[center][h1]Politics and boredom[/h1][/center] The sound of a horn was heard echoing through the caves, deep underground, the echo of voices and the bustling of a city hidden beneath soil, rock and stone. Laid Niksa the holy capital of the Aris alk Shasot. The city was dug from stone, carved and sculpted in many layers over its cave system and great pillars turned into the equivalent of Skyscrapers for the Dugar and some Oaajai that call the capital home, the city was a form of spiral heading ever downwards following a chasm where bridges connecting the many parts of the chasm from isolated pillars to large districts at the central pillar carved into it was the council at its top where the representatives of the many members came to oversee the leader under the Komunal and in one of the apartments was Taine, a man who rose with the sound of the horn who awoke the city marking for a meeting beside him was the two women he slept with last night. As he rose up and walked towards a window he could see the Komunal in the distance he was a representative of his home of Na’el to the west; After getting readied he headed to the chambers of the Komunal the bridge connecting both was a large one carved and well made as the citadel had many civilians and even soldier patrols around it to keep security. Entering the Komunal many other leaders were called, Taine soon heard his name be called turning his head he could see a familiar face from the city of Iea’le he was a man taller than him strong too with white hair and a scar he wore silk spider clothes dyed purple Taine smiled at him saying. “Hello brother.” “Goddess you look well, why are you here?” He asked with his brother pondering for a moment, soon saying. “Oh you know, just representing our older sibling.” His voice was less enthusiastic with his brother chuckling soon replying. “Well from the inheritance of our father you took the minority role. But don’t worry I am sure things will be fine with your sister.” Taine felt still a bit bitter but he let out a shrug saying. “Well shall we go inside?”“Ah no… i have other business in the capital; Nevertheless good luck with your work” His brother said with Taine giving a nod waving him off. The komunal had many meetings over different reasons and this one was no different for him. It was another dull day discussion about military reform, political reform or simply a debate over resource rights. The most interesting so far was a request to approve surface explorations which was passed. The second thing was colonisation further movements west by the crowns… and etc… and etc… for him it was another dull day. [center][h1]Forges of steel and gold[/h1][/center] Dulojav had more surface fortresses allowing contact towards the nations of the surface but also to police trade amongst passages through the mountains. One of these fortresses was not a toll fort but rather a volcanic fort. The volcano of Blazing peaks was the site of one of the biggest cities of the region of Dulojav, its land being rich in metals of many kinds. Within the fortress a series of Dugar and Oajai readied for a mission head towards the capital of Ordun to talk with their leaders for trade treaties and passage treaties. Not only that but the steel forges of the Blazing Peaks may have a great chance of selling more weapons towards them the forges had increased in production as of recently. Ika a Oajai was the one leading the expedition as the group left the gates of the fortress and began walking through the hills and south towards the plains. [center][h2]The Northern expedition[/h2][/center] In the northlands an expedition meanwhile set forth through the underground cave systems they went on to see the lands of the north. The expedition was composed of fifth individuals and only one Oajai the northern caves were not much explored. The tunnels were more disconnected but the newest one happened to prove a problem as it connected to the lands of Stenrester. [center][h3]The colonisation of Rieve Akute[/h3][/center] With approval from the Komunal the people of Na’el began to pack their things. It was a new colony expedition towards the ring of mountains called Rieve Akute it was the furthest west the colonisation west had gone albeit it was now heading south. With families and adventurers heading south to the ring of mountains in search of wealth, adventure or a new life.
