Heartbeat of a City

Despite the death and decay that Menaphos finds itself in, the Grand Pyramid continues to stand tall as a symbol of power and resilience against all odds. At the top of the pyramid, the ritual that was drawn onto its surface continued to glow alongside the desert sun. As it currently stands, both the Merchant and Port districts have been for the most part repaired and cleared of corpses and have continued with the important business that the Empire must conduct.

But our story takes focus within the Imperial district. The lavish and decorated part of the city with government officials, royals and honored guests take residence. At its center is the seat of power of Wushanko Empire. In the political landscape, the current sitting Pharaoh has laid down a very much neutral approach to conflict on the seas or distant lands. He will find himself once again able to act or sit idle as troubles settle down on their own without intervention.

Within the walls of the Grand Pyramid, a scroll has been sent up to the Pharaohs quarters by a single guard. Since the attacks of the undead and the summoning of the Anagami, Dayan has been for the most part locked up within his quarters. His health has taken a large hit and has been forced to take command from his desk instead of the throne.

He would be spending much of days signing orders and contracts to send aid to other parts of his empire along with signing and sending funds to the relief and repair efforts, especially for Sophanem which has been the hardest hit.

It was just a few days ago that he received word from Cain that a blockade was just discovered north-east of the Arc. This of course highly distressed him, the region has been enjoying a time of peace which was swiftly broken by a zombie apocalypse that has ravaged the lands of Gielinor. He sent a firm letter to the Elder Council and was awaiting a response back, that wait was to finally come to an end.

The Guard entered and placed the scroll gently on the desk, bowed, and then left the room.
“By Seiryu’s name, please let then not be a break of peace between Isafdar and Wushanko.” Dayans hand trembled as he broke the seal and unfurled the scroll. He read through it unknowingly holding his breath through the whole time. He at last gave a sigh of slight relief. It was not however all good news, the attack was on the Dark Horizon, an ally of the empire.

Again, he found himself on a thin line as he did some months ago when they have waged war against another ally, Kingdom of Varrock. When that occurred, Dayan remained idle and watched to see what occurred. It is a strange relation that the Empire holds with Isafdar, they are not official allies but have forged friendly ties. Much of it has stemmed when the elves provided weaponry to the once young empire when it was just beginning to unite the Arc region.

Dayan hit his desk with a firm fist and blurted,
“Blasted! How can I possibly respond to this without upsetting either side…”
he got up and began pacing on the balcony. He looked down at the city, the people were still cleaning up and many have been traumatized. The single wail of an infant broke through the chatters and sound of corpses landing on another. Dayan bowed his head, removed his hat and gripped it in his hand.
“I must do what is best for my people and to them only. We must recover beyond all else.” He returned inside and sat at his desk, took a sheet of parchment and began a response letter.

"To Grand Elder Thorn,
I cannot express enough my relief that there is no conflict between us. I have delayed sending word to the council to await your response for I could not fathom that your Kingdom would launch an attack on us. I am pleased that my initial thoughts were correct. But aside from that, I hope you are aware of our relationship with the Dark Horizon as well. If you are, then you must be curious to how our response will be. In normal circumstances we would send aid however we can but not enter ourselves in direct conflict. We stand by our neutral stance as we always have and will, and considering that the desert region has suffered much by the decayed hand of the undead, we more than likely be fully idle.
I must say, this has put me I quiet the dilemma. Word has been sent to the Golden Path council, though the desert royals have been mostly neutral, the arc khans still have an unfavorable view. I of course will humbly welcome you and whomever you come with to our capital of Menaphos. Perhaps we may settle things down then so that we may keep the peace intact between our peoples."


Until then my old friend,

-Pharaoh Dayan Itsu

With that, he sent off the letter by desert hawk to the elven capital of Prifddinas

Sweat pearls were building up on Xul’s body. Cleaning up the city had been harder than anticipated. The spiral staircase in the Tower of Voices was long as well. After some time Xul reached the floor he was walking to, the hall where the Elder Council met. Outside was a scribe, and Xul recognized him as Ailred Binan, one of the scribes for the Elder Council, and a man of high rank.

I wish to speak with the Elder Council ”, Xul said as he approached the door leading into the hall. “ I am afraid the Elder Council is terrible busy Xul. Come back later. ” Ailred quickly responded, barely lifting his eyes of his notes. “ Open the door ” Xul continued, taking a deep breath. “ You know the rules Guardian, only the two human representatives may meet with the Council directly ” “ I said, open the door! ”. Xul asked himself what this scribe thought was so important that he barely paid attention to the savior of Prifddinas. “ These are strict…
OPEN THE DOOR!
Xul yelled back, his eyes flaring purple and his knuckles tightening its grip on his staff. Ailred had no other choice than to open the doors leading into the hall.
Ok good luck

Xul wasted no time, and walked past Ailred into the council room. The Elders’ attention quickly turned to the new man in the room. “ Who here dares to override my command to the Crystal Fleet! ” Xul spat out to the Council. An elf in the room responded arrogantly “ We have to power to do so. ” Xul continued, “ The Kingdoms around us are being overrun by evil, I ask for aid in the south to solve it and you have the arrogance to send the whole fleet eastwards! Reports from the few we sent back says that the mission down there was a success, but at a cost. Don’t you see? Lives could have been saved! ” Xul’s eyes met with the Elders, including the Enerdhil and the Grand Elder.

