Can't believe I spent so long without updating - I didn't even mention our slaying Neclord and that was weeks ago.

Anyway, to bring everyone up to speed: Neclord has been dealt with - the Zodiac Sword nullified whichever vampiric ability made him immune to our attacks and the rest, as they say, was history. The Warriors' Village of Lorimar are now ( Read more... )

So since my last entry, I met alternates of Flik and Stallion on the Nexus. A rather interesting experience, and I hope my world's Flik finds some peace soon enough as well ( Read more... )

Chikyou: Moose, another blacksmith; agreed to join once he saw his three friends were in the army as well.
Chitai: Marco, a man who runs a three-cup game who I had previously met on Rockland. Joined after I made a 5000 potch profit.
Chiyu: Quincy, an archer of indefinite gender I had talked about before. I 'ported to Garan Fortress on a whim after ( Read more... )

So, it seems the Imperial in charge of the Lorimar region is one Neclord, some sort of runic vampire who destroyed Viktor's hometown and who demands young maidens as tribute from the local villages. Windy has really odd taste in friends.

In order to defeat Neclord and forge an alliance with the Warriors' Village, we need to head to a nearby temple ( Read more... )

So we were expecting a token battle against the soldiers stationed on Lorimar Fortress, only to see no one leaving to face us. After a while, we sent Kasumi over to check. She went in, opened the gate, and let us in.

The place is now more of a graveyard than a fortress.

We decided it would be more prudent to ask for information at the Warriors' ( Read more... )

Well, we've re-secured the Gouran and Kunan regions and had most of the enemy troops join our side after the battle, in accordance to their leader's dying wish. That means, at least, that the likelihood of this war ending soon with us as the victors has increased to the point of its being a near-certainty ( Read more... )

Oh Shield....

How many souls has this rune absorbed without my noticing?

Preparations are ready. We go to battle today before sunset (that way, the gul-horses will keep getting lured into the light that emits from the fire spears).

Though I'm confident in our victory, I can't say I'm not worried; I know from our last skirmish that my father doesn't have a Black Rune on his person, which means that, unfortunately, he's ( Read more... )

We're back at Achilles Castle. Mose and Ronnie Bell will be instructing the troops on how to wield the fire spears, after which we'll go to battle once more against Father's forces. I got a good deal of new recruits thanks to this journey, including some Stars (of course):

Tenfu: Kun To, a merchant from Kirov and an old acquaintance of Tai Ho's. He ( Read more... )

Well, it's been an eventful journey, all right. First I literally circled around Kirov trying to get some soap for one potential recruit, then we braved the monster-infested ruins of Kalekka and finally we reached the factory, where we got reacquainted with Ledon and Kessler, of all people. Tomorrow we're heading back to Kirov, to talk with an old ( Read more... )
