>>3376554
The superheater projectiles, though turned to dust through his psychic shield still do immense damage to the King’s Head, he loses his composure, as his left eye boils away, and his jaw is burnt into two.

The burns seep into his mind, killing so many of the few memories he had of the past oh so distant.

His superhuman senses burst into action, his survival instincts so long ignored now control him for so little of a time.

His fist crackles with horrible energies, his power amplified by his seething pain.

He fires an array of red hot psychic lightning at Cian, his bolts filled with ethereal anger.

Explaining western army situation from a few turns ago.

Miraculously a portal is summoned at the entrance to the tunnel, releasing boiling oil, killing hundreds of dwarves near the mouth instantly.
A tunnel collapse at the entrance seals it shut as the oil pours down the main hall.
Oil in the main hall continues to take many lives, thousands of dwarves burned and drowned, survivors would be the ones tending to other rooms such as storage or drinking chambers, and workshops.

They recover from the attack for now while the lesser half of the army would have remained outside.

>1.Mages study the religious books they got from the Hard Shell people to replicate its magical effects.
>2.Gorgons have heard of exploding powders invented by the stout people. They are interested and want it, but they don't know where they are. Maybe their one-eye friends will know so they send an envoys to ask them where the stout people are. In the mean time, ERS looks in their jungles to find boom boom materials (find plants to dry to create ingredients for the blackpowder)

Their cultural pride renew, ERS thought of spreading some of their culture to their friends the Cyclopes. With the envoys, they send hairstylists and fashion designers.

>>3376655
The sword, which overrides the psychic protection around Petlin’s head, pierced through the god’s skull.

The fist of the god once again swirl with arcane energies, but before they can be used to take down the Hero Cian, the energy discharges into the ground.

The shield around the arena falters, the power of the egg overpowering the energies of a god without a vessel.

Infernal laughter can be heard from all directions, as unreality loses its order.

The Creatures which surrounded the arena cease their fighting, and instead look towards Cian.

The Daemons attacks, waves upon waves of psychic energies made manifest in the world that should not have been.

Cian can only hope that he can escape this realm.

>>3376724
Cian looks in disbelief at the dead false God. As he expected the mashift arena breaks down and after hearing a Daemonic laughter the Daemons rush towards Cian.

He hoists up the God's corpseand turns off the Uwuin Egg as daemons swarm him finally he activates his sword and uses his one-per day spell to punch a whole back into reality.

He and the Emperors appear back in reality with 500 or so Daemons swarming out into reality into the Mesian Capital before the rift in realities closes up.

Cian pulls up the God's corpse by it's neck as the Daemons run out to wreck havock. All the Mesian forces ithin the Capital get to see a bloodied Cian holding the massacred corpse of what they assumed once to be a God.

DIPLOS:
Knowing where the cyclopses are and the ERS are emissary are sent to the respective locations to talk.
Also, an emissary is sent to the mainland to talk to the people of tarn, old friends that they are and find out what's happening.

>>3377030
Cian unceremoniously drops the God to the ground and proceeds to slaughter the Daemons, but not before they take a few chunks of the God's body.

At this point Cian would try to force a surrender uppon the Mesians as the battle resumes.

>>3377077
Soldiers both friend and foe around Cian drop dead as the last daemon, a horrid feminine creature of plague, drops dead, a horrible gaseous liquid oozing out of its body.

Others who did not die begin to suffer under the most horrible circumstances, the vile plague spreading from the corpses of the dead and infected.

The college is in disarray as the Soul Circuit reaches critical failure, Oxomo, chief soul technician among them reaches into his pocket, pulling out a sacrificial knife.

Along with his 99 collegues they storm the control room.

They lashe out against their fellow collegers, killing those who were supposed to stop the soul circuit from imploding.

As they get out of the capital the surviving forces and librarians are surrounded. Cian does not play arround anymore and so don't the high priests anyone trying to escape or resist will be killed on the spot.

K i will put every single detail i can.
----

For whatever reason the tutors seems scared of questions, and the diplomats and mages where just left with the royal kid. After barely one sentence on the small creature he started being rather aggressive and violent, putting in almost half of is words the name of the princess. Rather disturbing, it will be noted.
Not giving us any information is rather suspicious, and the creature is controlled in our realm by observation and some simple spells. What it results is not much but the creature is anything but adaptable to our land, and it could probably wound the princess just on touching. Still something could be done afterall is property of Eide now. What the prince said is rather odd. Noted as well.
----

Eide just finish to have a nice laugh, closing one of the two small books given by Lady Iderri. The calderian crown is informed that for sometime the princess will be required to do a new education, so the visits could be slightly less. We should inform when such period will end.

>>3371894
With less pilgrims, and respecting the conditions things are better for a small time. the passants pass on the pilgrim path and some seems violent . If anyone does something wrong they will be send back, since the conditions need to be respected. The path of pilgrims seems a failure, a great one at that. The uwuin are asked if they prefer to simply end it, since it s evident that it s not working. With new fleets it should be easier to ship the pilgrims south and north, and the travel is still not easy.
--
pilgrims are on the pilgrim path going for their pilgrimage and they just see some few types of people. Not something just added now.
--

>>3371948

With the new agressive way show by the pilgrims, the promises of the Uwuin of not being violent seems nothing but their old lies.
In the first time of receiving gifts from a people that has scream of extermination and promised to kill anyone on their lands, the nobles houses upon receiving them from army messangers prefer to give it to the mages of Sotr.

the mages maybe will do some research about it, if they are order to do so.

-----

The book "Acid, Agressive and Violent" becomes a great success thanks to is simple comical narrative and descriptions. Even if many tell is just too nice and kind. Others writers intrigued by taking such arguments in this way write other books on the same way.

attention for one

Sotr Queden wields the Helm of Void in Sotrania, in the star chamber and sit on the throne of peace.

this location and the throne will give some help not cancel effects. some help that s all. remember that they are not immense things and are just in Sotrania.

>>3375486

Snimdeck would seem to still be very interested in the stories, and would try to get information on both this evil god they struck down and on the conflict that apparently happened within their life time. It did explain a few of the strange things that had happened earlier for one. Regardless, his interest seems to make him essentially the main fey that the priests refer to, and with some of his help and his curiosity being somewhat infectious to some of the lesser fey, a small group of them seem to try and figure out their faith and any holy books that they are given. Its a fairly small group, and its clear that most don't really understand it, but there are a few who seem to actually be what one could consider as a convert, though, only a few of these few are what one would call devout.

>>3376522

>>Action One
Continuing with the military theme of work, the Lesser Fey military is split into essentially two categories, Thin Spikers and Razor Swordsfey. The Thin Spikers use what their name implies, a thin spike of steel designed for piercing, their job to deliver a single, devastating blow to an enemy and then fly away, only retrieving the Thin Spike they used if it would be safe to do so. Meanwhile, Razor Swordsfey simply are given razor like swords about three times the size of a Lesser Fey's body and the Razor Swordsfey's job is simply to fly at a enemy and deliver a quick slash before moving on past them and going after another target, never stopping to fight any particular individual. Obviously, they are also drilled on keeping a decent distance away from eachother when doing attacks, along with accuracy and precision. Technically speaking though, there are also Fey Lancers and Fey Razor Blademasters, who are basically just the lesser fey who have dedicated themselves to the art of defending their small home.

>>Action Two
Meanwhile, work on the grand capitol building continues, with the designers starting to try and brainstorm up a name, some suggestions like Cafoddwol Castle or The Carved Charming Ceder & Citrus Citadel among other things. Only one person suggested it just be called the Capitol building, but that idea was shot down very fast. In the end it is decided to be called the Carved Capitol Palace of Cafoddwol so the name isn't too long but still sounds nice and unique and describes the building. Speaking of, the construction starts getting plenty of intricate carvings and writing, some of which the Fey who wrote them don't understand but know they didn't just write it because it looks nice, and it leaves them a bit confused...Either way, the building is starting to take shape...

>>3376996

>>Diplomancy and Lawmancy
One of the Fey, a Fey noble to be exact, is sent over to go and check on the people who ended up not too far away from them. They were named Clenkkom, sometimes nicknamed "Lucky" by his friends due to the simple fact that he was, well, lucky...Regardless, he seemed fairly calm, though very curios and analytical about everything he saw before even arriving at the outskirts of the settlement that started so close to his own nation state. Still, he was chosen for the job because Holly, the fairy who should have been sent, was to afraid to go over and so they picked the first person at least semi qualified for the job, and it was him. While not having as well of a way in words, nor the ability to fly being a chaun and not a fairly, he wasn't afraid, just more curios than anything else...Still, once he arrived at the entrence to the settlement, he'd say to the first person he saw "Ho! Can you lead me to your king or queen? I wish to speak with them about important things." It really didn't matter who they where, even if they were a peasant...He was clearly not the most well versed in social structures of other nations...then again, it wasn't like any other fey were either...

>>3378198
the emissary says we were taken in a storm during the night. THe entomacers came and slaughtered our people. We come to establish ties of friendship and begin a trade route. Also, do you still have the sage we left with you so long ago?
>>3378371
The narsic look at the fey, and with a brandish of his hands welcome him. We have no true king but we have a council. I can see that you are a creature of noble stature and will take you to them so that you may speak.

>>3378398

Clenkkom was pleased to be able to be lead to this council. Maybe it wasn't too different from what the leaders of the fey had, after all there was a counsel, even if it just consisted of Liri's closest advisers and that one fey who founded that one city, Kasertsterne if they remembered the name of the city right, and Caraway if they remembered that fey queens name. Still, he'd go with the person who was taking them to the council, looking at the city as they wandered by, it was quite a bit different from their home. It was fairly bland, even if it had a few bits of metal decorum, though it did look efficient. Personally, they disliked how much emphases was put on the aesthetics at the expense of efficiency of some of the things in Cafoddwol, but that didn't mean they wanted everything to be bland like this. Chauns like him always knew there was a balance, and it generally showed with the smiths of both weapons and tools, being made to be efficient but still adding a fancy touch to them to make them look nice. Maybe these people were on the opposite side of the spectrum? Regardless, there also was other strange things that he didn't really understand entirely, but maybe he'd learn later.

Regardless, he was lost in thought, and likely would remain that way by the time he reached the council, but shortly after arriving he'd snap out of it once one of them or the person leading them there spoke.

Dorfen War:
Well, that wasn't nearly as effective as planned. The commander is attempting to draw up plans for a second attack when the faemancers assigned to them abruptly attempt to leave. The commander halts them and is rapidly appraised of the situation. They are convinced to allow one last portal to the capital, which the Tarnish commander uses to meet with the leaders of the citadel. An agreement is reached where the city technically is absorbed by the Tarns to allow for the Tarnish army to provide defense. The Tarnish capital is appraised of the situation.The rest of the army remains at their original positions.

Turn 1: Tarnish AS borrow arrows from their archer colleagues and begin taking potshots at the disarrayed dwarven forces. With their preternatural strength and accuracy, even an ordinary arrow can be shot with enough force to pierce armor. Focus is placed on assassinating the dwarven commander and other leadership types

>>3377819
"You can have your islands back. The towns and cities infrastructure are mostly fine. Only about 217 people, mostly soldiers, died. Then again, that's probably a lot of people for you. We only ask to be allowed a embassy in Nestana, but we understand if you say no."

>>3378492
Diplo stuff:
The dwarves are notified by the Tarnish capital that The city of Idyllic Mount is now under Tarnish control. They are informed that whatever feud they had with the Calderians is over, and advised to move their armies back to dwarven lands. The dwarves are also requested to allow passage of a defensive force through their borders.
Two full armies, 10,000 men strong each, are dispatched by Battalmin and Elwenmin respectively, using boats to get as close to Idyllic Mount as possible. They hide their true size and nature by gathering up veils of morning fog, and march with haste to reinforce their colleagues at Idyllic Mount.

Action 1: The inquisition grows larger still, and the first professional inquisitors are dispatched. They do inquisitiony shit, and root out the heretics. Tarns are reminded that all True Tarnish report resident heretics when they see them. Any Followers that did not go with the Uwuin are rooted out and destroyed(pilgrims and travelers are fine).

Action 2: A Tarnshield is commissioned of fine cold iron. Made with haste, it is not of the same quality as the Tarnsblade or Tarnsuit, but is still quite light and powerful and is able to synergize with the other two items in the same way. The finest swordsman in the Battalmin army is granted all three before being dispatched.

>>3376522
1. More territory to the east of Deran is occupied by the Conclave.
2. More colony expeditions are sent to the Western islands. A port by the name of Zerl is established as well.
>>3378589
A few of the Chosen help True God worshipers escape the Inquisitors of the Tarn, and those same Chosen send words of warning to the villages and hidden networks of Chosen that still operate of this possible threat. If they are content to remain in their lands, then there will be no issues. If not, then another Jihad might be a very real possibility.

Underground, the remaining traitors are readying themselves for the release.

100 are they, and the release of the first true Warp Rift in reality along with the 2 million souls which will soon be within the god's grips should probably be enough for each of them to be blessed with the powers of the Dark Gods.

The support machines finally die, crushed by the uncaring hands of the traitors, a hundred and one captured Cllegers are lined up in front of the beaming machine, each one is sacrificed to the dark gods, starting off a tiny warp rift within the glorious machine.

The final back up soul generators overheat, each one blowing up with a furious blast, the rift expands, each second thousands are sucked into horrifying torment.

The group chants, vying for the Gods attention first Oxomo is absorbed by the expanding rift, then each other is absorbed.

