Just me giving Eradan a funny way of speaking. The rest of the Fornn and other Forlucans don't talk like that.
By the way, I remember back aways during the ice age that once it ended that this would have something happen to it. Was that changed or something?

I think these two were meant to be envoys and offence.

I hate splitting our focus but the suddenly vassals situation pushes me into it. I was expecting the Caradysh to jump in but apparently they want a regime change, like seriously a new Caradysh Cadlon would be lovely.

Well, the joined our empire, so well, we need to devote to both fronts. Though interestingly, this could be advantageous, considering apparently we re actually at enough of an advantage in general that apparently allow us general parity against their forces when led by their genius martial leader...

Even if we both roll average, which would leave Skjaldur rolling a little higher than us, we'll still win thanks to our superior numbers and higher morale. And if they start winning hard enough, then they start having to besiege walled settlements.

Torn behind the need to defend both the Fornn and the Fordysh, Cadlon Evatine of the Arthwyd found herself having to split her forces between holding off High King Skjaldur in the lands of the Fornn whilst also driving the Nersondurans from the territory of the Fordysh.
Keeping the culturally Arthwydish forces for her own command and assigning the Forlucan warriors to Eradan's command, the Champion of Arthryn split off the barbarian elements of the Arthwydish army as she sent them to aid the Fordysh against the Nersondur invaders. In hindsight, Evatine would be unsure if she had made or not by dividing her forces as she did not know if she had gained victory at the cost of defeat or she would have been defeated regardless of how many she had under her command.
To the east, amongst the land of the Fordysh, things had gone favourable for the Arthwyd. While Raonul was easily a more capable general than any of the Arthwydish leaders opposing him, the barbarian warlord had over extended. Rallying the lowlander forces of the Nersondur Empire, Raonul was expecting the same resistance he over the past seasonal cycle and was completely unprepared to find any army from the Arthwyd Empire awaiting him instead.
While the warlord fought valiantly and managed to withdraw the majority of his forces in good order, the most recent fighting in the Fordysh favoured the defenders. Thanks to Raonul's quick thinking, the Nersonduran losses had not been as bad as they could have been, but the Arthwydish forces were able to drive the Nersondurans back and reclaim much of the previously conquered Fordysh land. While far from a crushing or an irreversible defeat for the Nersondur Empire, Raonul had very much suffered a defeat at the hands of the Arthwyd Empire.
Matters in the west were a different matter as Skjaldur proved just why he was so feared and respected. Eradan and Arnulfur continued to duel with their respective armies, trading a mixture of victories and defeats that slightly favoured the Nersondurans. Yet for the amount of land that Arnulfur had taken in exchange for the losses he had suffered had many on both sides doubting just how much of a winner he truly was.
Yet the highlight of the latest fighting had to be between High King Skjaldur and the bulk of the Nersonduran army against Cadlon Evatine and her Arthwydish warriors. Evatine was a capable commander in her own right, but she was no match for someone of Skjaldur's calibre.
The losses were little at first and intermingled with small victories, but as the seasons went by Evatine found herself increasingly giving ground to the invaders as the Arthwydish struggled to stem the flow of the Nersonduran conquerors. Yet even as she yielded territory to the Nersondur, warriors on both sides would die in an equal manner that favoured the Arthwydish and their greater reserves of manpower.
The fighting between the Arthwydish forces under Cadlon Evatine and the Nersonduran forces under High King Skjaldur would come to a climax at the start of winter, when the snow that had begun to fall in the north had yet to reach the Lowlands in the south. For the Nersondur Empire, the Battle of Redground Ford was a triumphant victory, a glorious achievement of Skjaldur and his unmatched martial prowess. For the Arthwyd Empire, the Battle of Redground Ford was a disastrous defeat, a terrible tragedy that had befallen the Champion of Arthryn and those under her direct command.
In mere hours, thousands on both sides would no longer be amongst the living as the death toll mounted in one of the bloodiest battles of the war so far. Completely outmaneuvering Cadlon Evatine, High King Skjaldur caught the Arthwydish warriors in a cunning trap and crushed them. Yet even as hundreds of Catclaws and Cateyes got cut down as they were swarmed by angry Nersondurans, they fought back valiantly and bravely and for every Arthwydish warrior that died, so did a warrior of the Nersondur Empire.
Despite the heroic efforts of the Arthwyd, the losses in the bloody battle were only even in quantity as in terms of quality, it was an unambiguous victory for Skjaldur and his Nersondurans. The fallen Nersondur were not equal in calibre to the sacred warriors of the Arthwyd Empire and every fallen Catclaw or Cateye was a bigger tragedy for the Arthwyd than the loss of a farmer turned warrior or a professional raider was for the Nersondur.
Caldon Evatine did her best to organise a withdrawal of the Arthwydish survivors, but by the time she succeeded, the damage had already been done. The ground ran red with blood and was covered in corpses and the day belonged to the Nersondur.
Yet as the Arthwyd army fled the defeat, the Champion of Arthryn spotted her vaunted rival on the battlefield as the High King of the Nersondur Empire personally led his forces on the frontlines. For a moment, Evatine had a choice. A choice of getting away unharmed with what remained of her army or risking her own life in an attempt to take Skjaldur's. She would be unlikely to survive the latter option, but if the Champion of Arthryn was to succeed, the war would be over in an Arthwydish victory as the Nersondur Empire and its invasion would fall apart with Skjaldur to hold it together.
What choices does Evatine make?
[] She makes the safe choice to get away unharmed to continue the war effort. (War continues normally)
[] She makes the risky choice to strike at Skjaldur, imperilling her own life for the chance to end her foe's. (Very high chance of Evatine dying, High chance of Skjaldur dying)
Sorry about the long delay. I just hit a point where I didn't feel up to writing any quests, but that has mostly passed. I am going to be aiming to try and update Chronicles of Nation once a week to pace myself. Hopefully that will be enough to keep my interest without it also being too much for me.
In the update itself, the Arthwyd Empire continues to prove to be a powerhouse as you can tank losses thanks to your greater reserves of manpower and a more robust society. Even though the Nersondur have won a series of victories in the latest year of fighting, they aren't able to keep up the war effort as much or as long as you can. At this point, Skjaldur needs to keep on winning to avoid defeat, but he is capable of doing that and the Arthwyd Empire can only take so many defeats. If you do beat the Nesondur, you still got to worry about the Boarfolk warlord returning from the far east and losing too many of your sacred warriors could have negative long term consequences.

