June 1st, 1983
The world stands at the brink of war. Whether it will be a new cold war with new factions holding the balance of power, or whether it will go hot and feature all the horrors of the last war combined with the new horrors that magic can produce is unknown. But everyone agrees that something is going to happen, and it's going to happen soon.

The ancient master walked the grounds, watching the apprentices practice. Today, they were learning more of the bow. A good art to practice focus, and also good for one's arms. Closest were some apprentices learning the art; a group of fifty today. One of the largest in centuries, at least. Beside them, one new to the robes of a Master stood, practicing the maintenance of a Rune in the air; holding the arrows so that the apprentices could see their mistakes.
Further away, a well advanced apprentice conferred with others, teaching the basics of rationalism. Today, it was a more practical lesson, to determine the properties of an unknown rune. With a glance, the ancient master identified it as the Seventh; a well used rune over the years.
Still, the ancient one's goal today was not the students, joyous though their learning may be, but the council. Long had it been, since he had spoken there, but in these times change had to come. The council maintained its own order, bound by oath to speak truth and to allow others to speak in turn, and yet today they were divided. One to hide away, activate the Guardians, and weather the storm. One to strike out and reclaim the old holdings of the Order. The largest, though not a majority, simply listened and held their own council.
Slowly, the ancient one stepped up to speak as the previous master finished. "Before the eye of the Father, I speak. Always, we have taught those who would seek our knowledge. Let us continue that tradition, and throw open our doors to those that would learn." The council sat, and waited for nine seconds, for the rite had been called. To invoke the Father was to call his authority to your words, and your doom to His hands. In the ninth second, the raven which watched the hall alighted to the master's shoulder, and the council stood. The great bell rang out, to declare that the council had come to a decision.

Spoiler
The council has spoken. The gates to our halls are open to all who would follow the tenets; any who sincerely wishes to learn, shall be taught.
If you should approve, to facilitate the spread of knowledge we would construct additional halls in or near the towns and cities of the world. Our resources are finite, unfortunately, and so for this endeavor the Order offers its gratitude to those who would donate towards the cause.

It was a fine day. Most of the group knew a good deal about grass, but suffice it to say that the fine specimens that could be found around the band camp brought here to Arkansas today were mighty grassy. Fairly useful to. Various civilians had made an old recipe of flat bread out of it, half the camp had gotten new necklaces, and one of the drivers even found a way to make the grass into a cowboy hat.
Now that lunch was over and folks were ready to listen, the meeting could begin proper. The first speaker got up on top of the bus he came in and cleared out his throat.
"Ladies and gents, if I could get your eyes, ears, and whatever else you feel inclined to turn right this way, we can get on started. Now, first I wanna go over some domestic things. Animal. Recently, there's folks as been lettin' up a holler bout our current patriocratic mascot. Now, by my two bits, armadillo's are pretty real. However, what with ever evolvin' and dissolvin' tastes and of course the presence of a whole bunch new critters, we're puttin' it to a vote."
Naturals at direct democracy, some members of the loose assembly shifted themselves into groups. Some of these groups went on to discuss the reasons behind several choices, others went on to pass around the lemonade. When the interested groups had reached a conclusion, representatives went up to talk about it with the speaker. After a couple of minutes, the speaker climbed the bus again to make the big announcement.
"Alrighty. Looks like the new official fauna in this HR of T is... the silky pocket mouse!"
This was met with applause and the usual circuit of acoustic chords.
"Next on the agenda, looks like the Hanky-Panky Accord of the Big Ol' R and E have put it out there that there's teachin' to be done and they're just dandy to do it. Now, 'cause most of y'all won't know too much bout them, they are by our record a group somewhere up in the not-down-here doin' all that fantastic medieval stuff of somethin'."
This drew some sage nods from the free spirits in the back who had a clearly established appreciation of all that fantastic medieval stuff.
"To give y'all time to think, we'll handle this vote next time back home, but now we have a singalong to nail, so let's get on to it."
Somehow, even more guitars were brought out and the evening happening commenced. It was later brought to the attention of the speaker that they had been in Arkansas for a conference with the locals.
Only a flickering light lit the room Thorgan was sitting in. From behind his desk he watched the big screen filled with statistics and news. A moment later the door to his office opened and three dwarves entered, all three of them wearing a finely crafted armor. Runes line the armor of the three marking them as Runecrafters, all with a great understanding of Runecrafting but nothing comparable to Thorgan`s Runecrafting ability. Thorgan continued watching the screen as the Runecrafters spoke:
"The world is restless." said the First called Thorin Steelbender. "It has been so the past century" Thorgan answered.
"Yes but more magic has surfaced and the humans seem to get bolder exploring its possibilities." the one called Ghoron Stonebane answered.
"Not only the humans, the Darkstalkers report that monsters and dragons are stirring. Something is going to happen soon." Lori Shieldbreaker added. "Yes I have read the reports" Thorgan paused for a moment "It is time to initiate the Aegis Protocol" Thorgan turned his chair to face the three Runecrafters and all three answered with a nod.

