Voile Domain
Soline, Queen of Wolves (Dip 6/Mil 7/Ind 5/Fth 4/Int 3)
- Following Sabine's death, her daughter Soline assumes the duties of queen and commander as a battlefield promotion. Upon her victorious return to the misty isle, the Conclave assents after little debate and a token, almost performative objection from the silver-cloaked master of merchants. Soline is an aged leader with the most experience in matters of war, and as world peace is unlikely, the veteran valkyrie is the natural choice.
- Brigitte is selected from among the valkyries to command the Wolf Maidens (and replaces Soline as a Hero).
- [Industry] Buyout 207-TP2 Cedar from VVV (11) -
- [Military 5] Recruit Hero (9): Tristan "The Sea Hawk" - A legendary ranger emerges, peerless in archery and a brilliant guerilla tactician.
- [Military] Recruit 2 Units via Fortress - New Unit Count: 8 Land, 5 Navy
- [Diplomacy 5] Establish Cultural Identity (Dueling) - Though death in battle is a great honor and the natural end for a valkyrie, the new queen's rigorous doctrine demands brutal martial efficiency among her champions: to seek out and kill enemy commanders with haste, rather than to rely on more traditional skirmishing.
- [Diplomacy] VOI Offers Terms to the Rising Sun - Victorious, though saddened by the heavy cost of war, Soline delivers the following terms to the Rising Sun remnant in the hopes of forestalling another war.
- The Sun Borne must accept exile from Ana Kai, or surrender to indefinite house arrest with proper accommodations befitting her status.
- Rising Sun forces disband. Fighters will be granted amnesty and need not surrender their weapons.
- Voilese loyalists will be installed as regional nobility per Siobhan's agreement a decade prior.
- As the legitimate heir to Siobhan, the Sun Borne may appoint an immediate successor from her bloodline as leader of Ana Kai and the new marquis under Domain rule.
- Myrkran in the region will be resettled elsewhere in the Domain. (VOI requests MYR's assistance and pays 1 Favor)
- Bright's Glow faithful will not be persecuted, though they must commit to not proselytizing on the Isle du Voile, and preaching on the streets of Strange Port will be banned. (VOI will not convert or purge in 211)

Valkyries
I am already dead. This is the guiding sentiment of the Voilese elite warriors, the Valkyries. Death is taken to be the natural state of all things, even the gods. Any deviation from this norm is temporary and will soon be remedied. This logic extends to the time prior to life, and even a gestating fetus is taken to be dead until the moment of the quickening. Therefore, your life is a reprieve granted by your mother and sustained by your sisters. That sisterhood is the only thing that makes you any different from a kit ripped from its warren by a she-wolf with whelps to feed. Far better to be like the wolf.
Valkyrie regiments take the name of patron animal. Thirteen escadrilles compose a regiment and each consists of seventeen full fledged Valkyries, plus as many as seven teenage cadettes, and three senior advisors too old or maimed for combat. Escadrilles function more or less independently with the three fiercest groups supported by a left wing, a right wing, and a relief or rearguard; and the fleetest group left to respond to openings as the battle progresses.
