Year 15:
Scouts report that the dwarves are forming massive armies and going even deeper into the mountains, suggesting that they are not alone in the mountains, and that they probabaly have enemies.
Meanwhile, the Court of Wizards, also known as the COW, manages to successfully challenge and destroy the necromancer, improving the mood extremely well. They hae brought the magic staff into the hands of proffesionals for studying purposes only.
This time Belthia is much better prepared for barbarian invasion, the new king David Rim knew it was only a matter of time before the barbarians attacked again and he managed to push them off, but it is unlikely they will be able to properly cursh the barbarians this time, there's just too many of them.
Further study also shows that the 'ocean' is actually just a very large lake, and multiple clean pools of water are found and exploited, allowing the kingdom to slowly return to normal.
Further study of the aggressive crocodile men shows that thousands of them head to the mountains daily, and, considering all the massive armies the dwarves are making, it is safe to say that they are either very good allies, or absoloute enemies.
Meanwhile, a new general is hired, Sir Timdantlot, and he's a dwarf! He sais that he has been sent to study us and help improve our battle tactics, asking no favours whatsoever, nope, the totally don't insist that we go to war with the crocodile men, of course he doesn't, not at all!
Meanwhile the goblin group is growing extremely fast, and at this rate they could potentially have more people than Belthia in only a mere two years!