Chancellor Ekene opened his eyes. His vision was a blur, colors wavering wildly, he could make out fake shapes, though nothing more. He closed his eyes again.
"Problems chancellor?" The voice was muted, as if heard through water.
Ekene rested his head in his hands, sighing.
"I'm starting to get a headache again."
"We can stop for now. We don't want to cause any damage."
"Okay"
Ekene opened his eyes. He was in his office, in the chancellors palace in Johannesburg. Apollyon and Veredelt stood nearby, their shadowy forms a little creepy as always.
"What word of our neighbors?"
Verdelet responded, her voice clear, though inhuman. "Nothing yet. It will not be long. No doubt greed still rules much of the world, they will all want a piece of us."
"Then we must remain strong. We can not afford for what we have done here to be damaged. For the good of the world"
To the Papal States: [4]
Spoiler
"Greetings. I am Apollyon, representative of the new state of South Africa. We have been disconnected from the world for some time. Can you tell us what changes your church has undergone in this time?"
To the Algiers Consortium [4]
Spoiler
"Greetings Brothers. I am Apollyon, representative of the new state of South Africa. We have isolated ourselves for the past decade, and are now returning to activity. What can you tell us of how the African Subcontinent has changed in our absence?"
Setting up a local magic university parallel to our own seems a poor use of funds, however we would be very interested in setting up an exchange program.
S Africa
Spoiler
Northern Africa seems to be most actively to feature Angelwing and ourselves. Angelwing is a mercenary company with a philanthropic arm. Although they apparently have enough support to run their territory by approval rather than force, by and large, an economy based on war contracts is naturally destabilizing. Sub-Sahara Africa is the continued stomping grounds of the British, but they seem to have evolved in recent years from militant authoritarians abroad to be militant authoritarians at home as well. There has also appeared in recent years to be a group of magical poachers called the menagerie who's centuries old smuggling enterprise has recently received attention with the more publicized actions of the arcane.
Pope Michael, first of the name, sat in his private quarters and reviewed the week since his election. His speech immediately after the election had been brief, filled mostly with fluff and vague promises to take a long close look at these new influences in the world. Less than a week later he had issued his first official ruling as Pontifex. With a simple speech, he had declared any of the so called "demi-humans" - elves, dwarves, vampires, werewolves, and any other sentient and magical beings (with the exception, of course, of any angel proven to be from the heavens) to be satanic, outlawing them from the Papal States. Killing them would not be considered a sin. But Michael I wasn't stupid - he knew that calling for the complete destruction of magic, no matter how much it was what he wanted, would have ostracized too much of the church. So he offered the carrot to go with his stick. While Demi-humans were officially satanic, humans with magical talents were to be considered blessed. Needless to say, the few days since his decree had been... hectic.
South Africa [4]
Spoiler
Our mission is what it has always been - Spreading the Holy Word, and protecting humanity from Satanic forces. On that note, we advise you to cleanse your country of (or at least monitor) your demi-humans. Such abominations are clearly the work of the Prince of Lies, and a danger to God-fearing humans.

