“Stay inside. Curfew in effect. Do not leave without permit,” each family was told. “Roaming without cause will result in imprisonment. This is your only warning.”

Some wept, others simply nodded. But none resisted.

Minute 90. Patrols swept every street, their steps synchronized. Any who lingered outside were arrested on the spot, bound and marched to holding. By hour two, the city was silent, its people sealed in their homes.

By hour five, Stabilization and Order Force 4 rolled in, taking over administration. Communication arrays sprouted from the town hall roof, while supply depots were set up in the plazas. Order radiated outward, firm and unyielding.

To the people of Karthmere, it was disorienting. Their lord was gone, their walls shattered, yet their homes were untouched. Their families safe. Their stomachs full—for the first time in months. The invaders were merciless toward warriors, but strangely restrained toward common folk. The message was burned into memory: Raise a weapon

    The convoy arrived like a new season: engines humming, treads leaving fresh furrows in the once-empty road. Armored carriers moved in the lead, not to intimidate the villagers but to make the path safe—metallic flanks reflecting a brittle morning sun. Behind them rolled trucks of crates, palletized goods strapped down in neat rows, med vans with red sigils, and a vehicle painted in civilian white that housed a field kitchen.At the makeshift barricade on the ridge, a knot of local militia and a single Lone Star captain tried to hold the line. They had the old armbands and the leather jerkin. Their rifles were patchwork—rusted barrels, wooden stocks. Pride stiffened their shoulders. They were not prepared for the precision of the Aeternum advance: silent drones that mapped their fields, engineers who could splice a road into submission, MPs who walked up to the barricade and placed a small paper card on the stones—an ultimatum dressed as an invitation.The captain spat and shouted defi

    In the southern province of Veymar, Baron Tellen held his own court. He sneered as gaunt peasants were dragged before him, accused of hoarding grain.One by one, men and women swore they had nothing left, that soldiers had already stripped their barns. Tellen laughed cruelly, ordering them flogged anyway.“Spare the whip on their backs,” he told his captain. “Save it for their children. Pain breeds loyalty faster.”His cruelty was not discipline—it was desperation, the collapse of a man too blind to see his doom. In taverns that night, villagers whispered not of loyalty, but of revenge.From the map room in Vaelric City, I read every coded report.“Crackdowns escalating… arrests in Star City… baron’s abuses in Veymar…”I traced the crimson pins on the map, each one marking another noble’s cruelty. And with every cruelty, more names filled Vaelric’s registry.I closed my eyes, feeling the hum of the estate’s generators, the steady rhythm of typewriters outside as staff compiled field d

    Star City bustled in its daily rhythm, but the sound had changed. Merchants no longer shouted with pride; their voices were hushed, strained, as if each word might draw unwanted ears.Among them moved three men and a woman who looked like traders from the southern fields. They carried baskets of grain, spoke with the accent of farmhands, and haggled clumsily. None gave them a second look.Yet they were ACIA operatives. Every glance measured the crowd. Every coin exchanged was a signal. They noted the shortages, the soldiers’ drunken swagger at street corners, the way beggars now sprawled at the steps of once-proud guild halls.“Third quadrant,” murmured one agent as he handed over bread. The phrase was meaningless to anyone else—but the woman receiving it would pass word to Duke Vaelric’s circle before the hour was out.They did not spread panic. Instead, they spread the truth, gently, like oil on water: Aeternum had food, Aeternum had order, Aeternum punished only those who drew weap

    The great hall of Star City’s palace was thick with tension. The marble pillars that once gleamed as symbols of Lone Star’s pride now seemed to loom over its rulers like silent judges.King Halric Lonald III stormed down the length of the council chamber, robes trailing, his jeweled sword clattering against the polished floor as he gestured wildly.“Impossible!” he roared, face blotched red with rage. “Vaelric is a coward and a traitor. No man, no army, could march from that wasteland rabble into our proud kingdom!”Servants froze in place, not daring to breathe. His ministers and nobles lowered their gazes, afraid that his wrath might turn on them next.But the truth gnawed at every corner of the hall: Aeternum’s army had breached the eastern marches in days, and reports of their weapons were too consistent to dismiss.Halric slammed a fist against the council table. “Send word to every province! Raise levies! Drag peasants from their hovels if you must. They will learn that Lone Sta

    The bells of Stavenhold rang at dawn, though no priest climbed the tower. The old baron was dead, executed in the city square under floodlights the night before. The people awoke in silence, expecting chaos, soldiers banging at doors, perhaps blood in the gutters. Instead, there were only columns of unfamiliar trucks parked neatly along the boulevard, and soldiers in strange uniforms patrolling with mechanical precision.“They move like clockwork,” whispered a seamstress as she peeked from her shutters. A pair of Aeternum soldiers passed, their boots striking the cobbles in rhythm. Neither shouted nor shoved, merely nodding at each house as though counting them.By mid-morning, the patrols began knocking—politely. Each household was asked to step forward, names written down by clerks with strange metal pens. At first, hands trembled as men thought they would be dragged away. Instead, they were given small paper slips—temporary identification, bearing a crest none had seen before.And
