Avalonian engineers make a solid stride in 'artillery' weaponry by creating a ballista-like device which is smaller and more of an anti-personnel weapon than anti-fortification. It has some flaws and kinks, but a few solid prototypes show great potential, and a completed version should be ready soon.
Avalonian forces in Plexia continue to land. The main army has reached the capitol and along the way destroyed a small-ish force of Bequelans engaged in razing a town. More Avalonians continue to land at the beachhead which is now quite well fortified, and scouts and Plexians are giving a very complete description of the lay of the land and positions of population centers and enemy forces. So far, greatly superior Avalonian cavalry and archery have dominated (Pretty sure we have the best cavalry in the world right now).
Work on Nazgar's bettered and expanded fortifications is completed, and the subterranean vaults and passages near completion.
After a long freeze in relations with Ormica and Espul following their dishonor after the War of the Britonic States, ambassadors are sent to both countries bearing gifts of steel helms, fine horses, and silver platters. It is hoped that this new generation will be bore honorable than their predecessors and that both trade and political interaction will be more open and free henceforth.
