+==== The Raze of Centralia and the One With A Thousand Eyes ====
+=== 04/12/10079 ===
+//An article published by the Centralia Guardian://
-> After aiding Count Lekira of the Spring Court, a party of adventurers were able to complete a greatly empowered Spirit Snare over the entirety of Centralia City. The snare was able to forcibly remove the divine influences the strange At'enites, now associated with a being called "The One With a Thousand Eyes," had over the citizens of Prall. With the citizens returned to normal, the city of Centralia has been made safe again, allowing the Centralia Mages' Guild and the Centralian Lords to return and resume normal business within the next few days((With shifting markets and repairs underway, the Centralia Mages' Guild (CMG) will be re-establishing their goods and services with updated prices, to be released soon. In the interim, it can be used to purchase prep or provide services at GM discretion using the previous documents.)).
+> As we all know, beginning nearly a month ago, people across the world started becoming more lax, day-dreaming. Some who fell to this "illness" report having dreams of seeing a large "blue moon." This effect became more and more pronounced, and has hit the factory-town of Prall on our great island the hardest, an estimated 75% of the population becoming increasingly lethargic. This had an unprecedented effect on the iron production of Prall, which had closed its foundries in the first time since their opening. However, it appears that this illness has passed, in no small part to the contribution and goodwill of the Archer, Shaylyn, and Cromwell families, but the work still does not resume at its ordinary pace. At this time, the Centralian nobility assures the public that production rates will stabalize back to normal soon, and that there is no need for worry, all is well.
-> However, at the behest of Count Lekira of the Spring Court, both the Prallian party, Centralian Lords, and the adventuring party were gathered together to decide and resolve the issues between the city of Prall and Centralia City, as continued tension would only lead to further disasters. It is reported that the adventurers were able to sway the Centralian Lords to give into the demands of the Prallian Party. Thus, as of today, the city of Prall is now an independent city-state led by the Prallian Party and Vicaria Steins has been elected the first chancellor of Prall. All charges against the Prallian citizens were dropped and they were allowed to return home.
+//A manifesto from a group calling themselves "The Prallian Party" has been distributed around the same time as the article above. Notable excerpts are provided://
-> As part of the negotiation, Centralia and Prall have now entered into a trade agreement allowing Centralia to import Prallian goods, notably iron and steel goods, but at market prices set up by Prall.
+> We are the Prallian Party, and we hereby make our voices heard! Too long have we suffered under the heel of the so-called philantropists of Centralia City, with its gleaming facades scrubbed clean by the calloused hands of the people of Prall. Too long have their spit-shined boots rested on the backs of the people of Prall...
-> In additional news, the T'orite Enclave in Centralia City has suffered severe damage and is currently under repair. It appears that, in addition to damage to the structure, internal documents, evidence, and supplies may also be damaged, missing, or tampered with. The responsible party has not yet been found. While the Enclave will be back up within a week, full repairs to the structure may a few months.
+> ...under the leadership of Vicaria Steins, we make our demands known, trumpeted across the Rhine so all can hear our voice and know our names. Not only do we demand an increase to the minimum wage for **all** citizens across Centralia, we demand that Prall separate itself from the chains of Centralia City and be recognized as its own self-governed and independant city-state, and granted the political and diplomatic rights laid below...

-//A report from the Centralia Guardian://
-> As mysteriously as the planet-wide blizzard began, the wind begins to die down, and the snowfall abates. The clouds part and the sun breaks through once again, quickly warming everything up. It will take some time, as the air and water are all still quite cold, but the warmer seasons are quickly asserting themselves.
+//It is rumored that the high lords and nobility of Centralia are coming together for a meeting on how to best deal with this development, and reports of protests have erupted across Prall. While no violence has started, it has the potential to boil over.//

