History

The Federation's beginnings can be traced over three centuries ago, in the early 23rd Aurolian Century. Upon the day of Gulsin 15th of the year 2317, the humans of the former colony of Aurolia had finally accomplished a great deed, the creation of their own FTL drives. Within several weeks of hyperspace travel, a Multi-National Exploration Team had touched down on the surface of one of Aurolia's sister worlds of Murani for the first time, and with this monumental event for the Aurolians, so began a new Golden Age of Exploration. For eons, theses colonists had prospered on their lost paradise, but have dreamed of once again traversing the stars just as their Predecessors once did.

From 2320 to 2360, the Nations of Aurolia embarked on a Space Race unlike any other, fleets of cargo and colony ships moving in droves to the barren world of Murani as domed cities were erected on the once dead and quiet landscape. By 2382, over 2 Million humans now called Murani home. And as the years pass by, even more projects were in the works, Mining Companies had begun to lay claim to the Asteroid Fields surrounding the system, the various moons, and many more as now untapped resources once out of reach of the Aurolians were now all theirs for the taking. Dozens of independent parties had constructed Sleeper Ships to set out far beyond the Aurilus System, and explore and colonize alien worlds, and decades later, reestablished contact with Aurolia.

The 24th Century would prove to be the Century of Discovery, Change and War. It all begun in 2400, an Aurolian scout vessel had made first contact with the Hammerheaded Aldzir of Nasj, a Garden Moon that orbits a Gas Giant, communication was shaky with the tribal natives, the colonists having a difficult time to decipher their language, but the two groups lived a relativity peaceful co-existence, but were mostly left to their own devices, the two groups often trading in knowledge or in technology.

By 2424, Humanity would be the ones visited as they came into contact with the Ishkaan, a repto-avian species that had recently reached their own space age, like the Aldzir, the two groups kept into contact, but also kept to themselves, human and ishkaan colonies even traded in what technology was need for their respective worlds to prosper. Despite the occasional border dispute and skirmish between colonies, the general region now dubbed the Aurolian Star Cluster, was functioning with little large scale conflict.

However, this would change for better or for worse in the year 2450, the three interconnected species of the star cluster would come into contact with the Nerkin, an aggressive insectoid species that saw little value in any talks of diplomacy, and caught the scattered colonies off guard as the Nerkin Empire launched a full scale assault on the star cluster, the initial stages of the war were devastating. By the fourth year of the war, the colonies and homeworlds properly organized themselves to form a united front against the Nerkin Empire, whatever differences the Ishkaan or Humans had were put aside to defeat this dire threat.

The war would continue on for another six years before the Nerkin were finally driven off the last occupied colony world. No treaty was signed, the Nerkin did not make any offers of peace nor had their ships returned for a good year after the battle, the war seemed to be over.

Although the war itself was devastating, the reconstruction efforts estimated to take some decades, the Humans, the Aldzir and Ishkaan grew more close, a sense of brotherhood growing among the three, as such, something was to be done in order to become better prepared for the next interstellar conflict.

On the moon of Nasj, Representatives of Aurolia, the native Aldzir tribes and the Ishkaan of Janar, gathered. It was on the Moon of Nasj, in the year 2463 A.C. that the Articles of Federation were drawn, leading to the creation of the Federation of the Aurolian Stars. The nations and colonies soon merged under the sovereign banner of this new Federation, guaranteeing safety and unity against all threats from beyond their borders.

The following decades, before the next war, would be deemed the Century of Restoration. Over the course of said century, the federation would slowly rebuild from the damages brought by the Nerkin, and

Social Information

Demographics

Native Species
Aldzir: A mammalian species native to the garden moon of Nasj. The Aldzir are among the more bizarre species in known space, possessing a vaguely humanoid shape, with the exception of their upper bodies, with long curved necks and T-shaped heads. On both sides of an Aldzir's neck is two silts, these silts both function as two separate, if interconnected mouths. As noted, despite being separate, when a Aldzir speaks, vocals from both orifices resonate in stereo. Regarding gender, it can be quite difficult distinguishing between a male and female Aldzir, sharing little differences besides the tone of their voice, Females having a higher pitch tone.

Aldzir language has traces of a semi-aquatic origin, "singing" similarly to various whale-like animals of various worlds. The language barrier, for the most part, is quite difficult to breach, few Aldzir are capable of speaking the common human tongue, and most often are forced to rely upon translation implants or devices.

