'I wanna watch her British self get overwhelmed by excessive affection' - Kitsie
Hey everyone! Another week done of this madness that we call a world! Fear not, however! Aeipathy is here to continue being sturdy, solid and dependable. We are here to stay, for the long run and are so well established now that if people need to take a little time to be with family or deal with personal issues then they are able to without the world imploding. I love that we are now at the stage where we can be supportive of our members having real lives and aren't required to keep our members chained to their keyboards!
But I also love how many new characters, plots and elements to our site we are continuing to get. Aeipathy continues to grow and become an even more immersive world to be a part of! I love it! Keep at it everyone, and I'll see you on the flipside in our next broadcast! ^_^

New Challenge! Taking It Onboard Here's a quick little challenge for peeps! Have your character carry a heavy load. No emotions or mentalities don't count. They have to be physically lugging something about. They can be overwhelmed by it and drop it, they can manage to carry it just about. And weight is relative too. So, they might be a big hulking guy who needs to carry a lot on his shoulders before its difficult. Or a frail little girl who can barely carry a small basket of apples. It might be that the weight is difficult rather than heavy. Are they getting tangled up? Is water spilling? Is it purely the weight or are they injured in some way which makes it physically harder than it would normally be for them? This is a great opportunity to opening up potential for other players to come and help your character out. Have fun!
Announcement: New Wanteds! For those who haven't noticed, we have a ton of new wanteds hitting the plotting channels on our Discord! For those who don't generally frequent our server, I say go have a looksie! You won't be disappointed!
The God Apps Hey everyone! Just a reminder that you have one more week to submit your God apps to our admin account! Just send a message to our staff team to submit an app, with the following code. God apps close on the 29th June 2020.
[b]Favourite Myth:[/b] Give an example of a particular myth or fact about your God that you think epitomises them and your interpretation of them. We recommend reading a few different myths, getting a good idea of the God and then talking about your favourite one - why you think it's a good impression of them as a God/character and why you like it. This is your chance to tell us why you like this particular God as they are laid out in myth and history.
[b]Personality:[/b] This is the section in which you can tell us [i]your[/i] interpretation of how [i]you[/i] would play this God. The above is your favourite myth and how you see the God in their real-world/mythological context. We now want to know how you would then take that idea and grow it in your own way. What is their personality like? How are they as a person rather than just a stereotype or archetype of the God.
[b]Mortal World:[/b] Tell us how your God views the Mortal World and why they like to interact with it. Your God might be more hands on with regards to humans, or deliberately less so - different Gods like different levels of interaction with mortals. Detail how much influence your God likes to expel over the mortals and why that level of interaction. What is their opinion on humans? How do they like to mess with them/help them?
[b]Relationships:[/b] Give three Gods that your own God would have some form of relationship with. This could be Gods that have already been accepted and are a part of our world, or Gods in the open list. Explain the relationship between them, why you think the relationship is that way and how this reflects on your own God. We want to know that you will be able to rp successfully in the immortal realm as well as the mortal.
[b]Mortal Personas:[/b] Suggest two mortal persona ideas. You will not be held to making these - we just want to know your thoughts and ideas on how this God might be able to ingratiate themselves into the mortal world without someone noticing. Mention things like, what the character might be like, how they could influence the mortals, why the God would want to influence them in this manner and how you think they would be able to do it without people noticing them to be a God.
[b]Future Plans:[/b] Tell us how you think this God could help to develop long-term plots and mess with the mortal world on a longer/future term basis.
[b]Face Claim:[/b] Your face claim choice should be someone almost entirely unknown. We recommend models over actors. Our Gods should be able to appear just as the Gods - not recognisable as a character from a form of media. The model already provided in our Gods page can be used if you prefer, or you can choose your own face claim. If you've chosen your own, please list them here.