Oxomo has been ascended.

-------

The college is surrounded, the horror of the enemy, this "Cian" stands in front of them, his claims of slaying Petlin are unbelievable, for how could the eternal be slain?

He barks his "terms of surrender", all of which can be boiled down to "submit to us".

From behind him a demon of legend emerges, from the temple, where he sent his spies to destroy heaven.

In the wake of the Demon emerges a growing rift, obviously what the beast had planed, though it's surprise to the event behind it is confusing.

Armies of horrors spew forth, heralded by the dozens of what look vaguely like the spies.

I raise my weapon at the invader and shout; "I am Huracan, son of this once great empire, you caused this Demon, and we will never kneel to your will!" and fire, a flurry of advanced prototype ammunition is released, barely scathing the creature.

My lover, my wife Ixchel, leading her fellow priestesses, cast their spell, obscuring our presence towards the evil creatures.

Now we must escape, to Tumben-Hytza, where we can reconstitute our empire before it is consumed by Evil.

>>The Kamadani Cyclopes

>Mercenaries rout with the Uwuin and try to save lives of both friend and foe
>Cyclopean Fashion

First action will be covered in the mercenaries section. Basically trying to get my guys out, and save as many others as possible along the way. Maybe a dinosaur or two if we can pile a bunch of people on its back.

With the Gorgon envoys, come men of culture and artistic pride. While the cyclopes had never been particularly vain or interested in their physical presentation, many appreciate and adore the craftsmenship and artistic qualities of the Gorgon fashion, and to a lesser extent their hairstyling. This causes a renaissance in hobbies involving weaving, clothing design, and general fashion. Heavily inspired by gorgon fashion, these cyclopean styles of fashion mixed their and the gorgon's styles of dress to better fit their large physique. Of note, cyclopean fashion puts more emphasis on the clothing itself, rather than the ones wearing it. This is both to highlight the craftmenship of the attire, as well as distract one's eyes from the cyclopes himself, which many cyclopes appreciated.
Hairstyling was met more pragmatically, usually to keep hair cleaner and out of their faces. Some cyclopes though, mainly the ones in companous, started trying to dread their hair in similar ways to the snakes on the gorgon's heads.

>>3377183
>>3377203
>>Cyclopean Mercenaries
The cyclopean mercenaries would have resumed fighting along with the rest of the Uwuin and Mesian troops when the cease-fire broke, until Cain came back out again to proclaim the god-king dead. Then, when all hell broke loose, and both the mesians and uwuin troops started fleeing, the cyclopes did the same. While many others were simply running for their lives, or only assisting their nearby brothers-in-arms, the cyclopes tried to save as many as they could. Spread out along the retreat-path back to the flying castle, the cyclopes were in perfect positions to shepard and guide as many troops back to relative safety as possible. Once the more able-bodied people had made it through, the cyclopes began picking up bodies of the fallen-but-not-yet-dead by the arm-full, and running them back to the uwuin caslte. If possible, the primes and alura seers would try to pacify a couple dinos and pile people on its back to help transport them.

Polemistís was the only cyclops relatively close to the fortress when Cain came back out. She had begun assisting the Uwuin captains in the rout, while also trying to maintain the fore of the escape route for Cain.

Kefalés had been told to wait in the flying castle after helping carry a few injured back. She walked up to the top of one of the battlements to see what was going on. There, the Elsight Seers swapped their eyesight again, and were beholden to all the crazy ass shit going down. With little to no context of what was going on, they could just sit there and watch as reality was ripped a new one.

>>3379162
>>The Kamadani Cyclopes

>Diplo
>>3376697
Like was mentioned in the fashion action, cyclopean impressions of the gorgon fashion was well received. They were heavily inspired and soon a small but dedicated set of cyclopean weavers, seamstresses, tailors, and otherwise start making their own works to show to the gorgons. Cyclopean fashion mainly focuses on the craftsmenship of the clothing and less on the showmanship of the person wearing it, or attempts to completely distract the audience from the person entirely.

>>3376996
The return of Narsic vessels after an extended absence is met with a warm, if concerned, welcome. The cyclopes are informed of their situation and extend their sympathies, while also alerting the Narsics of any shipwrecked kinsmen that might've made their way to Companous one way or another.
The Cyclopes are willing to reinstate the trade agreement with the Narsics if desired, Iron for Iron clockwork golems. Or to commission a new good if they so desire.

>>3378801
Except we were engaged in battle with them how would we not notice people we were fighting turning arround and escaping.

Cian said that no resistance will be tollerated before Huracan can finnish his sentence a superheated fragment of Carion'dug explodes is head.

"Your God-King had me fight him in his domain a domain filled with those Daemons. He was no God, merely a wizard who put in protections for the day he is defeated and this was one of the protections."

Cians turns back to see the Mesians attacking the army of Daemons. For a momment he considers slaughtering them all for refusing to surrender... but some sort of kinship towards them overcomes him.

He decides to let the Mesians fight the Daemons while his army retreats bahind them.

> Action 1: Boats
The West Calderian Grand Fleet, Private West Calderian Boats, what remains of the East Calderian Navy and hired Emi'an boats arrive after many hours at the shores of the island.

Cian Loads up his army, but it's clear he brought way more boats than needed.

"You may be devilworshippers, but you are still human. If you wish to survive I will help you evacuate on our boats."

> Diploaction

Cian still wants to get a peacedeal out of the stubborn Mesians. The only people who have their God killed, Capital Consumed by Daemons and still refuse peace.

This entire Mesian conflict had left the eldritch nation in Turmoil feeling the tremors that occured. Feeling the shockwave of their leader flinching as they realize the full extent of what has happened.

Eldritch Involvement had been mostly via the Sea. Via the giant crab that assisted Cian's forces and their was unfortunatly one thing they needed to do in the homeland.

>>Action 1

Cian's sword shakes, the ribbon quivers and it's obvious enough for any to see that their next action will take a lot out of them.

The council sizes him up. They can feel that he is being of magic and one of respect among his people. After a few minutes one a bit to the left of the center of the table begins to speak, his voice is calculating and cautious, but not cold, "We have a few questions, who are you? How did you find us? Do you come as a speaker for your people? And finally, Do you come in peace and Alliance or with some darker intent?"

The narsic, overjoyed at the return of their homeland readily agrees to the agreement, "Thank you for return our homeland, an embassy in Nestana will be fine. Understand though, that that is the only place your people will be allowed to go on our island, I'm sure you understand."

overjoyed at the presence of more narsic survivors the emissary meets with the survivors, around 50 narsic refugees. The narsic agree to reinstate the trade with the Cyclops, as the Cyclops make wonderful golems.

>The golems are made so that they can not be tampered with by people untrained in opening the golems without breaking them beyond repair. If a nonexperienced person attempt to open up a narsic golem the golems inside will melt, destroying the golem and making it unable to be repaired

50 of these golems are given to the uwuin and the uwuin are told to feed it oil and it should be a steady worker without problems. ANd with that the golems are handed over, finishing the transaction.

>>3379348
Their is a look of...shock on the undead elfs face that the Narsics still remembered anything about the Rebirther. But, their voice rushes forth clear enough.

>>"The Hero, the Rebirther fell bravely in battle. Lady Elizabeth, savior Elizabeth leads us and keeps us running. Our land is far from safe for outsiders dear friend and Elizabeth is....very busy right now. I will deliver what you wish to say to her if it is wanted.

>>3379366
That is sad news indeed, tell Elizabeth that we are back and wish to speak with her at some point, and deliver this to her," he tosses the elf a roll of rastcatcha, "We will come back, talk with Elizabeth in a while. IF there are any resources you need we can provide them, along with golems that can fight for you."

>>3379377
>>"....The Narsic's turns towards friendship and bravery in the war of sorrow is still remembered. Please, be well our friends."

With that the elf moves to head on home back to Avalon, simple and clean with a roll of weed in hand.

>>3379380
With that, the emissary thanks him and flys off

>>3379291
From the spawn-pits at Deran, and Northplace, a great buzzing erupts. It starts as a low droning for miles around, but as the massive, Tens of thousands strong swarm grows closer to Avalon, the Droning noise becomes deafening. The Buzzing reaches a pitch as the Ripplers and Hoppers circle above Avalon for miles around. They're just kinda sitting there though...

>>3379455

>>Tendrils smack the beings out of the sky by the thousands, erratic and haphazard chitin explodes, bodys are crushed only for the bugs to come to what seems like a completely open clearing. Where the city of Avalon was rumored to be their is nothing. Just a road that seemingly stops, perhaps the undead really have vanished?

>>Inside The Rebirthers Mountain.

A faint light, agasint the rebirthers corpse, her head tilted, green hair cascading down.

A special herb glinting before a deep inhale as it's smoked and the world comes alive. Elizabeth's eye's gleam and shimmer, lavender energys pulsing through her veins.

A shudder rushes through her, a power, a strength, as the floor cracks beneath her feet. The buzzing of wings in her ears, the rising, the stirring of countless undead once more.

The feeling of growing connected to the tendrils of the land, a spell leaves a mind gleaming with joy.

>>Name:BugZapper.
>>Type:Eldritch Destruction Magic.
>>Appearance:Glimmering inbetween each tendril around the fair city of Avalon, each mountain sized tendril full of Eldritch Energy, it appears like Lighting, a horrific force of energy.
>>Purpose:The Repurposing of Eldritch tentacles into turrents capable of firing highly conductive Eldritch energys.

>>Arcing like Electricity, with a snap of Elizabeth's fingers, crackling occurs as the swarming bugs all bunched together die in a mere few moments, their organs being flash-fried the moment the energy hit.

>>3379492
"Well, shit."
An entomancer breaks from his control trance.
"Fuck happened?"
Another asks, walking into the room.
"Fucking bug zapper magics. Damn necromancers and their stupid bullshit."
The man sits up, and looks the other in the eyes.
"So, up for a little experimentation?"
"The Standing entomancer gives his friend a cursory glance.
"And what the fuck do you mean by th-"
The man is cut off.
"Lightning proof Chitin of course!"
The man yells, then muttering something about crush proof being a retarded and unrealistic idea *Martin*.
The standing man rolls his eyes.
"And you really think that could work? Seriously?"
The sitting man gets up and grabs his fellow mage by the shoulders.
"Of course I think it will work! And get this, their tentacles are guarding an area where the roads just stop! What kinda retards do they think we are?! They're just making their city invisible to the naked eye. It's so blatantly obvious something is there."
The man runs off.
"Mark my words Mark, I WILL HAVE MY LIGHTNING PROOF Buuuuugs!!!!!"
The man yells as he sprints to the birthing chambers.

Actions
>1.ERS has found ingredients in the junglesand forests to mimic the blackpowder invented by the stout people. The combination lites up and makes a small puff of explosion, but not enough to send it to the sky. They research ways to carry the mixture to the sky.
>2.The project in the jungle was coming along nicely. Preparations were complete and now the ritual can begin. A single seed is planted.

ERS sends a trade envoy to the stout people;hoping they would sell their blackpowder.
>>3378398
"Well, it'll be nice to trade again, but your friendship with the Corruption does not bode well with us. We will reestablish trade routes but it will limited to resources. As for your sage, he has been relaxing in Nan;sculpting figurines."

>>3376996
"The Narsics! Ah what joy to see you walk the earth one once more. Where have you been all these years?"

Action 1: A new breed of mercenary appears in the black markets of Elwenmin. Sporting lithe chain mail and daggers of cold iron and mithril, these killers hire themselves out for anyone willing to pay the price.

Action 2: Another attempt is made to create an explosive similar to blasting powder. By combining brimstone, charcoal, and saltpeter, a very explosive analogue is found.

>>3379615
I am saddened to hear that you will not accept us with the open arms, but we will happily begin our trade again.

>>3379635
We where outcast from our land by invasions, we have recently regained our homeland. How are you, my old friends?

>>3379339
I don't archive them

>>3379615
Arriving at the Avkurg canal, the strange serpents are greeted warily.
(Skipping dumb first contact stuff)
The dwarves will trade Dwarven Blasting Powder (Magnirv) in kegs roughly the size of a dwarven torso to the ERS for three gold bars or equivalent each. They would explain the properties of the powder to them, being that they can produce an explosion under pressure, but without, they would rather create intense heat, spreading out and creating fires to anything flammable within range.

>>3379640
“Ah, I hate when that happens. In any case, glad you’re back! We ended up beating the eldritch so that was pretty sweet, and I heard whispers on the street that East Calderia collapsed. There were some weird explosions, the Uwuins went to go check those out. And, uh, that’s about it! Oh wait, we also got this really sweet sword from the dwarves, you should go see if they have any more.”

>>3379761
"That's a dope sword. We will go talk to the dwarfs right now. By the way, do you have any cool technology we can learn or buy? If you want we have a plant that enhances your magic ability that we can sell to you. Here is a free sample." With that, he tossed a roll of raschatcha, "It makes anyone feel great. but give it to a mage and their power will enhance tenfold."

>>3379678
The bargain is agreed upon though a little hefty. Oh, well. Any price is worth it when it's in the pursuit of art. This trade further improves Gorgian style blackpowder and tactics. They send a ship of gold to the stout folk in exchange for the powder and information.

>>3379774
Uh, we got cold iron, arrows, basically the same shit really. Oh! The boys at the capital just worked out a new powder that blows up really nice. Wait. Maybe I wasn’t supposed to tell you that. One sec!”

He consults with a mirror.

“Ok, they say I can set up a trade deal, 1lb gunpowder for 3/4 lbs of weed. The only caveat is that if you make anything cool with it, you would have to show us too. Cool?”

