Erinn 1422 A.D. - Red has awoken from his presumed eternal slumber...

[Plethora]

The dwarves will not refuse your help. Enemy of my enemy & whatnot. Will still be a while until the dwarves have gathered in sufficient numbers for their undertaking, gives you plenty of time to prepare as well.

[Mikoyan]

An army of 2,000 archers, 3,000 footmen, and 5,000 winged hussars and heavy cavalry units under command of General Alecsander Maximus begins mustering to march on the orcs.

Tsar Andrei hopes that fighting alongside the dwarves will produce a healthy relationship between our nations.

The government begins showing an extremely liberal side as laws are passed allowing all races besides ones of nations we may be at war with reside in the Tsardom.

[Plethora]

A good bit of time has passed, and hundreds of thousands of dwarves have mustered at Av to begin the campaign against the orcs, a few thousand men not of the Tsardom who live near the dwarves have mustered to the army as well. When the Tsar's troops arrive, the march will begin. In all likelihood, most of the fighting will be underground. THe main objective of the campaign will be to drive the orcs out of several of the dwarves' ancient cities including the former capitol of the dwarves, Mt. Mithria. Since many of the mines in the mountains to the West dried up, chances are that there's little mining to be gained from the expedition, only what loot can be taken from the orcs.

Suddenly, something in the country of somewhere did something that caused something to happen.

And as a result of that, something did something.

[Mikoyan]

Once the company and battalion commanders report to the marshal, the army begins it's march East to meet the dwarf leaders. The expedition is to take an approximate 2 months.

[SWAT One]

The Raovenians find themselves at the site of the camping armies.  Puzzled and confused, they ask what can be done to get them to safety.

[Mikoyan]

"Of what nation do you belong?" the regional commander's voice echoes through his shiny barbute.

[grunterdb1951]

Locking voting, going to implement that list of creatures and a separate map showing where they can most commonly be located.

[blazerblock2]

Let him, let him cross through water, let him.

Lume reaches the edge of the island, and begins to spew magma from his mouth, covering the water, creating himself a bridge made of volcanic rock.

[SWAT One]

We're the remnant of the Old Raovenian Empire.  Our race, the Zaovans, were thought to be extinct a thousand years ago.  We are all that is left of that great civilization, now a nomadic nation with no niche.

[grunterdb1951]

Lume reaches the edge of the island, and begins to spew magma from his mouth, covering the water, creating himself a bridge made of volcanic rock.

The Constability of Seros forces the new races to go fight Lume himself, in order to live in their society they must kill him themselves.

[Mikoyan]

"You are currently in lands claimed by the Rosikanye Tsardom. A 50 man expedition of his majesty's hussars will depart at dawn for our capitol city of Petroski. You may travel with them. So long as you are in Rosik lands, you will be protected." The commander places a fist over his heart and walks quickly away. The Zaovans would later see a messenger ride south, swiftly.

[Plethora]

Everyone's nice to the elves Zaovans.

Scouts return from the western mountains with reports that somewhere between 800k to a million orcs and goblins currently defend the dwarves' ancestral cities. There are about 10 cities the dwarves are hoping to liberate, meaning that if the dwarves' armies stick together, they should be able to overpower the orcs. A base camp about halfway between the western mountains and Avalonia is set up and defended by about ten thousand dwarves, when the armies reach it, the base should be prepared to give them a couple week's rest on good rations. Similar camps are being set up at the one quarter and three quarters points. All told, the actual travel to the mountains should take about 9 months.

[Tomcat]

Reports of strange sounds and stolen livestock start trickling into the dwarven camp near the midway point to the mountains.

[blazerblock2]

Lume continues on the ocean for nearly two days and nights, before reaching his destination.  He begins to smite bane's creatures with his hands and magma puker.

Meanwhile in the North Pole Xeo frowns.