Ishkaan: Native to the Arid World of Janar, the Ishkaan are a hardy Avian species of a vague humanoid shape, their bodies covered in a hardened carapace, and most notable for their horned crests and mandibles. Ishkaan, like the Nalloth, uncharacteristic of avians, can give live birth to young. Similar to the Aldzir, male and female Ishkaan do not differ greatly in physical appearance, with the small exception of tone of voice and females lacking horn crests.

Society

Culture in the Federation is rather complicated, and differs greatly from planet to planet, each contain a unique culture and society born from it's people and surroundings. However, the Worlds of the Federation share quite a few common values, one of individualism, self-determination and liberty for the various peoples of different creeds and species. Such Human ideals had slowly, but surely spread to the non-human citizens of the Federation, both local and migrant alike, and many had grown to adopt such ideals as their own.

The Federation Military is held to a high standard and respect in the Federation, seen as the ever watchful defenders of a fragile civilization against far off Powers that seek its total submission and destruction.

Freedom of Religion in the Federation is also a scared right, and just as diverse, many Human and Alien Religions begun spreading the word of their respective Gods once missionaries left offworld, and to the surprise of most, have acquired many converts not of their own species.

Government

A Federal Republic, the Aurolian Government is split between Three Branches, the Executive Branch, that being the Office of the Federation President who is both the Head of the Senate and the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation Armed Forces. One of the many tasks of a President consist of the creation of Laws, the signing of articles of diplomatic importance such as treaties, to appoint judges for the Interstellar Court and so on.

The Legislative Branch, that of which being the Senate. The Senate's main tasks consist of the passing of laws brought forward by the President, passing or vetoing Legislation by the President, and are to give consent to enact a Declaration of War. And finally there is the Interstellar Court, who are responsible for the enforcement of the Laws created by the President and passed then enacted by the Senate. IC Judges are appointed by the President.

Star Systems within the Federation are partially autonomous entities who are responsible for both maintaining worlds and installations within, and to maintain its own defense with their local System Defense Force to act as its shield.

Role: Deep Space Reconnaissance
Developed a few years before the Daisan War, the Shadow Stealth Corvette was something of a personal project, far removed from the Military. The Shadow-class was instead, commissioned and designed by Federation Intelligence for use in any Black Ops by their agents or their Psi Operatives. The Shadow's creation came at the right moment as the war begun, it's limited stealth capabilities perfect to function as a deep space reconnaissance craft, this ships often sent into Daisan Held territory prior to any counteroffensive.

Ranger-class Corvette

Length: 160 Meters
Role: Patrol Ship, Scout, Anti-Fighter/Torpedo Screen
Originally employed by the various System Defense Forces as police ships, the Ranger-class Corvettes in their pre-war careers were under-equipped, armed enough to fend off any small time raiders or criminal elements within the federation. In the Outbreak of the Dasian War, the Ranger Corvettes found their new calling, as thousands of Rangers were recalled by High Command for refits. Now the Ranger functions as an integral part of any Federation Warfleet, with their new refits, serving as excellent, if vulnerable, Anti-Starfighter Platforms.

Description: A recent addition to the Federation Navy, introduced four years after the outbreak of the Dasian War. With years of repeated engagements against the Daisan Fleets, the Federation became all too familiar with the Dasian's most preferred tactic, making an abundant use of it's endless swarms of fighter drones. It was quite clear the Navy's present roster of strike craft were inadequate in confront such daunting swarms, and so the Dragon came to be. The Dragon Missile Boat carries 42 missile pods, and can single handily wipe out hundreds of clustered drones in one volley, however, despite the Dragon's destructive power, it is only armed with on particle beam cannon and is lightly armored, making it a vulnerable target as well as a useful asset.

Description: The Federation's first attempt to develop a truly all-purpose aircraft. The TSF-1 Phoenix served a multitude of roles throughout its golden years of service in the Navy. The Phoenix was the first federation strike craft to be able to operate both in atmosphere and in space, quickly phasing out previous Federation ground based aircraft at the time(Must of which now serve in the SDF). The Phoenix was deigned in mind to be durable and adequate in speed, it's modular nature prevent certain, heavier variants of the Phoenix from matching the speed of it's Imperial Counterpart, the Tempest. However, if stripped down to it's barest form, the Phoenix would prove to be a good match of the Tempest. Many years after, the Phoenix has long since been retired from Naval service, now serving the primary strike craft of the many System Defense Forces.