>>3379801
"that level of production is not possible yet. we can do half a pound for pound of gunpowder. And you half to wait a turn while we set up the infrastructure to produce in mass."

>>3379801
A compromise is reached, 1lb gunpowder for 1/2 pound ras. This trade occurs mostly through private sellers, and a lively powder/Ras trade develops through Elwenmin.

>>3379831
slight edit, while the tarnish people use private sellers, the ras is managed by the narsic government.

>>3379831
Dwarwenmin, not Elwenmin.

-New Empire-
>Civilization/Race Name:
Hytzan Chaos Empire
>Capital Name:
Hytza
>Brief Summary of Nation:
As of the Death of the Mortal form of Petlin and the destruction of his 2 million dead a powerful chaos gate has opened.
Lead by The First Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided, Xolotl and his cohort of 33 Exalted of Chaos undivided alongside 11 Exalted of each God, (totalling 99 exalted in whole) this empire of true horror seeks to convert every soul to the worship of the 6 Gods.
>Optional Fluff:
Due to the chaos gate in Hytza Daemonic corruption is spreading, currently a large portion of the Hytzan City has fallen to chaotic corruption due to proximity to the Chaos gate, though many seek to run away from this corruption.
--New Tile Type--
Name: Warp Touched Land
Color: Muddy-Rustic Red
(pictured above in Hytza)
effects: Daemons are at their most powerful here, a single lesser Daemon could perhaps take on a whole mortal army if they had their god's favor, along with this Chaotic corruption here overrides other corruption and anti chaos measures to a large extent.
Warp based magic is ten fold more powerful here.

>>3379968
Due to lore disputes I'm remaking this

>>3379968
Due to lore Disputes and how much larger Greys empire (in population, despite a large list of reasons why his empire would be populationally weak while mine was massive in population) was then I first thought I'm splitting everything up.
New city states:
Each siege failed, or was abandoned except for I.Sea due to the combined forces of the Caimenborn and the Grey Priests, due to this every Calderian City has split into its own city state, each one focusing on their own issues, still holding their great hatred for the Mesian Peoples.
The Mesian empire, with the loss of their god, capitol and college have also split up, due to the depopulation of Hytza and its rural areas the island, alongside what used to be Ba'al Hooche and another small island are uninhabited.
The confederation of Cholmigaah has been born (CoC for short), encompasing all western mesian holdings plus I.Sea.
They desire to accept the protection of the dwarves, due to their close bond of friendship with them.
The other two are the Theocracy of Nahuzan and the Mesian Central Reminant (officially the Mesian Empire)
------
>>3379283
The Mesian College attempt to fight back, but all are easily slaughtered by Cian.
-------
The rest of Hytza is in Chaos, literally, many are ripped to shreds by the insanely powerful daemons, fueling the ever growing warp rift. Much of Hytza has already been corrupted.

The forces of the Uwuin are forced outside of the city as the toxins and horrors which now stalk Hytza are simply not worth the trouble.

Refugees head north, to Tumben-Hytza, and now the Uwuin forces have a choice to make follow them, and exact a more permanent revenge, or stop as they have clearly crippled this evil empire for at least the next thousand years.

In cities around the world, that every civilization can access it, a tavern opens, "The Lost Scholar". Within, a silver haired man with an iron circlet offers rest, refreshment, and a kind word to any in need of such. He and his 4 wives somehow seem wiser than their beggardly appearance warrants.

>>3380106
All Mesian forces retreat to their nearby cities.
Nahuzan and the southern states send diplomats to declare a white peace towards their former enemies.
>>3376522
(diplo) (CoC)
A diplomat sends a message to the Dwarven King, it reads as follows.
"Our former capitol, Hytza has been raised, we wish to become autonomous tributary subjects of your great Empire, we have been weakened by these far off wars, and wish to not be destroyed in whole by malevolent foreign forces.
We will give a portion of our manpower and tax revenue to you, my hopefully new king, numbering 20% of annual taxes and Levies during times of peace to at least 40% during times of war, we wish through this tribute that we can gain your protection from invaders, while we will in turn aid in your wars, whether they be offensive or defensive.
We will also accept any trade deal that your nation proposes, as even poor trade with your mighty empire is better than none.

>>3380103
The Uwuin and Cian still demand the same surrender-deal as they did before. Though they accept being unable to exert the demands on CoC.

Cian expresses that there is no desire for revenge, but raids will continue untill the Theocracy and Empire accept surrender.

Action 1

Sotr starts a ritual for the creation of a great magical barrier, while inside the chamber of stars and sit on the throne of peace. He is helped by other mages too.


Action 2

The freeblades emerge.
The warlike traditions from the ancient tribes remain, and veterans alongside youngs are in search of fights and glory.

With them also the generations of freemen and auxiliaries that have integrate in the realm leaving behind their culture.

Cor decide to organize them. They will only serve for our friends fighting alongside them. If there is a repayment of honor to one of the realms that as a friendship with us they will have a sufficient payment or we will pay for them if required.

The freeblades don t have any problem with that, since they would watch themself to fight with someone that would betray them after a second.


There are two particular freeblade companies that become famous more than others:

The Wind Riders, a fast skirmishing force that prefers to make multiple attacks leaving shortly after.
Made up by light archers, scouts, light cavalry and eagle riders. With the auxiliaries being made by light infantry. Few mages.
Old Warmth Fists, an heavy force made for deliver an incredible blow to the enemy. They are ready even for sieges and take on the battlefield warmachines as well. Mostly heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, scouts and archers. Auxiliaries are divided between heavy & light infantry. Several catapults and ballista, decent amount of mages.
>>3380127

Lady Iderri is send south once again. The previous talks do to the war where simply impossible to start. She travel south to reach the city of Tukaah and later Cholmigaah.

Cor wishes to understand if the war is still going, and offers trade and future help in the reconstruction of the two citys.

If any jackals or bandits appears an army could be send for deal with great groups.

The ambassador hopes to find familiar faces in such destruction.

Too much stuff to read in so little time.

>>3378589
A dwarven lord is notified of the Tarnish annexation.
Confused, they send messengers to the western siege camp to both inform them of what they've been told and to learn more of the situation.

Arriving at the camp to see the dwarves hiding themselves in their fortifications from arrow fire, while firing crossbows and artillery back at the attackers.
A messenger waits for lulls in volleys to locate and speak with a dwarven officer.
After a brief explanation of the situation, the messenger then does as he did to enter, and flees the camp, meeting up with his comrades.
To the north, the invaders would make journey impossible, so they return home to inform the Mountain Lords.

Naturally as they return home they warn merchants along the way, eventually leading to Lords issuing a cease on travel in that direction.
Trade to the north is restricted, guards being set up at the wall to prevent anyone to travel in that direction.
Additionally, a ship is sent from Lake Vorak to the northern canal territories to inform them as well.
A quick discussion among the Lords leads raising of warriors from the mountain homes.
Two large armies are mustered and sent north where one splits off to besiege Dwarwenmin, while the other makes it way to the western siege camp. (I'll rename them later)
>Dwarves March

Trapped dwarves recover from the attack and begin to ration their supplies and repair and reinforce any structural damage before they do anything else.
>Recovery
>>3378328
Another decision is made among the Lords.
They offer a king's ransom in Mesian gold to the Elves should they declare war on Tarn.
Though not ideal, a mercenary army would be requested if war is not an option


(I have more posts to reply to, but this is what I have for now)

>>3379359
edit for autism. Instead of regaining their homeland, the rascatcha is engineered so that the weed cant be to tamper with outside fo smoking it or using as a herb. It is impossible to grow without narsic knowledge. This allows it to be traded without worries about if getting stolen.

The narsic survivors have decided to retake their homeland. They bring tons of weed with them and fly to their homeland, as they fly over the call out to the survivors to join them in regaining their freedom. When they meet the bugs they have accumulated about 30000 mages all of which have lit up. they use wind to push the bugs out to the sea, drowning the ones that need the ground.

>>3380553
dude weed lmao

>>3379348

He would have snapped out of his train of thought before the council spoke purely because of the time it took for them to actually speak in the first place, though he remained silent and didn't know what to say for a few seconds before one of the people on the council spoke. "Clenkkom, though sometimes I'm called lucky. I followed the directions I was told and it really wasn't too hard to find you anyway, even if I can't fly. You aren't that far from Breksos. Holly isn't here, she was to afraid, so yes. And the former. I'm from the Queendom of Cafoddwol, what is this place and your nation called?" He probably should have probably tried to properly introduce himself the second he arrived in front of the council but it wasn't like he could change the past. Honestly he had a lot of questions, but it probably would be better to answer more of there question than ask at this moment.

>>3380575
we are exiles of our homeland. We are known as narsics. Our lives revolve around homing our magic and technology. But we ask you. Do you come in peace and do you care for an alliance?"

>>3380553
From underneath the mages, Thousands of warriors emerge, hacking, stabbing and slashing them to pieces. Tankers emerge from the earth as well to spew acidic flame wherever is seen fit. In total, the number of bugs killed by the mages is around 5,000. That being said, around 15,000 remain. Ripplers spit shards of corrosive chitin spikes at any who oppose them, and hoppers impale and carry off as many Narsic soldiers as they can.

>>3380588
Around 1000 narsics are killed, this enrages the rest of the soldiers, with that the narsics create a ball of fire around them, causing any bugs that come near them to burst into flames. Then they charge into the mass of bugs, disintegrating the center of the mass.

>>3380586

"I said the former, so, yes. I'm a Chaun, a noble one to be exact, and more Chauns like me and Fairies as well are back at Breksos. Our lives revolve mostly around magics, so that's a similarly between us...But yeah, an alliance would be nice." He really probably could go about this better...But hopefully he was good enough for government work...

>>3380599
The ripplers, safely out of range, are sent to prioritize the now shielded mages, while the other bugs remain as fodder/a distraction. More holes pop up and swallow Narsic soldiers down, killing many.

>>3380616
The center council member claps his hands. "Wonderful, we can give you sages to form your magic. But I feel as though your people have great craftsmanship abilities. I see it in your clothes. If you could send us craftsmen to improve our technology and magic we can do the same for you."

>>3380618
The narsics whip up a massive tornado, sucking all of the flying bugs into a massive tornado, then they concentrate their fire into the tornado, cooking the bugs on the spot.

>>3380506
why is the eastern and western halves of CoC divided

>>3380506
>1.With the stout people style of blackpowder, the Gorgons were able to perfect their version! They research ways to create detailed and beautiful explosions in the sky.
>2.A divine sprout in the jungles begins to grow;feedfeeding on corruption and purifying all land near it even more.

>>3380636
With this, they below, leave our land and never come back. If you care for more loss, we can give it. If not send an emissary!

>>3380127
Dwarves are saddened to hear the fate of their close trade partners, they accept them into the bulwark of the Dwarven Realm.

As the dwarves are currently at war, the taxes for the people would be an immediate 40% tax, however, not even dwarves are this rapacious, and so they instead lower the tax to 10% for a short period so the people may recover from the war.

Mithril for Mesian wood would be established and skaven slaves sent if aid in farmland is required.


(I don't know what narsic is doing but if steel if fine with it then whatever, but in the future he shouldn't be doing crazy attacks like he's been doing)

>>3380506
Unfortunately for the messenger, dwarves are not the most stealthy of creatures and the area around the camp is not exactly the sort of environment he is used to operating in (open forests and roads). Furthermore, there is little reason for this dwarf to expect any hostility, so he does little to remain hidden as he walks along the path. The constant crunching of leaves and loud complaining alerts the army (already on guard due to previous dwarven treachery), and the messenger is rapidly apprehended. After being checked for any weapons or explosives, he is brought before the Tarnish commander, who looks none too happy to see him.

>Begin conversation with dwarves
>Until this is completed, the other parts of that post remain in limbo. No country should act on them until this is completed.

Needless to say, Clenkkom would be quite pleased with himself at being able to make the first successful diplomatic mission to another nation of not only any Chaun, but any fey of Cafoddwol. The deal would be accepted and the exchange of a few Chaun Smith's, Fairy Tailors, and Craftsfey heading over to help out in exchange for some of the Narsics sages, though the exchange wasn't going to happen right away, it would likely be a very good one once Clenkkom managed to get back and inform his superiors what happened. Regardless he likely was feeling quite proud of himself.

>Action One
The work on the Carved Capital Palace of Cafoddwol would continue and go fairly well, the foundation and all walls finished now with only the roof and inferior needed to be worked on before it was finished as a grand monument and a great gathering place. Of course, once news arrived that some kind of Sages were going to come soon, the fey working on the palace were quite excited with what help they might provide. Of course, some were also interested in how the Narsics were going to be like seeing as soon enough they'd be living with them for a while at least.

>Action Two
A Fey Queen, the only one currently of the element of fire, who calls themselves Pyre assembled a group of Fey Lancers and Fey Razor Blademasters to assemble the Firebrand Warriors, which at the moment only had a handful of the very small minority of actual fire fey. Regardless they managed to gather a sizeable band of around a thousand soldiers, made up almost entirely of lesser fey with only a handful of noble fey and then Pyre herself, and have started flying off in search of a conflict to join. Needless to say they aren't likely to cause much disruption to Cafoddwol, though it is a interesting turn of events, and possibly an opportunity for anyone looking for a mercenary company.

>>3380962
Since there was never any covert operation, and there was no Tarnish army south of the dwarven siege camp, there would have been no one to apprehend.

