Daily routine.


The day after that whole mess on Earth, like every other morning, a clueless Timothy arrives to Dorian's property to take WonPil and bring him to work.
He waits outside for a while, but there is no track on WonPil, so he comes to the door to knock and see if something is going on.

Start.


As soon as Mortian is able to receive him, Edward escorts WonPil to the Palace, so that the King can speak to him.
He is not interrogated nor treated harshly, on the contrary, he is treated extremely kindly by the King, who doesn't even exactly interrogate him. Mortian is especially intrigued by what the young eastern did, and that's the only thing he wants to hear about.
After some efforts to put him at ease and reassure him, WonPil reveals that they only tried to make the war stop, that way, that they thought that if they took the supplies away, armies would be unable to fight and kill each others, thus the war would necessarily have to end.

Mortian is very touched by this. Thinking that a group of super young kids risked their everything to make the war stop, to him, is a clear sign that the people of Xhuanghen don't want the war, unlike their ruler. And since he is an Avatar of Justice, how could he just ignore this 'call for help'?
WonPil of course manages to touch Mortian in that way he always does, among the various things, and it takes no time for him to he seen like more than just an eastern prisoner.

The King can't send him back to Xhuanghen, also for his safety, thinking that the eastern would misunderstand and could consider him a traitor and a spy. At the same time, Mortian thinks that someone like WonPil could help with a matter that has been stormy from the beginning: the eastern refugee. They live in Heinmenhos, they went there by their own will, but among them are also other prisoners who can't be sent back and are much less willing.
They don't trust the northern, they are scared and don't want to have dealings with them.
It's close to impossible to make the refugee become a true part of the kingdom, but it's also hard to help them, since they refuse to communicate with the northern. Mortian thinks that someone like WonPil would be able to earn their trust and be a good intermediary between them and the crown. Something like an Ambassador of Xhuanghen.

In the couple of days WonPil stays at the Palace, Mortian talks to him about it and he, as usual, gives for granted he won't be good enough, that he will fail and do it poorly, but the king just tells him to do it regardless, that it won't matter if it goes bad, although he is certain WonPil will succeed.
In order to do well this job, though, Mortian thinks that WonPil can't just be in the Palace, although he wouldn't mind to let him stay there, but it'd be better for him to live closer to the people, among the people.
Naturally he realises that WonPil couldn't live alone in Heinmenhos, he can't speak nor read northern, he'd be targeted by racists and haters and thus be in many dangers.

For that reason, Mortian decides that WonPil should go to stay by one of his sons or grandsons. He selects a few of the most open minded and overall patient, kind and understanding ones, but to everyone's shock, WonPil asks if he could go to stay with Dorian. They even show him a portrait of Dorian to make sure he is the one he means and it's confirmed.
Although with some worry, the king accepts and sends WonPil to Dorian's home, with a letter written by him, to basically tell him that if he hurts WonPil or does something wrong to him, he will be instantly kicked from the Hunters and start a new life as servant in his Castle. And he can bet that grandpa doesn't joke.

Few changes for my characters.



1 Doctor Strange. He is not an original inhabitant of Nortrig he is actually the original character from comics the Sorcerer Supreme from Earth who sometimes comes to Nortrig to spend some time, get magic stuff etc.
His story so far will be reset entirely so he knows nobody and never interacted with anybody. Total new.


2 Carlie. I actually want to reset her as well. She never married Jack nor Thorin and we can say the boys they had come from a different mother or something like that. Can't say I am inspired to RP Frerin at all so I can as well erase him from story.
She never met anybody yet and currently lives with her father in a big island in the West.

3 Amiir. He was never adopted by Anthony, he is not a Riddle but he spent a lot of time in the North regardless. All the RPs occurred with him are still valid, he knows people and all. Just he moved to live in Dillon with his grandparents but still leaves the place a lot.

4 Sao Yung. He is not a Demigod but still all RPs happened with him and stuff are valid. Except he doesn't know Carlie and she is obviously not his adept.
He is General of the Assassins by they are a private organization no longer public and they don't even remotely deal with justice and respect of the law.