Aeipathy Olympics Our Aeipathy Olympics are also continuing for one more week! Make sure to get your skates on if you're wanting to submit an entry to the lovely cause of our annual festivities! <3

Member of the Moment: Dragon Dragon has been a stellar superstar this week. Active on the Discord, friendly to all and working hard behind the scenes to get new characters, new wanteds and a new noble house up and running! The next time you see the lovely dragon (who is not a lizard) say a big congrats and encourage him to get those posties done. It's all he now needs for a full house of member stardom ^_^!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Africa
Information on African Events and Provincial Stories will be in next week's broadcast!
Athenia
Lines in the Sand The men turn to conversation about whether or not the Senate will be opened through sheer pressure from the people - whilst the ladies that have gathered discuss the sighting of the Queen! The general hubbub outside of the Senate gates is tense and excited... @marietta sparks off the first bit of gossip whilst @cicero speaks with Lord @keikelius about the way matters may soon unfold... Athenia do like their riots after all. Location: Dikastirio, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Up In Smoke The estate of the Argyris household in Aetaea is on fire! Lord Rafail of Marikas has been spotted at the scene but here is no understanding to the commonfolk why this is happening! Aetaea is mostly greenland and is easy to set ablaze after a dry summer. What will the baron @aimias and baroness @iris be forced to resort to? Location: Aetaea, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome (who can viably get there).
Wings of the Sea The event hosted by the family of Nikolaos has gone a little pete-tong. With one Antonis lord losing his pants and his dignity in the drink of the harbour and a lady of Marikas now housebound for shame of falling in first, the disgraces of the early part of the day have at least passed on as the nobility and royal guests have been shooed towards their prospective seats in order to judge the competition of ship-décor... As guests wonder which province and house will claim the cash prize, the judges are asked to provide their verdicts... Location: Magnestis, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Wind and Rain Athenia is caught in the tail ends of the storms furthest reaching fingers. Rain hits hard from sky to land at a slanting angle, whilst the wind tears at clothing and sets faces streaming as Athenia sees the end of summer. Many of the commonborn rush to fasten boats and nets and cargo to ensure they get to keep their livelihoods once the storm has passed, and the upperclasses have also tasked the guards to aid the fisherman, as many are caught in the storm. @hero , @ismene , @hector are amongst the ones caught - but they had not expected the likes of nobility such as Ladies @hebe and @marietta and even @sofia to be around, and especially not Princess Emilia of Xanthos - who had been thrown off her horse. Now a fainted and dazed princess on their hands for her guards had rode off back to seek for Princess Persephone of Xanthos (who is doing her best to secure the palati, but would have been bested by the storm had Lord @elias not been nearby), the youngest Xanthos princess was in the hands of those around her, as three large cargo ships are now pitching dangerously in the strong winds, threathening to capsize and destroy the mess of the Athenian harbour. Location: Northern Harbour, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Birthday Wishes The festivities to celebrate Princess Emilia's 15th birthday are underway! The guests have arrived and already are making merry! The Lady @marietta appears a little worse for wear on the wine before things have even really started! Such scandal! Especially when all the royal houses are here to witness the celebration! Location: Arcana, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Colchis
Viper's Nest With the men away the women rule the roost here in the northern most region of Greece. Ruled over by the regal and highly respected Queen Yanni, Court is held as normal, just four days after the departure of the soldiers. And why not? For with the changing mind of the crown prince, the departure of nobles left and right and the strange series of robberies in the capitol, and was that a dead corpse in the Hall of Gods? As guests stream in, whispers fly, and it doesn't help that the entryway to the Dikasitirio seemed to be a point for Thanasi and Kotas to gather alike. The sister's of the Thanasi household, Ladies Nethis of Thanasi , Thea , and @evras had always seemed to be close, yet if one looked closer, one would see the tense words being exchanged along with wary looks, as Prince @zanon himself escorted his pregnant wife away from the court session. Princess Athanasia of Kotas stood by her mother's side, and the Queen @yanni is further accompanied by Lady @essa - even as whispers of Lady Thea of Thanasi carrying a child of Kotas bloodline begins anew. Location: Dikasitirio Chamber, Midas, Colchis Attendance: Nobility only.
