The High King Dain has sent out his Whirlicopters to search for new people to meet and diplomatize with. The Gate Continues to be closed as the High King keeps watch for Orcs, who last attacked 42 years ago in A.G. 7622. He looks west to The Reich and North to the Elves for help in destroying the Orcs once and for all. @Agent141 @Wickedkent
The new Monitor ship is fast and agile, and he plans to search the world for new mines to prospect.
There is also the manner of the recent, small scale raids of the Orcs. Ten or twenty of the feral beasts at a time try to scale the mountainside and attack Khazad Nurn.
He begins his search for the answer. There is also the troubling news from Khazad Erenatur that Mont Eldrich has erupted mildly, sending out a cascade of magma.
All in all, the first days of this new year will be intriguing. He decides to cap it off with a visit to the Twenty Four Great Halls of Dwarves, using his new Air Ship Eldaritch. He wants to gauge the defensive strength of the other cities, for while Khazad Nurn is the easiest pass west, the other cities are harder to get to and therefore less defended
. He prepares his soldiers for drilling, using them in mock sieges where they are assailed by small pellets propulsed by air. This will help his men in sieges, and he also trains them in mock battles where they fight 'orcs' (dwarves with light armor and swords in shields) where the dwarves are outnumbered. First trials are less than he hoped for, but the men will get better in due time.

The Elven Royal Guards stopped the whirlicopters from passing any further. They forced the copter to land and it's operator to step out of it. They looked at the small man who jumped out of the copter. They figured that he was a dwarf and asked to state his reason for approaching the Royal Walls. The Dwarf messenger stated that he carries a message from the Dwarven High King for the Elven King. The Royal Guards escorted him to the palace to meet the king. The King was sitting on his throne with his royal guards standing all over the room. The Dwarven messenger bowed and gave the king a letter. The King read it all carefully and then he chuckled.
"The Mighty Dwarves ask for help?" He said with a smile. "Fine, it is just right for us to send help as they have aided us on driving the orcs out of our lands. Tell your king to expect some troops to arrive at your walls." He then dismissed the messenger.
2000 Huntress, 2000 Warriors, 1000 Archers, 500 Hippogryph Riders and 500 Magic users has been mobilized and sent to the walls of the Dwarven Kingdom.
The King has called for a meeting with his generals. They discussed about political, military and diplomatic things. They then decided that they will send Hippogryph riders to all directions in order for them to come in contact with other empires and possible establish a trade deal and NAP.

The Reich
Kaiser Franz was sitting in his office when suddenly someone burst into his office. "Mein Kaiser! Mein Kaiser" he said. "Ja, was es ist?" "Eine Botschaft aus dem Zwergreich im Osten." he said as he handed a letter to the Kaiser. "Danke, jetzt gehen" The man saluted and shouted "Lange lebe der Kaiser! Lange lebe das Reich!" before leaving. Franz sat down at his desk. He opened the letter and read it. After he read through it, he grabbed a piece of paper and started writing a response.
The Letter:
"Hello, ruler of your lands. I am Kaiser Franz of The Reich. We don't know much about you, but if it means destroying another threat to my people, then we would gladly join the campaign."
Franz had the response letter delivered to the High Kingdom to the East. 10k pikemen, 5k riflemen, 5k horsemen, and 2k cannon crews were sent to join the campaign.
@Albion
Seeing they're no longer the only country on the continent, Kaiser Franz ordered a fleet of 5 corvettes to explore the sea to the West if there is anyone else out there.
@Anyone to the West of me
Also a result of contact, the Kaiser and his advisers begin discussing expansion plans.
The guards outside the walls of Gusenburg stopped the Hippogryph Rider and asked them who were they, where they come from, and what's their business here.

