Pheasantine had been forced to sign a Treaty, but their Southeastern neighbours would not be beaten so easily.

The Aquilorians were coming for Narciss. Ezra Mylo had placed his trust in General Francis Grantè to crush the culture, entertainment and luxury Exarchate of Chalcrystis. The recently established Exarchate of Gaurd did not put up a fight as it was not officially part of Narciss quite yet.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJfAdOf1Ug
Grand-General John Carrier of the Northern Army had received his orders and was ready to carry them out to the letter.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkCiKvCHx2
*John,
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGbxrAOHQp
You are to fall back to Chalcrystis so that we may lure the Aquilorians into a trap while using this opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of our new Cryogenic Beam Projectors to the Adeptus Cryogenic.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWRu1ys0G3
With Harlo Grosso being honourably discharged and made Grand Duke of Greater Ashfyre, Reinhart Narravo is my choice for Grand-General of the Northeastern Army Group. However, you will let him continue to clash with Aeroadmiral Exonault over custody of his ex-lover until the Aquilorians wear themselves out.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAf98JYrF9
The new big fish in Umbracrest are particularly useful to your campaign, the BCU plans to plant mayhem in Aquilorian soon enough.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJjCvtudd
Impress me and, like Grosso, you will be rewarded.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG1S16i2to
Yours Sincerely,
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx9Ktmr4d6
Mikal van Blücher, Marshal of the Grand Army*

Carrier had considered sending Lieutenant General Davo to meet with Stratocrat Russell Golaze and the Adeptus Cryogenic but eventually decided to go in person.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYeQctG8jL
The Adeptus Cryogenic had once belonged to Clan Hinfel (who aligned themselves with the Chieftain of Marzi) as a Junker / young noble warrior. Clan Hinfel had sent him to the Glacier Academy of the Adept to become a Novice Scholar after he met the criteria and passed the entry exam. Whilst there, he had studied many branches of science related to the cold, before eventually becoming an Adeptus. By 83 EH, he had taken on a protégé - the Trainee Adeptus Cryosurgical, who had been passed over by high command in his application to become Surgeon-General of the Grand Army - and was the Head of the Grand Army`s new Cryogenic Beam Projector Initiative.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNFFFnl7E
His eyes were cold, his work was cold, and the man himself was, unsurprisingly, cold and asocial - a common trait amongst the elite Adepti.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIjgGwkpEm
"Adeptus," He nodded at the scholar, before turning to Stratocrat Goldaze, "Lieutenant General Davo tells me that Grand Warlord Trist of the XVI-C Valkyrie Corp recently repelled a strong Aquilorian attack on Euphau with the 238th and 239th Ölŕun Divisions, you should contact the Stratocrats in Luxequinox requesting they produce a larger variant of the prototype."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58zQYV0vsf
"Consider it done. The Adeptus wishes to show you something." He said before leaving.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvQ99WAbCt
Only now did the Grand-General notice a squirming black bag next to the Stratocrat`s desk. The Adeptus followed his gaze before explaining what it was, "I owed Chieftain Ragnor one last favour so I borrowed some of Admiral Cosminè Raz's Geirskögul Valkyrie Marines to capture an opponent of his: Inspector Exempt Ortan Yunta-Enumn."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAw1Pwhdvg
"I couldn't care less about the Electorate`s endless clan rivalries, why do you show me this?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGznebtvoOK
The Adeptus Cryogenic smiled a little, an expression devoid of all emotion. The Vorantine Mechanically Enhanced soldiers displayed more humanity than this member of the intelligentsia.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57u3fGkovV
"I thought it would be helpful for you to see a demonstration. The Vizier for Technology, Mr William Noro, blocks my requests for live subjects to advance my research and I find it unacceptable." He replied flatly.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb6LAatkn3
"I'm not a Vizier, perhaps you can speak to Grand Viz-" The officer began.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0mG5BEotd
The Adeptus interrupted him abruptly, "Rêverie-Montclair is not interested. Lady Sophie Genevieve Exonault seemed far more sympathetic to my plight than Marshal Blücher, should I tell her about your inappropriate connection with Lieutenant General Ghost? Or begin testing an airship-mounted version of MY projector?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKW5sG50Ur
A threat, and an impolite one at that, from an Adeptus?
