Knights of Tezoth

- I'd like to believe that. Even though I don't know her personally, she makes a far better impression than many lords — in a very positive way. Hmm... - after spending a few moments thoughtfully scratching his beard, the Knight of Azoth snaps his fingers. - What if we station a couple of dreadnoughts in our mini-aquatorium, that is, on the lake? Or at least a patrol contingent of light vessels, something relatively affordable to maintain, but with range along the coastline. Given that the adjacent territories have become a risk zone, I think that would be effective. And we could establish a short corridor to Guildaria, a very strong ally. As if there could be no better time... I think it's a good idea, if not right now, then for the future — we'd need to find the time and resources. I'll have to bring this to His Lordship's attention.

Breaking away from his thoughts out loud:

- As for geography, I wouldn't discount that factor just yet. Even the mere presence of friendly forces and the potential territorial coverage is leverage. Ha! The picture is starting to take shape. I must say, you've greatly lifted my spirits, my Lord Candle. So let us finish this conflict as soon as possible, and in the most brilliant manner, and set sail! - the beaming Lester extends a crab. - And this fighter here could also use a breath of freedom, - a gesture toward the squire.

Stepping onto the olive lands, Rezara could not help but feel the tense atmosphere among the locals. After the recent events in the kingdom, it seemed no one could sleep peacefully anymore. But was it only the impending civil war? It appeared that Olivus, too, had been struck by misfortune, and when, instead of the lord, Lady Moon Shadow came out to greet the envoy from Swordgard, Rezara's suspicion only grew.

– Lady Rezara Sandroge greets Lady Alsira Vecchi d'Arcréde, – the envoy placed her hand on her chest. – Swordgard sends its greetings to Olivus. Our beloved Lord Transcend fell in battle against the monsters of regret, but his heir, Lady Adata, remembers the former friendship with the neighboring regions of Tezoth. And, speaking of lords... Forgive my impertinence, Lady Alsira, but how is Lady Ciel's health? I do not see her, and in light of recent events, I fear the worst...

By recent events, Rezara meant the chaos that had taken hold of the kingdom. Of the assassination attempt, she, alas, knew nothing.

— My Lady Crimson Blade, I am delighted to see you in good health. — Alsira bowed her head. — Allow me, on our behalf, to express condolences for the tragic fate of Lord Transcend. I confess, in recent weeks the winds have carried the most contradictory rumors, but now I observe that there was no substantial reason for them. A united Sordgard allows regions like ours to keep peace at night. I hope that the words of our reciprocal friendly wishes will reach your Bright Lady.

After a brief pause, she answers Rezara's question: — Her Goodheartedness is unwell, but there is no need for excessive worry. We are all awaiting her swift return in these days of uncertainty. Rest assured, anything you wish in Her absence you may share with me.

Mm, Olivus definitely wants to hide his problems from outsiders. Well, Swordgard isn't eager to share the story of Lady Nosi's brief rebellion either.

– I hope Lady Ciel will recover quickly and return to the affairs of governance, – Rezara smiled thinly. – For we have no time to wait. Turmoil has come to the lands of Tezoth! Traitors weave a web of intrigue, sky cities fall to the ground, entire regions fall into desolation! Our Deus Mariarnelia can hardly stand alone against countless calamities. His Piety, Deus Renavan, has returned from a long journey and brought with him new knowledge, new opportunities for the people of Tezoth. He is determined to help his granddaughter and punish the rebels who plot to destroy the legacy of great Eidos. Separately, we will not withstand the coming doom. But together, and under the wise guidance of Deus Renavan, the lords and knights of Tezoth will overcome any enemy!

Why sit idly in a small, weak province when you can rally under the banner of a powerful ruler? Without allies, even Revnland cannot be defeated. What then of the threats from the north...

— Sometimes it seems to me that Zephyr is stronger than me in everything, — Stefania nodded. — At least he doesn't complain about the surroundings.

Having finished talking with Glow, Stefania went to meet the Knight of the Wild Flowers. Unlike the previous two knights, she did not look optimistic.

— Hello, Sylvatica. How are you feeling? How's the atmosphere?

A future where Alaria seized power in Tezoth and banned Aconism

— We have indeed all witnessed countless misfortunes. — the acting lord nodded. — We have heard of His Piety's return, and it is pleasant to know of the helping hand extended to the granddaughter of Kanami. Is my understanding of the situation correct? I would not want to accidentally find myself in a difficult position... — Alsira sighed softly. — What exactly does the Greatest one desire from us? We have been, are, and will forever remain loyal to the Deus family, even if these lands are not renowned for the clink of coins or the gleam of weapons.

But Alaria does not deny the existence of the sun. She simply knows that a parasitic Aconian entity has latched onto it for now.

- Hello, Stefania. Me?.. I'm fine. And you? I feel that our feet should not have stepped into this world. I sense that it is not just unwelcoming to us, but mocks our futile audacity...

Yeah, not clear at all...🤔🤔🤔

I have a nagging suspicion that Revan decided to change the game mid-stream...

Rather, it's about returning this stage of it to its originally planned form, but which I decided not to implement because it required too many moves and calculations 😩 However, the diplomatic part feels sluggish without it, so we'll give it a try.

No one has a double vote, huh..

Adalard definitely has it, but he's in deep trouble.
