Year 19:
Still Peace. The colonists from the east expand quite nicely, few to none problems.
Filthy Merrisians! The barbarians are back, and Merrisians have also been seen among them! King David(Age 26) realises that if they are going to stop the barbarians they are going to have to find a way to deal with the Merrisians first. Many less casualties than usual are taken during the attack, but King David continues to reinforce the north border, starting work on a giant wall to connect all the defensive castles.
Throne Secured. David's wife Kesrian(Age 26.) has another child, this one is male, which means the throne is now secured. Meanwhile, Matilda(Age 3) accidentally releases a massive burst of magic when visiting one of the border villages with her parents, making David very happy that his daughter can use magic, but also worrying him with just how much power the little kid has. Not to mention that she can't even control it!
Some exploration teams to the east manage to succesfully report back saying that, yes, the dwarves are at war with the crocodiles, but they also seem to be fighting massive hordes of goblins. One exploration team claims to of seen an actual demon leading the goblins in one battle, yet the dwarves didn't even seem to flinch, they just continued walking into the goblin army while hacking and chopping until either they were dead, or all the goblins were dead. Apparantly, the demon manage to escape and fly away.
Exploration teams sent to the coastal cities claim that they have seen some sort of black mermaid race occasionally come to the coastal cities and seem to search for something, before returning underwater. Occasionally, scouts say that they see white mermaids engage in small skirmishes with the black mermaids, making everyone see the peaceful lake in a whole new light, they must be constantly fighting down there!
Meanwhile, three heroes Karantosh the Wise, Labsmoth the Stealthy, and Tikrushkar the Great Warrior are sent into the labythinth...
