Bourne wished to be reborn and was reborn as the son of Kasavarina , the other golems created by the mindmaker also got the same option and were reborn as living people.Memorial On returning to Risur the first event was a planned solemn burial of two empty coffins at sea, a small coffin which would be buried by the small folk Manuel, El Kevin and others , a Larger coffin carried by the other members of the team. It was at a solemn moment of the ceremony that Rock and his Harem climbed out of the Coffin after knocking and launched a massive musical affair and celebration of life instead of a solemn ceremony, even She Who Writhes joined in the Music.  Rock would then depart on an interplanetary concert tourTinker AscendantManuel checked in with Tinker and discovered he had vanished leaving behind his comprehensive notes on his many , many  technoarcane schemes. The final notes seemed to be his investigation of smaller and smaller break downs of elements and their strange behaviours, this cut off in mid sentence. Over many years Manuel would realise that Tinker had discovered the basics of Quantum mechanics centuries ahead of his time and in this lay the true link between magic and technology.Over time many engineers and scientists would thank Oddcog for breakthroughs and marvellous creations and it became clear that some of their prayers were being answered and eventually the Church of Oddcog would arise as the god of choice for technologists many considered that Tinker Oddcogs prophet was Manuel.Interior decorationReturning to the palace Queen Nevla was surprised to discover that the annoying functionary who had tried to get her to make decisions about redecorating the royal apartments before her departure to Axis island had worked feverishly during her absence, avoiding being caught up under Ob control he had managed through dedication , hard work and some sort of mystical insight to produce apartments perfectly decorated to her requirements , including furniture modified to be comfortable to a winged being like Ashima-Shimtu. The functionary received a holiday and went on to become the premier interior designer and decorator in Risur making a fortune from his critically acclaimed workState of BerIn Ber the Bruse had resigned and retired to a country estate in Risur funded by his own money probably stolen from the state but at least his retirement avoided a civil conflict in Ber. Corta Nariz the Ork women the team had encountered while trying to recover Tinker from Ber had taken the government position and was working on reforming her nation. She sought to build a solid foundation for her country of laws, she wanted to make sure that when she was no longer Bruse her successor would be chosen by some sort of legal process. She wanted to move to democracy but feared  tensions along racial lines would follow such a step.She also sought to establish some sort of control over El Extrano and also the Executores dola Liberta for the latter seeking to bring in RHC advisors to help formalise their procedures and move them more to being a national police and anti-corruption task force.These changes would be a struggle but the calmer and more altruistic attitudes of the people meant there was hope that Ber would mature as a nation.State of DanorIn Danor Han Jierre has resigned and would eventually move to take up a post at the University of Philosophy and History on Ascetia. His successor as Soveriegn Lya Jierre was trying to deal with the complete discreditation of the political elite after their links to the Ob were made clear. She was seeking to revitalise the democratic process in Danor and had promised to step down after 10 years when she had a functioning democratic system working. Some areas along the borders with the Malice lands and the Dragon Isles were seeking to secede and eventually some of them would. It would take time but when Lya stepped down Danor had returned to being a stable and prosperous nation although it lagged behind still in arcane matters.State of CrissylrCrissilyr was no more. The clergy had collapsed totally and many new religions each worshipping a single god has risen inspired by actual contact with their deities. However these new faiths could not match the unified political power of  the old Clergy, a council of faiths did govern Alais Primos but outside of that there was no functioning government. Crissilyr fragmented into a patchwork of small states similar to those in the Malice lands. The land would be dominated by bad governance and border disputes for many years.State of DrakrDrakr recovered quickly their government system remained functional Vledheim Heid had been co-opted to run the government while new elections removed the discredited politicians