- I met Ramses on the outskirts of Nyedra. We made our way past Kryptis dwellings and temples and engaged loyalist guards in the streets. Eventually we met up with Peitha and followed her toward the general's last known location, whispers of the people of Nyedra trailing us. Deeper in town, more guards confronted us—but these soldiers were loyal to Nephus. Just as it seemed a battle would ensue, our elusive target emerged from the shadows. While Nephus's guards worried for his safety, the general himself exuded calm authority. He posited that it was Peitha who was in danger, not himself. But Peitha refused to leave without the general hearing her proposal. Rather than finding a safe, quiet place to talk, General Nephus ordered Peitha to speak right there in the Nyedra streets, in front of a full Kryptis audience. Peitha used the audience to her advantage. Her speech gained momentum as she addressed the crowd directly. She might well have convinced the people of Nyedra to join her then and there, but one of Nephus's guards cried out an alarm: Queen Labris and her royal guard had arrived. Tension was high. Peitha urged the onlookers to join with them and fight, but General Nephus, in an attempt to remain neutral and protect his people from slaughter, ordered them not to take up arms against the queen's forces. Left with no choice but to defend ourselves, Peitha, Ramses, and I held off Queen Labris's initial attack, battling the royal guard to a stalemate. Labris called for her forces to stand down and proposed a parley with General Nephus, which he accepted. The Kryptis queen, stately yet menacing, made her proposal: in exchange for turning Peitha, Ramses, and me over into her custody, Nephus and his people would be granted clemency and left in peace in Nyedra with her blessing and that of King Eparch. Nephus seemed initially receptive to the proposal. But slowly, we watched as his anger toward his queen built. He swore fealty to Peitha and renounced Labris and Eparch. With this one swift decision, war was truly declared, and Nayos was thrown into chaos. Queen Labris ordered the royal guard forward, sparking an all-out Kryptis-on-Kryptis clash. The people of Nyedra rallied to General Nephus, and with our combined forces we beat back the opposing force and eventually destroyed Labris's royal guard entourage. Labris then retreated under the protection of her elite Queen's Circle. Peitha thanked General Nephus. He answered in tightly controlled fury that his hand had been forced. He challenged Peitha to make up for the violence and misery that her brother and uncle had inflicted upon the Kryptis. "You owe our people. Your family owes us," he said as he walked away. "Bring us something other than death." Unfortunately, that request would have to wait; both he and Peitha knew that Labris had to be dealt with. More bloodshed was on the horizon. But I am prepared for the coming battle against the queen.

- I rendezvoused with General Nephus outside of Eventide's March, a sacred landmark that Queen Labris and her dwindling army were using as a base of operations. The general had taken great pains to remain neutral and felt that Peitha had forced him into a conflict that put a great number of innocent Kryptis lives at risk. Still, he realized they now had an unprecedented opportunity to remove Labris and her army from the field. Peitha had put him in a position to take advantage. Nephus split our forces, sending Peitha, Arina, and Ramses to attack the queen's position from the flanks while he and I led a direct frontal assault. He hinted that he'd battled at Eventide's March in the past, and we watched as he masterfully employed varied tactics to clear our path to the queen. We reached the cathedral-like walls of Eventide's March and regrouped with our allies, sweeping away Labris's last lines of defense. With nowhere left to run, the queen descended the grand stairs to make her stand. You'd never have known that she was outnumbered and backed into a corner with how regally she stood in defiance. She claimed that Peitha would lead the Kryptis to extinction and that the rebellion leader did not have the willpower and conviction to govern her people. Silence hung in the air for a moment, then it was broken when Peitha simply laughed, shattering the queen's seemingly unshakeable façade. After exchanging barbs, Peitha looked to Nephus, who grimly ordered us forward to confront and execute the queen. Labris fought bravely. And lost. She seethed with rage, nearly on the brink of madness. But it was all for naught. Nephus ordered her death. But Peitha had other plans. Seeing an opportunity to rally the Kryptis to her side with a show of force, Peitha stayed the queen's execution. It was time to show the people of Nayos that Peitha could win, that Labris and Eparch were not invincible. Peitha had a valuable asset in the weakened, tyrannical Labris. Now she just needed an audience... ***
- Following winter's breath, spring ushers life back into the delta. Can you keep up with the rush?
- Yes, it's true. I'm glad we got Poky out of there in one piece. That beast was horrifying.
- The Pale Tree's avatar lay dormant following the attack. But, as I understand it, she is recovering well now, to no small relief among the Sylvari. Firstborn Dagonet has taken on diplomatic duties in her stead.
