At the seventh day of the week, Sunday, after the 7 days of the Cabinet Meeting broadcast, the populace of New City were all spending their morning at the Largest Cathedral of Faith, In New City, it was the Cathedral were named as, The Royal Kaiser Cathedral, named in honour of the Aeternum Royal Family named. Unlike the usual morning sermon at the Cathedral, where each religion would be separated on their own hall of beliefs. Today the Morning Sermon or Morning Prayer, were being performed at the Centre Hall, it was safe to say that previously this Centre Hall were just a massive area for the Cathedral management to do their business and the faithful to rest and waited to enter their house of belief and worship.Yet today, the Centre Hall were furnished and set up to become the Sunday Morning Sermon area, with all the religious head come together in harmony and in faith for today event. It was a big sermon event safe to say, and even the Cathedral entrance door were opened and conf
Aeternum is a nation that has achieved a true compromise and respect in between different religion. No one were allowed to insult and disregards another person belief, and such offence can even be brought to court for trial. It is not some empty words that Aeternum government were very strict in upholding this beliefs, hence this is why, for many religion inside of Aeternum, rather than feeling repulsive of Aeternum, they instead were very grateful and cooperative to preserved such nation and society that allowed coexistence at this degree. Only an Aeternum that an Orc that worship their tribal gods were not labeled as heretic and barbarians by anyone, not even human races that used to insult them said anything at them in Aeternum. As such if Orc beliefs were respected, then what can be said about any others.For Sun Elves, they worship 2 of their gods the Mother Tree and also the Sun, but because of this even the normal elves besmirch them. As their beliefs were too deviated then wha
When it comes to utilizing and moving any individuals to the direction that you need, one of the easiest factor that one can utilize is faith. A beliefs and religion is a motivation that is very scary as it can easily made people do anything and till the end of their lives they would blindly believed that what they do it for their beliefs. As to that, that is why Aeternum is really different, because all of the religion that representing Aeternum people, all of these religion referred to Aeternum with respect and praised. The fact that many religion can exist in harmony in Aeternum is something that everyone can be relieved of, hence the Cathedral of Faith is one of the powerful organization in Aeternum and were actually become one of the powerful faction in Aeternum government.If anyone from modern times were here, they would be shocked at just how all the religion in Aeternum were all praising and have a close relationship with the government. It is clearly something that one can s
Since I am already on my knees before her, Saintess Elena who got her hand hold by me this entire time, were almost overheating, even though everything was supposed to be a holy and pure actions, it seems that skinship and time to be on one on one with me, were just too much for the elf maiden. Who would’ve thought that by just us holding hands and me kneeling before her as my head touches her navel, were already enough to make her orgasm. It was lucky that her garments were thick and absorbent as it was clearly enchant with magic, if not, the people might see the Elf Saintess gushing from her secret place, on first contact our relationship has already leaped beyond normal by now.“Hmm?…Saintess why are you also kneeling before me?..”.Right now, I am rather shocked as Saintess Elena also knelt before me, but unlike me she kneel on her two instead of one, her breath were haggard and her face were blushed and flushed with redness.“My knees….are weak, My lord…and also…to me…this is mor
At the same time as the Aeternum royalty along with all of it’s high society figure were all being blessed by the Cathedral of Faith, the news were broadcast in the radio. It has been a few days since Aeternum Radio Broadcast has lifted their banned broadcast, naturally the enemy nation, Alemia Nation were still barred from receiving the latest broadcast. The event at the moment, where the head of the nation were receiving a blessing from multiple religious heads of which he personally came to the Cathedral instead of the Cathedral comes to him, were something that piqued everyone interest greatly.“[Currently, the Five Ministers were receiving their blessing on the stage, from all the religious leader…Saintess Elena Sunlight, the Director and also the leader of the Cathedral of Faith were incharge of leading the blessing ceremony…what a monumental moment we have here, Quara..]”.(DJ Skelly / Radio)All over the central continent, everyone were taking time out of their morning schedule
After the funeral ceremony ended, Aeternum has went back to it’s normal flows of time. Yet still everyone were on the edge or rather holding their excitement for the war to finally begin. For the Aeternum government official in the other hand, these period of time were the time where everyone had to be careful and do their best at everything, after all everyone were already being told that before and during the war time, everything must be on point and be done perfectly like they always has been. For the war, the border will be fully closed and perhaps even months after the war is over, only the border to the Dukedom of Angela would be opened to the public during these time.At the moment, since the nation were about to go to war, the Homeland, Immigration and Public Security Ministry, that are led by Minister Mina is on their highest priority meeting, after all when the entire nation were focused on the war, they were the last line of defense to the entire nation security. And by now
Unlike any other nation, Aeternum were known to managed their dungeons. Aeternum does not simply just destroyed every dungeons that they discovered and meet. Although dungeons is a common commodity in Fantasma, of which every place has it, it also known to provide boons for those that explored it, it also increased strength and gave opportunity for those that used it. But naturally it isn’t all that it brought, Dungeons also provides dangers for not only using it, but also not using it. Only Aeternum and it’s allies knows that Dungeons also one of the contributor for an intense Monster Stampede phenomenon, and also the dungeon break phenomenon were also stemmed from dungeons that has not being managed properly.Aeternum were the only nation in Central Continent that were known to managed their dungeon carefully and also harvested the dungeon yield constantly. Certain dungeons often times has some specific harvest-able resource from it, for example, there is a Dungeon in Agriculture R
In Aeternum, Aeternums and the government were constructed in such a way that everything would be in of a national interest and semi secular. Everything that is inside of Aeternum would be dealt by and only within Aeternum on Aeternums devises. This so that nothing would be brought outside and enable others to profits from Aeternum domestics. Not to mention that Aeternum had a lot of secret to keep, hence opening an International Channel for the Association is such a delicate issue for Aeternum Government. Then again, when it comes to profit and reputation, this is not that much of a complicated situation.“Opening the International Channel, huh….”.(Minister Mina)“Yeah…I think that would help with a lot of issues…sure there is some complication that would come with it…but I am sure that many adventurer and mercenary were already matured and understood our constitution, by now…”.(Mercenary Association Chairman Orthum Bronzehammer)“I see…”.(Minister Mina)If there is one thing that hi
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
