Autumn of the Year 2718

As the nights draw in, and the cold wind once more begins to whistle across Alria, great changes come to the land. The Darkness grows even stronger, pushing the nations that face them to the brink of destruction. New nations rise from the ashes of the old, but whether these civilizations will ever survive is a question that none can answer as the Shadow pushes yet further into Alria.

Still recovering from the bloody war raged in the recent months, New Engelica rebuilds it's armies in preparation for the inevitable coming conflict as the Darkness continues to move silently towards them through the waters to the north. New magics are discovered as the proud nation of Magi braces itself.

United by the new steel tracks that criss-cross the nation, Tushienia pour their newly returned armies into holding back the Darkness to the East, bolstering the defenses of their own Province as well as that of their allies. Foul nightmares drag themselves from the shadows to the east and hurl themselves against the defenders, and yet they stand strong. For now.

The Broken Empire allows itself to rest, it's armies, still fresh from crushing Limgar, embarks from the trains of the Empire and masses at the borders of the Lagosami Tribes, or rather what was the tribes. For the Tribes, broken by their defeats at the hands of Bripiak, the Broken Empire, the Kingdom of Zakol and the Darkness itself, can no longer remain united.

Facing the Darkness for the first time, the Kingdom of Zakol's navy is hit hard by nightmares from the depths. Even as they must continue to fight on the water, to their south, the Lagosami Tribes split in two, weakening them even further as the sickness of the Darkness continues to push across Alria.

Shown the true danger of the Shadow for the first time, the Republic of Andinon loses it's grip on it's southernmost province, and it takes an overwhelming force of Magi that drives the Darkness back from their land. The very ground seems to be sickened by the Shadow, and the Republic has learnt not to underestimate the threat in the east.

Pankra realizing the true threat, coming from the depths to the west, brace themselves for the oncoming Darkness that will no doubt crash against the nation's defenses come the winter.

The Confederacy of Sawl falls silent even as the Shadow closes in on them.

Rising from the ashes of Kebriw, the Republic of Outcasts sends messengers to their neighbors, no doubt bracing itself for the coming threat.

Many mages had received their Spirit Tree sapling. Most planted it near their houses. The Spirit Trees swiftly grew in size. Turning into weird shapes with hollow points and holes in it. It absorbed the oozing magic from the talented War-Magi. Feeding from that unused power, magic essence flowed through its branches into the leaves. This served as a beacon for kind spirits who decided to make the Spirit Tree their home. Small lights could be seen within the hollow points of the Trees. Spirits dwelling within, feeding of the magic from the tree. Most of the tree grew wild and irregular. But some branches were straight and strong. In due time they would be ready to cut off. And from them, the music instruments needed to communicate with the spirits would be made.

In the meantime, everywhere where there are New Engelican War-Magi, spirits awaken. In the water strange, blue-glowing fishes are swimming. In hearths strange red salamanders are seen just sitting in the flames. In the air sometimes small, yellow-glowing birds appeared out of no-where and in the forests, green-glowing squirrels are seen jumping from tree to tree. Any attempt to capture these creatures is met with failure. Once within a net, the simply dissolve into nothingness. Studying them seems impossible, but these spirits seem to be very fond of War-Magi.

The council of War-Magi had heard the request from the Dwarven Forgelord Mylori. A fairly younger dwarf than the first one who appeared within Al’Gruin. The council was not fond of Mylori’s request. Having already marched with them in 2 wars, now seemed hardly the best time to march onwards to another. By bird the still traveling Ruin King had received word of the request and agreed with his War-Magi that the armies of Engelica were in no shape to fight against another opponent. The maximum they could afford was sending out several Magi as support. Healing up the Broken Empire’s wounded soldiers and cast artillery spells far behind the frontlines. This was then explained to Mylori.

Province 19
The land is warped and polluted. Some question whether its even worth holding. But it is. Just to keep the darkness from having it. Every inch of land they own is more breeding grounds for them, more armies constantly being created. It was lucky they were able to get here as fast as they did. There was no telling how long it would take the land to heal. If this was what the darkness did in such a short period of time, it must be dreadful the conditions of those lands they'd held for over a year. Still, if this was to be won they would probably have to erase the darkness from this continent.