The Fate We Bear The autumn in Colchis brings the normal trials and tribulations of the sky. Its monsoon season in Colchis and the winds are rising with ferocious speeds. The people of the capitol and most vulnerable, high up settlements are forced to board windows, lock doors and stock pile the food and water they might need to see through the days that see them trapped within their homes. Barrels and possessions are taken from yards and fixings on walls taken down and kept inside. The Colchians are used to this repeated pattern every fall but that doesn't make the storms any less dangerous a foe to face... Location: Lower Levels, Midas Attendance: All Welcome!
Heavy Weight As the fighting continues... Crown Prince Vangelis of Kotas is summoned to the first ring to fight @damocles in each their first bout of the competition. And another new fight for the next two competitors in the form of Prince @zanon and the Laconian soldier @maximus! Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome!
Fire and Brimstone As a festival of light begins in honor of Hephaestus, tensions in the city of Midas rise as followers of Ares begin their own celebrations, almost in direct opposition to those of Hephaestus’ followers. In the midst of all this, several donkeys have found themselves running loose. With careful coordination, Vangelis of Kotas, @maleos, and @nike have managed to take charge of wrangling the beasts while @myrinne, @thrasius, and @magnus try to seek safety! Location: Midas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome!
Taengea
As Autumn Falls A court session held by the newly minted Queen @theodora is held in hopes of encouraging more solidarity amongst the Taengeans amidst the death of the King of plate. Wine and gossip circulate the kingdom's ladies as they sipped and dined whilst they chatted. Lady @evangelina shows the Leventi spirit by standing up for her cousin and giving silent encouragement, yet it would seem Lady Theodora has much to fight against, as it isn’t just the new Queen, but the Leventi ladies who face gossip and rumors thrown at them from all corners of the courtroom. @basilides has made an appearance under the behest of the princess, and both the merchant and Princess @xene now joined the fray in shunning the gossips of court. As the sun climbs higher, shades and servants and brought out to protect the fairest of the women from the harsher rays of the sun, the ladies continue in their conversations until a loud wail started, and one glance would be quick to tell that one Lady Eoia of Argothia is apparently not as cheery as her companions around her... Location: Palati Grounds, Vasiliadon, Taengea. Attendance: Nobility, mostly Women.
These Walls of Stone The men of Taengea had left for a month, but with no word on progress, walls have been built and reinforced to ensure the safety of the people in Taengea. Taller than a regular ladder, they are further fortified by buckets and crates of oil and tar along with sharpened pikes on the coastline. All trees are to be cleared in the event of the need for military troops to rush to an entry in case of an attack, and the people of Taengea are restless in the face of uncertainty. Lord @nikolias and Lord Fotios of Leventi are both present to oversee the building of the walls, acting as leaders in the absence of a monarch. Lord @georgios had eventually come to join the other two royals as the Colchian troops arrive, bringing with them @maleos , Vangelis of Kotas , @silanos and @tython leading the Colchian army to refuel and refresh their victuals before continuing on the path to meet their enemies. It appears one such Colchian soldier, @damocles has met a friend in the form of @thrasius on the Taengean shores, who had formerly been conversing with @kyros …. Yet the latter doesn’t seem to happy to see their arrival. Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome!
Lush As the women gather to celebrate the festival of Demeter and Persephone, the smell of roasting pork grows strong as it is nearly time for the slaughtering and drying of the pig guts. As soon as the entrails have been removed and set to dry in heated pans, the pork becomes open for eating and the attentions turn to the crafting of phallic shaped roots and hard baked breads so in honour of the fertility they hope to bring to their fields. Just what will the ladies do with that? Location: Epirus, Taengea Attendance: Women only. All classes.
Prepare for the Worst As a ship of injured men is pulled onto the shores of Taengea, it is clear to the Grecian people that King @achilleas may not have faired as well as they had hoped. How will Queen @theodora and Prince @emilios now handle the situation, as the men are brought onto the beach for medical attention and a demand for information that they may or may not have... Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea. Attendance: All Welcome!
