Its about time for a new thread, and with it, a new level. Congrats all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stories trickle in from accross the world. It seems that the Twice-Damned have chosen to make their moves in many places at once.
1. Thay has unleashed its armies on its enemies both to the North and to the Southwest, surging into Rasheman and Aglorand with Zulkirs (Each Zulkir is Thay's highest-level specialist wizard in his or her specialized school) having been sighted at the head of their armies. Thayan humans are butressed by many thousands of undead, humanoids, and exotic monsters, as well as Wyvern-riders. The Rashemis are holding their ground, but Aglorand's army has been rather unsucessful and has been forced to rely on its famous rangers to slow down the Thaysn with guerilla tactics. For some reason, however, the Simbul, the mighty sorceress who rules Aglorand, has yet to make an appearance, and without her, it is likely that Aglorand will fall.
2. War has broken out between Cormyr and Sembia. Cormyr's Regent, Princess Alusair (ruling on behalf of her infant nephew), announced that Sembian agents had plotted to assassinate the young king and destroy key garrisons with evocation magic in preparation for an invasion. The conspiritors were captured and executed, and the Cormyran navy has attacked the Sembian port city of Daerloon, while the army has beseiged Highcastle, the capital of the High Dale, which contorls the pass between Cormyr and Sembia. While highcastle has yet to fall, Cormyr's armies are bypassing it and streaming into Sembia. Sembia's new leader, in power for mere days, is desperately seeking to mobilize his forces before its too late.
3. A humanoid army gathered in the North is larger and stronger than previously thought. It has laid waste to several smaller towns. Rumor has it that Kurin's fiendpires have joined up with the humanoid force, and hta tthe demons of Hellgate Keep have joined with them rather thna face thier wrath. Their mighty ogre leader is rumored to be unwoundable in combat and is said to never miss a strike. He has a number of warrior allies nearly as strong who lead his armies.
