The '''SS ''Steja djal Scipia''''' was a [[Tyreseia|Tyreseian]] {{wp|ocean liner}} that caught fire and ran aground in the late evening hours of August 17th, 1938, en route from [[Leonople]], [[Perateia]] to [[New Tyria]], [[Tyreseia]] via [[Pelias]], [[Vardana]]. Of the 941 passengers and crew aboard, 472 perished, making the fire the worst maritime disaster in Tyreseian history up to that point. Despite being manufactured as a tourism-based passenger vessel, the ''Steja djal Scipia'' was almost immediately pressed into service as an emigrant liner as a result of civil conflict and ethnic tension along her route. The vessel gained a reputation for dedication to reliably transporting ethnic Perateians and other refugees away from Vardana to safety in Perateia or Tyreseia. Along with this reputation came a series of dubiously-safe modifications to increase passenger capacity. Such modifications likely greatly endangered the ship, turning her into a floating matchbox. While on a routine voyage back to New Tyria, the ''Steja djal Scipia'' caught alight off the city of Oñulba on the night of August 17, 1938, with the loss of over half of her passengers and crew thanks to mass confusion, poor modifications, years of neglect and faults in her original design.

Artemis (c. 2022) is the pet cat of the twin princesses Isabella and Valentia of Dakmoor, daughters of Martin, Crown Prince of Dakmoor and Maria of Latium. Nicknamed the First Cat of Dakar, Artemis is an adopted stray male black cat, though the princesses insist that he’s an “outdoors cat” and therefore does not make public appearances with either the princesses or the royal family of Dakmoor. Due to this, Artemis has attracted a great deal of public interest on account of his mysterious nature, and is referred to as the “First Cat of Dakar”. Reporters and royal family watchers occasionally trespass into the old town district of Dakar in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Artemis, of which few photographs are known to exist. Occasionally, the princesses will take pictures with the cat for promotional purposes. As a result of the cat’s close association with the princesses, he is often seen as an “unofficial” mascot of the Dakmooran Royal Family. (See more...)
