sorry about that, I noticed it a few mins. after the schedule when the server was already running.

I delayed hosting by 24h, so the next turn is due sunday 18.30 GMT.

I will not be online thursday till tuesday afternoon. I will try to find a sub, or does anybody else need a break?

There is loud cries and shouting in the north. Women are crying and the old men frown about the meaning. News of the war hadn't been good, lately. The battle Citala was a bitter defeat. Has the enemy overrun Silbermark? The people in the north have packed their stuff and are prepared to leave and burn their homes.

Fierce is the shouting and smoke is rising. Then messengers are coming. They wear Ulmish gear! So, the worst fears have come true. But behold, these are faces well known in the realm, these are some of our own chieftains! Have they betrayed us?

They are cheering and a joyful rage is in them. Then their voices could be heard. Victory! Victory! they cry showing their trophies. The enemy, thinking our forces were scattered and easy prey, found our ranks stronger than before! Few of the once mighty steel warriors live to tell the story of their disaster. Will they dare to present themselves before their chieftains?

Though this battle was won, Ulm is not defeated. Yet.

His fault...all his fault. After the easy victories in Citala and the Summerlands he, StormCrow, Prophet of Klaus FrostFather, had ordered an attack of his best troops on Silbermark. But almost no archers or Shaman support. Idiocy, in hindsight...

The fighting was fierce and the losses fairly even, but the day went to the Marverni. The last of the volunteer Militia went down in a blaze of glory, but their loss tipped the scales and caused an early rout.

Time to regroup and await the next Marverni onslaught.

Abysia has broken its NAP-3 with Caelum. They have violated the terms of the agreement by not giving us any prior warning, deciding to simply attack across the border without provocation. Everyone should be warned that Abysia is not to be trusted, and will violate any treaties you have with it if it is convenient. I would encourage anyone else with borders to Abysia to attack it now while they are busy with me; their troops are far in the north and have stratmove one, so it will be hard for them to respond to an attack on multiple fronts.

Anyone who thinks they are safe with Abysia because they have a NAP is wrong. We of Caelum call upon all nations to rid the world of such a base nation.

Abysia has determined that the cold loving birdmen must go. And Lord Methias is in need of a new source of blood slaves.

As already announced at the beginning, I will be away Thursday till Tuesday.

fungalreason volunteered to substitute me during those days. I will leave as detailed instructions as possible, but I would ask you to neither cut my aka Dominatorix of Marverni's throat while away nor be too friendly, just because of that.

If you send him any messages, I'd ask you to send me, also, to avoid misunderstandings.

Regarding administration, either somebody is willing to do it while I'm away, or you have to contact llamabeast during the meantime.
