The Fae: The Fae remain in chaos, their leadership in shambles since the disappearance of the Princess. While the council struggles to lead without her, the day to day lives of their people has remained relatively unchanged.
The Daemon: The long awaited war has finally begun, and the Angels have taken advantage of the Daemon Lord’s absence to start targeting important Daemons. The Angels have attacked single Daemons or in those in small groups and while they haven’t made a dent in the Daemon’s numbers the loses sustained are noteworthy.
The Shapeshifters: The old Alpha Female and the new Alpha Male have finally met, and the future of the Shifter race will be determined by the course of their meeting. Angels and Daemons both have their sights on the Shifters while the Shifters themselves would rather remain in the shadows and not take an official side, focusing instead on just surviving.
The Humans: With the Prince now engaged to a Boil commoner against the King and Queen’s wishes and the Princess remaining mysteriously ill, the human population are becoming polarized about the current rule. Some are satisfied with the gentler ruling and others are becoming dissatisfied, wanting to reengage in the war with the Fae while their Princess remains absent.
The Outcasts: With the Angels now engaged in in a war with the Daemons the other Outcast groups have become fearful of being banished once more. The Shadows have become even more elusive, and most ignore the activities of the world at large while Halflings and Dwarves attempt to grow closer to the Fae and Humans.

Winter has hit Litharia hard this year, particularly in the northern portions of the continent. Rain and snow has fallen heavily and everything is coated by a thick layer of ice. Starvation is particularly rampant among all creatures in Litharia, the constant humidity and dampness has caused stored foods to rot indoors, and outdoors the lack of available food has led to the starvation of herbivores and plant-eating humanoids, and as they wither away more predators and meat-eating humanoids die as well. Further south, the rains from the north are causing the water levels to raise and the Boil is experiencing an unusually fertile winter.
