Incident at Little Kaltir Sheds Light on Unknown Substance

24.05.2466

A deadly incident at Little Kaltir finally revealed the nature of the dark substance found buried under ice. The morning began with screams echoing through Little Kaltir. A dead crewmember was found in his quarters. The corpse had wounds similar to third-degree acid burns and was covered in a black slimy substance. A medical necropsy revealed that he was suffocated while sleeping. His lungs were full of a sticky substance identified as the one found last year. Upon hearing of the death, Captain Tajrhalrr Zarkradhir ordered the total lockdown of the base. Its personnel were put on alert as the armory was opened.

When the deposits were checked, the barrels used to store the substance were found to be damaged and empty. The whereabouts of the slime were uncovered when a mechanic reported a massive black pool in one of the machine rooms. Upon entering the room, the black liquid advanced toward the Tajara. Yevgeniy Chalnik suggested using a farwa to lure the anomaly. As the animal was pushed into the chamber, the mass enveloped it. While it was distracted with its prey, the sailors opened fire with ballistic weapons. The substance proved to be highly resilient against the bullets. After consuming the farwa, it attempted to escape. It was only stopped when a crewmember set it on fire using a flamethrower.

After the substance was contained, its remains and the farwa were analyzed. The animal had burns and asphyxiation similar to the body found in the morning. The fire consumed the slime, leaving behind a foul-smelling stain on the floor. Yevgeniy Chalnik proposed that the anomaly was some kind of colony of organisms that hibernated until it needed to feed. Prince Arseny Rogozhin argued it was a rejected Ancient Tajara experiment, likely sealed away millions of years ago.

The incident was discussed at the Parliament. Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh urged the expedition to avoid dangerous situations as replacing their losses was expensive. Prince Serhiy Oliinyk praised the explorers for dealing with the situation. Count Tscherim Sanguszkho proposed collecting more of the substance to use it as a weapon. Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas proposed bombarding the pole north with incendiary shells before further exploration. Queen Shumaila Azunja decided to not interfere in the situation, she only asked for more caution.

Captain Tajrhalrr Zarkradhir is currently sending scouting teams to locate and map more deposits of the anomaly. The expedition was warned to avoid the known locations of the substance until more can be learned about it. The sailors at Little Kaltir decided to name it Polar Tar. The academic body at the New Kingdom expressed great interest, with many researchers asking for samples to be shipped to the homeland.

Rescue Mission Proposes Climbing Mount Zho'takh

20.06.2466

With the ongoing race to the summit of Mount Zho'takh, Yevgeniy Chalnik has asked the parliament for permission to organize a team to climb the mountain. The mount is the last unconquered peak in Adhomai. The researcher argued that reaching it would yield valuable information, alongside the possibility of building an observatory to aid in the search for the missing expedition. The Hadiist and Al'mariist states have also announced their plans to climb Zho'takh.

At the Parliament, the request was discussed. Prince Serhiy Oliinyk supported the proposal, arguing that reaching the top would be a moral victory for Royalism. Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas called the idea a waste of time and resources. Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh was in favor of the expedition, proposing contracting the megacorporations and national companies to provide more equipment and vehicles. Count Tscherim Sanguszkho approved the idea, saying that Mount Zho'takh held the key to unlock the entrance of Aghar'mahrk. Queen Shumaila Azunja complied with the request and offered further funds to the mission.

The expedition is now preparing for its journey. Multiple hot air balloons are being brought to scout the path. The best Zarr’jiri and Nomad troopers are being selected to guide the explorers. Supply will be brought using sleds. Since the Kingdom's presence is fairly limited to the coast, the team was also tasked with finding a suitable position to build an advanced outpost to increase control in the area. Captain Tajrhalrr Zarkradhir ordered the expedition to bring flamethrowers. Prince Arseny Rogozhin asked to be allowed to take part in the climbing, but his request was denied by Zarkradhir and Chalnik.

If the team can reach the summit in time, they will be tasked with laying the foundations of an observation outpost. This facility will then be used to aid in the search of the missing expedition.

Mysterious Graveyard Thefts Continue

23.07.2466

Constables in Miran’mir remain puzzled by unusual thefts occurring in the city’s graveyards. Grave robbery is sadly no rare occurrence in the north’s graveyards. As an unfortunate fact of reality, gravediggers are often forced to be vigilant for any signs of theft or vandalism in the Kingdom. But these strings of thefts baffle the constabulary and terrify the citizens. Gravediggers at the struck cemeteries have little to report on the robbers aside from vague descriptions of all-black clothing and the speed at which they conduct their robberies. The gruesome details are left for the constables to investigate come morning.

The horrific details link together these grave robbery cases. Each one of these coffins unlawfully dug up is not looted for any jewellery buried with the deceased. Instead, the heads of each corpse have been removed and the coffin is left lying open for workers to discover. It remains unknown as to why these graves are being targeted. Previous victims have included the theology professor Hakim Yas’miri, supposed miracle worker and Sun Priest Okegg Birkhaniz, and locally famous circus magician Harinana Zamkir. The unusual choice of victims has led constables to believe that the robbers are targeting graves at random for their disgusting acts.

In 9 cases at separate graveyards, the constables have responded by increasing night patrols and establishing watchmen in graveyards yet to be struck by the graverobbers. All graves that have been robbed have been burials conducted this year. Any citizen with information that could lead to an arrest will be awarded with money and honours from the mayoral office of Miran’mir.