+//A series of daily reports from the island of Centralia documenting the raze of Centralia City://
-> Things are going to be wet and muddy for a while as the snow melts and normal weather patterns assert themselves again. The priesthood of Osiris is out in force, using their magic and abilities to jump-start the growing of crops, and will continue to work with farmers until harvest time.
+> 4/19/10079. A dark cloud spreads from the carnival near the city of Prall. Reports of a disaster spread fast, a being released from the dreaming into Jaern. Within a singular day, it seems to have gained control of the city, extra tattoo's of eyes appearing on those who pledge allegiance to it, along with unseen powers. An army having been amassed, they marched on Centralia. Scouts and mages ahead of time were able to warn the denizens of the city of the incoming army, but they were unable to stop it. Not a single casualty was reported of this force. Eye witnesses say that it was being led by a small flock of At'enites, but it has been hard to verify, as they are always in wait for any who might try to interfere with them.
-> Accompanying the first lessening of the winds, an odd wave of energy crosses the entire planet, filling every living being with the desire to create life. It is not a compulsion, and no one is forced into any action. It's just a good feeling that washes over everyone and everything. The animal live is reacting to the sensation with fervor.
+> 4/20/10079. The city of Centralia has been abandoned and razed by this invading force. Black smoke can be seen billowing up into the sky, with a singular large eye in the clouds over the city. Torites have been amassing in force to retake the city, but even still with preparations. Very few of this invading force have fallen. Of those that have, they appear to be commoners of Prall. Factory workers with no discernable mutates or unusual abilities.
-> Finally, for those who have a connection to such things, Vashana, the Spring Queen has been restored to her full power.
+> 4/21/10079. The T’orite high command has issued a statement that nobody is to go within a 1 met radius of Centralia, at risk of arrest, or death. Announcements will be posted as details are figured out. As of now, they are still processing their foes.

+//A notice from the Rougtero Tribune://
+> On Obern 28, the entirety of Jaern was engulfed in a planet wide blizzard, a extreme weather phenomenon that caused damage and devastation to a mostly temperate planet. Islands between the two tropics were hit the hardest, as they found themselves ill-prepared for the onslaught of wind and snow, which left roads dangerous to travel, and without proper heating and insulation, reports of hypothermia and frostbite run rampant. The Rougtero Mages’ Guild is sending out a request for all Fire Mages to assist with warming homes and community shelters.

I thought for a moment that perhaps this was some sort of astrological event, but then I realized the obvious truth: I could not see the stars because something was blocking them, it was moving and flowing all across my vision, snuffing out more of the stars in the sky until every last one was gone, it took mere seconds! And then I saw the black sky open up an eye, and following it were hundreds more, all looking down upon the planet, before a second later they were gone and the stars were back, and the Natatorium nearby rang the midnight bells. I swear I'm not crazy!

However, it is recommended that such new members be aware that some of the more established members still hold some of their views, believing that women are not fit to join the priesthood. So while the doors are open to all, it is far from being completely free of sexism.

+> It was as if the stars were disappearing one by one, something was wring but the people around me were busy celebrating to notice. I thought for a moment that perhaps this was some sort of astrological event, but then I realized the obvious truth: I could not see the stars because something was blocking them, it was moving and flowing all across my vision, snuffing out more of the stars in the sky until every last one was gone, it took mere seconds! And then I saw the black sky open up an eye, and following it were hundreds more, all looking down upon the planet, before a second later they were gone and the stars were back, and the Natatorium nearby rang the midnight bells. I swear I'm not crazy!

-//Ports from around the Rhine Archipelago report in increase in pirate activity, and sources from notable towns such as Helmrest on Taegel, Port Davis on Southport, and Sunkissed Pier on Devimetra report that some of these pirate vessels seem to be manned by crew of undead. These concerns have led to the hiring of new adventurers to address this threat.//
+//Some similar accounts have been collected by individuals accross Jaern and Cahyali. Mages' Guilds and Universties alike are looking into the phenomenon, but little headway has been made.//

-//The church of Tarus, as of today, has officially opened up membership to people of any gender. Persons identifying as female are now welcome to join. However, it is recommended that such new members be aware that some of the more established members still hold some of their views, believing that women are not fit to join the priesthood. So while the doors are open to all, it is far from being completely free of sexism. The notion and feelings of the institution still makes it difficult for non-male-identifying members, just due to some of the mid-managment beliefs.//
-//Making this transition all the more difficult is the head of the Hestapheous Church on Cahyali, their equivalent of the Tarus Church here. High Priest Alphonse Granin has taken it upon himself to shun these new rulings from Jaern, and spread his own views and opinions about how the priesthood should function, which comes dangerously close to sounding like radicalism.//
-//An update on the planar collision: the plane that has collided with Jaern has been given a name after first reports have come back to the Centralia Mages' Guild: A plane-wide organization called the Albion Empire appears to be the main government of the series of islands there.//
