With their location marked, the Avani had all they needed.

The following days, Transportation ships would arrive on the coast and allow entry onto themselves. The Avani informed the Kowenians they would be returned home and were given an abundance of food and other wealthy items. They were told their ships they were assigned to and waited for all to board.

Meanwhile, and Expedition team of 5 Destroyers and 6 Cruisers would guard the Kowenian transport ships and had their goal set, claim for Avidina.

The Avidinans are soon met though with a series of islands under the protection of Artaecus, which is initially alarmed at the presenced of the Avidian cruisers although after it is discovered they were returning the Kowenian fishermen (who had been presumed dead at this point.) The local government thanked the Avidians. The local government also warned the Avidians to be cautious around the other Kowenian islands, as they may not be as friendly as themselves and may perceive the Avidians as a threat if they hung around the area.

There is also rumors spread among the Avidians of some of the Kowenian islands who have fallen into disrepair and have largely abandoned.

RP: An Attempt at Diplomacy

With Tearth leaving the BRI, there is a sudden need in relations. The Tearthian government has sent out diplomatic telegrams to every nation on Kalrania that hasn’t set up diplomatic relations with Tearth yet.

RP : Your Majesty

Duke Rolart opened up his helmet's visor, he led a thousands of warriors in a sortie towards the crown's army besieging them. If days were allowed to go on, the siege-machines that the crown of Lentelan brought would reduce Sellamba to dust, burying the city into ashes. Most of the garrison have been wounded or blasted apart by the bombardment, the walls themselves have crumbled into mere piles of stones.

A week ago, the crown retinue of Phatrek Selmundo had arrived to Sellamba in order to arrest him for "treason" against the crown, a crime he or his family never had committed. He had dutifully honored all feudal obligations, and paid all tributes in full, but he was sure it was a move to centralize the Phatrek's own power. Although now he came to think of it, it would have been a much wiser choice if he had turned himself in, instead of standing his ground. It only strengthened their pretense to forward their agenda. The day later their city was beset by artillery bombardments as long as the sun stood in the sky. The night was illuminated by the fires of morning's terror. Most of the city populace took shelter in their basements and the sewage system developed by the previous dukes.

The royal retinue met Rolart's sally with a force of a hundred men. It would seem that the siege would soon come to end, and the only logical decision was to surrender. He dismounted his horse and walked towards them along the retinue. But amongst them was Phatrek Selmundo I Alva and Knight-Commander Thurter, along with what seems to be a Lentelan battlemage. The two of them were armed like soldiers they were, but Selmundo held a handgun copied from the BRI traders. Even as he grieved to do so, he kneeled down in front of Selmundo supported by his own longsword.

" Why? " was the only response Rolart could muster, dirtied by the ashes of his fief, he angrily looked up to Selmundo whose expressions were covered by his cold mask.

" Welcome Traitor. " Phatrek Selmundo greeted with hidden bitterness. " You have decided to give up, I see. I do wonder what was the Duke of Sellamba thinking when he sent a guest to my quarters last cycle? Did you think I wouldn't notice? Perhaps it is because I looked like a helpless child, so frail and fragile, so easy to murder. Tell me, do you still want to kill me even now? "

" W-what? None of what you are saying makes sense!" Rolart stood from his knees, Thurter was quick to bear his sword but Selmundo signaled him to stand down. " Rolart, you snake-tongued bastard... You still lie at me even until now? "

Duke Rolart at his full height dwarfed the three people, especially the Phatrek whose disease-ridden body stopped any growth past childhood. As Selmundo spun his handgun over his finger, Rolart spoke. " None of these things you accuse me of are true! " He faced Thurter " It is the military... They are deceiving you! I stood loyally with your grandfather when he brought peace all over Seibalath, he warned of the ignoble peasantry that corrupt the throne! " " Silence! None shall disrespect the Phatrek. " Thurter was close to hurling himself to beat up Rolart if it were not for Selmundo, whose expression behind his mask was unchanged.

