The southern battles

[B0sh1]

So, in the background, there is the fact that Kenebres is the breaching point where the demonic hordes flooded south. Even though this kind of sits in the background, has the specifics of this come up in any other GM's games where the players want to know some more details? The Mendevian capital lies south and my assumption is that Galfrey and company as well as any support for Drezen come from the south. Do you suppose the southern battlegrounds are currently localized to a SE sweep towards Nerosyan and Egede by way of the Estrovian Forest? I've gone through the 1st 5 books pretty casually, but I don't recall any specifics mentioned, probably since it isn't paramount to the current adventure.

I don't think there was a general push through Kenabres per se, it was more of a general attack along the entire Mendev/Ustalav/Worldwound front.

The Pathfinder Society Season 5 special (Siege of the Diamond City) covers the events that occur in Nerosyan after the Kenabres wardstone is cracked. I don't think the PDF will be available until this August (unless you happened to GM it at last year's GenCon/PaizoCon) but it's got a lot of useful backstory and a full gazetteer article on Nerosyan.

The precise timing is unclear (I need to re-read my copy) but I read it as the Kenabres wardstone gets cracked by the Storm King, followed by a general assault all along the line. Nerosyan itself is strongly attacked, but the attack is pushed back by the Mendevian military (including Queen Galfrey, who leads the charge against the demons outside the city) and the Pathfinder Society. At the end of the scenario, the last boxed text has Queen Galfrey note that she's departing for Kenabres to survey the damage there.

Yeah I am not privy to any of that, I don't do organized play at all.
