I, Empress Nevia of the Rising Sun, have granted the forces upon Nemain one of my personal guard, who will be able to equalize the battle with the Wendigo. An unparalleled force, they will be able to finish off the Wendigo. If they are unable to procure victory, we will default to the previous plan, and I will arrive to deliver my Wrath.
With hope,
Nevia
(war card)
is there an updated map yet?
Lore:
We venture northward in search for something on the North Pole of Nemain. All Zarildi feel it, and send explorers on north.
"The war is always calling, hmm?" Tenar asked.
Sarai looked over at the her as the squire brought the knight-commander her armor. "It's one of the constants of this world. We've known this since the beginning."
Tenar sighed. "I know. It's just...wish there was at least some respite. Our citizens are beginning to stir, you know, and I'd like to distract them from what's coming. If nothing else, it'll help them remain loyal. Besides, the front's been quiet for a while until now, and we should celebrate that."
"You're right." Sarai smiled at her friend. "You're right. Our people need something to reinvigorate them. Even if the wendigo front is getting hot again, they need something to make it seem like we haven't forgotten about the home front." She paused for a second before adding, "The flagship's been gathering information. With that, we can make strategies based on our enemies' movements..."
Let's say... 72 HOURS?
Diplomacy you say. Harbinger and the Xedd can be diplomatic. Harbinger sends out the Archivist to visit the surrounding territories, teaching them the vast knowledges that has been accumulated through-out the millennia.
When you press on it, it'll drop down, and you can press spoiler.

Hi!
Any estimates?

Well it appears things are a lot more serous than I was led to believe. The attempts to destabilize us by these “Guardians” have been persistent and a detriment. They apparently view our domain as the most threatening to them, not that I blame them with Sister Eulogea’s emotional treatment of their envoy. We have put the guards on more shifts than they really should be under, but there are fewer of them with each passing week. Sister Scriba has assured me that her team is at work tracing the lines of mana that seem to feed them. If she hurries, we may have a task force left to take down the place.

Things are turning out quite interesting. Several things were brought up at the meeting today. There was a moderate invasion of our territory by the Wendigo, and they resurrected the Dromokans, including the leader himself. We sent word of our displeasure to them and await reply. We also have been contacted by our once-foes, the Empire of the Rising Sun. They wish to ally with us against the Wendigo, and have offered us a few things. Negotiations are under way, but the conclusion is practically foregone. We have our goals in sight, as the lines of mana we have been following center right in Wendigo territory. We have nearly the location to a fault, and a simple task force would be more than enough to break in and squash the pests that are the “Guardians”. My only worry is that the Rising Sun is a warlike society; they would attack us once the Wendigo are gone, forcing us to act with speed rather than with deliberation.

@spe@SpellPiper2213 Please note that we are now at war with the Woods of Wendigo, although hopefully not for long. Also, allies with the Empire of the Rising Sun.
Basically, the war with Nemain has been tough, but recently the researchers on Arcane Island have found something that could help. Recently, they have been having visions about a strange "dark heart" that they believe to be a major source of power for the Nemainan forces. After Autumnal scouts quickly located the Heart, heated debate began in King Jael's court between the representatives from the four seasons. The Summrans wanted to burn it to the ground, but the Springans wanted to keep it for research purposes. In the end, a compromise was reached in which the area that housed the Heart would be put into a state of eternal winter, and the Heart essentially put in cold storage, until it could be figured out what was to be permanently done with it. For, regardless of its usefulness in figuring out the nature of this strange plane, it was still a power source for the enemy that needed to be shut down.
There you go! Like I said, I may update with a more detailed story blurb tomorrow, but it's past midnight where I live and I should probably be getting some sleep.
And that's judging nearing compleation! (I know I spelt it wrong, I think that might have been Phyrexian Oil in that molasses tin).
We're actually going to let the atmosphere simmer for a little while, but don't expect it to hold for long.
Someone's day of reckoning fast approaches, but those that survive shall face tribulations that might make them wish I kicked them off!
I don't think there is any use apologising any more, it will sound hollow anyway.
I ran into some trouble of a novel kind. Kind of had a mental breakdown.
The reason I left the previous comment vague was because I had some final touches to put for next challenge - never did end up putting them.
I'll try to update as fast as I can. I think it might be a wise move to speed this season up a bit before I kill it with more hiatus. Be ready for more eliminations.
I know I say this every other time, but this was probably the hardest elimination I have had to do yet. All of you have made yourself so integral to the contest's story, aesthetic and overall feel (and I do mean all of you), that eliminating anyone, let alone two people at once, seemed completely ludicrous to me. That's also part of the reason I held up for so long. However, the results are in, and two people are about to open a door to nothingness and get sucked in.
