News quickly got wind to the major Houses all over Thaloria, namely House Solara, House Hamilton, House Storm, House Dragonfyre, House Seafyre, House Caelora, even the Thaloria Royal House, House Krakenfell, and House Topwells, of the finished items, weapons, vehicles and machines from Frostmark Province, after the Applied Magics & Science Research, headed by Lady Sarah Astor, announced the unveiling of new, upgraded versions of the items, weapons, machines, and vehicles after putting finalizing touches to what used to be prototypes, to the general public in a grand 2nd Magics & Science Expo held at the Meadowbrook outpost city, where the main fortress of House Greengrass, one of the lords bannermen of the third Prince, is located. As expected, there is no love lost between the Third Prince and House Blackmoor, since House Blackmoor, along with the Holy Church, stayed aloof, and called on the “ fellow citizens of Thaloria to resist these… heretical upgrades and ideas from the waywar

In the research facility of the Applied Magics & Science Research Building, Lady Sarah Astor, of House Astor of the riverlands, the Provincial Secretary for the Applied Magics & Science Research & Development, checked the progress made on the prototypes of various machines and tools made by the mages, master craftsmen, and engineers hired by the Applied Magics and Science Research. It's a pity that Prince Cain will only reserve the rights to sell the military items made by my staff here, and will not budge even if I ask him sweetly to at least send some flintlocks and muskets to Lord Astor, my father, to help defend the riverlands. Prince Cain knows that civil war is bound to happen and he’ll release his military tech, along with the blueprints for upgraded machinery needed to make electricity, and the blueprints for the modernized vehicles only after Civil War has sparked. That much is obvious. Still, I sent some weapons and ammunition to my lord father on a regular basis, just in

The Crown Prince, Prince Alaric Vaelen Blackmoor-Thaloria, is on the way to Hamilton Province, along with his entire entourage, which consisted of knights, lords bannermen, and ladies, with servants to see to their every need in every step of the way. “ I believe someone is missing from our entourage, my lords and ladies. “ Prince Alaric jested to the lords bannermen, ladies and knights who sat inside the swift horse-drawn carriage together with him. “ Shall I order the carriage to stop, and send out a search party of knights and trained huntsmen with bloodhounds, then, to find who is missing, Your Highness? “ Sir Rowan Blackmoor, the knight in charge of the household knights of House Blackmoor, and Prince Alaric’s fifth degree cousin, asked Prince Alaric. “ There's no need to trouble yourself, Sir Rowan. It was meant as a jest, my lord. I believe that person is now in the Sunspire Citadel atop her dragon. She was never a patient girl. “ The lords bannermen, knights, and ladies

Later that night, a deeply offended Lady Elsie Jeffries contacted Lord Thomas Jeffries, of House Jeffries, her eldest brother through a magical art of long- distance calling unique to those who are citizens of the powerful city-state of Aethelgard, namely echo glass scrying, which is activated by chanting a spell around a scrying glass, infusing it with her mental energy, and making sure it reaches her older brother, until the glass starts glowing with an eerie light. A few minutes of waiting later, the glass glowed with an eerie light, and the features of her brother could be seen appearing from the other end. “ Sister? What's going on? I know it is night in Thaloria by now, and should you not be fast asleep in this unholy hour? “ “ There is someone I want assassinated, My lord, and I humbly ask for your backing, if things go wrong. “ “ What exactly happened, my lady? Enlighten your brother, on who dared to cross you, and pick a fight with you. “ “ It’s Third Prince Cain, my lo

News quickly spread all over Thaloria and beyond regarding the successful defense of Frostmark Province against the shadowbeasts that usually come stampeding and rampaging during the winter in the North on an annual basis, and how the rumored legendary protector beasts of the North showed up, and turned the tide of the battle. As a result, Houses Caelora, Solaria, Krakenfell, Topwells, Dragonfyre, Seafyre, and even the royal House of Thaloria clamored to be able to use the same weapons, and modern tools, vehicles, and equipment that Frostmark Province enjoyed, save for House Blackmoor, which called those modern tools and equipment as sacrilegious and irreverent. Envoys were seen travelling back and forth from all over Thaloria to Frostmark, each of them trying to change Prince Cain's mind with sweet words, flattery, and in extreme cases, the most dishonest and opportunistic envoys used outright bribery, jests and half-truths, but all of those efforts fell flat on their faces.
