Loyal Citizens of the Kingdom- the King was pleased to announce that the 482nd Pilgrimage is starting this upcoming month! In order to retain healthcare, inheritance rights, wages, and citizenship as you all know this pilgrimage is mandatory. The Duke of Osea will be providing transport for all citizens at no costs- so do not forget to make the trip down to the Shrine Of The Depths to show gratitude for the sea's bounty and to pay your respects to the former King Nemos, as we celebrate the 567th Nemo in the line who brought us up from poverty and ensured peace and security for our kingdom.
(Pictured above, the Shrine at 24,582 feet below sea level)In other news, the Baron of Loch is pleased to announce that there has been a new breakthrough in harvesting Kora- or also known to the outside world as electric coral. This means that developments for military, housing and especially power are predicted to surge around 20-30% this quarter with military development predicting to surge 20%. Healthcare will surge at around 10-15, pending Kora distribution. Financial experts believe this will launch the Baron to being one of the top ten rich lords in the kingdom by the coming months, pulling him from 27th to about 8th.  (Pictured above, one of the Baron's vessels transporting Kora as drones search for more deposits.)The Military training academy is pleased to announce that the 24th Shell Shock Trooper Legion of Virmire graduates today as many young men and women start their mandatory military service of six years- the Shell Shock Troopers are primarily land based, and are given special implants and suits to withstand the pressure changes from the depths to the surface. This legion will conduct patrols within the land based cities, and maintain the peace while guarding the coast lines from potential invaders. Remember- do not interfere with military/police business per ordinance 3327- they are there to protect the integrity of the Kingdom.
 (Pictured above- the 24th Shell Shock Legion during their graduation parade) The Military Institute of Technological Advancement announced a new line of up and coming guardians to be launched within 4 months, with a prototype to be launched in 2. This will be a heavy class guardian, standing at 32 meters with the title: Lancelot. This unit will be used to direct devastating attacks with other Guardians/Knights,to ensure protection from invaders.  (Pictured above, the Lancelot Guardian)It is rumored that the King will be holding a banquet soon to invite key world leaders he believes the kingdom would have a mutual benefit with soon, to show off the Kingdom's new land based Castle- Cape Ivory, with a possible tour of the sea based castle at 20,000 feet below the surface- the first time a land sided individual would walk the royal halls of one of our most treasured buildings and relics. This has not been confirmed, but our sources indicate it is a strong possibility.

The Nauticus HeraldBREAKING NEWSFIEF OF LOCH MAKES LARGE STRIDES IN TRANSPORT OF KORA Earlier this quarter, it was reported that the Baron of Loch was making great strides in harvesting Kora- the Electric Coral capable of producing large amounts of electricity. The Fief has now reported that they have revolutionized their transport and storage services, and prepare to haul Kora all across the kingdom! Tensions rise among the other Barons and Lords as they worry the Great King Nemo may show favoritism and bias towards the Baron after granting him an additional 40% in funding towards Loch's military, including the gift of 2 guardians- both at 20 meters tall. This is what the Duke of Dechko had to say:
"While I'll never bad mouth the King's judgement, I do find it odd that he would grant 2 guardians and military funding for the Baron based solely on the fact that the production of Kora is going well... I mean, I am glad we are prospering... but this has dangerous implications of giving too much power to one man."
We reached out to the royal spokesperson with this question- who is keeping the Baron in check? They reported that the King had several plans in place to ensure nothing of the sort would happen- and all that is possible to be done to ensure peace and prosperity for our great kingdom. In fact, the King, Baron Loch, and the Kings closest friend and strongest ally- the Duke of Lanway met at a round table assembly to discuss the distribution of Kora- and the possibility of selling Kora supplies to potential allies.
MILITARY MOVEMENT CONFIRMED AS THE KRAKEN ARMADA LEAVES THE DUCHY OF LANWAY TOWARDS THE FIEF OF LOCH
 (Pictured above- Duke Of Lanway's Army mobilizing)The Kraken Armada is confirmed to be relocating to the Fief of Loch for security, both above and below the depths to deter any others from attempting to take the Kingdom's spoils. Along with this, 4 legions of Shell Shock Troopers have been deployed throughout the surface of the kingdom to ensure Order, while the activation of the 7th Guardian Knights to keep an overall look on national security. These Guardians are Ser Thomas of Loch, Ser Livia of Lanway, Ser Jensen of Lanway, Ser John of Kenway, and Ser Percival of Cape Ivory.Banquet Confirmed by Royal Court- To start in 3 weeks. World Leaders invited to Attend
The Royal Court has confirmed its invitation to National leaders to attend the first Banquet- it is rumored the King is seeking Allies and potential clients of the vast amounts of Kora recently discovered. This Banquet will also be used as a teaching opportunity to share the vast history of the Kingdom of Nauticus, leaders are advised to sign for the Banquet through the Court's Communication Line.

