>>6330132After much debate, Princess Katrina of house Linda wins the royal election, becoming Queen of Ordalan. Though there was concern that the Anelk Princess Elsa of house Redwing might take the throne. Queen Katrina will see to the strengthening of the military, and particularly, the people. Long have the church of Janos held sole claim to pushing back our curse, it is time that the church of Schwaerz find a way to do so too, and recent events may hold the key.
>Action 1: Gather the Thaumicite. Its power shall serve Ordalan.The meteoric crystal to the west seems to flare our power, particularly the fiery powers granted by Schwaerz. And Queen Katrina, a dutiful servant of Schwaerz sees this as the catalyst that will weaken the curse on our people even further than what the servants of Janos has provided.
>Action 2: Vermillion Wings. Princess Elsa of house Redwing claims the blade of Sasha the Vermillion Blade.While Gustav of house Redwing busied himself hunting the Piratess, his family has been expanding their influence, with his granddaughter Elsa becoming a princess of Vermillion Grave. Losing an attempt at becoming queen did not stop her drive for greatness, as she ventures to the Pyronix Sanctuary to claim the Vermillion Blade. She has grown up on the legends of Sasha the Vermillion Blade, and she has studied the blade for much of her life. She has seen many Nixen scarred by its flames, but when she tries her hand on the blade, the flames part around her, the sword behaves in her hand. With the sword in hand, Vermillion Grave fully supports the young Anelk princess, especially the Red Hoods.
>Minor Action: Improve relations with the Anelk exiles, merciful judgement on any pirate he finds.With little to go on but these exiles, Gustav would spend time with them. Bringing supplies from Ordalan and hiring local Anelks to build some quarters for him and his retinue, caring little for the protests of the Khurnaire. Another thing he does is investigate and mostly pardon the escaped slaves, even if they are found to have assisted the pirates. What little punishments there are is light, even reducing killing down to a fine, which he offers an avenue to pay off by working for him.
