Welcome!

this is the turn logs thread for Fluks in the Stardust story mode 5 player ffa. My adversaries threads are here: thread of The1Dijk, thread of Snorro Soliman, thread of iDreadReapr and the thread of Mauer.

If you participate and the game is still running then get off here immediately :p

Otherwise you have clearance for reading this which means you are part of the greater advisory counsel for the Ingott-consortia. Please feel free to leave remarks and suggestions but be aware that relaying them through the void to our personnel on the planet might take some time and due to the void still being unstable they might even get totally lost.
Still glad to have you here.

Pre-Mission report:
The Ingotts consortia has always been known to be a trustworthy partner for any industrious individual, company or even state. We handle and supply energy (and other ressources if necessary).
Recently our board of directors started investing in Voidtech, we hope by being a pioneer in this field we can get an edge over competitors; as Voidtech promises to revolutionize the transport and even generation of energy.
We sent Gerd R. Ingotts, a promising member of our consortia, trained in Voidtech and of course also educated in all necessary precautions to keep our energy vaults safe. He will open up a branch of Ingotts on Planet Stardust.
We have reliable intel that other parties are heading there too and his task is to make sure they become customers of our services, extending our consortias reach, influence and income.
In the following you’ll be relayed the reports G.R. Ingotts sends from Stardust.

1st Status Report: The locals strange cuisine
Director G.R. Ingotts -First status report:

We made Planetfall. Our base is located nicely next to the shore, mountains to the south and old, but still vaguely working Biodomes to the north, they produces some kind of gooey stuff with a nice smokey aroma though
Gavrilosk.PNG

The Biodomes are currently occupied by Spacers, but we could already come to terms with them, they are accepting us and already proposed a trade - Obviously eating too much of this smoked goo has confused their sense of taste, they want “Psifish sushi”…
Spacer-sushi.PNG


Of course we take this opportunity to show them that Ingotts is up to any task and we are sure soon we can make a deal to let us incorporate these Biodomes.

We also immediately ordered the assembly of another prospector in our (still to be named) capital, we can’t start early enough with the exploitation of this planet.

2nd Status Report: Of fish and fights
G.R. Ingotts -2nd status report: Of fish and fights

Not much happened during the second day, our two prospectors continued to prospect and we decided to focus on food production and research in our base. While we were on our way to the psifish hunting grounds indicated by the Spacers. It took us 2 days walking through the ruins and crossing a river to reach them.
These psifish are fascinating creatures indeed and we understand quite well why the spacers didn’t want to “hunt” them on their own. They fight viciously and nearly brought down one of our trenchers; another trencher let the nerves get the better of him during the fight with these shimmering entities and his spike gun hit me instead of the psifish he was aiming for.
Fortunately the DVR suits prevented worse and everybody is alive.
We are now on our way back through the ruins to the spacers, we need to talk about that compensation...
Attached is a picture of the Psi-Fish on this planets gorgeous landscape.

3rd status report: Cleaning operations
3rd status report: Cleaning operations

Dear Stakeholders,

It was an eventful day on planet Stardust. We, and I am sure you as well, were a bit disgruntled about the slightly one-sided deal. The spacers had us believe we’d just go fishing some rare fish in the nearby stream when in reality these psi-fish are floating monsters with psionic powers and we had to risk our lives hunting them down. The little (and sloppy!) work they did for us in return is no fair compensation.
So when arriving at the Tofu Biodome (that is the name of this gooey stuff produced there as we learned) we told them that next time we expect a better reward.
But instead of listening they “lol’d” at us calling us “lame n00bs” and worse. I am proud to say that my men stayed calm, demonstrating the professionalism needed in the service sector when customers are clearly overstepping their limits.
That was until an exceptionally fat spacer thought it funny to throw a piece of psi-fish sushi at Kalle (one of my trenchers) with the words “Oh no the psi-fish finally caught him, you better run n00b! -roflmao”. Kalle drew his spike gun and before I could intervene we heard a roaring “Clan war!” from the spacers and they jumped into all kinds of junk vehicles launching an attacked on us. The fat guy buckled a canister of rotten tofu and was using this biohazard as weapon. Their vehicles seem to be held together more by belief than by anything we’d call engineering and the fat rotten-tofu-thrower clearly was the biggest danger.
spacers.PNG

The fat spacer spraying his long expired smokey tofu slime over our pretty trenches.