Province 13
Earth magic has become standardized throughout the kingdom, not to the level of proficiency some nations show, but certainly enough to be helpful in easing the creation of barricades and playing tricks with the enemy. Tinkers are working on the rifles they received, claiming they can make it smaller given time. Alleviate the long reload time by allowing those on hareback to use them, firing and retreating. An invention that would make the prefers tactics of the light cavalry more effective, as well as less dangerous to themselves. They boasted that once these were perfected they could take the fight to the darkness instead of simply holding ground. Whether it was true or not, it was an exciting prospect.

Province 69
The Republics forces were gathering en masse to fight the coming darkness. The navy was as prepared as it could be, the army was setting up defensive positions to repel enemies. But would it be enough? Nobody knew for certain. The odds were against them, and they've received no word from any nearby nation. The navy shall defend the coasts and try and destroy as many invader ships as possible to help the armies odds of winning, while the airforce will provide what support it can. The odds were against them, but they'd be damned if they went quietly.

Pareth paced back and forth. The Darkness was coming. Could the Dead Legion defeat it? Surely hordes of undead warriors backed by an elite core could hold off whatever was coming? He hoped so. The problem with the undead was that they decayed so the Order of Dark Secrets had to keep raising new ones when the old decayed. Ah well, soon the mettle of the beasts would be tested. In the meantime, he could only prepare.

Province 7

After almost a full year of holding back the ever evolving tide of dark monsters that had been pouring in from the East, Autumn had finally brought a much needed reprieve in the form of reinforcements. With their somewhat tattered ranks not only restored but swelling beyond the numbers that they had come to the province it, the veterans of Province 7 finally had the ability to go on leave so that they might rest and recover from the nearly year long ordeal.

The signs of their last, despite defense of the Province in order to buy themselves, Tushienia and the rest of the world more time still burned several months later; In front of the first line of defense stood the still burning swampland that the defenders had created, pouring oil, tar and even using earth magic to move coal deposits and funnel gas pockets to it to ensure that when they lit it up with fire magic, it would stay burning for a very, very long time.

A time that they themselves were cutting short.

With the influx of new troops and the ability to rebuild and redesign the various lines of defensive without being harried, the fire wall had served its purpose of stalling the enemy advance in the north; If they left it up, the dark monsters of the east would simply head south and go around them, overwhelming one of the southern provinces. Better to cut the fire off from its fuel and let it mostly burn out to divert darkness forces into a nation that was entrenched and ready to face them instead of overwhelming a battered one.

It might take until the winter snows set in for the fire to die down enough for the darkness to begin assaulting them new, but they would be ready for them.

....................................

There was an old saying in Tushienia: 'If you understand yourself and the enemy, you will be the victor even after one hundred battles. If you understand yourself but not the enemy, for every victory you achieve you will also suffer a defeat. If you neither understand yourself or the enemy, you will succumb in every battle.'

Tushienia had been fortunate when it came to the battles with the Darkness; While it had been an unknown foe and good solders had died due to it's evolving tactics and units, not an inch of Tushienia's territory or that of her allies had been lost to it yet despite its best efforts. The bodies of the foul, unliving creatures were torn apart in order to be studied, patterns starting to emerge in their design that could be exploited in order to bring about their swift ends while the nature of their design was discussed and debated openly in coffee shops and universities across the nation.

What had once been an unknown foe had been dragged out of the shadows and into the light; They were still a threat, but the fear and horrible awe that the creatures relied upon to break resistance was no longer present in Tushienia. The unknown enemy had been made known to all and it could be killed.

Tavirin hadn’t believed the first breathless messenger that had told of the Lagosami tribes dividing, their leadership crumbling under heavy defeats. But reports had flooded in, and Tavirin had wasted no time in gathering his generals around him to properly assess the situation.

With the bloodthirsty leader of the Lagosami tribes, that had been driving his people to war, butchered by his own soldiers, Tavirin changed his grand plans. Now, the tribes were not the unwieldly threat they once were, now they were a formidable force that could be used against the ever encroaching Darkness.

