As the war rages on, a shroud of darkness comes in from the north, already blanketing most of the northern hemisphere in a black cloud raining ash from the sky.
One of the mountains in Hessia erputed in a massive explosion, decimating the barbarian regime there, and scattering the beastmen back into the wild. Refugees from Nexia were able to flee south before lava flowed through its western valleys. Nexians have primarily fled near the Health Colony, and have already decided to officially claim the land as New Nexia and set up a new capitol in its northern parts. Clouds of black smoke ave been billowing from the mountain for three months now with no sign of slowing down, and the enormous amount of lava has actually melted away so much water as to cause disastrous flooding in the New Nexian farmlands.
Luckily, 40,000 Nexians are small enough a number to live safely off the land without farms, and a surprising amount of natives have already heard the word of Amnesh, and are friendly to the Nexians.
tl;dr Volcano destroys Hessia and some of Nexia, refugees claim ownership of southern country. Missionaries in Health Colony proving to be more effective than anticipated.
