[b]Spring of the Year 2717[/b]

They continue to fight. From the wars raging across the lands victors begin to emerge as the armies of a hundred nations clash over seemingly nothing. There are those who aim to expand their land. There are those that seek to protect those who are under attack and then there are those who go to war just to see their enemies blood spilt. However this war can only last so long as the nations begin to exhaust their supplies of soldiers and weapons they will be forced to turn towards an altogether more grave enemy, the Shadow. And if you have waged war against all then you will have no-one to stand beside you in combat.

[b]New Gobolia[/b] was silent in the winter months, perhaps still reeling from the bloodbath of their diplomatic party, or perhaps just in a drunken stupor. While they sat and do nothing, the Lagosami Tribes have poured down from their hilltop nation like a great tide and seized a province from the Empire of Ubalri.

[b]New Engelica[/b], its alliance with the Broken Empire still wet ink, have marched to war against the Holy Lands, driving their enemies before them and claiming the province from their enemies. However now they find that the Broken Empire has not been idle in the winter, claiming another Province and shattering the Holy Lands.

[b]The Holy Novgorod Imperium[/b] has been seemingly idle as the cold winds blew across Alria, despite the pleas for help coming from nation of Duringis as the Pualirian Empire, still reeling from the oncoming Darkness, seizes their land. The Imperium also faces the first waves of the Great Shadow themselves, but withstand. 

Recovering from the onslaught of the Union of Blaris, the Dirigibles of the [b]Confederacy of Sawl[/b] reaped a bloody toll on the Ironclad fleet, leaving smoking wrecks in their wake. Despite their efforts, the Union claimed yet more of the islands, this time lashing out at the previously uninvolved Pankra, dragging all the nations into the conflict. 

Unable to come to the aid to their new found allies of Duringis as they were out rightly invaded by the Pualirian Empire, [b]Tushienia[/b] would need to decide whether to come to the aid of their northern neighbours, or not risk overstretching their forces in the face of the encroaching Darkness.

Again the [b]Broken Empire[/b] achieved a successful, if bloody, victory against the Holy Lands. Marching through the whirling snowstorms, steel and iron frosting over, the Dwarves and Orcs, aided by their creations, both metal and undead, seized yet another Province. 

Another nation who remained idle during the winter, the [b]Kingdom of Zakol[/b] waited, no doubt plans to react to the conflicts threatening to consume all of Alria.