The Sugar Sea (Western Oceans)
Selwyth and his fleet were sailing the sea, enjoying the plunder of the village they had just raided. He received a report that a group of 5 ships had been spotted. "Hah! New Targets! Let's head towards 'em!" However, as they got closer, it became apparent that these were not just average island trader ships. These were well built, and looked like they could hold weapons. It was decided that communication would be attempted instead of raiding. As they approached, Selwyth jumped right off of the edge and landed perfectly on his personal tuskwhale, which then swam towards the ships. He jumped onto the side of the ship and climbed on. When he made it to the deck, he began to speak in his booming voice. "Greetings, from the Great Kingdom of Harukadia! We can see your ships are well built, and while they of course pale in comparison to our great navy, it is still clear you are more than islanders or tribesmen! Tell me, from where do you come?" @Agent141

The High King thanks both Kings gratefully and prepares the forces for the march east, the drills getting harder until they are ready. Then, when the final forces arrive, they march east, attacking and razing orc villages and setting free any prisoners to return to their homelands. The provinces shortly east of the dwarf kingdom are razed first, but in the middle they find the first Orc army, numbering 60,000 orcs with light steel and poor iron armor, their swords rusty. The men draw up for battle. The generals discuss tactics and decide an entrenchment, though the Reichian general disagrees. The winds are light and snow is light. The Elf said they should split in two, but the Dwarf General disagreed, pointing out that the dwarves are best at defense and so placed them in the center, so the other forces could hit the enemy from the side.
Phase 1:
The allies draw up their lines and prepare to face the Orcs. Rifles load and machine guns prepare to fire. The Orcs hoot and holler and prepare a charge. Cannonfire ripples along the battlefield, killing a good few orcs.
The Orcs charge. The vanguard enters range. Archers begin to fire a few arrows, but few casualties are taken.
The Vanguard is shattered and most of the Orcs rush the Dwarves, due to their intense hatred of Dwarves. Three divisions attack the Reichians, who reply with a cavalry charge. A single division attacks the Elves. Archers continue to fire but are pelted by cannon fire.
Riflemen and cannons cut through much of the enemies. The battle appears to be won, with an Orc Rout.
The Orcs rout and the soldiers begin to cheer, when an ugly sound comes from behind. A mighty force of Warg Cavalry arrives, beating on drums in the back lines and chanting. Then, they charge.
The Elf riders meet one division and a small division in battle, fighting tooth and nail. The Orcs charge the Dwarf lines, who hurredly attack bayonets and dig in. The Reich Pikes form up and put their pikes up.
Two Divisions retreat and the Reich Pikes move in to surround the two enemy cavalry divisions. The Elves rout a division and are fighting off another.
The Battle of Longbow is won, as it is later named. 1460 Allied casualties, mainly in the dwarves who got the brunt of the fighting. Somewhere in the range of 40,000 Orc Casualties, with the Orcs escaping with 25,000 alive. This was merely a weak force, however. Rumors and whirlicopter scouts report a vast force of six hundred, sixty thousand or so orcs, armed much better than these ones and with somewhere in the range of 1200 trolls, along with a large force of goblins, somewhere in the range of 60k. This was only a meagre force, and poorly armed. The biggest battle is yet to come. @Agent141 @Wickedkent

The Western Oceans
Things were smooth sailing for a while until a lookout shouted out from the crow's nest. "Kapitän, Flotte gesichtet!" The captain took out his spyglass and took a look around. Indeed, there was another fleet. The other ships noticed this too, their crew swarming along the decks, readying the cannons. At that time he heard some movement in the waters nearby. The crew noticed as well, as they grabbed their standard issue Dreyse Needle Guns. Someone then appeared on the deck and spoke. The immediate reaction was everyone pointing their guns at the man, but then captain motioned for them to put their guns down. He then spoke "We hail from The Reich" was all he said.

