2051 AC

The legendary War Horn of Vdalion sounds three times, heard across the lands. After the third, it is said Dal'thala was taken in a single night... but that is only what the history books will show. 

In truth, Dal'thala mounted a brave defense. In what is deemed a betrayal by Queen Yvelle Vacerayne, the Vdalion forces, aided by many prominent magi, gained ground and broke the diarchy by show of force. Yvelle named sole ruler of the Delphina Kingdom with Vdalion's support. In exchange, the banners of the Empire fly and Dauntless can be seen patrolling the grounds. While vassalized, the territory remains Delphina. Perhaps susceptible to be regained by those refuges of old. The refuges that fled alongside Raenesa Vanya.

As Vdalion's sphere of influence grows, they intend to return the lands to the ways of yore when giants ruled. Its council becomes dissolved somewhat, with new faces replacing the old, one amongst them Hela Vorraog. The title of Jarl no longer so important. The demonic hoard marches and Vdalion prepares to defend.

• The Temple of Ymir holds a special artifact for those under the Empire's banner to use. The faith renamed and redefined under Hofgothi Hulda, referred to as the Shattered Flock or Ymir's Flock.
  
  
• Following a public ritual, the spirit of the Third Grimnir made their presence upon the sacred moot grounds. The past of Vdalion illuminated. Grimnir not a person but Vdalion's old title in place of Emperor. Several other secrets revealed, with the original myth of Grimnir rumored to be folk lore.
  
  
• A dragon soon born..
  
  
• Kazras Folhammar named Forgeseer of the Folhammar Clan, inheriting the Folhammar.
  
  
• Hela Vorraog acts as the ears of the Emperor due to his odd, multi-day disappearances. While she holds no exact title, she is a prominent, trusted voice within the city, especially as its most powerful spiritmancer.
  
  
• Dauntless are encouraged to be more proactive by the Grimnir. 3000 coin given for the maiming of an enemy and 5000 for alive captives. Proof to be brought to Thane, Kazras.
  

"We have seen that many move about the shadows and observe from a distance, kraven and so swift to hide their visage. To mine Dauntless who call for glory- move forth in pairs and bring honor unto your name. Now, more than ever, we cannot afford to be passive. Bring unto me proof of leaving the foul beings of the Damned and Profane maimed or even bring them to pay for their crimes against Amier's Garden. Doing so will see you rewarded."
- Kazras Folhammar

From public rumors and recent actions, the following can be theorized:
It is wise to not put too much stock into these rumors, given the erratic behavior of Vdalion's leader.

• Wonderland - War.
  
• Abendrot Ebonhold The Deep Hold - War.
  
• Dwarves of Galnur / Fortune Kingdom / Gutter / Final Frontier / Delphina - Under Banner.
  
• Aphros - Peace.
  
• Nyt'hjem/Croi-Uaimhe - Friendly.
