"I hope I never meet them again and that karma repays them somehow. They've already suffered enough for nothing because of my fault" — this grim thought kept circling in his head the entire ride to Sizki.
Shortly before arrival, sitting in a secluded corner, Genza once again meticulously checks all his equipment, every pocket, seam, section of clothing and bag, every item, every rem with maximum methodicalness — does anything feel strange, unusual here?
Upon stepping onto the platform, he spends some time breathing the free Asugukh air, then studies the schedule for departures to other cities (+list of Sizok locations), smoking a cig — a completely forgotten concept — listening and looking around as discreetly as possible, in case he might spot a tail on himself.
- Hey, Zibaba, you won't believe it! - The emaciated Shram, now without his elite armor, didn't look very presentable; his eyes clearly showed the crushing of his spirit and his voice carried only weakness, but outwardly he tried not to show any of it. - I'm reading the new "Cherenshenki" and I can't believe my eyes. Here, take a look yourself. How on earth did he manage that? On the arena he seemed like the most ordinary oddball to me.
Cherenshenki, XX.XX.1001
Situation in the West
Through the Guild of Wonders' use of mass destruction magic (MDM), the infrastructure of Tung and the undead within it were destroyed, but this did not stop the advance of the seemingly endless Harran legions; battles continue at the Ninung Gate at present. Trouble has also come to Ruzaniel — the enemy general Aristokrius managed to bring catapults to the walls and hurl over them a number of undead (for whom falling from a great height proved non-lethal) and infected barrels. The enemy combat units have since been eliminated, but it was already too late to prevent the spread of the disease. Protector Baka Marduk has announced the introduction of a quarantine. In Niniamat the situation looks better, but sabotage by followers of Sariosa is hindering matters.
Most residents of both cities have temporarily relocated to other cities in the country; the Adventurers' Guild has taken responsibility for providing food and shelter, and also assisted in moving people.
New Walls
Through the joint efforts of the Artisans' Guild, cyclopes, and wonderworkers of earth and matter, new defensive structures have been erected between the capital and Niniamat, as well as between Ruzaniel and Mufigur. Now even if the worst happens and the Ninung Gate falls, the undead advance deeper into the country will be slowed. Work is currently underway to build walls between Niniamat and Onkaikh.
Naval Siege of Zutyshm
On the day the Harran invasion began, the Asugukh fleet under the command of Lady Arabella Caswall began bombarding the enemy capital and razed a quarter of it to the ground. Imperial ships that attempted to interfere were sunk.
Barsin Marriage
In Kaltsit something happened that shocked the international community: Tsarina Felicia Lungworth played out an unexpected wedding. No less surprising was her choice of groom — the pirate Tylo Bocci, wanted in several countries of the middle and upper seas, better known by the nicknames "The Beardless Devil" and "Dead Eyes." The question of how exactly they found each other and fell in love may become as tantalizing a mystery as the paternity of Lunamaria es Diesra Arual!

Interview with Camistella Lane Now on Sale
For just 20 rem, anyone can learn everything interesting about the most popular model in Enlil, a sorceress and simply a charming woman!
John!
My hands always reach for anything that's lying around loose, and I have very good intuition for treasure, but I never could have imagined that the fish you so passionately desired would turn out to be so tasty. It seems to me that the Asugukh fishermen wanted to leave only bones for their Kaltsit colleagues and, so to speak, catch two fish with one hook. Whoever came up with that is a genius, seriously! What a joke. Thanks for the monocle, by the way, it came in handy.

The Onkaikh Horror
During construction work on the defensive structures, members of the Artisans' Guild discovered the decapitated body of the fisherman-herbalist Inak and his dog. Whether this is connected in any way to the undead invasion has yet to be determined.