A Borrowed Freedom The race has begun! With Crown Prince Zacharias, @hesiodes and Lady @selene in the races amongst others of the province and visiting nobility, the stallion by a masked rider that is Lady Selene seems to be out of the rider's control, interfering with the other rider's! Lord @nikos watching the races from atop a tree with Lady @evangelina , along with the remaining Leventi girl's, Lord Fotios of Leventi himself and Lady @evelli from the sidelines. A quick race ends in a surprise - as Lady @selene takes the grand prize, her guise taken off as she shows her prowess with horsemanship! Yet, it would seem Lord Fotios of Leventi was not entirely happy with the win - for what would be said of the eldest Leventi girl then? Location: Macendia, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome!
Any Savage Can Dance A tutor specializing in dance welcomed into the Taengean palati has been invited to teach the younger, female members of the nobility, and Lord Fotios of Leventi has found himself with the unlucky task of herding the Leventi girls for their lesson. A gaggle of girl's made up of Ladies @evangelina , Dafni, Imma, Nana of Leventi along with the princesses @xene and @gianna, now dutifully attend the lessons. With music from a bard to accompany them, and under the tutelage of Lord Alekos (who now seems less then pleased at his students, although he hides it well), the ladies now begin to practice as their tutor has taught them - something Lady Imma of Leventi was trying very hard to do, but for a four-year old, dancing wasn’t exactly something that came naturally. And now the dance tutor wants them to perform for the harvest festival? It would seem at least Lady Nana of Leventi wasn’t having any of it. Location: Great Gallery, Vasiliadon Attendance: Nobility
A Lion's Pride The Mikaelidas offer a celebration under their matriarch Queen Elise. As the men of the family, @achilleas, Zacharias of Mikaelidas, @stephanos and @emilios turn to witness the entrance of the Leventi ladies with eagerness, it is clear that more alcohol may have exciting and socially dangerous effects on the young and the restless who have culminated here. Lady @selene seems to have returned from her momentary disappearance, and joined Lord @achilleas in conversation, whereas it is Lord @georgios and Fotios of Leventi who have found some privacy to have a brotherly conversation whilst their wives brought the brood of Lady Eirini of Leventi to pay a visit and greet the Queen Elise of Mikaelidas herself,before continuing with the festivities. Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome!
New Events
Blame Event - Colchis
Deep in the recesses of the Kotas manor are the servants quarters. They are finely made with hewn wooden floors, painted walls and perfunctory but well-made resources. The servants to the House of Kotas are not pampered or showered in luxuries, but instead given fine treatment in all that is considered necessary, to them. As most of the servants in the household are slaves, they live within the estate's walls in this separate wing of the manor. There, they live their lives as a satellite part of the royal world. They are even permitted to decorate their rooms as their own home would be, so long as they are kept in fine order and pristine cleanliness. The hallways are polished and seen to regularly and it really is quite a pleasant place to live. Except... in one of the corridors, seeping from beneath the door of one of the slave's bedchambers... blood leaks across the wooden floor...Read More...

Lush As the women gather to celebrate the festival of Demeter and Persephone, the smell of roasting pork grows strong as it is nearly time for the slaughtering and drying of the pig guts. As soon as the entrails have been removed and set to dry in heated pans, the pork becomes open for eating and the attentions turn to the crafting of phallic shaped roots and hard baked breads so in honour of the fertility they hope to bring to their fields. Just what will the ladies do with that? Location: Epirus, Taengea Attendance: Women only. All classes.
Prepare for the Worst As a ship of injured men is pulled onto the shores of Taengea, it is clear to the Grecian people that King @achilleas may not have faired as well as they had hoped. How will Queen @theodora and Prince @emilios now handle the situation, as the men are brought onto the beach for medical attention and a demand for information that they may or may not have... Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea. Attendance: All Welcome!
