"When laws fail, when kingdoms crumble, we are the ones who remain standing in the ashes. We live by the sword, die by the sword. We sell our skills, not our souls."

The Red Company is a game where you'll take on the role of a mercenary and embark on a dangerous journey through a morally ambiguous and immersive dark fantasy world. (The story will be divided into three main Acts where you will meet different people and face different challenges.)

Genres: Dark Fantasy, Romance, Adventure, Psychological Thriller, Horror and Drama.

Warnings: This story is rated 18+ for depictions of violence, blood, death, gore, darker themes, mature language, (optional) explicit content, drug and substance abuse, psychological horror, mentions of past torture, mentions of past child abuse, and probably more things to be added later on—> If any of these themes or content may cause discomfort or distress, it is recommended to refrain from playing the game or to engage with caution.

Keelos is a realm known for its rich culture and magical heritage. The most potent form of magic, however, is not learned but a birthright etched into the bloodlines of the noble houses. Those who inherit this gift are referred to as the "Vestiges." The Vestiges belong to the 11 leading noble houses of Keelos, where these magical powers are inherited through generations, granting them abilities far beyond that of ordinary magic users. Each bloodline has its unique magical prowess that echoes its lineage's legacy.

However, the inheritance of these gifts is fickle – sometimes gracing multiple children within a single generation and, at other times, skipping several generations entirely. Regardless, the birth of a Vestige is always a significant event, celebrated with grandeur or dreaded in silence, based on the power they inherit.

Valyssa, one of the eleven Kingdoms of Keelos, once known for its thriving trade and powerful defenses, now teeters on the brink of chaos. The King's health is failing, and despite having fathered three illegitimate children, the laws of Valyssa dictate that only a Vestige can ascend to the throne. His bastards were not gifted with the bloodline magic; thus, the kingdom finds itself without a clear successor. The absence of a legitimate Vestige heir has thrown the noble houses into a power struggle, each vying for dominance and control over the kingdom.

The army, once Valyssa's pride, is now divided into different factions; its loyalties splintered among Varis's children, weakening the military's ability to maintain order and security. With the rise in violence and the state's inability to protect its citizens, the mercenaries once looked down upon are now a necessary evil.

The Red Company, a renowned and influential mercenary guild in the Kingdom of Valyssa lies in the bustling city of Valethorne, located on the crossroads of several major trade routes. Renowned for its integrity and unique blend of mercenaries, the Red Company represents a beacon of hope, kindness, and unity during a time of unrest.

In this game, you take on the role of the only child of Cassius, the revered leader of the Red Company Mercenaries. Your home is where you undergo hard-hitting training, intense strategizing, and prepare for the cutthroat reality of the mercenary life. This guild is not just your family but your lifeline in the dangerous world you're set to inherit.

Each day, you dive into the hardships that define the mercenary life. Loss and grief are as much a part of this life as victory and laughter. You learn that the sword isn't just a tool; it's a part of you, an extension of your will. Blood, sweat, and tears are your currency as you pay the price of survival in a world often too cruel to bear.

Under the watchful eye of your father, you face the critical decisions and dire consequences that come with leadership. Every choice you make, every step you take, carries the weight of the lives dependent on you. Your father's lessons become your mantras: Honor is non-negotiable. Loyalty is paramount. Caution is survival.

As you stand on the cliff of adulthood, you prepare for your coming-of-age mission. But the looming threat of the ruthless Iron Serpents and other mercenary groups and the turbulent political landscape of Veydis test your resilience, daring you to break.

Your legacy is the flame that holds back the broaching darkness. But the question remains:

For how long can the good days last before everything crumbles?

Under the Cut

Liran Haddeak [M]

"In you I’ve found a bond stronger than any blade. Always remember that I’ve got your back, today, tomorrow, always.”

Liran has been your best friend since childhood but his journey has always been rocky. For unknown reasons, he was deemed unfit and cast aside by his father. But Liran is anything but weak. Known for his calm demeanor and protective nature, he is the grounding presence in your chaotic life. And despite the harsh conditions that define a mercenary's life, Liran remains kind-hearted and steadfast. His unwavering loyalty and bravery make him a skilled fighter and major threat, especially since he has a trump card: Being a Vestige, he has the power to manipulate the air to his will. Underestimating him is a fatal mistake. (Liran will first appear in Act 1)

Appearance: Liran, is as unique as the wind he commands. His hair, a cascade of ash-blond locks, is secured in a ponytail, creating a stark contrast with his fair skin and the vibrancy of his blue eyes. Standing at an average height, he's lean yet sturdy, moving with an effortless grace. His features are soft but defined, and his smile reveals gentle dimples. He usually dresses in comfortable, pratical attire often opting for muted shades of grey.

Makena Thavari [F]

"You are a refreshing mystery in a world that's often too predictable. Kinda like a well-brewed potion with an unexpected kick."

Makena, the newest addition to the Red Company, is a woman of intellect and mystery. Her presence in a room is impossible to ignore. Makena's pursuit of knowledge led her down the path of healing, one of the most valuable skills in a world rife with conflict. She arrived at the Red Company with a healer's heart, ready to mend wounds and nurture those in need. But her entry isn't without its mysteries - an air of intrigue seems to surround her, creating a veil that others yearn to look beyond. (Makena will first appear in Act 3)

Appearance: Makena is a woman of captivating beauty, bearing a curvy build and a grace that reflects her unyielding inner strength. Her skin, a beautiful shade of brown, glows softly, exhibiting a subtle radiance. Makena's hair, dark as coal, is styled into elegant cornrows that cascade gently down her back. Her eyes, matching her skin in their rich brown color, are extraordinarily expressive, sparkling with both inquisitiveness and an enigmatic charm that few can resist. She dresses practically yet stylishly, in well-made and comfortable attire.