Obviously the fight was over soon – for once bad customers got what they deserve and we are now in the possession of a working smokey tofu factory that will start production as soon as we have cleansed the mess the spacers left there. The only downside is that we are now marked as “opposing clan” on their message boards so we must expect other members of this clan to be hostile towards us until we can somehow end this ridiculous conflict.
Other less dramatic news are that we have spotted a DVAR settlement across the narrow sea to our west. We will contact them in the near future hoping that they are willing to join the Ingotts consortium. You can see them in the attached aerial picture - In the northwest are the smokey tofu biodomes currently being tidied up before they can begin operations. We are right next to it on our way to explore a small anomaly our scanners picked up in the Servant’s Desertlands.

With energetic regards!

4th status report: Customers?
Our Prospector across the channel spotted a cosmite node occupied by some monsters calling themselves the Forgotten. A shame they couldn’t stay that way and instead camp on this nice cosmite rift... But we don’t need more trouble currently so we approached diplomatically. Just like the spacers they don’t seem too good at handling their problems themselves and asked us to trample on some flowers, a bit suspicious after our fishing adventure we asked for a bit more info and learned that those are actually the flesh-devouring, pollen-spraying type called “the Growth”… It seems this planets inhabitants have a serious wildlife problem here. At least this time we know whats up and go prepared. Their suspected location is in the direction of the anomaly we wanted to investigate and so we accepted their task in return for some food and tools.
forgotten.PNG


On our way towards the anomaly we spotted a drone of the ancient OWL design. At first we thought we might be able to catch and sell it to some collector of antiquities, but it turns out it was freshly maintained and quickly established a link to “Sebastian Valefor”, a Commander of the Vanguard of old who recently landed and directly offered a trade deal.
Sebastian.PNG

Now this seems to be more capable leadership than that of the Forgotten or those rowdy Spacers, his active pursue of trade deals bodes well for future agreements. Of course we accepted his trade offer and we will send him our terms and conditions for energy storage hoping that he’ll become the first of many customers to use our vaults.
The anomaly itself comes from beneath the sand which means we need to dig it up. This is an easy task for a dvar and because I can use the time digging through the sand thinking of our settlements future plans I ordered my trenchers to equip our newly available fortification tools and go ahead to try them on this gardening task the Forgotten gave us.
Our research department has now been tasked trying to develop flying vehicles and improved energy exploitations because we will need convenient ways to reach our brethren on the other side of the channel and energy credits to bolster our position as this planets central hub for all things energy.
Next time we hope to report that we have our first customer.

Sincerely yours

G.R. Ingott

5th Status report: Waiting for customers
We are still digging to unearth the anomaly and our troops are on their way to their gardening task. But another potential customer popped up and it is another one of these oldschool military vanguard. This one is called Dread Reapr and directly comes across as very possessive. Apparently he has claimed an island (we believe to our northwest) and spotted a cosmite stash there that our prospector also saw.
Dreadcosmite.PNG

Obviously this is nonsense, if our prospector doesn’t salvage it, some third party might before he even get’s the chance! So we picked it up and sent him an offer for a non-aggression pact, our terms and conditions for storing energy and added the cosmite we picked up. We are after all not a petty robber baron. We hope this will convince him of our good intentions and he’ll consider becoming our first customer, because Commandor Valefor seems polite, but unfortunately hesitant so far:
Valeforrep.PNG

We will see how these relations will develop and keep you updated.

Sincerely yours

6th Status report: Branching out
Everything goes according to plan, our newly equipped trenchers stomped on the insects and plant as requested by the Forgotten who directly handed over some production and food crates.
flowrs1.PNG

Our forces approaching the local pests

We also met yet another vanguard: Commander Johnny Flammz
ohjohnny.PNG
This convinced our brethren across the Azure Coast that Dvar should stick together on this Vanguard dominated planet and with the help of one of our prospectors they are currently making all necessary arrangements to become part of the Ingotts consortia and thereby our first offshore asset! We have also the first brave colonizers on their way to settle near the anomaly I am currently unearthing they should arrive in two days.

With so many parties on the planet we made sure the Stardust message board has a public announcement notifying everyone that we are open for business!

