Fifth Invasion

[Thunthorn]

It's on the dynamic map. Zoom out and see.

I don't think they're a sign of the apocalypse; I think they're points that Overlord and his TLs can teleport to and from. Maybe they were supposed to be there the whole time but Tom was busy with the million other things he's working on and only recently put 'em up, hence no continent-wide message.

Overlord and his son teleported from Bisana to Xhaghus so I don't think this is the case. They may be places they can fasttravel with their troops within the blight though. More likely they succeeded with whatever ritual they were performing and can bring in new and more terrible Daimons to eat do battle against.

Makes me wander what we could have done differently. Melhed has been on five distinct campaigns against the daimons and only been on the losing side of a single battle. We feel that we are winning, still the world keeps getting bleaker...

Indeed...

I'd say come to Riombara. But I don't see how you could cross the blight

Get arrested as a rogue, get released. You then get to chose your new realm, and get TPed to that realm (if you don't have a unit).

Only way of getting across that I know of. Now, if you intentionally get yourself banned in order to do this, then that's probably abusing. But for this, I'd tend to think it's normal game mechanics working as they always do.

[Marlboro]

Ah, but Thalmarkin is allied with OG, you'd probably turn Malos over to them and then that's bye-bye him!

Allied with but not beholden to. Important distinction.

True enough, but still a potential risk. You never know.

[Iltaran]

Emigrate to AT. Sit around sending your taxes to your family for two weeks. Emigrate to BT and select Riombara. Problem solved.

There is at least one way that is completely IC - but rare. A magic scroll of teleportation. Good luck finding one, but I know a few are around.

Wonder if those scrolls can teleport you to the fire regions where you could sacrifice yourself/unique items/portal stones and shut it down somehow

I wonder if I can find 2 in the south, to go to Fronen and back...

Now that would be awesome. XD

Welp, it appears that the incompetence of the Beluaterran nobility has literally doomed all other islands. 

Thanks guys.

[Geronus]

It's all your fault for not sending us reinforcements, fool. Didn't you get Laszlo's message to all the rulers of Atamara? 

[Iltaran]

Thanks guys.

Incompetence?!?! We've been so successful in fighting the Daimons that Overlord is going to flee Beluaterra and attack the other, wimpier continents!

+1 for truths.

[Lefanis]

Sadly, Overlord had to change his plans, and decided to invade the rest of the continents, as there weren't the necessary souls to craft his prized soulforge knickers on Beluaterra.

Perhaps Atamara shall be more to his fancy

Letter from Overlord   (3 hours, 48 minutes ago)
Message sent to the human rulers of Beluaterra (9 recipients)
The time has come to crush you into the dirt where you belong. You did well against the flesheaters, not many of the races I have conquered stood and fought at all, and fewer still managed to score victories.

But all of your efforts have only provided us with the souls we needed to unleash the true horrors of the Netherworld upon you. Clad in the shades of your former friends and comrades, wielding swords of night and terror, they know no fear nor mercy. Everything else was fun and games compared to these soldiers of mine. I am very glad to be able to lead them into battle once more. It has been too long.

Enjoy, for it is the last thing you will do. Many worlds have fallen before them, and yours will merely be the latest addition to the collection.

Overlord

I guess we're not that pathetic and weak any more. Once we're Netherworld Slaves, we can boast at how awesome we are to the other more pathetic and weak slaves!
