Great news!

Usually we have to send out our consultants to convince other companies to hand over their trendy clothes and shiny bling. In a surprising event a gate opened up in the middle of a neighboring city and 344 fully clothed and blinged consultants from Yet Another Faction stepped out confused and beliwildered. They must not have planned this visit in advance. Now we get to deprive them of their valuables without chasing them around.

Its nice when shinies arrive at your doorstep.

Thornhaven seeks peace for all!

Winter is coming.

Elfs are enough for almost everything. But we like goblins more.

First Mate: "Captain, this is confounding! We've just departed, yet an unknown island looms ahead. What trickery is this?"


Captain: "No idea, but we're not sailing past it. Change course and prepare to make landfall. We need to uncover the mystery."

come one come all! :)

That was unexpected. And where did those pesky lizards go?

There is no room for expansion. All places are taken!

Quaskim was once a beautiful city. Who knows what fate is awaits it in the future?

It's been our experience, that although we always expect to be attacked, we are always surprised when we are. 

As Knights of the skies swooped down the city of Mephstoke, they quickly dealt with Crooked Hoves faction, but the victory was short lived. Friendly locals told that these lands are full with many factions that quarrel for every small piece of land and finding way to equator could be rather challenging. 
Council of Lords did not wait. Time was short and the great freezing was almost upon them. The Knights of the skies were now ordered to fly to northeast forests and find a route to equator at all costs.

"Captain - the troops refuse to do anything.  They keep saying something about 'holidays.'"
     "What?  What do they mean?"
"I guess they think they can take a break from the battle for some reason?  Very unclear"
    "Remind them that the Balrogs don't take breaks - and that we always are looking for scouts for the underworld.  That'll get them moving....."

The time has come, the walrus said, to speak of many things.
Of swords, and ships, and fire staves,
Of amulets and rings!

What a mess - that cloud giant did a lot of damage!

"Hold back, hold back. Don't attack!"
"What's the problem?"
"One of our units has been slacking on their studies; they're not quite ready for battle."

Wolves.

The early sun and the pain in his wound woke him up. The fever subsided and his life was no longer in danger. He should thank his soldiers for this, who gave their lives in yesterday's battle for him and his faith, and also that beautiful girl who washed and sewed up his wounds that night. He miraculously got out of the battle yesterday. The robbers managed to pull up reinforcements. The forces were not equal and his vanguard was destroyed. It was supposed to happen but a little later. Well. The Great One did not hear his prayer. Luck doesn't last forever. This is a science for his future!

... But how beautiful is this girl at the window! A new feeling settled in his soul next to Faith in the Holy Deed...

We have new armies arriving from the south, swords and shining mithril armors. We would like to know that they seek in these lands.

Whites vs. Blacks

We survived but assassins with winges horses are coming.

Those rumors of falling rocks are just rumors.

Running headlong into the wall of despair that is trying to find a rhyme for vodka.

Too many dragons !

Time to move the show, the signs are clear.

Mithral Mithral Mithral, as far as the eye can see.
I suspect some of it will be coming our way soon.
Some of the elite troops are already putting in requests.

- Your majesty our sailors are very brave but extremely stupid.
- Why?
- They jumped out of the ship and swim instead of sailing.

do we need it?

We will see you the other side of the apocalypse. May your people survive the winds of catastrophe.

From the diary of Gale Swifthands

Baicstowe is back under allied control. I'm puzzled about the outcome. Why did the tactician of faction 101 allow his men to get slaughtered like this? They could have fled or avoided the battle entirely by leaving the few men inside the city to their fate. Shakaa is scratching his scaled head about this mystery as well. He is the best tactician we have. He led our combined forces to victory with only a handful of losses while the enemy lost about 200 men and about a hundred swords and a hundred mounts. If only all our battles went so smoothly.

A writer is needed for a news column for a newspaper.
Accommodation in a tent. Meals One time per month. There is a dragon living behind the bush, so no security is required.

What a mess. Can someone let me know when the dust settles.

[Dumps ballast].

Well, what do we do. 

Apparently in the very near future we are all going to have to eat popsicles. 

Some say move, but I say let the tongue freeze!

To all tourists passing near Momouth, a new inn just opened this month!
First pint of beer is for free tonight... Enjoy!

With one word - unexpected.

Undergrounder celebrates archery.  Some of the living claim that archery has been "converted into foam" (maybe that didn't translate right?) and that only mountains' equipment is decent.  Hmm, the Decapods of Monster Hunters were using mountains' equipment.  But they had no shields.  Undergrounder celebrates archery.  Archery might work against opponents without shields.  Undergrounder shall devote the first part of his second life to Celebratory archery.  If Ed is the ancestor who grants wishes, Undergrounder shall be the ancestor who grants behindness.

