| The Land of the Free
|
| More and more of the realms who would chant to the death of inhumans and all of their collaborators have taken a more nuanced tone now that it isn't so convenient, or remain silent to avoid having to swallow their pride. DoA not only allied them, but some of their nobles, including a royal, even joined the realm of the Monsters and swore an oath to the monsters of Gilgamesh. Riombara now dines with them in their cities as their forces move to invade Enweil, despite the fact that prior experiences show that Riombara would have enough forces to decimate the large monster hordes thanks to the walls of their capital. Sint allies the daimons once more to serve their daimon gods.
There is a land that bows to none other than herself, and that realm is Enweil, and many are coming to realize this. We are a realm that stands by what we say, by our convictions. A realm that doesn't say one thing and then do another when such a thing isn't as convenient anymore. Many across the lands are disgusted by the actions of their leaders, and understandably so, as nobody likes being commanded by lying cowards. Enweil is strong, Enweil is proud, and Enweil is free. And as such, for all that do not want to ally with the invaders, that do not want their leaders to swear oaths of fealty to them, Enweil is a land of hope. For a realm that respects what it says, that lives by its words instead of chanting out wild promises, many will find a new home in Enweil. The monsters march against us, but we will not step down. With the gods on our side, justice as our sword and honour as our shield, we are eternal.

| The South-East prefers the monsters to humans
|
| As the valiant defenders of civilization ride forth and repel the monster attacks in Lopa, the South-East refuses to move. Indeed, they contend themselves by allying the monsters, signing pacts with them, and otherwise sitting alongside them and doing nothing.
Let the readers be reminded that Enweil continuously offered her aid to DoA, but their king preferred to ally the monsters than to ally Enweil, the realm they had attacked without provocation prior to the invasion. Even Riombara, in the self-righteousness, isn't answering the call to arms, sitting alongside the monsters in Grehk as they contend themselves with a peace treaty with the monsters instead of using the walls and the monsters' distractions to crush them.
If one thing is becoming painfully clear, it's that the ones who brag the most about justice and humanity are the ones who care for it the least.

| History absolves us
|
Probably no realm in the history of the continent has ever been the victim of as much lies, deceit, and manipulation as Enweil has. Skilled liars and manipulators, her foes have endlessly turned and manipulated other realms into betraying Enweil for them, into believing wild and unfounded rumours, into trying to outright destroy her. But Enweil, with the favour of the gods, with justice as our sword and honour as our shield, always prevailed. Today, two of our lords died for Enweil, to save us from the threats which plague our lands, defending us against the monsters sent by the very people who had accused us of having some secret alliance with them. The price was steep for Enweil to irrefutably prove to the world the truth of her words and the vileness of her foes, and so the roused Field Marshal wrote to the other human generals of the continent and said:
| Letter from Nicolas Chénier |
| Message sent to the human generals of Beluaterra |
| Sint allies the daimons, DoA the monsters.
We've had 7 realms on our backs these last years. Sint, Heen, Hetland, Mesh, Riombara, Kingdom of Alluran, Dominion of Alluran. 5 all at once for a while.
We were accused of all kinds of things. Some of us were called "daimon-worshippers". Imperialists, opponents of humanity, and other such lies.
All of the realms mentioned above were the ones who declared war on us, we had not declared war on any of them. When bringing up real links between some of these realms and the daimons, we were slung dirt by those overeager to protect them. We had the self-proclaimed "defenders of humanity" send their armies at our gates again and again, trying to bring us on our knees. All of this while the daimon homeland prospered.
Now look at the western alliance. Already trying to get deals, securing alliances to further their goals. Sint allying the daimons, when the western realms were so vigorous to deny any such link still existing between the two. Yet Enweil was the enemy, apparently, Enweil had to be fought, Enweil had to be brought down. How long until the invaders are used to resume the old wars?
King Askarn, I expect your armies to come marching against Enweil along with your monster master pretty soon now. Your armies were pathetic pre-invasion, don't expect any mercy from us now. If you try anything against us and don't hide under Riombara's skirt, let's say you won't receive a mercy alliance from us as you did from the monsters. |
| Nicolas Chénier (Field Marshal of Enweil, Viscount of Wheling) |
| Letter from Nicolas Chénier |
| Message sent to the human generals of Beluaterra |
| Sir Trigius Sarracenia, Viscount of Droxago and Lord Borian have fought and died honourably in the defence of the homeland, fending off the monsters that come our way. They will be honoured and remembered, as the others that died for Enweil before them.
We were accused of having some kind of ridiculous "secret alliance" with the monsters. The truth is, the Dominion refused our help, they repelled our offers and sent nothing but insults and accusations back at us.
Now the dominion sends her monster allies to attack us, and two of our lords pay the ultimate price.
History, as always, absolves us. We will not forgive this treachery. |
| Nicolas Chénier (Field Marshal of Enweil, Viscount of Wheling) |
Enweil has survived the test of time, has witnessed and lived much in her times. We know all too well that all those who sell themselves to outsiders never last too long. Enweil shall be avenged!

