Under the guidance and leadership of Diakon the remaining force of about five thousand troops of humans from the Keln-Gylith area just outside of Sothron as well as a smattering of phantoms and wolds continue to expand their foothold northward into the gap between Ashenmark, Voraniss and Sharangil. Reports of small outposts as well as troop patrols being establish indicate that this area is no longer safe for travel without a significant guard. Furthermore, reports have trickled back to the nearby nations of individuals who managed to successfully travel through this area claimed to have passed through areas in which they were unable to feel the divine presence of their gods.
