>>6277131>BarzaThe reconstruction of Theodoropolis is no small task. Before its destruction it had relied on the steady flow of trade goods to build its homes, furniture and tools, but in this darker age it shall need to source these goods more locally. Geomancers set to work sensing the location of a sizable deposit of workable stone while more mundane craftsmen set to work building out the forges and workshops any city needs to thrive. Soon enough a fine vein of marble is discovered and put to good use supplying the city with both beauty and comfort.
Missionaries to the Adenic lands find a warm welcome, indeed a sizable presence of the Luxor faith has already sprung up here, and the considerable deeds of the Barzans have opened many doors here. Unfortunately it seems something is brewing in the elite of the half elven people, the upper nobility of the Adenai grow withdrawn and strange and there is talk of permits and papers to even enter the capital, already many foreign merchants are having to do their work outside the city gates. For the time the nation seems to be closing off, though the rural countryside gladly accepts Luxor as their elf lords turn away from them.
>>6277534>Krovian BandsFor too long the people of Grib have lived cushy lives while the distant soldiers of Krovia proper do the hard work of war and conquest. Meanwhile the people of Grib are sleeping on beaches, playing with their food, and even putting plants on their food! If the Krovians were more religion minded the problem would be solved with fire and knives, but instead Drevino opts for fire and knowledge. Stele of the history of Krovia, marked with the most glorious victories, and controversially the worst defeats of the Krovians. Sharkmen with loud lungs are assigned to holler the details at passerbys, explaining the more intricate details, and occasionally reenacting them. To pound the point of their glorious history in even more a district of new forges are opened up on the island to keep the locals armed and ready for the next war on the horizon. Curiously one of the stele is carved overnight, depicting a glorious last stand of krovian pirates against vizari wizards, though none can say who is responsible.
The Gladiator Acolytes of the Pulse Arena of Luxor find their metallic avatar staring to the west over the ocean, a most savage and krovian grin on his face. He issues a command to summon the mightiest warriors in the land, a great foe approaches.