Riyah/Ridan/Riz [F/M/NB]

"You are like a constant thorn in my side. However, the day you falter, the day you break, will be the day I seize my moment."

Meet R, a formidable force of nature in a world of mercenaries. Born into a life of hardship and violence, R was destined for the mercenary path. As a child, rivalry brewed between them and you, a feud that has only intensified over the years. Upon reaching adulthood, R's ruthless nature and unmatched prowess in combat have sharpened their edge, making them an even more significant threat to The Red Company and especially you. (R will first appear in Act 1)

Appearance: R is an imposing figure, standing tall and carved like a mountain. They boast broad shoulders and a muscular build, embodying raw power and a wild ferocity. Their skin carries a warm brown, amplifying the ruggedness of their appearance. They have a striking face, its lines hard and unyielding, as if sculpted from stone. R has poisonous green eyes that shine with an intense, predatory gaze. If R is male or non-binary they have dark brown hair, very short and untamed and if R is female she has long dark brown hair that she keeps in two long braids.

Ghost [NB]

"Darling, I've been known to steal hearts. Be careful; you might be next."

"Ghost" - A person who's as elusive as their namesake, glides through the world with the grace of a prowling cat. Their real name, no one knows; They flirt and jest easily but trust rarely. As a master of deceit, Ghost thrives in the gray area between truth and lies, weaving webs that are often hard to disentangle. Ghost serves as a stark reminder that not all is as it seems, and sometimes, the deadliest are those who strike from the shadows. (Ghost will first appear in Act 2)

Appearance: Ghost is an enigmatic figure, embodying agility and swift silence in their lithe build. They stand at a modest height, their form radiating an aura of nimbleness. Their skin is fair, offering a stark contrast to their long, dark hair that flows loosely. Their raven-black eyes are truly hypnotizing, always sparkling with a touch of mischief, as if hiding secrets deep within their depths. Ghost's face is a tapestry of delicate features: a small, straight nose, a soft jawline, and thin brows often raised in silent amusement. They dress simply, yet with an undeniable flair. Their attire, while practical, is always of high quality and meticulously maintained.

Captain Joryn [TransM/TransF]

"You're quite a treasure, but don't forget - the ocean's depths are a vast hiding place for things..."

Captain Joryn, the notorious pirate who rules the sea lanes of Valyssa. With a glint of shrewdness in their eyes and a smirk forever on their face, Joryn embodies the audacity and relentless pursuit of wealth that only a pirate could understand. Uncompromisingly stubborn, Joryn bows to no one, and their greed is a force of nature that rivals the fiercest tempests they have ever faced at sea. Few have seen what lies behind their raucous laughter and tales of grandeur. Either way, those who underestimate Captain Joryn often find themselves at the bottom of the sea. (Captain Joryn will first appear in Act 2)

Appearance: Joryn is a captivating mix of elegance and intensity, a reflection of the sea they dominate. Their skin is brown and adorned with a multitude of intricate tattoos, a story, a memory etched permanently onto them. High cheekbones and full lips contribute to their captivating beauty and their eyes, deep and bewitching, are as dark as the ocean ground. Female Joryn keeps her hair in long, dark, dreadlocks and has a more lean yet curvaceous figure while Male Joryn hair is shorter but styles his hair in dreadlocks as well, otherwise he keeps his beard carefully trimmed and he is more lean and muscular. They adorn themselves with lots of accessories and jewels, spoils from their “adventures” and they prefer wearing loose and comfortable attire.

General Alva Rothar [M/F/NB]

"You mercenaries are like stray dogs, useful at times, but liable to bite the hand that feeds you. Cross me, and I assure you, the leash can tighten rather quickly."

Shrouded in an enigmatic aura, the stoic General Rothar is a name whispered with equal parts respect and caution across Valyssa. A master strategist and veteran of countless battles, their keen mind has played a pivotal role in many victories. Yet, beneath their stern exterior lies a complex tapestry of loyalty and cunning. No one can tell where their allegiance truly lies in the current succession crisis. With a gaze as sharp as a freshly honed blade, they observe the chaos with an inscrutable calm. Many have tried to gauge their leanings, only to be met with a penetrating stare and an enigmatic half-smile. Are they a friend or a foe? Only time will tell. But one thing's certain, crossing paths with General Rothar is never without consequence. (General Rothar will first appear in Act 3)

Appearance: General Rothar is a living testament to countless battles and victories. They stand above average height, their presence commanding attention wherever they go. Regardless of gender their light brown hair is kept short and always impeccably maintained, mirroring their rigid discipline. Their features are surprisingly soft yet captivating, with deep-set, piercing grey eyes that are ever-observant, missing nothing. Countless scars run across their body, each a memento of a battle fought and won, but the most notable scar is on General Rothar's face, is a jagged line that cuts across their left cheek, adding to their stern appearance. Cloaked in the uniform of their rank, the General displays an air of unmistakable authority, their every step echoing with the strength of a seasoned warrior.