The Smith groaned, it wasn't what he wanted but the time had finally come to reveal The Menagerie to the world. He would open their doors to not just wealthy connoisseurs but to the Everyman and the many bloodthirsty leaders of the world. The new market could provide them with great riches but it will not be long before somebody asks one too many questions and takes offence to their actions. Well there is no point worrying about the future, he have to live for now.
On an unencrypted radio signal seeming to issue from everywhere at once, "Greetings great people of this brave new world, I speak to you from The Menagerie. We are master catchers and keepers of magical beasts and we are glad to now have the chance to show you all what we do. We speak to you today to offer our services and wares, if you are intrigued please respond on this wavelength. Rest assured that all our magical farms are maintained to standards comparable to your mundane ones and we keep no intelligent creatures captive. While these creature are useful they should also be respected and we hope that everybody will follow suit."
"Greetings. I am Apollyon, representative of South Africa. We have recently opened our borders, and keen to hear what has changed in the world in our absence, we hear you have some presence in Africa. What is your goal, as an organisation?"
To the Algiers Consortium: [4]
Spoiler
"You speak of the British, what of other western powers? What of the East? Is the rivalry between the two still a threat to humanity?"
To the Papacy: [4]
Spoiler
"What do you mean by 'Demi-human'? Do you speak of humans with magical abilities? Magical creatures that resemble humans? The offspring of humans and other creatures?"
To the Menagerie: [4]
Spoiler
"Greetings, I am Apollyon, representative of the people of South Africa. We hear you have a presence in the Atlantic, and see that you are collectors of magical beasts. What is your interest in such things; Financial, academic, or something more?"
That rivalry is indeed still existent, and we fear with the advent of magic it will become more unstable. In Africa however the "west" seems to be solidly ahead in control. It is however possible that in most of Africa the dominant forces are neither, whether by choice as with out faction, or simply by disinterest.
Demi humans are any intelligent being sustained or created by magical effects, and their offspring. This does not include humans who have gained magical powers, unless they have used this to change their nature (lichs, for instance). It also would include elves, dwarves, centaurs, vampires, werewolves, as well as any offspring they may have had with proper humans. Angels, should it be proven that they truly are from the heavens, are of course exempt from this designation.

Greetings Apollyon, I am Aventis, I shall be your contact among The Menagerie. We have many sites along the Atlantic coasts of two continents so I hope we can be good neighbours. We at The Menagerie are fascinated by magical creatures, they have been our first experience of the world that had remained hidden to so many for so long. They have much to teach us about the power of magic, and if harnessed correctly they can be, or form, incredible tools. We have hundreds of years of experience with these beast which we are happy to share, for the right price. So in answer to your question, yes.
"I see. Thank you for your assistance. We will see about contacting others for more information. Was there anything you wanted to discuss?"
To the Papacy:
Spoiler
"I see. How do you know demi-humans are dangerous for society? We have not seen anything to indicate it ourselves."
To the Menagerie:
Spoiler
"Thank you for your response. Might we ask more questions, of your organisation as a whole? How many people live in your lands? Who rules your organisation? What is your general approach in international relations?
To Britain:
Spoiler
"Greetings. I am Apollyon, representative of the South Africa. No doubt you noticed your government noticed our isolation last decade. We have decided that it is now the time to reopen our borders. We hear your government has been active in Southern Africa during our absence. We thought it would be beneficial to open communications with you, and see if there was anything you wanted to talk with us about, as we will now be operating as a major power in this area."
We do not yet know how the prince of lies plan to use his new abominations, but that they are his spawn is undeniable. God has already created his perfect world - the one that we lived in prior to this cataclsym - and nothing in the Bible points him having any plan on creating such a disaster, or of creating new creatures. But if you look at them, it is easy to see how they are all simply distortions of humans - short humans, lithe humans, dead humans, humans mixed with other animals. Would it not be just like the Dark one to distort the work of God like so, then disguise it as a holy miracle so that we allow it to enter into our society and corrupt us.

Athens, such a beautiful city it had been expanded and revised several times in the last three years since Finias took it over.
Turning to his desk he saw what little recent happenings were in motion.
A Bulgarian diplomat was eaten by some Hydras that had escaped after provocation from him.
In the East The Sultan was being annoying asking for meetings and stuff.
And here in Greece it was a full house party, Crime was at an all time low, but some of the political families were restless and the magical beast's wanted a piece of the pie.
"Why not kill them all?" asked the General, no real last or first name he was always called that.
"Because even if its tempting they hold some strings that i use from them, my iron hold over the country perhaps several political marriages are in order.....coupled with executions that is."
"Oooh naughty Doctor, i always said i look well in black for weddings and funerals." A chill ran on the spines of every living being in the room........well those who were still alive at least and had one.
"Well.......okay time to start building stuff."

