The Trigod Empire has succeeded in its invasion of the Far Western Province. Caught by surprise, the forces of the land have been thrown into disarray. The passes of the divide have been reached and blockaded. While the empire builds up its strength, word of the invasion spreads. The forces of the land are slowly gathering strength as the garrisons of the passes are reinforced. Across forts and battlements, the soldiers of the land and those of the empire regard one another. Yet the objective isn't to secure one province. The divide won't be the empire's eastern border. Plans have been laid; preparations are underway.
