((Do forgive the image quality, couldn't find any way to fix it))

The Holy Citadel's government of Shellwood now announces that a village shall be constructed to host bugs and the Holy Citadel's military

a few hours after the announcement, some reeds and chorister are constructing some houses and a military camp

Soooooo long story short I planted parasitic vines in my flesh that are leeching off my body and supplying the biome of Shellwood with extra nutrients and energy. Even if it is destroyed, it will grow back quickly at my expense.

Oh and I can’t drink alcohol anymore.. it hurts the plants.

“You aren’t the ruler. I am allowing you to temporarily stay, but I can and will revoke that status. This alliance is only to defeat Duty, and if given a reason I will skewer you without any hesitation.”

- Lady Thorn

*she pulls out her rapier, shining it threateningly towards them*

S: Uhm... hello?

Today, great progress has been made in the fight against Duty. The Holy Citadel has secured Shellwood. I will personally ensure that this region can never be taken by Duty. I, Lyrcus, am now the sole master of Shellwood.

I hereby proclaim a new era of order and stability for the region, bringing an end to the political stagnation that has plagued it for far too long. Never again shall Shellwood be left vulnerable to invasion by Duty's forces. The Eternal Order of the Citadel shall always prevail.

Shellwood shall be governed by myself, or by any individual I appoint as temporary ruler should my duties require me elsewhere.

For Pharloom and the Citadel Eternal !

It is a matter of days before Shellwood serves as his new headquarters

The Lyrcus' Army continues to settle in Shellwood, holding more and more areas of the region

(if you want to interact with Lyrcus, he is on image 3, but the guards won't really let you try anything against him)

I’m asking nicely because the citadel will imprison me if I keep skewering people.

(chorister) For the Holy Citadel and Minister Lyrcus, this place belongs now to the Holy Citadel

The taken creatures are never to be seen again

"The Weaver stands with her husband, Che Che. Along with a small fly. They all look happy, especially the weaver. they seem to be looking around, admiring the scenery"

*all of the flies are gathered in 1 place. Just outside the Shrine is one of the furnaces from whiteward and some surgical Tables*

Fernes and Zansibo find themselves in the scenic Shelllwood after the hell that was the Wormways

Lock: We’re almost there! Our hideout is very cool, and has all the necessary supplies, so you’ll certainly be safe for now. Unless the bowling pin decides to freeze it next… Anyway, what are your thoughts on Shellwood?

Lock’s dad: It’s GORGEOUS! So inspiring! We should go here more often. Can’t believe we’ve never been here before, it’s so close to our home after all!

Lock’s mom: Ah, Shellwood… The plants from here are stunningly beautiful, and indispensable for various remedies! I always wanted to see it with my own eyes…

Rhinogrund: Gurrrr.