Kingdom Reveals its Space Force; Her Majesty’s Stellar Armada Sets Off in its Maiden Voyage

15.08.2466

Since the Armistice, the Kingdom has been working on establishing a space force. Today, the fruits of this long project have been unveiled: Her Majesty’s Stellar Armada. The ships were built on the orbit of Adhomai by Rahimkulov Interstellar with the aid of megacorporations. Their crews were picked from the most experienced members of the Merchant Flotilla. The first ships have already departed for their maiden voyage. Military personnel, nobles, and guests watched them undock from the orbital shipyards. The Armada will reach the edge of the system and then return to Adhomai. The launch was transmitted through television. radio and extranet. Pubs were full of Tajara watching this historic moment.

At the Parliament, the voyage was celebrated. Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh talked about the future economic opportunities created by the Stellar Armada. Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas praised the creation of another force to defend the Kingdom's military interests. Prince Serhiy Oliinyk proposed using the space force to help protect future scientific expeditions in the system. Count Tscherim Sanguszkho suggested using the ships to find clues about the Ancient Tajara presence outside of Adhomai. Field-Marshal Vyakelas Klyuchevsky promised to continue commissioning more spacecraft to further bolster the fleet's forces. Queen Shumaila Azunja ordered the Stellar Armada and the Merchant Flotilla to cooperate in establishing some foothold in S'rand'marr.

After returning from their maiden voyage, the Stellar Armada will be tasked with protecting the Merchant Flotilla ships in S'rand'marr and the Badlands. Alongside the creation of the fleet itself, a new military corps was established to aid in any kind of offensive action in space: the Royal Fusiliers. These soldiers will protect the vessels and act as boarding units if necessary. The first recruits are already being deployed alongside the Armada's crew. They will be armed with the Varnoshyk Automatic Rifle.

So far, no other Adhomian nation has reacted to the launch of the Stellar Armada. It is unknown if it might lead to another crisis similar to the entrance of the Al'mariist ships in the system last year. To incentivize pirate hunting, Rahimkulov Interstellar offered to buy any captured ship brought to their shipyard.

The Crown Accepts the Proposal from the Parivara about the Eclipse

21.10.2466

The common people of the Kingdom have become worried about the news of the unexpected eclipse. The Crown has issued an announcement asking all of its subjects to remain calm, it will protect them no matter what. Representatives from the Parivara have approached Her Majesty to help prepare for the Shi-rra Arr'Kahata. The church is asking for further funds and cooperation with the authorities to provide proper religious support. Queen Shumaila Azunja called an emergency meeting with the Parliament to discuss the matter.

Her Majesty urged the Parliament to accept the proposal. Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas agreed, saying that superstitions were important for the morale of the military. Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh suggested contracting the corporations to further aid them with supplies and broadcasts. Despite citing the necessity of separating religion from government, Prince Serhiy Oliinyk supported the idea to help placate the population. Count Tscherim Sanguszkho called the event "a sign of the inevitable return of the Ancient Tajara and the destruction of all alien and mixed-bred bastards.". With total support from the Parliament, the Crown has started to work with the Parivara.

Corporate security, alongside the constabulary, will protect the churches offering shelter during the eclipse. Prayers will be broadcast over the radio, television, and extranet services. A national holiday, with full pay, was also announced. The Stellar Armada will halt its return in the day to avoid any incident. Reportedly, upon hearing about the tradition of Dholmatyr from District Six, Crown Heir Zhakmar asked for a Cavern Geist costume to be made for him for the celebrations.

The Nation Celebrates the Day of Rightful Restoration

27.10.2466

Today, the Kingdom celebrated its independence from the old colonial powers and the Hadiist tyrant. It is the third day of Rightful Restoration under the rule of Queen Shumaila Azunja. Pubs, restaurants, theaters, and museums operated at their maximum capacity throughout the day. The streets and balconies were full of people gathering to watch the parade.

With Field-Marshal Vyakelas Klyuchevsky at the front, they left from the Imperial Palace. As per tradition, the Ras'nrr Expeditionary Force Marines and sailors were its vanguards. The Imperial Dragoons and Royal Grenadiers were the first ones to represent the land forces followed by the Alam'ard and armored forces. Rock Nomad, Amohdan, and Zarr’jir brigades closed the procession. Autogyros and balloons carrying the Kingdom's flag flew over the city. The parade ended at the port, where the soldiers greeted the ships used in the war. Crown Heir Zhakmar was invited to board a carrier; Queen Shumaila only granted the permission after he vigorously asked for it.

The Imperial Palace hosted a feast with the presence of the Parliament, the nobility, and notable guests. Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh met with some politicians and representatives from corporations about the upcoming elections. Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas signed some uniforms and medals of war heroes present at the gathering. Prince Serhiy Oliinyk spent his time in a brief private meeting with Her Majesty; what was discussed during this is still up to debate; before retiring to his home. Count Tscherim Sanguszkho brought a barrel of Darmadhir Brew to the celebration. King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik attended the celebrations but decided to stay in the Palace's gardens during it.

Little Adhomai celebrated the holiday as well. The off-world community danced, drank, and sang at the feet of the gun of the Sleeping Cannon Pub. They eat fine dishes produced by the best goods imported from Adhomai. 

On this day, Her Majesty’s Stellar Armada also reported that it reached its first destination a week ago: the edge of S'rand'marr, beyond Sani'Orios. The ships are now returning to Adhomai, ready to be greeted as heroes.