The Phoenix is armed with four linked Particle Cannons and an easily modular munitions bay, allowing the Phoenix to carry either carry anti-fighter missiles or Torpedoes.

Navy Doctrine: Like the ground forces, the Federation has developed a sort of Combined Arms strategy concerning spaceborne threats. Federation Battlegroups tend to be clustered together, heavy capital ships forming the necessary center, and the escort screens forming the outer defensive layer, shielding the capital vessels and taking most of the enemy's fire.

Ground Forces

Army

The Federation Army are one of four branches of the Armed Forces, they're main expertise being land-based military operations, and often are found working alongside with the Marine Corps and ground elements of the Systems Defense Forces. The Federation Army is most often primarily tasked with garrison duties, the Marine Corps typically deployed in expeditionary operations across known space in conjunction with the Federation Navy. However, there are a few occasions in which the Army are deployed alongside the marines in expeditionary operations, such as planetary invasions.


Iskhaan Trooper Armor


Snow Camo Trooper with Helmet


Alszir Trooper Armor

SDF

The System Defense Forces are responsible for both the defense and policing of the Federation's territories and holdings. Each Star System within the Federation possess an SDF, each SDF are tasked with defending and keeping the civilian population under control from threats both internal and external. Whilst they're less heavily armed and equipped then their Army, Marine and Navy counterparts, the men and women of the local SDF are more then capable to respond to any incident and threat with vigilance and are not a force to be taken very lightly.

SDF Militiamen


Alternate SDF Militiamen

Marines

The Aurolian Federation Marine Corps, like its many now defunct predecessors, is an Elite branch of the Federation Armed Forces responsible for conducting land-based expeditionary operations, using the mobility provided by the Federation Navy to rapidly deliver ground troops in conjunction with the Army. Marines are primarily charged with the defense of Federation Navy vessels and installations from hostile forces, the Marines may occasionally be given command of their own vessels within any Expeditionary Fleet.

Ishkaan Marine Armor


Aldzir Marine Armor

Special Forces and Other

Commando

Within Federation Intelligence exists the Psi-Ops, a division within the Agency that is primarily responsible with the recruitment, training and if necessary, cybernetic augmentation of the psionicly gifted, such individual is trained to become the Elite of the Federation. The Commandos using a deadly combination of their martial training, psioncs and for some, their cybernetic implants to become silent killing machines, dispatching Enemies of the Federation with cold efficiency.

Aurolian Guard

Aurolia, or Aurolia Prime as some call it, is the beating heart of the federation, and is forever on the defense against any who would tarnish her serene beauty. The Aurolian Guard is an Elite Corp of soldiers, each member personally selected to be among the ranks of the Guard for their long service and display of true loyalty. The Guard are trained to best fight in urban environments, their units stationed in major cities throughout the planet, more so for the Capital City, forming the last line of defense.

TAI-200 Autonomous Infantry Unit

A product of Tarin Armored Industries, the TAI-200 Autonomous Infantry Unit begun development a year after the Daisan War begun, the Federation was in need of its own Droid Army to counter the near endless droid swarms of the Daisan Order, Tarin Armored Industries would provide the Federation a solution. After several successful test ops for the prototypes, Federation High Command put an immediate order of two legions worth of the AIU and it's sister projects.

Vehicles and Aircraft

Military Vehicles

Gazai-series Modular Armored Vehicles

The Heart and soul of the Federation Army's armored units, the Gazai is are well-armored modular vehicles designed to serve almost any role that the ground forces require of it. From troop and logistic transports, to light tanks, anti-air and artillery. The Gazai's introduction into the armored forces had quickly phased out a great number of existing vehicles that had similar roles.

Farov Utility/Strike Vehicle

A Lightly armored, yet fast vehicle. In wartime, the Farov serves as the Federation's primary scout and light attack vehicles, standard military models armed with an anti-infantry Gatling gun and a light particle bean gun.

Yazdu Main Battle Tank


Robotic Armored Labor and Ground Operations System

Models Alpha, Delta, and Beta
A rather experimental concept that saw interesting beginnings. In Aurolia's and later on, the Federation's colonization phases, heavy equipment would of of course be necessary to assist in establishing colonial infrastructure in a quicker pace, thus the ancestors of the RAGLOS came to be. Prior to the Daisan War, the RAGLOS machines were used as Heavy Loaders, proving as an equally effective means to standard construction equipment.