Because of the Chaotic climate as well the strengthening of the various pacts between all the Sentient beings in Greece, we shall abstain from your offer until such time comes that we are more stable.

The Iron Fist Brotherhood sends you the best wishes. We would like to talk to you about the troubles that may come. We know your opinion of us "Demi-Humans". Were not interested in discussing the fact about our history compared to humanities history but we share a common enemy. Vampires, Werewolfs, Demons, Devils, Trolls, Orcs, Goblins, Gnoll and many more other evil creatures, even human and demi-human demon and devil worshippers. Our fight is against them and we hope we can talk negotiate about facing this common threat together. May Stone and Steel protect us all.

Greetings, the Iron Brotherhood has taken an interest in your work. We are most interested in the method of containing these beasts. We ourselves are seasoned smiths and we have Runecrafter which use Runemagic to enhance our creations. Maybe we can learn from eachother and maybe even purshase your products.
The governing board of Azar had gathered for their quarterly report, on the same day and the same place they always did. The room was large, and richly decorated with the finest quality marble and wood. Large bullet-proof windows allowed the natural sunlight to illuminate the room without a glare. The meeting had been routine- reports on regional profits, government events, public relation issues that needed to be dealt with.
Mazilhendra was glad that her status allowed her to seem aloof, rarely needing or expected to comment on the mundane day to day goings of her company. She sat at the head of the table- sleek pulled-back silver hair, ornate silver wire-rim glasses perched on her nose, and a custom-crafted pant suit making her the very model of the cutthroat CEO. In her right hand, she softly rubbed a pair of golden coins together- a tick cultivated over a very long life. In truth, she was simply bored. She had better things to do than sit through a meeting with nothing new to offer her.
She blinked her unique, deep purple eyes as leaned back in her chair as her mind wandered to other things. She could feel that events were starting that would upset the current political power balance. It would be a very interesting year.

Hello, I am Hurcual, I will be your contact among The Menagerie. Typically all our offers would be for large quantities of money however times have changed and new deals are available. We would suggest an exchange on a like for like basis to start with, we have a lot to learn from each other without having to worry about payment. However we have reason to believe that you are having problems with some rare and dangerous magical beasts at the moment, perhaps you would let us have a look and maybe trade some prime breeding stock.

Greetings Grandmaster Thorgan Iron Fist, I am Durkov, I will be your contact among The Menagerie. We are very interested in learning about your defence magic and but fear our humble contraptions would not compare. Each of our creatures have very different requirements so our methods for keeping them vary, but the thought of a unified magical defence certainly appeals to us. We have many materials to offer your smiths, lots of creatures have very tough hides and bones. Or if you are still interested in stone then there are always the Basilisks.
The right people made sure to bring your offer up at the last picnic. The promise of magical animals is one that intrigues us. Do you have any Silky Pocket Mice?
to the Algiers Consortium
Spoiler
We took a look at your art, and it is just great. It was a moving experience that we hope could be shared on a more multimedia scale. Do you want to change the world for the power of understanding?
to the United Brotherhood
Spoiler
We're just looking for truth in this world rife with catacalysium. See you seem pretty cool, but we were wondering why you celebrate the conclusion of diversity. We hope our goals align and we can make a strong bond across the land made for you and me.
Nice to meet you then, i am Ilea.
We don't really have a trouble in our own grounds most beasts are left to rampage because........well depending on who you ask there is a different answer.
As for the Hydras which i assume you are talking about its a very complicated matter, but some feral ones we have on Macedonia could be left to be hunted by you as they seem to refuse to join or perhaps they lack intelligence something not uncommon.
Take care to have Gas masks with you as well fire, but beware as fire does some serious harm to the specimens and for some of them cutting their heads doesn't tire them but makes them stronger instead beware of those.
We suggest removal of a specific organ when caught, unless you do extensive damage the feral Hydra wont die and its relative easy should there be few heads to deal with.
That liver like organ they got can be made into anti-venom among other things its also where they synthesize a part of their famous gas, our Berserkers are known to eat it raw, but its not recommended doing so.
If you were speaking about the feral Hydras In return for them and for a local guide to get you to them as well some more details on them, we are interested in your stocks, what do you have for us.
ooc:Okay stats wise and fluff what are we doing? =P? You asked for hunting permission right?
Greetings. On behalf of Pontifex Michael, first of the name, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles and Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, the Papal States wishes to conduct business with you. We are in need of magical animals for medical and other forms of testing. In particular, we are looking for anything related to vampires, were-beings, fey, or trolls. Would we be able to purchase such animals from you for our own testing, or do you only deal in the information gained from the animals?