" My men are not to be slandered, Rolart. You affiliate yourselves with the Ceolanese and the Serren, despicable. If you think that I hold any mercy for turncoats like you, save that thought for yourself. Now let us not delay your arrest, enough lives had been lost this day. " Selmundo signaled the Knight-Commander and the battlemage back, they oblige, but as the Phatrek holds his gaze he glimpsed Rolart.

" You intend me to die, regardless of my testimony. If this be my last day being free, so be it! " Duke Rolart charged with his longsword, closing the distance between him and Selmundo. Thurter faced back and rushed to parry his blow, the battlemage scribbling a rune over the air. They were too slow even as they held their guard up, soon the blade's tip kissed the Phatrek's cheek, but not before—

Thunder shook the air, and a man's body fell to the floor, it was the duke. Blood gushed from the bullet-holes in his right shoulder, the armor that covered it shattered. Smoke came out of the barrel of Selmundo's handgun, pointed at the dying man. Selmundo clutched his mask's cheek, dented by the impact. " It feels nice... doesn't it? Murdering people for good and wholesomeness. " Rolart watched the Phatrek's eyes before he eventually became unconscious.

Selmundo felt himself become dazed, his stomach betrayed him and spilled out its contents to the floor. The violence was too much and personal. The Knight-Commander and the Battlemage rushed to his sides and carried him back to his horse. The duke's corpse was taken in by the garrison, surrendering right afterwards. Long at last, Lentelan was unified and soon would be the Seibalath.

Beakolini's answer

RP: Thank you letter - Classified

Grateful of Beakolini's support, the Marinian Front would send a small gift to the man to show their gratitude. Once more delivered by a private courier, a letter would be sent, this time directly to Beakolini.

Letter

Greetings dear friend,

I hear you have seized power within the Avidinan Islands, and for that, we congratulate you. For your help towards our righteous future we have decided to share this with you. It has come to our attention the Rekkenian Empress may be planning to help the Avian Queen, Fiia, to replace you at some point in time. We do not know when such time would be as our adversary is seemingly ever-young and has all the time in the world. Although we might not be certain of when such intentions may be set in motion, we do urge you to take counter-measures against her. It is written in the history books that she took power when she was but a little girl, hence she would know which steps to take to set up a regime more... favorable towards them. We have a contact ready in Lead Bay did you wish for more information.

Thank you once more and congratulation on the seizure of power.

Crown Princess Fiona Revon of Marinia

The letter would have a small stain of ketchup and mayonnaise and a splatter of grease on the bottom left corner giving the letter a distinct burger-like smell.

The Archian Situation

RP: Apologies

Feeling bad about having her presence on the islands in form of the Pahan Katse nightclubs, yet not informing her sister about the changes which had taken place over time, Eerika would give her official apology to her sister.

RP: Little Lost Girl(?)

Having followed the development of the situation in Avidina, Sievi has decided to contact the current Avian Queen, Fiia, in order to help her organize and learn how to be in such position as a girl so young. She would offer a visit to Fiia's castle promising to bring one of her cats and some new sweets she may not have tried yet with her if she'd like that. She would not yet mention anything about wishing to help her act and be as a monarch her age should in order to not scare the girl. She would also see it for the best to see how she stands with things currently first.

RP: Stepping in

Fiias letter would be intercepted by her mother, Arcwind. With Fiia being still so young, Arcwind replied back for her, agreeing but under her watch.

Meanwhile, Beakolini would begin growing more and more distrust within the monarchy.

RP: Increasing wheat production

As a majority of Avidinas food supply came from both the Whiskwindian and Rotalian regions of the nation, Beakolini would keep the remaining vineyards but begin a increase of wheat within the open and vast Rotalian fields. The Rotalian public, having mostly thrived off simple grains and wine, would rejoice with this government mandate as the field of new meals and culture could begin to foster.