Commander Sylvana Perdithas
She disagreed with the plan of the Dwarven General, but was forced to agree. It was good, but they would require to fight the enemy head on with all of their forces, where as her plan would divide their troops into divisions to perform maneuver warfare and attrition on the enemy. The enemy forces would have lost more enemy troops if they had followed her plans. but nonetheless they have won. She congratulated the other generals and the troops.
She has also requested wood materials from the dwarves as they have a sacred rule to not harm nature. She ordered her troops to construct a temporary elven camp as she is uncomfortable sharing places with the other races
Note: The Grey Pallisades are planted diagonally as a form of defense

Warrior with the Silver Eyes
Iron King Thuradin Grudgeheart
Within the Hall of Ancients, the Iron Lords of the Deldremmor Empire gathered, one of their people's most ancient and sacred sites, set right in the heart of the Everpeak. At the center of the meeting stood the Iron King, adorned in black gromril armor inlaid with runes, a master craft pistol on his hip, and a fearsome war-hammer resting on his right shoulder.
"The Beast Tribes to the North have been quiet for some centuries, but we would be fools to think that Scourge has been removed from this world. Each of you lost much in that war, and the Book of Grudges remembers it well. This Silver Age will end if we do not expand, do not secure our place in this world."
Many of the Iron Lords grumbled their approval, with only a few giving any form of disapproval.
"You would have us leave our ancestral homes? Break tradition that has been inlaid in our society for countless generations? What gives you the right?" This demand came from Beleggar Stonehammer, Iron Lord of Karak Kadrin, one of the most powerful Deldroks in the Eternal Realm.
The Iron King responded by driving his hammer into the table the Deldren were gathered. "By this right? By right of my crown, and by right of our Ancients decree!" His voice thundered through the hall, the stone seeming to carry his voice as if to further prove his point.
Iron Lord Stonehammer gave a fierce look at the Iron King before his face broke into a smile, nodding his approval. "By your will Iron King."
Before anything further could be discussed however the doors to the Hall were thrown open, revealing four Iron Guards who guided in a Dwarf. This caught the Iron Kings attention, having not dealt with his distant cousins in many, many years.
"So, our cousins have decided to pay us a visit then? What news do you bring the Deldren?" Thuradin asked, his curiosity piqued by this unexpected arrival. Upon receiving the missive a small cracks his stone like visage.
"It seems our kindred are struggling to hold the Green tide. Let us lend them some Iron!"
Beleggar Stonehammer stood at the mention of war, eager to bring battle against their most hated of enemies. "I shall gather my Throng Iron King, legion of Karak Kadrin will march to war to show the Empire's worth.
The Iron King only gave a nod of approval before his attention turned to other matters. Now they had to see what the rest of the world had to offer.
Upon his command, the Iron Fleet was dispatched from the Ukdrok of Barak Varr, split into three squadrons to attempt to find unknown lands and nation
@anyonewestofme
Meanwhile a Gyrocopter was sent to the north west to meet with the Cascadian Empire, their closest of neighbors
And with surprising haste Iron Lord Stonehammer left with his Throng, consisting of 8,000 Iron Shields, 700 Rangers, 1,000 Wardens 300 Iron Horns and thousands of artillery pieces. After some time they arrived at the allied forces encampment where they seemed to be waiting for the final battle to occur. Now it was time to meet the commanders.

The Dwarf General - and his men - greet their cousins heartily, thanking them and explaining the current strength reports on the Orcish Enemy, as whirlicopter reports are saying that more and more orcs and trolls gather, with 3600 trolls and 946k Orcs, and the number grows more each week. @Keidivh

Droma, Imperial Port City (shown on map below)
A glorious day for the Empire had arrived. The Emperor had come to Droma to witness the launching of the First Vadian Exploration Squadron. 5 Vadian Navy steamships and one ironclad, VNS Droma, were heading out to explore the ocean to the west and seek out new civilization for the Empire to trade or make war with. Soon, the Second Vadian Exploration Squadron would be launching to sail around the north of the continent and seek life in the oceans to the East. Exploration had become the craze, and every Vadian was excited about the prospects. @you all to the east
Western Frontier, Duchy of Freolden
Across the Frontier, caravans and scouting parties were being sent out. Their goal was the scout the rest of the continent, primarily the Northern areas and the West, trying to find a route straight to the Eastern Seas. Along the way, the goal of most caravans would be to set up small colonies to provide bases for future exploration.

