Fort Urosil

(PENDING)

Summary

The original builders of Fort Urosil remain shrouded in mystery. Numerous walls and crumbling columns seemingly date back decades, or even centuries past the apparent arrival of the island. Its latest inhabitants, the Arlandrean Expedition, settled the abandoned Fort in 1000AC as part of the Sarean Expeditions.

Located in the dense southern forests, Urosil is a remarkably hospitable place, with the waters running through the area being immensely clean owing in part to circumstance, and part to the tireless work of Druids and Aquamancers. Ruled by a council of Arlandrean Seers, the settlement is almost always open to outsiders, no matter how different.

History

Renovated from ruins by the initial scouting expeditions, and woven together and irrigated by druids and botanists alike, Fort Urosil is a renovated structure from ancient remnants; Shifting it from a basecamp of scouts to a full enclave and settlement of Arlandria in YR 1000.

The Arlandrian enclave was originally set up with Seer Ivy's Grace, Seer Verdan's Phyto, and Seer Naakesh D'arcy, in council with expedition leaders Captain Onyx Thyrn, Captain Eo Calanna and Captain Zenaris. The fort is nominally named, to public knowledge, of the sprout of Yggdrasil so named that resides at the center of the fortress to gird off the forces of the Convergence; Brought directly as a sapling from the mainland.

They had a diplomatic agreement from the early agreement of YR 1000, soon after first landing, with Isegradian counterpart Providence; However, this collapsed formally under the declaration of Operation Oberon in Providence. The attempt to jail and bind Faerla to service against the High Faerla under the thought that the faeborn could be mind controlled lead to a formal embargo that ended with the release and reimbursement of those affected. Even so, it left the situation between the bastions of the major powers uneasy by the time of YR 1006.

Fort Urosil has made it's presence known to some infamy as the foremost extension of law across the broad of the Sarea. The toes of many independent settlers have been trampled by their dogged pursuit of bandits, necromancers, and warlords; However, few can contest the proactivity of the Arlandrian forces on Sarea, who have often been the first to rush to aid allies or scourge enemies of the Realm alike; Some merely wish they were less so.

With public-available trial logs, it was the head of defeating the initial rogue's gallery of criminals on the nascent face of Sarea in the early years, and has had a heavy hand since in setting out in defense of the spirits. Leading the first clash against the ancient Arcadian king Nexus, when he was unsealed from underneath the Caldera, and carrying a majority of forces against the invitation of the High Fae Nirya and and Rakshasa Eight after early investigations located their presence.

Split into major expeditionary branches of the Seekers, research and development, and the Sylvan Shield, physical forces, Fort Urosil continues to hold a strong presence on Sarea into the 10s.

With the vanishing of Seer Verdan's Phyto early in the YR 1000, thought to have been one of the earliest victims of the High Faerla, Captain Eo Calanna held the position of Acting Seer for several years. Recently, she has abdicated the role to newly appointed Seer Van'chiriel Enathrae. Captain Onyx Thyrn's recall to the mainland has lead to Captain Mercury and Captain Clementine's appointment by YR 1006.

Notable Figures

Seer Ivy's Grace

A relatively diminutive Hedera, Grace not only served as the primary contact on the expedition and established the First Providence-Urosil Alliance, but also served as Chief Justice for judicial matters, assuring harmony through being the primary organizer throughout the early 1000s, overseeing much of the initial handling of the Fort's affairs throughout her tenure. Known for her strong opinion on justice and proactive combatance of threats, Grace's staunch and passionate assertations on Sarea on behalf of opposing what she felt to be injust earned both devoted loyalists and displeased opposition. Stepped down from the position into retirement for a happy romantic union with Molly McKevitt of Lilymire in YR 1007.

Seer Verdan's Phyto

An autumnal hued Hedera whose somber air was muted as he tended to the organization between the leadership of the expedition. Couriers and scrolls were common fare in his presence. He vanished mysteriously upon the isle of Sarea right before the turn of the year 1001.

Seer Naakesh D'arcy

A masked Faerla known for a reticent demeanor. Expert of knowledge on Yggdrasil, and the planes beyond, Seer Naakesh D'arcy was the Council's choice for reference on dealing with extraplanar contact and research. Known for her reclusion, Seer Naakesh generally emerges in regards to requests for consultation on such matters.

Seer Eo Calanna

A decently statuesque and slender Faerla, Eo served as the head researcher of the Arlandrian expedition into the Isle of Sarea, and was later appointed diplomatic liaison to Providence in the early 1000s and served as the spearhead of the research expeditions during Fort Urosil's time. She was promoted from the rank of Expeditionary Captain to Seer right before the turn of the year 1001, with the mysterious disappearance of the intended Seer, Verdan's Phyto. She stepped down from the position in YR 1006, to pursue research directly and depart from the political to focus more on advancement of understanding of the Sylvan Dream and the Faewild on behalf of Arlandria and all of Sarea.