| Sint not as innocent as they tried so hard to make everyone believe?
|
| Anyone who had the least contact with a large group of foreigners would know that since a very long time, Sint has been trying to paint themselves as good guys, as warriors of mankind and opponents of the daimons. They tried to hide their alliance with the daimons, the fact they worshipped them as gods and the fact that they even tried to summon the "Destroyer of Worlds" to Beluaterra so that he may destroy us all. A faith which they still adhere to, interestingly.
But they claimed to have a change of heart. That the daimons were pretenders, and cited the battle or two they had against the daimons as "proof". However, truth was that Sint vehemently defended the Netherworld, and threatened war against all those who sent armies to Jobo's Mouth. And now, as their neighbours are being invaded by daimons: nothing. Sint has remained in their corner, allowing Netherworld to expand and take up new regions. And even when their neighbours, who had spent much effort to defend them on the diplomatic scene, get invaded by daimons and have their cities taken they still do nothing.
The hypocrisy of the self-righteous westerners is becoming irrefutable. How ironic that the very friends of Sint sometimes used terms such as "daimon-worshippers" to justify their betrayal of Enweil.

| Typical stubborn hypocrisy
|
| Enweil laughs at the accusations made against it by the southerners, as it shows the typical disconnection between Riombaran leadership and nobility. Despite being offered aid by Enweil, Riombara and the Dominion continually put Enweil down and refuse help. When DoA was asked to sign peace should that cooperation would at least be possible, Enweil was turned down in the rudest of ways. Later, when the Field Marshal contacted Riombara's and the Dominion's general to ask them how Enweil could be of assistance, they refused to reply.
So we drink and laugh. The south so very much loves to be martyrs, we know that all too well. They played the role so well before the invasion, we were silly to think they'd shed themselves of such shameful behaviour. After all, Enweil is, was, always was, and always will be the source of all their problems. Of course. Maybe they can get the martyrdom they desire, of the kinds of Valentia which quickly fades out of memory thanks to how inglorious their death was.

| Westerners allying the monsters?
|
| Word has it that the western realms of Heen and Mesh have been trying to ally with the monsters in order to save themselves from the daimons. The great irony is how Mesh used to zealously yell how all inhumans should be exterminated without consideration, and slandered human realms when they had better things to do, and that now that realm is seeking an alliance with the very faction that is destroying the allies she betrayed Enweil over in the South-East.
As the monsters ravage the peninsula, Mesh attempts to ally them. But word has it the monster simply think, and rightfully so, that they are stupid and have no intention to ally them. Regardless, the battles between monsters and daimons shall prove interesting for all of Beluaterra, as will the hypocrisy revealed from the realms which host the battles. Enweil is used to seeing such double-standards in her neighbours, however.
Addenda: Further looking into the matter, many interesting facts have been uncovered. As it appears, the realms of Heen and Hetland actually signed peace with the Monsters, while the realm of the Dominion of Alluran is the only human realm not at war with the Netherworld. Mesh is trying to ally the monsters, who are rejecting their offers, despite previously (annoying and) constant rhetorical about all inhumans being evil and needing to be fought of and long-during slander against all which took even remotely nuanced position.

| Shame on the Dominion
|
Recent events seem to indicate that the Dominion places greater importance to arrogance than survival. When asked regarding an Allurite assassin trying to take an Enweilian noble's life, the following response was granted:
| Letter from Celyn Haerthorne |
| Message sent to the generals of Beluaterra (15 recipients) |
| Go eat a pike, Chenier. Most of the reports coming my way are about how there are a thousand monsters ravaging my capital, a few from the monsters themselves and most coming from me are about getting all of this fixed. The neutrality with Enwiel is a formality with the way that your Supreme Chancellor treats the rest of us as scum, so if your "scout" can't be bothered to talk to the defenders of Eno and explain he isn't a foe then he might as well foot the bill for his own stupidity. |
| Celyn Haerthorne (King and Lord Protector of Dominion of Alluran, Marshal of the Raven's Regiment) |
When asked for peace so that Enweil could come to assist them, the King's reply was:
| Letter from Celyn Haerthorne |
| Message sent to all human rulers of Beluaterra (12 recipients) |
| Supreme Chancellor Alex,
Your first letter outlined how you would basically be left out of the war. In it you called all of us treacherous. Then when you sent the peace proposal I was wounded in battle. If you and your General are going to continue evoke strangely pleasant images in my mind of you both being impaled on pikes, I doubt we are going to get much further than neutrality.
Call back in a few days. Maybe I won't be so eager to strangle something then.
Sincerely, |
| Celyn Haerthorne (King and Lord Protector of Dominion of Alluran, Marshal of the Raven's Regiment) |
One would think that they would be better-placed not to spit on our name. They seem to act much as the realm which preceded them on the very same lands, perhaps it's something in the land that gets to their brains.

