[Detoxicated]

(( Love the elysian stuff))
Year 307.8
With the ongoing magification of the Batpeople society many new Professions are born. Magical tailors weaving shimmering singing clothing, chantmasons able to construct high Towers, icemen creating permanent mirrors of ice. The Magocracy Sure has developed a Taste for exquisite goods.

[TankKit]

Year 308
Business as usual in the Waterstone Clan. Hopefully they learn something about safety from all of this.

Meanwhile, Dorathine the 13th "The Warrior" pushes ahead Dorathian colonisation of the river valleys by granting various economic benefits to the colonisers. Many of his soldiers in particular are rewarded with free housing in the form of various surprisingly comfortable military outposts dotted throughout the rest of the river valleys. While their hold over these areas is very weak for now, the next few years should see their hold on these rivers strengthen. The priest-king himself is wildly popular throughout the kingdom for a series of well timed economic reforms and recovering lands that had been lost to their rightful owners for centuries. It seems he has no intention of stopping soon either, as he has begun to integrate cannons into his army as unique shock forces, dedicated to bombarding enemy lines right before a charge. He may well plan to continue his conquests in the future, and it seems unlikely that the hamsterfolk shamans will be able to stop him on their own if he tries again...

In other news, the New Qhaganate(Officially calling itself 'The Second Sandstone Qhaganate') continues to prosper under Gharlor, who effectively has complete control over the Qhaganate as his fellow Qhagans are completely loyal to him for his wise decisions which saved his people. He is getting old, however, and poor luck could see this prosperity come to a screeching halt if he were to die.

Year 308.1
Perun notices that some creatures aren’t going through as much change as others, the Bearwalkers haven’t been up to much compared to some other species, so she causes it to rain a random liquid with random effects on the Bearwalkers’ territory

Roll for how much it rains, and the effect the liquid has on what it hits, as well as what the liquid itself is
((If you’d rather I come up with the type of liquid just say so and I’ll try thinking of one))

[Lidku]

Year 308.2

Even with the Way of Leaf annihilated, the Purple Leaf Disease itself persisted in Thairmir and the Foxmen shaman lands. Units of Yardmower personnel will be sent to these regions to deal with the epidemics, while the main portion of the Yardmowers head to Lotham city where a unique mutation with the Purple Leaf Disease has evolved into a biological "living" undead called the Sapzod by the survivors within the metropolis. It was of great pertinence that the Yardmowers secure these specimens before they can multiply or spread the unique strain of the Purple Leaf Disease in general.

Despite being High-Elves and their initial presence being distrusted by the Human cordon guards of Lotham, a measured amount of bribery and equal validification of their credentials as a budding research organization, the forward personnel of the Yardmowers get access to the years-long blocked off Lotham. They set up a base in an abandoned mage guildhouse and incorporate a merchant warehouse next to it to house future captured subjects.

Meanwhile, Reon Hennedy gains more and more experience as a zombie slayer throughout his years surviving in zombie infested Lotham. Despite him being part of the guard himself, the Lotham cordon guards- who have practically made a quasi-military settlement around Lotham to secure it adequately- would not let him out as inner-city guardsmen of Lotham who make it to the safezone outskirts usually hide that they've been bitten or scratched, shaping policy that city guards who come to the outskirts will be denied passage until the undead outbreak can be confirmed to be eliminated completely. The project of culling the undead from Lotham was a steady inch-by-inch reclaim by the cordon guard force, but it was slower than what the still living survivor-residents of Lotham would've liked.

Reon himself one day makes contact with the Yardmowers, allying to the organization if just in the case of ensuring the outbreak is dealt with more speed and full frontal than what is being given by the cordon guards. This coming together is shaky however as the Yardmowers seem tight-lipped about status reports to Reon and seem equally more tight of giving supplies to him when he's running low.

Year 308.5
The University has begun new techniques of teaching language to the Elysians. Few empathic mages are selected to Develop Games which teaches the Elysians Basic words. Though Not much Progress has been made yet, the researchers have found Out that the Elysians do enjoy playing fetch and hide and seek Kind of Games and are looking to employ these games for Further attempts to teach them words. So far some Elysians have learned that they Receive sweet berries when they return the rock.

