Rumors of War
Part Deux
A Lovely Little War
June 6 -8, 2025

Call to Arms!
This time it's for real!
Last year the rumors of war were proven to be false. While the enemy did not appear on the horizon, the Atlantian Army, small as it was, was ready to defend our lands and hold off the invaders until the entire kingdom could be mustered and brought to bare.
This time it's for real! We know the rumors to be true and the Meridians are coming!
The Back Story
The Canton of Stormwall is completely surrounded on three sides by the Kingdom of Meridies. It is logical that the Meridians would make their incursion into Atlantia through this sleepy canton nestled in the mountains. It could take weeks before news of this invasion would reach the ears of the Atlantian Crown and a kingdom wide alarm is raised. Stormwall must rely on their brethren from Hawkwood and their cousins from Sacred Stone and Nottinghill Coill if the invaders are to be slowed or dare we hope, repelled. Gird up your loins, strap your kit to your steed and make haste to the West to prevent the invaders from gaining a foothold on our lands.
A beautiful place for a wonderful little war.