[SIZE= 36px]The Great Wall, South-East Border[/SIZE]
To the South-east of the Empire, the Great Wall stood tall above all of the surrounding nature and wildlife. Using Mother Nature's creations to its advantage as it went over great mountains and into large valleys, no-where was spared from the Wall's construction in-order to ensure that it done its job correctly, which was keeping the Empire safe from those that would intend to harm it and of course the undesirables from either the Outlands or from any other Kingdom or entity. Savages especially, the Wall stood around the entire Empire and had proven to be its greatest creation, lined with cannons, artillery, gatling guns and a combination of both Riflemen, Elven Skirmishers and local militias that voluenteered for guard duty. Many large banners for the Empire were laid all across the wall to show that this was indeed a Cascadian creation and that everything beyond it did indeed belong to the Empire and its people, many flags flew proudly from its many guard towers and entire military bases were scattered behind the Great Wall. A young rifleman stood at his post, rifle in hand as he walked back and forth between his designated points, keeping a keen eye out to both the ground and the sky as he saw something approaching from the sky. Which was unusual to say the least, not unheard of but not expected either. Running over to his Alarm as he grabbed the horn and blew into it, many other riflemen wasting little time in joining him to see what the issue was, looking up to see the unknown aerial vehicle flying over them.
They called out to the flying vehicle with another one of these horns. "Return to ground immediately or you shall be fired upon. This is your first and only warning." Needless to say that it obided by that call soon enough and the riflemen of this segment of the Wall surrounded it, it was piloted by a Dwarven which was expected due to where it had come from and how complex the aircraft was. The Base Commander, Colonel Williams approached the Dwarve and the two exchanged a handshake before moving onto more important business. The Dwarven messenger was told to wait until further notice as a messenger was sent to the Capital to inform the High Government of the messenger's arrival.
Upon arrival of the other Dwarven messenger, from another nation. The already perplexed guards sent message of another messenger that wished to speak with the Empire's delegates.
The Royal Palace, Greater Cascadian Empire
The King's Guard surrounded the palace as they usually did, the Great Fountains of the Palace flowed majestically and the sun shimmered off of the magnificient statue of the Royal Guardian Aria, the warrior sent from God to defend the Empire and the Royal Family, the many waterfalls of the Palace poured down into the icy water below and many government advisors, lords and noblemen went to and from the many buildings that made up the Royal Palace and its surrounding grounds, ships of the Royal Navy patrolled the surrounding seas and Elven Skirmishers stood guard high above the ground in their nests, snipers at the ready. The many flags of the Cascadian Empire waving proudly from their poles high above the Palace. Meanwhile Princess Catherine and her escorting guards made their way towards the Palace entrance, the Royal Guard standing at attention with their chins raised and rifles by their side as she walked past, returning to their guard-stance as she entered the Palace gates. She made her way into the Royal Hall, using it as a short-cut to her destination, the large golden covered room serving as a beautiful backdrop on her journey to visit her father as many servants hurried themselves about, setting out the tables and chairs for the upcoming annual Royal Dinner where her father would address the ruling party in Parliament on his wishes for the next year.
Taking her time up the steps in the usual, domineering way that she did. Being a member of the Royal family demanded it, the sound of her leather boots making contact with the fine marble surface of the floor beneath them echoing across the large hallways of the Palace, always followed by a chorus of other boot echoes from the escort of guards that followed her. "Ah, Lady Minroe. It's a pleasure to see you here." Catherine said politely as she near-bumped into the prestigious Lady Minroe, her father's chief advisor on the economy of the Empire. Minroe fixing her skirt down as she nodded respectfully to the Princess and replied, "Likewise, I assume you're here for your father, Princess?" She questioned, Catherine nodding. "He just finished with his meeting so he should be ready for you." Catherine smiled, "Thank you, Lady Minroe. I look forward to seeing you again." The two then nodded before going their seperate ways, Catherine reaching the top of the large tower that dominated the Palace's impressive skyline, approaching the incredibly large golden pair of doors that was the famous entrance to her father's quarters. Two of the King's Guards standing outside, one of them turning around and pulling on a lever in a rather complex manner, it was the King's lock mechanism that acted as a way of allowing only who he wanted in to be in, with only himself, Catherine and the most veteran of the King's Guard aware of how to open it.
An array of hefty mechanical sounds erupted abruptly as the two large golden doors slowly opened up, the King's Guards standing at attention once more as Catherine nodded to them, her own guards remaining outside as she entered her father's most prized room. Inside was a lovely array of a few of the most famous and expensive pieces of artwork that the Empire had to offer that lined the walls, 6 in total. With a beautiful pattern of exotic silvers and golds lining the walls and ceiling, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a King size bed near the back of the room, her father; King Donald sitting at his Study which was at the side of the room, surrounded by other chairs in which his chief advisors would sit when they discussed matters of the Empire, it was an impressive Seata-wooden made desk, Seata wood being the most luxurious wood found in the Empire's lands lined with gold, he was focused on a paper in-front of him or had been at least. Turning around to see his daughter standing at the door awaiting his approval to speak. "Speak." He said with a smile, Catherine wasting no time. "Father, my men at your Great Wall have recieved word from the Dwarves to the South-east, they wish to make contact with us. Along with the Royal Dragoon Scouts reporting back, there has been great amounts of Savage activity to the North, enough to warrant concern." She had spoken quickly and without taking a breath, leading to her father's brief chuckle. "Save your breath, my child. The Wall shall hold off the Savage attacks until I can draft more men to reinforce it, and I shall accept the Dwarven call, let them know that we are willing to enact in talks."
Both of the Dwarven messengers were then taken to the Royal Ambassadorship in the Capital to discuss what it was that the Dwarves wanted with the Royal Ambassador, Sir Arnold Backsler.