Furthermore the aquatic Gondola has been outfitted to find Out what happened to the Titan Spawn crabs that entered the ocean.

308.4

The writ for alliance sent to the combined forces of Arghila and Karhan is readily accepted- with Ludicrous-Sales Halloween wanting to ensure they'd have all the manpower that can mustered as possible. Dexius Consortia, King of Karhan, was little miffed that Ludicrous signed off on the agreement so readily due the plans he wanted with the Black Qhaganate lands concerning the profitable chaos crystals. Though he supposed with the Black Qhaganate leaderless at this point with it only running off a provisionary government, some person of interest among the Slugmen of the Black Qhaganate can be raised to head it under Dexius' manipulation.

A mad dwarf attempts to build a tower to the moon

Code: [Select]

4d20=12+7+6+18
Most in the University dismissed the dwarf's plan to build a tower to the moon as pure lunacy and rightfully so. However, a few more eccentric ones saw the potential in the dwarfs ambitious and grand plan and thus agreed to help him design and build a tower to the moon, or at least as high as they could. But dreams alone dont make for great towers, they needed materials.
No one would willingly give the madmen anything to build the tower for free, and the resources that the University was willing grant for the acquisition of materials for this lunatic plan were rather limited, thus the mad dwarf and his equally mad friends were able to acquire very few materials, not nearly enough to build a "tower to the moon", or even a very tall tower for that matter, with careful management and additional materials dug up out of the ground, it might reach the height of Elysium. That is, if they had a proper construction and mining crew, which they dont, its an insane plan that everyone they tried to hire dismissed as a joke, but of course, money talks, a thing that the mad dwarf and his mad compatriots had very little of after negotiating for their supply of materials, which will be supplied from the Jahtari Sultanate, due to its proximity to the construction site and also because they were cheap, probably mined by slave labor. Maybe the mad dwarf should've hired an accountant to manage the limited funds they had. Regardless, with the gold they did have, they enlisted the aid of a Jahtari slaver guild to build the tower. It seems like all great constructions by the Jahtari are built on the back of slave labor.

With what they had, they began to build their tower, with few hiccups. It seems that the Jahtari slaves are well disciplined, a lot more skilled and obedient than would be expected, but i suppose if a nation is built on slavery, they surely must have slavery down to a science. The tower, that is now being called the "Moon Tower", is nowhere near complete, even in relation to how high it will actually reach, which is as previously stated, about as high as Elysium... eventually.

The Dwarves of the Waterstone clan continue their digging

Code: [Select]

1d20=17
It seems that the dwarves have caught their lucky break, with the constant setbacks and what not. The Dwarves are stubborn, yes, but despite their stubbornness even they needed to admit that they needed outside help to help with their digging efforts, it was then realized that they have a portal straight to the University, the mages will surely be able to help them, so they sent a dwarf that knows how to travel through the portal to the University to see if he could convince some of the magi there to help.

The Head Mage of the Chaos wing saw it as an opportunity for everyone in the Chaos wing to take their studies out of the classroom and put it into practice in the real world, and earn a bit gold for the University. Of course the dwarves were a bit wary of the help of Chaos Magi, knowing the damage that Chaos has done to this world, news of which have reached even the Dwarves. In the end the Dwarves hired the help of the Chaos Archmagi and their students to magically dig the channel.

To do this the Chaos magi used a spell known as "Entropy Beam", it replicates the little known effect of the Chaos rift (formerly Rifts) of (very slowly) destroying matter and concentrates it into a beam of energy.
While the spell does it MUCH faster than the Chaos rifts, and in a controlled manner, the process is still not all that fast, but with a bunch of Magi, they dig through the earth at an impressive pace.
The only downside of digging with Entropy Beam is that it does not leave any matter behind to be carted away. Because the Archmagi were often also teachers for the University, they would happily explain the fundamentals of Chaos magic to any curious dwarves, with some even succeeding in casting weak Entropy Beams themselves. Seeing the effectiveness of the Magi's efforts compared to their own, some Dwarves actually became quite interested in magic themselves. It was discovered too late that Earth or Arcane Magi would have been able to help them too, since either could just MOVE the earth, magically, using different techniques. Arcane Magi using "Telekinesis", and Earth Magi using "Command Earth", a spell that makes dirt or stones literally move by themselves and with a small Spirit kick, can become golems, which can then be ordered to dig, but Spirit Magi are generally rare and Earth/Spirit magi even more so.

