'They are finished High-priestess Lightpoint.' the man addresses the acting-ruler of Royce. 'Thank you now can you give me the reports on the war?' 'Yes Ma'am, the lands of Royce west of the old Aston Manor have fallen into control of the Kingdom of Berk, as has all but the Eastern-most territories of Vestinia. That area of Vestinia has fall to Hel's forces Ma'am. Hel now controls the lands east of Florbjords, the Garran Mountains, the Vaerran Steppes, Lake Vaerran and the surrounding areas. Andor is now focusing his effort on Hel since we given the western lands to him as recognition of the old laws. The Elvin kingdom of Lyndhol has not been heard from for several months and we are assuming Hel may have killed them.' he pauses to allow the high-priestess to process all of this. 'The Elves to the East in the kingdom of Erhindhel have petitioned for protection and wish for the Kingdom of Royce to annex them into the Kingdom, they know Malak'n is with us and they see this as the only option with Hel, herself walking with her armies. The Dwarven Kingdom of Thingollr have withdrawn completely from the war and retreated into their mountain fortress at Rahmsdal where as they did during the great war lived in security and seclusion. The King of Savonia has also petitioned for our protection but he has lost much land to the undead forces of Megera. No one has heard from the dwarves of Grimstad and it is assumed that the undead armies have control of that area as well.' 'My son will return and he will bring back the Prince and we will be able to set things right again.'