Born Equal.
While the choices of a person and the world around them can make a person greater or lesser, everyone is born equal to each other.
Pros: Decreased social stratification,
Cons: Decreased social stratification,
Bloodied, but Unbowed (Linked to Charitable Haven).
Your people have suffered great loss, but you survive and you will recover. Blows that would break others merely leave you limping and your people have suffered enough of such blows to know how to recover and that they can recover.
Pros: Better at surviving and getting by in hard times, Bonus to dealing with disasters, Better resilience and recovery after suffering losses,
Cons: Harsher and ruthless,
Caretakers of Nature.
The Arthwyd are the guardians of their land and that means looking after the place that they call home. They will safeguard and preserve their lands lest they fail in their duty.
Pros: Bonus to land management projects,
Cons: Additional consequences for harming the land,
Charitable Haven.
The lands of the Arthwyd are prosperous and peaceful. Free from war, slavery and other forms of suffering, many seek sanctuary in Arthwyd lands in times of turmoil and the Arthwyd are more than happy to grant it.
Pros: Increased Idea Spread, Increased Refugee Arrivals, Gain a Value from current or historical neighbour,
Cons: Reduced Social Cohesion, Many think you weak,
Communal Mandate.
As per the words of the goddess, loyalty and kindness to one's people is of the highest importance and even when times are tough or when it is not personally beneficial, one should stick by their community.
Pros: Reduced Internal Discontent, Increased Resistance to Foreign Intrigue,