(Sorry, theres only so many times i can write about dirt being dug before i lose my mind.)

The amount of rain that Perun causes to come down on the Bearwalkers' territory is not much, its certainly no rainstorm, more like a light drizzle, except its not water. Whatever it is, its tasty, and fermented, yep its mead, its the bearwalkers' lucky day, or would be if even touching the cruel liquid didn't turn any spot on the skin it hits into petrified wood. Its not hard to guess what it does to one's insides.

The Yardmowers attempt to tackle the Purple Leaf disease in Thairmar and the Foxfolk lands

Code: [Select]

2d20=9+18The Purple leaf disease in Thairmar is too widely spread for the Yardmowers have a significant effect on, especially with only a small part of the whole Yardmowers' force. Despite their best efforts, The disease continues to spread faster than the Yardmowers can deal with it, or the Red Leaf Disease. It may be that the infection within Thairmar is beyond the critical mass needed to be effectively unstoppable, in fact that may be the case for the disease as a whole. and unless a revolutionary solution to the problem is discovered, the western continent may well be lost. And while the Red Leaf Disease will eventually theoretically infect all of the Purple Leaf disease carrying hosts, By the time the Red Leaves do so, there will be nothing left to save. And there is no guarantee than a strain of the Purple Leaf disease wont mutate that is immune to the Red Leaf Disease. Had the Third Crusade never started, perhaps everyone could cooperate and focus on curing the disease together, as there is no one that the Disease does not present a threat to.


Not everything is so gloomy however, as the Yardmowers headed to the Foxfolk Shamans land have demonstrated that it IS possible to fight back against the disease with concentrated effort, with ample supplies of Vision Dust that is, and magical fire. They have managed to significantly reduce the infected area in the foxfolks' lands and do so without scorching the land. The Upside: The land is usable, the Downside: the disease can still spread there.




The Third Crusade: The Desert Shades attack the Kingdom of Arghila occupied territory to the south.

YEAR 308.6

Tragedy has struck the Elysian Gardens.
There are ever few devoted enough to journey across a continent to please their masters, but a zealous member of the Jahtgaro Cult who is always looking for new things to feed to his ever hungry masters, a Seeker of sorts. The mad dwarf, with his grand plans of the Moon Tower has brought knowledge of the Elysians to the south along with him. They were wonderful creatures after all, who could resist talking about them, and like that the word spread among the Jahtari about the Elysians, first to the Slaver Guilds, who were working with the Dwarf on the construction, and then from there to the rest of their nation, and soon enough, the word of them reached the ears of the Seeker.

Surely, they must be truly exotic delicacies, if only now they are being learned about. He hired a few less than moral trappers to aid him in his quest and they traveled all the way north, to the University and more specifically to the Elysian Gardens to capture a few, just a few Elysians and bring them south. Luckily for them, the Gardens are left largely unguarded, probably for the Elysians, getting in isn't too difficult, especially for Lizardmen. And Elysians, being the naive and curious creatures that they are, readily approached the poachers with friendly intentions, only to be restrained and shoved into a cage way too small for them.

While the Elysians attempted to free their captured friends by the way of magical attacks, it turns out that their natural magic is too weak to do significant damage and the Seeker along with the hired thugs made off with several cages with Elysians in them. For those that were captured, however, the nightmare had only just begun. They were carted all the way to the south, and given an excess of food along the way, The Elysians, being the optimists that they are, figured that they would probably become someone's pet, however, the reality is far more grim.

The Poachers eventually split from the Seeker, having done their job and went back to the Sultanate, blissfully unaware and unconcerned with what would become of the captured Elysians, although a lingering sense of guilt nibbled away at them, that perhaps they had condemned the little creatures to some horrible fate.

