The RP Direction for the next Year (RP Time)

Swathes of Jaramide and Aramaelle will fall, allowing the Shadow to raid into Almoren and Safer and capture parts of the northeren half of both countries. Much of the Borderlands will eventually fall, except for certain pockets. Deranbar does not fall again, the Nations that capture it will be able to hold parts of the land that they have won, and proclaim a new King or Queen of Jaramide.

Aridhol will hold on to parts of of Jaramide as well. Canaire 'Somelle and Allorallenn will remain under the control of Aridhol, but Alorallen will be cut off from the rest of Greater Aridhol.

Basically, after the two victories at Deranbar and Tar Valon the war will be taken into the heart of then 10 Nations, and the 10 Nations will suffer major defeats until the winter. Of course there will be some minor victories everywhere, but for the most part the 10 Nations will be losing due to the shear numbers arrayed against them. This will happen because of nations believing they can fight the Shadow alone, and many of the nations not entering the war at all. Throughout the War the 10 Nations was severely out numbered in almost every engagement, this Spring, Summer and Fall will reveal that the Shadow is willing to use those numbers.

NEW

In Western Aramaelle along the border of Jaramide with the of men and supplies from Jaramide they have been able to halt and push back in the Shadow advance a little. In the East the Aramaellan's and Manethereni have been evacuating the area as they are being continuely driven back. They are making plans to retreat to the Western half of Aramaelle and use Mafal Dadaranelle as their staging point to hold back the Shadow, and for any future offensives. The retreat will eventually leave Almoren, Coremanda and Tar Valon open for invasion. Eventually it will also open Aridhol to invasion.
