At the 18 hour mark the gods are pleased and feasting on the blood lust that has enguphed the lands in their names.

008 * The Last Alliance
000 * Shadow Legion
000 * Ragnar's Kin
001 * Northern Coalition
001 * Mystral Ascendancy
011 * The Circle
000 * Ancient Ones

At day break the encampments around TC broke up. A cry of "MURDER" rang through the air upon the discovery of the Wolf's Den guards. TC was outraged!! They sent for scouts and courriers with message forging new and unusual alliances. Both NC and MA heeded the call, joined forces with TC along with a vow to break the back of LA.
Defense was assigned, runners were aligned, troops were then marched forward to LA. Once reaching this hated territory the only call to battle was the memory of those guards who's throats had been layed bare in the night. The effect could be seen in the pure lust for blood as the TC battle group hit LA. Over the wall, through the gate, up on the battle turrets the battle raged. LA fallen hard and fast. The defenders were no match for the fury they had stirred.
One by one the relics were retaken by the powerful TC combined force. As a reward to MA for assisting, they allowed the solo brave warrior to take a relic for themselves. Thankful this lone warrior return to cap the relic and bravely stand guard over it.
NC felt a little cheated. After all they did provide more forces to assist TC, so in a small a step of retribution, NC hit the MA temple hard, stealing that one relic for themselves.
Did this selfish act break any alliance? We don't know and will have to wait until the next update.




*********************
13th hour
As the battle worn on TC defenders wore out. They held their own magnificently until nightfall drifted in. As the action slowed down TC sent their scouts out to scour the woods. With no enemies in sight, the weary warrior looked towards their leaders, who made the decision to rest for the night. 3 were assigned to camp at the entrance to the Wolf's Den, sound the alarm should anyone manage to get by the encampments.
The 3 guards took up their position by the fire. Not realizing how battle fatigued they were, they soon fell to the greatest enemy of the night, sleep. One by one, as the crickets chirped, they surrender to their exhaustion. Sleep, although dangerous, became their welcomed friend.
Unbeknown to the battle weary a spy had be embedded within Melincia a few days before. He now sent word that Melincia was camped for the night, that oportubnity was at hand.
LA, sending wave after wave to raid the Wolf's Den that were defeated now, tried a different approach. Quiet and swiftly the best at stealth made their move. getting by the encampments in Melincia Forest and Wildwood, they made their way towards the Wolf's Den. Upon seeing the 3 guards in a trance like state, their hand moved only to reveal reflected moonlight on glistening blades. The result of these action was similar to a light breeze rustling but 1 leaf on a grand tree, left all 3 guards unable to sound any kind of alarm.
Swiftly, quietly, LA whisked the relics away to their fortified stronghold.

As day 2 breaks, these questions will be asked and answered. Who will aline to break the back of LA. Who will resolve to steal the relics away. What forces will prevail. I anxiously await these anwsers.

The Circle has won this round of the relic wars. The statue will be placed in the forest home for all of nature's creatures to behold. The fights were fierce and well fought on all sides.

Congratulations TC...and good luck next time.