BREAKING NEWS
3 Eunuch Class Submarines Return after Diplomatic Mission
 (Pictured above- one of the Captain's of the Eunuch class subs)
At approximately 4am yesterday morning, the Royal court ordered Sub Group 458 Delta to dispatch 6 Eunuch class submarines- which are only used for diplomatic missions to suspected future allies around the world without escort, something unheard of typically. When asked, the Royal Court stated that these subs were deployed with the hopes of inviting key nations the King has his eye on. It should be noted about 8 hours after the deployment that a cargo submarine from the Fief Of Loch launched as well, seeming to be heading to the coast of Voxmire. The cargo at this time is unknown, but the submarine has since returned along with three of the Eunuch class subs. The Baron has not come forward with a statement.
BARON OF KENWAY BEGINS MILITARY DRILLS WITH 451ST HEAVY BATTALION
 (Pictured above, 451st Heavy Battalion Mechs marching along the coast)
The Fief of Kenway has begun mobilizing to practice military drills on the coastline, practicing breaching from the water to land. This battalion is comprised of all terrain mechas equipped with Kora powered weaponry. Could this possibly be the Baron of Kenway reminding the King that Loch is not the only contender for competent leaders? Or is he simply reminding potential invaders that the unified Kingdom of Nauticus is not to be trifled with? It is also rumored that the Fiefs of Kenway and Loch will be competing in the annual jousting tournament later this month- perhaps Kenway is trying to show Loch it means business as well.
KORA PRODUCTION AT AN ALL TIME HIGH, POWER SURPLUS NEARING 142%
 (Pictured above, researchers studying Kora in a sealed water tank)
The Fief of Loch report that sales are at an all time high with various Fiefs, Duchies and keeps are purchasing and utilizing Kora by the ton. Weaponry development has surged drastically as Kora is found to have quite devestating abilities in eradicating targets, as well as being a very efficient fuel source. Vehicles not already using Kora are now being converted to Kora based engines throughout the Kingdom, and security around the Baron of Loch is tightened in order to safe guard the resource. The Royal Court predicts that Kora will be one of the most sought after resources in the coming years, and plan to expand in order to find more veins of Kora forests down below.

The Nauticus HeraldBREAKING NEWS
LARGE SUBMARINE TRANSPORT FLEET ACTIVATED FROM
FIEF OF LOCK
Excited whispers and cheers echo through the halls and keeps in the Kingdom as 130,000 citizens are deployed in transport fleets Omega and Zuul complete with armed escort. It is rumored that these fleets will be visiting two countries that the Royal Court is highly interested in. The cargo being transported is rumored to be large amounts of Kora, but Officials of the Court have not confirmed this at this time. We are told these fleets will be deployed for a quite a while, and will be diving at depths of below 30-50,000 feet to maintain stealth coverage. Is the King planning some type of parlay with another country? Did the Court suggest this? Or is the Baron of Loch bending the King's ear to further extend his grasp on the court? OVER 3/4ths OF THE KINGDOM HAVE COMPLETED THE ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE
(Shown above, a high priest of the Shrine) Due to official reports from the church of the Deep, it is confirmed via the Royal Registry that 3/4ths of the overall population of the Kingdom have made the annual pilgrimage to pledge their allegiance and thanks to the former kings and the depths for their guidance and bounty. Remember, it is paramount that the pilgrimage be made in order to retain all luxuries and rights within the Kingdom's walls. Transport, sheltering and food are provided for pilgrimages to the Shrine of the Deep. There is no excuse not to make this trip, and those who fail or protest the pilgrimage will be expelled from the Kingdom.

