The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Our dearest and lovely admin welcomed her new baby boy, Jet, on Sept 7th! We're so happy for her and her family! Congratulations Mama!! Your boys are all so lucky to have such an incredible mom to love them! God bless!
As instructed I have avoided approaching the Palace, I am currently residing at Birkhall and just received a letter. Could I have a moment of your time Commander and discuss orders, I know you are busy so perhaps a open line of correspondence would suffice. I don't feel as retreating to the country side during these troubled times is best suited for me, I want to be active but I can offer my services of escorting the other Lords and Ladis families.
Arynnite armor: The armor have two states: active and inactive. When inactive, they look like little more than ornate metal bracers, easily ignored. When triggered, the armor covers Tybalt and serves as an exoskeleton. It will protect its wearer from physical damage and is practically indestructible.
The armor has a certain "preprogrammed" purpose which is to protect its host. To do so, it reacts to heightened emotional states such as fear and anger, at which point the armor will trigger regardless of whether or not Tybalt wants it to or even if he's immediately aware of the threat. It has some degree of awareness and sentience although very basic and one which struggles to differentiate between enemies and friends. Whilst not actually in possession of a will, the armor can guide or direct its host in a specific action, much like a reflex.
The armor needs to be "fed" as Tybalt has discovered meaning that he must hold and absorb through touch certain metals such as steel, copper, iron and tin, a process which takes a few minutes. Without which, the armor will begin to weaken and become less effective until no longer able to manifest.
Perhaps its greatest weakness is that if being consistently bashed or beaten, it would begin to repair itself by using parts of the armor from elsewhere. For instance, if the wearer is being consistently hit in the chest, the armor will begin to pool away from other parts of their body such as the feet and hands, leaving them vulnerable.
I cannot stress enough the importance of staying away from the palace. It isn't safe for anyone right now. That being said, I understand that you wish to continue to serve the nation. My letters are being delivered by hand at the moment. It seems that written correspondance remains safe enough for the moment. All the same, it might be more cautious to keep anything truly critical out of your letters. Some of our guests are more curious than others.
There are two matters which immediately come to mind, and could well suit you. The first, as you mentioned is evacuation. Over the coming weeks, we hope to move much of the population somewhere safer. Naturally, this can lead to some complications. Having someone to assist with the logistics, and convince those who are more reluctant to leave would be welcome. Augustus is also planning an address in the coming days. I could certainly do with some capable commanders to help maintain his security.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to protect the Prince during this address and I can be pretty convincing on getting our Lords and Lady's to seek shelter outside of Loren. I will await your orders, Lady Marshal Kane instructed me to report to you so I will do as you ask Commander.
