Beluaterra/Fourth Invasion

Undead Hordes were spotted in the region Qual on 17th May, 1010. Three days later, on the 20th of May, it was confirmed to be an invasion.

In the north, the Netherworld stirred and its Daimon commanders began taking over regions. On May 13, 2010 Porl was taken and on May 20th Aesh was taken over by the Netherworld.

Timeline

• First reports emerge of sentient Undead in Qual. Netherworld begins to expand around Jobo's Mouth.
• Human rulers agree to a continent wide ceasefire in the event of an Invasion.
• Invasion confirmed, the War of the Nine Realms ends almost immediately, although skirmishes between Bara'Khur and Hetland continue for a week.
• Expedition from Melhed to Qual is defeated by the Undead. A second, larger assault by Avalon and Fronen succeeds in reclaiming the mountain range.
• The Monsters emerge near Nemeno and a few other regions of the Southern Coast on Enweil. Weeks later, they send two armies to test Enweil, both of which are defeated and the First of Gilgamesh is killed in the second. They then march eastward to invade the Dominion of Alluran.
• The Daimons head south from Jobo's Mouth, invading Heen. Sint makes peace with Netherworld and later allies.
• Alluran is overrun by the Monsters and surrenders (only to later be absorbed). Former Queen Annaej Urominiel joins them and is granted the "seals of command", allowing her to lead the lesser beasts.
• The Daimons begin targeting the cities of Heen, ignoring the hinterlands surrounding them. Armies of Hetland and Mesh march to Heen's aid.
• Latlan, the last city controled by Heen, falls. The Daimons continue south, invading Mesh. Old Grehk and Bara'Khur make peace with Netherworld.
• Having disappeared after their defeat in Qual, the Undead reemerge in Pomatim and destroy forces from Old Grehk and Fronen sent to investigate.
• Daimons breach the walls of Twillen, the capital and last city of Mesh.
• Epic of Gilgamesh, ruler of the Monsters, invades Enweil, the most powerful human realm. Enweilieos, Fwuvoghor, and Fheuvenem fall and the Monster assault Fengen, the capital, for the first time. Daimons arrive and join with the Enweilian troops to push back the Monsters. Enweil allies with Netherworld.

• Avalon and Bara`Khur ally with Netherworld.
• Avalon, Enweil, and Bara'Khur sign into a confederation.