RP: New military doctrine
After the new militarisation of the MSDF, a new military doctrine follows as well. While most of the MSDF's might will be through it's naval force, it's land force is largely defensive. Since that is an issue while in an unfamiliar and hostile environment, the land force has the doctrine to secure and occupy defensive positions inside of said environment, which isn't possible without a sort of breakthrough force to secure said positions. A large part of that force would include breakthrough tanks, but since those aren't currently available to produce, the Milenciano government has decided to buy T-100HK from the nation of Etrius, since the MSDF already has experience with said equipment.

RP: The return of Omega

The Prophecies of the older generations of Lohani would still be present, but begin to fade as Lohanism dominated for so long. However, there was now much more than just Lohanism to threaten the way of The Mighty Snow. Long ago, a pillar of Obsidian stood as a gravemarker for the long gone Siva. With its downfall, years swept by without any hinderance for the Archians and their Island. However, the grave had been silent for too long, the end had come to reclaim the lost Throne, as known by the Archons of old.

Remnant Isle, former pillar

A stub of pure black obsidian only remained as the years of neglect had taken its toll on the beacon. But the day of reckoning had come, and the truth projected forward into a dark cloud that swirled over the broken pillar. From within the pillar, eyes of pure white projected from the void as the darkness only increased with its intensity. Shaking the ground to the point of cracks, multiple colored wisps of energy pulled from the ground and entered the raging void as a rainbow orb slowly began to form outside of the pillar. Once fully formed, the darkness retreated into the black cloud, revealing Omega, the fractured spirit of Siva. Stepping down from from the broken pillar, she held the orb within her hands and slowly transferred it to the pillar. Once it was on the stub, the orb quickly ascended to the center and broke into a bright light. With this light, the stub of obsidian rounded out to a smooth base. The remainder erupted into a tower of pure reinforced Crystalline. Within the crystalline was the orb, which was beginning to make a form of a dragonoid. This pillar would shine bright within the daytime, visible enough for the Archians, Avani, and Frostwindians to see.

RP: 9th Parish Massacre
Local authorities arrived on scene not long after the massacre occurred, arriving to late to stop it. As police arrived on scene they immediately moved to arrest the Church Guardians who had opened fire upon the Nazhitak. Meanwhile medical services arrived to help the injured, but only four of the Nazhitak would be alive to be taken for medical care, while the bodies of the others were collected. The whole area was cordoned off and police immediately went to investigating what happened, taking witness statements and looking at evidence. There was footage of the massacre, both from church surveillance cameras and from bystander footage, which quickly made it into the hands of the national media. It was not long until the story had become the centre of national attention, prompting the involvement of federal authorities in the case. While much of the nation was outraged, sentiments within the Catholic Magyar community in the north largely supported the actions of the Church Guardians. However, due to mounting pressures from the nation, Pope Dan XIX has condemned the actions, stripping Arpad's Priesthood and removing the Archbishop Szilagy, whom he blamed for allowing the massacre to take place.

The actions of the Catholics in Khust has attracted the scorn of many sects of Rumanian Christianity, including the Church of the Confession, the only non-ecumenical church in the nation, which has labeled Istvan a Saint and Martyr.

RP: John Nash Sentenced to 30 Days Jail Time
Prosecutors in Bekes have sentenced John Nash to 30 days jail time for unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace. He is to serve the time in the local jail. Meanwhile, outside of the walls of the jail, the preaching of Marianne Silvas has attracted the attention of many, especially after the events in Khust, and she has gained a large following and base of support, who believe the Nazhitak are being unfairly and illegal persecuted within Magyarorzag.

RP: The Szofia Rising
Szofia's declaration at Friar Ioan's sermon reach out unexpectedly. As the news of the massacre in Khust reached the downtrodden of Galati, the words of Szofia took a new meaning, and it attracted the attention of many of the city's ethnic minority communities who had struggled under the Moldav-Vlach Ethnocentricity of the nation for decades.