And such was the case, the Seeker brought them all the way south, to the Vasilikos' Twin Isles and before his masters. At first, the Vasilikos thought that it was some kind of joke by the Seeker. These creatures were far too small to be a decent meal, and were about to eat the Seeker himself, but the Seeker explained that these were special creatures, showing the small patch of burnt scales he received during his escape from the Garden. The Vasilikos didn't buy it, but figured that there was no point letting what was brought to them go to waste. This was the first time the Vasilikos and the Elysians had met each other and sadly for the captured Elysians, they were to be that day's dessert. Never has been an Elysian been more scared than when looking one of the great snakes in the eye and realizing what its fate was.

I will not go into gratuitous detail describing the horror that the little creatures were forced to face, but by the time only one of the Elysians was left, it laid there silently curled up, having accepted its fate, and only hoping that its end would be painless.

However in a strange twist, it is the Elysian that would have the last laugh, even though like all the others, its life ended in the belly of one of the snakes, it had instilled an emotion in the snake that she had never felt before: Regret. Shortly after consuming the Elysian, the snake fell unconscious as the memories of the little Elyisan filled her mind as visions. Playing in the trees, basking in the sun, running amok in the University, A childhood, innocence, something that the Vasilikos had no concept of. And then she was hit with the horrors that the Elysian had faced in its last moments, and as the playback of its memories caught up to the present, the very last memories of the Elysian were one with those of the snake.

When she woke, she discovered that she had undergone some rather extreme mutations, her scales were pale white, and as she peered at her reflection in the water surrounding the twin islands, she saw that she now had the hood of a cobra, decorated on the dorsal side with patterns not unlike those of the Elysians themselves, the patterns had a distinct crimson coloration to them. And soon she discovered that her venom had become infused with magical energies, venom that she could now spit like a projectile, effectively introducing magic to the Vasilikos for the first time. The White Cobra is the only one of the Vasilikos to undergo this mutation.

How this incident will affect the Elysians of the Elysian Gardens remains yet to be seen. Same goes for the Vasilikos.

After the attack on the Gardens, the panicked Elysians managed to adequately describe the ones who had captured their friends and the University's magi managed to figure out that the Elysians were describing the Lizardmen, and they told of this to the heads of the University, and they were furious, the Jahtari were enslaving Elysians now?! How low will the stoop they thought, the university launches an investigation into the incident.
Roll for whether the University discovers the truth

Code: [Select]

1d20=13The Sultan of the Jahtari, after being contacted with accusations by the University's mages, responded by stating that he didn't even know what these "Elysians" were, much less that if they truly are as small as they are, nobody would want them as slaves, pets maybe, but the Jahtari themselves make better slaves. The University tried to perform an investigation itself within the Sultanate, but sadly the territory was too large to investigate, but they could discover no evidence of any Elysians within the Jahtari Sultanate, but at least this cleared the Jahtari Sultanate itself of any accusations of kidnapping Elysians. Sadly, the investigators reached a dead end with their investigation. And could not discover the truth of what had happened to the Elysians.

The Kingdom of Arghila attempts to resupply

Code: [Select]

1d20=17
With the Dorathian Crusade finished and resources of the Dorathian Kingdom freed up, they are able to cart a fair amount of resources to the army of Arghila to aid their old allies in their war effort. However, they are still recovering from their own Crusade and thus unable to provide direct military aid.

(The Kingdom of Arghila's army has gained 10% army health.)


Viper Guerillas attacks The Aetherial Cannon Artillery

Code: [Select]

Modifiers:
The Aetherial Cannon Artillery
Artillery: -3 Attack -3 Defence
 
Viper Guerillas 2d20=(9+0=9)+(8+0=8)
vs.
The Aetherial Cannon Artillery 2d20=(7+-3=4)+(18+-3=15)

The Viper guerrillas snuck their way deep into the enemy territory to silence the cannons of the The Aetherial Cannon Artillery, their enemies could not be allowed to have such an advantage, a force that could attack without their enemies being able to attack back is a dangerous one indeed. But while the artillery is not intended to fight a direct confrontation, the siege pieces still had a guard escort, and with some effort, the cannons could be used against attacking foes. The guards of the The Aetherial Cannon Artillery were concerned with protecting the cannons first and foremost, with killing the attackers being a distant secondary priority, in either case, they were hampered by their limited numbers, as many of the Aetherials are needed to man the Cannons.
At the same time, the Vipers could not do much against the defence of the Aetherial guards, focusing mostly on surgical hit-and-run strikes on the forces, with limited success. Such attacks also frequently left the attackers exposed when attacking.

