This is among the most famous pictures ever taken of the royal couple in February of 533, less than an hour after their official coronation at the Serechav, which was at the time still under construction. An instant icon for post-war sentiment, the newly minted Angsiyii wears an expression that stands in sharp contrast to her husband's. Konrad exudes a boisterous confidence, shouting with a grin to some or other off-camera acquaintance. His wife, however, seems to display a different attitude. Clinging to the Angsiyan desperately, she reflects the more frenetic side of post-war Arda. Victory was something to be celebrated of course, but its realization carried with it fantastic responsibilities and the Angsiyii is clearly wondering if she is up to them. Like the rest of Arda, she found herself clinging to a vigorous personality, and she could only hope the Angsiyan could handle peace as well as he did war.
A Polonian power plant, ravaged by loyalist raids, continues to operate to the best of her ability. Damaged numerous times over the past weeks, the workers nonetheless insisted on its continued operation. This was the kind of stalwart determination that characterized the rebellion, especially in its early days. Although she was later destroyed, the plant stood as a symbol of resolution and purpose, galvanizing the province against Morgoth's hordes.
After only a few short months, Victor Althalon captured Polonia and expelled Morgoth's presence from the region entirely.
An unidentified marine is mobbed by his comrades, ecstatic in victory aboard Morgoth's flagship Skyfurnace, the Gothmog. The battle for the Gothmog was as or more important than any campaign against a city or province, as the Furnaces were obvious and vital weapons for use against Morgoth's Uruk hordes. They were defended with great vigor--especially the Gothmog, but all were either captured or destroyed.

Sitting down before the little cam, Naiya adjusts the angle, then settles in. She looks a bit breathless and worn down, but enthusiastic all the same. It's dark wherever she is, and she keeps her voice low, though not quite in a stealthy sort of way. Throughout, she speaks in their native tongue, rapidly, fluidly, energetically sharing and at the same time trying to reassure her mother.
"I hope all has been well, though you've been overloaded with things once again, no doubt. Its always the same, whenever we've gone away, and you always throw yourself into it with full force as soon as we return, so I expect nothing different this time. Do remember to eat properly so we don't have to call Aunty Shodey, and don't give Dom lip about it when he worries, please?"
"And now to the point. No, I didn't think I could keep this a secret, yes I did think it through rather carefully before I made the decision, yes I can do this, and yes, I am doing just fine. I knew it would be hard, just maybe not quite as hard as it turns out to be. I've developed a whole new appreciation for our military, not to mention the Ardans."
"I would really like you to rethink your hesitancy on my own term of service, Mama. Think back over the past, and remember how many times the loyalty of the military has been a key factor in your success. If I'm to rule at some point in the future, I think I would be better accepted having at least put in my time same as everyone else. That, or we change the system entirely, and still run the risk of alienating some of the older, traditionalist members."
"In any case, something to think about while you plot how to properly punish me for deliberately going behind your back, and taking advantage of the situation here in doing so. Don't think too harshly of the Angsiyan, Mama. He and Nadia both didn't like the idea of keeping anything from you, and I rather suspect they've already managed to alert you by now. I don't think Nadia approved of this particular choice at all, but there you have it. I intend to see it through, and nothing short of you coming out here to find me and physically drag me back home is going to change my mind. Not that you should consider that a challenge."
"Please, Mama. There are some things one can study yet never understand. This isn't just a game to me. It isn't just something to do while I'm here. And I'm not just trying to look tough to live up to some vague image of what I should or shouldn't be in anyone else's eyes. This is something I want to do. It's something I need to do, for myself. Don't worry, I'm fine. Really. All the same, morning comes early, so I'd best turn in. My love to you, and Marcus, and everyone there at the villa. Don't forget, Shaitan likes those apples, and someone needs to take him out for his exercise. I'll be in touch again soon."
And with that, the young woman reaches up and cuts the feed, the picture fading to black, and the clip ending.