A year after the outbreak of the Dasian War, in the Battle of Agnois Minor, a group of rather desperate army regulars had made use of several RAGLOS loaders as makeshift war machines, holding off against a battalions worth of Battle Droids before evac shuttles arrived. Footage of the engagement was saved and presented to several Military and Government Officials for potential military applications of the RAGLOS machines. Several months later, the Senate approved of the mass military refit of the RAGLOS.

The RAGLOS now serve as a vital component of the federation ground forces, acting as fast attack armored infantry, some time later, many RAGLOS mechs had been upgraded to store a personal AI to allow for more tactical flexibility, allowing the mechs to become Semi-Autonomous if need be.

Taysh Gunship


Rish Dropship

SDF Vehicles

Ground Doctrine: The Nerkin War and the current Daisan War have taught the Federation one thing, to meet an enemy head on with all assets. Federation ground troops train for combined arms tactics, in that no matter what, the branches and units within will support each other. Infantry will always be under the guidance of close by armored and aerial support units and vise versa.

Collab between Me and Terminal.
Weshland, Light's Passing Inn
Light's Passing Inn. A seemingly average establishment set up as a unassuming rest spot for any weary travelers, yet...this rundown Inn would play host to a rather odd event, outside the Inn stood two opposing armies, on on end was an conscript army authorized by the Aberysian Oratorium, consisting of local levies provided by House Weshland and members of the Gryph Knightly Order. On the other end were what are now known as the Mountebacks, a rather "altruistic" band of freelance knights so to speak, wondering aimlessly, at least to the locals, engaging in the occasional acts of heroism or simple good deeds to any who are in need.

However, disturbing facts soon arose regarding these Mountebanks, their heretical connections to the Red Parthenon made public, catching the everwatchful eye of the Oratorium. Now here they stand, waiting, as representatives from the the two armies converse within the Inn itself, their actions and words deciding the outcome of this confrontation.

The Inn, once dimly lit, was slowly growing more illuminated and bright as the sun begun to rose, two lone men sitting at a table in the center of the Inn on opposing ends, the Orator Hunter, Gabriel Othun, sat and gave a blank stare to his heretical counterpart.

The so-called Mountebank Knight, who had introduced himself as Pate Calor, had returned his gaze with an equally blank stare, though not in the same sense. The man was of a decidedly sprightly temperament, with an easy smile and soft, rounded cheeks. He sat with a faint slouch and one arm across the inn-table - but as for his eyes, they were dull and terrible things. As though some devil with shears had came and shorn and plucked their depth from them. As those empty vessels met those of Gabriel, he felt stung by their unnatural aspect, a creeping chill streaking down his spine.

"So," Pate began after gracing Gabriel with a brief, cursory examination. "Do you think you brought enough guys?" He broke into a deep, throaty laugh, his eyes remaining locked with Gabriel's own.

Gabriel was silent for a brief moment, still shaken by Pate's unnatural eyes, but was careful not to let such weakness be easily exposed. "I've certainly brought enough to put an end to whatever wicked plots you and your ilk have schemed."

"Wicked plots? My good man, whatever perfidy you expect of us, I do not see what we have done to earn such suspicion. Have you found our conduct in these fair lands wanting?" Pate was still treating Gabriel with a toothy grin, his fingers tapping idly on the table surface. As far as Gabriel could discern the man appeared to be unarmed, though there was no telling if he had managed to conceal a dirk or the like beneath the queer, stone-like armor he bore.

Gabriel was perplexed with such "innocence" on display by this man. "Word spread rather quickly, and we know enough that you serve the vile Red Gods." He paused, taking a small breath. "That, is more then enough to suspect you."

"Is that truly a problem? Aberys coexists quite comfortably with the Dynasty of Eudaz as I understand it. This seemed like such a tolerant and open-minded place. The people are quite intelligent you see, ask many questions, listen intently." The Mountebank's fingers stopped drumming, and the smile faded from their face - becoming somewhat stern. "Though it not be my place to dictate morality, it seems curious that we should earn your animus for performing the necessary acts and protecting the people whom you supposedly watch over. Are you truly here to kill us all to a man for the crime of maintaining your shoddily cobbled peace?"

"Quite frankly, yes, the spread of your heretical nonsense is more of a danger to the land then a mere wild beast or bandit." Gabriel, although maintaining his composure, found this man to be rather irritating, his facade of innocence starting to wear thin in Gabriel's eyes. "Oh? Do tell. What harm have we perpetrated, then?" The Mountebank was smiling again, though it was more grim than before.

