Winter 992 - Campaign Update

The final campaigning season of the year has seen more changes to the political geography of Talomir. Altengard continued its unstoppable progress through its neighbours, taking one third of the island nation of Valkae this season. Mirish, likewise proving to be a juggernaut trampling its weaker neighbours under its elephants' feet, crushed an incursion by Northern Tropilium. The Capalan League overcame recent difficulties to defeat Tereken. Treyine cut Tropilium in half, forcing the weaker empire to sue for peace. Meanwhile in the east the undead of The Abyss have massed and added the dwarven nations to their burgeoning kingdom. The stage is being set for an almighty clash of empires.