| Pride of Enweil
|
| As some forked tongues spread vile rumours in some of the less glorious parts of the lands, Enweil today showed the world that nothing frightens it and that her armies are the mightiest of the lands. In a test of strength, Enweil overpowered the hordes of the First of Gilgamesh in Droxago today, a loss not anticipated by the Epic and which's repercussions are yet to be known.
Proud of the feat accomplished, the armies return to the capital to chop some vampire heads and re-asses the situation as hordes spawn all over in adjacent realms, notably the daimons to the west and the undead to the north.

| Invasion again
|
| Really, nothing else could have stopped the rightful and just retribution of the glorious Enweilian armies than an invasion. As ground trembled and a great cloud covered the skies, the invasion was revealed and the armed forces reluctantly returned back home instead of punishing the insolent for their crimes.
The gods must really hate Riombara, to make them suffer again and again our wrath without ever being allowed to put an end to it.

DoA and Monsters on the attack
DoA infils continue to work against us to help the monsters, the monsters have invaded Enweilieos and defeated the militia there after we refitted from having crushed Wisdom's force and seriously wounded many of their leaders, the monsters are furious the Allurite royal collaborator, Annaej, has been wounded by our people, Riombarans defect as Riombara's true colours are revealed.

DoA attacks again
As they pile lame excuses over lame excuses, more Dominion infiltrators are spotted attacking Enweil. It comes as little surprise that these attacks are synchronized with the incoming monster armies, the dominion's new masters. Dominion infiltrators not being particularly skill (comparable to their armies), these were again easily repelled and Enweil stands as strong as ever to fight this combined human and monster threat.

Wisdom's invasion force defeated again
As Wisom's armies marched through our lands, a response team was quickly assembled. With all due haste, they charged at Wisdom's forces in Lopa, and have defeated him thrice in a row. Justice's armies are now seen on the horizon.

Two killed by DoA's monsters
Lords Trigius Sarracenia and Borian Thierf were killed in battle against Wisdom's forces in Lopa. They died admirably, and shall be forever honoured.

Told you so?
Sint allies the daimons. Need we really say more?

DoA infiltrators attacking
Right after signing an alliance with the monsters, the Dominion sends infiltrators to attack Enweil. They were caught in the act and promptly thrown in the dungeons. Enweil is not pleased.

DoA allies monsters
Oh, the irony! After accusing Enweil of having some sort of "secret alliance" with the monsters, the south-eastern realms now ally them.
|
| June 17, 2010
|
Death wish
Many days have passed since Enweil offered her aid to the southern realms and we still haven't got a response. They must just want to be left alone to die.

Monsters hammered in the west
As the monsters continue to try to fight the daimons in Reeds, the daimons are massacring them with increasing numbers. The monsters are also getting themselves killed in battles with Mesh, described by a southerner with family ties to the realm as "accidental", hinting there was some form of agreement between the monsters and the western realms.

Lunarion Lefanis buried
The dishonourable Lunarion Lefanis was buried today. He will not be missed.

Might of the Alliance
In Qual the allied forces of Avalon and Fronen dealt a serious blow to the undead. Enweil is proud to have such people as her friends.
|

|
Show of Enweilian might
In Droxago today Enweil showed the monsters what her armies were capable of. In an impressive show of might, fifteen hundred brave Enweilian soldiers pushed back the hordes and slew their leader, the First of Gilgamesh.

Monsters in the South
The monster armies have arrived by the southern seas, taking over rogue lands before moving on to Enweilian and Dominion lands. Multiple battles between them and the southern realms occured.

Invasion
Vistuvis of Netherworld, Marshal of the Undead, and the they-thing of the Monsters have risen their forces and put the realms to challenge.
