A collection of Radio broadcasts 03/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "We are receiving reports that the emperor has been rushed to hospital after a heart attack... Yes we can confirm, Camus Moran is being transported in secret to an undisclosed location to be put under intensive care" 05/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "Emperor Camus II's (EC2) conditions worsens and the international media is starting to take interest in this. Our most recent reports have the emperor on heavy doses of medicine, He appears calm and content in what may be his final few days. Around the empire, the people are holding out hope for the greatest Emperor to ever rule over Noremacia. His feats include but aren't limited to: bringing the empires economy to the forefront of the world, promoting peace and equality, massively reducing our impact on the environment, and finally putting Noremacia on the Audaxian map. He fought hard for recognition over the last year and finally only just last week we secured our place in the region and in the world." 07/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "10:42am, 7th of June, 2018. Emperor Camus II of house Moran died a peaceful and content death. His 65 year reign has come to an end. The public are deeply pained by the loss of such a great man. Around the nation people are stopping everything to gather on the streets and pray. Given the nations stance on religion this is a huge gesture of gratitude and sorrow for the Emperor. He was truly loved by all. He will be known henceforth as 'Camus and Great'. Some folloers are saying he got up as he died and rose up to the heavens. others say he just vanished and became one with nature. Im no religious man, but by god we thank you for this man." 08/06/2018 - Noremacia Radio Corporation (NRC) "Over the weekend a state funeral will be held for beloved Emperor Camus II who died of natural causes at the age of 87. He will long be remembered for his respect of nature, science and peace. As the Empire mourns this tragic loss, the question arrises, who will be his sucessor? After relinquishing his position as heir to the empire, the original heir and Camus' oldest son, Gaben Moran, became an emmisary to United Moreland. This leads the current position open, for the first time in Noremacian history. Claimants include sister, Hiro Tachicana, younger son, Kumori Moran, and younger twin daughters, Suzume and Tatsu. According to Noremacian law, they must be chosen within the family and within 48 hours of the cremation of the previous emperor. Time is ticking for the Moran family." In the Royal Palace 08/06/2018 Empress Odesza took the letter in her trembling hands. She struggled to keep her sorrow at bay in front of her advisors. She had temporary rule over the empire. She didnt have much to do yet it felt like everything in the world was pushing her to the floor without her husband around. She signed the piece paper and gave it back to Piro Aymas, head of administration and state affairs, hand of the emperor. Also there was vice emperor, Orion Berat, and Faraday Tien, minister of Science and technology, and close friend to the empress. Faraday took Odesza's hand and looked here in the eyes. "It's okay to not be okay. We can wait as long as you need my lady." The empress took a second to answer. Feeling the support of her friends and advisors, "No." she replied. "We must continue to keep the balance and peace in the nation. Piro, you are in full responsibility of the funeral. spare no expense." "Of course my lady." he replied, exiting the room. She looked out the window at the clear and stary night, thousands of people stopping in front of the palace gates to leave gifts and pay homage. She fearsed for the future. None of the heirs looked promising... Hiro Tachicana: Sister of the Camus, verging on insane, recluse Kumori Moran: Son of Camus and Odesza, shady, sly and cunning, always seems to get his way Suzume Moran: Daughter of Camus and Odesza, young, shy, innocent and inexperienced Tatsu Moran: Daughter of Camus and Odesza, young, shy, trained in the way of the elite samurai She sighed deeply. In the end she didn't have much say in the matter, it was a case of whoever stepped up and whoever opposed them. She looked back at Orion and Faraday. "Someone dictate this for me". Orion took out his touchpad and eyed the empress. What was said has since been turned into this letter:  OOC: IMPORTANT: Urging geographically close nations to respond to this as i need to get to know you guys better ASAP

"Thank you, my friend, for the information. When I have some spare time, perhaps I shall browse through this." He said with a nod and got onto the maglev, quickly finding a place to stand as he grabbed the bar above his head, sticking his other into his pocket. "How long shall the ride be?" |

Kenzie nodded to the Empress, and bowed at the waist to show respect. "Thank you, Empress. I offer you my most sincere condolences for the passing of your husband. I am sure that your son will make a great Emperor like his father. I also come with tidings from my Lord, King Eldarion. He told me to express to you his sorrow for not being able to attend. Perhaps he will invite you and your family to Minas Tirith for a visit and a bit of discourse on relations." She followed the others into the maglev, taking in the view. |

