Year 10,011 Month of Nivalis Well...that happened. Arbrestor has been completely wiped clean. And by clean, I mean that it is rumored a soldier from Timothy's infected army has come through and slaughtered the last living souls that were trying to rebuild. Now, Arbrestor is a completely empty city, waiting to be rebuilt. The King swiftly found out about the act, and after sending soldiers to make sure it was safe, sent out a notice to the people of Simul. In Fortescue fashion, a home and land was offered to anyone who came to rebuild.

Dissilio 5th, 10,1017 Taken from BREAKING NEWS: It is my displeasure to bring the most current news to Simul. As much as I would love to not have to relay this information, it is my duty to keep you all informed and as safe as I can. With that, I must weave together the details of last night’s horrors.  Before the sun began to descend, something else fell upon our great kingdom. From what we can gather, the first attack was in Korrig. Despite the docks already having taken a major hit, it appears the assailants decided they needed to come back to finish the job. Unfortunately, the structures are a complete loss. Even worse, it has been reported that more than 20 people are still missing while the casualties are nearing the same number and injuries have topped 33.  From what we can tell, the next attack was shortly thereafter in Timberholde. Every city entrance was reportedly blown apart and virtually sealing the city inside of itself. This also included grave damage to the newest addition, the train. The station and surrounding area have been destroyed beyond repair. Casualties have reached 67, more than 40 have been injured and another 17 are still missing.  Another attack mere hours after came in the form of another explosion. This one took out the entirety of the bridge from the mainland to Curet Insula. No fatalities have been reported, but it has only been a few hours since receiving the news and searches are still in effect.  I wish I could say that I have reported everything. I wish I could tell you great people that we can recover from this. I wish I had the magic words…something to give you all hope. Unfortunately, with this last piece of information I have to bear, I cannot fathom how we are to unite. At just past 8 last night, Eleutheria and our royal family was attacked. According to the guards and surviving staff, nothing was out of the ordinary until they heard Hilda scream and then what sounded like a man being tortured. This man is assumed to be King Alfred. Apparently, shortly after, a fire broke out, causing many of the people who also lived in the castle to flee with little to nothing to the second story of the city. Still, 13 are missing and feared dead. The royal family was never located, even after the fire was quelled.  There was but a note left at the scene. This note had a confession and confessions to more crimes that were, unfortunately, confirmed this morning. The entire Fortescue bloodline has been murdered. Sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandfathers and grandmothers… all of the bloodline has been taken from Simul in the most horrid of ways. I cannot even begin to write what information I have been given.  Simul…please. PLEASE be safe. I know we are now living in a very uncertain time. I have faith that we will be okay. Please, look after yourselves, your families, your neighbors and your cities.  This is Flynn, signing off.

Year 10,012 Month of Ceres An unexpected quake has lead to the uncovering of a portal located near the Southern coast. Low and behold! It worked! Cautiously, some of the land dwellers made their way inside only to discover the long hidden people of Arcanus Aecor. Though private, they were very welcoming. Now a part of Simul, the portals have been fully repaired.

Year 10,011 Month of Dissilio The giggle plague has been eradicated! The king personally thanks all who contributed to killing the little fuzz balls from the land. All are safe and welcome to come by Astu Aether!

Year 10,012 Month of Ceres With the mess created, it seems Timothy Slade has taken notice. Coming to the city himself, the town has been cleared. Leaving a rather large crater to the middle. Those who witnessed the event have rumored that it was Timothy himself that destroyed what was left, leaving those alive still breathing. Others have whispered that it was a "weapon" of his. No one is quite sure, but silently and reluctantly give thanks to the once revered mad man for "saving" them from something worse. The King, having heard of the eradication of Sidisi, has put out a notice of aide. He has sent some of his mages to the city to help rebuilding, offering anyone who does rebuild, a home.

Year 10,017 Month of Bruma BREAKING NEWS (From Simul Quarterly) Yet another sad story. This one out of Korrig Harbor City. It was reported two hours ago that a group of four people (Three men and one woman) were witnessed setting a blaze to three docks on the ocean. Not only were the docks destroyed, but various ships, costing the victims hundreds of thousands of coin. Authorities have no announced how many casualties, if any, but there have been reports of upwards of fifteen people missing or not accounted for. After putting together all witness statements, our crew has drawn, to the best of their abilities, what the perpatrators may have looked like. It is asked, if anyone has any other information, to contact your local authorities. All donations or any able bodied individuals who would like to help, please visit Korrig and head on over to Dock's Harbor. The owner has been organizing relief efforts and can instruct you on how to best aide. This is Flynn, signing off...

BREAKING NEWS (Taken from Simul Quarterly) Ver 21st, 10,017 It does not bring any ounce of joy to report on this story today, Simul. We just got word that there was yet ANOTHER random attack on our great kingdom. Astu Aether's portal tree, that sits on the southern coast of Simul, that also allows for easier travel to the floating city, has been the victim of arson. From what information we have gathered and statements provided by witnesses, it seems that a singular man, heavily robed in dark clothing had come in the night to set the bottom of the tree on fire. Some sort of fluid had been used which is what caused most of the damage. The only good news is that there WERE witnesses that were able to extinguish the flames before the tree was unsalvageable. The city leader of Astu Aether has put out a statement regarding the issue: "My people and my city are my first priority when it comes to safety. For the foreseeable future, we will be positioning guards at the tree that will take personal information for all those coming and going from Astu Aether. Please have a little patience. We are doing this for the safety of everyone." We here at Coexisting Connections send our best. This is Flynn, signing off.

Year 10,017, Month of Bruma BREAKING NEWS (Copied from Simul Quarterly) Sad news out of Tranquillum today. Every year, tens of thousands of Similuams look forward to one of our most coveted holidays: Lux Amare. This year, something awful has happened. Various witnesses have come forth to describe a horrid scene of assailants murdering the Cor. Not just killing them, but petrifying them, only halfway. Many of the statements we cannot repeat here at Coexisting Connections. We do have a photo submitted by a long time listener and an unfortunate witness to the events. Please, look on only if you must. (Image can be viewd on article) According to stories, a darkly shrouded individual ran through the forest that is Tranquillum, stopping at every Cor they saw, and used some sort of magical fog emit from their fingers. Once this 'fog' reached the innocent animals, they were...'frozen'. This can only be described as a 'half attempt at turning them into stone'. Now, we have no proof that all of these instances are connected in any way, but by the sounds of some of the statements, it may just be possible. Please folks, stay safe out there. If you see something, say something. This is Flynn, signing off.

Year 10,012 Month of Ceres Yet another massive earthquake has hit Simul. Two portals were uncovered from thousands of years of land mass motion. After discovery, it was found that there was a massive underground city that had yet to see the light of day in hundreds of generations. The people are welcoming, but lack a lot of social skills.

Years 10,012 Month of Nivalis Quick work has been made to Korrig. It did not take long for those looking for new homes and those who had once called the harbor city home to rebuild and restore Korrig. It is not functioning and home to old and new.

With the recent attacks, The leader of Astu Aether has been requested to move the city itself to a safe location. With the help of the mages sent by the King, Astu Aether has successfully relocated their city to the Western Coast.

Year 10,014 Month of Stirps After many weeks of rebuilding and burying the dead, Timberholde has been rebuilt by its own citizens. Though it is large and in charge as it was before, the population has steeply dropped. This does make the home prices low, in hopes that more populated areas and visitors from other lands will choose to make Timberholde their home.
