Hope the Shadow Elemental - (Jbehler64)
Hope had ambitious projects, as he wished to gather precise data about the kingdom. Unfortunately, such an endeavor would take a tremendous amount of resources and time.
The number of citizens was unknown, as there was no organized administration yet. Hope knew roughly that setting up some form of agriculture and livestock farming was among the many projects of the kingdom, as until then you had been constantly moving, thus relying on hunting and gathering.
You have been at Mount Tartarus for a week or two, and just conquered it yesterday. You came here after traveling a bit, looking for a land where to settle. For the same reason you didn't know the number of citizens, it was hard to determine your current forces as every citizen was considered part of your forces. After all, many still fought for their lives daily a mere days ago.
The majority of citizens gathered to the Mt Tartarus after hearing the call of Radeus, a powerful mental call that used the Tear as a catalyst.
From what you know, the Tear currently covers the whole region of Mount Tartarus. It barely reaches the Distance 0 regions.
Meeting the Forgotten Guards:[-] Hope met with the Forgotten Guards. Animated Armors from an unknown era, they bore no rust nor dent, and their armors were carved with very intricate lines and designs. They lived in the ruins of the Tartarus, protecting it from intruders. They were pacified by Radeus. Now part of Zethe, they work as security enforcers, as most of them are unable to leave the ruins without dying.
[4] Through their meeting, they shared with him more information about the Tartarus and its ruins.
The ruins under Tartarus are labyrinthine in nature, and made of several sealed levels. None of them know what they guard, but they know it to be their purpose. They don't know how to open the ruins, nor what they house.
There were two kind of Ores found on and under Mt Tartarus: a black mineral, similar to obsidian in appearance only called Nigredine, and a vibrant white mineral called Albedine. Both minerals sport phenomenal hardness, and possibly unknown properties.
Resource Analyzed: Ore (Nigredine and Albedine)They also revealed that a rare flower sprouts on the highest peaks of Mount Tartarus, there is a whole flower field nested in a hidden area. They are called Cleridea, but not much is known about them.
Resource Discovered: Rare Plant (Cleridea)Information Gathering:[1] Nevertheless, Hope tried to work toward the task he sets his sights on. During the day, he spoke with various citizens to gather information, and during the night, he spread his shadow to increase his sensitivity. Unfortunately, Hope was unable to reach satisfying results within the week, as gathering the information he needed was much more time and energy consumming than he initially expected. The fact that the whole kingdom was busy working, and that he was alone on that task naturally didn't help.
Hope's endeavors were fruitless.---------------------EVENTS---------------------
>
The food situation of Zethe has started to stabilize, thanks to efforts of many monsters knowledgeable in the ways of plants. The kingdom has currently no agricultural knowledge, instead relying on instinct and rough knowledge. The situation won't last though, and the monsters in charge of food production are pondering several options...
>
The first level of the Ruins has been accomodated. It can now houses important officials and possibly more.
>
While crude, all monsters of Zethe now have lodgings. There is a single district for now.
