The Tyrian Alliance:

It is Vale again who gets invited to the Meeting. But since her retirement, she refuses the invitation. Instead its Deus who gets called there - her Husband and actual former Commander. (Reminder: Vale might be the second Commander to Deus, but she was primarily the Champion of Aurene in my Story)

Due to Fuma visiting her father during this time, she gets dragged along and taking Wilson and Mishra with them.

With Deus still too busy with all the Charr stuff (but also still stressed about the situation with his wife) he decides to send his daughter to this mission. With the help of Wilson and Mishra, he is certain she will do a great job. And because Malice and Caithe joining them, he is not worried about their safety.

Janthir:

Wilson, Fuma and Mishra will have a blast getting to know the lowland Kodan - also join in all the activities and culture. Its easy for them to connect with the Kodan. Fuma will learn to wield the Spear, while Mishra is nose deep in all the Kodan Loren. And who is taking care of some Journeykin? Wilson of course, just like she did with the Skyscale back then. She befriends the Warclaw, that attacked them at the beginning. A black furred Warclaw with emerald eyes.

Later they will further explore the Wilds and crash into Greer. The fight is a mess. And a reminder that there not only there to have some "fun" and gather information. There is danger, that Deus ignored in all his stress. (He will feel very guilty about that)

In this fight they get surprising help from a stranger - a Charr that looks very familiar. Happy to see a know face Wilson shouts out "Valefor", but it's not him. This Charr is known by the Name "Neeve", but hearing the Name "Valefor" makes her eager to stick to these people. She is adamant to join them, without telling them why.

Due to Wilson friendliness, Neeve is accepted to join and protect them in their further task. Later, Stoic Alder also notices how similar Neeve looks to a known ally. Confirming there is something to this similarity of their friend Valefor. But since the Events of SotO nothing was heard of him or Kying - they wished for some privacy and peace to recover from the events. Neeve catches this - still stays silent about her true motives.

Sidenote: For several month she tried to track down her twin brother Valefor. She wants to reconnect with her only family. (More about Neeve can be found here) That's why she ends up in Janthir - and with several people noticing how similar she looks to a certain other Charr, she can feel she is very close in finding her.

Stoic Adler offers them to bring them to this Ally, but they don't tell Neeve about that. (But again she catches it and follows them in secret) And surprise its indeed Valefor and Kying. In a House, very close to the lowland Kodan, they never told anyone about. Valefor is not really happy about the sudden visit. But he can't bring himself being angry about it - so he welcomes Wilson and Co into his home. There he learns about their visit and Mission. Before they can further deepen the conversation, Neeve reveals herself and with her appearance a huge argument breaks out between her and Valefor. Confirming that these two are related. Before the argument envolved into a real fight, Kying intervenes and separates the siblings. Valefor heads into the wild to get off some steam, while Kying offers Wilson, Fuma and Mishra a room to stay. Neeve is also allowed to stay, she moves into the old Workshop.

Later Valefor confronts Neeve again - this time a little calmer - asking why she is here. They talk a little - but don't end on a good note. Valefor refuses to accept her into his life and wants her to leave the next morning. Neeve will follow this request, for now. But she will continue helping Wilson and her friends on their Mission. Valefor also offers Wilson to help them, should they need his help. Knowing he is still recovering from the Events with the Kryptis, they reject his offer.

But they come back to the offer when they learn there is not one, but two titans. He will not help in the investigation - but later in the confrontation of Greer and Decima.

During the Investigation Neeve further befriends Wilson, Fuma and Mishra. At first she only wanted to stick with them to stay close to her brother, but with the time she starts to really like them. (No one can resist Wilsons - she collects dangerous people like pretty flowers,....) Neeve also learns a little more about her brother. And she adopts the Warclaw from the beginning. She will name the Warclaw Eos.

Now to the last bit, The fight with Greer and Decima.

Valefor and Kying will help them - but due to the differences between Valefor and Neeve the fight will be messy. (Two Siblings fighting and arguing - thought it would be a funny parallel)

Valefor will fuck up in his rage against his Sister (and their past). Neeve will have a breakdown - caused by the head injury Valefor once caused her in the past. This will result in Neeve getting badly hurt during the fight. Luckily they still manage to keep the upper hand, before they are forced to retrieve, with the appearance of yet another titan.

With that Moment and a huge amount of guilt, Valefor takes Neeve into his home again. Aiding her back to health. He is still not happy to have her back - but now he is willing to open up a little. Neeve will permanetly move into the old Workshop and make this her new home. While Valefor is still distant to her - Kying is very open to her. Giving her another friend to talk to. Kying will also try to mediate between the two.

Lets see what else the Story of Janthir brings, can't wait for it. I really like the vibe so far. Janthir Wilds will also be the story for Neeve and Valefor reconnecting.

Some sidenotes / random thoughts and rambeling:

Wilson, Fuma and Mishra will continue gathering information in Janthir

Valefor, Kying and Neeve will take over the dangerous missions, that also involves battles.

With the help of Waiting Sorrow, Wilson might get back her magic. She lost it during the final Battle of the Jade sea

Valefor btw. got the respect of the Kodan via his own knowledge of wielding a spear. But he and Kying probably also helped the Kodan at some point - granting them the permission to have a house in their lands.

Deus will get a huge scolding from Vale, after she learns about the Events in Janthir. So much for "I send our Daughter to a safe Information retrieving mission only",... in a dangerous area. It wasn't his brightest moment.

MAYBE,... just maybe Vale will visit them. She could do a vacation there. At least the lowland Kodan also love to fish. Thats the thing Vale would do - fish in the area. Yeah I like the idea - Orez, Phrike Jr. Elden and Desmond might tag along. (one person have to look after the kids)

So Janthir also becomes a little Family vacation. Just a little bit. For a week or two. During the calm time at least or just very close to the Kodan village.