Quickly sending a messenger to the leaders of the Dolarti tribe, it wasn’t long before Tavirin once again found himself deep in talks with a great nation’s leaders. Guttural and coarse, the tribe chiefs were a world away from the eloquent speech of New Engelica, but Tavirin had been on countless diplomatic missions, and he quickly adapted to their language. Soon, battle lines were drawn, as the tribes agreed to pull back their forces in the face of the Darkness, forming a strong defence even as Bripiak also led its soldiers to the new front quickly being formed.

Hakurei (25), Capitol city of Zakol - Royal palace
Lord Claymont was not five minuets in his office before a line of servants began carrying papers & boxes in, Lord Rahmas appearing among them "Glad to have you back Claymont! i really don't like having to do both of our jobs", Claymont grinned "sorry for inconveniencing you". Rahmas took a seat igoreing the steady stream of servants coming & going "So you displeased with the princesses actions?" Claymont briefly looked away before he spoke "I don't understand her, i advised her of the political implications and... she ignored me, i viced my concerns at this alliances unity and again she..." Lord claymont took his seat as he continued "and the one time during that meeting i thought she was making a power-play, instead she was testing the how truly committed the new parties attending the talks were after the recent hostilities".

Rahmas looked puzzled "and be doing so we ended up with more allies in the north, & technology more specifically these gunpowder weapons?, i don't see... Ah! your upset because everyone's looking at the immediate threat while your worrying about politics after..." Claymont went silent as Rahmas continued "My friend, with how serve this invading threat is, we-no all of Alria will be lucky if we can survive it, worry about power struggles, alliances, & politics after the threats been repelled!".

Claymont nodded "Not much to worry about in any case, the princess will simply go back to the way Zakol was before and make the kingdom a neutral center of trade..." Rahmas laughed as he got up from his chair "What would you have her do? go on a conquest to conquer all of Alria and establish her own empire?, are you sure your not missing your old homelands politics?". Claymont gave a glare that could of killed at that last remark "I am a citizen of Zakol, and forever will be! i'll never go b-" Rahmas waved his hand as he began to leave "It was a jest calm down friend".

Several minuets later...

High priestess Yotul barged into Claymonts office "Tushienia? leaders of the alliance?!, them unholy practitioners corrupting the laws of nature with unnatural magics?!" Claymont looked up from his current stack of papers "...The princess seemed happy with the result perhaps take the matter up with her?" he paused recalling something some months back "Wait, that's right!, that ambassador from Tushienia asked how you where... his name was Nuyor?" Claymont almost lept out of his chair when Priestess Yotul slammed her fists onto his desk "Don't mention his name to me again we was a friend and a very talented magi before he started messing them evil forbidden magics, he is long dead as far as i am-" Claymont looked puzzled before recalling the bony hooded figure he met with "his sons seemed human enough?".

Before Claymont had realised it he was in the room himself as he finished speaking Priestess Yotul having left after saying her piece, curious Claymont wrote an order to one of his agents "Find any information on priestess Yotul & past acquaintances" Claymont field it deeply curious on how the two knew each-other in the past, he was caught by surprise when one of his Ogre guards spoke up having been leaning over his shoulder when he'd been writing "She wasn't always the high priestess you know, she was originally a magi acolyte at the temple herself once upon a time, and traveled Alria in her youth, word is she even went beyond Alrias boarders further west".

Claymont turned to look at the wall of armor standing behind him "oh?, and how long have you known her?" The Ogre removed his helmet revealing a rather Elderly Ogre that seemed almost as old as General Grumret, "My baby sister? all of her life!" The ogre smiled as he put his helmet back on "Word of advice sir, don't pry into a womens history without their consent it doesn't end well when they find out..." The Ogre saluted and returned to his position at the back wall of the office opposite the other guard. Claymont only uttering the words "good advice" before he shredded the outgoing order.

Kirt Province (16) - Military camp Hq
"Father!" a young looking Ogre officer yelled running over towards General Mokur and handing his papers over "Reporting in sir!" he spoke eagerly snapping a sharp salute, Volaq Mokur stood there surprised for a moment "You graduated the acad-" The young officer burst with pride "Yes father with flying colors too, i told you i'd make the family proud!, and i got posted here with the new recruits to help recuperate the some of the losses". General Mokur sighed deeply "Larek..." he looked at his kid "...just go have the new recruits parade for inspection i will be there shortly".

