Stone Bay: Difference between revisions

This year also saw [[Arimaex]]'s betrayal of Stone Bay. The former Court Mage revealed himself as a lich, and was consorting with the dark dragon [[Valynclex]] for power and control. Conflict erupted between Arimaex and Kara as a whole. The [[Battle of the Eternum Glades]] concluded this conflict, resulting in seventeen dead Karans, the neutralisation of Valynclex, and the death of Arimaex.

Arimaex's defeat did not spell the end of conflict during the regency era. [[Dragone Collins]], a [[Nieseatian]] diplomat, was assassinated on Karan soil. This brought the ire of [[Macadier Maldore]], archmage and Archon of Nieseat, who levied threats and intimidations towards Stone Bay. ~~Ulysses~~ defused the political tension by signing a non-aggression pact with Archon Macadier. For ten years, there was peace in Stone Bay.

Peace was broken in the year 911. During the [[January 7th Parliament]], Macadier Maldore interrupted the session by teleporting Ulysses Mountbatten, Lord Marshal [[Arthur Justice]], and Lord Chancellor [[Blue Mountbatten]] to the [[Ahdredan]]. Leaderless, Stone Bay was [[Occupation of Stone Bay|occupied]] by the Nieseatian leadership.

To counteract Nieseatian influence, powerful Baymen like [[Benjamin Lascelles]] and Rowan Umber willingly entered Nieseatian institutions. Inside these organisations, they purposefully caused delays and mishaps to buy time for the Mountbattens and the Justice to return from the Ahdredan. Their plans resulted in the deaths of key Nieseatian officials, [[Folkmod Erendellen]] and [[Drace Latimeer]], crippling Nieseat's governing capacity significantly until their revolution began. The rebellion occurred after a series of events led to the theft of the [[Lunar Crown]]. This artifact ended up in the hands of the Church of the Deep, who crowned [[Sillas Deepcreek]] as the second king of Stone Bay.

== The Second King, Sillas Deepcreek ==

Sillas Deepcreek's accession to the [[Prismarine Throne]] was a direct act of rebellion against Nieseat. Using the magic of the Throne, King Sillas retrieved Ulysses Mountbatten, Blue Mountbatten, and Arthur Justice from the Ahedredan. ~~Sillas~~ remained king for the remainder of the war but returned executive power to Lord Mayor Ulysses. Following a declaration of war by the Lord Mayor, Stone Bay led a coalition of Karan nations against the Nieseatian invaders, kickstarting the [[Nieseatian War]].

Following the [[Battle in the Battery]], Stone Bay enjoyed a brief period of peace. During a session of Prismarine Court, King Sillas voluntarily abdicated on the condition that Ulysses Mountbatten would take his place. ~~Ulysses~~ accepted, acceding to the Prismarine Throne as the third King of Stone Bay.

== The Third King, Ulysses Mountbatten ==

King Ulysses' reign began in relative peace. His first act as king was to deliver various artifacts, stolen from the [[Fellrook]], to the [[Behli Lothren]] for safekeeping away from Kara. The aforementioned peace would not last long. During a session of [[Parliament]], the goddess [[Moder Jord]] appeared before the room. She made deliberate threats against Stendahl, specifically [[Bill Blackrock]], before leaving. Stone Bay initially remained neutral in the conflict between Stendahl and Moder Jord, but entered the fight after the goddess' forces attacked Orlan. Stone Bay would provide military assistance to Stendahl during and after the [[Fall of Dhara]], and its [[Navy]] was key to winning the subsequent [[Battle for Dhara]] at the end of [[Moder Jord's Invasion]].

The [[Fey Incursion]] heavily impacted the Kingdom of Stone Bay. Various archfey, under the influence and coercion of [[ Granny Hildegard]], attempted to take root in Kara. [[Captain Dalos]], archfey of the [[Spring Court]], levelled a courthouse in Stone Bay during his [[war games]]. The [[Fantastical Surveyor]] created the [[Mayhill]] underneath [[Steward's Cross]]. Lastly, and most importantly, the [[Lord of Rot]] created the [[Wolcott]] with [[Osten Credence]]'s help just southeast of Stone Bay. After Hiildegard was defeated in her games, any interference from the Feywild in Stone Bay's endeavours was soundly halted.

King Ulysses also oversaw the [[DEW-Figh Conflict in Kara]], opting to remain neutral rather than pledge Stone Bay's support to either side. When [[face-stealers]] were released due to this conflict, ~~Ulysses~~ demanded that the Determiners and the Figh to resolve the matter. Stone Bay's forces assisted in defeating the face-stealers, of which included ~~Ulysses~~, who fought on the frontlines being one of the few Karans who could singlehandedly destroy a face-stealer.

Under his reign, the Kingdom of Stone Bay extended its reach beyond its city walls with the repealment of the Sovereignty Act; sovereign nations, such as Stendahl, have been vassalised; and Stone Bay's police and military have been expanded greatly, with the establishment of the [[Royal Guard]] and the [[Legion]].
