Year 15, Month 9
The second mercenary unit is hired in Evenarrow.
The new spell is completed.
Alzar is working on making some more items that he likes, such as Quill of Bookcopy that he already knows how to make.
Alzar spends much of this month dealing with a lack of food in Heldan, and helping the people there, as Alzar seeks to improve relations with them. He sees a future where the holdings of Norwold he wants (cough Leeha cough) goes to him and the others to the Knights. His nation is oddly shaped, and there are places he really needs to better defend itself.
THAR RAIDS GLANTRI
Thar, the famous humanoid leader of the Broken Lands, analyzes the confusion in the human nations and decides that his humanoids can reap great rewards by acting now. He calls for more humanoid hordes from the Altan Tepes range and the Wendar Ranges to join him, and leads the largest humanoid horde assembled in living memory from his Broken Lands to the Darokin Crater. His strategy is to side-step the well-guarded paths and passes that separate the Broken Lands from its neighbors by launching his invasion from an unexpected direction.
From the harsh, forbidding landscape of the crater, Thar un*leashes his hordes into northern Darokin and southern Glantri. These forces sack and pillage what remain of the southern prin*cipalities. The Glantrians fight ferociously to keep their lives and properties, but fall back before the seemingly numberless humanoids pouring across the border.
Within a few weeks, Glantri City is an armed camp, besieged by thousands of humanoids under Thar's command. The capital has so many wizards that the city escapes being overrun or starved out. However, Thar has so many thousands of human*oids that the Glantrian wizards just can't kill enough to get rid of them ... and the humanoids are sacking, pillaging, and de*stroying the countryside for miles around. It is a stand-off.
Alzar still can’t teleport to Glantri City or get there, he is blocked by the immortal Rad. Otherwise he’d likely try to help against Thar.
