[Prophet]

175.4: Very well.  Itzcul takes the willing Manzčans to some of the uninhabited land next to Strelkar.

[Eric Blank]

176. Finding nobody around to dominate, the monstrous couple decide to kick down the buildings just for the hell of it. They loot some of the more amusing things, and then wander off. Soon they discover a thickly forested valley where they settle, furnishing the trees with their prizes.

[Prophet]

177: A Elkman trader visits the Manzčans.

[Edmus]

177-178: Prince Troy emerges from a secret passage and smites many beasts threatening the surface Manzčans. Once a small wooden castle was constructed for them to retreat to in times of peril he set forth to seek Liem, king of beasts.

[Prophet]

179: The Elkman are weary but not hostile of the outsiders and so decide that to simple ignore the Manzčans near Strelkar for for now. Itzcul creates a Magic Enhancing Crown made of Elkman horn then sends it to Prince Troy.

((The Elkmen pretty much cannibalize and uses their own dead's body parts. Just another random thingy. So how is everyone doing?))

[micelus]

180: In the years since the defeat of Itzcul, Andraste has steadily imposed the authority of Netanum over the Mezčans Mountains and Creshal. She has given the various settlements in the land nearly-complete independence save for a tax to support her forces and a promise to raise arms should she need them. She has organised her fortified camp into a city called Andrianople by the people; she detests the name. A ruling council of wisemen and scholars, called Druids collectively, carry out the day-to-day administration of Andraste's dominion. After years of her rule, the inhabitants have taken to calling their country Adriania, a name the Lady also detests. The majority of Adriana's population is made up of Wolf Men migrants and humans, although other races are not uncommon.

Jorgmund has left the service of Andraste, bringing with him several of her most experienced soldiers for an expedition to far away lands.

With the Lady's blessing, several mortals have begun a new philosophy of living in the wilds. These Naturalists have abandoned civilisation in favour of living as primitives, working with nature rather than against it. They have become extremely close with the Spirits and some have even learned to don the attributes of plants.

[Prophet]

181: The Elkman warrior Xerxin becomes the leader of the Elkman tribes. He names his title High Chieftain.

[Edmus]

181-182: Unable to find the great stag, but wiser from his journey, Troy returns to The foothills of Manzča.
There he reunites the disparate and feuding clans; by charming his name in truth they know him to be Leo's grandchild. The people hold little loyalty to Andraste and have grown in hate for the old queen, yet the golden grandson of the good king Leo was obviously blessed by the Heart of the World.
The majority of the people pledge their fealty, relying on Andraste's previous mercy should things go awry. Troy allows the Adriani to continue taxation while eagerly awaiting the response of Andraste herself. He slowly assembles the Manzčan army.

((just noticed I was misspelling my own Goddamn mountain name. ))

[micelus]

183: Andraste sends a short and curt reply stating that she has no problem with the Manzčans declaring a king as long as they the continue to pay the tax and provide men should war be necessary.

[Edmus]

184: Troy is well pleased. In the guise of a wretched crone he travels to Andrianople and studies the infrastructure, before returning to declare a city be erected to house the dispossessed from the many beasts of the world.
But his people are now few and number scarcely in the thousands. There are but a few dozen surviving Children that remained above ground.  Regardless, his people flock from their homesteads and lesser hamlets to build.
Upon declaration of the city Troy dons the horn crown, a king, and announces his intent to eventually retake the Citadel. For now, he prepares a ritual.

The wretched Leo, apart from the ground for so long, loses the madness of the deep. It is replaced by another desperate insanity.

The far flung Manzčan emigrants finally settle by a desert crag. They name the place Baratash, meaning both farflung and lonely. They are led by the remaining Children that accompanied them, but answer only to themselves.

[Aseaheru]

185: Egbert turns over on the space-beach-thing
       The Smiths finish their city with the help of the locals, and begin work of a new ship, one that can fly.
       One smith, while making fireworks, makes a cannon instead.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

186: Sernali moves those of his created races seeking eternal bliss to the icey rock planet that is his new found home.

[Prophet]

187: Itzcul begins to silently weaken the barrier around the surface of Manzča and Creshal.

[Eric Blank]

188: The Stonekeep Dragons, having erected their army, march to Manzča. There, they find an entryway into the tunnels dug by the Queen and her people. Descending, they eventually locate her and demand compensation for the pain the Queen let her allies suffer, under threat of death!

Thasian wolf-men, and many humans, unwilling to pay Andraste's taxes or worship her god and abide by her "laws of nature" any longer, and encouraged by the emigration of Troy and his people, abandon their homes, taking with them all of their possessions and arms. They begin marching south.

[Prophet]

189: Itzcul continues to weaken the barrier unnoticed.
