Update: Added new alliances, enemies, and the "At War With" feature to factions that are at will.
Something to think about.
"Keep watch, alert me if you see any movement."
Then the Savant sat down in front of the pool. The four students watched silently, their teacher did not move for what felt like ages. The moon moved across the sky, their tired eyes trying to fall asleep. Finally Lienne arose and started walking back giving no explanation.
(This is not my entry)
The next day Lienne found the Children's leader Jemaine overseeing the construction of thier naval defenses. He turned to face his advisor,
"How was last nights expedition?"
"Interesting and worrying, I found a site where this world's voice seems to speak the loud enough to divulge."
"Any news that could help us?"
"It is unlike any world we have been to before, the world itself seems to revel in war and destruction, I am unsure if it is wise to remain here."
"Leaving is not a luxury we can afford" Jemiane was clearly displeased with the Savant's words, "Besides fleeing, do you have any other advise?"
"We should stay patient and try to resist it's pull, allow the other nations to continue to wage wars while we silently collect our forces."
Jemaine nodded, he thought for a second, "We are strong now, why not embrace this world's hunger and try to conquer?"
"Patience is key, I am still unsure of this plane and embracing it's pull will only harm us." The leader of the Children stood silent, Lienne was clearly concerned, maybe waiting was the right option,
"Fine, we shall wait, I just hope we do not stand by for to long for to long."
(Also for clarification this is a MDFC)
"I don't know, okay?" Sarai said. "I didn't expect to be asked to join in the destruction of another faction so soon."
"Well, we were preparing to do something like this soon anyway," Tenar replied. "We might as well."
"I'm sure the other factions will react to this," Sarai said, resting her hands on her desk. "We have to be ready for that."
"Sarai," Tenar said, getting up and walking over to the knight-commander, "we are ready. We've prepared for months for this to start. You've prepared, more than any of us. Besides, even if they do, we can call on our allies."
Sarai smiled at the monk. "Thanks, Tenar."
Tenar chuckled. "So it begins?"
Sarai took a long breath and let it out slowly. "It begins."
@ChoyBoi I accept your offer of joining forces to fight the Woods of Wendigo. Immediately after posting this comment, I'll update the alliance chart.
24 HOURS!..
A time extension is probably in order
It has been granted.
48 HOURS!..
Yet no more...
Initial Assault-
Harbinger and Xedd use psychological warfare on the battlefield with Dragon's Teeth (Indoctrination Modules). These implements pierce the bodies of dead soldiers, turning muscle tissue into synthetic material, creating a zombie-like monster called a Chaff. This severely lowers morale, as their enemy now has to kill fallen comrades.
(Lore)
Harbinger has been around for nearly an Epoch. He has wiped out civilizations in a matter of days. Over that time he has refined his combat assaults to be brutally efficient, and all consuming. Harbinger holds little remorse for Organic life, for he is the pinnacle of all.
In the early stages of an invasion, Harbinger will always set up his Dragon's Teeth, first and foremost. To use his enemies against themselves. But he needs a way to protect the teeth from being destroyed. In comes his front line assault and defenders...
It was a usual day in a village in Nemain. The sky was cloudy and there was a little fog.
But suddenly, a shout pierced the silence of midday.
-I've seen them! I've seen the Wendigo! They were passing by and they didn't even look at me! They just said "The world you know is about to end. Chose your side wisely..."
- Come on, that must have been fog!
- And what shall you say at that?
The man, who shouted suddenly ripped off his face and said:
-I am that Wendigo he saw. You all join us.... or die in flames of these angels. They are coming. And we are about to take the fight. We shall strike as one. You need to join the angels and betray them. If you do so, you'll be immortal, mighty as we are. If not... You perish in silence.
(The war card)
Kabibon sighed. The recent battles have shown, that the Wendigo army is not ready for this battle. There are too few of them.
- Walker, come to me. You must go to the core and activate it. The End will start. A new army will rise. The age of men has passed. The time of wendigo has begun!
Villager's diary
The 13th of Ganujary, Friday
Today something happened in the old ruins. I can feel it. Something great has just begun. That could be the end: The sky became much more pale than usual and some strange creatures crawled across the village.
The 14th of Ganujary, Saturday
Some angels flew by today. Some crazy looking lizard-creature army chased them. If it continues this way, I 'll need to move to another village!
The 15th of Ganujary, Sunday
Wehad an omen from Wendigo. I need to fight for the Woods. I take all my weapons and go to war. I hope I return.
Gatlah felt quite tired of being the only diplomat, so he hired these little fellas to help him. They are very polite to people, who are friendly to the Dominion, but they are the meanest creatures in the world when you show them angels or the Qathans.
-We have found it, sir! We have traced the Zetzmok, the godly city! We only need to send an expedition. According to my research, the island is just near the Rising Sun! - said Tehonapa
-Send an army there. If it IS true, we'll finally find the Gods!- Kamagiwik responded
Soon afterward in the harbor of the Godly City:
-Who are you? Are you... one of the Gods?- Kamagiwik murmured.
-Yes, I am.
-Then take my crown. You're much more worthy of it.
-Should I tell him I'm not a god?- thought Razahakh
Soon, when Razahakh was telling Kamagiwik about interesting places.
-And here we have The Hall of Elder. The legends tell there are two great elder beasts sleeping there. It's said, that they will arise when the Zarildi will need it more than any time.
Then, the ground rumbled.
-Here are they, coming to our aid! - shouted Kamagiwik
-I can send them to battle if you want.
-Send them. send them to destroy the angelic city.

