'''Rest in Peace'''

Started: 15th November 2011

One of Charles' Knights, Tristan, has just returned from Earth and has requested an urgent private audience. Wonder what it's about.

Progress: 

1) Charles met Tristan, who seems to be rather fearful of someone, or something, though he's doing his best not to show it. Tristan presents Sir Jacob's cane and monocle to Charles, telling him that Sir Jacob disappeared after discovering that most of the Copenhagen chapter of knights have disappeared. It appears he noticed something was amiss after the disappearance of Sir William, who was out to investigate the disappearance of a local magical girl. 

2) Charles decides to alert all the chapters throughout the world.

3) Charles proceeds to attempt directing chivalrous power into Sir Jacob's cane. It fights back, showing signs of deep corruption, before exploding rather violently.

4) Charles sends Sieghart with the destroyed monocle to Victor to study it further.

5) A report has returned from Victor and Illumina's team of alchemists stating that the mysterious corruption is made of elements common to dirt and general pollutants.


'''100,000's a Crowd!'''

Started: n/a

The Reinzuthen of Erebea have decided to dispatch a sacrifical gift of 100,000 girls from all around Erebea, mostly from all the nations they've conquered and annexed, to the old island of Altima, original home of the Nobles of Warriors, distant predecessors of Charles'. Apparently this is to welcome the prophesized return of the original Noble of Warriors and to attempt to acquire his favour with the hopes of having him assist the Reinzuthen make good their absolute conquest of Erebea. Obviously, the current delivery recipient is Charles....and this is NOT good. NOT good at all.

'''White Knight in Black Armour'''

Started: n/a

Alfred Goddard, ace attorney, E.U. Supreme Court prosecutor and prominent political figure, has sworn to cleanse Europe of all crime, especially major international crime rings. He has followed through with his oath. Half of all European prisons are full thanks to him. He is hailed as the 'White Knight', Europe's last hope. Needless to say, he's nowhere near as popular in the underworld. Many want him dead. He's currently attending the Copenhagen Treaty Talks as an expert on the Eco-crime panel. Chika, Emil's personal assassin, has helpfully let slip that she's refused a rather generous contract to assassinate Alfred Goddard during the talks. She's only one of many. Maybe you should look into this. 

Progress: 

1) In a sudden move, what is thought to be the Reinzuthen have invaded Copenhagen and kidnapped Alfred Goddard along with a large group of people. Amongst said group is Sophia, Emil's trusted anchor.

2) The Family has infiltrated an aerial base currently leaving Danish airospace. On arrival, the Family was separated. 

3) Alicia, Sango and Emil have defeated a Noble, Patrice, into surrender and forced another, Manning, to retreat. 

4) Patrice has revealed that she is but a hired hand and that there are a great number of others like her under the employment of a leader, a certain Lady Hitora.

5) Charles, meanwhile, wakes up in a prison cell and discovers that he was brought there not as a captive but for his own safety by a certain Fulvia, an assassin of the Marciano, who, for some reason, was not all too concerned about divulging quite a lot of information. What could she be after...?

6) In one fell swoop, Charles rallies the Erebean prisoners held within the aerial fortress to rebel. He goes on to lead them all in a charge on the fortress' citadel. 

7) Alicia and Mana joins him at the citadel siege and find themselves ambushed in the city square by none other than Manning and a full complement of mechanized warriors. 

8) The team successfully defeats Manning and the Reinzuthen troops and, leaving the rest of the noble mercenaries to the Enlightened's Vanguard who've just managed to arrive in the nick of time, they advance on Hitora's citadel.
