Work in Progress... Spring. The time of the planting season and when the smaller campaigns and expeditions begin. This year marked the second expedition into Sarkan for the Mitrasperans. East Blackwood joined the Realm of Roses instead of the Duchy of Validar this time while the armies of the Dark Alliance also made their presence known. In an effort to deepen the relationship between the Mitrasperans and the Sarkani Vibalider, the expeditionary forces supported Saint Faitaja in several moon rituals while other units uncovered more about this new land including a conflict between the Nocturnals and Greifenbron, ware-people and the moon, and more.

Power of the Moon Goddess

Saint Faitaja, leader of the Vibalier and potential ally of the Mitrasperans requested the aid of the Mitrasperan host. She requested ritual and military support in the execution of several rituals. Why would the Mitrasperans agree to this, one could ask? Saint Faitaja would tell you that the magic in the region was subdued and unnatrual due to a Veil that had been placed over it. She would say that removing it would return the land to its natural order.

When pressed, one would say that these rituals would support the Mitrasperan mission to find the third sister and thus the key to restoring the living continent of Mitraspera. More importantly, Mitrasperans need allies in Sarkan who are willing and able to help them save their home which, as many of our readers know, is dying. Serving our friends, allies and potential allies would only serve to further that goal.

The location where the Lunar Rituals needed to be performed was on a large field near the expeditionary camps of both Sarkan and Mitraspera. For their own reasons if not just to harm their enemies, the Dark Alliance repeated attacked the expeditionary forces upon this field as the rituals were taking place. The main rituals called for artifact plates filled with a special lunar liquid to be brought to the ritual locations without spilling.

The expeditionary army rallied to the defense of the rituals and fended off attacks from the Black Dynasty led by the Black Prince himself, Garvan's Undead seemingly led by Fortingas and the Skargen. Over the course of three days, battle was waged upon that field. Some distinguished themselves more than others such as the Stahlschwur under Ser Maron and the Archon of the Roses himself, his Radiance Ramirez who fought several duels against high ranking officers of the Dark Alliance including Fortingas. While these battles took place, other supplemental rituals were performed at other temples in the surrounding region. The efforts of those valiant defenders paid off as the ritual was a success, returning the region to a state of equilibrium.

East Blackwood with the Realm of Roses

In the autumn of last year, Lady Anna-Katharina von Rabenau and Blackwood married Viscount Gavriil Varontova von Tamgorod. The conclusion of the wedding saw the deaths of several Syconians from Tamgorod, Yel'zma and Reva, an injured duchess of Yel'zma and viscount of Tamgorod and several heavily injured guests and soldiers of East Blackwood. The expected retaliation and possibly war between East Blackwood, its allies and Syconia forced Baron Dagger Arkenstone of East Blackwood to make a decision. He decided to take his people and leave the Duchy of Validar.