Kamagiwik sent the beasts to rumble the angels' capital

And the New Dromokans have folded, as we knew they would. Their citizens are now our slaves or have fled to the dominions of their once-allies, the Quathan Federation. It is no matter. The Quathan’s have not started to actively seek war against us at this point. If they do, they will fall as the Dromokans did. Matricies will stand tall at the end of the day, and she is beginning to awake.
The Empire of the Rising Sun had declared a truce with us before the fall, and we have allowed the continuance of it. They paid their price in their own kind. As for other tribes and territories, we have decided to let them continue again for the time being. This is a temporary state of affairs, but it is not plausible that they will last more than a century or two at max. Fleshly affairs dictate their squabbling and their mutual extermination while our goal rises above such things.
I say that, but I have my doubts. Sentra backed my analysis, but I believe that Eulogea is getting too irrational for her position. When we held council recently to decide who- if anyone- we should war against, she shocked both of us by demanding right out that we attack the self-proclaimed Empire. We were able to convey that she is wrong here, but she is still driven less by logic.
To some extent this is a fault in sister Sentra too, although far less, and she can moderate it. We have received a request for a trade deal by those who call themselves Korelian Mystics. This is an interesting opportunity. It was brought up at the war council held, and the Mystics offered us payment. After some negotiation on our part, we were able to barter more raw materials from them. The original plan was to just send a small force of nodes for defense and raids, but at the end of the meeting, Sentra unanimously declared that she would be leading the force. Upon later questioning, she brought up a few good reasons, but I still find them to be flimsy.

Ah… the bitter ashes of victory! The taste of a triumph paid for in the scraps of the fallen and the waste produced by such! And the revulsion that the purpetrators of such delinquency and maliciousness escaped with naught but a light slap on the wrist! We should be slaughtering those preening imbecils who dare title themselves so extravagantly as the “Empire of the Rising Sun”!
But this is not the proper forum for my bereavement. This is for recording actions and registering with Mother Matricies. In the war council, I was thoroughly downvoted for direct combat with the vile criminals. However, we will maybe get some revenge. I know not who the Koreli Mystics are allied with, but with the renting of our nodes, some will see battle, and hopefully will pound the fleshlings that are so arrogant as to attack us! However, I would not that the ones we send out come back even tarnished, so it was right that I go and send my blessing with them. Sister Sentra will be accompanying them, and I have given her my request to attempt to manipulate the political standpoint of our clientel.
Whichever the case may be, I do disagree with her choice to leave right now. There is plenty going on here right now that would be useful for her to be here, and while we are far from defenseless with her gone, it is imperative that everything go right currently. Mother Matricies is starting to awaken, and while she has plenty more to go, it would be a shame if she couldn’t be here for when Mother arises.

We have been on the road for a day now, and we are already quite far from our borders. We have left claim markers every so often, and this land is now ours, but I will stop here. If our surveys of the land are correct, we would overextend ourself if we went much farther.
The nodes with me were hand picked for aggression. A good portion of them have been acting out recently since the raids against the Dromokans. Perhaps this is one of the functions of the odd waves that they threw at us? Either way, we work towards cracking those every day. However, that is not relevant currently. A couple of the nodes picked have been modified. Since we are going to the assistance of apes, as sister Eulogea called them, she would have it that we give them assistance in their own way. So with minor modifications to the structures we have reformatted them.
We expect to mainly be used for defense or guerilla combat here; the forces we have are too small for a pitched battle. I have done plenty of research, and “Mystics” are people of a supposedly magical nature. While all of the claims to magic have been proven false so far, these types were reputedly quite poor in the arts of physical self-defense, meaning that they will probably be heavily relying on us. I plan to see what sort of political affiliations they have with the other tribes, and try to get a read on the situation there. Hopefully I am wrong and they do intend to use us for attacks though; simulated battles are just not helping to keep my rising impulses down, and I fear sister Scriba might be picking up on that.
~~Sentra, Protector of the Core
I had to make a brief edit to a card because of an unforseen consequence of a wording correction suggested at one point.
"We are accepting too many treaties. We must expand somewhere!", said Kanamaru.
Linasha replied, "All in good time, Warlord. Yes, we have two allies already and must expand, but we can continue to find new territory."
"In the end, this shall come to war, and you know it."
"Bide, warlord. I propose we accept the peace put forward from the clan, expand further, then think about attack once we have the greater foothold on this world."
Kanamaru shook his head. "I don't like it, but what you say is true. We shall mobilise the armies, go to even further territories. Any who impede our expansion shall be destroyed." He looked back at her. "Go. Accept the peace, but know that we shall find an enemy in the unknown."
"Honour be with you."
"Honour be with you.

You really wouldn’t want to miss a challenge. With how little territory is currently available, that would be suicide.
