KNOWN MOVEMENTS BY DARKNESS
The Baklunish Confederation now has the full strength of Esmerin and Orcreich, and some strength from nations further west, on the ground in their territory.
According to Darkness, the Baklunish troops are digging in and holding there positions ... UNTIL either Darkness or Williams (who has been given the authority by Darkness to use these troops) makes a further statement on the boards.
The assault on Zindia continues without relent, the combined strength of Varnaith, Erypt, and Suhfang hammering away at the defenders in the equatorial rainforest and Below.
Erypt is being fortified, with high powered undead and mages guarding all strategic points, and troops deployed.
Esmerin is using the forces they did not send to aid the Baklunish to fortify their country.
Darkness states Williams has complete authority over his troops (but must keep Darkness's PC safe!)
If Williams cannot be present, Williams may designate SOMEONE ELSE to run Darkness's forces, and Darkness has authorized this.
KNOWN MOVEMENTS BY FESTY DOG
Based on his e-mails read so far:
A large force from the Hive Cluster is heading to Zindia, to help the star dwarves, gnomes, and lizardmen there beat back the assault from Erypt, Suhfang, and Varnaith.
A massive force from the Hive Cluster is assailing the Kevellond League - the long threatened attack has started.
The Kevellond League is under heavy attack in the Yeomanry, Sterich, Geoff, and across the Crystalmists and Barrier Peaks.
CONCERNING THE SHADES
They are more powerful than first thought. You have a PC and some new NPCs to deal with.
Here they are (I am allowing this because Lord Melkor has devoted endless time and numbers of posts to these people.)
dena, Shadow Empire was supposed to be very powerful, but our level isn`t among the highest. Could you add the following NPC`s and add their power level to those of mine:
Shadowlord Baelros, Demon Lord of The Shadow, pl 2
Shadowlord Rhamagaum, mighty spellcaster and Shade lich, pl 2
Shadowlady Ahlissa, Shade, Drow, female, very high level enchantress and rogue, pl 2
Shadowlord Waganard, powerful lich, pl 2
Shadowlord Azorgax, King of Shadow Dragons, Great Wyrm Shadow Dragon and sorcecer, pl 2
Shadowlord Sauros, Shade Mind Flayer, very high level psion and assasin, pl 2
Shadowlord Rivalen Tanthul, High Prince of Netherese and Archpriest of Shade, very high level spellcaster, divine and arcane, pl 2( his stats in LOD are from 40 years before).
KNOWN MOVEMENTS BY UVENELEI
Based on his e-mails read so far:
The forces of the Wind Dukes of Aaqu are in the Baklunish Confederation with a PL of 25.
They are being strengthened with what technology the Wind Dukes have (PL 4.)
This force has been given to Williams to control.
The nations of Lyrn and Ishtarland are asking the dwarven spelljammers (those mountains can hold a lot of people) or the Sea-Sky League to come over and ferry their troops east into the map area.
Uvenelei wishes to deploy 40 PL this way (he can do it, if the dwarves or the Sky-Sea League help him.)
Uvenelei has set up a special strike force, consisting of 15 PL, and Aurican and Zagyg are leading it. This force is also under William's control, on the condition that if Aaqa, Lyrn, or Ishtarland are attacked, the strike force immediately returns there to defend those nations.
This means the Shade Empire is more dangerous than ever, so please take note!

CONCERNING KAS
This is an e-mail I received:
Then so it will be. The forces of Kas will remain idle, but extremely ready to defend against attack during the second turn.
So, there it is. The Legions of Kas are sitting idle in Nyrond, which they hold.
But they are doing something, alright. They are feverishly resurrecting lost people, creating new undead, and bringing back powerful undead lost in the battle on Turn 1.
