*below is a brief summary of the current war events so far
with some character and important thread links included.UPDATED JUNE 5TH, 2014
When the previous Grand Duke was killed by an
unknown mage,
Duke Calent Allarrick stepped before his peers and won them over as the new Grand Duke- promising to rectify this catastrophe and help rid Connlaoth of the mage population for good. At first, the mages were simply to be directed to mage camps quickly established in the North, most of which are either in or near the Kilanthro Mountains (that of which border Connlaoth and Hyoite). But as the war continued, it was becoming apparent the mages would not be so easily herded and rebellions began to occur, both within the towns and cities, and even the mage camp's themselves. Though
some tried to protest this peacefully, anyone attempting to speak out against the government was sent away.
All of the duchies fully support the Grand Duke, but as the war grinds onward, the population began to grow restless. To keep the spirits lifted within the noble class, the Grand Duke hosted a
Masked Ball, which had gone on with quite a success, and was a bold move to prove to the population that Connlaoth is still stable, despite events such as the
slaughter of Havanlaar going on, and now more recently, the
Fall of the City of Thaedes. These unfortunate cities were found to be in support of the mage folk and the famous General/mordecai simply known as
'the God of War' commanded both of these attacks. Both cities were decimated.
But
another event at the
Port City of BreakPoint made this town take to flames as an
unlikely group of rebels helped intercept secret letters from a
group of nobles who were planning to sell off some of the mages to foreign counties as slaves instead of sending them to the mage camps. It is still unknown to the masses that the
Grand Duke's Visor was behind this- but this is first among many large scale rebel attacks to remind the government they are not always in control- and it's people will not sit by idle while they are being taken advantage of during these war time travesties.
Swiftly following the events at Breakpoint, the capital city in the
Duchy of Allar had been
flooded, and the blame was placed upon an
unknown mage. It was not publicly known, but it was from the church's own doing who had been experimenting upon this unfortunate woman. She was also used in hopes to kill off two masked vigilantes (the
Masked Mordecai, and the
Shrouded Swordsman) who have been
thwarting the attempts of the church for some time now, but it was to no avail. The woman was rescued and taken away, but when the Grand Duke came to check on his home duchy, the information that the church might have been behind this fell on
deaf ears. He heard it was a mages fault and was ignorant to anything but her guilt.
But the Grand Duke has a lot on his plate. Not only did
a mage knowingly
escape from the Grand Duke's palace dungeon who was headed to the gallows for execution for attacking his guards and using magic to do so, but The Grand Duke's personal adviser was nearly killed when this occurred. And now his
wife is heavily pregnant, due at any moment with a child.
Now the population grows even more uneasy as eyes looks towards
The Palace to see what will happen next as rumors of
conscription, the on-coming
long winter, and more
uprisings are popping up all over the country, while the nobles go on with their lives, enjoying fine dinner and dancing while the city streets run red with blood.
