It has been a long time coming, but with the return of a Crowned King in New Isilioth, the town of Oakland is a bustling hub of activity. King Tiber II declared that to return into the Imperial fold, that a great port must be erected in Isilioth, so that international trade routes may be accessed.

It began with the construction of the docks themselves, which were put up with lighting speed.

Added afterwards were the piers for ships to dock at, currently with room for five ships, and the first warehouse to store goods brought into the port.

More buildings are currently being erected in the area, and the town itself is profiting heavily from the influx of goods and wealth, improvements to the housing are widespread. There are even talks of a fort being raised to overlook the town. More updates to come in the coming days!

I'm glad to see Isilioth return to life after its long hibernation.

The silhouette of those towers has long remained a part of the history of the server. I am glad to see their return to prominence!

Breaking news from Oakland, the first international ship has docked in port. A cargo ship packed to the brim with beer has arrived from Östlaed, and there is celebration throughout the streets!

Progress on the waterfront has exponentially increased with the moral boost, with the new inn reaching completion.

Few allies have as rich a history as the Minervans and the Isilioth. In fact, Minerva is well accustomed to Isilioth's origins and even the name itself. The arrival of this house in the old world led to a lasting bond between the people's, having witnessed their calm handling of border and claims disputes for example. Later, our scholars went to work sharing oral and scattered histories. From this emerged a picture of pre-Mercurian life, where the Empire's ancestral empire was uniquely and deeply interwoven with the Isilioth. Hark, did the readers here know that Isilioth was the first autonomous Kingdom absorbed into the then mighty but fallible Empire of Man? And did you know Isilioth was also the first to break it's yoke and become independent? A hundred years before the great unknown and the great fleeing, Isilioth's strength gave it a unique bargaining position in the then slowly waning empire. In fact, oral histories from their tribes paint the only picture of that Empire's final days. I look forward to finding these archives to share further.

Then in the New World, Tiber and The Regent journeyed across Imperial Isle together, scouting for the site of our future imperial island. Together, they founded villages and mines, with the namesake of the great Isilioth leader still there.

Then, the many travels and trips together to this kingdom's homeland led to countless trade, exchange and bonding.

It comes with great pleasure for Minerva to admit it's exuberance and excitement at the prospect of reliving these moments and many more. The news of the developments has led to a great stirring of curiosity. Minerva would like to extend an offer to re-kick start some of our shared co-build projects in Imperial Isle. I look forward to the future.
