Fifth Invasion

[Heq]

I tried to add a timeline summation, but I am rubbish at wiki markup (I know, I work with R for a damn living, the humour is not lost on me).  I think the system of having the various timelines from the differing perspectives works, but feel free to change it.

I just felt I should put out the secrets Solips is keeping, as he's less likely to share with people who don't worship a rotting corpse.

.. how come netherworld is both hatred and war against all human realms? i mean in the old diplo table, 1 axis shows hatred, the other shows war.. (mind you.. similarly, ivf vs sint)

[Telrunya]

While normally Diplomacy is a two-way thing (ie. Both are at War, or both are at Peace etc.), Hatred is not. Realm A can have Hatred for Realm B, while the Realm B is just at War. Hatred does not have to be mutual. All the Human Realms are at War with the Daimons, while the Daimons are at Hatred with all the Human Realms.

[Lefanis]

There is no hope and no solution
This is the beginning of the dark age
No god can help us now
It's our destiny to suffer in pain
Mankind is going to die

Really? 

All of the songs talked about how there is no hope..

There's no way to see
The rain filled for ¤
A hand leads you advise ¼
Not of This World
They are now with you
Get ready
You MUA? T they tà ¶ th
It is so far

This was the translation of the German one without posted lyrics. Is that a hint at the light maybe?

Without giving away too many spoilers.. Do have advies collect three books of Daimon banishing. It's not too hard, and very much worth your while. If 5-6 advies cooperate, you can do it in a week.

[Lorgan]

Grm, we can't even trust eachother and now we've got to trust that daimon worshipper...

Tough call.

Another Song posted. Lyrics

(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)

Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
We will give strength to those who still remain

So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate

And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winterborn
Without denying, a faith is come
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn

Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
(you defend)
And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never cry

So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate

(prepare for battle)

And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winterborn
Without denying, a faith in God
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn

And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winterborn
And in this moment..I will not run
It is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands
(bloodied hands)

And in our dying
We're more alive, than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
For I am Winter-born

And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be the light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith in man
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn

Within this moment
I am for you, though better men have failed
I will give my life for love
For I am Winter-born

And in my dying
I'm more alive than I have ever been
I will make this sacrifice
For I am winterborn

[Zakilevo]

What could this song mean?

[Lorgan]

Clearly it's nothing more than an ode to the great Winterborn warriors of Thalmarkin!

[Lefanis]

Grm, we can't even trust eachother and now we've got to trust that daimon worshipper...

Tough call.

Daimon worshiper?

[Lorgan]

Daimon worshiper?

The first son sent a letter to all the rulers that Overlord has started some sort of hidden ritual in Zuhle and we need 8 portal stones activated in the region to end it. If we don't, the south will be cut off from the North, supposedly.

It all sounds a bit tricky to me.

[Lefanis]

Lol.. Portal stones usually open portals, likely they want to summon more daimons given their recent losses.

Lol.. Portal stones usually open portals, likely they want to summon more daimons given their recent losses.

Actually...to my knowledge, that's never happened.

Portal stones are used to close portals, not open them.

I'm pretty sure the idea that they could open portals started on other continents when they started showing up there, and eventually migrated back to BT. But there is nothing that any dev or GM has done (to my knowledge) to encourage this belief. It's purely a player invention.
