We should have the magical power needed to cast that spell, though if the beast should be capable of flight it would seem unwise to use it. Since the beast appeared to be winged, we are assuming that this is so.
Unfortunately, I must cut this missive short. I am needed for one last spell before the evacuation.Status: Recovering. ETA: 3 days

Re: [IC] TW:epic fantasy
beginning of turn 10
untold riches: the queendom of faluna has been uncovering long forgotten dungeons and treasure hoards almost daily now and has attracted countless adventurers seeking to do just that. all adventurers are welcome and for a small share of the loot they are allowed to explore at-will
end of the conclave: it appears the magus conclave is on its death bed facing troubles both internal and foreign in nature. after having half of their remaining members bought out by other factions, the risen empire itself launched a daring raid on one of the conclaves towers wiping out the very small garrison left protecting it.
victory at last: in the early months of the season, a massive army from the reforged empire marched north alongside provincial soldiers of former harmonioum lands. resistance was almost non-existant until the armies reached the massive hatred fortress, which the harmonioum empire had just completed. the fortress was taken at heavy cost, but the brave soldiers marched onward to the capital.
the armies layed siege to the capital of the imperial dynasty for weeks on end without making a dent in the walls...until another massive army from the trade federation arrived after landing on the relatively undefended east coast. together the two massive armies finally overwhelmed the demoralized defenders and slew the last remmants of the imperial dynasty...the harmonioum empire has now ceased to exist.
the beast... the massive beast from the north continued its advance south into the risen empire, until it was halted by an ancient spiritual dragon summoned by the mages of the risen empire and a massive hit and run fire-barrage from deep troll forces. this halt only lasted a short time however with the beast succesfully crushed the unsupported dragon and continued its advance.
though the delay gave the empire time to evacuate all its mages and alot of its wealth, the beast did destroya good portion of the fabled city of patria before realizing the mages were no longer there. with the empires mages heading underground through deep troll dead-iron tunnels the beast appears to be heading even further south...into the lands of the zexan consortium. the consortium is now organizing a massive evacuation effort
lady of the oaks: the lady of the oaks continued her subversion of the elven tribes until a massive joint strike by the queendom and reforged kingdoms agents, managed to stall her advance and fight her influence. elven forces still stand divided and open-war appears all but inevitable

Magi of The Risen Empire
To: The Reforged Kingdom[+++++ +++]
Spoiler
My best guess is that the attack was executed due to the fragmentation of the Empire. There was a plan on the books for a counter-strike on the magus conclave should the Risen Empire fall, due to the discovery of the Magus Conclave war plans against us. Unfortunately, I am out of contact with the other fragments at this time, and can not verify this.Status: Recovering. ETA: 3 days

Re: [IC] TW:epic fantasy
mid-turn update
a new hope: with the aid and support of the reforged kingdoms goodwill, the magus conclave has rallied within itself turning away all possible mergers. sources also indicate a large force of hellraisers has been seen guarding their tower
the empire strikes back: right after the magus conclave rallied and pulled itself together, a strike team from the risen empire took a 2nd tower from the conclave. they took heavy losses but it was taken nonetheless. risen empire gains asset [tower of the magi]
the evacuation:the beast that is now called "the destroyer" by many commoners continues its advance southward devouring all in its path including several consortium run trading hubs. however thanks to the goodwill of several nations, the zexan consortium managed to evacuate most of its resources out of the beasts reach as it continues south
the lady of the oaks: total-war between the free elves and the forces of the lady of the oaks breaks out, causing several vicious skirmishes, but the arrival of forces from the reforged kingdom and the queendom of faluna arrive to prevent any other overt action from being taken by either side.

Re: [IC] TW:epic fantasy
beginning of turn 12
the destroyer: the great destroyer continues its advance south, until it finally realizes that the majority of the great magical energies of the world lied to the east. the beast now turns east towards the magical towers of the magi!
the split: it appears the risen empire is indeed split in two. a massive horde of the dead was called up by the mages of the empire, and attacked their own towers eliminating all traces of this splinter group.
the invasion: it is a quiet, sunny day when the risen empire finally decided to begin its move back to the surface, only to find a massive army led by the reforged empire and the queendom of faluna poised on the border. it wasnt long before this massive army surged northward laying waste to any imperial holdings in their path, completely decimating local security forces. the army now stands ready to lay siege to what remains of the great city of patria
the isle of dhevan: although the rebuilding of dhevan is complete thanks to the massive expenditure by the risen empire, venetian isles and the jacks collective. however the isle is still leaderless and citizen militia's and streetgangs are threatening war against eachother

Spoiler
The Empire is split. The beast rages. The people of Dhevan yet suffer.
Among all of this, you are deciding to invade? You, who have stood for peace and defense? Have you returned, then, to your demonic roots?
If you should seek peace, then I will listen. Until then, however, a state of war shall exist between us for the act of harming my people. I shall see you and yours upon the battlefield.
From: The Risen Emperor
To: The Risen Empire [+++++ +++]
Spoiler
The Reforged Kingdom and its ally, the Queendom of Faluna, have invaded our lands. The magi shall rise against these invaders. I would ask that you do not, and instead seek to aid the Isle of Dhevan. If this war should turn against us, the Empire will live on with you.
From: The Risen Emperor

