'That guy is getting his head chopped off' - Asteria
Denizens of Aeipathy, we’ve made it another week! We’ve had a barony added, new characters swelling our ranks, and we’re MOVING TIME FORWARD, PEOPLE! Feel free to dance, sing, streak in the streets! Do you hear that sound? I do. It’s the sound of time grinding forward and you know what? It’s beautiful...I think I may cry…

News and Updates
War is Upon Us After many many many long days at sea, the Colchian forces have landed in Egypt. In Blood and Sand we are finally going to see some action in the war plot that has been building for so long. With the large number of characters involved, it would be easy for things to get messy, quickly, so we’ve broken down some key points below:
Who is With Who There has been some confusion as to who was answering to who, so for clarity please see below.
Serving Under @tython /Vangelis Chaossis/Laconia @silanos @maximus
Serving under @maleos Eubocris/Molossia @phaedra @zosime @semiramis Mihail of Thanasi @dorothea
Serving under @veronike Magnemea/Megaris @damocles
Serving under @yiannis Lyncaea
Serving under @stephanos Arcanaes @timaeus @valerius @esdras
What is Happening?
For some ooc clarity to enable you to plot, a rough outline of the event ‘touchpoints’ is as below.
In Blood and Sand, Tython and his Commanders will organise their forces. They need to find out what has become of their Taengean allies - @ionas to inform - and confirm the plan of attack. The Egyptian forces have been drawn towards Alexandria to face off with the Taengean units from Judea.
Once they know what happened to Achilleas’ forces, the Greeks will divide into two main branches. Stephanos will lead Timaeus and Valerius and the men from Arcanaes to complete the original mission of the Taengean forces - burn the rest of the Egyptian fleet.
The rest of the Colchian forces, led by King Tython and the Stone Prince, will look to engage with @osorsen ’s forces in the lands outside of Alexandria.
Christmas Advent I hope you all have been enjoying the Christmas Advent! Looks like you have! We love those holiday pics, so keep ‘em coming! Thank you to our own Pammy for keeping that up and making it fun!
God Apps are now closed! Thanks everyone who submitted applications to join our ranks of immortals. Look out for an announcement about your new overlords soon.
Member Challenge: None of You Read These Anyway It is time for another member challenge! This one is a doozy, so I hope you all actually pay attention to these. This week’s challenge is to write one of your characters, for a single post, in second person. How did they come to think and speak in second person, you ask? I don’t know, but that’s the fun of figuring it out, isn’t it? Too high? Too drunk? Knocked upside the head with some random farmers hoe? You’ll get some points for doing it. Haven’t decided how many yet, so let's just play it by ear. Love, you friendly neighborhood Urit.

Member of the Moment: Pam Some of the things you’ve seen Pam doing and a lot of it you haven’t. Pam has been working nearly tirelessly behind the scenes, helping with literally anything she can get her hands on. We wanted to give Member of the Moment to Pam for her hard work and effort both behind the scenes, in posting, and with all our advent stuff this month!
Member of the Moment: Urit Awards Achieved SURPRISE! Two Members of the Moment! You also probably haven’t seen Urit’s work either, but she’s also been a huge help! She did such a great job with Nano last month and also has been a big help with posting and keeping up morale behind the scenes!
Judea and Bedoa have now moved into the month of Kawwal. Colchis has moved into the month of Apellaios.
Greece
Athenia
The Best Around Date: Posidaios, 675 BC Location: The Arcus Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: From high born kings to the lowest slave gladiator. Welcome to the Games! Hosted in the infamous Athenian Arcus, men come from all over the known Grecian lands to compete in these trails of strength, speed, accuracy and skill. Individual events and timed games are happening, as well as one on one contests! Did you set out on a long term journey between kingdoms for this event? These men and women might wish to bring their partners along. With large numbers of people congregating, traders and merchants are going to want to turn up! Especially those who deal in the... lustful exploits of trade. How about gamblers? Bookies and money crunchers? Anyone who studies the human body and wants to see the way anatomy works in action. Healers for when injuries occur. And general spectators who want some good food, fine wine and an engaging day out! There is almost no single reason why everyone could not be at this event! And trust me - you might wish to be...