For you from Planet Stardust

7th status report: Investments
7th Status report: Investments

I finally dug to the source of the strange radar signature: It was an old Heritor tomb lost under the sand by the eons that passed, it’s astounding that the tomb still stands intact though and when I transmitted images of it to our research department they suggested investing 100 energy into a small research project to apply some of the tombs architectural tricks to our designs which could save about 50% of precious production material according to the research proposal. At the tomb itself only hostile ghosts remained desperately looking for any life they can drain to saturate their hunger, fortunately their shells are not immune to a good old spike gun, but our troops are still on their way back from their field trip for the forgotten and we don’t want to wait for them to proceed.
So we set up big energy cell as distraction and hope it will lure them away, it sure feels like offering them part of our life when we say goodbye to the energy stash! Hopefully these artifacts we spotted near them are worth it.

Luring.PNG

But that was not all, an even bigger energy sacrifice had to be made across the sea, our brethren have connected to our mainframe and the Ingotts consortia is now in possession of an Offshore vault, unfortunately immediately after linking the sensors our threat locator sounded the alarm - an aggressive pack of quartzites and dinosaurs are within striking distance of our newly acquired offshore vault, and having just connected to our network they didn’t have the Ingotts standard defenses setup yet.

danger.PNG

We can not afford to loose a vault to marauding wildlife! This would make our vaults look unsafe - a nightmare for a business built around safety and trust like Ingotts. So we took the bite and pushed enough energy credits to our offshore vault to send the building robots into overdrive and hire every available contractor onsite to get a standard military infrastructure up and running. I’m shocked to say: It cost us 300 energy credits. All together 500 energy credits were used today. I pray it was not in vain.

Out for now and hoping to send transmissions of a safe and flourishing Vault-network soon

8th Status report: Commerce Desert

As planned the ghastly beings at the Heritor tomb went for the energy stash and absolutely without hurry or greed, we very majestically went to the statue, it apparently depicts some Oreus Tyre, but the only thing of interest was an augmented glove that we took from his left arm before running from the enraged ghosts leaving. Our researchers were inspired by it saying the technology in this is dangerous, it could be used to sap energy out of standard power transmission lines. But once they studied it we sold it to a rich dvar collector of old heritor artifacts to at least make some of the money back we used to obtain it, we don’t want to wear it.
anomaly.PNG


Apart from that the day went quiet, our cities are safe, the colonizers reached their destination in Servant’s desert and are setting up a new Vault guarded by one of our trenchers and a Prospector of ours took the opportunity to chat up with a Vanguard colonizer from Commander Valefor who was travelling alone. We used this opportunity to relay a reminder to him that today is a good day for a deposit.
littlechat.PNG

Holding a nice little chat in commerce desert (generally a fitting name for this planet so far!) about the benefits of a trustworthy dvar vault to store your energy.

You can see that our marketing is working hard.
That is all for today

9th Status report: Paperwork
9th Status report: Paperwork

Dear stakeholders,
as typical for research the results don’t quite hold up to the promises made during funding (see last two reports) and instead of finding a way to siphon energy our research department just came up with a novel method of falsifying data claiming it’s all the fault of some T-Rex being released trampling through their research plans… Anyway we take what we get, it’s better not to spend too much time arguing with our research department, after all we have a vault network to expand!
But these last 2 Stardust days we were mostly busy with diplomatic paperwork that our success brought. The Forgotten, have been impressed with our gardening skills and want to hire our services again, they are on a good way to become our first regular customers here.
forgottenlust.PNG

We also could sell Commander Flammz the contact information of Commander Reapr and Commander Valefor and the latter has been (rightfully!) flattered by us taking such good care of his colonizer that he sent us 50 energy – A good way to start a friendship we feel, yet there is still something unresolved as he wrote us that said colonizer is bound to the desert west of the sector of Sacrarium, which we hope is a mistake as the west of Sacrarium is our northern shore and we wrote him to clarify. We do not want to be cut off from our continents northern shores and are currently building a bulwark to project our determination towards free trade if necessary.
Valefor.PNG

Meanwhile our “Dvarven capital” is rising as we found a suiting applicant at the managerial position specialising in synthesis technology, we believe she brings the interdisciplinary skill-set to invigorate synergies within our troops and help us expand our business. This brings our leadership on planet Stardust to gender parity - Happy female Dvar day to all of our female Dvar stakeholders!

Lena.PNG

The first position on a manager level we fill on planet Stardust – We have high hopes in her!

