We are at peace and our economy is doing well. Crime is low, technological advances are spreading quickly.

Many news from abroad have come:

In the North, the Ice Trolls have returned as a threat, independent from anyone else - they have advanced technologically and know how to work bronze and iron and have taken some frontier lands from the Principality of Aagberaad, including the fortified castle town of Evagvinter, a bulwark against trolls.
The Black Orcs have retaken more of their old lands through force.
Cartographers have finished detailing more of the islands in the south. We've learned that the lizardfolk city-states on the islands between Hajatas and Setyrias have banded together in "The Warmwater Confederacy", fighting the expansionistic Drezvak Kingdom.
The latest news, having only JUST arrived, is of what has transpired close to home - The Mighty has annexed the Kingdom of the Steppes and proclaimed the formation of the Dominion of Might. This happened without any war being fought - stories vary: some say the Mighty transformed into a Titan and cast a great spell that killed all his enemies; The Mighty slew the Centaur King in single combat and made all the Centaur lords bow before him; There was a coup in the Centaur capital; The Mighty is actually Stoman incarnate; The Mighty is an Old God;
We aren't sure what truly transpired. New banners fly over the lands that mysterious man now rules. Emperor Damian Ezgielan will not take this lightly.

There have been many reports of banditry and sabotage in the past year.

For the unlawful dealings between the Count of Rograr and the Count of Divata's Pathway, an accord has been made between the Dragon Guard and Divata's Sons and Daughters. The County of Rograr shall be returned to the Dragon Guard, and it's Count shall be punished accordingly.

As to the reparations for this breach of feudal code, Divata's followers have agreed to share the knowledge of level 7 Nature magic with the Dragon Guard, as well as give Nayte the Copper and Mercery mines and the surrounding associated lands (from Rograr to the mines and from the mines to Roggar's borders, excluding Divata's Right Hand).

>>1002717
The Rangers after hearing about their vassal doing such a bad deal offer a different solution. Instead of the Divatas followers giving away their mines they would simply give monetary reparations or some other alternative that could be asked of by the dragon guard. The magic portion however still stands to be given to them.

The ogres as a people have a time-honored tradition of eating other sentient beings. I believe it is time that we put this tradition to full use. I will commission a fighting and a cooking tournament in order to create a new order of warrior-chefs who will eat their victims after their battles, and will number around 100 to start with. This order should be complete by the declaration of war against The Mighty. I hope that they bring great honor and glory to both the Ogremarch and Roggar

Dragon Commander Bellona Dragonscarred led a brilliant assault on the minotaur city of Rekazir, taking it swiftly and then repelling a counter-attack that came from the south. Within the first month of the campaign we've seized one fort and one city with minimal losses while inflicting losses upon the minotaurs. Scouts report that most minotaur forces are being sent eastward - that is because in the east Ezirin is under attack from Paitran Legions, which have besieged the city of Kresnom, dwarven armies that have besieged Reichki and high elven forces from the desert that are assaulting the southern pass.
Word from the Steppes is that there is an insurrection among the Centaurs! No attacks have come from that direction yet.

It seems fighting is intense in the Steppes - not all the centaurs are opposing the Mighty and there is chaos and confusion all around, our Legions can't make much sense of it yet and have only suffered losses with few gains.

We made our way through southern minotaur lands successfuly, fending off ambushes and attacks, reaching the ruins of Rovinnan and heading eastward. Reserve forces we left to guard Rekazir are being reinforced by Bannermen coming from Roggar every week - that front is stable for now

The dwarves have taken Reichki and the High Elves have secured the desert pass, but elsewhere disaster has struck! The Mighty marshalled his army and engaged the Emperor's Legions outside Kresnom - the Emperor himself had come to boost their morale and supervise the siege himself, but while his forces were doing battle, assassins assaulted his own headquarters in what was an incredibly well-orchestrated attack, with suspected collaborators on the inside! Paitran forces have suffered a defeat and the siege of Kresnom has been lifted.

Our main army, numbering 70 000, is a hundred kilometers or so away from Palnik - we recieved word of the Emperor's assassination through our spatial mages, before the connection there was lost as well.
What should we do now? It is the 15th of Charodis - the height of summer.

Palnik fell to our assault - there were not too many forces protecting the city. Supply lines are holding so far.
Minotaurs have been keeping the Paitrans busy, while the Mighty's forces routed the dwarves and retook Reichki.
The elves took Zidram, which is about 60km to the south of our positions. They've got a force of 15 000 there at the moment - they've had to fight through a lot to get to where they are now.
It is the 1st of Zemis. No word from the Steppes yet. We've got 66 000 troops at Palnik. What should we do?

>>1014406
Link up with the Helves, we can both use our supply chains.

There's good news and bad news.
The Good news is we advanced swiftly, linked up with the elves and have taken the western side of Soermos. Our scouts have also given us reports of enemy positions - that's where the bad news are coming from.
The Mighty has just entered the city from the eastern side with his forces. Centaurs loyal to him are advancing along the road from the southwest swiftly as well. They'll be in Palnik within a day or two - the High Elves are guarding the rear for now.

Thanks to our spatial mages we managed to transfer the orders to our allies quickly enough and they're now outside Soermos' walls. The centaurs are probably outside Palnik right now, the Mighty is on the other side of the river - skirmishes have been occuring from a distance within the city and the buildings around the river are all destroyed by now. The Mighty holds the eastern bank, but we now have more forces to throw at him.

The river is rather full right now - we could use this to our advantage by diverting it at the northern side, close to the source, so it floods into the eastern part of the city.

We didn't flood the entire eastern part of the city, but we did deal some damage, cause confusion and give our forces an opening to attack! The horns are sounded and now our forces are charging, crossing the existing bridges as well as new ones being created with spells.

So that's why they weren't troubled! The Ice Dragon, Studanek, is here - his magic froze a lot of the water before it could flood the other side and he's now using his spells to attack key points on the battlefield! Thousands have already fallen, yet the Mighty holds the eastern shore!

Nevertheless, we've now transferred all of our forces into the city(some were outside the western walls until now) so we'll be safe from an attack from the centaurs - which is coming in the next few hours, most likely.

Our crossbowmen are invaluable in this urban combat - a bow can be kept drawn and ready to shoot for only a few seconds, but a trained crossbowman is ready to take down a foe at any time with a light twitch of his finger.
We are pushing through and taking more ground. The enemy force is made up primarily of orcs, ogres and half-humans. Our equipment is of higher quality and our professional soldiers are well trained and disciplined.
Scouts report that centaurs have been sighted from the walls. We need to end this quickly!

It seems our continued efforts have paid off - after an attempted strafing run the Dragon was wounded and forced to withdraw.

This just in - our spatial mages have lost contact with everything outside the city. We can't get word in or out. Astral scouts report centaurs are camped about a kilometer west of the city, while the Mighty's army is camped at a fort a short ways east of the city.
The last reports we got said the minotaurs are still keeping the Paitrans at bay, centaurs have cut off our own supply lines completely, but the dwarves don't have that many enemies in their area - we managed to send word that we require reinforcements before losing contact.
Making an assessment of our current supplies, we can hold out for about a month, maybe more if we ration our supplies - having less mouths to feed helps, the only bright side of losing as many men as we did. There is a problem though - there are still civilians in the city, primarily women and children, who had been hiding in their homes during the battle. About five thousand of them are here. The civilians' homes have food supplies we could use.