Kumori gave Rux a sly smile as they transcended the palace stairs. His father did not drink at all. "Yes i will have someone fetch it." Two guards opened the palace doors and kumori whispered something to an attendant. "Come. I will show you to your accomodation. One of the finest rooms in the palace." After 2 minutes of walking kumori reached out his hand and the little dragon landed on it glaring at the Emperor. Kumori smiled as they reached Rux's room. "Now where can i get one of these fascinating creatures?" "12 minutes to the second." Orion Berat stated gleefully. The train accelerated gradually not to startle the passengers and once at full speed it moved more than 500km/h. The magnificently modern Noremacia city flashed before its crowd. Huge curving skyscrapers that looked like spaceships, and amongst them, older more ornate orient looking buildings with plated gold and sweeping tiled roofs. The city really was the pride and joy of Noremacia, driving much of its large tourism industry. The rest of the tourism industry was mostly attributed to the resort district north of the city. As the train slowed to a stop, the huge palace of slanting steel beams and impossibly large panes of glass loomed in front of them. this was the western side of the palace. As the door lifted seamlessly, and a little steam added for some sense fantastical adventure Orion stretched out an arm "Welcome to House Moran." In another car on the train sat Kenzie and Odesza. "You have my many thanks." the empress said with a smile. She started pointing out various points of interest, viewable from the train window to mrs Zimmerman. Upon arrival they disembarked the train in front of the modern looking glass structure. The sun was setting over the west now. The empress walked slowly towards an open but guarded door and they started down a tall corridor lined with portraits of Past Emperors. "I will show you to your room but not until we have dined together. Do you have any dietary requirements?" she said as she opened another door revealing a long dining table with all kinds of traditional Noremacian food laid out. |

Kenzie smiled, and responded, "My only dietary requirements are simply that I get enough to eat. Must be my genetics." She sat down at the table and looked at the queen with her blue eyes, giving off an aura of regality. She was one of the most powerful women in Gondor, as she held a top position in the Council-General, the King's cabinet. She was the Lady High Emissary, in charge of all foreign relations. She had been in the Navy for a short time as a reservist, but had then pursued a career in international relations, getting a degree from Minas Tirith University in Political Science. From there, she became a very successful journalist, who eventually interviewed the King himself and found his favor, becoming the woman that sat in front of the Empress. "So tell me, what are your thoughts about the future of your nation? Are you in need of any trading partners? Gondor is opening itself up to the world for trade, and we would be willing to discuss anything you like." |

"A dragon is not a pet emperor, they are more intelligent than you or I. They once ruled the lands of men long before the first civilisations sprung up, until they allowed us to rule on our own. A captive dragon quickly wastes away, where as a free dragon, depending on the species, can just grow forever." The emperor looked at Rux as if he was stupid. "Anyway, I must get inside to attend to Dracaan. I will see you in the morning, don't forget the whiskey." As the emperor said his goodbyes and Rux entered the bedroom he pulled out a red stone orb and set it down, "Yes I think he will like it." He said lighting the fire for Dracaan to sleep in. |

As the Teutonic delegation journeyed with their host it was Camilla who continued the conversation as Hans seemed content to sit back and enjoy the ride. "I wonder if I may ask a small favour" the Princess asked edging closer to Orion. "In the Union people adhere to one of two faiths, they are either Christian or Odinist, the two faiths have had what I would describe as perhaps a turbulant past, however in recent times we've learned to live together side by side in peace, one key principle has been understanding and respecting each others traditions, as such at the death of every Emperor it's been customary for some sort of Odinist gesture to be made alongside their own Christian gesture, now I must apologise for not being familiar with your former Emperors faith but I'd appreciate being able to make a gesture on behalf of Odinists from my nation." She reached into the briefcase she'd been carrying and took a a large flat carved wood plaque bearing the emblem of a ship. "In our faith its believed that a person must cross a river into the afterlife, the poorer people have money buried with them to pay for a ferry, the richer a whole boat, however I'm sure you'd agree that's not always practical, so as a result people now use these, its a gesture of a wish for an eternal happiness in the life here after." Camilla handed the object over, "Should it be against his faith I understand and would ask that it serve as a gesture of friendship between our people." |

Orion stroked his grey beard. "Am i to understand that you would like the wooden plaque is to be burned with the body? Im sure you can understand that this cannot happen my lady. The body is burned naked as to be one with nature. In the afterlife there are no possesions and there is no redeemable way of attaining everlasting life in the next world. The emperor believed in the bitheistic belief of Ajantism. There were two gods who are forever locked in marriage and battle. Through their struggle they carved the mountains and lakes, oceans and plains. The popular "Ying Yang" symbol originated here in Noremacia, and is the symbol of Ajantism. There are two of everything. everything has a parallel. an opposite. Conflict and harmony. There is not one without the other." Orion could sense he was waffling on. He sighed. Then smiled. "Your plaque is fascinating. Im sure we can arrange something to be done with it. It is a humbling gesture of friendship that we would like to accept." The train neared the palace and started to decelerate. |