Why buying Diablo 4 gold is essential for a successful gaming experience

The importance of currency in Diablo 4

Diablo 4 is an action role-playing game that requires players to complete quests, fight against enemies and progress through levels. However, in order to purchase items, upgrade equipment and access new areas, players need to have a sufficient amount of in-game currency.

The benefits of buying Diablo 4 gold

Many players choose to buy Diablo 4 gold to gain an advantage in the game. By having a large amount of in-game currency, players can purchase the best equipment, upgrade their abilities and progress through the game more quickly. This gives them a competitive edge over other players who don't have as much currency.

When you buy Diablo 4 gold from a reputable seller, you can also ensure that you are getting the best price for your currency. This means you can get more currency for your money, which can be especially useful if you are on a budget or want to maximize your gaming experience without breaking the bank.

The risks of buying Diablo 4 gold

Despite the benefits of buying Diablo 4 gold, there are also some risks associated with this practice. One of the biggest risks is the potential for fraud or scams. Some sellers may not deliver the currency as promised, or may sell fake or illegitimate currency that can lead to account bans or other issues.

That's why it's important to only buy diablo 4 gold from trustworthy sellers who have a proven track record of delivering quality and legitimate currency. You can do research online and ask for recommendations from other players to help ensure that you are dealing with a reputable seller.

Conclusion

Overall, buying Diablo 4 gold can be a great way to enhance your gaming experience and gain an advantage in the game. However, it's also important to be aware of the risks and take steps to protect yourself when making these purchases. By understanding the importance of currency in Diablo 4 and the benefits and risks of buying Diablo 4 gold, you can make an informed decision about whether this practice is right for you.

How to Earn Safe and Legal Diablo 4 Currency Instead of Buying it

The Risks of Buying Diablo 4 Gold

Many players are tempted to buy Diablo 4 Gold from third-party websites or individuals, but this can be a risky move. Not only is it against the game's terms of service, but it can also lead to account suspension or even permanent bans. In addition, there is no guarantee that the currency you receive is legitimate or safe to use.

Instead of taking these risks, there are several ways to earn Diablo 4 Gold safely and legally within the game.

One of the most straightforward ways to earn Diablo 4 Gold is by completing in-game activities. This includes quests, bounties, and events. By completing these activities, you can earn gold as a reward. In addition, you can also sell items that you find during these activities for gold.

It's important to note that some activities may be more profitable than others. For example, completing bounties in Adventure Mode can be a great way to earn gold quickly.

Seasons are a special feature in Diablo 4 that allow players to start fresh with a new character and compete for rewards. By participating in seasons, you can earn exclusive cosmetic items, as well as gold and other rewards.

Seasons typically last for several months and have specific challenges and objectives that players must complete. By completing these challenges, you can earn rewards that can be used in the main game.

Trade with Other Players

When trading with other players, it's important to be cautious and only trade with trusted individuals. It's also important to make sure that the items or currency being traded are legitimate and safe to use.

Conclusion

Buying Diablo 4 Gold may seem like an easy way to get ahead in the game, but it comes with significant risks. Instead, players can earn gold safely and legally by completing in-game activities, participating in seasons, and trading with other players.

Crypto Gambling Regulations

In this article, I am going to be finding out about the legality of Bitcoin in America and some other countries to offer you an image of exactly what can and can’t be done within the law. Additionally, I’ll be analyzing which places allow and disallow on web gambling generally speaking and the greatest Bitcoin casinos in particular. Collectively, we will observe how strictly regulated this marketplace is.

What Is The Current State Of Bitcoin Gambling Regulation?

The regulation in the area of Bitcoin gambling is extremely immature and creates numerous gaps for speculation. Operators launching their on the web casinos which will accept Bitcoin are easily confused by questionable facts and ambiguous activities of authorities when it comes to cryptocurrency.

Desiring to run their venture legally, these folks try to look away whether offering gambling solutions for Bitcoin is normally legal, if a Bitcoin gambling shop has to be licensed, and players from what countries around the world can be approved.

Key Facts On Bitcoin Gambling Legality

Currently, there are certainly no single, clear-cut answers to the queries earlier mentioned. But on the other hand, below are a few useful key points that must be recognized:

1) In general there are basically no certain laws controlling Bitcoin gambling. It’s neither legally given permission to be nor banned.

2) Attitude of numerous authorities to Bitcoin is changing incredibly promptly, with increased and even more countries around the world looking at Bitcoin positively and discussing legislation of cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based solutions. But on the other hand, many government authorities are today still not talking about Bitcoin as to real money. If it isn’t really a “real” currency, any laws around traditional (fiat currency) on the web casinos must not be applied to Bitcoin gambling platforms.

3) Regardless of the above, in parts of the world where gambling is strictly restricted, just like the United States, the authorities may still pull solid measures alongside Bitcoin gambling platforms and/or gamblers who make wagers with Bitcoin.

4) Bitcoin gambling ınternet sites provide the benefit of improved anonymity to players. Bitcoin transactions coupled with anonymizing approaches like Tor cause it to extremely hard for the authorities to track gamblers.

5) A couple of reputable gambling jurisdictions currently issue the permit to casinos accepting Bitcoin (notably, Curacao as well as the United Kingdom), which means they approve the responsibility of controlling the functionality of cryptocurrency platforms. So long as the online casino is following the regulations and rules of the chosen legislation, it works legally.

Is Bitcoin Gambling Eligible In America?

