The last month on which the dwarves moved, all their existing forces were
involved. One army was drawn to the Sylvania border, to be surrounded the
following month. The second force was intercepted as it attempted to strike
toward our capital. The third force tried to break the siege of their capital,
and was destroyed. The only survivor was their pretender. Her uncanny
resemblance to Lady Elena stayed the hand of our warriors, and she was
allowed to escape to the south.

There was NOTHING for them to do anymore. All three forces had been
reduced, why would they attack again? The dwarves have fallen prey
to despair, their warriors flee as our forces march on, and their
peasantry flocks to our priests. Their mountain citadel is the last
refuge of the failed regime, and in time, it too will fall. I guess
their military leader felt he had nothing to contribute.

As for the elves, we consider them our friends. We regret that they seem
have to slipped back to their hereditary ennui, but we will certainly not
take advantage of this. We would be happy if they elected a new general.

And in any case, it appears that a new dwarven leader has emerged.
