"My My My... Did you find it funny when you took my people? Flaunting them like a prize? Did you enjoy that little breath of air, of that gentle victory that you have shapened upon this land oh but how you helscape creatures. You lost misguided souls have started to really put a damper on my mood. There are some sins I cannot forgive."

"You dare to touch the very soil of Aphros. My people. My children of Athelios..."

"I will have your head for it."

"Your mortals.. Try so hard to get my attention, you speak in a manner as if you any of you hold any really menace to our existence, that you could be anything other than.. Parasites in this world.
 
Your people? Nothing but cattle. Your lands? Nothing but something forgotten, collecting dust like your own pathetic life - if you really dare to march into our lands..
 
You will have all of my attention, little mana node.. Oh, how perfect will be, once you are harvested.
 
My horde.. Awaits.. My horde..

HUNGERS!"

The mountain wind howls throughout Grimhjall's streets. It is emptier than usual on this particular eve. Familiar magi no longer converse within the square. In place of idle talk, the echoing of war drums grows fainter and fainter. The marching of armored men and women pave way through land. It had been planned almost a year earlier and now came time to act. There is no speech from Vdalion, perhaps due to the fact they must travel the furthest to reach the place of depravity.

Their goal becomes crystal clear as they encroach upon the lands alongside others. Plans shared openly: the restoration of Ymir's resting place and the forests around to what they were millennia ago.

OBJECTIVE: Aid Aphros.

Aid Delphina.

Return Mount Pavonis & surrounding area to sacred grounds.

This is a terrible night.

The echoes reverbate across Meranthe akin to a hushed whisper- for the essence of Death was briefly put to action, fed upon a mighty warrior, and shown but a small extent of its terrible power. A sleepless night, filled with nightmares- a dark omen for for the denizens of Meranthe.

Something is horribly wrong.

"You march under the banners of hope, light and all that you deem good."

"You march unto your death."

"For I will honor my word to him. I will honor our promise."

The Great Wolf prepares a dark, ominous, terrible power that shall greet all that will come to the battle.

Only gods could know what kind of an unholy curse it will unleash.

[Egomaniacal]

For the first time in decades,
Hoisted high are banners belonging to the Kingdom of Delphina.
United again,
Legions marched southward towards that place of depravity with a single goal in mind.

"For too long, these abominations and their profane adherents have plagued our lands, endangered innocents and wrought chaos. 

No more complacency,

No more standing by as people die,

No more chances.

Alongside our allies stands a united Meranthe, Abendrot will fall. 

For my first act as King of Delphina, I promise this.

Once upon a time, they came to extinguish our lives and they were pushed back, and now?

It shall be their land besieged, their people slaughtered, their blood spilled. 

K'thul,

I made a promise, didn't I?

I'm coming for you.

This is for Fritz,

This is for Aurelius,

This is for Hanzel."

Following a meeting with the Oracle of Aphros, the Aenite isle of Lyonesse stirs.

Orders trickle down along the chain of command until even the most civilian of
Aenites on the isle has been energized. It bustles feverishly as it prepares itself
in every which way for the eve of war which will soon come to Abendrot. Cooks
prepare what may be the final meals of brave sailors. Blacksmiths ensure that
all who may partake are armed. Alchemists distribute elixirs and attunements
alike. While no declaration is made, no letter distributed, no public speech shared,

it is starkly clear that Aen has joined the war efforts.

[Milly]

"K'thul, you're not allowed to die until I will it."
