The Move into Vlaanderen 08 November 1007 Thrydwulf A few realms over the last few days have been discussing how to deal with the ever growing threat that is Vlaanderen. The realm, lead by the Daimon Lord Arcane have been expanding rather rapidly since the day he came into power. The question the realms had been asking themselves was "how do we deal with this growing presence?" Vlaanderen, who now have at last count, 4 Daimons leaders fighting under their banner have been rampaging Khthon lands, and even declared war on the Republic of Fwuvoghor. However, Martana had a cunning plan up her sleeve, and reminded Arcane of his promise to humanity that he would rid the continent of the undead. So...off he trotted out of Reeds, and headed South West into the most Southern Mesh regions. Of course, this left Vlaanderen some Daimons fewer to defend themselves. So the Heenites moved out into Watto with their monster allies, preparing for an assault on Vlaanderen while Arcane was gone. Waiting for the news to reach their ears of Arcane battling Summoner, the Heenites set up camp in Naraka and prepared to lay siege to Reeds, only to find a Daimon force occupying the city, so plans changed. Then, as news of a battle reached their ears, the Heenites quickly started a friendly Take Over of Naraka and hoped to draw the Daimon Obstructing out from behind the walls. After spending a full day building trenches and small but useful fortifications in Naraka, the Heenites soon found they had more than Obstructing to deal with. Early scout reports this morning showed that Arcane had somehow managed to get back into Reeds (after being imprisoned), summon 240 Daimons from somewhere and call upon them, and Obstructing's unit to head out to Naraka in an attempt to stop the Take Over. The full Battle Report can be found to the right, along with some views from nobles who took part.

Battle Report 08 November 1007 Thrydwulf Battle in Naraka 1 - - Fror Saves Erin As the Heenites had been digging their fortifications for a whole day, they had a nice barricade between them and the Daimons. All the Heenites who were in Naraka stayed behind their fortifications when the Daimons could be heard heading their way. However, two small monster units lead by Hocud and Drool, already infront of the fortifications charged into the oncoming mass of Daimons. Two Heenite forces, lead by Bayloc and Mao who were late arriving from Watto also missed the barricades and ploughed straight into the Daimons along with the two other monster leaders: Hoof Hearted and Loud Tongue. This effectively cut short the Daimon charge and halted them against the stakes and trenches of the Heenites defences. Fighting valliantly in a constant shower of arrows from Obstructing's Daimons, the Heenites slaughtered every single one of Arcane's unit, although some were left wounded. As the last few Daimons stumbled blindly behind the fortifications, some of the Heenites attempted a charge on Obstructing. They were not enough in force however and were driven from the battlefield. All is not lost though, and as the night fades, and the Heenites regroup for a morning assault, hopes are running high.

Jana
08 November 1007		Jadine
On the 7th of November, a new person arrived in the stronghold of Tahgalez at the dead of night. It was someone that is infamous to all Judges of Belatuerra, and to many adventurers, and least of all, Summoner. It was the adventurer Jana, who was the most wanted person on the Summoner’s list of grudges for a long time. She and a group of adventurers had given Summoner a shock and had stolen from him something he coveted most dearly. She was denied permission to find sanctuary in most realms across the island, as many realms feared the “wrath” of the Necromancers Servants, which had been		promised to anyone who allowed her safety in their lands. Heen however, has never feared the Necromancers Servants, and was happy to give her a safe haven amongst the mass peril for a rogue peasant. Jana arrived in secrecy and sent a private correspondence to Jadine Baraedor to ask if she could stay. Jadine, holding a grudge to all Necromancers Servants, replied immediately with the affirmative. Hopefully, Jana can continue to hamper the undead whenever possible, this time, representing Heen, the enemy of the undead everywhere!!

Battle Report 09 November 1007 Jadine Battle in Naraka 2 - - Battle in Naraka 3 Battle 2: After the first battle in Nakara, the Heenites were confident of victory, as the Daimons had suffered heavy casualties and the leader of Vlaanderen, Arcane, had been wounded by the Heenites. This seems to fly in the face of many naïve nobles of Vlaanderen who worship this Daimon as their God, for what kind of God gets wounded by a small army of humans? Anyhow, the upcoming battle seemed to be in line for a Daimon slaughter, as all the infantry of the Daimons was either killed or wounded, and only the archer unit, led by Obstructing, was left. The camel charge of Heen is famous for being destructive to any form of life it comes up against, and the great cavalry masters, Jadine and Thrydwulf, were confident of victory. However, just as the forces of Heen were about to let out their war cry and cover the final 100 metres to the archers, 3 massive Daimons from the infantry division came and broke the charge. They must have healed just in time for the battle and they had done a good job of disrupting the line of Heenite camels and horses. Needless to say, those three Daimons were destroyed immediately, but the charge was broken, and the archer Daimons drew their melee weapons and began their task of hand-to-hand combat. The weight of numbers could do nothing against the larger Daimons after the unexpected arrival of the infantry Daimons, and Obstructing and his troops managed to fight off the attack. There were many casualties on both sides, the most notable being Obstructing and Thrydwulf Grancourt, the High Marshall of Heen.
