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

The icy winds frost armour and freeze swords into their scabbards. Yet despite the biting chill, war continues to engulf Alria. As the nations fight among themselves, the Darkness launches a devastating surprise strike, foul creatures dragging themselves from the seas and falling upon the defenders of Province 31, butchering the defenders to a man. Not only that, but frightened rumors from sailors in the west tell of a shadow coming across the sea.

Fighting against fearsome monsters of metal, the likes of which [b]New Engelica[/b] had never seen, beneath the black, stormy skies that hung over Limgar, magical prowess once again won the day. Another Province flew the colours of New Engelica, but a final bastion of Limgar still remained, and it's strength was formidable.

The armies of [b]Tushienia[/b] march to war once more against the Holy Empire, but the news sent back to homeland is very different. The province was abandoned. There was no bitter fight as was expected, and so the generals were left to attempt to understand how an entire nation just disappeared, and more importantly where it would reappear.

Launching two full-frontal assaults, the [b]Broken Empire[/b] engages in war against two different nations. Marching north, the metal and the undead drive away the machines of their enemies, the Dwarves using their incredible understanding of Mechanical forces to find weak points and exploit weaknesses. And to the East, with aid from their sworn allies Bripiak, they brush aside the last pocket of the [b]Iastuf Republic[/b]

The [b]Kingdom of Zakol[/b] does not march to war, but they are far from idle, spreading out their influence to try and understand the new threat arising in their surrounding nations, namely the ever-aggressive and expanding Lagosami Tribes, and preparing to combat those threats they cannot peacefully resolve.

Marching with their allies once more, the [b]Republic of Andinon[/b] are also shocked at the deserted Province 16, and join Tushienia in trying to understand where the zealous nation has vanished too. Now that the Pualirian Empire has fallen, the Republic must brace itself against the inevitable tide of the Darkness against their borders.

[b]Pankra[/b] once again sails to war, and again inflicts a devastating defeat on the Union of Blaris, pushing the aggressive nation further and further back, and coming closer to achieving piece in the islands, although ominous reports from the west suggest that there is a darker threat approaching.