5 Malcolm never existed, when and if I will ever feel like to RP someone like him I will make him the original Dean Winchester from Earth ended up in Nortrig by accident.

6 Ezekiel. Still Werewolf Alpha and nothing changed with him, all the past RPs are still all valid.

Now regarding Riddle family  few changes are necessary too.
Being it the most ancient famimly of the North they certainly belong to CR and most of it currently resides in there.
But due to the strict rules, some are unable to. In the specific.

Timothy. For being married to a mortal human and having adopted a non-Auriold he was exiled from CR by the community.

Johnny and Devon. For being respectively a KoZ and a Werewolf they were exiled by the community.

James. He left CR tens of years ago by his own will and certainly won't try to get back now that he adopted Jessie.
Everything about James is untouched except that nobody can call him brother of the King now, for his joy.

Christoph. Exiled for having a Nimox daughter(Heidi). Everything stays the same about him.

I also decided to make Tristan Johnny's son and brother of Peter.

My Riddle right now.

>Francis. An elder and extremely respected member of, the CR council. Lives there with his wife Meredith and dedicates in spells crafting.
>Fabian. Nothing of him changes, he is 100% the sane, as always.
>Richard. Lives in CR with his family and still teaches in Malicedom (that is CR school only now, North will have its own.) and everything about him stays identical.
>Edward. Lives in CR with his family (as, as mentioned before, Xiu was never a Nimox so they are all pure blood Auriold.). EG unit is the actual protection and army of CR, they do nothing outside Crow's Rock, the North is patrolled by RG.
Edward is still their Lieutenant and Desmond their Major.
Everything about him stays the same.
>Benjamin. Being he a Gifted Potionist, he is the highest authority within CR for what concerns Potion Making. He is also professor in Malicedom and everything about him stays the same.
>Anthony. He is an actual crafted in CR dealing with the creation of powerful amulets and jewelry. He also does some mercenary jobs in the free time. Everything about him stays the same except having been king.
>Mortimer. Despite living in CR and teaching in Malicedom he leaves the place a lot and is the one in CR who knows the outer world the best. He is married with Absy and everything about him stays the same.
>Jackil. Reset. He knows nobody outside his family and is much younger that the Jack we know. He has just begun Medicine Academy to become a Doctor after graduating in Malicedom with 3 years of advance and a full 170/170 with honors on his diploma.
>Dominic. Still a kid (13 years old) studying in Malicedom and being a very good student.
>George is just a baby boy.

As for Tomiel, I would say that she is entrusted to Ezekiel and can say Cato lives with them too.

Oliver moved from CR to live in the East and follow his dream to be a Nai Huang Baos Baker. (XD)

Samandel is a captain of the Northern army. Rest stays the same about her.

Romeo. Everything same as always.

Emile all identical.

Shane always with Trist despite being a KoZ. (knights of Zivhur never existed)

Lihos. Same as always.

And I don't remember what other characters I actually have. XD

It's war again.


Peace, is never everlasting. It has been almost 16 years of full peace all over Nortrig, after the Baecho. But it is in times of peace, that countries have spare resources to dedicate to their own interests, in this case, territorial.
East overpopulation is a well known problem which is also what led to its neverending invasion attempts in order to expand its territories.
South, on the other hand, has never hidden its interest in new richesses and more resources, especially, gold mines.
It happens, that in the last years, free of problems and battles, both East and South dedicated fo explore the seas in search for new territories to conquer, each one for its own purposes. And it also happens that both countries find a same archipelago of extremely rich, unhinabited islands yet to be reclaimed by any nation.
Eastern arrived there first and set a base to explore the place, to check if it was fitting to be inhabited and it didn''t hide some unpleasant surprise. Too bad the Southern arrived too and actually exterminated the Eastern explorers in order to reclaim the new land as their own. The Eastern had not yet found out, the islands of that achipelago are insanely rich with gold and red copper.
Needless to say, the extremely provokative attitude of the South brought a reaction from the East, Choi might be young and rather good, but a number of innocent men were killed rather unfairly and as Emperor he simply couldn't just sit back and watch from afar.
A new squad of Eastern was sent, full of soldier, in bigger numbers than the Southern and of course, they exterminated the Southern explorers back, claiming those islands as Eastern territories.
And the Southern (new) King, didn't accept the thing one bit, declaring war to the East as a reaction. Truth is, the South was long ready for a war, their army full of elite and skillful soldiers thirsty of blood, all they really needed was a pretext to start a war, and they just got a perfect one.