Ninmahal celebrates ranks and titles.  And hierarchy.  And partition.  The Celebrants need more local government, Ninmahal reasons, and now that Ninmahal can paint dreams, the Celebrants shall begin to agree with him.  Some shall dream of Mayors, some of Governors, some of Chiefs, some of Nawabzaadis and Eldresses.  Ninmahal shall partition the Celebrants' Ring, and put a Celebrant in charge of the Celebrants in each area of the Ring.  Well, no, that might go badly.  Ninmahal shall put several Celebrants in charge of the Celebrants in each area of the ring.  Only then will Celebrants be able to treat foreign scouts and spies with the respect they deserve.  If Ed is the ancestor who grants wishes, Ninmahal shall be the ancestor who grants titles.

Shamir the Woodsman celebrates the old fashioned horse and wagon caravan.  Or, that is, he would like to celebrate the old fashioned horse and wagon caravan, but that caravan didn't come last month.  Shamir waits for the caravan.  Shamir has enough wood to trade for a Collectible Combatant Trading Card, and wishes the caravan would hurry up and get here so he can buy one.  Shamir is hoping for a Runner card.

Cristata celebrates patience.  She seem to need patience while waiting for her wish about Ed to come true.  Cristata hates wish a passion having to start each of her messages with "Cristata celebrates".  In the meantime, while waiting for Ed to die, or at least transcend, perhaps Cristata should worry about the war developing on her southern border.  There was supposed to be a nice truce line agreed there, but something went wrong.  Something always goes wrong.  In this world, anyway.  Things worked better in other worlds, she is told.  Cristata is on the side of the line she negotiated a right to be on, but she isn't sure the truce still holds, and she isn't sure her allies ever wanted a truce LINE anyway, she suspects her allies just wanted a non-aggression pact with no specifications about who holds which regions.  Sigh.  What good is that, if one's neighbors can just say "we aren't killing you, but you need to move over there now."  Cristata hopes she is allowed to stay in Latre.  And she doesn't mean stay in a plot 6 feet long and three feet wide, either.  Cristata would like to live to write an article that does not begin, "Cristata celebrates".  Perhaps she should learn a backline skill to decrease the chance she will die in a minor border dispute before her wish has a chance to kill Ed?  But with a family name like "Proteles", you can guess that while Cristata just wants to cook and make wagons and shields for the war, the elves will expect her to stand in the front lines holding one of her shields.  Why do the elves get to stay safely in the back, anyway?  Elves say they live longer than we do, so they cannot risk their long lives in the front lines, while the rest of us are going to die soon whether or not we go to war.  Cristata thinks the elves live longer than we do because they make us stand in front of them with the shields.  Wretched elves.  Cristata does NOT celebrate elves.

Observes Ice celebrates Wretched Castaway's island.  Wretched Castaway has allowed Observes Ice and his wife to use Castaway's Island as an observing station for the astronomers' calamity.  At this time, Castaway's Island has a healthy tribe of wild horses, and a larger herd of Island Aurochs.  Castaway's island is covered in a thin, hard, greyish green grass that humans and lizardwomen cannot eat.  Castaway's island has a little lichen on the rocks that horses, aurochs, humans and lizardmen cannot eat.  Castaway's island is surrounded on all sides by abundant fish.  Observes Ice has read the astronomers' prediction that it will soon become colder at the southern edge of the world.  Observes Ice knows that the colder the water becomes, the more dephlogistonated air the water can hold, and so Observes Ice predicts that the fish populations will soon begin to increase as the temperature goes down.  His wife, who pays more attention to the prophets than to the astronomers, thinks the prophesies claimed it shall become hard to live in the south.  Describes Southern Islands is predicting that the ocean surface will freeze.  She thinks the fish will, in their usual fishy ways, add phlogiston to the water as they swim around and eat each other.  The new ice will prevent phlogiston from escaping the sea's surface.  So she predicts the fish populations will soon begin to decrease as ice forms at the sea surface and fish begin to die off, poisoned by their own phlogiston.  Her husband thinks believing in prophesies isn't very scientific.

Time to remove the monsters around us.

From the heart of the swirling vortex, a torrent of warriors erupted, their armor gleaming under the otherworldly radiance of the magic portal. They emerged from a realm of myth and legend, their ranks composed of knights clad in enchanted steel, archers with arrows of stardust, and sorcerers wielding arcane energies. The sudden appearance of this otherworldly army sent shockwaves through the tranquil kingdom, its inhabitants gaping in awe and trepidation. The warriors, however, bore no malice, their presence a beacon of hope amidst the kingdom's growing turmoil. They had come from a realm teetering on the brink of destruction, seeking refuge and allies in this idyllic land. Their arrival marked the dawn of an extraordinary alliance, a fusion of two worlds destined to forge a legend that would echo through the ages.

Scout was not found. Found a circus

Get ready to jump.

Death itself is approaching...
The second sun lit up on the horizon.
All the people hastily started to collect their things...

il y a des tortues...

While the surface will freeze, the underworld will be destroyed by furious lava flows and hordes of demons and balrogs...
We are all doomed!

A few locals are whispering about an unseasonal frost that happened in the tundra of Beinilland where 13 grain were killed.  This frost will be known as the frost near the lake of Wardcot.
