VI: The ConnectionAs the years went on and the fragile political state of Warrenfall was repaired, Queen Elshen remained in power. What Reoseans were left, and the people, both felt it was imperative that someone who had both of their best interests in mind took charge while the world healed from its wounds. It was a blessing sent from the very Primordials that Queen Elshen became a lovable queen, adored by many. With a firm hand and a gentle heart, she ruled for many years amidst the land’s emotional turmoil.
The Reosean population amidst society increased day by day. Older ones were struck by the trauma of war but as with any civilization, the younglings led the future and they were not frozen in their fear. They led their marches and joined society in Warrenfall, welcomed by its people and by its queen. Many were curious about the state of affairs, joining and opening their hearts and minds to the prospects of bonding once more. King Semias had stepped down, allowing his son, young King Dellin to take the continent’s reign. King Dellin had been close with Queen Elshen and despite their differences in age, they formed a powerful alliance. An arrangement was made not long after for King Dellin to marry one of Queen Elshen’s younger brother- a bond of love and of strength, to tie the forces of the continents together. Thedale did not fare well after the war. The loss of their Lord took its toll and the people grew fearful of not Reoseans, but of magic. One could say you cannot separate one from the other, but Thedale did not want to follow in King Aster’s footsteps. Instead, roughly fifteen years after the war, a bill passed banning the usage and tutelage of magic without licence. Magical items were still allowed- but no longer could men, Reoseans, or others, rely on the use of magic in their day-to-day lives. Thedale saw a decline in population after, many moving to Roenden or even Warrenfall, but the Lord’s decision did not falter. Magic took lives, and they were not going to allow it within their continent. In turn, however, Thedale became a refuge for Reoseans afflicted with mutations that denied them their magic. With the passing of the sixth age, hope once again shone in people’s eyes. -- Summary of Chapter 6 in the History of Reos scholarly book, written by Vinicius Floren |