(Viper Guerillas attacked The Aetherial Cannon Artillery dealing 5,625% damage and taking 6% damage in return. The Aetherial Cannon Artillery has 14,375% army health remaining and Viper Guerillas has 93% army health remaining.)

<Bonuses>
The Desert Shades 2d20=(17+0=17)+(7+0=7)
vs.
Kingdom of Arghila 2d20=(2+0=2)+(1!+0=1)
The Kingdom of Arghila's forces had become quite a thorn in the Red Court's side, especially now that they had merged with that of Karhan. They had become a distraction that stopped the Rec Court from focusing on their real enemy, the Black Qhanganate. The Desert shades were sent to drive the Arghilans out of the Red Court's land. The combination of the Miragians' deadly capability for guerrilla warfare and the Shadowguards' now legendary espionage abilities, it was a match made in heaven. The Attacks upon Arghila's vast army consisted of night raids, with the Shadowguard feeding info to the Miragians regarding vulnerable targets.

The Arghilans were utterly unprepared to deal with such a threat, the night watch was a joke, easily eliminated by the shadowguard, and the attacking Miragians were always gone before the Arghilans could prepare a counterattack, a few unlucky Miragians were killed by Arghilan soldiers but it was a drop in the bucket compared to what the attacking forces did to the Arghilans, but it is true that the attackers focused on doing as much damage as possible over their own safety, but due to the near-ineptitude of the Arghilan forces against these raids, the Desert Shades did not suffer many casualties. The Arghilans however, in a terrible stroke of misfortune, saw their King, Ludicrous-Sales Halloween, assassinated in one of the raids, leaving the king of Karhan to lead the forces.

(The Desert Shades attacked Kingdom of Arghila dealing 40,375% damage and taking 3,25% damage in return. Kingdom of Arghila has 42,625% army health remaining and The Desert Shades has 96,75% army health remaining. The Kingdom of Arghila has lost its occupied territory.

How to play
Post what forces you want to do what. Fluff can be added but make sure the intent is clear.
Each force can only take 1 action per update.
I will handle the rest including all the rolls
Claimed armies can only be played by the player that claimed them. A claim is lost if the force is not played in several updates.

Otherwise follows the rules and is played like the rest of the worldbuilding game. As long as an force is not claimed, it may be played by any player.

Known Actions
These are Actions that are known to be possible but as the game has no true fixed mechanics, don't be afraid to experiment.

• Attack: Attacks a force, territory or a structure. Can be prefixed with an attack style:
• • Reckless: +2 Attack, -3 Defence
• • Cautious: -3 Attack, +2 Defence
• • Raze: Only available when attacking territories or structures. Instead of occupying territory, it is reduced to ruins. Structures are destroyed. The territory ruined is smaller than would be occupied.
• Resupply: Resupplies an force. Can increase force health by either 20%, 10%, 5%, 0%, -5% or -10% depending on the success of the roll. The resupply roll can be easier or harder, depending on circumstances.
• Fortify: Attempts to increase defence bonuses for the next turn. Can change Defence by either +3,+2,+1,-1,-2 or -3 depending on the success of the roll.
• Covert Ops: (Spies Only) Attempts to hinder an enemy force in some way. Effects vary. Known Ops:
• • Assassinate: Attempts to kill a Hero(must have Veterancy), thus removing the Veterancy bonus. Dangerous operation that can seriously damage the spies.
• • Sabotage supplies: Either decreases the force's rolls next turn or the spies take damage.
• Bombard: (Artillery Only) Attacks an force or a structure with long range artillery. Structures' Bonuses are removed for the next turn. Only the enemy will take damage, depending on the Artillery's attack roll and the target's defence roll. Can not take territory.
• Split: Can be used to split an force into two. The new force will have the force health specified, which will be taken out of the donor force. 50/50 by default if no percentage specified.
• • Produce: If a trait is specified in the move, the new force will have that trait, and other traits are inherited from the parent force. Some restrictions apply, such as Guerillas turned into an Army will have half health.

