Slavery is strictly outlawed in Isara, and they do not suffer slaves to come through their ports, but it is still common for slave to be trafficked through the realm, marched in secret through the deep desert rather than sailed through the canal.

As of July 12, 2020 Berg is formally advanced to Knight by both the Lore and Infrastructure ministry.

The nearly blind Tarun people are an oddity to most foreigners, but the Tarun women, known for dressing in beautiful yet revealing outfits have begun to be fetishized by outsiders. Artwork depicting them has found its way around the world and piqued interest and libido. Little do they know, that the reality of Tarun aesthetic is far more terrifying than artwork depicts.

The amphitheater that served as the meeting hall of the trade council was older than even the canal itself, it had always been used for some form of government purpose. The carved stone pillars rose high and red fabric was stretched between them to offer some shade to the occupants below. Household banners danged from lines stretched above, some new some old, each a different color and pattern and bearing the written name of the house on it in the ornate Isaran script.

Everyone there bustled in conversation, the stranding of the Semperdataria was holding up trade on both sides of the canal and everyone feared the worst. Every day meant a loss of coin for some merchant and a windfall for another who would charge exorbitant storage fees. Crime was expected to sore as more and more goods became backed up on both banks. Some measure of safety came from the swiftness that goods moved through the canal.

A knocking came from the dias at the center of the amphitheater and the noise died down at the caucus was bought to order. All around the upper landing were people keen to watch and glean what they could form the talking and decisions made.

“The Semperdataria is the only topic for discussion.” The head of the caucus said, and signed although he fumbled through the name of the ship. “Goods move via camel east to west, but it is slow and only serves to drive transport costs higher. Some effort has been made by the maintenance crews to dislodge the ship from the walls but only so much can be done.”

He sighed and leaned against the Dias. “ideas?”

The room was largely silent until a woman stood up near the back. She was not as dark skinned as the rest, and had hazel eyes that seemed too bright when the sun barely touched them. Her broad build and height marked her as E’Dorn, a mixed blood Isaran/Helian. There were some grumbles at her rise but she was a citizen of Isara and Helios both and held more sway than others would like.

“Yes Ambria of Teshal eh Helios.” The head of the caucus regarded her with both word and sign and gestured to her to speak.

She took a deep breath and raised her hands and sighed a few greetings to all present. Her gestures were perfect; it was no mistake that she was one of them. She was third generation after all, she had only been to Helios once in her whole life. “Representatives. We have ten heavy Drafts between the east and west end of the canal. We could have them to the wreck and properly harnessed within two days. They are strong creatures as you know and at the least may be able to drag the vessel from its current place, enough at least for it to be pulled to the side for repairs or towed out if it is still sea worthy.”

There was some more vocal grumbling, some in agreement and others not wishing to rely on them.

“If that is not satisfactory I could defer to Commander Frakes, he told me only this morning he intends to slam one of his warships into it, easier to clean up pieces than trying to salvage the ship.”

The whole Caucus was silent. She Did not sign the former statement and they knew she meant it to be as factual as she could.

Another rose and gestured to her. “We have the Hawks patrolling the east, and the Dorn but be keeping the West safe if they are willing to sacrifice a ship to slam into this, Semper-Dat-amia, This may be the best option for now. I say we let them try.”

The Penitent Legion of Alkourie, Also known as The Chains, is a fanatical group of fighters who have given their lives to Alkourie. They are known for wearing permanently locked manacles round their neck or wrists. They are chained to the battlefield. They only know freedom from the legion in death, when the shackles are cut off. Those who join do so for many reasons, fanaticism, repentance for gross cowardliness, or even as a form of punishment after a crime.

Brigandine, also known as a "Coat-Of-Plates," is a style of armor made from small metal plates riveted to canvas and leather in an articulated fashion. It has grown in popularity in Helios among those in Helios unable to afford higher end armor like chain or half-plate. As the population has grown in recent years keeping pace to armor and arm the populace has given rise to this easy to produce and protective armor.
