From Attuned to Ascended to Ancient, Kiada Njovu-Reyes has been reborn several times throughout her short life, but her fighting spirit has never once been diminished. With beauty, grace and a quick wit, Kiada is the whole package wrapped in an infectious smile. Recent endeavours have found her in the heart of the Hollowed Grounds, aiding the region and bettering it for her new Ancient kin, and whatever she does next, we know it's sure to pack a punch.
Congratulations, Kiada!

Court of the Fallen was created in October of 2018 by Odd, Honey, and Crooked.
Skinning and hosting by the epically talented Kaons, and functionality fanciness by the coding magic of Neowulf. If you ever see either of them around, make sure to show them some love!
This note is pinned to the bottom of the recruitment post, written out in an exacting, precise hand.
PLEASE CONSIDER
Stormbreak has made their stance on the ascended clear, and here they make themselves even more transparent. Are you going to allow your accepted friends and family be turned against us? Remember Torchlines strength, don’t let us be divided by people who have already been laughed out of town once. By people who have already destroyed shrines in our home.
Don’t let Torchline be used as a pawn for outside forces.
Asking for interest in monster hunter's guild in Halo. Would welcome people of all skill sets, fighters, explorers, researchers, whatever you have to offer would be happily accepted. The work of the guild would be not only to hunt the things that pose a threat, but to try and understand them, and come up with good solutions to Caido's monster problems, cause we all know there are a lot of fucking monsters.
Offering companionship, training, knowledge, and a chance to protect and learn! Contact Aisha Khai (Deepfrost Shield) if you're interested!
A long note, in the very neat print of a professional scribe, is pinned in the dead of night to the Notice board -
Abandoned Acquired of Caido
The Old Gods and Heralds are threatened by you and your potential. It’s why they treat you like shit, why they’ve discarded your original name, Acquired, and said the magical mutation is a terrible, hateful thing. So you won’t seek to follow in the Voice’s footsteps. So you won’t challenge the status quo.
And when you do ask for something? They torture you for it. Make you suffer to prove you’re worthy. They sneer and demand and make sure you feel less than human. Did you know you can’t enter Stormbreak? They’ll kill you - turn you to stone. The Order hates you almost as much as they hate the Ascended.
For what? Just being born.
Tell me, how do you think that mutation came about to begin with? How hypocritical is it to introduce magic and then call it shameful?
You have been viciously, needlessly punished for something far beyond your control. Our people have been manipulated for centuries into thinking you’re an abomination, when really, you have the potential to be the most powerful of us all.
Take a chance on the Voice for your next prayer. You might be pleasantly surprised by her willingness to help you be the best you can be. Take back your power.
You don't know me an' i don't know you. But I run a caravan that goes all the way from Hak Etme down to the Feverlands. Only there's some big skeletal cunt in the sands up here that won't let my damn wagon leave.
Whoever comes up here and kills this bag of bones can have any item they want from my store.
OOC: This notice will serve as IC justification for an upcoming KQ!

New Courthouse
People of Torchline, as you may already know, you are under new leadership. While the Slagveld has served as the government's quarters for a long time, and it will certainly not be left in disarray, a new leadership calls for a fresh start.
We felt it best to build a courthouse for all official matters; a place out of the shadows, where all voices will be heard. We will begin construction here in the heart of Haulani within the next day. Any and all aid in this project is greatly appreciated.

Volunteers Needed
I'm looking for volunteers to join me for a journey into the Wilds. We'll be looking for unicorns to bring back to Torchline for Safrin, so that she can give the fountain in the Court the power to heal. As queens, our hope is that this will bring the citizens of our region some peace of mind and give many of you a much-needed place to heal.
If you have experience with this sort of thing, or are simply willing and able to help, meet me at the edge of King's End in three days' time. I will be waiting with horses and supplies ready for the journey, but be sure to bring whatever you think you need.
- Queen Aurelia

VOLUNTEERS WANTED
I will be making a journey to Frey's Breath to collect water for the healing fountain that Safrin is creating for us. I need two other able bodied individuals willing to make the trek with me to collect what is needed! We will be leaving in a few days time. Please come prepared as I have hopes to finish this in a day or two.

The Court of Stars
Torchers!
The construction of the Court of Stars has been finished and this is an official notice to let you know that it's open for your use. This isn't just a government building, but a safe place for all to gather. Please stop by and take a look around.
It is with the utmost reluctance that I announce the official closure of the Wren Society. Due to increasing hostilities in the region, on both a personal and governmental level, I no longer feel safe or comfortable operating within Torchline. Supplies have been relocated to the Clinic, which will continue to operate in my stead.
I need to collect hair, blood, nail clippings, etc. from two Accepted, two Attuned, two Abandoned, and two hybrids. Contributing would earn you my gratitude and the gratitude of the Fae as a whole, and compensation can be provided.
I can be reached at the Fae's embassy in the Sea of Branches.

Fountain Purification
Torchers!
We're getting closer to finishing the new regional quest from Safrin to make the fountain in the Court of Stars capable of healing all ailments. I need a couple of volunteers to help me purify the fountain. If you're capable of doing so or know someone who can help, please come by and see me. I would love to finish this for you soon.
We're getting closer to the second half of the season and the monsoons that come with it. Lady Safrin has provided us with a barrier around Torchline to help with the worst of it thanks to Sunjata's efforts along with the rest of Torchline for the last regional quest.
However, we should still be prepared in case things go south! Please prep sandbags, secure buildings, and gather necessary supplies should we need them. I'll be holding a day of work down by the shore should anyone be interested in preparations.
GIDEON, the priest from Stormbreak, is guilty of not only the MURDER of an innocent but in KIDNAPPING.
Does impending war justify the CRUEL TORTURING of CHILDREN? Regardless of who they are or where they're from, NO innocent should suffer for the actions of those who came before them. A choice, mistake or no, is not deserving of unnecessary suffering.
What if it was your family, your people, one of you? Would you stand idly by? Would you want no one to demand justice for you and yours?
Whether you have chosen a side or not, there is still a difference between right and wrong.
Remember this if you see Gideon on our streets again. Remember it when you make your choices.