We introduced her to the troops on ground during a clean-up operation at a forlorn biodome in Doctors district just east of our capital, we are happy to report that our troops are in good shape and had no difficulties dealing with the “inhabitants” loitering just next to our central vault. Below is footage from one of our trenchers enjoying the wonderful panorama of the thundering heights from the safety of his cozy trench – we want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that positions are open! Please do not hesitate to send your application for a position as “Trading Trencher” on Stardust to the Ingotts consortium, co Dvarven resources - Bonus points if you spot our new manager Lena the Obfuscator in the picture below.
trencherspanorama.png


I want to end this update with footage from our 3 vaults from east to west and I am sure that you all agree that there is still space to extend our Vault network to the southern and northern shores!

Until next time!

10th status report: The cosmite conundrum
Dear stakeholders,

As I am writing this I am on the outskirts of our Offshore vault. I had not yet visited our newly acquired holding and heard of another anomaly just next to the Vault so I took the new "Ramjet express" over the sea and am currently investigating the Anomaly. The military excursions with Lena around the thundering heights convinced me that our security force is under capable leadership during my visit overseas and Lena is currently escorting a colonizer bound for Eva’s Dunes to lay the foundation of a northern vault. And escorting is necessary as we had increased incursions from the local fauna, we also have to report our first casualty as one of our prospectors in the south fell prey to a pair of free roaming RPR liquidators who are currently bound towards the thundering heights. Before his unfortunate demise though the heroic prospector sent us the location of another stranded Dvar settlement in the south, as soon as time and resources permit, we must go south and pacify this area, maybe the Dvar in the south also want to join our consortium.
Liquidator.png
Killer Robots on the loose!

Nonetheless we prepare to expand our mining rapidly and have first successes to report. We could lay claim on Foggy Hill and its cosmite rift, Commander Valefor respected our claims there despite erecting an outpost named Castellum just bordering Foggy Peaks. His capitol is named Avium and our historians are wondering just how long time this specific Vanguard has been in cryosleep he might have set a new record.

But back to business: We also connected another potential cosmite source south of our Offshore vault in Flickerwick Range and just north of our prospected new vault in Eva’s Dunes is another Rift. So if all goes well we’ll soon have a prosperous cosmite income to trade with. But before that we must somehow solve things with these imbecile Spacers in Foggy peaks and the Forgotten sitting on the Rift in the Flickerwick Range. We asked Commander Valefor, who somehow managed to get the spacers trust, if he could talk to them and we would allow him to pick up all the cosmite he can find before we are beginning our mining but this apparently isn’t enough for him. Cosmite riches await but we must fidn a suitable way to free them up.

Also we met yet another Vanguard: Commander Nikki Martinez, of course we sent her our terms and offers and she accepted our non-aggression pact which will keep diplomatic options open.
Nikki.png

That is all for this status report, I hope to bring you news about the anomaly in our next status report.

Stay safe

11th Status Report: Hot Love
Dear stakeholders,
We are getting used to the archaeological excavations and were a bit quicker this time! The anomaly came from a – I dare say so - burning hot Phoenix Walker, a pinnacle of engineering protecting its inhabitant nearly as good as a proper DVR-suit - but with inbuilt flamethrowers, lovely! We’ll just have to get rid of the deceased pilots and learn how to drive it. But surely this oldtimer is worth the effort.
couples.png


Up north Lena reported her encounter with the army of sexbots that the Forgotten asked us to deal with, thankfully they were accompanied by a killer bot, just the same model that preyed on our prospector in the south and thus our troops had no hesitation to show their feelings towards them.

sparks.png

Sparks fly when our Bulwark met an Android named Roy

So things are operating smoothly, we also just set up another vault in Evas Dunes. But now we’ll have to go and clear out the ruined transmission terminal to it’s north and our preliminary intel reports indicate that this ruined field is a true hotspot for everything dangerous on this planet, so we must prepare for some hard battles to come our way.

Best regards and may your bunkers always be safe

Status Report #12: Work ahead
There she is, after disposing the corpses and a short overhaul we managed to get this beauty up and running again – Now we only have to learn how to ride it, the controls on these oldtimers are a bit finicky.
walker.PNG

In the north Lena has uncovered the full extend of the pests in the ruins, this must have been a great trading port at the sea before the cataclysm when its ruins still support so many monsters and scoundrels fighting for the scrap. But we have built our new colony Northern Vault to claim and surpass whatever city stood here 200 years ago. The old things must give way. We have a lot of work ahead!
worktodo.PNG

Fortunately our progress has been noted by the “Fund Of Rich Billionaires (for) Extraplanetary Settlements” magazine who rightfully named us a true Pioneer of Stardusts economy and together with that accolade came a 300 credits venture capital energy stash. Below is the digital certificate - For the glory to the Ingotts consortium!