   
Known Traits:
Like actions, don't be afraid to try and create new ones:

• Aerial: This Army/Unit gets a +3 bonus against ground forces. Forces are implied ground unless otherwise specified.
• Anti-*: When a force is "Anti-" something, it will gain a bonus equal to that what the enemy with that trait would gain when fighting them, and the enemy does not.
• Artillery: A specialist force that can Bombard without taking damage in return, however, they are not capable of capturing territory, and do not count as an offensive Army.
• Army: The standard force. Nothing special about them.
• Coalition: a single force composed of multiple armies. Can be split into their constituent parts. Gains a +2 bonus against single armies, but any damage taken is taken equally and in full by all armies
• Defensive: Typically Army. Can not take any Offensive actions. This force will fulfill a special function(Such as defence or granting bonuses) if the territory it is associated with is attacked. If there is no Defensive Army to defend a territory, a normal Army will be defending instead. It should be noted that a Defensive Army/Coalition can not die, they will merely become Guerilla if their health is at 0.
• Guerilla: A small specialized force. Other types of forces do not gain any bonueses against them, but their damage in combat is halved.
• Immune to *: If a force is immune to something, any enemies will not gain that bonus when fighting them. Can also appear as a bonus, sometimes.
• Offensive : This army can move and attack any territory. A war is lost if a faction has no territory and no Offensive Army/Coalition that can attack. A force is implied Offensive unless specified otherwise.
• Spies: A small force specialized in covert operations but poor in direct combat. Covert ops can not deal damage to forces, but can grant bonuses or remove them from other forces.
• Legendary * Unit: A single individual capable of taking on an entire Army by itself, such as a god. Typically have exotic bonuses or traits. Many have disadvantages, too.

Did you know? Anti-Encirclement is the rarest trait in the wargame aside from Legendary.



Glossary:

• Bashing: Attacking an force multiple times per update. Every attack after the first only deals half damage to the attacked force to discourage this.
• Encirclement: Any territory, Occupied or permanent, surrounded by enemy territory, again, permanent or occupied. Any attacks against such territory gain a massive bonus.
• Force: Anything that can take an action and has traits.
• Hero: Typically leaders of armies. Can grant bonuses to whatever force they are leading. Can be Assassinated. All Heroes grant at least +1 Veterancy bonus.
• Splitting: A way to create a new force by using a percentage of an existing army's health.

Conditions for war conclusion:
ANY of these conditions being true will conclude a war:

• No Faction is capable of attacking.
• A Successful peace negotiation roll is made. "Successful" depends on who is winning, based on remaining forces and territory.

Once a war is over, all occupied territories will become permanent territories. In some cases when it isn't obvious, it should be noted WHOSE territory it will become.

Year 308.7
Somewhere in the trackless wilderness, and then again, nowhere in particular, the Angry Babbler (its bushy beard now flecked with grey) grumbubbled to itself in a malcontent sort of manner.

Some obstreperous skulldugger had just barged past him with a cartload of... cat-monkeys? Sapient cat-monkeys?
Whatever they were. He'd heard the wailing.

There would be vengeance.
Greatly disturbed by the raid on the Elysian Gardens, certain of the more militarily inclined Waterstone dwarves begin to wonder about training and outfitting a contingent of Elysian soldiers. The creatures have hands, after all-- surely they can be taught to wield a spear?

Having discovered just how useful magic is and recovered from their previous setbacks, the Dwarves set into a comfortable, safe schedule that will gradually complete their project with no chance of extreme setbacks or advances. They have also begun bringing over more magic users to help them learn it, with a particular focus on the Earth magic that holds so much potential for the Dwarves.

