Normally I would put more effort into posts like these, but my priorities are not with roleplay for now, so a simple bullet point progression will have to do.
- General d'Vaud suffers only minimal losses capturing Fort Mei from Precaëlle. Admiral Black's fleet however does not assist at all. The ships sail in random directions outside of his control. Later it is discovered that Brissiaud loyalists conspired to sabotage Black's orders for his friendly acts towards the Baron's Coalition, though some criminal element from the crime world in Regalia is also suspected.
- Ragnhilde Ulfurtonn's army besieges Fort Bas, however the Siege eventually turns into a camping trip as there is a camp mutiny against the leadership of Ombre and Ulfurtonn, dominated by women who the Army officer Corps refuses to adhere to, and without the officers, the soldiers refuse to move.
- Morbus Imperium's tests to use Url Blood to find out infected individuals is somewhat effective, the organization discovers that Url Blood responds practically the same against any and all infected materials, including but not limited also to other diseases, wildlife and botanical life. At one point a doctor's pet triggers a reaction, another time a plant that was standing next to a window. Url Blood is discovered to have a wide sickness detection application, but it is not precise enough to detect specific illnesses, it simply seems to reject anything that isn't pure.
- General Ruyter's forces reinforce d'Vaud departing army from the captured Elven city. The Elven reinforcements from the mainland wait for d'Vaud's Army to begin besieging Fort Mei before they strike. The Elven Army counting 50,000, twice the numbers of the Crown Army, attack the city with a rapid pace. While the defenders hold out bravely, they are eventually defeated when a breach is made and the Elven horde descends on them.
- The vast majority of Ruyter's army is captured and he is treated by Prince Läefel, one of the local princely rulers of the Elven city states. The Prince treats General Ruyter and his personal companions Heinrich Bergmann and Dietricht Drache well, though eventually states very clearly to Ruyter that he regrets what the war has come to, and that he was forced to act by the King in reprisals against the tone of warfare set by the Regalians, referring to the savagery of Buhr in neighboring Rië.
- Ruyter is then brought to the city's Hippodrome where he is forced to watch as 17,000 corralled Regalian soldiers are butchered, unarmed and defenceless in the central ring while the General and the Elven Prince overlook the matter from the Royal Balcony. Afterwards, the General and his two companions are set free on horses and sent to Fort Mei which had meanwhile fallen to the Regalian forces, with the knowledge that their entire 25,000 man army was exterminated. After their departure, Prince Läefel evacuates the Elven population from the island and retreats his forces, thus leaving the entire island in Regalian control while burning the city behind them, and leaving the Regalians with the knowledge that the Elves would respond in kind to the genocide inflicted on them, though the Prince did leave the impression that they remained somewhat open to negotiations.
- In Regalia, Crime warfare starts heating up as the Devout Few launch another attack on the thugs of the Circle. This time however, the Circle's thugs are reinforced from all sides by every single other gang in Regalia, forming a large coalition that outnumbers the Devout thugs. With such overpowering odds, the Devout Thugs are defeated and scatter in the wind.
- General Typhonus besieges an Elven Fort elsewhere in Rië, while sending his kinsman Jaecar out with a smaller 5000 man army to raid. Halfway into the siege, Jaecar returns to the main camp citing a complete and utter destruction of his raiding army by unknown forces, citing that their camp was attacked in the middle of night and they had no means to defend themselves or even identify who they were attacked by or by how many, they barely escaped with their lives. The siege against the fort stalls when Daniel Silevon is uncovered infiltrating the garrison, a homogenous Altalar population easily picking out an Isldar infiltrant and imprisoning him. With Silevon imprisoned inside, and with the recent loss of 5000 men, the siege assault is postponed until further notice.
- Krupp's Fleet is also stalled before entering the Strait of Ilu. Forward scouting reveals the Elves have taken considerable measures to massively reinforce the tight choke point of the strait, thus barring Krupp's fleet from entering a crossfire zone that would surely result in the loss of half his fleet. His raiding party under the usual suspects however is more successful, torching the Elven temple of Antui, or Serenity, and taking many Elven artefacts with them before anyone can respond.
