Spring of 2720

As the frosty chill retreats back from Alria, a deathly silent falls across the surviving nations. Soldiers stand ready to lay down their lives against foul creatures of the Darkness, but none come. The monsters do not appear to fall upon the defenders of freedom, instead a more sinister shadow infects the lands, creeping into the hearts of those who lead the survivors, tempting them to something that is evil, but powerful beyond measure.

New Engelica once more standing defiant against the Darkness, although they find themselves once more painfully futile in the face of creatures that even their magic cannot touch. Confronted by an enemy which adapts to their every move, countering defensive tactics almost before they can be drawn up, the Magi of New Engelica begin to grow restless, their immense power unable to be used.

Also braced for the Darkness, Tushienia too can only wait as the Shadow never comes. The well-tested defenses and fortifications are not used, the soldiers are not faced with hideous creatures, and the leaders of the nation must desperately plan as they seize the brief respite from the ferocious conflict. However even as they send help out to the west, the Republic of Outcasts begins to crumble under the Darkness.

Having seized land from the Shadow just a handful of months before, the Broken Empire had dug in to defend against the vengeful Darkness only to find no revenge coming, simply the choking black smoke that infects the very land the Shadow has touched. Still fighting a war on two front, in the north and to the east, the Dwarves and Orcs of the Empire must rally, and do what they can to best prepare for the Shadow's inevitable return.

As the Darkness encroaches upon their borders, the Kingdom of Zakol too simply waits in disbelief as no Darkness comes, over land or over sea. The defenders of the nation can do nothing but prepare for the Shadow to return, as the leaders do what they can to plan for that inevitable return.

The Republic of Andinon faces silence as well, and they are perhaps most grateful for the respite, their armies hard-pressed for countless seasons, now given a chance to rest and perhaps prepare to push back against their greatest enemies. Whether they choose to hold their own lines, or to break rank and push against the Shadow, will be decided in the next couple of seasons.

Once more bolstered by their allies, Orngat is able to hold their own against the Darkness, although their navy suffers at the hands of creatures unlike any they have seen before. Desperate for new technologies, their engineers are pushed to their breaking points by their leaders.

Research: Tracking the Arch-Lich, 3/3, Complete

After what has been a successful demonstration for the Order, the council of Orngat have decided to manufacture more of these devices that shall be able to track the Arch-Lich and send them to any nation that would be willing to receive one. They include a jar of sprites, of the kind which is used for conjuring familiars, which somehow respond in different ways to the powers of the Darkness, specifically that of the Arch-Lich, somehow. By the use of this, the measurement devices resembling that of a scale and arrow on top will give a reaction, with lots of spinning Orngat gears on the inside, to show the APPROXIMATE direction of the Arch-Lich through the arrow along with the APPROXIMATE distance to the Arch-Lich through the scales, should the GM feel the desire to share it. That should be enough to estimate in what different provinces he might be in, well, that’s all up to the GM on how effective the device is. Do with the information you might gain, precisely as you like. Probably not this turn, though. Haha.

The dark magic had crawled deep into the veins of Engelica’s mages. They grew paler by the day, and spoke less and less to their dwarven friends. Most had complex tattoos on their arms. The signs were central at using the dark magic back against the Darkness However, despite the great advances, the magic was stubborn and the mages did not yet fully master it. Eléane was standing near her map in the command room. About now the dwarven their ‘Order’ would witness the apparatus that was supposed to track down the great lich. Selina entered her tent, looking equally sullen. “So it starts.” She said, walking up towards the map table.

Eléane merely nodded as she kept her gaze upon the map’s part of New Engelica. “Where do you think he is?” she asked.

“I only have 2 guesses.” Selina started. She took up a wooden carved statuette. It depicts one of the harpies that they fought long ago. With a supple hand, she threw it up. It landed on its base on the islands up in the south. “We haven’t heard from our island brethren for a long time. I think it’s safe to say that they have fallen.”

Eléane looked at the spot. It was indeed the safest place. But also the most disconnected one from the rest of the world. “How would we every reach him there?” she asked, not to anyone in particular. Selina knew this.

“There is another spot he may be at.” Selina started, as she picked up the statuette of a specter.

“Mainland is too dangerous. Even now the Broken Empire is pressing back. Taking back the land. And so is Tushienia.” Eléane stated.

Selina looked up from the statuette. “You know where he might be hiding. You know it very well.” And threw the object she was holding at Eléane, after which she left the tent.

In the meantime, the first 20 mages had finally arrived at the front lines of the Broken Empire. Ready to help however they could.

Province 6
Silence. But as we've learned by now, it is the calm before the storm. Soon the Darkness will strike again, even bolder than before. But even now Andinon dared not attack on its own. The risk of the attacking force being repelled and the defenses being weakened to the point that the darkness could break the line, flooding into the less protected inner lands and murdering the unprotected citizens within. Too much of a risk. Yet wouldn't standing here until the darkness sent monsters so strong nothing could stop them end them the same? So Andion rallied what forces it could to assist its allies in taking back more land from the darkness.

Province 4
The elite force sent in fought a quick and bloody battle. The mindless monsters sent against them fell before the fearsome magic and might of Andinon's gnomes. In days the province was under control and troops sent to reinforce the position. It seemed the fears of a massive force broiling behind the shadows were unfounded, giving Andinon new vigor in their fight against the shadow. (Possible epic description incoming)

Province 15
Daruis looked over the reports with a tired smile on his face. Progress, with the aid of the Alliance and Andion's vanguard the shadow's were slowly being pushed back. He could almost imagine a time when fear of monsters out of your worst nightmares attacking weren't a constant threat. But that was later and this was now. New orders were written. With another province taken the darkness would doubtless retaliate stronger than ever.
