. The superior sighed. "State what your business in Riverdale is then, outsider." The superior said and looked at the visitor.

The Southlands


After the success and glory of the first quest down here, many Harukadian adventurers were traveling here to gain fame and wealth. Now, rumors of the Behemoth, a mammoth 20 times the size of any other and with black fur, were spreading, and Selwyth himself declared that's he would find it. He gathered the greatest heroes of the realm and set sail. This time they explored the farthest south, filled with pine and ever covered in snow. The beasts here were exotic and dangerous, including snow-white hawks with four wings and pale foxes slinking across the snow. The Behemoth was not difficult to track, seeing advantage it left footprints the size of craters and crushed forests wherever it went, but it still took 2 full weeks before the creature was sighted. Another day of trekking and the group of 40 was ready to fight. The great blasts of rifles could be heard for miles in the silent south, and the beast turned, more angry than hurt. It swung its trunk like a flail, sweeping five men out of the way and into death in one great strike. The seriousness was realized and the two machine guns that had been brought were set up while the rest fought. Individual shots were like a tap to this monster, and anyone who got close enough for a melee strike was crushed. 3 more men died while the machine guns were prepared. Finally, they were set up, and they began to pump the Behemoth full of bullets. Individually they were nothing, but the speed and volume began to add up as the beast trumpeted in pain. As it bellowed, Selwyth pulled out the tooth from the lightning lizard and a rope with a hook on the end and charged forwards. He leaped upwards and threw the rope up to the top of the beast, where the hook sunk itself firmly in the flesh. The Behemoth barely noticed, too focused on the rest. Selwyth began pulling himself up the side even as he was swung by the power of the monster. Finally, after 6 more men were killed and both machine guns were badly jammed, Selwyth reached the beast's back. With a great cry he stabbed the tooth in. Lightning struck from the sky at the exact spot of the stab at the extant time. The monster let out one last great bellow of pain before collapsing forwards. Selwyth leaped off just in time to avoid death and the entire band of adventurers cheered in victory. Much meat was cut off for the night's victory feast and the journey home, and the tusks of flawless ivory were prepared to be brought back. As this happened, a discovery was made. A baby, about the size of a normal mammoth, was found. As Selwyth approached it, he looked into its eyes, and an instant connection was made. He mounted the beast with ease and no resistance and it submitted. The massive remaining corpse of the Behemoth was burned as an offering to Harukad.


 


Meanwhile, in Harukadia, the population had once again grown by 300k. 40k more men were conscripted for the army. A message was sent to the Reichans wondering if they had gotten the Harukadian alliance offer. @Agent141

North of Temu, Kuukyojii


After agreeing to lead the man ashore the ships went to Temu, the nearest city to them and prepared to make a trip up the river. The city of Temu lied on the coast along both sides of the Yuga River and had a chain blocking passage North along the river. After opening the passage up, various bridges were raised as well and the foreigners were escorted Northwards. Coming upon a circular dome-like wall, the crew disembarked and the mage pulled out a strange instrument. He began hitting it against the wall until a gate opened up and they were allowed entry. They climbed a flight of stairs until they came upon a smaller dome in the center surrounded by robed figures bearing hammers. They raised their hammers in unison and each hit a gong which rang throughout the structure. The next set of doors opened and a figure appeared to be in the center of the room in a meditative state, she was clad in long flowing black robes yet had skin as pale as snow. Raising her head she revealed that she had purple eyes that glinted in the sunlight let through by the holes at the tops of both of the domes.


"I have heard your echo, your presence in the world. Your actions have plucked the strings of the sea and began a new song between our peoples, but will this be a song of joy and benefit or of strife and sorrow?"


@Lordvader59

"The Imperium wishes only for peace between our peoples." Lars straightened, realizing this was a figure of authority "My name, is Lars Volusenus Eliphas, I am sorry the leader of our first foreign contact isnt greated by someone above myself, I am but a humble servant of the God Emperor. What do you call yourself?" @Boethiah