Gambling in the USA is a legal aspect that comes up regularly. With federal government regulations that conflict with state issuances, space can often be gray about which areas can service on the web gambling and which are not able to. This means that gambling with cryptocurrency, the most recent trend in investment and transaction concepts, is also a muddied matter.

Bitcoin is definitely the first and the most popular decentralized currency which allows users to make rapid, anonymous transactions. Although gambling with traditional currency has already been complicated enough in the USA, putting in this volatile BTC or other gambling tokens into the mix increases concerns.

Legislation Bitcoin remains to be hung all the way up in Congress; that’s, cryptocurrency is most not at all illegitimate. But on the other hand, in the USA, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are certainly not acknowledged as legal tender. They are simply technically described as merchandise. This means that government entities need virtual coins to be verified and authorized inside the country’s database.

As being a commodity or security, government entities have got to the right capture taxes right from a person who earnings from BTC. Investors and traders alike are actually by law obligated to fork over a large amount of their revenue to Uncle Sam-if you gamble with Bitcoin and earn, the pertains to you as well. Although this topic is fast-paced, the consensus is the fact that Bitcoin is currently legal in the states and controlled to the point of taxes.

In the event that online gambling with fiat cash is announced legal in your country, then is considered more than likely that gambling with Bitcoin is eligible as well. Here is a glance at a few of the most on the web gambling and bitcoin-friendly countries around the world to this point.

Bitcoin Gambling Legality in Australia

On the web gambling status: Friendly

Bitcoin status: Extremely friendly

It’s legal for residents in Australia to gamble on the web, however, it is illegal for gambling providers to give their services from within the country. This means that on the web casinos operating in legal jurisdictions have to offer solutions to gamers in Australia.

The Australian authorities are all for the use of cryptocurrencies – when it is properly regulated for the safety of its residents in addition to systems in place to avoid money laundering. Within the topic of Bitcoin, in particular, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia has left a comment that using Bitcoin is absolutely legal, adding there’s basically no legislation to prevent that.

Bitcoin Gambling Legality in Canada

On the web gambling status: Friendly

Bitcoin status: Extremely friendly

Just like Australia, Canada allows its citizens to gamble on the web, but, it prohibits gaming that is provided by a company that is not owned or operated, or certified by provincial authorities. In regards to Bitcoin use, in particular, it seems the Canadian authorities have made no formal restriction relating to the cryptocurrencies’ use.

A light limitation is a positive gain for Bitcoin users as Canada was the first of all nations across the world to pass regulation surrounding Bitcoin, they appear to have to lead the way for including approaches to protect users while permitting the cryptocurrency to prosper. More and more top-ranking Canadian casinos approve transactions in bitcoins. During 2013 the first Bitcoin ATM was mounted in Vancouver and now there are about 205 bitcoin ATMs r and tellers through Canada, with Toronto and as well, Vancouver called the Bitcoin hubs.

In conclusion, for those who are gambling on the web in Canada with Bitcoin, you’re not controlled by any regulation, unless you are an on the web gambling merchant or Bitcoin broker.

Bitcoin Gambling Legality in the UK

On the web gambling status: Regulated, friendly

Bitcoin status: Extremely friendly

It’s legal to gamble on the web in England, provided that the gaming provider has employed for and has been lately awarded a UK Gambling Commission payment (UKGC) issued Remote Gaming Permit. Since August 2016, the UKGC legally gave great Britain licensed on the web casinos permission to simply accept bitcoin as a deposit and cash out medium.

To decrease incidents of money laundering, also because of bitcoin’s huge impact on web gambling’s popularity, the Bank of England continues to be keeping its eye on Bitcoin technology and improvements, also requesting residents to share thoughts on approaches to enhance its monetary system.

In England, Bitcoin is recognized as “private money” and VALUE-ADDED TAX is applied as regular. All trading exchanges for goods and services that approve Bitcoin and various other cryptocurrencies happen to be taxed.

Bitcoin Gambling Legality in France

On the web gambling status: Regulated, friendly

Bitcoin situation: Friendly

From the advent of the roulette wheel to the initial variant of baccarat, France contributes to the birth of many of these forms of gambling we use at the moment. Nevertheless, any kind of form of gambling in France needs a permit, although the regulations are not in particular strict – authorities that monitor gambling do so essential in order to keep French citizens from getting addicted.

Bottom line

Generally speaking, Bitcoin gambling is eligible since it is not targeted as a specific illegal endeavor. Due to differing laws by state, you should reflect on two things: if Internet gambling is limited where you reside, and if Bitcoin is limited as a payment solution within your state. All states can easily bet international on approved ınternet sites; which is a current afforded.

But states that complicate virtual currency could doubtless slap you with legal action if they need licenses to transact with Bitcoin. A state just like Connecticut may construe depositing Bitcoin into a gambling shop account to be selling your cryptocurrency and as well, slap you with a fine for doing this without a certificate.

Action against virtual currency fanatics is essentially unheard of this way, most importantly amongst the gambling realm. As long as you do your research, pay taxes, and do not knowingly break state legislation, Bitcoin Gambling is safe.

Trade Neo Items in the Neopets Black Market

Neopets is a flash-based website launched in 1999. It’s a virtual world of pets where you create and name your pet by selecting from a variety of fantasy creatures.

