open | an alenroux press release

[A couple weeks after the conclusion of the Exalt Oracle trial, a communion message goes out to all Kenos’s shard-bearers — at a brisk mid-morning hour for Springstar residents, and evening for those night owls in Highstorm. Surely an agreeable enough time for all, yes? The voice will be familiar enough to anyone who listened in on the ambassador talk a Kenos month ago; it’s Liem, mayor of Alenroux Meridian’s resident straight man.]

Greetings, everyone. I have some updates to share regarding efforts to make Alenroux fully and safely inhabitable, which I hope you will be pleased to hear.

Last month, prior to the events surrounding the Oracle, a contingent of Springstar military overseen by several shard-bearers launched a multi-pronged expedition north into Alenroux’s forests, in order to locate the source of the monsters that continue to infest the woods. While I’m sure those of you who frequent Alenroux will have noticed that the flow of especially dangerous, augmented creatures mostly died off after the dismantling of Aetós’s underground facility, we have not been able to expunge the general monster population from the forest despite ongoing efforts, so this was an attempt to remedy that.

These expeditionary forces succeeded in locating three separate cornerstones and portals that were previously disgorging monsters. At this time we think it likely that they were connected to the timestream in some way that allowed creatures from other worlds to come through, but the portals themselves proved extremely hazardous to life attempting to breach from this side. All three have now been destroyed, and while we cannot say with certainty that there are no further portals out there, we are optimistic that this will allow the danger to those living in Alenroux to be further reduced by the joint forces still stationed there.

If you have further questions, you may direct them to me, or to Hayame, Akua Sahelian, Keitaro Miura, Gray, Byleth Eisner, Link, Kim Dokja, or Dee. [He means D.]

[ He couldn't?? Fight?? For the Oracle?? That his side lost?? And also it hurt????

There's the sensation of Amos rolling his eyes in response. ]


Awkward's a word for it, sure. Let's go with that. [ Dick. ] You gonna make a habit out of things conveniently working out for you like that, or this a one-time-only kind of deal?

[ It actually is kind of a real question? Just checking if Liem should get a pass for this specific announcement or if this is going to be some kind of regular bullshit. ]

[ Meridian won; that's all that really matters!! Someone is still feeling much more sore about that than any lingering neck issues. ]

I mean, I wasn't expecting you to bite down on my neck and drink my blood, so can you blame a guy for seeking clarification? This doesn't have to be anything more than that.

[ Unless Liem wants to escalate it further; Amos already did his venting and got his digs in, so he's satisfied. He's obviously the bigger person now. ]