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq2TEpnl5B
"What do you know?" Carrier hissed back.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4dyFKbSgO
"Enough to get Blücher`s Brünnhilde Valkyries involved. You will use Lyra Ghost`s connections to the Conclave of Viziers to get Noro to back down. Or else..." He cautioned, opening a matte black case with this symbol 🜛 marked on it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KuqJkojKV
The Adeptus pulled out a long, sleek device. One end - presumably the barrel - flared out into a cone while the rear was transparent enough that Carrier could see florescent blue-dyed fluid sloshing around inside. Four fins protruded from the barrel. Found next to the trigger were three dials.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ynzzZpCs
"This is one of your CBPs?" The Grand-General asked
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2M09a9gnV
"Yes. The first dial adjusts the temperature of the fluid, the second is for the pressure, and the third for the width of the beam." He replied neutrally as he dragged the unfortunate man out of the bag and removed the gag covering his mouth.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ylNYjGHJ
"Don't you know who I am?!" He screamed, "I'm the bloody Inspector Exempt of the Glacier Ele-"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna66MnV6Fx
Orten Yunta`s indignant shouting was cut off by a piercing yell of anguish as the scholar calmly activated his creation. The steam of fluid instantaneously froze him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHHRVdQmDu
"I want you to issue a statement about using these on anything powered by Æther. If the spray of liquid class F æther comes into contact with any of the more reactive types it will flash freeze anything within a five-mile radi-"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdauhSz132j
"– Why didn't you say that before?!" Demanded the Grand-General furiously.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0DhIMiPky
"The Chief of Clan Geinau informed me that three Varls and eight Ritters had mysteriously become ice sculptures only yesterday," he answered casually.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gBEd3Ozd9
"I see." Was all that John Carrier, who was trying to swallow the bitterly acidic feeling welling up in the back of his throat, could offer in response to the cold-hearted Adeptus of Cryogenics.

The Biotechnological Commission of Umbracrest had four main research centres, known as sites, located in Nucleus, Synd, Biogi, and Noctè. These four cities formed a shape known as the BCU Diamond to the Umbracresti.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BfZeLBv0f
Naturally, Herzog Baro De Napton and his eldest daughter, Margravine Blanche, loathed their entire existence. The pair were deeply suspicious of Anuax Hessen now but Commisar-Viceroy Götter had ordered the De Naptons, who were now subject to the authority of their new Pro-Hessen suzerain - the Großherzogtum / Grand Duchy of Greater Ashfyre under Harlo Grosso), to supply reinforcements to the force defending Biogi from the Cerulean-Vorantine attacks led by an unknown Dragonlord-Commander of the Order of the Dragoon.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJAnEJyhZL
Blanche De Napton was, at nineteen years old, an Apprentice at the Noctè Academy of the Adept and the personal protégé of Vice Chancellor of the Adept Grogen, who was also the Adeptus Ecclesiastical (of or pertaining to the Church of Celestialism).
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lOeE6aVYD
A very frightened apprentice, that is. With the power of the BCU and the Hessens rapidly growing in the last 3 years (and also the suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths of her two younger sisters and uncle) such an emotional state is not shocking in the slightest.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTeJbYETYS
Vice Chancellor Grogen doted on his student knowing full well that the man who held his son and daughter hostage (as "Assistants of the Chairman") wanted to exterminate her entire family, so he buried his personal feelings by spoiling her, perhaps thinking that it would atone for the excruciating demise that awaited the Margravine. Little did His Excellency know that her death – which Anuax had spent weeks planning – would be by far the cruellest of all the (many) people in his crosshair.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jlGmNfcit
"Sadistic old bastard, he'll get what he deserves eventually..." Grogen mumbled under his breath in displeasure, causing his student to look up at him expectantly.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaAxM9exOt
"Hmm? Are you alright, sir?" She asked innocently, turning her lamp-like amber eyes on the assistant of the Chancellor of the Adept (COTA)
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHai6wFO4R
"Yes, yes," he replied breathlessly, sweat running down his face, "Why wouldn't I be?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDYeElxhd5
"Our collective heads are very much under the boot of the BCU and Margrave Hessen doesn't seem to like Chancellor of the Adept Nazarene very much, nor do I for that matter - far too melancholy for me." She retorted, showcasing a sharp and in-depth knowledge of the merry-go-round that is Empyrean Politics.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgchV0WzYi
Her Excellency, Chancellor Nazarene, had been a Master Adept of Ethics before being elected as COTA – the first non-adepti to hold the role.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt0D8h2aFU