Players are supposed to take care of the pets by playing games. Using Neocash, the players purchase food, buy clothes, build homes and explore new landscapes in the

Neopia world. You could even give your Neopets their own pets called Petpets. The game’s mobile version is in beta testing and ready for launch soon. If you have ever played Neocash, you would know it’s an addiction. People are so obsessed with building homes and buying rare items for their pets. They are so

invested in it that they are ready to ready to spend money to make their Neofriends jealous by showing off their collection. There’s a whole Neocash trade going on. In

other words, there’s an entire black where players buy and sell game items, game mascots, and currency in exchange for real money.

The Black Market and Neocash Mall The Neopets black market differs from Neocash Mall. NC mall lets you shop for the fanciest items to enhance your customization experience. These items are

purchased using Neocash and are purely decorative. Neocash is a currency accepted at the NC Mall and it’s different from Neopoints. Neocash can be bought using

Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal. You can also buy Neocash Cards and redeem them on-site. When you are shopping for Neopets items on the black market, you are using real money i.e. your country’s currency (perhaps dollars) to buy or sell the items. Here,

Neocash is not used for purchase.

What Do They Sell? Neopets markets sell tons of items. They are packed in bundles and sold at affordable rates. The items include: Neopets You can buy unconverted neopets that probably your friends haven’t seen in years. Neopoints You can buy Neopoints in exchange for cash and they shop for the items of your choice from Neocash Mall. Paintbrushes Paintbrushes to paint your Neopet are sold as well. And the list goes on and on.

Is it Safe to Trade in the Neopet Black Market? Here, you must use your judgment. Not every dealer in the black market is legitimate. You would be buying items using your credit or debit card, which is why one

must do the due diligence before choosing a specific dealer to buy/sell Neopets items. The best way to ensure the legitimacy of the dealer is to check out their reviews. Some say it’s hard to trade in the Neopets black markets because the community has

set strict criteria that one must meet. This is to prevent illegitimate accounts and minimize the theft of items. Usually, the items purchased are delivered within 24 hours of making the payment. With new pets, clothes, and other cool items, you can stand out from the crowd

and become the top player. After buying exotic items from Neopets black market, you will be enjoying the gameplay even more. You will be the most competitive player out there. No wonder

people are willing to spend money to be the best.

Lands of Orsterra

For my own convenience, I’ve compiled some of the basic information about each region in Orsterra! These are coming from canon game facts, either taken from in-game quests/inquiries or from the JP Octopath website

We get a lot of kingdom names here and since I can’t read Japanese, spellings vary / spoilers!

The Sunlands

Ruled by the Kingdom of Triberia

Kings are chosen at the Great Assembly, by the vote of the other chiefs

100 years ago, the twelve clans warred against each other for control of a small oasis

The Yashum Clan ended the strife by uniting the clans

The current king, King Khalim, and his daughter, Gloria, hail from the Yashum Clan

The Highlands

Currently not ruled by any kingdom, unstable with strife

Was controlled by the Kingdom of Hornburg for 200 years until its downfall 8 years ago

The kingdom of Hornburg was founded by Beowulf, second prince of Ferien (which then ruled the Cliftlands and Riverlands), as a reward for his successful conquests

Last ruler was King Alfred, who was slain by Erhardt during the country’s civil war

Currently, the remaining lords are locked in a power struggle for the region

Known for: dairy farming, major paper/timber production, book archive

Also mentions of the Ventus Dynasty which had ruled in Everhold 300 years ago

Leading up to his death, Ventus III had introduced several reforms that brought a prosperous age to the kingdom under his son’s rule

After his son died, the kingdom fell into civil war

Two brothers (to put into perspective, Ventus III’s grandsons) fought over the throne; one the son of the queen, the other the bastard son of the king’s mistress

the illegitimate son was older and better of the two, but “only true blood matters, and the throne was his brother’s” (Ventus the Third quest line)

Simeon’s the younger brother who won the war

The Riverlands

Ruled by the Riven/Reeven Kingdom

Formerly was a part of the Kingdom of Ferien, until 150 years ago Ferien split

Fertile land, agricultural goldmine

Rivers are vital to trade industry

Church of the Sacred Flame has large influence (Saintsbridge)

10-12 years ago the Great Pestilence spread through the Riverlands

10 years ago Alfyn got sick (side note: Graham was 24 when he treated Alfyn)

The sickness was spread via the river (based on inquiry; it’s not explicitly labeled the Pestilence, but I think it’s likely that this is how it spread; the disease consumed all of the Riverlands, after all)

Same inquiry implies a significant number of deaths were from lack of a clean water supply; deaths from sickness and dehydration

Riverford had several disasters: within the last 27 years, its river has flooded, fires ravaged the town, their lord was overthrown

Currently ruled by King Richard

The Woodlands

Not a unified country, but autonomous villages and cities

Bordered by the Verdant Deep (the sea) on the west

Home to the Darkwood tribe and remnants of the Greenwood tribe (though the people of the Greenwood tribe were banished by the Darkwood; see: Ashlan)

Land appears to be shared with local lords (see: Lord Ciaran in H’aanit’s chapter 1)

The Cliftlands

Ruled by the Kingdom of Edras

Formerly was part of the Kingdom of Ferien, but likely became Edras after the Ferien princes’ battle over the throne 150 years ago, which had created the Riverland’s Kingdom of Riven/Reeven