A Borrowed Freedom The race has begun! With Crown Prince Zacharias, @hesiodes and Lady @selene in the races amongst others of the province and visiting nobility, the stallion by a masked rider that is Lady Selene seems to be out of the rider's control, interfering with the other rider's! Lord @nikos watching the races from atop a tree with Lady @evangelina , along with the remaining Leventi girl's, Lord Fotios of Leventi himself and Lady @evelli from the sidelines. A quick race ends in a surprise - as Lady @selene takes the grand prize, her guise taken off as she shows her prowess with horsemanship! Yet, it would seem Lord Fotios of Leventi was not entirely happy with the win - for what would be said of the eldest Leventi girl then? Location: Macendia, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome!
Any Savage Can Dance A tutor specializing in dance welcomed into the Taengean palati has been invited to teach the younger, female members of the nobility, and Lord Fotios of Leventi has found himself with the unlucky task of herding the Leventi girls for their lesson. A gaggle of girl's made up of Ladies @evangelina , Dafni, Imma, Nana of Leventi along with the princesses @xene and @gianna, now dutifully attend the lessons. With music from a bard to accompany them, and under the tutelage of Lord Alekos (who now seems less then pleased at his students, although he hides it well), the ladies now begin to practice as their tutor has taught them - something Lady Imma of Leventi was trying very hard to do, but for a four-year old, dancing wasn’t exactly something that came naturally. And now the dance tutor wants them to perform for the harvest festival? It would seem at least Lady Nana of Leventi wasn’t having any of it. Location: Great Gallery, Vasiliadon Attendance: Nobility
A Lion's Pride The Mikaelidas offer a celebration under their matriarch Queen Elise. As the men of the family, @achilleas, Zacharias of Mikaelidas, @stephanos and @emilios turn to witness the entrance of the Leventi ladies with eagerness, it is clear that more alcohol may have exciting and socially dangerous effects on the young and the restless who have culminated here. Lady @selene seems to have returned from her momentary disappearance, and joined Lord @achilleas in conversation, whereas it is Lord @georgios and Fotios of Leventi who have found some privacy to have a brotherly conversation whilst their wives brought the brood of Lady Eirini of Leventi to pay a visit and greet the Queen Elise of Mikaelidas herself,before continuing with the festivities. Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome!
New Events
Blame Event - Colchis
Deep in the recesses of the Kotas manor are the servants quarters. They are finely made with hewn wooden floors, painted walls and perfunctory but well-made resources. The servants to the House of Kotas are not pampered or showered in luxuries, but instead given fine treatment in all that is considered necessary, to them. As most of the servants in the household are slaves, they live within the estate's walls in this separate wing of the manor. There, they live their lives as a satellite part of the royal world. They are even permitted to decorate their rooms as their own home would be, so long as they are kept in fine order and pristine cleanliness. The hallways are polished and seen to regularly and it really is quite a pleasant place to live. Except... in one of the corridors, seeping from beneath the door of one of the slave's bedchambers... blood leaks across the wooden floor...Read More...

'I wanna watch her British self get overwhelmed by excessive affection' - Kitsie
Hey everyone! Another week done of this madness that we call a world! Fear not, however! Aeipathy is here to continue being sturdy, solid and dependable. We are here to stay, for the long run and are so well established now that if people need to take a little time to be with family or deal with personal issues then they are able to without the world imploding. I love that we are now at the stage where we can be supportive of our members having real lives and aren't required to keep our members chained to their keyboards!
But I also love how many new characters, plots and elements to our site we are continuing to get. Aeipathy continues to grow and become an even more immersive world to be a part of! I love it! Keep at it everyone, and I'll see you on the flipside in our next broadcast! ^_^
New Additions
We've had new characters added to our accepted roster! Remember! The first member to start a thread with each of our newly accepted characters from new members get to collect Points! Give these characters a shout out in their relevant kingdom channel to get the plotting chat going! Just remember to give their profiles a read so that you can approach their writer with some fun ideas!
News and Updates
New Challenge! Taking It Onboard Here's a quick little challenge for peeps! Have your character carry a heavy load. No emotions or mentalities don't count. They have to be physically lugging something about. They can be overwhelmed by it and drop it, they can manage to carry it just about. And weight is relative too. So, they might be a big hulking guy who needs to carry a lot on his shoulders before its difficult. Or a frail little girl who can barely carry a small basket of apples. It might be that the weight is difficult rather than heavy. Are they getting tangled up? Is water spilling? Is it purely the weight or are they injured in some way which makes it physically harder than it would normally be for them? This is a great opportunity to opening up potential for other players to come and help your character out. Have fun!