"...." Gabriel was to give Pate a response...but, a disturbing thought has crossed his mind, and remained silent, there was some truth to Pate's words, although the Mountebanks were clearly loyal to the enemies of his God, in actuality, they haven't done bodily harm to the subjects of the realms. This alone terrified him.

There was a poignant pause, and Pate laughed darkly. "Alright, alright, I'm not some high-faulting inquisitor!" He held up his hand briefly in a sympathetic gesture. "You want us gone - we'll be gone. Border is not too far, after all, and it would not be right if you did not at least try to stop us. We have done no wrong, but it would be a shame to have what I would presume to be a mostly innocent man like you killed because you did not have the gall to turn your hand to murder. So...I would like you to formally deliver a request for trial by Champion to your host. Win or lose, the Mountebank knights will gladly 'retreat' afterwards." Pate emphatically tilted his head from side to side with his last comment.

Gabriel thought over it...something he shouldn't even do in the first place, he's a member of the Oratorium! For a man in such a position to even consider a heretic's offer would guarantee him a painful death by his fellows. However, his consensus wouldn't allow him to slay a man who clearly displays innocence of any crimes, even if such innocence is but a ruse. But...surely these men would no longer be my' problem to deal with, that would be someone else's problem now, so his own mind said to justify his later response. "...Very well, I accept."

"Splendid! Oh, and of course, I suppose a civilized exchange of gifts is in order-" Pate shrugged one of his broad, armored shoulders and divested a strap from a small satchel just out of view. He sat it on the table, carefully and openly undoing the drawstring before pulling out a single, familiar book. "This was my personal copy of the Golden Biblicon, during my tenure of training to serve the Lord of the Turquoise Scheme. It is a bit worn. Few particularly earmarked passages. I have most of it memorized, so I have little need of it, but perhaps you know someone who might be in need of guidance." Pate pushed the book across the table to Gabriel.

Gabriel slowly extended his hand towards the book, he knew damn well he shouldn't, but he did so anyway. "This could prove useful in combating the turquoise lord..." He thought to himself, once again justifying his weakness. Pate looked to Gabriel expectantly, clearly unconcerned by their hesitance. He took the book, immediately pulled out a dagger, placing it on the table.

Pate flipped it into the air by its handle, briefly inspecting its length before nodding absently and standing. "Send your Champion and two witnesses out in front, we shall do the same. Although we must be enemies in this time, I nonetheless wish good health upon you and your family. I do pray we never meet again, lest the needs of our respective lords might force our hands. Be strong." He then turned and strode out without another word.

Gabriel existed the Inn, approach the host that stood ready on his orders, he turned to a group of knights, pointing his finger at a close-nit trio. "You three, come with me, we're dealing with this problem in a different matter." Much to the three knights confusion, the three nonetheless, followed his orders and accompanied Gabriel for the duel.

Upon Gabriel and his retinue's return to the Light's Passing Inn, two men and a woman stood waiting for them, out by the well and stables to the side of the entrance.

The woman was very clearly dead, missing the lower half of her right arm, with fractured, splintered shards of bone protruding from the gore-stained stump, her whole body bearing a deathly pallor. There was strangely no scent or insects about her person, and her midriff seemed swollen and bloated, but she - or it - was clearly a Servitor of the Turquoise Lord, here to serve witness for the celestial itself presumably. Its expression was blank, both of its eyes milky-white and blind. The two men were both Mountebank Knights - wearing the same, curiously molded stone-like armor he had bore. They both carried strange weapons, pieces seemingly wrought of solid iron forged into foreign shapes.

After a brief moment of silence, one of the two Mountebanks strode forward and spoke. "I am Karnat Ireman, son of Fallon Ireman, Mountebank Knight under the Lord of the Turquoise Scheme, sent forth by my kindred brothers in arms in the role of Champion to stand trial by combat. With the celestials as my witness, I greet you with honor. Which of you shall face me?"
The man, though strangely armored, did not seem the like of a Champion. Indeed, he was thinner and had less bulk to him than the other Knight or Pate had, and his armor was definitely thinner than either of theirs, with fewer plates. His face seemed somewhat on the sallow side, with raggy, dull-blonde hair and the same, stinging, empty eyes.
He appeared unarmed for the moment, though his compatriot notably carried with him a tied bundle of multiple examples of the solid iron weapons.