from office, despite his best efforts he would remain Chancellor for 16 years before retiring to Ascetia. Drakr improved notably ,as the dour Dwarves became more cheerful under the influence of Dunkelveiss .Along their border with the mountains of the Frost Giants a new realm ruled by Tzetse arose and became a sort of buffer state which kept the former champion of the undead times happy , busy and useful.State of ElfaivarElfaivar was a bit of a mess but with power and potential. Their demographics problem had changed 180 degrees with the current population being nearly 80% female. The Crissilyan colonists were told to leave and over the next few years departed the nation, the Danoran colonists were able to reach a settlement and be absorbed into Elfaivar alongside the Risuri colonists.A new tripartite monarchy was established forging permanent ties to Risur, Athrylla as crone represented the old guard, Sancia a general amid the reborn eladrin as mother and Nevla as the maiden governed the land and it was agreed that the monarch of Risur would always be one of the monarchs , aid from Risur helped rebuild the Eladrin nation and in return Eladrin magic helped improve matters in Risur as the nations slowly moved towards a merger. Part of this was build around the Eladrins desire to be strong and able to resist all future outside threats from the new planets, the beyond and anywhere else.Kasavarina retired , she spent much time in Risur  visiting her reincarnated daughter Nevla, raising her son Bourne and spending time with Luanga resurrected by Ashima-Shimtu’s powerful magicsWith the support of Lya of Danor the blight of Eladrin slavery in Danor and Crissilyr was ended by the efforts of Eladrin soldiers and former Vekeshi assassins cooperating with the Danoran legal authoritiesMalice LandsThe Malice lands were improving greatly mercenaries and monster hunters wiped out the last of the great malice beasts and the nations were able to stabilise and improve their situation. Refugees from turmoil elsewhere , in particular Crissilyr and the Crissilyan colonies in Elfaivar settled here.The Dragon Islands and Pemberton IndustriesAs per his agreement with Risur Pemberton took control of the Yerasol islands, those current inhabitants who wished to leave were bought out and moved to Danor or Risur. Many Gnolls from Ber moved to the islands and soon a fairly powerful state arose lead by Pemberton, and a harem of young red dragons from Wingover. As well as his daughter and son in law.Pemberton industries would be active in Crissily and the Malice lands several of these smaller  nations soon being dominated by Pemberton industries as part of a scheme to increase his power .WeddingsWith Rock Rakhus along way away Harkover suggested that a royal wedding could be held without being upstaged by Rock and would allow several other relationships to be formalised in a grand ceremony which would be good for national moraleThe WeddingNevla and Ashima ShimtuPadme and WilliamUlvaar and EriannaLuc and Ottavia Gale and NilasaHarkover and a lady Blue dragon who ran a network of public schools in RisurKevin and TeykfaDrelft and LaurynThe whole nation was able to witness the ceremony via the wonders of cinema as developed by Manuel. During his premier of the video he was tracked down the the triplet of goblin spies code name ‘Green Lady’ who had come to take him up on his offer of shooting lessions......HarkoverPublicly outed as a dragon Harkover became the permanent advisor to the monarch of Risur although with no legal power he would be available as a loyal voice fo wisdom and experience to the monarchThe Honeymoon and the fishermanAshima-Shimtu and Nevla departed for their honeymoon cruise onboard the Coaltongue as they did Nevla noticed an old Fisherman seated on the dock inside the secure area and ignored by all and recalled seeing the same man back when they first prevented the assasination of Aodhan (this is a retcon I did not think to actually have him there all that time ago). The old man raised his fishing rod in salute before walking awayAshima-ShimtuWas now an Empyreal lord whose homeplane was this world, she was happily married to Nevla and became a god of Redemption. No matter what someones sins if he truly repented them he could find a path through her to redemption, often for those with impressive sins it was posthumous they would die seeking redemption and ascend to the heavens.The first federation meetingFirst meeting of the UFP- Council of 12. The new worlds had arranged their first meeting on the neutral ground of Pembertons Dragon Shield carrier but were determined to avoid that in the future. Twelve great powers were representedQueen Nevla arriving on the Queen Nevla DreadnoughtFor