UPDATE TWO
Wars of expansion
The southern continent knew several years of war almost everywhere, as kingdoms are being built:
Lanka invaded Bandar Log. Monkeys invaded monkeys, and their curious faith is spreading in the southeastern jungles.
Mictlan conquered the Jaguars Jungle south of its capital.
The armies of Mictlan were overwhelming. Lots of slave soldiers invaded the jungle.
Soon, the jaguar tribes realised their neighbours came intent on conquest, as a few villages were enslaved by the huge army. Some tribesmen tried to fight some skirmishes, but they realised that wouldn't stop Mictlan, so they regrouped and prepared for battle.
When the fight took place, Mictlan's sacred eagle warriors flew upon their enemies, taking them by surprise, and slaughtering them in fits of berserk rage so fast that the rest of the army hardly participated in the victory.
The Mictlanese immediately took control of the province and its riches, and started enslaving population, sending some of them back to Mictlan. However, the proud jaguar tribes didn't like being turned into slaves, and many of them fled southwards into the jungles of Machaka, where they are now warning the locals against Mictlan.
C'tis expanded westward into a burning desert. However, plague broke out on the great river banks, as stinking marshes were uncovered by the wizard-god and he tapped them for power. Many died there, but Sslaah of C'tis apparently believes their death will only make him stronger.
Abysia also decided to expand. They sent an army of heavily armed lavamen and human hybrids into Nubia, the country upriver of C'tis, where they quickly defeated their opponents.
However, it is clear that C'tisians and Abysians are on less than friendly terms. A C'tisian ambassador was sent back home with a clear and deadly message from the lavamen. C'tsi ruler Sslaah says that even the Abysians know that he's a true immortal god, and he made a speech in his capital, telling all of his people that soon Abysians would see the truth, realise they worship no real god, and that they would soon become part of his flock. Or else...
In the north, things have been less warlike, but not entirely peaceful either:
In the west, the country of Marignon has revealed itself to the world by conquering the lands of Marverni, west of Ermor. Marignon is ruled by "Archmage Hocus, The Sacred Flame, Real Heir of the One, He Who Sees Through Illusions". His priests are fanatics, and led his armies into Marverni, forcing people to adopt his new faith. Ermorian people are scared of this new, aggressive, neighbour, but Hocus hasn't proferred any threat... yet.
Meanwhile, Ermorian cult spreads east into Slavia, where Pythian Celes is also regarded as a god. Many Slavians pretend that worshipping the Ermorian emperor brought them good luck, but some unbelievers say that this luck has mostly been due to the unexpected deaths of some of the lucky ones' competitors.
Meanwhile, in Pythium proper, there are tales of a boy who reportedly found a magic book in an old temple. Details are scarce. It seems the boy found a book and performed feats of magic. Word spread immediately, but Celes's priests promptly covered the story and little is known about boy, book and temple, only rumours.
In Ulm, a great tournament was held, with knights jousting and footmen practising all kinds of martial demonstrations under the auspices of the priests of the Monolith. The fair and market surrounding it drew lots of money to Ulm's treasury.
In the northeast, Arshnoc armies invaded Seul.
This victory of Arshnoc was celebrated by Shinuyama merchants, who, thanks to an open borders agreement, sailed to Seul and started trading with the Arshnoc people.
This certainly helped Arshnoc troops take control of the land, as the inhabitants realised they might become wealthier under Arshnoc's rule than they had been before.
Shinuyama set up a navy to invade the northern island called Jomon. They tried to obtain the reddition of the local bakemono sorcerer-king, but he refused to yield and brought up an army of human bandits and kappa to fight the invaders. Shinuyama elite troops, armored and using deadly swords, cut through their enemies with ease, but the bakemono light infantry showed poor morale and fled the battlefield as the enemy sorcerer shot magical fire at them. The bigger bakemonos, both the armored ones and the huge O-bakemonos, slaughtered the bandits and caused the enemy sorcerer to flee, not to be seen again.
