Battle Lines are being drawn throughout the Accord. Fighting spreads over much of the continent.
An agreement is reached, a plan is formed and the second legion of Ilac, under General Cassia marches from Ilac city. They are joined by the Saurans of Mon Zixa and the Waster Army led by Dust-in-Wind. Together, the forces move to the border with Sauropsida. Here they pause for a few days while great siege engines are built, using the last of the forested areas before the harshness of the desert. As soon as they are ready, the march resumes, the combined forces of Ilac, the Wastes and Mon Zixa move to take Dukada.
With the victory celebrations over, Attoa takes his forces back to Castann. The going is slow, passing through much of the hostile rainforest to reach their destination. Oba Whanui has a plan and that becomes more apparent as her forces gather at Kinga Redoubt. The mood at the fortress is contagious, the Toa Prime doing his job and driving the warriors into a frenzy of battle. After a few days of great bonfires, dancing and the application of many new tattoos, the armies move out. Oba Whanui herself leads the combined forces of the free Castanni, 5000 warriors ready to fight to win back their capital city. Tamahine travels with them as they move to retake Castann City.
With fighting erupting everywhere, the De Costa’s have taken this as their opportunity to act directly. A large fleet of ship comes together off the coast of the Isla De Hueso and sets sail for El Kebir. Sheik Cisneros is unprepared for the attack and most of his own ships are caught in port. These ships are scuttled by the De Costa who proceed to land a force on the island. Fighting takes place over two days, the De Costa forces supported by their renowned undead troops. However, El Kebir proves too much to handle with the support of the Escari and the Theridions on the side of Cisneros. The De Costa are pushed back to the coast and retreat to their ships. The fleet remains just off the coast of El Kebir, blockading the island. No ship may come or go now. El Kebir is a wealthy city with much in their larders and warehouses. Both sides prepare for a long blockade.
In the Duchy of Archion there is even more fighting. The Templars, under command of Clymenia move to take the city of Novella, capital of the Duchy. The Escari forces are scattered and busy elsewhere and the defence is laughable. It takes less than a day for Clymenia’s forces to wrest control of the city. A few days to establish order and she moves once again, this time taking one of her armies up to the city of Parrera. Once more with very little resistance, she gains control of this city, creating an area of control over most of the Northern portion of the Duchy of Archion