In case it wasn't already known, the dwarves would tell all nations they know of that they are now protecting the Mesians.

>>3381188
Precisely. Give the fact that no attempt at stealth was made, the dwarven messengers were quite obvious to everyone in the vicinity. Thus, they were captured.

>>3381290
The apprehension of the dwarves is retconned for the various reasons stated in discord.

>>3381298
This retcon is strongly disputed by the Tarns and should not be taken as fact until both parties agree.

>>3381309
Dorf has stopped responding in chat beyond brainlet emojis, so I'll take that as a sign he's accepted his messengers being captured.
>Conversation with the Dwarves
"What the hell are you doing, skulking behind our lines like that?"

>>3381155
[Cool intro shite]
The Tarn's are willing to supply cold iron swords and armor in exchange for right of first refusal on the mercenaries

>>3381334

Pyre, after having found a willing contractor would be quite happy at having a chance to actually fight and essentially spread the prowess of the Fey in combat...However, upon being offered cold iron weapons and armor, they'd seemingly take a step back before saying "If you wish to give me such things as payment, I advise smelting it down and turning it to steel, or at least keeping it carefully contained in wood, stone, or any other material. I would much rather something else, however...I also would like details on the current state of affairs and what you require of me and my soldiers services." Despite a kind of confident demeanor, she seemed quite orderly...It was probably a bit worrying for the person talking to her considering her wings looked to be fire...as opposed to on fire, though her clothing nor anything flammable nearby seemed to be combusting at least...yet...

>>3381364
"Ah, darn. Sucks, especially since most our army is decked out in cold iron. We'll figure something out though. You said steel? Well, we don' have that, but we have bronze, does that work? Also, I don't want to be rude," he states, furiously brushing sparks off of his jerkin, "But is there a way you could maybe, uh, tone the fire thing down a little?"

>>3381371

"Bronze can work, it can be just as strong as steel and if not and unable to be made into tools it can at the very least be made into nice looking baubles and decorations on other things." Pyre would state before raising an eyebrow at the man seemingly being worried about the sparks. "Don't worry about that. It won't set you alight or ignite anything else unless I want it to...But I'll try to make it so you don't have to worry." After saying this, she'd position her wings a bit further back and they'd seem to almost be stifled a bit, not as large as they were before, though certainly still quite noticeable.

>>The Kamadani Cyclopes

>Discovery of Pigments
>Industrial Clockwork Machines

Short loreposts since its far too late.

With fashion being introduced to cyclopes, the craftsmen and tailors desire for more vibrant and varied colors. Cyclopes begin searching their island for sources of pigments unique to the island.

The basic machines the cyclopes use receive further improvement and costumization. While still as convoluted as ever, and overall bigger than they need to be, these machines are now capable of more labor-intensive tasks and greater output. They still require manual input to keep them running, and are typically used as an extended tool by the head craftsmen.

Expand into the wasteland left behind by the fall of the Empire in the west to bring back the native Calderians back under Calderian rule.

Ba'al-Hooch is also annexed and renamed too:
Cian'dug'thyr.

> Action 2: We wish for peace >>3381051
The Grand fleet arrives at Tuben-Hyatza as also tens of thousands of undead Mesians and Calderians emerge from underwater as the fleet docks at the shore. Cian uses his once per day spell to let Sun Spears fall on the sand tile next to the new Mesian Capital. A massive crater of glass is created there.

"Mesian people! Your transgressions have been dire, but so have been your crimes. Accept surrender or me and my people will be forced to keep attacking you untill you accept peace! We promise to treat you fairly and to help retake your homeland which has been overrun by Chaos. As such we request your surrender.

> Rules of surrender
1. I will pretend the break-off-states don't exist so you can still play full Mesians as Cian might not notice immediatelly. This is mostly being nice OOC
2. In the part thet surrenders worship of Petin gets largely outlawed, but the ban won't be enforced much. It's more of not being permitted to insult the One True Faith.
3. Due to the destruction the reparation demands are dropped and instead you will be rebuilt kinda like Japan. Except with some foreign Churches forcing their way in.
4. Your governament will be demanded to be secular or at least to not follow the worship of Petin.
5. I get to "occupy" that nation and limit stuff done with it for 6 turns
6. West Calderia promises to eventually help retake your homeland from Chaos, as we belive it was like a usicide attack by Petin to create it.

> Otherwise we will raid your capital which can't oppose Cian currently and propose the same deal again.

>>3381463
small diplo, the narsics show the cyclops a steam engine, they don't allow the cyclops to mess with it, but they show the power of automation. An offer is made that if the cyclops share some of their mastery of clockwork the narsics will share how to make a steam engine with them.

“Yeah, they can do some crazy stuff with bronze these days. Have you seen the gates of Dwarwenmin? No? Well, you’ve gotta head out there sometimes. They’re mindblowing. As far as bronze goes, we’ve got 3 tons of the regular stuff, as well as a few other kinds, like crafted bronze, magic-ready bronze and disks exploding with magic.”
He pulls out a bronze-engraved flask to show the quality of craftsmanship.
“Ah shit, should have asked. Do you guys like alcohol? I’m partial to dwarven drinks myself, but we make our own potato based alcohol called kadov.”

An entomancer is sent.
"Alright, listen. We'll give you the islands. The conclave is in preparations for something far larger, and we can't waste resources on keeping these islands. Besides, we have our own islands now. With that, the Conclave relinquishes these islands back to the Narsic, and we'll be fucking off back to Talza now. See ya around."

>Action 1: With the reclamation of the homeland, The narsics set about reclaiming their islands form the bugs, they wipe out any traces of entrances and proceed to claim the rest of the island that has kratamer on it.
>Due to an influx of people an expansion of the easter colony takes place.

Results of an old move. The repopulation program of the eastern colony is a resounding success. The children of the messian slaves are extremely powerfully magically and there is a larger amount of seers in the new population, not to mention the matured faster than the average narsic. The use of magical growth is used now to strengthen the size and magical ability of the narsics.

Action 1: The combination of ras and kadov creates a new drink with odd and counterintuitive properties. This drink has a social and stimulating effect, milder than the strength of full kadov or ras but also without a few of the side effects of either. The new drink, “rasov”, becomes popular in bars around the Tarnish homeland. Variants tailored to Uwuin, Elvish, Dwarven, Narsic, etc., appear in border cities like Elwenmin and Dwarwenmin.

Action 2: The skaven have long been second class citizens at best and actively persecuted at worst. Now they are given a chance to reintegrate into Tarnish society. By converting to the Tarnish faith and enlisting in the Tarnish army, the Skaven can have a chance at living in harnony with the Tarns.

>>3381745
The narsics take a liking to this new drink. The idea of combing kadov with ras had not occurred to them. it becomes a tradition to pop one of these bottles at a child's birth.

"I have never had alcohol, nor do I believe any of the fey under my command. Though I certainly would be willing to try some later. Maybe it could be a bonus for success if I find it something enjoyable. Regardless, I would still like to know what exactly are me and my forces going up against and what is the situation?"

The undead is taken into a great hall of iron and is given a meal and a bed. The book is received happily and it is read. (What does it say?)

Once they do a memory swells into the persons mind, a slightly smiling Elizabeth, looking revitalized, standing strong, eye's gleaming.

Her voice powerful, eldritch magic gleaming through her veins.

>>"Tell me, who are your ally's? You expect them not to assault us first? We've never been the aggressor, you know this. Your offer is insulting."

Fingers splaying together, this tiredness gone, this strength in her bones, this rekindling in her being. This fire that made her shake, her flesh contorting and quivering.

When there was little governing to do, the People enjoyed walking through the Town market. She(no, They, always They. Get it together!) enjoyed the manic consistency of it all, how everything changed and remained precisely the same. They ducked past the candy seller, took a right down a familiar alley--and ran directly into a building. Huh. They could have sworn that that bar hadn't been there yesterday. As they approached the smooth facade, their scepter warmed slightly in their hand. Hmm. There was magic there all right, but so subtle and fine it was near impossible to tell. They took a step back. "The Lost Scholar", eh? Strange name for a tavern. Very strange indeed. There was certainly something to investigate here, and The People were determined to do so. And hey, if nothing else, at least they could get a drink out of it.

>>Let's do some more fucking Diplo motherfucker!

A spell of Teleportation has been prepared by this Eldritch Woman. Pendragon, named after the Draconic race that inhabits the nation of the Eldritch Truth.

Championing for them, a human turned Eldritch, a crown of living metal, armor glistening and gleaming in the faint light as the moon shimmers and she casually walks out of the water, dripping faintly towards an entomantic encampment.

Her voice, serious, simple, holding a bit of amusement, her steps eerily light and graceful. Her body was different through and through underneath her armor she was draconic.

Bone plating, perhaps faintly visible coming from her collar.

>>"Entomancer's, we've wasted enough time in this pointless drivel. Your misinformed and Lady Elizabeth and mineself and the rest of mine nation and your own have to worry much more about literal demons firing slags of metal from the heavens upon people."

Blunt, to the point, she was...tall, nearly nine feet in all honesty staring down at them, an aura of precision, of something orderly. Of emotion, compassion, determination, annoyance. A strange branch of magic, one that had perhaps in the intial meeting with the undead been ignored in favor of the begins appearence and nothing more.

Seeing what they had wanted to see perhaps?

Action 1

The ritual continues with Sotr taking more concentration.


Action 2

The water magic start to be more refined by our mages.
>>3380506

What the dwarfs have tell us as shock us deeply.

How could the people of tarn do that ? The tarn that sacrifice their young army for stop the undead.... why ? Can even exist a reason for attack the noble dwarfs , the ones that where attack in their own home with families and friends at their side ?

For the fact that we have give friendship to them we will not go to war, but if the unjustify attacks will continue against the dwarfs this friendship will not stand.

since we expect that the values that made it in the first place, will be respected. Especially during the war the dwarfs with their battles did defend even the tarnish, and later with our arrive we hold the ground for no abominations to come to this newborn realm.

We can t understand why the Tarn wants to do this war, to a people that has done no wrong. And instead helped incredibly the north trade, developing inderectly the realm of tarn much as us if not more.

---

Freeblades arrives and obey the orders, the Wind Riders and Old Warmth Firsts moves to reach Beania.

Their expense pay, in addition sun elves merch that could help in the dwarf effort for their defense has is prices lowered to the dwarfs.

And to the suggestion of some diplomats a trade embargo will be send to the Tarnish people.


>>3381745

A diplomat arrives at the border near Ladlemin, with him the letter of trade embargo.

He speaks

"People of Tarn why you declare war to our great friends ? What reason you have to attack them ? Why you are full of hate with a people that shield you during the undead war ? A people that traded with you, and with that fair trade helped you inderectly .... a different way to what we have done, but similar . And much like us you have given a name to one of your citys with the name of their kin. There is no reason for your assault of the dwarfs to continue."

>>3382276
"Shit that's hot" One mage mutters under his breath, only to be elbowed by at least 3 others.

"Excuse him, he's a fucking retard. Getting back to things that actually matter, weren't you the ones who had some sort of undead god try and take over the sun? Didn't you fuckers turn the god damn sun green, and them the Uwuin had to impale said undead god on their giant fuckoff tower-spear thing? Any you expect us to believe that, not only are there actual demons, but said demons can also fire chunks of metal from the sky? I'm sorry if this sounds insulting, but you have to admit that it all sounds rather nonsensical from an outside perspective. We only just started colonies on the continent." The most senior mage responded.

>>3382275
"I'll take whatever you have for the soul, if you please. Could do with a spot of conversation as well, in fact. Tell me, old man, what brings you to these parts?"

>>3382312
He pours you some rum.
>"My path was proven untenable, so I diverted. In short, I was disappointed learn this world has no need for one such as I was, but I do still intend to do my part to make it better.

>>3382291
>Reminder that none of this has happened yet, and may in fact never happen if Dorf and I manage to work out an agreement.

"Dear elves, we are saddened by the chain of events that brought us all to this terrible confrontation. The dwarves are great friends of ours, and their friendship has been a great boon to our lands. But some transgressions are so severe, they cannot go unpunished.The dwarves attacked a civilian city without any reason beyond bloodlust. When said people came to our doors, begging for aid, how could we refuse? We attempted to intervene to stop the bloodshed, but during our talks, they broke the ancient code of honor and attempted to destroy our people under cover of night and flag of peace. (/hypothetical)[We tried for peace again, and again they rebuffed our attempts and declared war on our whole nation. What were we to do then but fight back?](/hypothetical] We understand that you have strong ties to both us and the dwarves. We know that ou have as little desire to invade them as you do us. So all I ask of you is that you stay out of it. Let the fates decide who should win and ho should lose. This is our only request of you. I pray it is received well.

>>"Shit that's hot."

Pendragon's lips curl in amusement at the man before a hand gently pats the top of their head. Listening to them, hearing them before moving to respond.

Hand raising up, with a tutter.

"Firstly our god is fucking dead and he was never a god of undead. He was just a being who shepherded us. Secondly we are under new leadership, one who openly defied said being in trying to prevent the war in the first place. Thirdly, you are under the misconception that we did traditonal necromancy in any sense of the word, we simply used magic to pull the soul to it's old body and fuel the cells to keep them going and prevent rot and mind degradation."

She raises her hand, to explain herself, knowing what they are going to say.

"This is done, merely due to the people of our area for one reason or another, perhaps it is just what happens to the faithless, inhabiting a black paralyzing void of an afterlife. Revival until this can be fixed in some way was deemed preferable until we could either fix this or figure some way to prevent their souls from being trapped in this oblivion. We have thousands of hours of documentation of this that can be provided."