Economy fueled by smithing industry and abundance in rock salt for trade

Home to wealthy nobles and hotspot for merchants

However, there is a stark divide between the wealthy and impoverished

Kingdom of Edras’ currency -- leaves -- are the major currency of Orsterra

Currently ruled by King Elman

The Frostlands

Autonomous cities

Home to Flamesgrace, where the main cathedral for the Order of the Sacred Flame resides

Thought of as the land where Aelfric descended

When Grandport invaded the Flatlands 200 years ago, the Church of the Sacred Flame allied with the Flatlands tribes to repel them; in thanks, the Flatlands tribes (Wald Kingdom) awarded them Flamesgrace*

The Flatlands

Ruled by the Wald/Wolde Kingdom

Home to the Royal Academy, where scholars study

In the past, was made up of eight tribes that constantly fought

The tribes united 200 years ago when the Kingdom of Grandport invaded

With the help of the Church of the Sacred Flame, they repelled Grandport and united into the Kingdom of Wald

Currently ruled by King Othred II, to be succeeded by Princess Mary

In the present, the Royal Academy seems to be spearheading medical research and treatment

The Coastlands

Autonomous city-states

Formerly ruled by the Kingdom of Grandport which fell after they lost a war to the Flatlands 200 years ago

Fishing industry and trade thrive here

Significant damage from pirates/pillagers/private vessels

Often trades with the continent to the east (that we know nothing about)

The seas in the east are described as stormy

*unsure about this translation, but it makes sense to me since Atlasdam and Flamesgrace are very close to each other

I’m still going through the game and looking through JP content, but here’s what I’ve got so far! This might get updated as I find/amend things.

The Unexpected Benefits of Crypto and Web3 in Fighting Financial Crime

While the vision for a decentralized Web3 and decentralized finance (DeFi) stirs up buzz and offers multiple growth opportunities, it needs attention in one critical area – security. Web3 potentially can compete or even replace corporations with decentralized, internet-based organizations governed by software protocols and the votes of token holders.

Apart from recording transfers of digital coins, blockchain networks such as Ethereum and others are proving useful in its ability to generate contracts and control how software and apps work. Additionally, the volume of decentralized applications (dapps) is growing. A “DApp” is an app created on a decentralized network that uses a smart contract and a frontend user interface. Already, there are nearly 9,000 active dapps comprising of Crypto trading platforms and games – and the space has yet to reach its inflection point. So how do we secure and regulate all this?

A New Stomping Ground for Financial Crime

Financial crime has found a new avenue with the increasing use of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency-based offenses hit an all-time high of $14 billion in 2021 – and fraud is already the dominant cryptocurrency crime, followed by theft.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is the up-and-coming threat for fraud and money laundering based on blockchain technology. In fact, DeFi hacks and fraud are on the rise, as shown below, with DeFi-related hacks seeing a 2.7x increase in 2021 from 2020.

Regulators raise concerns about DeFi apps that exchange currencies with no due diligence, identity, or AML checks. And the SEC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and IRS have all started asserting regulatory control in the space. For example, the CFTC has the authority to regulate Crypto as a commodity, and the IRS has stated that cryptocurrency investments will be treated like any other assets for tax purposes. Moreover, FinCEN has enforced anti-money laundering (AML) rules more. A case in point for authorities cracking down is the infamous "Crocodile of Wall Street" and her partner, who has been charged in NYC for trying to launder 4.5BN in Crypto.

Why Should We Care?

Aside from the fraud losses and penalties associated with financial crime, what happens behind the scenes of money laundering is very harrowing. From human trafficking, terrorist financing, to illicit drug trades, money laundering can fund tragic realities which we often do not want to think about. If you do not like any of the aforementioned, you should care about AML and how it is currently a mess.

AML rules are frighteningly ineffective at preventing and detecting financial crime. At best, they are rudimentary, do not account for various scenarios and organizations, and are difficult to change. Compliance alert systems based on standard regulatory technology trigger thousands of false positives every day. With false-positive rates sometimes exceeding 95%, something is very broken with traditional processes and rules.

These false alarms must be reviewed by a compliance officer. In fixed, rules-based AML and fraud models, the simpleness leads to many false positives that disguise actual illegitimate activity. Therefore, It is no surprise that more than 90% of laundered money in the world goes undetected.

Such rules and assumptions are often tricky and time-consuming to change in incumbent systems and, as a result, provide a limited foundation for anomaly detection. Moreover, Incumbent solutions have a narrow view of transaction trails, whereas several non-monetary data streams such as user behaviors and entities may provide helpful context.

A solution lies in looking at the overall activity around transactions and dynamically changing and adjusting rules in response to threats. Everyone trying to build a Web3 strategy should also be concerned about fraud and money laundering in decentralized channels. Interestingly, it is easier to monitor transactions in Web3 networks.

Misconceptions Around Crypto and Web3

Many observers argue that there will be more crime in Web3 networks because individuals and businesses are anonymous. This is not entirely correct. Web3 brings pseudonymity and transparency. People can track activity in real-time to see what's happening in these networks. In Crypto, you might not know a bad actor's name, but you can see them and their activity via services such as Pocket Network, Etherscan and other data monitoring platforms that enable tracking.

Crypto can be valuable at detecting fraud and money laundering at a network level. That is because every network and every transaction is shared and is a public record. Each coin transaction or NFT trade is published and searchable. Crypto forensics services such as Chainlysis use this public data to follow activity and transactions across entire networks. As mentioned, pseudonymity is not anonymity, and with the right tools we can monitor and detect anomalous or bad behavior.