Selwyth listened as the man told him where they were from. "Hmm. We have never heard of this 'Reich'. Perhaps you have a map or a chart to show us? Show us where your island is." @Agent141
Meanwhile, back in Harukadia, two explorers had returned with news from the east. Apparently, an island, "greater and more massive than imagining", had been discovered. News spread throughout the Kingdom quickly, and soon many were thinking about raiding and settling this new land. The land surveyed was said to be fertile, although the southern areas were colder and filled with pines and snow. Preparations for further exploration and settlement were made.
In the Sweet-Tree Isles, news of great ships to the north was heard. A small group of ships set sail to find what land these large ships had originated from, and hopefully to make contact. @Loyal Guardian@Lordvader59

The soldiers and their army cotninue their march northeast, burning and razing Orc villages. The continued march and the reports of growing Orc strength are worrying, so they march as swift as possible to attack the Orcs.

The dwarves begin work on the Great Rail between the 24 Halls. The steel is easily procured, along with stone for the stations, but they still need wood. They send a messenge to the Reichians requesting wood in exchange for silver and steel. While they wait for supplies to be procured, Dwarves begin to excavate tunnels into the mountains the Rail will go through. @Agent141
The Dwarf is intrigued by these humans and offers to show them their gun and sword to prove their craftsmanship and offers to sell weapons to the Humans. @RIPSaidCone

Augustus Valerian, Captain of the VNS Droma, was sitting in his quarters when a young boatswain ran into his room.
"Captain!" he flashed a salute "we have reports of unidentified vessels on the port bow just entering visible range."
At this, Augustus sprung up, running out onto the deck "All hands! Make ready the guns! Quartermaster, Syllbus the Marines! We dont know if this force is hostile, but we must assume the worst." The Imperial Colors were hoisted on the mast and the fleet drifted closer in a battle column, the Droma leading the way. Eventually, they closed to shouting distance, and Augustus took the helm. "Greetings! Identify yourselves!"

