Fairhaven under attack
The third cycle of 2557 has seen a resurgence of Marauder activity on all lands, which has been quite distressing for homins. Liberty Lakes was recently attacked by scores of Marauders who call themselves the Cynics of Liberty. We were given short notice of their actions, as the warning came a mere Atys day before their appearance:
Tryker Citizens, your time is near!
Although you effectively stopped the convoy, I was still able to get an adequate amount of materials to the Cynics of Liberty. These fierce fighters, supported by my brave warriors, are ready! The sap will flow… Prepare yourselves for confrontation! I will be your executioner and this will be my trial run!
Akilia Ash Storm
Cynics first attacked Avendale, and so swift was their movement that we could only witness the mayhem when we teleported in. All of Avendale had been hit; no officer, trainer, trader or passerby was left standing. They were repelled eventually, but another host was soon reported to have hit Windermeer.
Homins on the lookout first spotted a large number of Cynics swimming fast towards Fairhaven from the North of Greenvale, Akilia Ash Storm leading them. Many homins from all of Atys converged to Fairhaven, and started to throw elemental spells from the docks of Windy Head as the Cynics passed by. To everymin’s amazement, these Marauders were able to counter-attack from the water itself, and did so even while moving! A fair number were taken down, but still a good host remained that landed on the beach just North of the main capital entrance. Citizens and homins were ready for them this time, though, and repelled the Cynics and Akilia their leader at the gates of Fairhaven.
Although the Karavan guards are present at the very gate of Fairhaven next to the Teleport, it is to be noted that they did not intervene, and that they were left unscathed. Clearly, they consider the increased Marauder activity to be be a concern only to hominity, and not to them.
In the aftermath of battle, it was noted that, curiously, E’Cauty Eoppie also seems to have been left unscathed in spite of battle raging all around him. He is being questioned by Lakeland authorities for possible charges of illicit dealings with the Cynics.
Other investigations are underway to identify those who killed Yubos in Avendale; Cynics themselves do not seem to attack fauna at all.
