WAR UPDATE
Philidor the Blue Wizard is killed, and the mages of Kas take his body.
Then Anabstercorian shows up, in disguise, and assaults - on the side of the good guys.
Kas loses a large number of his best mages, before enough damage is done to Anabstercorian to force him to retreat.
The Legions of Kas, in their millions, swarm over Nyrond, and under orders begin moving in the direction of the Battle of the Flinty Hills, with the God Emperor has arrived personally to oversee the battle.
It is colossal.
On one side: The Seldanoran Army. The Peoples of the Flinty Hills. Garrel Enkdal. The Good Giants of the Rakers. The Gnomish Spelljamming Fleet. The Swanmay Host. Celestials and Guardinals. The forces of the Sky-Sea League.
On the other side: The immense forces of the Dark Union, with the God Emperor leading them personally. The Lost Elves of the Adri. Legions of neutral and evil Planars. The leading edge of the Legions of Kas.
In the south, the thunderstorm raging over Grandwood cannot be stopped.
Summoned Tempests (sentient thunderclouds) strike at the Salamanders, and the defenders, using their tunnels and caves, wreak havoc upon the invaders.
In Rel Astra, I am betting Drax the Invulnerable is raising an undead eyebrow.
Almor is now under the control of the Dark Union.
The Dark Union Navy is sunk.
Geoff is in the hands of the Kevellond League.
The treason of the Pomarj saved the southern Kevellond League.
The Forces of Shade are in a standoff against the Welkwood, Pomarj, Celene, and the Lortmils.
The Kevellond League cannot find Kalanyr's drow forces at all. They must be miles down.
If the forces of the Kevellond League wish to journey miles down into the Underdark, Williams must consent to that.
Otherwise, the Hosts of the Kevellond League do not pursue any further down.
The giants of the mountains are continuing to give the Kevellond League a bad time, but the robots are another matter - they are slaughtering the unprepared, medieval forces facing them with their laser cannons and high explosives.
However, the demipower Murlynd is now in the fray, and he is making a difference.
An all out firefight, magical and high-tech, is lighting up the Barrier Peaks for tens of miles all around.
The Vale of the Mage is no longer under attack, as the Kevellond Alliance realizes that it is (and always was) secretly allied with the forces of good.
Zindia continues to fight back against the invaders from Suhfang.
Suhfang is finding that their desert tactics are useless against the lizardmen in this equatorial rainforest region.
Unless further aid comes, or they think up something new, Zindia is holding firm against them.
Indeed, Zindia is winning.
The Fleet of Varnaith is now sitting in Relmor Bay. Apparently doing nothing, since Alys has not stated anything.
The People of the Shining Grottos also are idle ...
