519th Lunar Cycle
I am highly disappointed with the caretaker's ability to manage the country in my absence. The incompetent fool has allowed a civil war to break out and cause horrific damage to infrastructure, including hundreds of thousands of sovereigns worth of damage in the agriculture sectors. Food grows scarce, furthering the poverty issue, here in Avalar. I have returned, with a surprisingly welcome response from both the people of Avalar and world leaders. The crowning ceremony was a success and I have assumed temporary full control of the Pedestal Council, to compensate for the alarming drop in stability of the nation. My schedule is forever demanding my attention and requests for audiences come at all hours of the day. Yesterday, I met with representatives from the Taell’as Water Treatment Bureau who claimed that current water treatment infrastructure was insufficient. After dealing with that insufferable lot, there was a global assembly, a meeting concerning the official change of currency from sugars and spice to gold nuggets. I am sceptical about this change, as my sources inform me that currency chits would be available some time in the coming weeks. This change has also caused a massive collapse in the stock market, once again causing the loss of hundreds of thousands of sovereigns. I am bombarded with torrents of issues and complications, and this is my first week on the throne.

528th Lunar Cycle
The Confederacy’s fear of us has taken form in the unreal fortifications built around its island continent. The sheer amount of resources and time point to a certain answer; the Confederacy is expecting war. I begin to question the safety of Avalar, that if the Confederacy is so keen on war, a balance of power may tip against our favour and prompt an invasion of our lands. I am convinced that the Taell’as Hierarchy controls the world’s largest population, and with that, possibly the world’s largest army. Internal shenanigans have struck a tremendous toll on the Empire’s development and it takes the form of the Confederacy’s walls. We are currently, unofficially working closely with the Federation towards a mutual benefit. I trust their nation - one of their leaders is an old friend of mine. The Federation also boasts some of the brightest minds on the planet, their research is amazing. As emperor, I am beginning to solve problems faster than they are made; markets have stabilised, water management infrastructure is complete and Taersus’s port is constructing ships. So far, the Pedestal Council fully supports my authority and claim, the absence of the possibility that this will change soon brings a smile to my face and thoughts of suspicion, I am either performing well or they are completely intimidated by me. My focus of development has moved south, to Summer Forest. The architects here are more amused by stone and spherical shapes. Resource production is steady and everything is picking up pace. The time and resources wasted by the civil war leaves an ugly injury on my beautiful Avalar, but wounds heal and we will recover, emerge once again as the most prosperous nation on Terraineus.