I'll leave you with those happy news and will report how our operation to turn the ruins in the north into a prospering sector for our northern vault proceeds next time.

Until then - Stay rich and get richer

13th Status report: Clean up operations
13th Status report: Clean up operations

Dear stakeholders, I am writing you while waiting for the Ramjet express to pick me up at Ginger Beach. After transferring the Phoenix walker to our Arsenal I made a small and successful trip to the colonies sector Flickerwick Ridge, a mountain sector rich in natural resources and convinced a pack of forgotten to leave the cosmite rift. Offshore Vault is now delegating our first cosmite mining operations. But it is time to return to the mainland for me, maybe with the Ramjet express we can even make it in time to help Lena and our security force tidying up the ruins next to our Northern Vault. Our big claen up operations to make the ruins liveable again has started, and if Lena and our security forces continue with their current efficiency they might even be done before we arrive. They already got hold of a washed up cosmite stash that had lured a bunch of shrikes and swift beaks and took care of a quartzite nest.

Status Report # 14: Space(r) Invasion

I’m in a hurry, so forgive me if I stay brief. While our main army was liberating the Shroud Generator in the transmission terminal in our north a spacer gang must have been creeping up to us in the east, probably from across the border to Commander Valefor (we’ll have to talk to him about that later!). But now our alert system sounded the alarm as they are about to attack our sector base in Foggy peaks.

spacerplague2.PNG


All our troops have been ordered to meet up at our Eastern Vault to face that invasion, but currently our main force is still stuck in the ruins of the transmission terminal. But we must crush the spacers quickly, also to prevent others from doubting our vault security as this situation is certainly monitored by Commander Valefor and Commander Martinez (who has an Owl in the vicinity.)

I’ll keep you updated on the situation.

Dir. Gerd R. Ingotts
 
Report #15: Blood and guts and guts and blood…

The spacers attacked - and our defenses held! It was a bloody battle and the former pride of the Foggy Peaks militia defense, a mighty bulwark, is now a smoking wreck. But the spacers have been beaten, which means we had the time to write a message to Commander Valefor that we expect to be warned about spacer movements in the future!
message.PNG
And we received prompt reply:
valefor1.PNG

valefor2.PNG

Now of course this wasn’t news for us, but we take it as a token of goodwill for now, we still dearly remember his 50 energy credits gift towards us.
However, during this diplomatic chit-chat that will hopefully keep relations on our continent afloat, we were interrupted by grim news. Another one of our prospectors has been ambushed and killed near the gates of Commander Martinez on the eastern continent. Again one of our prospectors fell prey to liquidators.
headhutner.PNG

All the news of our employees fighting and falling for the Ingotts consortia were relayed to me while riding on the Ramjet express towards the transmission terminal in the north unable to partake or help our forces against this planets hostile and unproductive freeloaders. But when we finally arrived and met up with Lt. Lena my men went to work more determined and grim than I have ever seen. We hit the remaining free loaders on the spatial rift and pirates in the ruins like a Rocket Hammer hits a rivet and the merciless pounding of our spike guns will long be remembered within the ruins of the transmission terminal.
Screenshot (73).png

A Tyrannodon feeling like the Apex predator, but he never met Dvar in a bad mood before... Now his rotten carcass is all that remains.

These were grim and bloody days. But we prevailed and showed that we can take and deliver punches without buckling. I am now on my way towards another anomaly in the desert to our northeast while Lena is travelling to our Eastern vault to have a “word” with the spacers still lingering on our cosmite rift in Foggy Peaks.

Status report #16: Sweet Revenge
Status report #16 – Sweet revenge

Things had just calmed down and we were back in the Ramjet express towards the anomaly site in the east when we got news from another liquidator attack in the south. But this time the killer robots had misjudged their prey, they attacked right into our fortifications on the thundering heights and our defensive forces rejoiced at the oppoertunity to take revenge for our fallen prospector comrades.
deadliquidator.png

Our Trenchers making sure the Liquidator is gone for good!