The Song of Angry Men Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Inner Circle and the Palatai Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Chaos. Complete and utter chaos. That’s the summary. Or… well, fine. @sofia and Danae of Stravos might die. It looks that way, as they are getting carried over the heads of @hector, @demi, and @ariadne towards the palace where Rafail of Marikas called guards to save his sister (and he supposes his cousin too). Speaking of probably dying, @marietta is getting beaten to a bloody pulp on the ground after getting her little sister @hebe out of the mess. At least @hector is there to help her. @chrysanthe managed to find a hole the crowd to help the child. Are you there, wanting to help one of these ladies before they die? Or are you one of the ones trying to burn @elysia and @cicero’s home with @iris also there holding a knife (come at her!)?
Colchis
Edge of Honor Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Midas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Everyone in Midas gathers at the shore to set their offerings to the gods out to sea, praying to Ares and Poseidon, as well as the others in the pantheon, to protect their loved ones. Are you a merchant looking to make a bit of coin off those who seek the favor of the gods? This is a large crowd, including many of the upper classes. Are you seeking employment among the nobles now that the men are gone and there is much to be done in Colchis? It might do well to garner some favors here. And, yes, with large crowds are the potential for pickpockets and some drama. Don’t slip on the slick stone shores and fall into the water. Does a candle that goes out from an errant splash mean the doom of your loved one? Also...what is that moving out on the water? It’s coming right towards us!
Heavy Weight Date: Praratios, 680 BC Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What a surprise! Crown Prince Vangelis of Kotas lost his bout to Captain @damocles, and many are in shock! However, the games continue as the newly minted victor is called to compete against @achilleas. A new competition has started between @lesley and @maleos, both competitors sizing one another up. High and low born can come and see, maybe gamble and lose a bit of coin. Voice your choice! Hear your cheer! Shout for the bout! There is a lot to be excited for here as the competition wages on. Or, perhaps, go find a bite to eat at one of the merchant stalls and catch up with a friend!
Winter Wonderland Date: Karneios, 684 BC Location: Archontioko Kotas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a Royal Wedding Reception! Yes, things are a bit cold - maybe you are just now realising that one cloak was not enough? Perhaps you can huddle around the fire and start a bit of gossip. Commoners, this is a prime time to get your faces noticed by the upper crust - did you bring some food and wine to the event to make a bit of coin? Are you representing a guild or a temple and want to ensure your face is seen by the Royals? Perhaps, you are a militant from elsewhere in the kingdom, representing your province well by serving as a guard for the event? And of course, every noble, young and old, would never want to have the rumor spread that they did not come to the wedding - what an insult to the crown that would be! What was that? The children are still making war with snowballs, and now a high Mihail of Thanasi joins his cousin @tythra. Speaking of the Princess, she looks worried about something. Did little @essa get lost in the crowd, or is her mother suffering from the drugs that she had? Oh and look! @yiannis is getting in on the fun too. But now the trumpets resound for the feasting to begin - but wait...why are some of the tables empty?
Artemis’s Honor Date: Artamisios, 676 BC Location: Eubocris, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: As @timaeus continues his investigation, with several observers including @celine and @adelpha, new evidence has been discovered - a dismembered human phallus! In her mouth! Have you ever heard of such a thing? Who would do that?? And more importantly…..who is missing something?? @damocles and @semiramis find themselves in a discussion about the motives behind it. With the entrances to the city blocked in an attempt to catch the murderer.. Is there someone that knows about such things? Is it a curse you’ve heard of? Also, do the markings on her body mean anything to you? Maybe you remember seeing a stranger in the market earlier and you could advise the Baron for them to be questioned. If you are not involved at this point, any sort of crowd can draw you in curiously.
Taengea
Innocence Claimed Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Meganea, Taengea Attendance: Nobles & Retainers Way In?: Surprise! Lord @gavriil and Lady @evangelina are getting married! Despite the curiosity surrounding the suddenness of the announcement and the notable differences between them in age and such, a small ceremony has been set. Many of the guests are beginning to arrive - just in time to get all those questions out of the way before standing in the presence of the bride and groom. Weren’t their two houses in conflict not that long ago? Is she younger or older than his eldest son? I can never remember! Speaking of his son, will he make a surprise appearance all the way across the sea!? For an event that seems to carry the calm dignity that matches the Dimitrou lord’s nature, there is plenty to be curious about before the ceremony begins. @elise seems to be a visitor, oh my! That is sure to draw people’s attention.
