The Siege of Aster Malik recounts a crisis that began at a festival in 977 AF, when a salvaged Shallamese warship brought the long-forgotten Mysian Rot back into the world. With victims dying and ancient cures thought extinct, a stroke of fortune produced a small cache of preserved royal lemons. Regent Aerek distributed them carefully among researchers and allies, hoping to find a cure.
On the 19th of Lupar, year 1003, Myrddin D'Ischai recounted before an assembled audience the events surrounding Lady Aurora's gravely wounding at the hands of Pazuzu, who turned the War Veil and three Divine weapons against Aurora, Deucalion, and Prospero when They moved to bring Him to justice. To answer that wound, Atalkez Al'Jafri was raised as Avatar of the Lightbringer and gave his life willingly, while Myrddin channeled every measure of Aurora's essence from his Scintilla into him before the rite. The sacrifice called forth a Greater Phoenix that shook mountains, lit the heavens, and burned the soldiers of the Eldritch Empire in Ashtan to ash before proceeding to Aurora and healing Her.
Cyrene expanded into Ka'doloki at Lord Neraeos's command, and when a tritonic guard slew a fisherman named Renu, Cyrenians worked to make amends, culminating in a funeral, a sculpted memorial, and a public punishment by salt whip. In the charged aftermath of that sentence, Elder Nhamdi declared the triton deserved his fate, and Neraeos struck the Elder dead before the statue, slaying most of the village besides and shattering the Paragon's sworn promise of protection. Time passed, wounds were tended, and the Lord eventually returned to heal what He had broken, but the port now stands beside a village that will never be what it was.
A solemn knight recounts a chilling summons where he and his order were unknowingly judged by an ancient, unseen standard rooted in their lineage. Though deemed merely “adequate,” the judgment affirms that their legacy still holds, and that their actions in obscurity mattered. The Vigil they are granted is not an honour, but a sacred obligation to uphold the watch kept by those who came before.
You have heard of the Self-Made Himself, the Patron of Heroes, the One who seized Divinity with unbroken determination. We all know the end of this story. But as He would say, victory is but a hollow echo compared to the blood spilled in pursuit of it.
