《The Dark Times》Article 33 - War Report 5 - The Slow Advance - 28th of February

Both sides seem to be moving quite cautiously considering that this is new and there hasn't been one for nearly a century. Today we'll talk about the little advances each side have made, with one side definitely coming out stronger.

In London yesterday the vampire cleared out a warehouse full of Werewolves who upon being attacked retreat out of the London city, regrouping with a clan just outside, where they found out that they had lost half of the original 200 strong clans. At the same time, the London vampire houses sincerely focused on clearing out werewolves within London to mixed results. Since they can't attack every werewolf, they see they're required to double-check with the ADI or another Council body to check if they work with them. Which has the unintended consequences of notifying targeted werewolves, allowing them to escape, the main winners in this were that 100 werewolf clans and a few individuals that are currently moving around the Capital under the pretext of working with the ADI or Council?

I can confirm that there are plenty of Werewolves within the city that are affiliated with the ADI or Government. It's an advantage I can see werewolves using to full effect. Not that the Werewolves that are working, aren't causing problems with harassment, bullying or reported fights that have broken out.

So with the Vampire Houses treading carefully within the Capital the Werewolves in the countryside don't have this issue and are running rings around vampires. The most substantial gains come from Wales where we see the most advanced with the Welsh Clans tearing apart Swansea with efficiency and brutal savagery. Any other vampire that may meet with a fate worse than death.

Leaving the only stronghold in Wales hold up in Cardiff and with the Main house having been destroyed and having them retreat into one house were they've pour all strength while they're being besieged on all sides as they surround the building seem to intend to starve them out.

The Welsh Clans also release a rather cold message to any vampires who'd dare think of reinforcing the Cardiff houses. "As the matriarch of a middle-class clan in Wales. I've been put at the head of this collision force not because I have the largest clan but because I swore on my blood that'll eradiate every vampire I get my hands on for price for taking my son is dead. No matter who or what you send, it'll be rip and torn apart no matter if it's a dragon or god. Anything in my way will be exterminated!"

In my opinion, this one scorned Mother, best avoid at all costs, the message seems to have done its job as the rest of the countries vampires seem to be torn about sending any help as we've seen no movement.

As I mentioned earlier, with who seems to be coming out aggressively is definitely the werewolves as they've almost cleared out an entire country. However, much like the vampires, the Werewolves in many other countries seem to be hesitating on setting a frontal assault and without something pushing them, I can't see much in the way of gaining territory.

Maybe we've overestimated the severity of this conflict. Perhaps over the last century, these two species might have settled any hatred… not likely, but it could be put damping on the savagery that we here at Dark times expected. The only way for us to truly find out is to egg them on from the sidelines and see for ourselves.