One of Hessen`s guards burst through the door in a flustered panic. "Vice Chancellor, Herzog Baro has been killed by a Celestial Cavalier."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFGwYoG3QJ
Right on cue, Margrave Anuax had given the signal.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNECmAVRzWd
"That is...unfortunate. He was a brave man; please ensure that he is given the respect he deserves." He said, repeating the scripted response in a flat, robotic tone.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpNr4sDLwe
"I serve and obey Your Excellency." The guard answered almost reverently.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOzs7a13Y5
The Academies of the Adept, thanks to the considerable influence of the BCU, were held in high esteem by the Umbracresti people. On the other hand, Celestialism was weak in Umbracrest and the only religion that had ever achieved prominence was the malignant influence of the Faith of the Æbyss. The Covenant of the Void had held the West in an iron grip for hundreds of years until Ser Drakonsarius decapitated the serpent by killing Ester Noctè – The Second Ætharch, known as the Instigator – and bringing about the collapse of Mater Anarchia.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FXXxAfKNb
The Hessen motto, Inovatio sine fine or Innovation without end, was a chilling reminder that science was completely unregulated in the West. The Biotechnological Commission had unlimited resources and influence over the Regional Government known as the Commiserate.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE56tMIFZx
This laissez-faire approach was about to kill the beloved Margravine Blanche, like so many before her. The Vice-Chancellor reached into his ceremonial blazer and extracted a shiny silver syringe.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3elemX8Gpy
"I ought to test your history...what can you tell me about 7th Countess Nyctra Ego?" He asked cautiously, a note of dread creeping into his tone.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT9LT3xNXB
The student, thankfully, did not pick on up this.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8VOqOG72e
"Let's see...she was born in 116 YBP and was crowned Countess Regnant at the age of sixteen in 100 YBP. Three years later, she nearly died from giving birth to Lord Ignatius. Am I right so far?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLfOAy7ywF
A large explosion outside rocked the BCU compound. It made the Vice Chancellor fall silent, a distant look in his eyes.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZcetJz96H
"Y-yes, continue please." He stammered.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hRxpIipvE
"A Master Adept of...whatever the study of bones is called was brought into Château Ego to figure out what was wrong with her. His name was Samuel Worce and diagnosed her with an extremely rare disease." She recited as Grogen internally withered beneath her curious gaze.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmYyAokWqx
He finally composed himself and nodded approvingly before replying, "Your history has improved considerably. That disease is called Progressive Ossifying Fibrodysplasia and there is still no cure for it."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhiyZCwLO1
"Okay. After the sixteenth Empyrean Games in 95 YBP, Nyctra befriended the Chancellor of the Adept and allowed him to establish three new Academies in Narciss. Then there was the Stratocraties Act and reforms to the Valkyrie units. In 93 and 90 YBP, she passes the Health Act and establishes the Nyctran Trust to ease the suffering of those with unusable diseases."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzZHFktKFZ
She looked at her teacher expectantly, but he remained silent while twiddling that silver syringe around in his fingers.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY56ubLKhNK
"Anyway... She got a wheelchair from Cogitare Academy and adopted Technocrat Osto`s terminally ill son in 80 YBP. In 76 YBP, two months before she died 75', she makes the last public appearance of her twenty-five-year long reign." She concluded solemnly. A startled expression appears on her face as she realises his intent.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lr3fOXWfc
"The Chairman got to you as well?" She asked sadly, her eyes filling with tears.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7dsiqr5w
"I'm sorry but he has me cornered. They weaponised that rare disease somehow...you'll be a statue." He stabbed the syringe directly into a vein as he spoke. The Margravine furiously struggled but Grogen`s grip was too strong. She shuddered as the cold liquid inside was forced into her.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi4k7At1yT
"You don't deserve this...Hessen has my b-boy and threatened to do it to him instead of you." He said as he shamefully walked away.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AzU7jAqAb
Blanche De Napton bellowed at him, cursing the academic for being cowardly, so spineless, so submissive...so......so.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Irnx2jJf5
The growths of bone silenced her as they fused her vocal cords together and slowly locked her limbs in place.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1YvYW9Rkh
She would suffer unimaginable agony as the hours ticked by and she was transformed into a living statue. Only the suffocating embrace of the bone would release her from her torture.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrv8RD9P2L
Somewhere else in the city of Biogi, Anuax Hessen cackled triumphantly to himself.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EF5ALDumg
Five targets were down.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKz8GvOURm
Three more remained.