But this is also a reminder that we’ll have to turn our attention south once we dispose of the spacers on our Cosmite node in the east.
The past days have shown that this world is dangerous, and we wonder how all the vanguard of old are doing. So we sent our Ingotts control system data-mining, comparing the capabilities of our enterprise with the different Vanguard-factions on this planet and the results are worrying! They strongly suggest that we increase our defense spending to ensure our economic success is not threatened by military force from these soldiers past.
weneedarmy.PNG

Soldiers of the past keep doing soldier stuff, no development towards the future in sight. What a bunch of stereotypes - we shall show them how the future is forged by trade and economy!

As a first action to catch up in military capability we commissioned two more Ramjets and another prospector to ensure we have a mobile force that can quickly cross between the mainland and our offshore vault, should the need arise. We hope in a few days already our increased military spending will be reflected on the military ranking. Being surrounded by the warmongers of the past we believe it is of paramount importance not to appear weak, and ideally we can find a way to even sow the seed of distrust among them so that in their disgruntled nostalgia they don’t turn on us - their obvious successors!

That is all for now, please don’t hesitate to relay any comments if you have any doubts (or praise) regarding our ventures on Stardust

With energetic regards

Status report 17: Fights in the north and treachery in the south
Status report 17: Fights in the north and treachery in the south

After these bloody days it was good to arrive at the Anomaly site and do some digging, we also took the time to negotiate with the spacers, we are now off their “opposing clans” list and we hope they’ll order our services in the future. Being at war with them is just not good for business, so we think this was a good bargain and an investment into a prosperous future.
But while we were digging our dusty eyes got horrible news! The vanguard are marching and we need to monitor them closely on three fronts. Commander Johnny Flammz was spotted in the southwest of our Offshore Vault not too close but we must keep an eye out to make sure this is not an attempted invasion into our offshore vault. At the same time Commander Dread Reapr has attacked a temple of the Celestian sect in the north just across the sea from our Northern Vault and worse even, this Army of criminals has embarked and we wonder where they want to set sail.
We managed to get some proof of his atrocities:
Screenshot (94).png

Shooting Buster missiles on unarmed monks - Commander Reapr.
These are worrying movements on our borders. To make matters worse our brothers in the south, Kasimonov must have been tricked under false pretence and are now gouverned by Commander Valefor who is breaking our agreement that everything west of Sacrarium is our sphere of influence.
His excuse is as weak as his cheap armour:
valeforagain.PNG

Not only is he claiming his misbehaviour was “fair”, he also has the nerves to insinuate that we would be about to break our agreement. As if we would have ever planned to claim any “digsite” on his area, clearly an absurd and false claim – Our careful unearthing is for science alone but this daft vanguard doesn’t seem to understand with his mind obviously not yet fully recovered from crysleep. First Spacers incursions from across his borders and now that this breach of trust – we would like to teach him a lesson, alas with large Vanguard armies from Commander Dread and Commander Flammz on the move in our east we must be patient.

We’ll keep you updated

Until next time

Dir. Gerd. R. Ingotts
 
Status report 18: Ghosts of the past
Status report 18: Ghosts of the past
While unearthing the anomaly strange visions of a ghost town started occuring and we were approached by a flickering cultist, we are curious where this will lead - a treasure maybe? We hope there is an energy stash at the bottom of this, maybe these visions are related to the void that our researchers keep telling us about and the possibility to transfer energy from parallel universes into our world? Are we making history here?!
dreams.PNG

This fascinating ghostly occurrences however must not distract us from the all to real armies that seem to circle closer and closer towards our borders. A prospector of ours has even spotted 6 more Gunships from Commander Reaprs realm that seem to be heading towards us, his military is quite remarkable and though I am pleased to say that we have done quite remarkable progress in regards to our vault security (our Ingotts control system currently even estimate us to be the 2nd strongest military force on Stardust) our small fleet of Ramjet express vessels is no match for the overwhelming Airforce of Commander Reapr.
At least Commander Valefor sent us a considerate message about his troops movement
valeforarmy.PNG

But we still remember that he proposed Sacrarium as the middle line on our continent just to breach it only weeks later by incorporating our dvarven borthers on our side of the continent.
Well we shall see, it can’t be long until we have clarity about the purpose of the armies around our borders now I fear.
We shall keep you updated

Until then

Out for today - Gerd R. Ingotts
