Beluaterra/Fifth Invasion/Timeline

Dec 02 1011

A few days ago (or over a week even), three priests of daemon worship have been sighted.

In Enweil, a priest called '1st Son' has been seen preaching in Lopa.

These priests seem to have some kind of evil power to drain a noble of all his energy ( = turn hours to 0; informed from Thalmarkin) and have some magical scrolls with them. 3rd Son is believed to have been captured by Sint, although he later escaped and 2nd Son was injured at some point (probably by followers of the Order of the Golden Feather in Lastfell).

As well as the "Sons", another Daimon known as Overlord has been spotted leading troops in Enweil.

Nightfall of the North attacked Wailing Wood in Thalmarkin with 100 daimons (5800 CS) and launched a brutal takeover.

Dec 20 1011 - 2nd battle of Enweilios

Enweil and Riombara (10.000 and 9.000) did attack Midnight of the South (7.600) in Enweilios. Due to a militia unit having been recruited in Enweilios, Enweil was considered to be the defenders and thus Riombara did stay neutral. Still, after a bloody battle the brave enweilian army did overcome Midnight who withdrew to Gorin, followed by the Riombaran army. At sunset Riombara again stood by, watching roused enweilian peasants beat the remnants of Midnights horde.

Dec 21 1011

However, other news were grim: Nightfall of the West did attack Fronen in Tey Gren with 6.300, defeating their force that had bravely gathered to aid the southern realms in an attack against Overlord. At the same time Midnight of the North - who had sucessfully evaded Melhed, Old Grehk and Thalmarkin for a week - did storm Fronens capital Vur Hagin with 6.200. In addition to those two leaders, there were a total of 23.100 under Overlord, Midnight of the South and Nightfall of the East in Piwani.

When the allied army attacked Ketampkin, Overlord was not present.

The allied army was smashed while killing less than 100 daimons.

The allies won a hardfought battle but lost considerably. Right after this battle the allied vanguard marched against Piwani which was held by a daimon militia - it was suspected that a daimon ritual was being prepared that - once finished - would result in the blighting of Piwani. The allies won yet again, even though Midnight of the North did reinforce the militia from Darhauyo...and to the rejoicing of humanity, this daimon leader was captured by Field Marshal Selis at the same time as those staying behind in Ulallo did capture Midnight of the South.