After the Baecho, the situation in the North is still rather bad, the country is still way too weakened to participate to a war, even to defend itself from attacks. According to the International laws of war, written by the War Council centuries before, it should be left alone, but it is way too much of an appealing prey, for the South.
The only materials the South doesn't own (speaking of minerals) are Obsidian and Red Copper. The chance to conquer the North so easily and thus erase the problem forever (also for what concerns agriculture which in the South is close to unexisting).

West, mainly because of the fact the Queen is the sister of the new Southern King, for the second time in the history of Nortrig, decided to join side with South and attack the East as well. West and East are pretty much opposite in mentality and culture, which made the choice to side with the South even easier.
Generally speaking though, it can be affirmed that South and East are currently the main military forces and strongest nations in Nortrig and there are all the bases for a very long war that will not end soon, nor easily and it will probably have no winners.
What concerns us.
The news of this war between East and South and also the fact West decided to join side with South, worried Anthony beyond measure. Both South and East are allies of the North and the whole problems resumes in this: If North joins no side and one of them will win, North will be alone and next to be invaded. If North joins either of those sides, the country will be left entirely undefended as they would have to send even Royal Guards to reach 1000 fighters. And it is already too vulnerable.

Almost as soon as he received the news, Anthony summoned a inner council, to meet all the Lieutenants, Generals and important officiers of the North in order to decide how to act.
The current numbers of each military organization and unit in the North are: 175 fully trained and ready soldiers of the army; 25 ready Elite Guards; 210 Royal Guards; 88 Kings' Guards; 70 Hunters. A total of 568 trained and effectively ready militars. Not even close to be an army and far from enough to defend the country from an invasion, which right now is the main worry for the North.
Obviously, they need help from every possible source, but the threat is much more immediate than Anthony and the others would have ever immagined, as right while discussing at the council, a huge number, but truly huge, of Southern soldiers are already marching from the southern coasts of the Continent, with the exact intention of invading the North to also open themselves a second path to attack the East from two fronts, as the East is the strongest on the sea and it is wiser to send a massive land army.
A messanger interrupts the meeting to refer absolutely terrible news: the Southern army secretly docked by the safe harbour and in less than three hours a massive army marched on Weisslande and Kempflande. The cities of Crowley and Kempf feel within minutes under the siege. The way too few guards protecting the areas could stand no chance against organized groups.
The number of the victims is still unknown, but it was reported that many died trying to protect the city. The Archduke of Weisselande was killed, executed publicly in the middle of the conquered city along with a few counts and dukes. No news about Dominic and Mortimer that were surely there at the moment of the attack. Nor it is clear whether Mort was among the executed Counts.
The Archduke and Archdutchess of Kempfland instead, managed to escape the city of Kempf with a few survivors and reached Jericho for a last stand. Basically the last obstacle to reach Thylum.

Anthony knows they cannot protect the whole country from this and his first worry, is to save as many Northern lives as possible.
He looks at Reyja, Edward and Dorian. •The absolute priority is to evacuate every single person from the Shadowmoor River to Jericho, let's open them a totally empty path to the Eastern border, we can't obstacle them. Royal and Elite guards and Hunter go and take every single living person in the area to Thylum. Every village, town or city, every Nimox, Auriold or human, take them all here. • Then he looks at William and Samandel. •King's Guard and army, fortify Thylum, if this city falls the country will fall with it.
I want the Schwartze Kadel and the Special Squad to Jericho. If you can't repel them, just keep them busy as long as it will take to bring away all of the civilians.• He says the last part to Fang-Yi, then gives a rather desperate glance to Amiir, which is enough for him to understand what to do and he takes his leave outright. Edward and Samandel go to do as ordered as well, immediately.