Breathing in nice and deep, a small smile flickering in their eyes, a bit of a warmth, this life...she is either telling the truth or brainwashed.

"Documentation can also be provided as to these demon incidents."

>>3382337
"Interesting. Vague but interesting. So you're from outborder then? Odd, you seem so familiar...No matter. So your a traveler of sorts, eh? Seen a good deal of the world , and decided it wasn't for you? What brought you to Ladlemin then?"

>>3382365
The senior mage sits and ponders the words spoken to him for a few minutes.

"We're not one's for religion and believing in an afterlife. Our main gripe with the undead is more of an arcane opposite thing. We deal in Biomancy, the manipulation of life. I'm personally 124,ish, years old. If you can indeed provide evidence to these "demons" and their magical superweapon, we will call off our swarms, like the one under us right now."

As if on cue, or to prove some sort of point, a fissure opens up a few yards away, and a warrior bug crawls out, and begins it's patrol away from the group, not paying them any mind.

"Well, that was some good timing." The senior mage chuckled. "So there's our terms, so to say. Give us the evidence, and we won't attack you fellows any more. Deal?"

The man sits up, and holds his hand out, warily, but out none the less.

>>3382381
Pendragon blinks softly at this, green flickering over them before rubbing her chin she responds.

"The tree of magic we use is not of the arcane. It is Eldritch, weird strange, based off precision that we learned from said God. I shall not bore you with the minutiae, but simply put a spell requires a name, what type it is, what it looks like and it's purpose."

Smirking, clearly a bit exasperated at how she's going off tangent.

"Needless to say it is not alligned as the opposite of life, after all we have encouraged it with the sea, making creatures more nutritious, docile and delicious resulting in much creation of life. As for evidence, I can simply share my memorys of the event or take you to Avalon and show you the craters and burned districts or grab any one of our innumerable books detailing things in a coherant a manner as possible."

Hands crossed, bone collar rising slightly, flickering at the presence of the bug nearby. She waits for them to reply with a impatient gaze.

>>3382425
Before begrudingly making sure to shake his hand, her hand is a bit warm, bit smooth as she had taken the glove off and appears to be covered in some sort of bone armor. Probably some sort of spell that made it as armor over their skin?

>>3382381
"Same as brings people anywhere I suppose. What brings you into my tavern?"

>>3382433
The senior mage smiles, before being dragged back with the other men, and one woman, maybe, where they all gathered together and in low murmurs discuss their options. Speak of "How do we know this isn't mind rape magic?!", is directly followed by, "That sounds kinda hot too" The mage is given very, very odd looks. Another conversation goes along the lines of "Bring us into their invisible city, which by the way is totally obvious, and electrocuting us with their lightning tentacles!"

After a few minutes, the senior mage emerges. "We will come to your city, But we also wish to ride on our mounts. We assure you that they will cause no trouble."

>>3382452

>>"Good, I'll kill you if you do!"

She certainly looked like she could fucking do it, break their necks, snap their body's underneath her strong form. Bone covered hand tightening and loosening, clenching into a fist. Relaxing as it almost seems like they were spoken to.

>>"Elizabeth is fine with this as well, current leader for your information."

1. Research and experimentation on electro-resistant Chitin carapace has proven fruitful. New warriors are 99.9% resistant to electric shocks of up to Arcane lightning, a powerful lightning indeed. A bit of time is needed to do the same for all our swarms.

2. Recently, stories from the mainland speak of godlike entities doing battle with each other. The most powerful of our mages have been commissioned to create a so called "God Bug". While of course, the bug isn't a deity, it would be a very powerful and resilient bug indeed. It's code name, for now, is Megaguirus.

>>3382479
"I want her to crush my head between her thighs" That same mage whispered to himself.

"Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously? Why are you like this?" Replied another mage, standing right next to him.

The senior mage looked back, only hearing the response to the mages weird fetishistic ramblings, and turned his head back to Pendragon. "Good enough for me. Shall we head off now?" He asks, before closing his eyes for a moment, muttering a few arcane chantings, and a Warrior, with a saddle on it, emerges from the earth a few yards away.

The warrior, Pendragon simply nods, her form moving swift, a flash of light, a glimmer of eldritch energy and just like that?

>>They Teleport, a spell having been prepared earlier.

Landing with a soft thump on a ledge over-looking the city of Avalon. A green haired eldritch being, this Elizabeth staring down at the city.

The remnants of crators was obvious, the burns and ruins of destroyed buildings still obviously being rebuilt and teeming masses of people moving about, the feeling of death, the opposition to life wasent felt in the city's aura so to speak.

Arm's crossing on both the blond haired giantess who was leaning over the fetishistic mage and what must be their leader.

Elizabeth speaks and her voice is airy, strong, glimmering sparks flickering around her.

>>"Your bugs crackled and popped, was a rather simple operation. But, I think the city scape, the craters here and the remnants of our burned buildings tell enough of the tale. If you don't feel convinced, you may go to the local clinic where the burnt victims went and now sleep."

>>3382544
"We're working on that." A mage replies towards the bug comment.

"This, this is very worrying." The senior mage replies. "What the hell kind of magic can cause this much damage?"

A mage whispers to another. "Well, that isn't disturbing. Not at all." He says, referring to Elisabeth.

The senior mage speaks up again. "You are the now leader of your kind, correct? What the hell kind of mage can preform such devastation?"

> United Crussader army:
Necrothlund Crussader Army - they return rich and happy though as undead and forced to live insecret they do not need much of the plundered riches so they share it with everyone to increse living standards

Golden Republic Crussader Army - they return filthy rich some of the younger guys got themselves wifes from among the Mesian slaves. They settle in the newly colonised Emi'an land. Becomming akin to the Cattle Barons of old Sarinthia. All of the major land owners in that part of Emi would soon be the former crussaders who last visited Emi when it was still divided...

Rattakian Crussader Army - they raided a lot and got themselves some slaves... those got worked/raped to death soon though and the tons of obtained riches spent on booze. What stayed was their reputation and status within White-Rattakin society.

True Dorn Crussader Army - returning with tons of riches they would help build cities and make the land richer getting one step closer to the glory of old Dorn.
(maybe give them some colonies too OP you fag)

Bees Crussader Army - they are kinda like dogs they wanted the food and brought it back to the hive.

> West Calderian Army
Many men are made generals and the Roachidians who died are burried with honours, they did not raid much and are a proffessional army.

> Dwarf Mercenary Army
The Dwarven Mercenaries for their brave service are offered permanent emplyment as the bodyguards and personal army of King Cian I Nashet and for his great service the leader the Dwarven mercenaries is granted noble status.

> Uwuin Forces
They did not get to spread their faith so they are like meh, but getting 50 000 slaves back into the home land is nice. Especially Mesian ones.

> Tarn Forces
... um the 60 were kinda at the reactor when it chaos exploded so they are either Chaos Tarn or Dead... so yeah. They deffinetly considered heroes though.

> Cyclops
They are thanked for their service though some complaints are made for them being cowardly and insubbordinate at time, but they more than made up for it with heroism. Cian gives nobility to Polemist and expresses condolences for the death of one Seer. They are given some stolen Mesian books, samples of ki'ik metal. A lot of robbed Mesian jewelry, weapons, books on mesian magic. etc.

> Eldrich's Forces
They were on boats so they are expected to have looted what they wanted. The Giant Crab if still alive would get a medal though.

A single warrior can lose a limb, and still be 87% effective in a fight. Not to mention improvements to them are being worked on by the day."

The slave comes across a calderin style village. It was somehow very peaceful in spite of the war raging the area of the continent. It overlooked the ruins of the spire. He goes from house to house, asking for the any of the chosen.

Eventually, he finds a Chosen who willingly admits to his past, and hears out the message. Soon, the leaders of the Chosen congregated in secret to discuss the ongoing events. Some speak of another Jihad, which would lead to great death on both sides, mesian and Chosen alike. Of note, was the fact that no one had any fucking clue what Eldrich magic was. The slave is sent back, with another message. "Give us advisors, and the Chosen shall wage war in the name of our God once again."

The west western (temporary name maybe) siege force arrives at the city. A lone dwarf approaches the city and would wish to speak with the cities lord, meanwhile the army sets up camp.

>>3382716
Stop doing this Dorf. I said the messenger was captured, and I had a reason for doing so. We're not at war yet. You cant just declare something you don't like not canon.

>>3382573
Yeah, they dead as hell, trapped in sarcophagi of molten iron. I'd be grateful if you brought them back, but will understand if you can't.

>>(Fay, im sorry I can't find the actual conversation.)

>>3382046
"Hmm, let's see. I can get you one magic disk, roughly twice this big."(he stretches his arms out as far as he can)
"That sound good? As far as what we're up against, I'm honestly not too sure. There's been rumors circling the complex that we're in some sort of fracas with the dwarfs. They're good people, but a very stubborn sort. Real fond of mithril, those guys, so probably any magic you use you'll find reflected right back at you."

>>3382443
"Very well then, keep your secrets,"-they mentally make a note to search the complex registry for any mention of an outborder applying for a tavern license-"I won't pry any further. As for me? Well, I suppose I'm nobody either," they laugh without humor. "It feels like I've done everything right, and yet still is all going to pot. I suppose I need a break from it all.

>I wonder if Grey would be able to sense the scepter under her robe. Maybe not the exact shape, but he might sense a sort of vortex, draining away all the magic from its immediate surroundings.

>>3382935

"Good to know. I presume we'll have to get up close and personal then. While it removes some options, most of the lesser fey only have lesser tricks. Either way, way I believe we have a deal, something good for a modest start and certainly a good foundation. Just point me in the right direction and I'll look for where this is going on and report to the commander nearby." Pyre would say. To be honest, the payment was fairly minor for what she was doing, at least in her mind, but this was more about solidifying a name as an effective fighting force and potentially getting more soldiers than it was about payment. After all, this was her first contract...

Meanwhile...

>Action One
With the little exchange under way, some chaun smiths along with a few fairy tailors and other craftsfey would head to the Narsics and try and help them with what was needed. Most importantly the chaun smiths would find work on one of the prototype projects that the Narsics had, specifically creating what could be called a fancy reinforced tube of metal on a pedestal. The chaun smiths would be able to provide quite well and the first test of the prototype would show that when loaded with some blasting powder the Narsics had and a iron ball, the tube would in fact survive the force of the blast when the powder was set off and the ball could go a good two hundred and fifty meters or about eight hundred and fifty feet. Of course, it's still just a prototype, but it's certainly a great step forward. Clearly cooperation was likely to go quite smoothly.

>Action Two
As it turns out, ever since the founding of their own small little town, Caraway had been working away on how to create more magical energies. Naturally, she found that magic energies cannot be created out of nothing, however despite this, she kept at her work, specifically work that can best be described in a layman way of 'if it's somewhere else, just bring it over here.' Of course, she wasn't trying to find a way to bring magic from one place in the world to another, but rather by poking a hole and sucking magic out of a different realm. Of course, she still had plenty of work to do, specifically making sure said magic wasn't volatile and nothing could slip through without notice, but her work has bore some fruit and is clearly possible, and she has managed to write down a good deal of her findings. Maybe someday with her work, those legends of emperor and empress fey would be put to the test. At the very least there might be more noble, king and queen fey if she is successful in her work...

The regent King of Tumben-Hytza looks down at the translated commands of Cian.

His face is contorted in a look of disapointment, he looks up and whispers his response to the interpreter.

The interpreter speaks, “These demands you have given shall be accepted, Tumben-Hytza will and her vassal Maikaah shall become the subject of the Uwuin nation, but only as long as one regulation is allowed by the Uwuins, the undead go against everything our culture stands for, and because of it they will be banned in all forms from ever setting foot on this island or within the territory of Maikaah.

Nor shall their goods, no matter how important he ever directly imported into this nation.

Because of your demand that we abolish religion in our government we will change our flag to something which will not bring the memories of the war to my people, the symbol of the Mesian Serpent, a symbol of renewal and permanence, as opposed to the old symbols of Mesian religion.”

>>The Kamadani Cyclopes

>A Whole New Pigment™
>Companous Urbanization

The search for pigment sources has led the cyclopes to something astounding. In their jungles grow bulbous fruits, which when dried and crushed, create an astounding display of violets and indigo. These fruits are soon grown across many jungle villages, and quiet a few tailors and fabric makers covet these pigments for their own wares. While the violets of the fruit are indeed striking, it appears that some of the effect is lost on others. When shown to some passing Gorgon traders, they marveled at the rich purples and indigos, but didn't seem to notice the more nuanced shades and streaks hidden within. The cyclopes learn that they can see a bit farther into the Ultra Violet spectrum than others.

Companous is unique among the Island as the only true 'city' of the cyclopes. Singulous, Solitous, and Seculous being more large logistics hubs and market places for the spread out villages. Companous, meanwhile, has to deal with a steady population of cyclopes to man it, as well as the constant influx of foreign visitors and traders. While the city has a good deal of entertainment, greater quantities of amenities and housing is required if the Cyclopes wish to keep all foreign contact limited to the port city. Many new structures are built; residential, commercial, and even some industrial buildings for commissioned goods. Inns are made to house peoples of various sizes and physiology. Shops and stalls line the main streets, able to be rented out by traders if they want a more permanent place to hawk their wares.

Curiously, during construction, one of these buildings is already occupied by a tavern. "The Lost Scholar." Filos occasionally goes there when he really needs a drink.

