Location: Redstone Castle, County of Redstone, Thyatian Empire, Isle of Dawn. SD Description: Delegates of the Countess of Kendach and the Baron of West Portage meet with Stefania and Anaxibius in Redstone Castle. They state that their lords are tired of the disorders that have wracked Thyatis in recent years, and are going to side with the rebels in hope of getting more autonomy. They ask the rulers of Redstone to join them in overthrowing Eusebius's administration on the Isle of Dawn. Stefania agrees to talk with Thrainkell Firestorm about the matter, and Redstone mobilizes its forces. (See Sv.10, Sv. 17; Ei. 9, Ei. 19.) What This Means: With the strange disorders in Thothia and recent Alphatian expansionism, Stefania is less keen on independence. After studying the terms of the Treaty of Helskir and the arrangement between Westrourke and Thyatis, she believes Redstone can get greater autonomy from Eusebius while still retaining imperial support if war breaks out on the island. She certainly does not want to join some Hattian-led revolt at this time, but Redstone does not want to stand alone, and if Firestorm decides to join the revolt, Stefania will go along. Eirmont 9, AC 1016: Stefania Meets with Firestorm. Location: City of Newkirk, Archduchy of Westrourke, Thyatian Empire, Isle of Dawn. SD Description: Countess Stefania Torion meets with Thrainkell Firestorm to discuss his opinion of the Crown War in Thyatis. She finds Firestorm does not seem to be the bold man she knew. He says he is content with his status under Eusebius and has even considered sending re-enforcements to Thyatis City. Stefania then reveals the plans of Julia Kendach and Periandra Docerius. Firestorm and Stefania decide it might be wise to discuss the matter further with them, and send messengers to call a meeting in Redstone. (See Sv. 17, Sv. 26; Ei. 19.) What This Means: The Crown War is causing ripples throughout the empire, and everyone is being forced to take sides. Firestorm's personality change is also evidencing itself again: he seems more content, not the ambitious man he once was. This puzzles those who know him, but most decide he is just more mature now. Eirmont 10, AC 1016: Rulers Consult. Location: City of Beitung, Exarchate of Ochalea, Thyatian Empire, Isle of Dawn. SD Description: Nurokidu Nuar of the Pearl Islands arrives in Beitung to discuss what action, if any, the island nations should take in reaction to the civil war in Thyatis. He expects Teng Lin-Dieu to urge caution at the least and withdrawal from the empire again at the most. If Teng advises the latter Nurokidu is ready to propose a federation of some kind to replace the Thyatian presence throughout the Sea of Dawn. Teng surprises everyone when he declares that Ochalea will fully back Eusebius with all its strength, and that the Pearl Islands should do the same. After a short closed-door discussion, Nurokidu agrees. Both nations will dispatch forces to re-enforce the rightful emperor as soon as they are able. (See Sv. 1, Sv. 21.) What This Means: While Nurokidu was travelling to Beitung, Teng Lin-Dieu prayed to Koryis for guidance. He received a series of dreams in response, filled with disturbing imagery: twin lightning bolts burying themselves into Thyatis, dividing the land; a black-clad figure cutting down humanity with a scythe; blood, fire, and darkness filling the streets of Thyatis City, spreading outwards to cover first the empire, then the lands beyond; Mystara as a burned out cinder in an endless void of darkness. Koryis sent this imagery after piecing together strands of information and arriving at a disturbing conclusion. Though things are not quite as apocalyptic as His apocryphal dreams portray, Koryis knows that if Heinrich wins there will be neither peace nor prosperity on Mystara, only strife and destruction. Thus an Immortal of peace urges His followers to involve themselves in war. On his trip back to the Pearl Islands Nurokidu receives similar dreams from Korotiku. Dreams with different images, but the same message. Eirmont 19, AC 1016: Meeting in Redstone. Location: Redstone Castle, County of Redstone, Thyatian Empire, Isle of Dawn. SD Description: Thyatian lords gather in Redstone to decide on what policy they should adopt towards the empire and the War of the Crown. Julia Kendach and Periandra Docerius are surprised when Anaxibius suddenly orders his guards to arrest them. Both look to Thrainkell Firestorm for support, but he simply folds his arms. The rebel lords are dragged off to cells, shouting invective and complaining of their betrayal. Meanwhile joint forces of Westrourke and Redstone march to West Portage and Kendach, quickly assuming control of both regions. There is little resistance, as the garrisons of both domains believe they are welcoming allies. (See Sv. 26, Ei. 9.) What This Means: For now those loyal to Eusebius remain in control on the Isle of Dawn. Anaxibius and Stefania announce their intention to lead a force to Thyatis City, to join her brother in fighting the rebels. Firestorm will assume control of the situation on the Isle of Dawn in the meantime. Ironically, this puts him in the position of dominance he always dreamed of attaining. Sviftmont 21, AC 1016: Acquisitions Stand Pat. as a result of these new events the cross-reference (See Sv. 10, Sv. 17.) becomes (See Sv. 10, Sv. 17; Ei. 10.).