The Captain looked around for a few minutes before he pulled out a map of The Reich and showed it to the man.
Meanwhile, one of the other ships spotted another fleet in the distance. One thing to note of this fleet was an iron ship, similar to the Reich's own Ironclads. Another ship seemed to notice. Both ships now sailed to greet the unknown fleet, proudly flying The Reich's colors.

The Reichian commander greeted the other Dwarven commander and introduced himself as a commander of the Reich's forces. The Reichian troops also greeted the Dwarven troops, nothing more than a handshake.

The guards hesitated for a minute before motioning for the rider to follow them to the Kaiser's Palace
Kaiser Franz was discussing expansion plans when he heard a guard yell "Mein Kaiser!" "Was ist es dieses Mal?" Franz said. "Ein Besucher aus einem Elfenreich. Er sagt, er hat eine Nachricht für Sie." the guard said. Franz looked at the Elven Rider and waited for him to speak.
The Kaiser, before this, agreed to the Dwarven trade deal.

Selwyth carefully examined the map. "This island... either you have very small nation or that is very big island! Very well, this is most interesting. Tell your leader that we would be willing to make trade. Perhaps we send you fruits and fish and other foods that fill the mouth with a thousand flavors in exchange for metals? Anyways, return when you have any deal for us." With that, Selwyth jumped straight off of the ship and onto his whale and went back to the fleet, which sailed home. @Agent141
When the fleet returned, Selwyth was immediately informed of the new Eastern Land. Looking at all the maps, he realized the connection. "We just met men from this land! They say their nation is called 'Reich'. This is very great day for Harukadia!" Ships were now fully surveying these coasts.
In Croina, the Harukadians got out of their ships, and the main captain, Zovan Krikid, met with the Secretary of State. "This is quite interesting city you have! Is this what you rule, or is there more? Anyways, I am from Great Kingdom of Harukadia, and we are here to make contact and perhaps establish trade or other relations." @Loyal Guardian
When the Vadian fleet was encountered, all weapons were prepared, but when they sent their message, it was decided not to fire. "We are from Great Kingdom of Harukadia! Where does your fleet come from?" @Lordvader59

Three Thousand Club
Eastern Sea, Vadian First Exploration Force
Augustus quickly answered "We are from the Navy of the Great Vadian Imperium. You are one of the first civilizations we have come into contact with."
"Order, ARMS!" A command came from Quintus Octillion, the Droma's quartermaster, which the marine contingent quickly followed and lowered their Octavian pattern VII repeating rifles to the position specified.

