The past few weeks have seen a grueling fight between Szofrit and the Starcalled. As the holidays approached, the defenders' numbers dwindled and it became increasingly challenging to fend off the relentless Dragonship enemies. With players constantly logging in and out and the number of them burnt out while defending nearly around the clock, it was difficult for the Chief Strategist, Accelerator, to make the most of the Starcalled's power. The best they could hope for was a stalemate.
To break the deadlock, Accelerator devised a plan. He assembled a team led by Childress and the Whistles, who had knowledge of the former capital. Their goal was to advance stealthily while the palace defenders increased their aggression, pushing into Szofrit's territory before falling back with the intention of taking the enemy's focus off of the stealthy pushers. For the Forward team, progress had to be slow and deliberate, as they were entering the enemy's stronghold. The team planned to utilize any available advantage, such as assassinating enemies and securing strategic locations, all the while occupying abandoned buildings. Everything was for the explicit purpose of establishing a safer route to the heart of Dragonhead. The closer they could get, the better their chances of success.

When the first leyline shot up into the winter sky, the UI Noise caused a complete shutdown of communication between the starcalled, making it difficult for them to relay information back to Accelerator. This, combined with the debilitating effects of keeping their UI enabled, resulted in communication being cut off between the frontline, Camp Hope, and beyond.
To maintain some semblance of order, Accelerator utilized the services of speedy players as messengers, who served as his eyes, ears, and mouth, all to coordinate the efforts of the frontline despite the immense challenges.
Upon receiving news that Szofrit was launching an attack on both Camp Hope and Finweald, Accelerator seized the opportunity presented by the enemy's divided attention and pushed the Forward team further towards the heart of Dragonhead. Once they were close enough, he planned to launch a full-scale counter-attack against the leader of the Dragonship.
You are the way forward, you use every piece of knowledge and expertise available to you to push further into the enemy's territory, paving the way for the counter-attack against the dragon that had scarred Astorea and its people. Stick with your team and push aggressively, but methodically. Guide your team, feed the hungry, secure strategic locations, fight, heal, assassinate, hide, do anything to go forward. Inch by inch if you must.
Know that once you are at the frontline, there is no coming back. Go forward and when the opportunity presents itself, defeat the enemy or you will be assimilated.