>>3382573
The Seer's body was not recovered, the cyclopes striving to save the lives of those still living. He will be remembered by the people who knew him, but ultimately, the cyclopes consider his passing complete. The surviving cyclopes though, have a harder time coming back from what they've experienced.
Kefalés asks to be let off on the mainland, along with the other fluff-puff mercenaries. With the contract over, she is now free to tour the world to her heart's content.
Polemistís lumps the Nobility title as an extra benefit to being the Primarch. She gets more challenges from her fellow Primes than before, but she easily wins each and every one.
Most of the weapons go to the Proving Grounds, while some is snagged by the weapon-smiths to examine later. The books all go to the Seer Monastery. The metal goes to the magma forges. And the jewelry makes its circulation around the island, ending up in various places and on various folks.

>>3383101
All followers of the one true faith errupt in erratic joy for another people's have chosen to empbrace the One True Faith. All the reserves of Dwarven Ale are consumed and a new holiday established.
*they know you technically did not embrace it, but with being a subject it becomes legal to practice there

As the Mesian wish no undead shall enter their land as liking or disliking undead is not part of the faith. The ban on any imports from Eldrich lands is noted down as if on a checklist, it seems as if the state representative does not care either way.

The two subject nations would soon see a lot of changes:
1. Due to the faith belonging to genderless bugs andt he question of marriage first arising among Calderians all forms of marriage would be legal and noone would care. If your cuture wanted to keep it all straight noone would care either way.
2. Tons of Missionaries wielding poerful healing magic would arrive in the land minimasing the damage done by the war healing the sick regrowing limbs etc.
3. A lot of houses companies and manufactories with a distinctive Emi flair to them would start being constructed on the islands. It is to give work, housing and a place to pray to the people.This would be an extenssion of the Church of Emi which is basically a corporation.
4. West Calderian soldiers would be wandering the streets patrolling them for any terroists, independance fighters and oppositionists. As well as ones still openly worshipping Petin.
5. More trade opportunities. Trade networks would be opened up with nations such as Emi, Bees, White Rattakia and of course Uwuin'taipan.
6. A lot of the previously captured slaves would slowly return as converts to help rebuild the nation.
7. The hole cian blew in the ground would kinda become a holy site so expect pilgrims and cash from pilgrims.

>>3383101

The orders are changed to exclude the Uwuin'taipan subject states from being attacked in terrorism as they are in the middle of being converted.

>>3382197 >>3382364
> a Warpsone projectile hits Rattakian land at Tarn-White-Rttakia border
The attack is obviously the work of the Mesians, but not our Mesians as such a message to the Dwarves from the white Rattakians is sent asking why their subject is nuking them. Still the place hit was not important... the important part is the chaos energy. The soil once robbed of it is revitalised and the once seemingly lost warpstone deposits are there once again.

>White Rattakia and Wild Rattakian tribes regain
- plague monks
- rat Ogres
- war-flame throwers
- other Skaven Shit

Religious make up of WIld tribes:
40% - bastadised One True Faith (stable)
40% - tribal cults (falling)
20% - Chaos Worship (growing)

The once dormant weak rats would now start wrecking chaos within Tarn lands though it is pretty clear it's basically only the Chaos worshippers.
Meanwhile in White Rattakia the local state would have a hard time keeping the spread of Chaos at bay.

>>3382629
The Uwuin now understand what Chaos is and that it's the opposite of good.. but also that it is the opposite of Eldrich magic for some reason.
Only now do they notice how odd it is that a flower can just so easily remove Eldrich corruption from the land especially such a tiny pretty one which seems to now grow everywhere like weeds. Some of the missionaries there are mid-tier Exorcists and they finally see what is going on.
It's a Chaos flower it transforms localised magich into chaos magic. (or so they think)

> all import of that flower is banned evewhere where Uwuin can ban it
> a few samples oft he plant are bought "as a gift for my wife" or as another excuse, put in locked myhtrill containers for further analysis and transported out of Gorgon lands

>>3383202

"I am sure I can arrange things so someone arrives to take it and bring it to where I would desire at that time. If there is nothing else you need to inform me about, I will take my leave and head to where I am needed."

>>3382716
The permanent Dwarven force will hencefourth be known as the "Vorzdun Guard". They are equipped in full Mythrill Armour and get to bring their families to live with them in the capital which could become like a Dwarven district of the City.

>>3382716
> Action 1:Fix what we can
Help rebuild our Mesian subjects. I described earlier how it'll look it of course it also is used to spread our faith there

Action 2: Inquissition is founded
After the destruction of the White Rattakian capital (honestly it wasn't even much of a city). The Capital is promptly rebuilt even deeper. (it was underground to begin with desu)

The bigger problem was the ressurection of the warpstone reserves in the local area and spread of Chaos.
From among Exorcist Mages (soulgranted) a certain number is selected and given the mission of finding and combatting the spread of Chaos. They would be known as Inquissitors.
> minimise spread of Chaos in white Rattakia, but wild Skaven still like Chaos

>>3382596
Messengers arrive from Uwuin lands.
"Another not!nuke (insert it's real name) has been dropped. This time on White Rattakia... it was much worse though. Chaos energy poured from it and if not for the natural resistance of the Skaven would have probably mutates most of them, still Chaos worship seems to be spreading liket he plague among the wild tribes and the influx of Chaos energy has revitalised the Warpstone reserves making the Skaven a dangerous force once again.

Another danger comes from the Gorgon islands."

The diplomat takes out a flower and plants it in the ground. That flower then proceeds to remove the Eldrich corruption from a small prot of land arround it.

"We belive this flower also contains Chaos energy and it is all over the Gorgon islands making us belive they might secretly be Chaos worshippers.

As such we wish you to teach us Eldrich magic, unlike your people we can still travel the continent and use it to combat the spread of Chaos in addition it will be an indispesable asset to us in our future joint war against the Daemons unleashed by the Mesians.

Eldrich magic also seems to be rather useful as trough creation of 'transplants' we will be able to do what was never possible before, heal injuries which Uwuin'taipan and Soulgranted have sustained. From among us Uwuin born of undead and ones they soulgranted seem to have an affinity for Eldrich magic as they have been peeping in on Little Gray's classes. As such we humbly ask for your tutolage."

>>3383634
Uwuin'taipan diplomats arrive with a message:
"We know you are great craftsmen, ones even able to work Mythrill and hopefully Ki'ik Metal too.

We wish to together use the corpse of the slain God to create weapons capable of slaying the Daemons he unleashed uppon this world. The best of our alliance shall work together to forge the most powerful weapons."

He then explains that we'll forge 4 weapons:
1 for the Cyclops
1.For the Uwuin
1 for West Calderia
1 for the Undead

>>3383075
How those Missionaries doing in Fae land? any converssions made?

I assume not, but they probably became a used to part of your society just kinda part of the landscape.

>>3382291
Little Gray soon leaves Uwuin lands and he and his now healed wife reuinite in West Calderia. The Queen soon has twins a Girl who awakens to be a hero with a bound Glave and a son who did not awaken at all and isj ust a kid. Things are finally looking up for Cian who kinda just seems to want to forget Little Gray.

L.Gray is slowly reaching the age which permits formarriage one which Eide surrely has long reached as she is 5 years older than him.

Cian sends a message to Tyrant Cor proposing they tell the young ones oficially about their engagement and maybe slowly start preparing for the wedding.

>The narsic sages are amazed by the raw magical energy of the fae homeland. In this level of magical energy, they find that they are quite adept at manipulating untamed magic. They begin to meld the raw magical power into the city of the fae. with this, the magical power of the fay queen grows as more power if brought to her. (Two things happened here. The narsic discover they are great conduits for magical energy and can meld it to their will, the second thing is that the fae gaining much magical energy by the narsics melding of the magic to the city)
>The question of whether or not the mages are giving inanimate thing conciseness is answered. The narsics are giving beings conciseness. With this, they begin to give all sorts of inanimate objects life. These are things like trees, robots, big boulders in the shape of a human and literal fire. These new creatures bring with than other elements of expertise. The trees are great at growing food The fires and boulders find a home in the mines, and blacksmiths, improving the quality of ores and the quality of the blacksmiths' products go up as the fire is more able to monitor its temperature than the blacksmith.

(Continuation of the Uwuin Religion inquisition)
After much discussion, an agreement was eventually reached. The followers of Uwuin would not be persecuted any longer, and neither side would be allowed to proselytize any longer. Exceptions were carved out by both sides, on the pilgrimage route and in major cities respectively. Both sides walked away not happy, but at the very least satisfied.

>Inquisition stops attacking the Faithful
>Faithful can’t try to convert people except around the pilgrimage routes
>Tarns can’t try to convert faithful except in major cities.

(Continuing conversation with Dwarven messenger)
The dwarves were messengers, not spies, that much was clear at least. They spilled their entire mission without prompting. The commander is puzzled. So it seemed that the two nations were at the brink of war, just over the matter of this one city. This was not a proper course of events. Perhaps if she and the dwarven commander were to speak once more, they could hash out an acceptable agreement for the cessation of hostilities and prevent any more needless bloodshed.

>a ceasefire is called and a white flag of truce is raised
>A meeting point is designated between the two armies

1.At last, the tree blooms with its magnificent beauty and all is good
2.Well the Games will have a wait a little longer due to complications. Fine. They needed more time to perfect things anyways. With many new people coming to ERS and mingling with each other, Gorgons worry disease will pose a problem. Their Nunge Blan is an excellent healing agent. Research is done to create universal medicines from it.

>>3383828
A narsic ambassador comes to your island to say hi and ask about the Gorgons wellbeing. Also, the Gorgons are told of the reclamation of the narsic homeland.

>>3383828
The Uwuin send a diplomat as they hear of the games and ask if they can perform a play for the Olympics. They know the Gorgons probably do not wish for a religious tale and as such the uwuin propose to tell a historical one.

*Subject Issue*
My liege, recently the issue of the military base of Maikaah has come to light, during the War it was used to train tens of thousands of Mesian soldiers in extreme environment warfare, creating a form of soldier which could fight from the southern tip of cholmigaah to the undead wastes of the north.

Now, after the war has ended a little less than 10,000 well trained and highly religiously indoctrinated Militias and military forces remain, who are very costly to maintain, they will be hard to convert and might prove to be a dangerous source of rebellion in a few years, mostly due to the fact that 75% of them are male.

We have concluded that this issue is to fragile to handle ourselves so we ask for how you would like us to handle the issue.
Tumben-Hytza:
Action:
Due to the decreased agricultural output of our rebuilding nation we must convert and construct ships capable of hunting the large crabs of the oceans.
---------------------------
>>3382716
The information exchange that has occurred over the past while between the two of us many still weary of the war have heard of the Dwarven city of Dunzkat, a city on a continent in the extreme far north, yet not in an unusually cold environment, and along with this there are also reports of swamps near the most northerly Dwarven city which would serve as a wonderful place to set up a Southern Mesian colony for those aforementioned war weary.

In conclusion we would like the permission to set up a Mesian colony in that most northerly place, along with the permission to colonize the empty western lands near emi and the swamps and forests south of Tirgaz.
CoC:
Action:
Sadly Tumben-Hytza has been conquered, because of this we have been forced to work on a soul circuit by ourselves, we shall continue despite that. (roll for breakthrough, on a 5 it becomes close and on a 6 a breakthrough is made that allows a prototype to be constructed)

The West Calderian general strokes is beard while talking to the Mesian army Chief.

"I know this was supposed to be kept secret for now, but ask them for their willingness when it comes to retaking the old capital. The mission is still years off, but that hope may be what will keep them contained. If they agree, lets try to organise as many as possible joint training sessions with West Calderian elite troops to build unity... in addition I will have all their relatives brought back from Uwuin slavery to calm them though they will be made to live in Tuben-Hytza."

North of the Narsic Capitol of Shep, hitting directly into a small crystal mine, causing over 20 narsics to go missing.

After a few days a search party is sent to locate the missing persons, and what is found is the crash site of the weapon, where vantablack crystals have formed.

The party returns, unable to get through the oddly difficult collapsed rocks where the entrance had been to the mine, they ask the leader of the narsics for the resources to privately investigate this, but are open to the direct involvement of the government in the operation.

Rolled 5 (1d10)

>>3384024
We will ask them, also, if they are to respond positively, what shall become of the military base, shall we turn it into a conventional city or might it be turned into a base for greater Uwuin aligned training? (rolling for Maikaah response)

>>3383944
The dwarves are content with their currently held land and have no desire to expand, the Mesians are given permission to expand wherever they please.

>>3384062
Neutral response:
The Maikaah Militia would like to turn their territory into a self sufficient Mesian operated military base, where they will only train troops who do not attempt to spread their faith among the Mesian militia forces, they want to do this to "safeguard against the greater evil of the undead on the frontier."

Most of the soldiers know their family to be dead and are to well trained to settle down, and at this point just want to die for something, the commander of their forces is open to autonomous cooperation with Uwuin forces on the island holding the former Mesian capitol against this strange new threat.

>>3384033
The narsic government does not allow private investigation of the crystals. When a sage goes to look at them he reaches out and touches the crystal. Trying to force his mind into the nature of the crystal.

>>3384079
The sage recoils after a few seconds, his body grows weak and he falls backwards.

He describes what he saw, a realm of unending dread and endless knowledge, filled with creatures who looked as the fairy tails that keep bad children in bed at night.

He also claims that if they are able to get into the collapsed mine there will be survivors who have had more exposure to this strange energy, and may be able to provide insight into what exactly it is.