Gabriel looked to the three knights, picking the largest of them, a well-built men who towered over the Orator. "Baron Atmis, if you please?"

"Gladly" He replied, stepping forward to meet his opponent. I am William Atmis, Knight-Baron of these lands, I shall be your opponent in this duel." Atmis pulled out his blade, and readied his shield, bracing for combat.

Karnat looked William up and down, twice, before giving him a brief moment of consideration. "The Geyser blade, if you please." He called back to his compatriot. The larger man untied the bundle, and handed off to Karnat the presumed weapon.

As with the others, it looked to have been wrought from a single piece of iron. A curved sword, edge on both sides and with a thin, triangular spike protruding from the back of the blade's tip. Its sole ornamentation was the shape of the iron hilt, in the form of cresting waves. The blade was perhaps three and a half arrows in length, and immediately William could tell that the weapon had to outweigh his own by at least three times - and so it was perhaps somewhat disconcerting when Karnat simply accepted the weapon and hefted it with but one hand, leveling it smoothly to point at William.

The Servitor opened its dead lips and spoke. "The Mountebank Knights assent. Act freely upon the first step." William made a slow approach to the mounteback, sword ready in hand as he struck first, thrusting his blade towards his enemy. Karnat's free hand moved fiercely as he shouted a single word of evocation, and the molten, stone-like armor adorning his left arm seemed to flow like a fluid as he reached out and slapped the side of William's blade - the stone flowing between the two and solidifying once more around the weapon. The Mountebank's Geyser Blade raised into the air like a hammer, prised to fall like a Dragon upon a farmstead.

William was overwhelmed in shock and awe as he saw the stone melting and melding around his blade, the sheer weight of it was too much for him to bare and dropped it. William had almost lost his life, were it not his quick reaction to the mounteback's counterattack, and countered with his shield. He had barely escaped death.

Barely, and it looked to be nigh upon his heels - the Mountebank, seeming to have expected William's counter with his shield, allowed his blade to hammer down on and bounce up - whereupon he twisted his wrist, flipping the blade so that the thin spike upon its head was facing inward of William's face, slammed the weapon down atop the shield once more, and slashed to the left in an effort to take out the Baron's eyes.

In that instant, the spikes of the blade had pierced the Baron's eyes, dropping his shield, grasping his face as he screamed out in pain, blood creeping down his face. William felt a weight in his midriff as the Mountebank kicked him firmly in the gut, sending him tumbling to the ground. Karnat looked grimly up at Gabriel and the remaining two knights. "Your compatriot has been incapacitated. Which of you is his second?" The Servitor, standing idly by, had started laughing hoarsely.

The remaining two knights were hesitant, and refused to step forward, despite the overwhelming rage they had felt seeing their comrade in the state he is in, there was little that could be done..if only Princess Rosella was here...

Karnat raised an eyebrow at them. "Are you truly to leave him to fight me in his current state?"

"Damn it all, do we need to say it?" Gabirel snapped. "We yield!"

Karnat stared with his terrible eyes at Gabriel. "They will kill all three of you if you return and claim you yielded. Him as well." He gestured with the tip of his blade to the crying and bleeding Baron on the ground. "Somebody must die today. Let us not add to the count."

The three stood in silence, they knew what must be done. "Do it." Gabriel said with a heavy heart. "And then I want you to leave these lands, never to return, or we will not be so merciful." The Mountebank scoffed. "You honestly expect me to strike down a defenseless man? Come you craven curs! You are supposed to be sworn knights of avowal! You shame your comrade and your god with your words and brazen cowardice! I will fight two of you at once if that is what it takes for you to discover your courage!" In the background, the Servitor's laughter rose ever-higher.

The two remaining knights gladly obliged as they pulled out their swords, the Orator willingly joining, drawing his own blade. "Very well, if you wish to die, then so be it you filthy heretic." Gabriel spoke. Karnat smiled and held up a hand. "No. Only two. One of you must live." His fellow behind him burst into uproarious laughter, the heavy sound intermingling with the Servitor's.

"Orator, stand aside, we will avenge the Baron." One of the knights spoke, a young woman.

"We'll cut down this bastard." The other said, an older man.

