i came to his weird taxidermy tent and asked for assistance of an arcane nature. he insulted my manner of existence and made crude allusions. naturally, i stormed out of the structure and sought the aid of a visiting coven instead.

later, the fool caused a thaumaturgic disaster over a matter of sales. the local weave will never be the same, and i fear the realm's gate may destabilize.

the mage guild must take action. such backalley scammers give those of us who truly respect this fine craft a bad name, not to mention the risks associated with ill-guided power.

Following the imprisonment of the current EON Chancellor by... someone and due to the fact that we haven't had an election in...

Checks notes

Fuck! These were supposed to be monthly! We just let the devil run the government for HALF A YEAR?!

Ahem.

In any case, first step to amending that is holding a gala. Which is to say the Bastion (EON headquarters in the city of Maelstrom) is going to have an open bar and let you scream obscenities at the candidates for Chancellor... er... or ask them questions about policy.

Without further ado.

THE CANDIDATES

10 Suns, Bismuth Realms: 10 Suns is the world spirit and High Administrator of the Bismuth Realms, an artificial elemental plane first created by the Bismuth Lord. True to their name, 10 Suns is comprised of, well... ten suns, each one embodying one of the ten winds of magic.

10 has served EON as substantial military support in various crises and was one of the leading contributors to the construction of the Bastion. Bismuth policy since their Realms creation has been the establishment of "Perfect Order" though 10 diverges from their predecessor in trying to accomplish this through diplomacy rather than force if arms.

10 Suns currently serves EON on the Tribunal and their promotion to Chancellor would immediately trigger a runoff for their former tribunal seat.

Artemis and Vulkan, Dragon Bloc: In a shocking alignment of pro-draconic values Vulkan the Red, Dictator of Lemarcia and devout of Tiamat has aligned with Artemis, Empress of Tak'ath and daughter or Paladine.

The freshly formed "Dragon Bloc" promises that their fundamentally opposed worldviews will not interfere with their pro-dragon agenda. After checking our code of laws we found that there was actually no formal rule against two national leaders holding the seat together, and so this nonsense continues.

They aparently intend to divide the Bastion into "hot" and "cold" sides. Also Vulkan attached a list of campaign promises that appears to just be death threats in all caps. Wait, no. That was my personal mail. Unrelated to the campaign, my apologies.

Koranth, Ice Queen of the Northern Expanse: A relative newcomer on the international stage, the extradimensional entity known as Koranth is one of several atypical draconic beings that remain opposed to Vulkan and Artemis's declaration of representing all dragonkind.

Ruler, frost mage, dragon, former avatar of fear, dimensional alien, inventor, and experimental arcane physician, Koranth's goals trend toward the humanitarian with the occasional spree of mass-homicide to get there. So utilitarian, more or less.

Lappland Saluzzo, High Marshal of the Celestial Union: A longtime member of the EON in good standing, the Celestial Union's primary contribution to EON has been in matters of military conflict and has gone unequaled in that capacity since EON's founding due to the might if their interstellar navy.

The Celestial Union is a spacefaring arcane technocracy of halo-bearing entities that are often mistaken for angels but assure us they are not. They promise common-sense fituristic egalitarian governance in a world still primarily ruled by medieval terrestrial monarchs.

Sigurd, Representative of Baryogenesis: The Mage known as Sigurd the completionist, is the elected representative of the communal settlement of Baryogenesis which shares a name with the cosmological state that gave birth to the first protons and neutrons, as the settlement was built to withstand the end of the world. Sigurd intends to bring the same doomsdsy-prepper energy that led him to do that to the office of Chancellor, to better prepare EON for the threats of tomorrow.

Part time researcher and full time home invader, Sigurd was instrumental in helping Krygin the Crude implement his campaign promise of the EON Wizard Olympics.

(UW/ THE ELECTION BEGINS 24 HOURS AFTER THIS POST. THE NEXT CHANCELLOR WILL TAKE OFFICE ON APRIL 1ST)

They are called 'smartphones' and 'smartwatches', and SOME of these children are so informed about the infinitesimal possibility of being summoned that they load up these devices with knowledge from their world, gaining an advantage in combining the laws of their world with the laws of yours.

"Oh my that would be great!" you say, until one day, one of them decides to read the saved article on splitting atoms and decides to DO THAT in the courtyard because "it's just one atom, how bad can it b-" and suddenly you are the greatest Court Wizard of the greatest kingdom that no longer exists.

Take the glass, take the wristband, hell, even take the spectacles and heal their eyes just to be sure, and give them all to your local dragon; they've seen enough freshly lost kingdoms before to know why you're disturbing their slumber. In fact, they will probably even let you touch their hoard as a reward (for a second, then shoo!), because dragons are aware that they can't plunder what doesn't exist.