>>3384075
The Uwuin agree to the proposal of the military base giving the region special rights, but forbidding any new recruitment into the original Maikaah Militia.

>>3384089
The others there are shocked by the description. The movement immediately orders the removal of the crystals. The ground around the crystals is torn up and warped around the crystals. The dirt is then turned to iron. The survivors are found.

>>3384090
The Soldiery will be ordered to further intensify their training, along with adding in recreational and weapon maintenance activities in between.

The Militia works towards improving their agriculture in order to not be dependent on imports, and now only emigration will be allowed by the Maikaah government between it and other nations except when joint military operations are concerned, so the population growth will be replacement level until agriculture becomes strong enough.

>>3384101
11 survivors are found in the back of the mine, scared out of their minds, they tell of a genius who had killed 8 people who he had claimed "were in the way of progress".

After some searching the team finds a man clad in red and black robes engraved with strange symbols made of iron.

He was found modifying a strange machine that has seemingly biological parts to it, and the bodies of the 8 were found mostly intact in the corner of the room.

He accepts being arrested but says that he wants to introduce his newly discovered form of technology to the knowledge hungry minds of Shep.

His machine activates on his command and follows him from a distance until he orders it to shut down.

Action 1: Better boats begin to make an appearance. Far from the original squat cargo boats of seasons past, these ships are true oceangoing vessels, capable of hauling heavier cargo faster than their predecessors.

Action 2: With this invention, a trade route develops with the Narsic. Ships make journeys across the seas, trading every material imaginable. On one of these ships a gift from the Narsics passes to Battalmin, 30 of a new sort of blasting powder weapon.

>Diplo with dorf:
The Tarns both afield at I Mount and at home, try their best to negotiate with the dwarves. Unfortunately, the dwarves are fully committed to a full on war, regardless of consequences.

It is with great regret that the Tarns declare war with the Dwarven kingdom.

>Do you want any rules at the outset, or just total war?

>Diplo with the Uwuins.
The Uwuins are requested for aid in the war effort, given the Tarns closeness to the Uwuin nation and (present) feeling towards the Uwuin nation.

>Narsics
The Narsics are thanked for their gift and asked if they would wish to become allies with the Tarnish. It would be a chance to bring the true glory of the Narsic armies and to help a weaker nation defend against an endless horde of enemies.

>City States of Calderia: The Calderian city states are requested to come to the aid of their sister city in her fight against the dwarves.

>Entomancers:
The Entomancers have been great allies and trading partners of the Tarnish. They are asked to take part in the war for Justice and true life.

>General
The Tarns announce that the Dwarves have declared war on them for protecting an innocent city from their rapacious armies. The dwarven crimes of attacking under a white flag and treacherous attack on resting soldiers are particularly emphasized. These are broadcast across the silver mirror network(apart from secure connection) and delivered to individual nation-states.

>Battle actions coming up!

>>3384135
Oh, most forgot a few things
>Mesians
An emissary is sent to the Mesians, letting them know of the atrocity that is taking place. Hopes are low that these actions will get them to join the war, but perhaps it will be enough to keep them neutral.

An odd report from the border guard, of a huge crater and mutant skaven appearing from the empty Ratlands. So far, whatever it is has been kept back beyond the border.

>>3384135
The Uwuin explain that they know of the war that has been waged between the Tarn and Dwarves and that both nations are considered good allies. As such with a heavy heart they have to decline.

This island is where he is sent

>Dwarwenmin
For the first time in its short history, the gates of Dwarwenmin are closed. Civilians of all nationalities and creeds are told that the Tarns are at war and that they need to return to their home countries, shelter in the city, or be transported to Ladlemin as son as possible. The grounds to the west and south of the city are booby trapped. Skaven troops, are brought in and used to connect an underground tunnel to the broader network through a hidden entrance, allowing for supplies to travel back and forth. Earth mages are stationed in the tunnels themselves, guarding for even the slightest changes that might betray that an enemy was attacking from belowground or marching on the ground above. Ballistas are primed and readied, archers stationed at the battlements, skaven and human swordsmen readied to hold the gates. Mercenaries are recruited from the slums surrounding the city, and ordinary civilians are drafted to hel hold the walls.

>I Mount
The I Mount army receives an additional reinforcements from the first contingent sent by the Tarns. The second contingent moves up the mountain to rendezvous with the commander and set up additional defenses. Ballistas are entrenched, fortifications bolstered to take huge explosions, and anti siege-precautions put in place.These people recruit some of the native fae of the city to help with the defenses. They only have weak magic, but they can still be helpful.

>>3380506
Reinforced with what? From where? Reminder that the air is superheated and low in oxygen.

>>3384229
Some of the team that were sent in to deal with the incident begin to smuggle themselves and their loved ones in to view the quarantined crystals, despite the fact that they were covered in ironized dirt.

The 11 seclude themselves on the far eastern side of the island while the rogue inventor reveals all he knows free of hassle.

He tells of the visions he saw, which were similar to the visions of the sage,

He wants access to any criminals that the state deems worthy of death, so that he may be able to increase his output of these “daemon engines” as he calls them.

His first creation, which he names the “Höhlenbestie” is shown through supervised testing to be incredibly good at locating and extracting items from under tough materials when given an example of what it is supposed to find.

For example when it was given a diamond and told to dig it dug deep underground and after but a minute emerged with a medium sized raw diamond from underground.

When given the heart of an Entomancer war form and shown the fresh body of an extremely tough bug it managed to fairly easily claw open the carcass at its weak points and extracted the no longer beating heart of the once nigh invincible creature.

Though it has proved unstable when not around its creator or somebody who has been taught how to control it by its creator.

The vessel transporting the body of Petlin creaks in the choppy seas near Dorn.
The sky is blackened by clouds and visibility low, rain begins to pour as the crew below hear a loud rapping from outside the hull. The water surrounding the vessel churns and bubbles, a crack in the sky brightens the sea for a moment quickly followed by the roar of thunder.

Suddenly a geyser of saltwater is thrown atop the deck, with a glimmering object behind it, quickly impacting the side of the ship.
Violently the chitin hull of the vessel splits and splinters while the bronze is torn asunder with a wicked howl.
The contents of the ship spill out into the sea as the crew desperately rush to the rowboats. If unable, the ship potentially stays in a state barely floating across the waters until it washes up on shore.

>>3384119
The body of Petlin will wash ashore the borders of CoC after your fourth turn is played.

>>3384135
As the Tarn fail to meet with the dwarven diplomat, he returns to the camp which would now be in place, the west western siege camp begins firing ballistae at the city with most of the force being at a safe distance or behind hastily made berms by skaven slaves, while the counterpart of their force continues the defense at the true western siege camp, their combined force would surely overrun the minuscule tarn army swiftly.

Tarn has declared total war, though the dwarves are not so vile, they take prisoners when possible and do not enact cowardly or malefic actions.

Any and all Tarnish ships passing through the canals are taken under dwarven control, any perishable goods are used or sold to the elves while the rest along with the vessels are put in storage.
For now, the Ethinhaik Canal is closed off and any returning Tarn merchants are imprisoned in Herukja Fort.

News of the war declared on the dwarves reaches the north. Garrisoned forces in elven lands both Zendarja and Ethinhaik are sent west into the Tarnish forests.
The elves by now have been accustomed to dwarven rule and are of little threat of revolt, but a small portion of the forces remain stationed as a precaution.

The eastern siege force has not heard any reports from anyone in quite some time, scouts would be sent west to discover what has occurred, eventually discovering the conflict at the true western siege camp, as the scouts return they inform the army and they gather the men to assist the western effort.

Corpses are stockpiled in an unused room, sealed off to prevent miasma of decomposition, the survivors trapped within the tunnel now ration their resources and begin to dig at the collapsed entrance.


>War

>>3384245
Lumber in the storage rooms as well as stone are used. With the size of the tunnels and dwarven anatomy, low oxygen is not so much an issue but might still slow them down.

>>3381522
Actions:
1. Multiple calls to join the united effort against the Chaos mesians have been received by the Conclave, and with evidence to back up claims of Near-atmospheric strikes, preparations are made to our cities. They dig deeper into the earth, in the hopes that the projectiles will be unable to penetrate the distance between the surface and the cities.

2. The megaguirus project continues on. Improved Chitin carapaces has been developed which is far more resistant to blunt force and piercing. It also shows a mild degree of heat resistance. This will be applied to the finished result, and to all swarms in production.

>>3384245
For inquisitors to help with the hunting down of chaos outside of the one island and cold iron, 500 awakened golems are sent down to help in the tarnish war effort and a legion of war mages are sent with them.

>>3384342
weed is offered for swarms 100 rolls for 10k bugs

>>3384347
The deal seems adequate. The bug eggs are sent via Transport bug. The Entomancer sent to the trade advises them to keep the eggs in a dark and damp place, and they should grow to full size in 3 days time.

"Alright then, I will be there shortly. I'm happy to prove the worth of my soldiers and my mercenary company." Pyre would say before simply leaving and taking her forces with her. She was quite confident and excited, along with happy about all of this, after all, war is basically her business considering she ran a mercenary company...

>>3384345
The deal is accepted. Unfortunately, silver mirror messages indicate that the channels have been closed, so merchants and soldiers are rerouted through Uwuin lands. After paying a hefty fee, the men, golems, and goods are brought to Elwenmin. The casters are sent to Battalmin while the golems move to Dwarwenmin. Similar messages are sent to the other Tarnish merchas, who begin using the alternative routes. Only those actually in the canal are stopped by the dwarves.

>>3378352
The Priests are really weirded out by them missing the conflict.
"That short while where all dead were comming back to life and the sun turned green with huge tentacles in the sky that was the work of an evil God who planned to kill all which lives and rebirth it in his image without free will. The Diety reffered to itself as "Hero" and even now the seas which he transformed stay tainted by his Eldrich powers. The great Godslayer tower was destroyed, but managed to kill the God and out of his body weapons were forged and granted each to the greatest fighters of the nations who contributed in the evil god's downfall."

The Missionary would slowly explain how evil Gods like that are born from thoughts of soulless beings as it is those evil Gods which in ancient time destroyed the world and recreated it to be hostile to the children of God.

The missionary stops and says:

"Your people seem to be different though while still soulless you are not of the false Gods as you seem to be bound to an eternal life bound to the soil... I am no major theologician, but you seem to be something new and undiscovered."

>>3384119
after a much-heated debate, the council decides to get rid of the chaos. The inquisitors are sent around removing any crystals and the thieves are thrown onto the island. after the mainland is purged of the chaos inquisitors make their way through the island piercing those in chaos' throw through with spears of cold iron. The crystals are taken and buried deep. The crystals are blown into the hole and covered it up. It is deep enough that no single narsic can ever get to them. Then the inquisitors and the burier are cleansed for the influence of chaos by having the memory fo going to that island fractured by old sages who have given all their knowledge to the younger generation. As a final act of patriotism, they commit suicide by engulfing their bodies in flames(that hurt them, unlike the controlled flames of the war on the bugs) and having their ashes tossed into the ocean.

>>3384514

Snimdeck and a few noble fey actually interested in the faith seem to understand it fairly well, but the main issue is the fey who don't understand it seem mostly confused by why death was important or why them coming back was surprising. They did understand however the lack of free will part but it's fairly obvious way some meaning was lost on them. Snimdeck and the few noble fey who do understand would go through a long process explaining how the other races don't come back when killed and eventually most of the small group of converts would understand.

So long as it was understand for Snimdeck, it eventually would be understood by the small group of followers, though it was like teaching children or teenagers with the exception of the two King and Queen fey other than Snimdeck who listed, and seemed to not care. Regardless, these things start out small so it is understandable, and a good start compared to earlier...

>>3384558
>Dwarwenmin
The fae are requested to fly over the dwarven army encamped outside of Dwarwenmin, setting fires and burning their siege engines, supplies, and anything else. They are told to maintain stealth, attack suddenly, avoid putting themselves in harms way and to prioritize the burning of foodstuffs. Hopefully, the dwarves won't even see the sudden source of all the fire. This is not an offensive action, simply a defense against an invading army.

>>3384578
Oh, whoops, the ballistas hit the walls, but splinter and break, the wall being fortified with cold iron. Beyond a few dents, they are completely ineffective.

>>3384328
>Battalmin
The forces sent into the forest find themselves completely surrounded in all directions by thick forest. Lines of sight extend as just a few feet away. As the dwarves march forward, a thick fog appears, enveloping them in opaque grey. It is difficult to see one's fellow soldiers, let alone the forest.

Armored swordmen use the fog to sneak past the body of the enemy, silently assassinating cooks, porters, and laborers. Further back, the lines bringing food to the army are sidetracked and killed, their food destroyed or cached to take back t Battalmin.

A line of meat is placed from within the hives borders out into the outer forests, the ravenous bees follow the trail and are led directly into the marching dwarven army.

>Idyllic Mount
I need more for this one. What exactly do the armies do? How are they set up?

To the dwarves inside the camp, nothing has changed. The occasional arrow still whistles through the air, pinning a dwarf to the wall or placing a shaft where one 's neck used to be. However, behind the cover of the trees, the Tarnish forces largely have abandoned the assault on the western camp, setting up instead to defend the province between the lake and the city. It is acknowledged that this may anger the elves, but retreating from this position will result in an inability to get supplies to the civilians inside the city and the starvation of all within. Tarnish boats set up of the shore, filled with archers and swordsmen to help the assault.

