Chronicles of Faeheim ~ Fate of The Unknown

[The Midgard Times]

Caerulia Palace has fallen, as have its captors!

Yesterday afternoon, Caerulia Palace was stormed by Faeheim Forces. The team, composed of Cynbel's soldiers, Selene's trusty adventurer group, and even Altjyhra and Abyza, got through the palace grounds, which had been riddled with deadly land mines, and encountered Crocell, wife of deceased rebel Andromallius, who died defending Pixie's group days ago from the spirit of King Farmond.

Crocell was confused and conflicted. Her recent acts were done out of resentment for Pixie's government, who had imprisoned her husband, but now that he died for his captors, she wondered if losing her husband and potentially never seeing her children again was all worth it. The heroes talked her out of another battle, and she turned herself in, not before offering some words of advice: Don't kill Cimeies, or he will become a martyr for extremists like him.

With those words in mind, the team entered the palace, and took down Cimeies after a lengthy session of mind games and stalling from his part. Only Amdusias was left, but he wasn't acting like the strong powerful figure he showed to be in the past. He was resigned to his fate, to die in battle once more. The fallen general did not care to win the fight against the throne himself, for as he claimed, his message had gotten across to the people: Faeheim, and by extension, the rest of the world, will progress much better without a monarchy.

After a long battle, Amdusias was once again defeated, with Ezekiel Stalker landing the final blow again, no less. With the former general's soul presumably trapped in a dreamstone crystal Cynbel carried, and with Cimeies in cuffs one more, the extremist rebellion had been put to rest, but it wasn't over yet. Someone, presumably Cimeies due to his earlier actions, had hidden timed explosives throughout the whole palace, as the team soon found out.

Despite the utter destruction of the palace, everyone escaped unharmed, and managed to return to Caerulia with Altjyhra and Abyza's help. Cimeies was given 20 more years to his 30 year sentence, for his recent crimes, while Crocell was given a significantly reduced sentence of 3 years plus 7 in probation, due to turning herself in, and an agreement Andromallius struck to assist in the previous dreamstone experiment.

With the extremist rebellion dismantled once more, the rescue of Pixie and Lucretia is underway. We have received information just this morning that Pima believes her daughters are in the old Faeheim Archipelago, at a beach where she and her husband Farmond used to visit. Rescue efforts will take place next week, while yet another battle against the king's spirit will surely take place.

The next event will take place on Saturday December 1st at 8:00 PM EST! It will involve both RP and PVM!