Dorathine the 13th 'The Warrior', having rewarded his soldiers for their victory and thoroughly secured his position, has now turned his attention to the Purple Leaf Disease growing throughout his northern lands. While news of it is kept relatively quiet, his majesty has completely cut off the affected areas from the rest of the kingdom and stationed a great deal of his military at the edge of the affected areas to stop the disease from spreading further. With violence, if necessary.

((By the way, my previous post talking about Dorathine was meant to give him weak territory around the unowned rivers just to the kingdoms east. Sorry, I now realise I didn't make that very clear lol.))

((Again, don't worry about it. If it starts getting too complicated we won't mind if you take your time with updates or ask someone to co-GM. The consistent quality you provide is already top-notch, so don't worry about being a bad GM because of such a small mistake.))

Year 309

With Ludicrous-Sales Halloween killed in battle, Dexius Corsortius takes helm of his own forces, while the forces of Arghila wait for the new King to arrive- his coronation was quick and without much pomp as the Crusade was still in action and the army needed his presence; King Kareteon Halloween arrives to the territory held by The Great Diplomatic army. For now it is decided all the human realms active in the Crusade will join up as force finally- which means Arghila and Karhan merge with The Great Diplomatic army.

Kareteon Halloween was of course the oldest of his brothers in the reigning Halloween dynasty as of now. He wasn't as ministerial as Mordicus or peace-loving as the more younger ones however, he reveled in the Crusade as was saddened that his father didn't bring him along into the war initially. Kareteon keeps the Vipers on payroll and puts them on an assignment: Hunt down the Desert Shades in an effort to put them out of the war or atleast lower their effectiveness. They needed to be out of the way while the Human non-chaos Kingdoms continue to broker an agreement with the Black Qhaganate. Once some sort of treatise is made with the Black Qhaganate, they are sure in a combined force they can knock out the Red Court and install a non-chaos aligned Human Kingdom- part of the initial agreement outline by Zalalastan and Steamland. 

((Is anyone still doing the Black Qhaganate still?))

Lotham City with the effort of the Yardmowers and the Lotham guardsmen continue to beat back the horde in the urban metropolis. Large sections of the city have been secured, allowing many parts of it to be functional again for civil purposes. With this fact in mind with word of Lotham getting to safer levels, migrants of all kinds from the parts of Arghila that was badly effected with the Purple Leaf Disease flock to the renowned city due to the astronomical low rents put up by property owners trying to revanche some money with everything being shut down for so long.

It was if everything was slowly coming back to normalcy- but the zombie horde still lurked in the deepest parts of the city. New and old residents of Lotham call this part of Lotham the Deadzone where the undead still stir freely- it is also an area where runaway outlaws and other vagabonds begin to set up bases to escape the law or just generally lay low from other parties.

The Yardmowers use this excuse of undead still being in Lotham as a way to keep the property they acquired while the city was still in anarchy- much to the ire of the previous mages guild they got their "HQ" from. The influence of the Yardmowers is too great however and the corrupt Lotham courts are quick to side with the more lucrative Yardmowers in the land seizure case. From here they continue research on the Sapzods in secret, wishing to getter better understanding of this unique strain.

Reon Hennedy, feeling the nightmare finally over, promptly quits his post within the Lotham guard force- feeling that their work was slow and horrendous, they could've saved more lives if they were quicker. Now he works as a mercenary around the three Kingdoms.

With Ludicrous-Sales Halloween dead, this was the perfect time for the Vahucci to try and get the parts of Valkyra in possession of the Halloween dynasty- well the faction within the Vahucci Cult that still cared about acquiring all the parts. The work of the Vahucci of restoring Ki from the few parts they have has had many breakthroughs to a point where little care is being rendered to the greater part of the Project surrounding all the parts of Valkyra. This faction within the Vahucci however felt that restoring Ki without gaining ultimate power or reviving Vahucci would be moot altogether. In truth though many individuals within the faction had their own goals for the corpse parts.. but that would be resolved when they all it had together to begin with.

Roll for the Vahucci attempt to steal the corpse parts in possession of the Halloween dynasty