Announcement: New Wanteds! For those who haven't noticed, we have a ton of new wanteds hitting the plotting channels on our Discord! For those who don't generally frequent our server, I say go have a looksie! You won't be disappointed!
The God Apps Hey everyone! Just a reminder that you have one more week to submit your God apps to our admin account! Just send a message to our staff team to submit an app, with the following code. God apps close on the 29th June 2020.
[b]Favourite Myth:[/b] Give an example of a particular myth or fact about your God that you think epitomises them and your interpretation of them. We recommend reading a few different myths, getting a good idea of the God and then talking about your favourite one - why you think it's a good impression of them as a God/character and why you like it. This is your chance to tell us why you like this particular God as they are laid out in myth and history.
[b]Personality:[/b] This is the section in which you can tell us [i]your[/i] interpretation of how [i]you[/i] would play this God. The above is your favourite myth and how you see the God in their real-world/mythological context. We now want to know how you would then take that idea and grow it in your own way. What is their personality like? How are they as a person rather than just a stereotype or archetype of the God.
[b]Mortal World:[/b] Tell us how your God views the Mortal World and why they like to interact with it. Your God might be more hands on with regards to humans, or deliberately less so - different Gods like different levels of interaction with mortals. Detail how much influence your God likes to expel over the mortals and why that level of interaction. What is their opinion on humans? How do they like to mess with them/help them?
[b]Relationships:[/b] Give three Gods that your own God would have some form of relationship with. This could be Gods that have already been accepted and are a part of our world, or Gods in the open list. Explain the relationship between them, why you think the relationship is that way and how this reflects on your own God. We want to know that you will be able to rp successfully in the immortal realm as well as the mortal.
[b]Mortal Personas:[/b] Suggest two mortal persona ideas. You will not be held to making these - we just want to know your thoughts and ideas on how this God might be able to ingratiate themselves into the mortal world without someone noticing. Mention things like, what the character might be like, how they could influence the mortals, why the God would want to influence them in this manner and how you think they would be able to do it without people noticing them to be a God.
[b]Future Plans:[/b] Tell us how you think this God could help to develop long-term plots and mess with the mortal world on a longer/future term basis.
[b]Face Claim:[/b] Your face claim choice should be someone almost entirely unknown. We recommend models over actors. Our Gods should be able to appear just as the Gods - not recognisable as a character from a form of media. The model already provided in our Gods page can be used if you prefer, or you can choose your own face claim. If you've chosen your own, please list them here.
Aeipathy Olympics Our Aeipathy Olympics are also continuing for one more week! Make sure to get your skates on if you're wanting to submit an entry to the lovely cause of our annual festivities! <3
Awards and Recognition
Member of the Moment: Dragon Dragon has been a stellar superstar this week. Active on the Discord, friendly to all and working hard behind the scenes to get new characters, new wanteds and a new noble house up and running! The next time you see the lovely dragon (who is not a lizard) say a big congrats and encourage him to get those posties done. It's all he now needs for a full house of member stardom ^_^!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Africa
Information on African Events and Provincial Stories will be in next week's broadcast!
Athenia
Lines in the Sand The men turn to conversation about whether or not the Senate will be opened through sheer pressure from the people - whilst the ladies that have gathered discuss the sighting of the Queen! The general hubbub outside of the Senate gates is tense and excited... @marietta sparks off the first bit of gossip whilst @cicero speaks with Lord @keikelius about the way matters may soon unfold... Athenia do like their riots after all. Location: Dikastirio, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Up In Smoke The estate of the Argyris household in Aetaea is on fire! Lord Rafail of Marikas has been spotted at the scene but here is no understanding to the commonfolk why this is happening! Aetaea is mostly greenland and is easy to set ablaze after a dry summer. What will the baron @aimias and baroness @iris be forced to resort to? Location: Aetaea, Athenia Attendance: All Welcome (who can viably get there).
