Teracion
Southern expedition success! - Teracion sent an expeditionary force south the attempt to find suitable lands, or villages, of men that may not be connected to any other nation. They came across a few destroyed villages with nothing but dead bodies and broken buildings left behind, however eventually they came across a couple villages of people who asked them into their villages. While in these villages the men of Teracion talked to them about their plans, and offered assistance to these villagers who were undergoing major famine and raids from the troll clans of the area. These villagers advised them to not worry about these lands and asked if they could join them and return to the kingdom of Teracion.

Kaldorn
Mining operation makes a sudden discovery. - In northern Kaldorn the mining operations have made a huge turn around after the collapse from last year. During the mining operation in the north they came across an odd looking corridor deep inside the base of a mountain with what looked to be an alter hidden for years. Some believe this to be an alter to a rumored ancient religion but nobody knows the true name of the religion, all they know is it worshiped a once powerful god who was said to live in the core of the world. The people of Kaldorn were very pleased with this finding and researchers were sent immediately to investigate the alter and unlock any hidden secrets it holds.
Pasod
Disease plagues Pasod... - This year a disease spread rampant through out the nation of Pasod as a transport ship returned from the continent of Casoon carrying back some ores.

Darmaz
War on Felrend! - A vicious battle took place as Darmaz led a massive assault on the demonic nation of Felrend this year. The initial siege took a couple months as the orcs prepared to break through the massive walls constructed by the demons. After the walls finally crumbled it was Do'ram, not Garmoz, who's squad struck first as Do'ram let out his barbaric war cry to let his troops know it was time to strike their enemies hard. Do'ram's squad left none in their wake as they took on wave after wave of demons and Garmoz led his orcs around to hit the area where the demonic portals were guarded. Garmoz and his troops killed all the portal guardians they could find, as the guardians fell the portals exploded scarring any orc and demon to close to the fel eruptions. As Garmoz and Do'ram met up in the heart of the demon camp they met the Swarm Captain Grishnog who began to chant and turn the skies a dark red and rain demons down upon the orc army. The orcs were to strong for the demons that Grishnog summoned, so Grishnog called out for his leader... Overseer Valgod himself. Although Grishnog begged his master to come save him Valgod refused and said Grishnog would just be replaced, after that Grishnog looked at Garmoz and challenged him to a final battle one on one. Garmoz stepped up towards Grishnog who then laughed and surrounded both creatures in a ring of green fire and engaged the orc in melee combat as Garmoz began to gain the upper hand Grishnog summoned a dead demon back to life inside the ring of fire who struck Garmoz in the back with a massive claw, Garmoz slew the demon and turned his attention back to Grishnog. To Garmoz's amazement he saw Do'ram leap through the fire and cut the Swarm Captains head clear off, then reversed the motion of his axe to separate the torso from the legs of the creature who then exploded sending both orcs falling backwards and knocking them unconscious.

Grenoc
Strike Felrend. - Champion Norvash led an assault to aid the orcs of Darmaz this year, they arrived during the siege of the Felrend camp and help to destroy the walls. They took a different route then the orcs as the walls feel, they elocs went to the back side of the city and started pushing the waves of demons inward to funnel them along with the orcs. They made a distraction big enough to lure a majority of the demons so that the orcs could destroy the portals and confront the Swarm Captain himself. As the skies turned red however the demons that Grenoc were fighting began to sore into the air and fall in the center of the town, realizing what was going on the elocs began to recklessly attack the demons to weaken them as much as possible to help their orc allies.