Mokurs second in command the ever dutiful War-Magi smiled "want me to see if we can get him trans-" Mokur shook his head "no i wont have favoritism or anything going on, he's doing his duty as we all are for Zakol". The War-Magi nodded quietly "in that case we should assign him to the routine patrols to start building his experience". Mokur nodded "a good simple start, that'll be fine, also make sure everyones prepared to move at a moments notice in case we have to reinforce our allies, now imma go see to the new replacements that have arrived". The general walked out of the command tent lost in thought, Leaving his second in command to make the arrangements & preparations.

Winter of the Year 2718

The winter not only brings the biting cold, but it brings things far worse. Nightmarish creatures close in on the flickering lights of resistance from all directions. Soon, there will be none who have not faced the true horror of the Darkness. The approaching shadows has united nations under a common banner, but distrust runs rife as whispers of creeping darkness spread across the nations. Whether Alria will withstand against the Darkness, may well be decided before the snows next fall.

Continuing to raise their strength, New Engelica once more rides to aid their Dwarven allies of the Broken Empire, though now only sending a handful Magi and War-Magi to the front line against the encroaching Darkness, to act as healers and provide what support they can. The elves are all too weary of the shadow now creeping across the waters towards them from the north.

Their lands still protected by the burning mire, Tushienia enjoys a respite, however brief, from the forces of the Darkness. Learning what they could of their foe, new research emerged of ways to combat the foul creatures that would no doubt come once more with the frost. For now the line had held, but for how much longer could it hope to do so?

Finding the new tribe leaders far more welcoming than those who came before them, plans are drawn out by the Broken Empire as the Dolarti Tribe fall back in their masses in the face of the Darkness. As the front line continues to fall back, the Dwarves and Orcs of the Empire will no doubt face the true might of the Darkness itself as the first snows begin to fall.

The Kingdom of Zakol, still reeling somewhat from the negotiations of the newly forged alliance, prepare their fleets once more for the nightmarish creatures from the depths. As the waters began to freeze, the proud sailors of the great nation know that even their darkest dreams will not match the horrors they face in the coming months.

Gathering all the knowledge it could, the Republic of Andinon did what it could to brace itself for the inevitable assault of the Darkness as the nights continue to lengthen, and nothing but the cold winter sun brings any light to the land. Having already suffered defeat at the hands of the shadow, how much longer can the soldiers of the Republic to defend their lands.

Pankra once more prepared itself for the Darkness attacks that did not come. The waters were eerily silent as the undead stood motionless, empty eyes cast out across the waves as the Magi controlling them shivered, not from the biting cold, but instead from the sense of dread as dark shapes moved beneath the water.

The newly forged Republic of Outcasts also braced itself for the coming Darkness, whispers of hideous creatures passed like wildfire through the nation, despite any attempts to quell the paranoia. Soon the stories had reached outlandish levels, and the defenders doubted that any such monsters could possibly exist. They would soon be proven wrong.

Proving itself a powerful nation in its own right for the first time, Orngat, perhaps shaken from it's idleness by the approaching Darkness to the north, prepare to impose themselves for the first time.

Not that long ago, the Holy Lands fought a single but very harsh battle against New Engelica. The feats performed their formed the first legend of New Engelica. Eléane got her nickname ‘godslayer’ there. It was also the first showcase of how important mages were and could be within a battle. Now however, peace rules the land. The only sign of the battle is the magical scare in the ground. The people were initially afraid of the mages and their civil services. But they swiftly saw that it was very profitable to only let it rain when you wanted it to. Cultural change swept the country. And now, for the first time again, a youngling gifted in magic can step forward and graduate to a status that recognizes his talent.

The king received Orngat’s dwarf himself. He himself nearly commanded all mages to march for Orngat to defend it with their lives. But Eléane ushered him not to. Instead she would lead a single group to fortify one province. Through unity, they would be more successful and powerful against this mysterious ‘Darkness’. The dwarven envoy agreed to this, and requested the strengthening of the nearest province relative to the approaching Darkness. And thus 400 magi, accompanied by 15 war-magi marched towards Orngat. Lead by Eléane herself. But unbeknown to her father, she gave another order. 100 magi and 3 war-magi had the explicit orders to defend them. Through the weaving of shields or keeping their familiars close by. The others were given the orders not to take risks what so ever. Eléane wanted no casualties among the mages of New Engelica.