The two knights charged, splitting off as the made their first move, attacking at two different points on both of his sides. As the two knights split off, Karnat uttered a single word of command, and a nearly indiscernible, pulsating wave of force rippling through the air, passing by both knights without harm. Nodding almost imperceptibly as he confirmed that neither of the knights had any wards of other forms of magical protection, Karnat raised his Geyser blade, catching the older man's own blade on the reverse side by the iron weapon's thin spike. Without even looking at the woman, he extended his free arm back, fingers undulated as the Mountebank uttered another word of command, this time releasing a tumultuous, conical shockwave of force that barreled at her.

The woman had lost her balance, but manage too throw force herself out of the way of the shockwave, rolling out. Although she was without a sword, for now, she quickly drew her dagger and made another attempt to strike at her opponent. The older man doing the same as he dropped the sword and pulled out his dagger.

The Mountebank deftly tucked his free arm in and shoved, aiming his stone-armored elbow at the woman's face before coming around with a sweeping strike at the older man, trying to catch him with the Geyser blade's reverse side and the faintly-extended reach of the spike at its head.

The Knight took notice of this, backed off, making use of his limited paladin training as he conjured strains of lighting from his finger tips. Meanwhile, the other knight, the woman was thrown off, barely conscious from the counter strike, blood dripping from her now broken nose.

The Mountebank briefly glanced behind himself to look at the woman and check she was not about to attempt another strike, and in that brief turn of his head completely missed the old man's brief preparation for his spell. Karnat turned his gaze back to the old knight just as the streamers of lightning struck, dancing across body. The stone that served as his armor thankfully proved to be particularly resilient to the arcs of light, but as his armor had fewer plates than those of the other Mountebanks the voltaic magic nonetheless crackled across his flesh in several places, burning the flesh beneath. The Mountebank's lower left arm in particular was severely burnt, as he had disposed of a plate of his stone armor with the first spell he had cast against the Baron. The individual fingers on his hand smoldered, the skin melting and blackening into a mess of visceral charnel fused together in an unusable mess.

In full-on shock, Karnat dropped his Geyser blade and let out a pained roar of anguish. "Do you yield?" Wilfred, the Knight, spoke, panting from the fight. Karnat took a moment to suck in a breath of air before turning his head back up with wide, empty eyes and a mouth contorted in pain. He raised his right hand. "I can still fight." The fingers of his right hand bent inward as he barked out a preliminary word of command for a more complex spell. "Justinian preserve us..." He said.

In the few breaths he took to speak those words, the Mountebank finished his spell. The earth itself beneath Wilfred's feet parted as the ground beneath him fell and the stone about him rose, the world itself trying to devour him whole.

Without much time to think this through, Wilfred made a blind run for it, trying to escape this trap, but with every step he took, the ground was becoming more and more loose and unstable, it was a matter of time before he would be encircled by the Earth itseld, in sheer desperation, Wilfred blindly fired off another lighting strike from his hand.

The lightning strike grounded into the Earth, but created a fulgur of glass in the shifting ground that resisted the effects of the Mountebank's spell and created a flaw in it, opening a passage of escape from the imploding would-be tomb. Wilfred took this chance, and fled out of the trap before he would lose that opening, along with his life. Behind him the earth receded before flattening out, leaving no evidence of the disturbance save for the uniform, circular absence of vegetation and its own unnatural smoothness. Standing directly before Wilfred, Karnat had retrieved his Geyser blade and was stalking over, cradling his left arm beneath his body.

"Your condition worsens, yield now and we can both leave alive."

"Do you know what the battlecry of the Mountebank is?" Karnat posed the question almost conversationally as he took a longer, near-leap of a step towards Wilfred with a looming overhead strike. His voice was strained with pain, but clear.

Wilfred was prepared to distance himself from the wounded knight, but humored him. "I'm afraid I do not." As he made the strike, he threw himself away from the blade.

As Wilfred threw himself away, he noted that the Mountebank had flipped the blade in his hand again in a near-reflexive manner after it hit the ground in a disturbingly similar fashion to what he had done during his brief fight with the Baron. If Wilfred had dodge to either side as opposed to back, Karnat might well have then immediately slashed him with the tip of the blade's spike.

"Slay me thrice." Karnat answered. "I would worry more about your own wellness, my adversary."

The Mountebank then charged forward with a diagonal strike from Wilfred's left. He noted that Karnat's good arm seemed peculiarly tensed. "If you say so." Wilfred said as he dodged once more, and once again had shot out a bolt of lighting directed at the other arm, perhaps disarming him will finally put an end to this battle.

