Chapter Four of the Raiaera FQ begins at midnight, 5th October, 2009 and is provisionally slated to last until 5th January, 2010. Note that, as with the Salvar FQ Heart of War, extensions will be considered for threads in progress that have shown both activity and promise, but please don't count on these to accomplish your objectives!

During the course of the FQ, a fortnightly update will be made to the theatre of war, detailed in The Tides of War. As the Spring of Retribution Dawning plays host to some of the bloodiest battles ever fought upon Althanas, new missions and rewards will become available on the mission board. Events will unfold that drastically alter the face of Raiaera as we know it, and Whispers on the Wind will carry tales of courage and calamity to even the furthest reaches of the realm.

In the meantime, this thread will be used to keep you, the participants in this epic struggle, informed of what is happening in this wartorn land. If you're writing a thread influencing the course of the war, expect it to be mentioned here! Be the first to know of what's going on in the various battlefields, or be the first to spy an opportunity to manipulate things to your own ends...

Finally if you have any questions, any whatsoever, feel free to ask in the Q&A thread!