Michael I, Bishop of Rome, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God greets you. You are correct in assuming that the deadliest creatures must be destroyed first, as they have the most opportunities to spread the evil of the Prince of Lies. Do you have something that would help in our fight against these creatures, or are you simply trying to tell us something that any true human blessed by the divine would have already figured out?
Hydros
Spoiler
We wish to warn you of the dangers posed by your association with the demi-humans of Greece before it is too late. Though your country has long followed the wrong Pontiff, it has always been a bastion of the true faith, and I would not wish to see it turn into a modern Sodom and Gomorrah.

"Yo man, I'm Peace, I'll be your guide through the crazy world of magical beasts. We haven't seen any of those silky pocket mice but if we find any you'll be like the first to know. We got loads of other stuff though, this pixie dust stuff is amazing" Joe grimaced at how stupid he just sounded

Well if they are proving a nuisance then we would be happy to take them off of your hands. A regenerating source of scale and teeth could prove of use to our artificers. We could either pay you up front with magical hides, meats and bone bullets or we could offer you a cut of the profits gained from such an impressive beast.
OOC: It would be up to Arcane exactly how it will go, but the way I see it all of the magical beast stuff is a good excuse to add traits. For you it would involve letting my military unit in to your area but would potentially provide you with extra economy from my supply.

Spoiler
We are humbled that you would see fit to respond to us. I am Smith, and as head of The Menagerie I will explain to you the true extent of our knowledge. We have had bad experiences with corrupted humanoids in the past but through god's strength we have overcome them. We have in our supply many samples of fey creatures, they are tricky to deal with but we know your people will have the faith to overcome their magical charm. We would offer you one of each for your study, for the right price. As for the other creatures you mentioned we find that, on top of their well known weaknesses, none can resist a unicorn horn through the heart.
It's nice and queit down here. As for studying magical creatures, we would allow you to study a few of them, but must inform you that the Frost Wyrms are off limits. They've been our allies for a long time, and we have several working in our towers. Maybe one or two might agree to some tests, we'll ask them first.
Just remeber, when winter hits, humanity is far from the master down here.

Excellent. I am glad that you divined our intent so quickly.

Such matters are best discussed in person, I believe, so that no misunderstandings may be had. If you spread it on the floor, the circle on the back of this letter should be up to the task of summoning me so that we may talk.

Though only one side has any text on it, the parchment on which the message is written has been folded many times. A rough estimate puts the parchment to be a square meter in size when unfolded, and the back is almost entirely taken up by an array of runes. They seem to glow slightly, as if simply waiting to activate.

Greetings. We have received your invitation, and would like to discuss it with you further. From the way you addressed your message, I would assume that you have, sadly, fallen under the sway of Norse heathenism. We would be willing to allow you to set up a school in the Papal states, though any teachers or students would be required to attend mass on Sundays, as well as attend confession. Do you have any teachers that are willing to do this, or barring that, would you be willing to accept Church officials as students so that they may set up a branch school here?

We are willing to accept all gods, though most in the Order hold their Father, who founded the Order, to be their patron. I suspect that if a hall is established in your lands, many among those present will attend your religious functions, out of curiosity if nothing else. As to church officials, they will be accepted the same as any other who would seek to become an Apprentice of the Order.
I feel that you should be made aware that the oaths sworn upon being accepted as an Apprentice are made "before the eye of the Father", and that the fourth oath is to accept the judgement of the Father in regards to any oath so sworn. This might cause an issue, as I seem to recall something about not worshiping other gods within your text.
--Hroptr
OOC: These negotiations will be fun, especially if they reach the meeting stage...

We too, worship the Father. As well as his Son and the Holy Spirit, each independent and the same. If you accept all gods, shouldn't it be possible for an initiate to swear to the Father of his preference?
OOC - when your uber religious haters of the newest most popular miracle, it seems like every interaction is interesting