Warrior with the Silver Eyes
Iron Lord Beleggar Stoneheart
Stoneheart was glad to greet his kin, offering a firm hand shake in greeting as his men became forming camp, greeting the human commander of the so called Reich as well. The Deldren warriors gave their own gruff greeting. It seemed he had arrived just in time as reports were coming in that the Greenskin horde was swelling to unprecedented numbers. Not that it concerned him. Deldren didn't need quantity when they had quality. But this force was of such size that it had the potential to overwhelm the entirety of the allied forces.
"If what you say is true commander, then you know as well as I we have no more time to wait. We need to force the Greenskins hands before we are drowned in the tide. What kind of terrain are they located in?" He inquired, eager to see what they could try and use to their advantage.
Thankfully it seemed he wouldn't have to wait long
Ambassador Durand Steelstrike
All in all, Durand was pleased so far by what he had seen from this empire. Their wall was an impressive sight to behold, and while it paled in comparison to the the Grimnir's Hold or Dothreg's Bastion, it still spoke volumes of them as they realized the kind of threat that the Beast Tribes represented to all sentient beings in this world. Their cities however left much to be desired, being so... Well, unfortified. What would happen when the Beast Tribes got past the Wall, which was an unfortunately strong possibility considering their unnaturally large populace and bestial ferocity.
But those things would need to be discussed later. Pointing out potential weaknesses was not the best way to make introductions. The journey was quite leisurely as they made their way to the capital city, which was a true, bustling metropolis of this nations elite.
Eventually he was brought to meet with the ambassador Arnold Backsler who would be representing this nation in their first true meeting of minds. Upon entering the hall he saw there was another Dwarf, the kin of his own folk. It seemed they weren't the only ones looking to explore the world.
"Greetings Ambassador Backsler, I am Ambassador Steelstrike of the Deldremmor Empire, the Everlasting Realm of the Iron Spine. I come to speak on behalf of the Iron Kng Thuradin Grudgeheart, the Beast's Bane, the Grudgebearer. He has seen fit to send me to offer a hand in friendship and cooperation. I have seen your Great Wall, and I know that your people face the same threat as we do. It is not a threat you will want to face alone. As an offer of good will, the Iron King is willing to dispatch a delegation from the esteemed Engineer's Guild of Zhufbar to assist in the construction and strengthening of the Wall. In exchange, we shall support each other in the light of any great Beastmen incursion. I have also come to set a trade deal between our nations so our wealth can be furthered increased, and for a small toll, will be offered safe passage through the Iron Spine for trade to the lands in the south."
It was a great many things that were put on the table, but these were turbulent times, and the Everlasting Realm needed to sort out who was friend, and who was against them. Besides, Deldren weren't known for being tactful, even if their job is to be so.
Iron Admiral Barik Urkson
Urkdrok of Barak Varr
It was a truly momentous occasion when the Iron King had declared it time for the Deldren to finally unleash their fleets upon the sea. Iron Lord Barik Urkson had long dreamt of the day when he would lead the fleets of the Everlasting Realm across the sea to expand their domain, and now that time was here, and he was to lead it, being designated Iron Admiral of the Iron Wave Fleet. Upon the return to Barak Varr he immediately began gathering his troop. Experienced sailors, soldiers, merchants, ambassadors and even a few settlers. The entire Urkdrok was in an uproar, and many gathered to the Harbor of Jewels where the entirety of the Iron Wave Fleet was docked, from the rare Ironclads to the mighty steam ships. He boarded the greatest of the Ironclads, aptly titled the Grudge's Storm. To him he gathered two of most trusted Thanes, Methrok and Duradin.
"My Thanes, the Ancients smile on us this day, for we now embark on a journey that no other Deldren has trekked. We will sail across the great seas, and we will bring the Will of the Deldren to all we come across." A great cheer was given by both the thanes and their men, all who were eager to depart on this voyage.
"In order to explore the most territory possible, we will need to divide the Iron Wave Fleet. I will take two of the Ironclads, three corvettes, and two of the Iron Breakers and head due west. Duradin, you shall head northwest with one Ironclad, four corvettes, and two of the Iron Breakers. Methrok will head south with one Ironclad, five corvettes, and two Iron Breakers. Find lands for us to explore, to claim, and find who we share this world with. May your Wills be Iron my brothers."
With nothing else to be said, the Thanes departed, their fleets leaving the great harbor and journeying out into the sea. Barik couldn't help but take one last look back at his home, seeing it's people mill about the marketplace, the many Guilds that were strwen throughout, arguments and deals erupting throughout all of it. And over it all stood the Great pillars of the founders of their home, who watched over them eternally. Now, he would enact their will.
"Let us sail."
Arrival at Croinia
Eventually the Iron Wave Fleet under Barik encountered a patrol. The Deldren were quick to prepare for battle, when they were approached and given simple instructions to dock at one of their cities. While wary, Barik was eager to meet a new nation so quickly and accepted the invitation, his fleet arriving at the port city of Darsikow.
Upon docking, Iron Admiral Barik marched off of the Grudge Storm accompanied by five Iron Guard, each holding a banner of the Everlasting Realm. They then awaited a delegation to meet them and begin discussions between their nations.
OOC: Will add more later, got a party to head to

"The Orcish positionis a hilly area with the largest mountain in the world in the center. This mountain was created when Garrilus rose in power, and after we crushed him and his host. We believe the foolish Orcs were preparing to march forth and attack the Gates of Dainur. I agree that we should move out of this position as swift as possible and attack their position while they still prepare. The more time we spend dawdling, the more orcs and trolls gather." @Agent141 @Wickedkent @Keidivh

