So how is our army going while gearing up to take on Nevassa?
We're worldbuilding.
Daein is a bit of a mess. An icy hellhole where the people focus on how militarily impressive they can be? Yeah, Daein was Faerghus all along. Honestly, Daein is still probably the better place to live.
Daein's army looks huge to the Crimeans, and is also well trained because of said military culture.
It helps we only have to fight a few at a time. Good thing we don't have to fight them all at once or anything! Slides Maniac Mode under the bed.

Today's Supports:
A bit of a summary before we move on here...
The territory that is Serenes is highlighted. When you consider how the mountains north and west of Serenes are unlikely to be used by Begnion, Begnion without Serenes seems a lot smaller.
It's definitely sorrow made real.
Well done, Empress.
You can't just forgive and forget about a genocide.
The apology is accepted because the alternative is an eternal hatred between heron and Begnion. Which, while warranted, is still pretty unhealthy.
One important thing to note is that Reyson, Leanne and Lorazieh don't move back in yet.
Here's Ike done up in his Lord attire for one of these.
General Ike! I don't know any suitable army cheers.
Time for winter as we head to Daein.
That. She. Does.