Mylori greeted his fellow Dwarf with open arms, listening gravely as he heard of the nation's cry for re-enforcement. Gritting his teeth as he look east, where he knew Tavirin already led a fierce defense against the Darkness, he knew that this was a decision that would require all the leaders of the Broken Empire.

And so, many nights later, Mylori finally walked from the meeting chambers and called out to the Hammerbearer already at his shoulder. Issuing quick orders, he prepared the Empire for it's next steps. Tavirin would return to Eastern Front, and a large force would turn back and move as quickly as possible back towards the Northern Front. Mylori would lead the handful of forces already close by, while the Warlocks would prepare and move as they saw fit to weak areas.

Nuyor the Doctor and Rodrim Payne sat in their respective chairs in the Council Chambers alone, taking a moment to just sit down and relax for a moment before they started to look through the numerous reports and paperwork that had been piled up on the tables before them; While normally the Council would use their own private offices for such things many of the issues that the reports spoke off would require the attention of the Council in order to be dealt with; Tork had briefly left in order to arrange transportation for the Andinon engineers that would be arriving in Tushienia to instruct Ponder's and his underlings how to apply their knowledge of controlled flight in a practical way, finally providing Tushienia with the ground work for an air force.

They hadn't even built their first airship yet and Ponder's was already making plans to work out how to build them so that they could be armed with cannons.

Vaewith the Renovator had also briefly left in order to give a speech to inspire the population; The announcement that Tushienia was currently at the head of the so called 'Alliance of Northern Nations' last month had filled their nation with pride, but the announce that two more nations had both signed up was predicted to raise moral to brand new heights.

Uzereda Nightshade had simply gone off to get a cup of coffee and something to eat for himself and the two liches while the other two members of the Council were out. While they were long past the need to eat in order to maintain themselves, sometimes a tasty little treat was more then welcomed.

Turning to his ally for over two centuries, Rodrim Payne would have legitimately smiled if his face wasn't already fixed in that position due to being a skull. "Nuyor, did you ever think that we would be here back when we first met all those years ago?"

Nuyor turned to look at Rodrim, his gaze thoughtful for a moment before he answered "Truthfully? No. Back when we founded Tushienia I believed the most likely outcomes to have either been our destruction by outside forces or us taking over northern Alria and establishing an Empire. I confess that if it wasn't for the seemingly endless tide of monsters coming in from the East, odds are that we would have been the unstoppable army that everyone was gathering together to combat."

Rodrim couldn't help but chuckle a little at that. "True enough. It's strange how somethings turn out sometimes; Now all we need to do is win this war and all those narrow minded fools who cast us out because we practiced Necromancy will be forced to sing our praises. "

There was silence for a moment as both liches thought about this mental image; Uzereda returned to find them both laughing hysterically.

Province 19
The darkness was throwing more and more impressive forces against Andinon. But Andinon was adapting even as the darkness did. The first Arquebuses had arrived and were going to be put to use against the next wave. The monstrous beings that had been sent had torn into the skeletons amassed against them, but their false hearts had been revealed to be a weakness and they had been smashed by bolt after bolt from the heavy ballista. Contrary to the darkness's hopes Andinon was learning how to fight them, to combat the darkness, both physically and mentally. With the help of Tushienia of course.

Province 6
It had been a bloodbath, though most of the forces that had fought didn't even properly bleed. The skeleton vanguard had been smashed apart by the large enemy forces, but they'd taken a ferocious toll, biting into shadowy flesh as they'd fallen. Once again Andinon was thankfully for the necromancy that served them so well in fighting these monsters. Though some might call it dark magic and unwarranted, it was certainly serving Andinon well enough. Still, they'd lost a great deal of their infantry and aid from the other nations would be of great use. As proud as Andinon was, even they realized they couldn't stand alone.