Spoiler
I am invoking the mutual defense treaty due to the recent invasion by the Reforged Kingdom and the Queendom of Faluna.
I am sorry that this should happen.
From: The Risen Emperor
To: The Grim [????? ??]
Spoiler
I am sorry that war should come under these circumstances. Until the Destroyer is no longer, however, we would like to stay within these caverns.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you would rather we leave rather than bring war to this place, then I understand.
From: The Risen Emperor
To: The Trade Federation [?????]
Spoiler
As the remaining great power on this continent, we would request your neutrality in this conflict.
From: The Risen Emperor
To: The Jack Collective [+++++ +++]
Spoiler
Due to the recent conflict between myself and my former division of espionage, I find myself to be rather short on spies. I would like to request an estimate on the price of information.
From: The Risen Empire
To: Isle of Dhevan Citizens [???]
Spoiler
Our army will continue to provide stability as best it can until a government should be established.
In the interim, the tome of citizenship lies open for any who wish to enter their name.
The Gates of Patria [World Event]
Spoiler
The Empire from the mists of time sleeps beneath the boots of foreign invaders this day. Armies advance, and the people flee.
From the caverns beneath the world, where refuge has been taken from the assault of the Destroyer, the Emperor watches. A speech is given, and an action decided upon.
"Let us not bear this invasion peacefully, but instead seek to defend the Empire from its enemies. It is time to once more unseal the blade of Patria, to defend this empire from invaders."
And so the blade of the Emperor once more leaves its sheath, and the gates of death once more open upon the world. Legions of the honored dead stride forth, and take up formation once more. Squad by squad, century by century, cohort by cohort, legion by legion, the plains of Patria are filled by risen soldiers. All told, the legions number only seven short of an entire century of legions.
The earth shakes as the golden-steel boots of the countless legions marches forward to face the invaders, their spears sharp, their blades ready, and the banners once more waving over the land.
Deep beneath the quaking earth, the Emperor watches...

We would like to point something out. A massive thing has appeared and is proceeding to destroy the place. Know, we don't give a rats ass what you have against the risen. Yes, we agree that they're stunt on devhan was a bit much, but they have been trying to fix it. And let me ask you this. When the damn thing is done in the east, where will it go next? We have enough dead iron shielding that it won't be able to tell we're here, but you bunch on the surface? Before you attack the risen, kill the damn beast.

I have confidence that our army will be sufficient to match theirs in this war. They were able to commit the equivalent of 40 legions to the recent battles. I have sent 80 legions to the surface to do battle with them.
They strongly outnumber our navy, however. My ships will aid as best they can, but I fear that they are comparatively few in number.

Exactly how many Naval Assets do you have? We will need them if we are to fight the Navy of both Faluna and the Reforged. Faluna alone is formidable on the water, and with the Risen it will certainly be challenging. If you think your Army is sufficient then we will leave our army to enforce order until a government can be set up on Dhevan. Is anyone else willing to aid you in this?

Re: [IC] TW:epic fantasy
mid-turn update
war in the north: the war between the coalition of the reforged kingdom and the magical might of the risen empire continues. at first it seems like the battle is hopeless for the valiant soldiers of the risen empire, but then the archmages of the empire turned to necromancy, calling up thousands upon thousands of their dead ancestors to turn the tide. the queendom forces present were pushed back through sheer numbers, but the reforged kingdom managed to hold the line and prevent defeat. queendom forces are even now regrouping to return to the battle
meanwhile out at sea, the naval fleets of the coalition, watched over by the massive gnomish airships stand oppisite the formidable fleet of the venetian isles and the risen empires own tiny fleet. battle on that front will likely be joined very soon
banishment!: in a desperate last ditch effort a contigent of mages led by king jack and the trade federation finally managed to succesfully banish the great destroyer despite the last attempts massive failure. the entire world breathes a sigh of relief as once again they are safe....trade federation gains [+++] WO for their succesful banishment
conflict on dhevan: the isle of dhevan breaks out into a fresh wave of fighting as security forces from the venetian isles clashes with the various street-gangs and citizen's militia's. the house-to-house fighting is extremely vicious, and the street-gangs actually manage to regain several neighborhoods. fortuanatly venetian forces escape without suffering any major losses as they now huddle behind hasily erected barricades to protect themselves
spread the joy: the zexan consortium is making a killing off of all the arms and armor they are selling to the various factions across the continent who are buying up every sword they can afford. the consortium in turn is putting most of these profits towards various charitable acts throughout the land
queendom to the jacks
Spoilertheir actions are clearly a threat to the entire world. first they decimate the populace of dhevan and then they attack the towers of the peaceful magus conclave. we dont want to fight you, please remain neutral
trade federation to risen empire
Spoilermost of the nations represented here do plan to remain neutral at this point in the war
