The Storm Lords and White Fang had a bad time militarily in 998YK — they have the highest casualties, and lost all their major battles. So despite being the only empires that made an alliance, they did not manage to turn that into a victory. They missed their chance to get one at Threnal due to bad scouting rolls.

But, they did manage to defend their borders. The White Fang lost Threnal but they kept everything else (and they gained a city during the winter, so their revenue is the same overall); and the Storm Lords have gained several villages from the White Fang and Sulatar.

The Sulatar won the battle at Cinderfall, but they are losing the war. Their empire and army are shrinking. Having lost their foothold in the north, it will be hard to expand there.

The Hammerhead Clan are still in the lead, and more clearly than they were at the start of the year. Taking out the Sulatar holdings in the north removes a threat, and may free them to do more scouting next year.