Hendreiki-- Kallyr Starbrow who flew in on a great Air elementalFor Peloria-- Jar-Eeel the Razoress who rode in on the great Crimson BatGloriana-- Queen Gloriana (Elizebeth III) arrived on the newly built HMS Enterprise a carrierWinghome-- Gwyneth the Silver dragon KnightWulfendyne-- Princess Zeetha and her assistant Higgs aboard a relatively small zeppelinAv--- Beshala one of the wives of Rock Rackhus and part of the leading council of AVCelestia-- Princess Xixi (Imperial Dragon)Bathory  -- Genevieve Du Point Du Lac Diudonne Iretha Ket-- Queen AtchafalayaAmrou-- Sargon of Uggat, whose father was the cupbearer of Ur-Zubaba,Evermeet----   Galadrial who pointedly said she was not a diplomat but was here because the diplomats had not really woken up yet. She was keen to borrow some skilled bureaucrats to fix poor elven record keepingQueen Nevla elected Chairperson of the Security Council among matters discussed whereDeplyment  of peace keeping forces between HENDREIKI and PELORIABuilding a permanent diplomatic facility on Ascetia as well as the Babylon-12 orbiting stationFinally a military cooperation council was set up to discuss joint defense against Ghdim, Devils or other extraplanar threats.The Ascetia UniversityThe Monks of Caeloon set up a pair of universities on Ascetia . The university of Science and Magic , and the University of Philosophy and History. These universities served the post graduates of all the worlds. Manuel and the Lightning Weasel were prominent scholars in the Science department.The University of Performing arts was founded on Iretha Ket of course.The Distant FutureThe Interplanetary constabularyAs travel grew among the new worlds so did interplanetary crime, smuggling and piracy. This lead to the formation  of the interplanetary constabulary its first leader was Drelft , supported by key figures from other planets and nations including Kasavarina and LyaThe Next MonarchQueen Nevla reigned for another seventy years , before she was guided to find her replacement with the next great crisis. An unanticipated interaction between Bathory and Gloriana had resulted in the creation of a vampiric conspiracy to take control of all of the nations of the system, the Camarilla lead by the Vampire demi-god Vivamort.The conspiracy was thwarted by a team on Interplanetary constablesBou-Vet   Tiefling refugee from Danor and Vampire Slayer Angel-- Vampiric Inquisitor from BathoryIvar Quickstep-- Hendreiki warrior and follower of the Death god HumaktMary Webster-- Glorianan MarineGimli-- Dwarven Fey SorcerorGaladrial-- Elven Swamp AssassinBou-Vet (pronoucned BuuFeet) and Angel married and Bou-vet replaced Nevla as Queen after the defeat of the Camarilla, the last time that Nevla and her old colleagues took up arms to support their younger colleagues.The Fate of our HeroesWilliamHis Duchy amidst the remains of the Voice of Rots domain grew up into a realm of culture set in tree houses amidst the forests and Bayou’s. He and Padme would rule for many years before stepping back from government in favour of one of their many children. They would continue to be a fading presence for centuries as more and more they were drawn into their role in the dreaming . The Duke of Duchess of their realm would almost always be a Medium channelling the spirits of the Monarchs of Risur to secure the prosperity of their realm.UlvaarHis duchy amidst the mountains would likewise grow in prosperity and strength attracting immigrants from Drakr and becoming the second industrial center of Risur after Flint. He and Eriana ruled wisely until they stepped down in favour of the wisest of their children and remained an influence in the realm until their appearances grew less and less frequent as they were more and more dominated by the role of a Fey titan.ManuelFor the next several centuries Manuel trained the finest minds of a dozen worlds in Science and magic, his breakthroughs in these fields improved life for everyone and it was his discovery of the principles of the Drift drive which spread the people to the stars and earned Manuel his place in the heavens alongside Oddcog as one of the gods of science.Nevla Retired to Elfaivar after her reign where she and Ashima-Shimtu tried to live quietly despite occasionally being dragged into interplanetary politics. She found herself becoming a mother figure to the Eladrin people and her old ties to Ssramma along with her close association with a demi-god lead to her gradually taking Ssraama’s place and becoming the Eladrin Fey goddess of Women.Of course 1500 years later the planes were reset again and this time Manuels students had time to design properly complicated planar arrangements which could only be described using advanced planar calculus</blockquote>