Eclipse of the Heart Date: Posidaios, 673 BC Location: Maliania, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: There is no limit on who can attend this event which means anyone can bump into anyone! Already, some are having great luck and others not so much. Perhaps you get mistaken for someone else in the dark? Maybe you meet the girl of your dreams but don't know who she is because you can't see her properly? Maybe you meet your lover already entwined with someone else? Or are you just someone sneaking around to learn who has a soft spot for who? Or, as the court gossip, perhaps you recognize a voice or two - and make a mental note to ask some questions later.
Give Us Sanctuary Date: Apellaios, 672 Location: Vasiliadon, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: With refugees flocking towards the walled capital due to arrive any day now, the Order of Vasiliadon are enforcing a long forgotten law. They are entering the homes of nobles and confiscating their food stores, and are taking the goods of merchants that may be of use for the refugees. Already they have gone to the Condos home. Meanwhile @theodora is looking for @emilios or @xene. Hopefully she can find them soon- the capital can use a united front.

Winter Wonderland Date: Karneios, 684 BC Location: Archontioko Kotas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a Royal Wedding Reception! Yes, things are a bit cold - maybe you are just now realising that one cloak was not enough? Perhaps you can huddle around the fire and start a bit of gossip. Commoners, this is a prime time to get your faces noticed by the upper crust - did you bring some food and wine to the event to make a bit of coin? Are you representing a guild or a temple and want to ensure your face is seen by the Royals? Perhaps, you are a militant from elsewhere in the kingdom, representing your province well by serving as a guard for the event? And of course, every noble, young and old, would never want to have the rumor spread that they did not come to the wedding - what an insult to the crown that would be! What was that? The children are still making war with snowballs, and now a high Mihail of Thanasi joins his cousin @tythra. Speaking of the Princess, she looks worried about something. Did little @essa get lost in the crowd, or is her mother suffering from the drugs that she had? Oh and look! @yiannis is getting in on the fun too. But now the trumpets resound for the feasting to begin - but wait...why are some of the tables empty?
Artemis’s Honor Date: Artamisios, 676 BC Location: Eubocris, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: As @timaeus continues his investigation, with several observers including @celine and @adelpha, new evidence has been discovered - a dismembered human phallus! In her mouth! Have you ever heard of such a thing? Who would do that?? And more importantly…..who is missing something?? @damocles and @semiramis find themselves in a discussion about the motives behind it. With the entrances to the city blocked in an attempt to catch the murderer.. Is there someone that knows about such things? Is it a curse you’ve heard of? Also, do the markings on her body mean anything to you? Maybe you remember seeing a stranger in the market earlier and you could advise the Baron for them to be questioned. If you are not involved at this point, any sort of crowd can draw you in curiously.
Taengea
Innocence Claimed Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Meganea, Taengea Attendance: Nobles & Retainers Way In?: Surprise! Lord @gavriil and Lady @evangelina are getting married! Despite the curiosity surrounding the suddenness of the announcement and the notable differences between them in age and such, a small ceremony has been set. Many of the guests are beginning to arrive - just in time to get all those questions out of the way before standing in the presence of the bride and groom. Weren’t their two houses in conflict not that long ago? Is she younger or older than his eldest son? I can never remember! Speaking of his son, will he make a surprise appearance all the way across the sea!? For an event that seems to carry the calm dignity that matches the Dimitrou lord’s nature, there is plenty to be curious about before the ceremony begins. @elise seems to be a visitor, oh my! That is sure to draw people’s attention.
Eclipse of the Heart Date: Posidaios, 673 BC Location: Maliania, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: There is no limit on who can attend this event which means anyone can bump into anyone! Already, some are having great luck and others not so much. Perhaps you get mistaken for someone else in the dark? Maybe you meet the girl of your dreams but don't know who she is because you can't see her properly? Maybe you meet your lover already entwined with someone else? Or are you just someone sneaking around to learn who has a soft spot for who? Or, as the court gossip, perhaps you recognize a voice or two - and make a mental note to ask some questions later.
Give Us Sanctuary Date: Apellaios, 672 Location: Vasiliadon, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: With refugees flocking towards the walled capital due to arrive any day now, the Order of Vasiliadon are enforcing a long forgotten law. They are entering the homes of nobles and confiscating their food stores, and are taking the goods of merchants that may be of use for the refugees. Already they have gone to the Condos home. Meanwhile @theodora is looking for @emilios or @xene. Hopefully she can find them soon- the capital can use a united front.
