The Azgul Offensive

Gryphons, Friends, Allies and People of Erdreja, Briar of Lyonesse has entered into a pact with an Alien entity and has been using said entity to cause mayhem, death and destruction throughout our lands, those of our Allies in Western Lyonesse and other Factions.

After many months of tracking their movements, we have located them in Azgul Fort in Eastern Estragales. We have begun to lay siege the fort itself in a attempt to drive out Briar’s forces; there remains one potential escape route through the mountains. This lies to the south-east of the Fort which houses a small outpost. We suspect this is where many of the experimental Alien Infested soldiers we have faced were created.

To this end, I, Lady Gryphon, Niobie Dea Drussus ask all Gryphons, Allies, Friends and Peoples of Erdreja to join me on a mission to take this outpost, discover its secrets and destroy any prominent foes that may attempt to escape Azgul Fort. We aim to discover the true nature of the enemy we face and to deal a blow against Briar and his Alien benefactor.

We gather outside of Genua to march to the outpost.

All for One!

We know that Briar of Lyonesse and the Alien entity have been responsible for the deaths of prominent, well-loved and well-known Gryphons as well as individuals in other factions around the egg, however, what we do not know is just how dangerous this entity is. To put it simply, we do not know our enemy.

If we are to defeat a foe that has the potential for such a wide and dangerous reach, we must do whatever we can to learn more and understand our enemy.  We, the Gryphon Nation risk falling to it should we fail.

After much consideration, counsel and review with my Lord Marshall, I have decided to allow those of a unliving pattern who are members of the other Nations or Guilds of Erdreja to join the Operational Force descending upon the local area of Azgul Fort in the hopes of pooling our combined knowledge and experience in combatting the Alien Threat. This allowance does come with the following conditions.

- Those with unliving patterns must remain with the Lady Gryphon and their retinue whilst travelling to the area of operations from Genua

- Those with unliving patterns must remain within the area of operations for the duration of the operation.

- Those with an Unliving Pattern must follow all other laws of the Gryphon Nation whilst on our lands and would recommend speaking to a magistrate of the provost’s office for full details of what this entails

- Upon the completion, closure or otherwise ending of the operation, all those with Unliving Patterns MUST travel to the nearest transport circle with a prominent Gryphon escort and leave Gryphon lands in a timely and orderly manner

I trust we can all understand the gravity of our situation explaining the necessity of such actions at this time.

The Face of Betrayal

The Betrayer's plans have been thwarted for now and our Queen of Queens remains supreme as head of the Pantheon.

Yet it was not a perfect victory. There is much yet to do.

We must remove the great Betrayer from within our grove.

We must find the mastermind behind the Betrayer's resurgence.

We must seize back and purify the avatars that were lost to us.

I call you, Tarantulas and allies, to war. Death to the Betrayer!
