YEAR 1 REPORT

Spoiler

 


 

The first year of enhanced Rimetrolls Raids in northern Almaris had ended.

 

With their farm and sole food source destroyed by Descendants, starvation has driven the inherently-peaceful Trolls south to the farmlands of Haense and Norland, bringing with them death and ruin through their immense strength, their powerful frost-breath, and other hidden abilities. This report will document the status of the Raids from this first year, and the effect they have wrought on the targetted nations.

 

YEAR ONE RAIDS

  • The Hibernation Raid: After waking from their winter hibernation, a stampede of Rimetrolls flooded through the outskirts of the Haeseni capital - Karosgrad - and reaped their entire harvest. Though many Trolls were slain, they succeeded in retreating with Haeseni food supplies. Two Haeseni Knights were killed in the raid.
  • The Road to Astfield: Non-aggressive Trolls attempted to pass through the north into the Haeseni territory of Asfield with a view to reaping vassal farms. The Haeseni Army met the Trolls on the road, and successfully repelled them.
  • The Elysium Pact: Rimetrolls arrived at the Norlandic breadbasket of Elysium seeking food, and the populace instead struck a deal with the Trolls, even going so far as to draw up a treaty.

 

FAMINE STATUS

  • Haense: After losing the entirety of their capital harvest, Haense teeters on the edge of famine. One more lost raid will begin to trigger famine events.
  • Norland: In their deal with the Trolls, Norland exchanged a sizable harvest of crops with them, drastically cutting their own food supply in the first year, though not enough to yet bring them into famine.

 

TROLL STATUS

  • Population: The Rimetroll population has suffered heavy losses during their incursions in Haense, reducing their population to 90% of what it was pre-raids.
  • Food: Despite the losses, the Rimetrolls have managed to steal or trade enough food from Haense and Norland to sustain their population and keep their strength up.

 

NATION RELATIONS

  • Haense: The vast majority of the Rimetrolls are extremely hostile towards Haense after the numerous violent encounters. The chance of passive dialogue with the Trolls grows thin.
  • Norland: Most Trolls are currently passive towards Norland, primarily due to many Trolls returning from Elysium alive and with food. Some Trolls have even signed an agreement with Norland, but the effect of formal alliances on the entire Troll population is dubious, and may not have a real effect on most Trolls besides those who actually signed it.

 

RESTORATION ATTEMPTS

Certain groups have begun making efforts to restore the Rimetroll's farm, thereby giving them back their source of food and ending the war.

  • The Fellowship of Umba: A rag-tag group of Highlanders, Elves, and a Heartlander joined forces after they were brought together in the Rimeveld through unlikely circumstances. Working with the Rimetroll Chief Oxx and the demented elder Troll Umba - who remembers the origins of the Rimetroll farm - the Fellowship has traced the farm's magic to the flooded city of Balian in central Almaris. Contending with a strange figure who seems to have deadly control of the seaweed covering every inch of the city, they are currently making their way into the depths of the ruins in search of answers.

 

SIGNS FROM THE NORTH

As the Raids enter their second year, wayward rumours and panicked reports from shepherds and lumberjacks make their way down from the borders of the Rimeveld of what the Trolls seem to be doing next.

  • The Northern Frontier: As Haense puts up resistance against the Rimetroll incursions and bodies begin to mount, a slew of Rimetrolls appear to be preparing to push through the northern frontier on multiple fields to spread the Haeseni defenders thin and break into their mainland.
  • The Elysium Breadbasket: After Trolls carry back word of bountiful food at Elysium, the rest of the ravenous Rimetroll population seems likely to try get some of the food for themselves, and there surely won't be enough for all of them.