(Pictured above, Transport Fleet Zuul resurfacing- taken from Sub Aurora)
Transport fleets Omega and Zuul have finally resurfaced after their journey, reports state that Transport Fleet Omega has resurfaced a portion of its fleet around the coast of Voxmire. Royal court officials state they are currently awaiting word from Voxmire envoys, and are stationing the large fleet outside of the Voxmire waters for 4 days until the fleet is ordered to return. Transport Fleet Zuul has reportedly resurfaced off of the coast of the Federation of Sapphirian Isles, also currently awaiting envoys just outside of their border. The Royal Court has not made their intentions clear on what exactly they have in mind for both of these transport fleets, as the nation curiously awaits another release.
GROUP OF PRANKSTERS ACCIDENTALLY SET FIRE TO LOCAL PORT (Pictured above- firefighters at the port containing the flames)
A group of six teenagers were reportedly playing around with a flammable chemical called "floof" on the underbelly criminal world. These teenagers were reportedly trying to prank citizens for their private media channels, stating they were unaware of the danger of said chemical. As a result of one of these "pranks" an inferno was caused in the 48th district of Cape Decimus, catching 38% of the dock on fire. The teenagers are currently in state custody, with many cause to brand them as terrorist. After tomorrow meeting of the Royal Court, their fate will be decided. Current public opinion is to label them as heretics to the kingdom and terrorist, while some say they are innocent children who need to be forgiven. Whether the truth be, their fate lies within the hands of our capable King.
KING RUMORED TO HAVE BEEN SEEN WITH A COMMONER
Rumors begin to spiral as a possible sighting of the King walking the beaches in his ceremonial armor with whom is believed to be a commoner. The individual is reportedly not known with the Royal Court, and the King has made no statements in regards to having "romantic interests." If the King is possibly taking a Queen, this would be the first Queen in the Kingdom's history. Who is this mystery woman? Where is she from? How did she get the King's attention? The Nauticus Herald, will keep you informed.

Large Movement of Troops from Royal Shipyard
to Duchy of Dechko
(Picture Shown above, Underwater Shock Trooper preparing for transport)
At 6am this morning, the Duke of Lanway ordered the 20th and 43rd Shock Trooper legions to move on the Duchy of Dechko. It was confirmed by the Royal Court that at least one Guardian was dispatched with the two legions, but it was not stated who the knight was. Travel to and from the Duchy of Dechko is currently prohibited, as the military establishes checkpoints to and from the area. Currently, no statements have been given from the Dechko family which would be mitigated through the Royal Court. A few days ago, the Duke of Dechko stated that he was not fond of the military funding granted to the Baron of Loch to protect the Kora mining area. This was a direct insult to the king as one can infer, or could the Duke of Duchy be planning something? Regardless- thank the Depths that Royal Military forces are able to stomp out, or investigate at the very least possible incursions of insurrection.
LARGE MOVEMENT OF KORA, GUARDIAN PARTSAND MUNITIONS FROM THE MIDLANDS TO COAST (Pictured above, the 83rd Transport Convoy of Loch transporting goods and weapons through the midland swamps) Citizens noticed large amounts of military vehicles driving through towns this morning, seeming to transport a large amount of goods. When the Herald asked the Royal Court on this matter, they stated that several plans were being set in motion as the kingdom prepares for a possible large amount exports of Kora in the coming days. When asked about the Guardian parts that were also seen during the move, they declined to comment. It should be noted, this convoy is under the command of the Fief Of Loch- the same one who currently is protecting the supplies of Kora, so no worry should befall on the common citizen.
NEW FLEET IN CONSTRUCTION POSSIBLY NEW VESSEL CLASSES? (Pictured above, an unidentified Baron overseeing the Royal Shipyard)
The Royal Court has confirmed that new Military equipment has been developed by the Institute of Military Advancement thanks to the new vein of Kora discovered this year. They are planning on developing vessels that will help ensure peace, security and prosperity to the Kingdom. These vessels will be 4 times bigger, but use only double the power of typical Nautican vessels. The type of technology could possibly begin a new era for the Kingdom, launching us into a new renaissance.