Follow the Activity, Not the Rails

With AML being broken, we have an opportunity to drive change. New fintech solutions are already simplifying identifying and addressing financial crime. For example, platforms such as Unit21 and others bring unprecedented control and visibility into existing structures and rule sets. In addition, data storage and analytics has developed and helped made organizations work with consistent and better data. This data can point towards patterns and anomalous activities when it is up-to-date and brought together. And we can tap into this data in Web3 systems - especially if we deploy new and intelligent rules.

By design, you can see all activity and exchanges in decentralized networks. In Web3, you can watch crime as it happens. Yes, you will not know who's doing it, but you can follow the money. By following the money, teams can see what entities bad actors interact with to identify them eventually. In following the trail of transactions, law enforcement has found criminals at exchanges in which they ultimately have to cash out on their funds. This is how Crypto is regulated today – any centralized body must identify individuals transacting with them.

Regulators and law enforcement can find criminals in Web3 networks by watching for interactions with the existing systems. Fintech insider podcast host Simon Taylor stated, "We need to regulate the activity, not the rail or the software." Activity monitoring is a crucial exercise risk and compliance teams will have to undertake to protect their business and users. As Web3 scams and fraud become more common, organizations will need to help authorities with enforcement. Having tools that provide visibility and control over rules in monitoring activity will be essential.

Web3 technologies will see increasing adoption by businesses, governments, and different users to be watched and regulated. However, it provides a conducive environment for monitoring and catching illicit activity. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how we can use these networks for visibility and control to pre-empt financial crimes and any inhumane actions they are enabling.

It’s ‘Dorsey’s Node’ as Bitcoin Marches Higher, DOGE Chokes

Bitcoin (BTC) was higher early Friday, pushing toward $38,000, around the highest levels in about three weeks.

The news overnight was mixed, with an Australian central bank official telling lawmakers in the country that bitcoin is “not a payment instrument and it’s not even really money,” while Twitter and Square (SQ) CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted that he had set up his own bitcoin node.

Key price levels: “Should we go higher, we’ll be eyeing the $40,035 mark as the next resistance,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the cryptocurrency exchange firm EQUOS, wrote early Friday in an emailed note. “Should we edge back down, the $34,855 mark will be the level to watch.”

Related: Arcane Crypto Lists on Nasdaq First North After Reverse Takeover

DeFi to the moon: CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole reported Friday that some investors “look to be temporarily shifting focus away from bitcoin and toward crypto tokens associated with decentralized finance,” such as Compound’s COMP token and Aave’s AAVE. (Read more about this in Bitcoin Watch and Token Watch, below.)

And dogecoin (DOGE)? The price of the token, symbolized by the dog breed Shiba Inu, was down 16% on Friday, after a brief rally late Thursday. The post below was representative of the flavor of the chatter on Reddit:

Market Moves: Bank of England takes baby step toward negative interest rates

The Bank of England has asked British banks to prepare for negative interest rates within six months, opening the possibility the U.K. central bank could eventually join counterparts in Europe and Japan in pursuing ultra-loose monetary policy.

Only an option, we swear: Officials were quick to note the central bank wasn’t signaling an intention to actually push borrowing rates below zero – just that option might be needed at some point. The main bank rate is currently set at 0.1%.

Story continues

Related: China’s BSN Onboards EY for Ethereum Compliance Tools

“The BOE wants to have its cake and eat it, too: recognize that negative interest rates as a possible tool, which may help keep rates down without delivering what would appear to be a disruptive move,” Marc Chandler, a former head currency strategist for foreign-exchange giants Brown Brothers Harriman and HSBC, wrote Thursday on SeekingAlpha.

Negative interest rates have always been a head-scratcher, given the prospect that borrowers in the country may at some point find themselves getting to take out loans, rather than forking over interest payments to their lenders. Or that savers might end up paying banks to hold their money, instead of receiving income on deposits.

Bitcoin’s validation? The announcement – made via a published letter that was sent to bankers, with a subsequent news conference held by Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey – offers the latest validation of the economic scenario many bitcoin bulls are betting on: that despite the ongoing rollout of coronavirus vaccines, the world’s monetary authorities aren’t likely to stop stoking global financial markets with easy money anytime soon.

More money printing: Economists are reading the tea leaves and coming to the conclusion the Bank of England may also opt to increase its £895 billion (US$1.3 trillion) target for asset purchases, a form of stimulus pioneered by the U.S. Federal Reserve in which central banks essentially pump new money into financial markets. Pantheon, the forecasting firm, predicted Thursday the U.K. central bank will increase the target by £50 billion later this year.

The Federal Reserve, for what it’s worth, is currently buying $120 billion of assets a month, and Chair Jerome Powell has said there’s no need to cut interest rates to negative levels; currently, the key U.S. short-term rate is set at just above zero. But pressure might build on the Fed to experiment with more unconventional monetary policies if the world’s other major central banks keep moving in that direction.

Bitcoin Watch

The path of least resistance for bitcoin appears to be to the upside, writes CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole, as demand continues to outstrip supply.

The cryptocurrency has broken out of a descending channel on the daily chart, indicating scope for a re-test of record highs above $41,900, Godbole wrote Friday. The market focus may shift back to bitcoin if the cryptocurrency charts a quick move upwards. (See chart above.)