The tension in the Mountebank's arm was released as he carried through with his charge, the blade's trajectory abruptly changing and cutting to Wilfred's right in a curious semicircular sweep. His lightning arced across the blade's length. Karnat immediate dropped it, his hand shaking from its the momentary residual charge that had rushed through the whole-iron weapon into his arm. Unfortunately that was hardly the end of it. Even as his arm still shuddered, Karnat tucked it in and carried forward in order to body-slam Wilfred.

Growing more tired, Wilfred simply clutched his armed together as he braced himself. The sheer weight from Karnats armor was enough to send both Wilfred and Kanrat crashing onto the ground. Looking up to find Wilfred again, Karnat raised his good hand once more, fingers bending as he uttered a word of command in order to create another conical shockwave directed at the older knight.

This was over for Wilfred, his strength was fleeting, and he could no longer run from this attack this time. However, salvation would come for the knight, in the battle, Karnat has failed to pay much attention to the younger knight, Elmia. In the final moments of the confrontation, Elmia, barely conscious, picked up the dagger, and quickly charged for Karnat's back. Just as Karnat began to stand again, drawing breath in order to laugh over the fallen Wilfred's battered body, her dagger slid between the plates of his stone armor, penetrating his ribs and sliding neatly through the upper mound of his heart.

Karnat fell again to his knees, his strength quickly fleeing him. "Slay me...thrice..." He whispered. His eyes turned milky white, and abruptly, just as quickly as he had fallen to his knees, he was getting up on both feet again. The ground ceased to tremor, much to Wilfred's relief. Elmia however was staring in awe as Karnat stood back up, the state he is currently in would no doubt debilitate any man.

"Oh, little motes, how rudely you treat this rind." Karnat's voice drifts eerily through the air, undulating in a dissonant, sing-song manner, with a foreign pitch and timbre. He then casually strode forward and raised a foot to stomp on Wilfred's face, apparently completely oblivious to Elmia's presence.

"How is this even possible?" Gabriel spoke.

Wilfred, abruptly raising himself up as Karnat stepped upon his face, bloodied and angry. "You unnatural bastard!" He shouted out. "Nothing so natural as form my dear, nothing so natural as wit." The Mountebank's body uttered in its new sing-song voice as it vaguely waved its right hand, sending the stone armor around its leg to flow and seal itself around Wilfred's head. The walking corpse then turned around to face Elmia. "There you are." It said, all color gone from its face.

The expression of the corpse sent chills down Elmia's spin, all she could do was shuffle away from the creature. All the while, Wilfred let out panicked screams as the stone begun to envelope his head. All Gabriel could do was look in horror.

The walking corpse gestured again, and all sensation fled Elmia as the previously dropped Geyser sword levitated and flew through the air, neatly slicing beneath her legs and disemboweling her as it flew into the dead man's hand. "And that one gets to live." The Mountebank's body exclaimed as it walked past William's still body, gore from Elmia's gut dribbling over him as the thing shook the Geyser blade in passing. He had, thankfully, fallen unconscious from the pain and blood-loss. "And you-" The body's voice dropped to a whisper as it approached Gabriel. "Will tell all what has transpired here."

Gabriel was paralyzed in fear, this was the power of the Turquoise Lord? Truly frightening. Not a word could be uttered, he simply made a nod. "And as was promised, we shall now leave. We do have a promise to keep. Of course, it shall be the border of Lytton we cross. It is also nearby." The thing's dead face twisted and gave Gabriel a sickening smile. "Mortal knights may grant you mercy, as is their way. The dead shall not, little mote. Be sure to remember that."

It turned and walked away without another word. The second Mountebank had tied the bundle of weapons back together, and he and the Servitor followed the reanimated thing as it went. As the trio left, Gabriel looked between the Servitor and the clearly very dead Mountebank.

Though often the topic of sick jokes and rumor, all educated members of the Oratory knew that the Servitors of the Turquoise Lord were all women, but it was the only possibility. The Mountebank had died - and its body had been reanimated as a male Servitor.

And if its words were to be believed-

Every Mountebank could potentially rise from death to fight anew.

"A truly terrifying enemy.....even if we fought them here and now..." The realization sunk even deeper. "No...this can not be left alone. What was I thinking?!" Gabriel took the book and tossed it to the ground. "I must return to Lorimir, they must be stopped at any cost!" As he turned and ran, the dirt from his hasty egress was thrown across Pate's copy of the Golden Biblicon, now stained and dirty on the ground.
