Autumn Update - In the north of Terheridon, 15,000 footmen march under the banner of their King in response to the reports of looting and pillaging from enemy forces. A peasant revolt, incited by the messages of the City-State of Bennipolis and armed by the Kingdom of Aznavor, spreads through the South of the land. A force of 1,000 Recruits and 20,000 Peasants further ravage the land and head towards the Alliance’s forces in the north after they burn down a rebel-aligned village - In the United Imperium of Valm, activity both economic and military is undertaken as the recent economical investments in conjunction with the work of Hendry de Stonee records a short term return of $1,000,000,000 however $2,500,000,000 is spent training and ‘re-educating’ 5000 conscripts into recruits. - The spy from the City-State of Bennipolis manages to infiltrate the dockyards of the Councilate of Arbasses in time to see the launch of their new battle fleet of 5 Ships-Of-the-Line, 3 Frigates, 7 Schooners and 2 Sloops. He has yet to make it inside the shipyards themselves but the obvious sign of further construction work is evident. - Aznavor experiences a return of 1,000,000,000 from its investments as its trading networks further enhance their trading capability in both speed and capacity. - In the colonies of the Councilate of Arbasses the war rages on; the attempted bombardment of the Khan’s fortifications by the horse artillery fails miserably as the light cannon balls fail to penetrate the defences and cause little more than surface damage to the wooden walls(dice roll 1). The naval bombardment of Wang Shen is a minor success for the councilate of Arbasses, the city’s port facilities are damaged and the Khan incurs the loss of 1 ballista ship (dice roll 4) as the inner sea fleet is rendered incapable of setting sail before clearing the damaged bay. The two ship squad sent to destroy the bridge across the great southern river is a resounding success (dice roll 6) as the frigate and schooner managed to destroy the bridge connecting the two lands severing the besieging forces from their supplies before the entire fleet pulls back to the two colonies. The final action, the tunnelling by the Khan (dice roll 5) is successful despite the sandy soil around the cities and the tunnels are nearing being able to breach the walls of New Stendmark. However the forces behind enemy lines refocus from vagrant killing of Khan soldiers to scouting and report the vast quantity of soil being moved from the encampments with the defenders beginning the dig ditches and moats in front of the walls of the cities; under armed guard and cannon. The army encamped out the front of Wardensfall pulls back into the city with the potential of being collapsed under too much of a threat. - The siege of Bennipolis continues without disturbance as the cannon-light forces of Terheridon struggle to penetrate the modern defences of the city-state but they continue the siege despite the raids in their own land. However with winter coming a frenzy of work begins in order to take the city by assault before they have to withdraw under winter’s fury. - With the colonial war absorbing too much of Arbasses' resources and focus, Marcus de Happself resigns as leader of the Commerce League but not before pleading for the nations of the League to pledge soldiers for an expeditionary force to relieve the sieges from the members of the Commerce league as per their pact. The Councilate will transport the soldiers over with their new fleet so the nations need only send their soldiers to Stendmark.
