It was dark and dim all day. From the sunless dawn until evening the heavy shadow deepened, and all hearts in the city were oppressed. Far above a great cloud streamed slowly westward from the Black Land, devouring light, borne upon a wind of war; but below the air was still and breathless, as if all the Vale of [Utgard] waited the onset of a ruinous storm.
It is now, that the Impaler, Valery Dracul, announces the beginning of the Grand Crusade: a coalition of nations whose goal shall be to put an end, once and for all, to the frozen menace of Utgard. All are invited to join in the final partition of Utgard and the liberation of Pangaea and Tien Chi.
Sorry, Lama, but you are growing way too fast and large, and we have no choice but to protect our long term interests.
For now, all I shall say is that R'lyeh, Pangaea, and I are in this, till the bitter end (or in R'lyeh's case, until he is forced from the surface).