Wings of the Sea The event hosted by the family of Nikolaos has gone a little pete-tong. With one Antonis lord losing his pants and his dignity in the drink of the harbour and a lady of Marikas now housebound for shame of falling in first, the disgraces of the early part of the day have at least passed on as the nobility and royal guests have been shooed towards their prospective seats in order to judge the competition of ship-décor... As guests wonder which province and house will claim the cash prize, the judges are asked to provide their verdicts... Location: Magnestis, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Wind and Rain Athenia is caught in the tail ends of the storms furthest reaching fingers. Rain hits hard from sky to land at a slanting angle, whilst the wind tears at clothing and sets faces streaming as Athenia sees the end of summer. Many of the commonborn rush to fasten boats and nets and cargo to ensure they get to keep their livelihoods once the storm has passed, and the upperclasses have also tasked the guards to aid the fisherman, as many are caught in the storm. @hero , @ismene , @hector are amongst the ones caught - but they had not expected the likes of nobility such as Ladies @hebe and @marietta and even @sofia to be around, and especially not Princess Emilia of Xanthos - who had been thrown off her horse. Now a fainted and dazed princess on their hands for her guards had rode off back to seek for Princess Persephone of Xanthos (who is doing her best to secure the palati, but would have been bested by the storm had Lord @elias not been nearby), the youngest Xanthos princess was in the hands of those around her, as three large cargo ships are now pitching dangerously in the strong winds, threathening to capsize and destroy the mess of the Athenian harbour. Location: Northern Harbour, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Birthday Wishes The festivities to celebrate Princess Emilia's 15th birthday are underway! The guests have arrived and already are making merry! The Lady @marietta appears a little worse for wear on the wine before things have even really started! Such scandal! Especially when all the royal houses are here to witness the celebration! Location: Arcana, Athenia. Attendance: All Welcome!
Colchis
Viper's Nest With the men away the women rule the roost here in the northern most region of Greece. Ruled over by the regal and highly respected Queen Yanni, Court is held as normal, just four days after the departure of the soldiers. And why not? For with the changing mind of the crown prince, the departure of nobles left and right and the strange series of robberies in the capitol, and was that a dead corpse in the Hall of Gods? As guests stream in, whispers fly, and it doesn't help that the entryway to the Dikasitirio seemed to be a point for Thanasi and Kotas to gather alike. The sister's of the Thanasi household, Ladies Nethis of Thanasi , Thea , and @evras had always seemed to be close, yet if one looked closer, one would see the tense words being exchanged along with wary looks, as Prince @zanon himself escorted his pregnant wife away from the court session. Princess Athanasia of Kotas stood by her mother's side, and the Queen @yanni is further accompanied by Lady @essa - even as whispers of Lady Thea of Thanasi carrying a child of Kotas bloodline begins anew. Location: Dikasitirio Chamber, Midas, Colchis Attendance: Nobility only.
The Fate We Bear The autumn in Colchis brings the normal trials and tribulations of the sky. Its monsoon season in Colchis and the winds are rising with ferocious speeds. The people of the capitol and most vulnerable, high up settlements are forced to board windows, lock doors and stock pile the food and water they might need to see through the days that see them trapped within their homes. Barrels and possessions are taken from yards and fixings on walls taken down and kept inside. The Colchians are used to this repeated pattern every fall but that doesn't make the storms any less dangerous a foe to face... Location: Lower Levels, Midas Attendance: All Welcome!
Heavy Weight As the fighting continues... Crown Prince Vangelis of Kotas is summoned to the first ring to fight @damocles in each their first bout of the competition. And another new fight for the next two competitors in the form of Prince @zanon and the Laconian soldier @maximus! Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome!