>>3384655
The bees while as smart as dogs are lead by the Hive queen and an independant nation. Tricking them into a war and encroaching on their land might be seen as an act of war especially ast he be queen is essentially a bipolar 14 yo.

You can retcon the action or I'll roll for if the bees declare war on you for this. It'd be like 25% for war and 75% just ignore.

>>3384703
A messenger is sent to the elves. "While we respect your position and are glad you have chosen to stay neutral, there are dwarven provinces that must be held in order to continue supplying aid to the fae civilians. Failing to hold this province would result in the death of thousands of innocents, an unacceptable consequence. We hope that you can understand this exception and that we can continue our peace and friendship.

>Mercenaries are hired from both the Sun Elves and the Uwuin to bolster the Tarnish army.

>>3384732
Huh, thought they were more mindless beasts with a few intelligent bugs. If I start the meat trail just outside their borders will I still have the diplomatic issues? In that case, they're basically invading me, not dorf, right?

>>3384763
Actually, never mind. I'll negotiate with the bees seperately. I'll just retcon the bee attack then

>>3384578

The firebrand warriors, once they arrive, would simply go after the lesser defended siege weapons and quickly kill the operators before lighting the things on fire. This was usually done with lancers simultaneously striking the dwarves down through the slits for sight in their helms. Of course, they rely entirely on the element of surprise here, and try to hide after their strikes while one of them gets a fire going. It's likely extremely annoying for the dwarves, and also possibly spreads some fear of invisible saboteurs. On the bright side, they don't kill the operators of heavily guarded engines, and instead simply hide using said weapons before trying to light them and fly off, though they usually put those fires out before they render the weapon completely destroyed and would be able to repair or even continue to use them. Additionally, any soldiers that go away from the main group would also be targeted and slain.

>>3384756
Uwuin do not have any mercenary armies... we never got into the mercenary buisness...

The dwarves are peppered by annoyances from the fae, but the overall siege remains stagnant
Some few dwarves gather to try and produce a breakthrough for now.

>>3384655
As dwarves march in columns, they would be targeted mainly from the ends of the lines.
Their formations naturally being quite compact, still, they soon alter the way they go about marching, lessening the distance between one another even further as attacks became more common.
Discovering the disappearance of supplies and mobile-tavernkeeps, they suspect the local populace of such attacks and begin to raid locals living within the forests.
Their marching is slow but safe, and speed is not much needed when attacking cabins and farms.
Killing the civilians in the forests, they also loot the homesteads to replace any equipment lost from the prior attacks.
Their travel does not bring them directly to Battalmin.

>>3384703
(See pic)
The eastern army would also arrive soon and attack from the north aiding the attack further.
The Tarn would be facing the dwarven forces being roughly three times their size while being attacked from 3 directions.

>>3384809
How do the fairies react to the iron equipment used by dwarves?

>>3384926
I guess there'd be villages too, not just cabins.
Villages are targeted mostly then.

Action 1

The Ritual takes a more proper form, Sotr can give it strength to it now.


Action 2

Water magic is used for defense, the water needs to be called in a sense and then let it fill the space we want.


>>3382364

"You know already that the reason of this war, where cause by the now broken calderian empire, and no the dwarfs have no bloodlust they are great warriors and of that we have no doubt. The city is being sieged, but they haven t speak of massacres, they indeed want to conquer it but they don t want to leave a city of ghosts there. The dwarfs speaks of an unexpected attack from one of your armys, and that a talk was done only after said attack. Also messangers have being capture and they didn t return. We indeed have strong ties with both of you, and we would also prefer to not attack you since we find the idea deplorable, but you are forcing us to reconsider and even made our neutrality impossible. The dwarfs have do no wrong to you, and if you continue any longer that city will only suffer. Do you really think in their hands it will be destoyed ? Instead that a city barely ruled and prone to inside conflicts that happen for power inside them, we will see a city that rebuild it self to a new glory. The calderian empire is a former shadow of it self, anyone of those factions from within this city states will do anything for protect their power but as they achieve rulership they would prefer indipendence that giving to anyone what they have gain. We doubt that the dwarfs will not bring order to this city, and you should reconsider it as well. Stop this attacks and this war, if you don t the first thing we will do will be a trade embargo that i will give to you, making it immediate law."


>>3384328
"Commanders tell me where my fists should be send, we will break anything in our path."

said Redon, captain of the Old Warmth Firsts

"Ah we don t need that we will simply make their logistics fall. They will have several problems."

reply Sofen, captain of the Wind Riders


R "Complety irrilevant if we break them at that city."

S "Your attack will be completly irrilevant, if we lay disorder to their lines behind."

R "Ah we will see"

S "I have already victory in my hands."

R "We will see."

not really necessary but just for write something. they are there or near marching with others.

consider that the mages present have learn from tythia and tarn ones.

Eide next year will be in the age where our people usually start declare engagements, for then prepare to marriage. She could have get some of it already, but we will inform her of this affair. Do to the attention the prince has give to her we can imagine that he has already being informed of this or he did simply find her already is bride. While there are no problems on that matter, we would prefer that their possible engagement would be the best one for both of them. Next year then we could talk of such engagement. Now what about a vacation ?

>>3384926

The fey would try and not touch the material, and it would be treated with caution, but it won't cause any particular harm outside of at most causing any fey killed by it to take longer to come back unless it was pure or cold iron.

Either way, over time, attacks on siege engines would seem to die down for a bit, the fey seemingly scouting out the armies and looking for important people and supply locations rather than striking out. Naturally, after a bit a large raid is coordinated to go out to the locations where food and other supplies were found and burn them, this includes the alcohol supplies which likely burn quite nicely. Of course, after this raid, the fey would regroup and prepare, for it seemed that the enemy was preparing for a proper assault.

>>3384998
"You must understand that we have not had a choice but to hold where we have. The areas which we hold are the last supply lines for the people in that city, who's ruler has abandoned them and to whom we are the last hope. The dwarves began this. They have broken the rules of war and yet still we asked for peace. We have no plans to advance or conquer, only to hold the lands we currently have and to ensure the safety of those under our care. Please, I beg you. Do not soil your hands in this dirty affair. Do not take part in this war."

>>3384926
On the contrary, while the largest and best guarded weapons remain intact, a significant number of ballistas and, more importantly, their operators are killed. While the bulk of the army remains intact, the siege weapons would be at roughly 60% functionality.

The dwarves, unable to see through the thick fog, stumble upon various homesteads. Very few people live in these forests, and those who do are generally desperately poor. The dwarves gain a few iron implements, cookware, and a cold iron dagger. When they encamp to overnight, they find that the lines that were intended to bring food to them have disappeared. They have the supplies that individuals were carrying with them and food from a few dozen homesteads, but their food will soon run out.

>I. Mount in the next post

>>3385324
The partisans still clearly active are now to be targeted further.
A particularly dark dwarf leads the soldiers and offers new ways to potentially solve their problems.
Any villages or homesteads are looted and razed.
Inhabitants are rounded up outside their dwellings to be tied by the limbs to several goats, eviscerated, and dismembered by said goats.
The spectacle is hard to watch by most dwarves but it sends a clear message by anyone watching or discovering the scene after the fact.
Cooks are given dismembered limbs to feed to the army unknowingly in order to supplement the loss of supplies from the enemy.

The dwarves would continue until the supposed partisan attacks on them cease.

>>3385454
Again, there are very few homesteads in the area. Very few people(5 dozen) are found in the area, amounting to 4,860,000 calories. Assuming the dwarves have a active metabolic rate 75% of an average man(extremely generous, by the way) , there is a remaining 57 million calorie deficit which must be filled per meal. The vast majority of soldiers sleep on empty stomachs and sick hearts from what they just witnessed.

Also witnessing the spectacle are the Tarnish armored swordmen who were responsible for the confusion. Their hand mirrors relay the spectacle back to the capital and through the routing center, where it was displayed on mirrors across the lands. Uwuin, Dwarven, Tarnish, Narsic; ordinary citizens of all class and creed sit in shock as they watch innocents being slaughtered en masse in such a gruesome fashion. Across the continent, a white-faced Tarnish diplomat struggled not to retch as he showed the live feed to Cor Tyranny.

>>3384998
"Is this truly the brave-hearted dwarves you spoke of? Who would kill civilians in such a fashion? Are these the allies you are willing to kill your friends and your brothers for?"

The two stare, unable to look away as the bodies are dragged away, given to cook dwarves and put into the dinner stew. The same scenario plays out across the continent, mirrors dispassionately displaying the crimes of the dwarves to the world. What nations do after this will be up to them.

>>3385454
>>3384998
>>3384514
>>3384544
This affects all of you to varying degrees.

>>3385557
>>3384998
The dwarven lords being sent the imagery and likely knowing that others were sent this as well would inform the Elves the methods the dwarves are forced to use to prevent the vicious raids sent by the Tarn which they conveniently don't bring up. Would they be willing to fight in the open and not deprive them of resources they would fight honorable and take prisoners, but without such options or resources to feed prisoners, it cannot be done. The dwarves are simply backed into a corner.

>>3385557
The dwarves would issue an apology to the Tarn for the acts of the north army. They would explain the methods used to be unique in this situatuion and that those responsible would be delivered to the Hall of Hammers to be judged once the war is concluded.

>>3383736

>Action One
With the sages Imbuing the magical energy around the city, more noble fey seem to come about, however, seeing an opportunity, those working on the Carved Capital Palace of Caffodwol seem to get them to focus their work on the capitol building as it is finished up, requiring only a few very minor touches to complete. Needless to say, this makes the building so filled with magics that even one unskilled with said magics could simply sense the power imbued into its carved walls, and said carvings now have a minor soft glow to them, making the building beautiful in the night. Something also of note is Liri's connection to the building, and as of late, the queen of Cafoddwol has been much more...energized as of late...

>Action Two
Caraway has continued her bout of successful work, and seemed to make a breakthrough, both literally and figuratively. Using very careful techniques and rituals that even for a fey queen like herself are exhausting, one can find a safe world beyond this one full of magic to siphon into this world and specifically the location where the ritual was done. Needless to say, this breakthrough is celebrated by her and she went right away to Liri to inform her of her success along with teaching the other Fey kings and queens she could the knowledge of how to do it. Once she was finished with this, she would go back to her home in Kansertsterne to continue her work on the process, trying to refine it further and make it push more magic into the region from the realm its taking it from along with quite simply making it less exhausting to do. Though, work on actually refining the process to be more efficient is...slow to say the least.

>>3383634
>>The Kamadani Cyclopes

>Clockwork gyroscopic stabilizers
>Refined Weaponsmithing

As the cyclopes tinker around with their clockwork more and more, they realize how the rotations of gears, cogs, and wheels can destabilize the piece if they spin too much or have too much weight offset. The clockwrights continue down this line of thought, designing things just meant to spin around, and soon they have made the gyro. A fanciful globe of rings that spin around on different axes; that manages to stay balanced and maintain its original position. It doesn't do much right now, other than look really cool and not fall over.

After the events on Hytza, and numerous field tests, the cyclopes have come to the sad realization that their weapons, while beautiful and sturdy, are poor at doing their intended purpose. With numerous examples available to them, including Gorgon, Uwuin, and Mesian weapons, the cyclopes get to work on understanding just what makes a good weapon and how to apply that to their own strengths and weaknesses.
Cyclopes tend to favor weapons with larger reach; enabling them to hit the ground without bending over, so they can deal with the more numerous small threats, while also letting them fend off bigger threats with range. These typically include poleaxes, halberds, war-scythes, warclubs, and pikes. Letting momentum and mass do the hard work, these weapons still require a lot of finesse to master, so that one does not overextend or leave themselves too open. As such Primes are the ones most talented with their use, and especially those of the Tree school.

>Kefalés' Bizarre Adventure
Leaving with the dwarves, Kefalés takes her time exploring the wondrous canals of Avkurg, before making her way around to meet Agalma in the dwarven valley.
She usually floats along with life, bouncing and skipping merrily, over-enthused with how much walking she is able to do now. Also because she doesn't really want to think right now. Sometimes she completely misses when she's supposed to pay a toll. She typically offers to help if people can get her attention, with unloading cargo or other manual labor. But for the most part she's just enjoying life.
She spends a couples days with Agalma. Making him embarrassed and self conscious due to her much more outgoing and curious nature. He still enjoys seeing another cyclopes again after so long, but at the same time wishes she'd be a bit quieter with her hobbies.

>Mage weapons
>College
The ability to imbue objects with magic inspires the smiths. Under the guidance of the chuan smiths, metal bows are constructed. These bows are designed to shoot out arrows at never before speeds due to the strength of the below and also with wind magic embedded in the bow, causing the arrow to shoot faster and travel farther. The bow is also designed to channel magic through it, allowing narsics to shoot elemental arrows, tier power based on the skill of the spellcaster and the creativity of the shooter. (Some basic arrows include a fire arrow that pierces, a water arrow that causes a small amount of water to form, this can be used to drown people above water by filling their lungs with water. and an earth arrow that can make the ground soft and hard to traverse. Further arrows to come with future turns)

In the interest pursuing knowledge, a grand college is built. This college is meant to become one of the most enlightened places in the entire world. Any and all races are welcome here Diplomats are sent to everyone in the world, offering to learn to those willing to come. They also look for professors to teach there as well.

>>3386227
A diplomat is sent to the Cyclops to purchase things of beauty and arts. While he is there he tells the Cyclops that they have formed a college, a great place of learning. He invites any cyclops who wish to come to the college to learn. He also looks for a professor to teach about cyclopean history and craft there.

>>3386211
