Cerulean here with this week's issue of the Helheim Herald! With the successful coronation of our lovely Queen, we are excited for the upcoming stories we get to share with you! Our interviewers are DESPERATELY waiting for the chance to speak to the key figures of the ceremony; but this week we have a special surprise in store. Our boys on the Ocean have been tirelessly working to quell the animosity of the Merpeople, and in doing so have inspired a VERY popular group of artists to grace us with our artistic talents. As a Bard, I had to immediately accept their addition to this week's logistical updates, so without further ado, let’s get into it! From the Fleet, A PROCLAMATION The Royal Navy is proud to announce the establishment of the Fleet, following the successful rebuild of the City of Helheim. The fleets of Her Majesty, The Queen continue to uphold the security of the realm, and abroad. Recent events have spurred contentious relations with the neighboring Mer-folk, leading to several attacks on maritime vessels. The Royal Navy urges citizens to answer the call to duty, and enter into pay, for the preservation of our free, and navigable waterways. Naval-Office, November 3, 2147 A DISPATCH, of which the following is a copy, was received at the Naval Office this day, at Nine o'clock P.M. from Acting Leftenant Maximilian Smith, Officer aboard Her Majesty’s Ship Dormia: Dormia, off Helheim November 2, 2147. I beg leave to acquaint you, that the fleet now established in and around Helheim continue in the pursuit of the security of all navigable waters around the City. The ships and fleets under Commodore Faustus’s command have, with full Vigor and Enthusiasm, taken to sea to seek out and destroy the enemies of free and prosperous trade. It is with the highest level of professional experience and valor that our ships have triumphed over the consistent adversary. The sailors, mariners, and all persons of the fleet continue to stand vigilant over their watch, in service to their country, and in defense of our native shores. As conflict continues with the Mer, and Pirates off Helheim and Nascentia, our ships continue to pursue action, achieving victories in all parts of the hemisphere. The Fleet stands ready to retaliate with unfettered and unrestricted aggression against the Mer responsible for attacks upon Helheim’s merchant and civilian vessels. It is with the greatest urgency that the Royal Navy seeks to discover, and confound the nefarious designs of the enemy, by means of close and unrelenting action at sea, as well as the use of unwavering patrols and blockades, in order to establish a haven for trade and travel within the seas around Helheim, and abroad. I have here included a series of action reports relating to the operations of the Royal Navy, commensurate with our mission. I am, &c. HELHEIM We interrupt your regularly scheduled reports for a special homage to our brave soldiers on the sea; a yet UNRELEASED song written just for the Herald, soon to be performed by the one and only MEATBEATLES! Here is their newest single, “In the Navy!”
The Meatbeatles latest album, "Album Sex Six" is available now! EDITORIAL EXTRAORDINARY: It is with the greatest jubilation that we announce the engagement of one of our own in the fleet, Acting-Leftenant Maximilian Smith with Karliyah Branwynn. Acting-Leftenant Smith of Her Majesty’s Ship Dormia serves as the executive officer of Commodore Faustus Engleton, and has thus served in this capacity for the past two years. He is an up-and-coming officer with great promise, and it is our hope that he continues to find happiness in the service, and new happiness with his newly engaged. The Fleet welcomes Karliyah Branwynn to its family of sailors and mariners, devoted to both country, and family. Ms. Branwynn is known to be a well versed bounty huntress, and has participated in apprehending some of Sincardere’s most wanted, and most dangerous individuals. It is not a surprise that she had caught Acting-Leftenant Smith, being one of the Navy’s most dangerous junior officers. It is then with the deepest of hope that the Fleet wishes the best to Mister Smith, and Karliyah Branwynn as they navigate their way to a bright future. That’s all for this week, but stay tuned as reports from our Navy are rolling in as frequently as the tides! We hope to have a wide variety of stories for you in the upcoming weeks, so if you have any gossip or tales you think the people would want to read, or need to know; please find me in Helheims streets! This is Cerulean, and with a big thank you to our Sailors, as well as the Prestigious Meatbeatles, we hope you enjoyed the read!
