Ash 123 AS
Current State of the Imperium
The Imperium is in a relatively peaceful state across all of its regions, though peaceful can be difficult to define depending on who you are. The events of the Eclipse are still being felt, but a sense of normalcy has begun to return despite the still prevalent shadow creatures in certain smaller towns and the pervasive winter.
In Tranal a new factory has been established by G.I.M. Co dedicated to the pursuit of medical magitech research. Hospitals in both Tranal and Gelerand are recieving new advanced equipment at the end of Ash, and there are rumors among the Imperial Military that certain augmentations may become available to soldiers in the next year. The Dardouen dutchy has been the most impacted by the continuous winter. Harvests are significantly smaller, leading to significantly fewer exports of certain grains and other crops to surrounding regions. This becomes more noticeable at the end of Ash as all grain based food products grow more expensive in Gelerand, Tranal and especially Alaris. There are growing concerns that food stores in Alaris will begin to run out before the end of Winter, and while the dutchy does have its own means of agriculture it primarily subsists on what animals can be hunted or raised. Production of dried and cured meats increases in Alaris, and throughout Ash the usually active military zones steadily decrease in movement as the region and its people prepare for a harsh winter.
With Ash also comes an increase in the undead activity across all dutchy, especially in Gelerand. Pockets of miasma begin to collect especially in remote regions of Gelerand, and undead begin to appear with more and more frequency, typically non-sentient zombies and shades. In areas with large deposits of ichor dark colored slimes begin to form as well. The Imperial Inquisition starts to send out its exorcists near the start of Ash to travel the roads of every region, each group consisting of at least one Exorcist and two or more Prior or Acolytes. Requests for aid can also be sent through one of the Imperial Churches found in most towns and cities in every dutchy.
Despite all of the gloom that Ash 123 brings with it, there is one point of excitement. The Legion Games officially started on the 1st of Ash, 123. The 32 teams began their first rounds after a large opening ceremony that was broadcasted across the Hub system. With the perpetual winter season the Generals this year have developed both their squads and tactics around winter combat and the difficult snowy terrain especially in the arenas in the Tranal dutchy. Excitement over the Games is as high as it every was, perhaps more so given the situation across the rest of the Imperium.