City of Dockland, Cascadian Empire
As the Dwarven ambassador, who they now knew as Durand Streelstrike entered the city via train, arriving at Dockland Central. He would most certainly notice that Cascadian cities weren't as militarized as his own and were far more centered on luxury, commercialism and civilian living. With large booming commercial centers, advertisements for various different products on the roofs of most tall buildings and incredibly busy streets filled with people and horse-drawn carrages. There were even horse-drawn carrage taxis, the Dockland Taxi Company being the owners of which. Along with taxies there were also large bus-versions of carrages that were pulled by four horses instead of two and had multiple large wheels, being able to fit around 30 people on one. Carrages filled with people and others with boxes and products to be sold were drawn around, people met in large groups and newspapers were sold on most corners. Dockland was an incredibly urbanized and fast-moving with the city having its own famous Dockland Underground railway system that spanned across the entire city, police officers with their tall hats and shiny metal badges patrolled the city streets and many large buildings of culture and social activity stood around the city with multiple parks and malls to go along with them, Dockland getting its name from the incredibly large port it had which connected to the Williamette River that in turn led out to the Northern Ocean.
The Ambassador was taken to the Royal Ambassadorship in the center of the city where most other government and administration buildings were. Where Ambassador Backsler happily greeted Ambassador Steelstrike "Greetings to you also, Ambassador Steelstrike. It's a fine pleasure to meet you, come and let's get seated." He said, escorting him to the Common's Room where the pair sat down on the comfy couches provided and of course the large, well decorated room was fully heated. Ambassador Backsler taking off his coat and laying it neatly next to himself as he turned to face the Dwarven Ambassador where the conversation picked up once more. "Our Empire is more than pleased to see such a level of good-neighborliness. And unfortunately yes, we are aware of the presence of such Savages." He nodded, listening closely to the other Ambassador's words. "Our Empire and my King would most definitely be willing to accept your detachment of engineers as we are aware of the Dwarven prowess when it comes to construction and engineering. I will have my King notified of this and I shall inquire further about this proposed trade deal with the Commerce Minister although I am most certain that he will agree to it. The Cascadian Empire greatly appreciates your willingness to cooperate with us and I hope for our two nations to build a healthy, beneficial relationship in the future."

Alsbach, Republic of Croina
Secretary of State Leon Rehburg met with the captain from Harukadia and greeted him. "I am Leon Rehburg, Secretary of State of the Republic of Croina. This is a port city, we in fact control much more than this peninsula. Our capitol is further north across this large bay. As for trade it depends, what do you have to offer of value?"
@Fishman Lord
Darsikow, Republic of Croina
When the Minister of Defense Anton Bergen arrived at Darsikow he looked at the gates in the port that read 'The City That Links the East and West, Darsikow'. In terms of importance the city was between the shortest way around the region to the south of the country. When Anton arrived at the port with his guard he smiled when he saw Dwarves, not out of insult but out of respect. He had read the industrial machine the Dwarf Kingdoms can be, so he was somewhat glad that he had made contact with a possible strong ally. He walked up to the Dwarf and greeted him. "I am Anton Bergen, Minister of Defense for the Republic of Croina. It is a pleasure to meet you all. We have a building near by where we can discuss relations, trade, and alliance actions if you wish."

"The Elven King has sent a message for yoy" He said with a bow. "He requests for a trade partnership and an alliance between our two prosperous countries."
Sylvia Perdithas
She was meditating in her tent when a guard came in and reported that another race of Dwarven reinforcements has arrived. She did not know them therefore she felt uncomfortable. She then asked a soldier for reports. The soldier responded said that the commanders are in a meeting right now, they did not call for her as they thought they would distract her. She then stood up and went to where the leadwrs are co versing.
"Patience, Dwarven Friend" She said as she entered. "Before we engage in battle, we must first lay out our plans." She then placed a piece representing the orcs in the map "Attack then by stratagem, but first we need information. How many are we dealing with?"