Stimulus plan moves forward: The U.S. Senate narrowly voted early Friday to adopt a budget blueprint for President Joe Biden’s $1.9 billion coronavirus relief package, a legislative track that’s being closely watched by bitcoin bulls betting the cryptocurrency can serve as an inflation hedge during an era of outsize government and monetary stimulus.

Dollar strength: The U.S. dollar is on track for its strongest weekly gain since October on investor optimism for a faster economic recovery. The greenback’s strength makes bitcoin’s 14% gain since Sunday look more impressive because the cryptocurrency’s price is denominated in dollars.

Token Watch

DEFI TOKENS MOON: In the past 24 hours, DeFi-linked tokens such as COMP, AAVE, KNC and ZRX leapt to fresh all-time highs. Compound’s governance token COMP clocked a new record of $500, taking the month-to-date gain to above 40%. Oracle provider Chainlink’s LINK token is also benefitting from the broad-based rally across DeFi. AAVE, the token of the DeFi lending protocol Aave, rose 21% to a record. ZRX, from the Ethereum-based decentralized exchange 0x, is up 60% in the past 24 hours.

ETHER GAS PRICE FALLOUT: Japan cryptocurrency exchange Liquid temporarily halted ether (ETH) withdrawals as gas fees hit new highs.

COMPOUND VS. AAVE: Aave has a “fighting chance” to the take the crown from Compound as “DeFi’s most popular lending protocol,” according to The Defiant.

Who ISN’T investing in crypto these days? LL Cool J, the Queens, N.Y.-born rapper and entrepreneur, is among a glitzy roster of limited partners backing North Island Ventures’ newly revealed $72 million fund, CoinDesk’s Zack Seward reported Thursday. Paul Tudor Jones II, the legendary hedge fund manager who last year was among the first big institutional investors to espouse bitcoin as an inflation hedge, is also involved. North Island Ventures is chaired by Glenn Hutchins, a co-founder of the technology-investment firm Silver Lake and until recently a board member of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Jack Dorsey has set up his own bitcoin node. The Twitter and Square CEO, who has used his posts to promote the cryptocurrency, shared an image Friday “showing the node in the action of synchronizing with the bitcoin blockchain,” CoinDesk’s Tanzeel Akhtar reported. In the latest post he wrote simply, “Running #bitcoin.”

What Else

$90M hedge fund deceit: Cryptocurrency hedge fund founder Stefan Qin pleaded guilty in New York Thursday to deceiving investors out of more than $90 million. According to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday, Qin, a 24-year-old Australian national and founder of Virgil Capital, had been charged with a single count of securities fraud in Manhattan’s federal court.

Arcane stock goes live: Shares in the Norwegian cryptocurrency analysis firm Arcane Crypto started trading Friday under the ticker ARCANE on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, after completion of reverse takeover. According to this, the stock has a market capitalization of about 1.7 billion Swedish krona ($200 million).

Move over, GameStop: Brokerage firms report boom in online bond trading, including corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities.

Was anything wrong with the GameStop saga, or just markets being markets?

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigators are combing social-media and message-board posts for signs that fraud played a role in the recent GameStop (GME) stock-price pump, Bloomberg News reported. Regulators in Massachusetts are also looking into the case.

Prosecutors reaching: The story shows how pressed the official overseers of traditional markets are to bring a solid case over the move, which appeared to be coordinated by retail stock traders on the Reddit forum r/WallStreetBets. The basic defense is that they were just sharing their opinions publicly, perhaps less suspicious than the type of private information sharing and insider access that’s prized on Wall Street.

What’s the big deal? Cryptocurrency analysts have noted the similarities between the GameStop saga and the type of anything-goes trading that happens every day in 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, international digital-asset markets, where no single exchange or country dominates the action and regulations seem to be constantly catching up to the industry’s fast-evolving growth. Coordination on social media? Check. Triple-digit percentage moves? Check. A sometimes complete lack of news to explain price pumps or price dumps? Check.

So it’s perhaps not surprising some crypto-industry executives are using the opportunity to tee off on everything that’s wrong with the traditional financial system. Or maybe what’s wrong with believing there’s a right way to think about a trade and a wrong way.

William Quigley, co-founder of WorldWide Asset eXchange, a decentralized video-game and entertainment network, said in emailed comments Thursday that “at its core, investing all about convincing someone else of the merits of buying a stock or other asset – or the opposite.”

Even in traditional markets, there are all sorts of reasons for getting in and out of the market – including “programmatic trading that pays no heed at all to underlying fundamentals.”

“The notion that WallStreetBets is somehow illegitimate because it is encouraging going long GME without solid fundamentals to back it up there is irrelevant,” Quigley said.

The “pure speculation” in dogecoin recently is no different, he added.

Dogecoin, for those who haven’t followed the thread, is a “meme token,” symbolized by the Japanese dog breed Shina Inu, was launched in 2013 as a joke. Elon Musk, the electric-vehicle and private-spaceflight entrepreneur who’s reportedly the world’s richest man, likes to tweet about it. People are talking about it on the Reddit forum r/SatoshiStreetBets.

“It has no fundamental value drivers,” Quigley said. “People buy dogecoin for one reason: pure speculation. They hope other people will buy it and pay a higher price.”

Quigley is giving his opinion. Just like the commenters on Reddit and Warren Buffett on CNBC when he talks about the virtues of his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway’s investments in railroads and Coca-Cola.
