S1C8: Dark Days
Greetings from the Sea of Many
Dionea is displeased with us. We lost River’s End to the Underworld Collective. The water there is no longer ours.
It seemed that The Underworld Collective were able to fight through the distractions in The Circuits, allowing their soldiers to launch their counter-attack against our front line. Even the random mortar strikes, the Governed launched onto The Underworld Collective didn’t stop them from reaching from The Reeds, fighting us and taking River’s End away from Dionea.
We planted as many seeds as we could before we were displaced. Hopefully, Dionea’s children spread throughout Atlaunder, and may she blossom as much as she can. We failed her, but it is not over for us.
We have recaptured Overwatch from The Governed. While not the most advantageous, at least compared to River’s End, Dionea’s grace spreads all over the East. We have more forces to launch a full-scale attack on the Underworld Collective at River’s End. We still have our reserves in the Roots to keep Dionea stable, but she is still sick… our first priority is her survival.
It must be noted that The Governed did breach our home turf, though they were quickly disposed of thanks to Dionea’s protection. The Underworld Collective is still tackling weakened forces in The Circuits, and both The Governed and the Oasis Network are now battling it out against each other all throughout the South-West. Because of this, Jeritopia is now a point of interest to us. Dionea still wants us to carry out her will, and so we shall. We must. There are two objectives at hand:
We send everyone north to River’s End. Dionea's leaves are still brown. By reclaiming River’s End she can continue to heal and make herself stronger. While it will take time to gather our forces to make sure we can turn the tide against The Underworld Collective, we might have the advantage of not being distracted by other enemies.
We can overtake Jeritopia. Dionea needs to spread her grace. We must let everyone see the divinity within nature. If we take over Jeritopia, we can surround The Reeds, making it easier to overtake it and grow our numbers to aid in taking over River’s End.
We might have lost today, but know this... When trees are cut down, more will always grow in their place.
The Teeth of Dionea
