There's been little movement in the past week from Faeheim or their temporary ruler, Prince Pico, aside from intense search party efforts to rescue Pixie and Lucretia from the clutches of the spirit of father, Farmond.
As the sun set earlier today, Cimeies took advantage of Faeheim's weakened state to storm Caerulia palace once more, this time succeeding in capturing it. Together with Crocell and an apparently once-again resurrected Amdusias, they drove out all guards, military, and even the warpers from Caerulia. As with their last invasion, they did not kill or seriously injure a single person, and rewired the golems to attack intruders.
One of our reporters head for the Fortuna Tavern where Prince Pico can usually be found, and encountered a group trying to convince him to be more proactive as King to address the issues of Pixie and Lucretia's kidnapping, The Unknown, and Cimeies. She sat nearby to take notes, and managed to obtain details of the information.
After much discussion in which Pico was, for the most part, unwilling to do anything resembling useful, the group managed to convince him to act on the Caerulia palace situation. The Prince accepted the people's input regarding the next course of action, which was to have troops storm Caerulia Palace and take it back.
However, during the conversation, worrying information was revealed. Pico let it slip that the Unknown Chiefs Altjyhra and Abyza had been overthrown by the previous Unknown's leader. They fled their hideout and are currently residing in Carandel Palace.
At the time of this article, three different forces threaten Faeheim as we know it. Escaped convict, and nationalist Cimeies, along with former usurping general Amdusias, have captured the sky city of Caerulia seeking to establish their own isolationist government free of other nations' "interference" or input of any kind. Meanwhile, Pixie and Lucretia remain missing after the spirit of their father, King Farmond, took them, wishing to destroy The Unknown once and for all. And lastly, The Unknown themselves, beings from the Demon Realm who went to war with the fairies long ago, have apparently now overthrown their leaders, and are preparing for battle.
We set to the streets shortly after to ask people's opinions on the matter, and the general consensus on the street was that while they weren't fond of Pixie and Lucretia's stances as of late, they still somewhat trusted them to make the hard choices in these matters. Their hope is that they can be rescued as soon as possible.
The next event will take place tonight at
8PM EST. About 9 hours remain until then!
We'll be storming Caerulia to put an end to Crocell, Cimeies and Amdusias once and for all!
