| “ | Once a great trade route north to eastern Nicnevin before the Breaking, Morgen’s Crossing was one of the first strongholds stormed by early Mesean incursions north. Áed Mercy, long rumoured to be the bastard of Dermot Callahan and illegitimate grandson of Carden Callahan, was taken prisoner in the ensuing assault. Áed was never seen again, nor his body recovered. His disappearance remains shrouded in controversy. Speculation abounds that, upon learning the truth of his lineage, Áed, poisoned by the Legion’s influence, took up arms against his brethren. | „ |

Morgen's Crossing is a northeastern map with a large western sea that it shares with Weathered Expanse. The hex map was introduced in Update 0.46 ('Entrenched').
The map's Town Base that contributes to the World Conquest's "Victory Condition" is Allsight.

Deserter's Message
A weathered and well-used journal with a star carved into the cover.
The pages are full and heavy, with notes in the margins and a very broken spine, which suggests it’s been read many times. Reading the last pages, you get the impression this is just one of many journals and that it was not only intended to be found, but shared. Whoever wrote this seems to have gotten their wish, as it sits atop many copied pages. Given the wear and tear of the original, many have laid their eyes upon their words.
The final page keeps your attention.
This is where the journey ends, I’m afraid. But only for you, dear reader. Not for Morgan and I, no. By now we’ve gotten on our little boat, and found some island to call home.
When our daughter was born, it only reinforced our desire for safety and peace. There are things you will be told that will get you killed. Do not entrust your blood and bones in the hands of those who seek to make a puppet out of you. If given the chance, they will oblige, and do so without releasing the strings.
There are good folk who want nothing more than to build a new world, together; a new society, away from whistling bullets and deafening screams. They would take up the sickle and hoe before lifting a rifle ever again. They wish to hear the laughter of children and music on the wind. If these notions appeal to you, do not give into fear.
In spite of themselves, these puppeteers have used us to construct a society that preys upon the doubts of the many to serve at the whims of the few. Senators and Magisters are not standing on the front lines to hear the wet crunch of bones when stray fire finds their comrade’s skull. They are not having limbs removed and replaced just as fast so they can continue to march. When was the last time an Archon stood next to his troops?
Enclosed in these pages, I have transcribed all that I know. I am imperfect. I have likely made some mistakes, but trust that I came by it honestly, and I only seek to dispel the fog that has shrouded us all.
So please, look to the stars, and seek your peace.
If ever we should meet, I will welcome you in with open arms.

Nevish Alliance Notes
Nevish Alliance Notes
Among the pile of scraps marked with stars, is a clipboard with annotated documents.
It’s an excerpt from a document analysing various movements and politics of key members of the Nevish Alliance. You flip through, skimming the details.
…mainly the Archon, Fionn Mercy, who held a millennium celebration—a fair of all things—outside of the Fastness. This was, at best, childishly optimistic, and resulted in the largest riots the alliance had ever seen.
Prince Jarvi, Mercy’s childhood friend and Nevish commander-in-chief, egged on the celebration, even donating to its excess. Millennium or no, Mercy’s homeland is overrun by southern troops, and his soldiers go to war in his name, while he and his cohort drink and feast like unfettered royals.
This pair does not obey the tenets that the alliance was formed upon, and furthermore, catastrophic events such as these undermine the foothold we’ve gained in Caoiva and abroad. Our allies will be scrutinizing Mercy now, or worse, and the prince? He might well be the heir, but perhaps he hasn’t studied his histories closely enough.
This is all to say we must better guide this new generation, for I fear all will fall into chaos and history will repeat itself.