Spring of 2719

There are few who can recall the gentle breeze and flowering beauty of spring, now the season brings only more death and chaos to Alria, once beautiful nations now stained with corruption and evil, the stench of it seeping all across the continent. Even those who still stand against the shadow must force their people to war, tearing down proud forests so as to fuel the fires of their forges. Whether Alria withstands or not, the price will be unbearably high on those few that survive.

Answering the desperate calls of their allies to the North, New Engelica marches to war once more. Leading the Magi of the proud nation, beings who were already slipping into legends, the Princess Eléane prepared to defend the province that would no doubt bear the brunt of the Darkness come the spring. They would surely be tested, facing the true shadow for the first time in open battle. Even their darkest nightmares would not prepare them.

The newly forged Alliance already growing in size, with the island nations too falling under Tushienia. The nation of Necromancers, scorned in years gone past, are now the figurehead of resistance against the darkness to the east. As the nightmares once more remain in the shadows, not showing their faces to the defenders of Tushienia, the soldiers can only wait, and brace themselves for what will inevitably assail them.

Also marching to the aid of Orngat, the Broken Empire pulls back a fraction of it's massed army on the eastern front with the Darkness and rushes back towards where the shadow now approaches from the north. Orc's continue to be trained in the ways of black magic, frighteningly powerful Magi with eyes as black as their souls, the proud Dwarven nation is becoming something more altogether.

With their fleets beginning to seriously struggle against the shadow in the waters, it seems inevitable that the line will eventually break, leaving the Darkness to hurl themselves against the flanks of the newly formed Alliance of the North. Still waiting motionless within their walled cities and towns, the armies of the Kingdom of Zakol simply wait and watch as the torches flicker.

Bolstered with new knowledge from their allies, the Republic of Andinon beats back the shadow once more. Time and time again, the Gnome's magics have allowed them to weather the ferocious assault of nightmares, and now as the alliance grows in strength, there are perhaps a glimmer of hope. And yet, there is no time to dwell on hope, as the Darkness comes again.

As Pankra waited, sending messengers far across the sea to the east and joining in arms with the newly formed Alliance of the North, the Darkness swept forward to the north, slaughtering what resistance there was from the Confederacy of Sawl and gaining a foothold in the islands. As their allies in the islands begin to suffer, the shifting shadows in the water begin to grow even more ominous.

Also adding it's pledge to the Northern Alliance, the Republic of Outcasts continues to brace itself, although it's forges fall silent.

Responding to the dread silently moving through the waters towards them, Orngat sends requests of aid to it's neighbors, and receives promises of soldiers and magic coming to their aid. Proud Magi, Elves from the south, soon arrive in their grand cities, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dwarves as the Darkness closes in. Soon the Order will be truly tested.

The defences were set. The troops were ready and the weapons loaded. Everyone was as ready as they could be for what was to come. In order for the enemy to attack them, they'd have to use ships to cross the water. The Navy would engage their ships and sink as many troop transports as possible, while the Airforce would provide support to the Army and target they heavier troops. The plan was to keep them pinned on the beach and take them down piece by piece. Nobody was sure if they would succeed, but it was the best plan they had. May the Gods help them to victory.

All over Tushienia

Across the various provinces of Tushienia, war time industry was building up steam in order to get into full swing; Several factories in each nation had been set up so that the parts for the first of the nations dirigibles could be constructed and rolled out into the nations air fields. Meanwhile ogres and humans from Zakol were busy with the task of leading the efforts to construct shipyards all across the coast of the nation, allowing Tushienia to -finally- be able to commit itself to a war on land, air or sea. Considering the nature of the Darkness, all three were going to be required.

Along the eastern front with the Darkness Tushienia troops were digging in alongside their allies, proving their worth by strengthening the positions of their allies and turning the darkness away assault after assault. While everyone knew that something was going to have to change sooner or later, for the time being moral was high and hopes for a better future was commonplace among the troops.

All they needed to do was hold the line until a means of ending the war presented itself.

Province 6
Everyday more troops came in, yet the darkness had strengthened with every assault. Still, Andinon would hold as it always had. Something would be figured out to beat back these monsters once and for all. Every nation on the continent and then some was working on defeating this darkness. A lich was said to be the source of it all. However it was doubtless impossible to attack him, no wise commander would venture to the front lines when he had thousands of expendable soldiers to do it for him.

Province 15