Fire and Brimstone As a festival of light begins in honor of Hephaestus, tensions in the city of Midas rise as followers of Ares begin their own celebrations, almost in direct opposition to those of Hephaestus’ followers. In the midst of all this, several donkeys have found themselves running loose. With careful coordination, Vangelis of Kotas, @maleos, and @nike have managed to take charge of wrangling the beasts while @myrinne, @thrasius, and @magnus try to seek safety! Location: Midas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome!
Taengea
As Autumn Falls A court session held by the newly minted Queen @theodora is held in hopes of encouraging more solidarity amongst the Taengeans amidst the death of the King of plate. Wine and gossip circulate the kingdom's ladies as they sipped and dined whilst they chatted. Lady @evangelina shows the Leventi spirit by standing up for her cousin and giving silent encouragement, yet it would seem Lady Theodora has much to fight against, as it isn’t just the new Queen, but the Leventi ladies who face gossip and rumors thrown at them from all corners of the courtroom. @basilides has made an appearance under the behest of the princess, and both the merchant and Princess @xene now joined the fray in shunning the gossips of court. As the sun climbs higher, shades and servants and brought out to protect the fairest of the women from the harsher rays of the sun, the ladies continue in their conversations until a loud wail started, and one glance would be quick to tell that one Lady Eoia of Argothia is apparently not as cheery as her companions around her... Location: Palati Grounds, Vasiliadon, Taengea. Attendance: Nobility, mostly Women.
These Walls of Stone The men of Taengea had left for a month, but with no word on progress, walls have been built and reinforced to ensure the safety of the people in Taengea. Taller than a regular ladder, they are further fortified by buckets and crates of oil and tar along with sharpened pikes on the coastline. All trees are to be cleared in the event of the need for military troops to rush to an entry in case of an attack, and the people of Taengea are restless in the face of uncertainty. Lord @nikolias and Lord Fotios of Leventi are both present to oversee the building of the walls, acting as leaders in the absence of a monarch. Lord @georgios had eventually come to join the other two royals as the Colchian troops arrive, bringing with them @maleos , Vangelis of Kotas , @silanos and @tython leading the Colchian army to refuel and refresh their victuals before continuing on the path to meet their enemies. It appears one such Colchian soldier, @damocles has met a friend in the form of @thrasius on the Taengean shores, who had formerly been conversing with @kyros …. Yet the latter doesn’t seem to happy to see their arrival. Location: Isle of Serenn, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome!
Lush As the women gather to celebrate the festival of Demeter and Persephone, the smell of roasting pork grows strong as it is nearly time for the slaughtering and drying of the pig guts. As soon as the entrails have been removed and set to dry in heated pans, the pork becomes open for eating and the attentions turn to the crafting of phallic shaped roots and hard baked breads so in honour of the fertility they hope to bring to their fields.

A Borrowed Freedom The race has begun! With Crown Prince Zacharias, @hesiodes and Lady @selene in the races amongst others of the province and visiting nobility, the stallion by a masked rider that is Lady Selene seems to be out of the rider's control, interfering with the other rider's! Lord @nikos watching the races from atop a tree with Lady @evangelina , along with the remaining Leventi girl's, Lord Fotios of Leventi himself and Lady @evelli from the sidelines. A quick race ends in a surprise - as Lady @selene takes the grand prize, her guise taken off as she shows her prowess with horsemanship! Yet, it would seem Lord Fotios of Leventi was not entirely happy with the win - for what would be said of the eldest Leventi girl then? Location: Macendia, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome!
Any Savage Can Dance A tutor specializing in dance welcomed into the Taengean palati has been invited to teach the younger, female members of the nobility, and Lord Fotios of Leventi has found himself with the unlucky task of herding the Leventi girls for their lesson. A gaggle of girl's made up of Ladies @evangelina , Dafni, Imma, Nana of Leventi along with the princesses @xene and @gianna, now dutifully attend the lessons. With music from a bard to accompany them, and under the tutelage of Lord Alekos (who now seems less then pleased at his students, although he hides it well), the ladies now begin to practice as their tutor has taught them - something Lady Imma of Leventi was trying very hard to do, but for a four-year old, dancing wasn’t exactly something that came naturally.
