Zoluren Enemies Beaten

(31 Akroeg 376)

Baresh, this is nowhere near complete, but the news is important. I have been up too long, and my words will not be perfect.

When Grishnok, Jourok and company hit Zoluren as they warned, it was indeed the largest offensive yet. It took days to clean it up, and rid our lands of the ogres, goblins, pirates, cyclops and more. Many favors were called from the Thirteen, and there were too many comets.

At least one direct attack by an entire regiment was made upon the Keep. Zoluren made a quick stand there and not only repelled the invaders, but decimated them to the last one.While we were fighting for our province, the Outcasts took Shard. Expected, but still, frustrating; we wanted to be there to help.

Arthe Dale, Dirge, the Clans — all saw endless activity. Zoluren commanders systematically worked at each front until the threat was gone.

The enemy is gone even from the old Gorbesh Fortress in Dirge! Prince Vorclaf helped to lead the assault on the fortified gate there, and once we demolished the gate — the enemies were routed.

When Zoluren was sufficiently secure to turn our eyes south again to see what aid we could offer, the Outcast army, with Warrior King Raenilar leading it, was occupying Shard.

And he captured the Ferdahl.

At last word, Zoluren commanders and citizens were making a number of plans to try to rescue Ferdahl Kukalakai. Word reached here that the Outcasts were planning to execute her.