Xul, we can assure you that this decision was based on a majority agreement within the council. ” The Enerdhil Elder spoke up. “ We sent what we could to Feldip Hills, and pray for what was lost. We understand your frustration. ” Xul was disappointed. “ If you would join or excuse us, we have important matters to discuss. War is coming. ” The Enerdhil continued.
Xul paid respect to the Elders, turned his back, and left the hall. He could spot Ailred’s satisfied smile in the corner of his eye. There was a piece of the puzzle that was missing…
Ok good luck

Loose Ends

"So I'm free to go?" Zidrisa stood on the other side of Rnoy's desk, the Archmage nodding as he lazily rested back in his chair. "Yes, I feel you will find great pleasure in working along side Mimring, he's much to teach." "Aren't you afraid that I might turn... rogue.. and go off biting people?"

"Well now that the origin of the undead menace has been done away with, and strangely enough, you're still here... figured that you might have just fallen to bits after it was all said and done, mayhap whatever Mimring had done to you preserved you from doing so." Rnoy shrugged and stood, walking around the desk, Zidrisa would turn to face him, "Is Sedridor fine with this?" "Even if he's not, there's not much he can do about it... But yes, he's fine with it... More so that you're leaving the tower." "Yeah, I bet he is..." She hissed under her breath.

"So how do I get to this.. Goshima.. was it?" "Yes, and don't worry, I'll be sending you along with two of my students to Port Sarim, that way those of the habor don't take you for an enemy.." "Smart." She would bow her head and make her way off to prepare for her journey.

Rnoy moved to the arched windows that gave way to the world below. Sighing he would look down at the scar on his right hand. "Well.. at least this damn thing had been good for something..." He had yet to inform anyone of the fact that during the battle, he himself had been nibbled upon by a plethora of zombies.

He could only credit not turning into a drooling cannibalistic maniac to the scar; that and the gruesome nightmares he had been having after recieving the mark, had now returned. Maybe he should go visit his old friend in Goshima aswell...

The Dragon’s Teeth


Ailred Binan shivered as he made his way through the narrow passageways. No-one was following him this time. He suppressed a smile at the impudence of the young Cadarn mage. Still, he hoped the admiral would be able to persuade her of the necessity of their mission. He had been impressed with her spirit.

The torchlight flickered on the walls, reminding him uncomfortably of the flame-strewn wreckage that was still being cleared on the surface. Nothing ever goes to plan , he reassured himself. Not our fault . He rounded the 13th corner and slipped into the gloomy laboratory.

He wandered over to one of the tanks, and shuddered as he peered through the murky enchanted glass at the mutated creature within. The things had stopped thrashing after the Guardian had returned and struck down their fellows on the surface. Instead they had taken to gazing balefully at anyone who walked past, perfectly still. Like a snake coiled to strike , he thought. Eight sets of glowing eyes followed him malevolently as he strode over to the black-uniformed Elf seated at a polished wooden desk, etching a diagram.

“Status update?” he asked him.

The officer didn’t even glance up. “I told you, we need more energy,” he mumbled.

Ailred sighed. “And I’ve told you that our operatives are siphoning as much as they can from the Kingdom collections without arousing suspicion. You’ll have to make do with what you’ve got.”

The Elf continued scribbling on his parchment. “Then you’ll have to make do with the next phase being ready in two years.”

Ailred felt a stab of irritation. He slammed his fist on the table, and the Elf jumped in his seat, spoiling the diagram. “Now I’ll have to start a new one,” he complained.

A new one …Ailred had a sudden thought. “Of course…of course! It’s so simple. If we could secure a new, plentiful source of energy, I could pull some strings…manoeuvre our people to be in charge of the energy tithes there…we could siphon far more without suspicion from a new location. If we did it from the start, no-one would know how much is supposed to be generated…the capital’s tithemasters wouldn’t miss what they don’t know they have.”

The officer finally looked up. “There are many locations near-”

“-no,” Ailred interrupted, his mind slotting the pieces into place. “Our efforts to turn the populace against Wushanko have been thwarted. But we still need a war to demonstrate the dangers the other empires pose. The Elder Council have been notified of a world taskforce assembling in the Feldip Hills…led by the Demonlord himself. It seems the Dark Horizon have committed substantial forces to this fight.”

The Elven officer began to smile. “Yes, Dragontooth Isle generates 60% of the Dark Horizon’s energy, if our reports can be…we have a large fleet at Daemonheim…we may never get a better chance!” His smile turned into a frown. “But how would we justify…”

The chief scribe smiled wolfishly. “Leave that to me…”