Or you can ignore this, and YOU can explain to the council why the junior apprentice is using elemancy to transmute the enemy's castle walls into white phosphorus, making them unable to approach the eternal hellfire.

Don't forget to put this infographic everywhere information is stored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Or I will eat you {Except the for the ones into that, I'm looking at you Adam} )

EON Elections

First things first—though I’ve been an amazing chancellor, all great things must come to an end. Our next chancellor elections will likely take place in March. Any EON delegate who wishes to be added to the ballot, please leave a comment below. We’re compiling a list of all candidates.

EON Court Case

We’re about to hold our first-ever EON international court case, courtesy of 10 Suns and Atriox. Naturally, this raises the question of who will serve as judge for the event. After some cooperative discussions, I’ve established the following laws:

"The Tribunal is to preside over legal disputes within EON. In the event that there is a conflict of interest involving one or more Tribunal members, a neutral party must be assigned to replace them. The neutral party is to be selected by the remaining Tribunal member(s) and must be an EON representative. If no neutral Tribunal members are available for the dispute, the chancellor may assign three individuals to preside over the case."

"In the rare event that both the Tribunal and the chancellor have a conflict of interest, any EON member may be elected by vote to preside over the case, provided they are not affiliated with the dispute."

These laws may be subject to revision in the future but should be serviceable for now.

Since 10 Suns is a Tribunal member, they must be replaced as a judge due to a conflict of interest. The one confirmed judge is Guardian Logos (u/VinesAtMidnight), and we’re still waiting for confirmation from Hazema (u/user125666).

Guardian Logos will be responsible for selecting a replacement judge for 10 Suns in the trial. If any EON delegate is interested in the position, please comment below requesting to be considered.

Law Update

Both the Diplomatic Immunity laws and Criminal Extradition laws from the last EON meeting have been successfully voted in.

Foreign Petition for Help

This one might be a bit overdue, but I honestly thought I would have stepped down as chancellor by now.

EON has been petitioned by members of the Ash Council to send aid to Roan. Please vote here on whether you are for or against providing assistance.

It’s time to start the campaign once again. The council has no right to regulate such things.

The unga plegue left more catfish wizards than can be counted in the worlds lakes, rivers, and seas. They need good homes, friends to love them, care for them, and feed them snacks.

Adopt a feeeeesh today!

This is all unwiz

I have been wondering the value of the coins in the world our characters are in. Obviously we have copper, silver, gold, and platinum.

How much copper is worth a silver? How much silver is worth a gold? And so forth.

Does anyone have a general rule in pricing things, like is there a standard price for an item’s worth, or do all of y’all just fuckin’ wing it rofl.

I just don’t want to underprice or overprice whatever Vytsky sells, and I just want to understand more of the currency.

So if wizards took over and divided the world up into mini-countries for each wizard to run how would you run your piece? And how would your magical specialization influence your rule?

Let’s assume there is a pretty good information quarantine between states. So your people might not know what/remember life is like anywhere but here and now.

We are putting together a drunk driving event to show how fun and safe it can be. This is our next big push to get this stupid law overturned.

Maria Madroon sat by the window, watching the rain trace patterns against the glass.

She had been here for… weeks? Months? She wasn’t sure anymore. Time blurred together in the quiet solitude of her single-room home in the Little Lamplight. The staff was kind, the accommodations comfortable, and yet, none of it mattered. Not without Vincent.

No one would tell her what happened. They avoided the topic like a plague, offering reassurances that felt more like well-rehearsed lines than genuine sympathy. He left, they said. He moved on. As if Vincent would ever leave without her. As if she wouldn’t have known.

She’d searched every corner of the resort, called his name into every hall. She’d begged the staff, pleaded with anyone who would listen. But in a world ruled by magic, what did the concerns of a normal woman matter? To them, she was background noise, a remnant of something already gone.

Maria had always known the world didn’t belong to people like her. Wizards built cities in the sky and dungeons beneath the earth. They waged wars, bent reality to their will, and expected the rest to simply endure. What was one more missing husband in their grand equation? One more life erased by something they didn’t care to explain?

And yet, Samantha let her stay. The mysterious owner of the Lamplight, a woman spoken of only in hushed tones, had offered her this room indefinitely. No charge. Stay as long as you want. Maria should have been grateful.

Instead, she felt trapped.

She traced her fingers along the wooden table, thinking of Vincent’s laugh, his sleepy morning voice, the way he’d reach for her in the dark. It should have been impossible for someone to simply disappear. But in this world, impossibilities were everyday occurrences.

Magic had taken him from her. And magic would never care enough to give him back.
