CEOMYR
As the dinosaurs attacks continue to siege Ren, a mass emigration towards Gwullyra surges from the Ren. Nearly a thousand citizens flee the city, hoping to find protection a weeks march southeast. Of that thousand, only a few hundred make it to Gwullyra, carrying news of the besieged city and tales of the horrors encountered during the attempted escape.
Back on the Mainland, the Emperor sends envoys once again to Thoradur, bearing gifts and offering assistance, whether it be in the form of arms supply, labor, or soldiers. The envoys are instructed to take great care in making it seem like something the Empire needs more than the Dwarves, so as not to hurt their pride.
News of the plight of Ren finally reach the Emperor in late Autumn. He is heard to mutter "So, it has begun." and retires to his chambers for a week.
HIBRIDEAS
During the night, the King's ship drifts off course, and is attacked by ships bearing no flag. Some daring maneuvering by the captain saves the ship, and the life of the king.
The ships pilot is imprisoned, and it is discovered, before he is executed, that he was paid to let the ship drift off course. Although attempts against the king's life are far from uncommon, this even is disturbing, both in that it came so close to suceeding, but also, the ships course was secret, even to the pilot before he came on board. Someone close to the king must have leaked information.
KINRISAR
The Kingdom slowly begins to return to what was once considered normal life following the defeat of the Yuan Ti armies. The navy returns to more mercantile endeavors. Defense against the pirates of the eatern isles beomces more coordinated, and thus more effective.
Travel in the mountains and the western lands remains dangerous due to roving bandits and remnants of the abominations forces.
There are troubles in the east. Rumors of a cursed family and the return of a witch circulate around Virokon. The lands governed by the hobgoblin commanders of Ulruz become quiet. No one leaves and few are accepted from outside. Little in the way of trade is taking place from these counties.
LORLYNIA
Led by Narok, Gagruk Bloodsplitter's oldest son, the orcs poor out of their fortified city and push towards Idenynia. The fighting is fierce, and the orcs burn a few outlying buildings before they are stopped. A human from Caedmon, Thor Emblem, leads a few hundred mercineries against the mighty horde. Superior tactics and leadership makes up for what they lack in numbers and they are able to push the army of orcs back and fight to a stand still 20 miles from Idenynia. Exhausted, they await reinforcements. Prince Telendor also sends a small ship to Caedmon to check on his sister and brother-in-law.
MITTENDEIN
The Kaiser has come out of his seclusion and announced that there will be a grand national harvest celebration. The largest festival will be in Dumeldein, but most smaller towns will be having festivals of their own for those who do not wish to journey to the capital. In a controversial decision, he has also extended an invitation to the king of the Dwarves in Thoradur, an unexcpected step toward mending the once-strong trade ties between two great nations.
PALUDOSUS
After a particularly bountiful harvest a national holiday is declared in Paludosus and Talina's shrines are well visited. Locally however rumours are circulating that there have been a unusual number of ships lost on the southern reaches of the Paludosus River although the governer of the region and the trading costers deny the rumours.
ULRUZ
After boiling for 9 months, the troubles between the Legions and the bureaucrat son of the Emperor come to a head. General Antonius, having been recently assigned out of the Western Army for the Northern Army, is alleged to be a victim of assassination but credible sources say that he escaped, though none know where.