The King's Guards immediately give the alarm all over Thylum, ordering all the people able to fight to join them, and the others to lock themselves into their homes, to keep the streets totally free from any civiliant.

Meanwhile, in the East, upon being warned about the war by Sao and about the critical situation in the North by Benjamin, Carlie sends the children (Frerin, Sigurd, Tomiel and Myrae) to Erebor to stay in safety with Thorin. Tristan is not at home but is actually somewhere in the North, for safety measures heavy spells were cast all over the country which makes mental communication close to impossible, thus she has to go there to find him, worried like crazy.
Anthony also tried to summon all the Alphas and the Demigods in the North, desperate enough to beg even them to help protect the country from this threat. Jackil though, ignored the call, just until he returned home from work.
Carlie left a servant there to warn him about everything once he would return and other than telling him everything. She even tells him that Mort was executed in Crowley, even though it's nothing sure, it's just what she understood. And that, together with the fact both Carlie and Tristan are missing and are in the North, is pretty much enough for him to take his old amulet -the one with the Dolash weapons- and prepare to go make a massacre in the North, frenzied big time.

To resume: Crowley and Kempf fell to the Southern and are currenly kept by a few hundreds of southern soldiers.
Carlie is in Shadowmoor, thinking Tristan went there to visit Benjamin.
Tristan is in Thylum instead.
The fate of Mortimer, Absynthia, Heidi and Dominic is uncertain as they all were in Crowley when it was attacked.
Wessex is as ready as ever to receive the Southern instead.
Elite and Royal Guards together with the Hunters are evacuating the citizens to open an empty path to the East for the South, to reduce the number of the victims.
Demigods and Alphas are discussing with Anthony about the terms for their help in this.
Jackil is heading straight to Crowley.

The Administrative Divisions of the North


The Northern Realm, is entirely under the rule of the King, but for obvious reasons, part of the administrative duties are entrusted to specific nobles as the King can't be everywhere at all times.

The first division, the Realm is divided in 7 "Landess", each one entrusted to an Archduke.
They are:
-Wessex Lande - Francis Riddle.
-Weißelande - William Lenscher.
-Deadlande - Viktor Jagermeister.
-Sturmlande - Kart McRaken.
-Kempflande - Heinrich Wilher.
-Tembraum Lande - Stephen Schmidt.
-Krulsekz Lande - Quentin Ternen.

Thylum is an autonome Province, big as a region, outside any Lande, Dukedom, County and Region. The area is fully in the hands, rule and administration of the King, even though his power is delegated to a Minister that is elected by the people of Thylum through public elections. The Minister has all the responsibilities and duties of Archduke+Duke+Count+Baron, for the autonome province of Thylum.

Crow's Rock, despite part of the Northern territory is considered a separated Realm outside the rule of the King, given full autonomy.

Each of the 7 Landess is divided in a different number of Dukedoms, Counties and Regions depending on the size of the Lande.

• Wessex Lande, being the biggest and counting a very variable environment, vast countryside areas, huge cities and the far northern coast, counts the biggest number of Dukedoms (67) and Counties (151), with an equal number of Dukes and Counts of course. Regions instead are 8, responsibility of 8 Barons. (Attwell being responsible for the coast area.)

• Deadlande, it counts 4 Dukedoms, 11 Counties and 2 Barons. It is the least populated area and the smallest Lande.

• Tembraum Lande, counts 45 Dukedoms (One of which being Timothy), 103 Counties and 4 Barons.

• Sturmlande, it counts 42 Dukedoms (Edward being one of the Dukes), 89 Counties and 2 Barons.

• Weißelande, counts 60 Dukedoms (one of which being Richard's). 112 Counties (one of which being Mortimer 's)  and 6 Barons.

• Kempflande, counts 54 Dukedoms,  79 Counties and 3 Barons.

• Krulsekz Lande, it counts 21 Dukedoms, 65 Counties and 3 Barons.