RP: The Comparisons of Two Angry Prophets

And it was in the intervening time between John's arrest and release that Silvas continued to share the plight of the Nazhitak to the world, preaching in every open space and courtyard to all ears that would listen. She spoke of the Kingdom of Rumania and its people, and she told them they were sinful and enslaved to world which had been made by Satan. And she told them to repent, and to walk down the path set forward by John, for he had been sent by the Great Invisible Spirit to pave the way for a new Messaiah that was destined to steal the world from Satan. Silvas spoke of many of these things and this is what she said:

". . .This Kingdom is like a tree. Yes! It is like a great big oak that starts as a seed and sprouts and grows stronger with each passing year! And it grows on its branches many leaves and fruit and in turn, the leaves bring the tree life and the fruit brings the tree offspring. But, beware of this false serenity! Because look at the base of the tree and see what it does to the saplings that fall and try to grow in its shade. They are withered because the sun is blotted out. They are husked because the water is sapped from their roots! And they die, cause they are snapped by the powerful winds. And so then, when that tree becomes more than pain than good, the lumberjack will come for its wood and send it crashing down! And in its place, a great field of grass will grow, all bathed by the sun without a difference. And all blades will have their rain. And the wind will blow through them freely and unhindered. Rightly I tell you, so it will be so with this nation!"

And it came to pass, in the intervening days between John's arrest and release that Szófia shared the plight of humankind to the world, preaching in every slum and alley to all ears that would listen. She spoke of Kalrania and its people, and she told them that their eyes were closed and that she had come to open them to the skies made by the First Ruler. And she told to seek the savior through the path set forward by herself, for she had been sent by Barbelo to release humankind from servitude to Yaldabaoth. Szófia spoke of many of these things and this is what she said:

". . .The folk of the world is like this. When a child is born blind, they cannot truly make the world out themselves. They may feel up and down and around, but rightly I say, they miss the details they pass by. They may feel a block of wood and know that it says 'Truth,' but they cannot make out if it is green and red or haint blue. And when it rains, they may seek shelter into what feels like a house, but they won't see they are in a cage. And when they feel their partner's face, they will run their thumbs across their eyes and may be deceived if they hear them say, 'I can see clearly,' but they'll not see the fog in their eyes. So, the blind leads the blind, and evil keeps good under wraps. But rightly I say, I have come to let the blind see. And what ya'll will see will be the prison that some ya'll have walked in, and others have been thrown in. But do not worry! Follow me, and ya'll will see the light within ya'llselves. . ."

RP: The Nazhitak Culture

The arrival of Friar Ioannes and Zoe Szófia in Galati has seemingly begun to cause rifts within the Nazhitak of Rumania. Indeed, the growing Nazhitak populace has begun differing themselves based on the "level" of their devotion towards the teachings of their leaders as well as which leader they have followed more closely. For instance, following John Nash's release from jail, several of his "most devoted" followers met with him to discuss the inclusion and tolerance of so-called "Half-Nazhitak;" that being, members of the movement that joined solely for the promise of political reformation, not necessarily religious reformation as sought by "Full-Nazhitak." Similarly, several of John's followers confessed great dismay at Silvas' ethnically charged calls of revolution. However, in much of Magyarorzag's Nazhitak communities, the news of Szófia's arrival has largely been reduced to glancing mentions, the majority focusing on the impending reunion--and perhaps confrontation--between John Nash and Marrianne Silvas, the former of which has planned to travel to Komadi to reorganize and examine the extant his teachings after he concludes his business in Bekes. John reportedly did not comment on the 9th Parish Massacre.

Meanwhile, in Galati, the woman named Zoe Szófia has begun teaching in the slums and lower-class areas of the city, much like her counterparts in Magyarorzag. However, rather than speaking in large open spaces, Szófia has chosen to teach in smaller congregations: in apartment flats, private areas of parks, and on one occasion, the bakery aisle of a store. Furthermore, her teachings, while still very much in favor of undermining the current authority, have been in favor of not just one ethnic group, but any individual suffering under the oppression of Rumania's leadership. Szófia's message thus far has also challenged Christianity's mainstream theology far more than John or Marianne. And, perhaps the most defining characteristic of her preaching, Szófia has not made anticipations of the return of Christ, but has rather encouraged her listeners to follow enact her teaching here and now.
