Summer of 2719
The weak sunlight that makes it through the swirling black clouds gathering above Alria shines on a much changed landscape. The very ground itself has been tainted by the Darkness, the land made sick and the oceans turning inky black, whatever the outcome of this desperate war, Alria will never be the same.
Facing the Darkness for the first time, New Engelica fights alongside the metal defenders of Orngat, facing screaming harpies in the skies above them as the Storm Tempest is once more summoned to the aid of the powerful nation. Those that remained in New Engelica can hardly believe the horrors that their brothers and sisters are facing on a foreign shore.
Desperately holding the line against the ever-pressing Darkness, Tushienia takes a serious blow in it's battle. Perhaps the nation's greatest strength, it's mastery of undead magics, wanes in the face of the Shadow as immensely powerful magics strip them of their powers. The undead will no longer rise to Tushienia's call, and the Darkness, sensing a moment of weakness, push forwards in greater numbers than ever before.
For the first time since the Darkness toppled the Great Alliance, a nation has taken the fight to the foul nightmares. The Broken Empire, hurling itself against the Shadow with a frenzy, pushes back the Darkness from a province in which it had settled just months before. They find the land twisted and nightmarish, but they claim the land, forges already being re-lit and defenses repaired in preparation for the inevitable retaliation.
The Kingdom of Zakol bursts into action, refusing to allow the waters to fall to the Darkness as they hurl almost their entire fleet in a desperate attempt to push the Shadow back from their vulnerable coasts. Armies march to the north, shoring up the defenses of their allies the Republic of Andinon while Zakol encounters the Darkness on land for the first time, easily driving them back.
Now doubt grateful of their allies coming aid, the Republic of Andinon continues to hold their lines against the Darkness, even as in shady workshops and libraries, the nation is gathering all information they can that will help them against their mortal foe. Perhaps some breakthrough will come from the studious Gnomes...
Pankra falls silent even as one of their islands are seized from them by the Darkness, their people slaughtered and villages razed to the ground.
As another island falls to the shadows, and the shifting shapes beneath the waters draw loser to the Republic of Outcasts, there can be no doubt that it will be under the weak summer sun that the nation will be truly tested, facing the Darkness for the first time. As the nations around them fall silent, and allies are far in the distance, it will soon come down to a desperate fight for survival.
Orngat faces the Darkness for the first time, and, aided greatly by their elven allies, manage to drive off the first contact, although there can be no doubt that, as the Shadow continues to push through the waters, the fight will not always be so easy. However, bolstered as they are by their two new-found allies, there is hope that they will hold.

Everyone remember to get their posts up!
@PlatinumSkink The season will be the same length, so feel free to post whenever you're ready. If something major happens over PM then you can always come back and edit.
@BlackRose If you PM me your actions, I'll be able to implement them before I enact anything major.

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.
