Malgus defeats Tristram, and reverts him and Lyrix back to their original forms, dropping them off on the Isle of Neutrality and setting off to find more Fire Wing Harnesses; Tristram and Lyrix, found by Leanna Luggington, decide to stay on Lincoln's island; most of Chima's tribes accept the Eagles' invitation, and their leaders or representatives go to the Bat embassy atop Mount Cavora to attend the Tribal Summit, with the Scorpion Consuls representing Unichi as a whole, and the Sabertoothes, Icebears, and Rhinos not attending; the Ravens represent the Forgotten as well, and the Lions, Ravens, and Minor Tribes represent the Chima Alliance as a whole, with the Bears not attending; at the Tribal Summit, Leodus reveals that Malgus and the Empire of Balance agreed to search for the rest of the Fire Wing Harnesses, to kickstart a Third Great Illumination; "Erdrik" agrees to help in this restoration of the continent's Elemental Balance, and reveals the existence of the Manta Ray Empire to Chima's tribes, explaining his plan to completely [vibe check] the rays.
In Southernfell, the Forgotten, aided by their new allies the Spiders, launch their Croc Swamp crusade, which is actually a "rescue mission" to extract the remaining crocs (Forgotten volunteers) from between the Wolves and Lions' territories; due to a misunderstanding of the Forgotten's intent, a battle between them and the occupying Wolves and Lions almost occurs; before Spalyx Vance and Lyndis meet in the Croc Swamp, preventing such a battle from happening, Lycan receives word of the Forgotten's "invasion", using that, as well as Scordon's recent war crime of liberating Scorm from the Lions (which Lycan had planned) to oust the Forgotten as "dangerous enemies"; the Tribal Summit goes unexpectedly, as "Erdrik" and Lycan declare war on the Manta Ray Empire and Forgotten, respectively; immensely frustrated at the Lion Regent, "Erdrik" leaves, bringing the meeting to an abrupt close as the other tribe leaders leave in confusion.
In Scorm City, Sirius succeeds in convincing the now amnesiac Scorm that the former king himself was the founder of the Republic, ending Scorpion Tribe infighting at last; Wol’jin does not attend the Tribal Summit, as he had been overthrown by Lobo, who abolishes the Wolf Tribe’s government, as well as their alliance with the Gorillas and Scorpions; in response, the Gorillas and Scorpions meet and eventually ally with the Forgotten, adding them as the new third faction in Unichi to replace the Wolves; Stannis Rax shows himself to the Scorpion Consuls, revealing that the Spider Tribe had already been allied with the Forgotten; the Spider King says that he will aid Unichi in retaking Crystal Crater from the Icebears, in addition to simply dissolving the Spider Tribe into the Forgotten, if the Scorpions give the Spiders shares of Crystal Crater’s mining profits; the Consuls agree.
Fal’qar, after escaping captivity, manipulates a returned and mentally unstable Set-Ra into attacking the Eagles, to distract the Phoenix from his escape; “Erdrik” arrives back from the Tribal Summit in time to defeat the Phoenix forces, and Set-Ra retreats; in the Wastelands, the Stinger Brotherhood finally begins to regroup, searching for Scorponok; before they can find their leader, Fal'qar gets to Scorponok first, "awakening" Zarak.*
Aided by the Ravens and Lions, the Minor Tribes drive the remaining Sabertoothes out of their territory, but not before the sabertoothes steal inland tribes technology, in the form of a pack tracker the Wolves had provided the Minor Tribes with; at the same time, Lycan sends the entire Lion Air Force to bomb Saber Mountain, since the Sabertoothes' southern bases have all fallen, and since Fatalis hadn't attended the Tribal Summit; the Lions don’t succeed in destroying the HQ, since they’re beat back by forces commanded by Saban, who’s returned to his tribe; meanwhile, just as the Forgotten are leaving the swamp with their volunteers, the rest of the Croc Tribe, now led by Sobek, finally returns after being incidentally rescued from Black Fang Mountain by Unichi.
*These events are detailed in my story, which isn't yet completed.
Sobek meets with Lyn and Lobo, and the latter agrees to give the Wolves’ half of the Croc Swamp back to the Crocs in exchange for an alliance.
Set-Ra, back in his right mind, returns to Eagle Spire, apologizes to “Erdrik”, and explains that he’d been usurped by the false Queen Fiona; “Erdrik” agrees to attack the Phoenix Isles and reinstate Set-Ra as the Phoenix King/Emperor, if Set-Ra allies the Phoenix with the Eagles in return; Set-Ra agrees, and convinces Sobek and Lobo to ally the Crocs and Wolves with the Eagles, forming the new alliance Primordium; after “Erdrik” meets with Vamprah, the Vulture Lord agrees to reveal Viona’s identity to the public, claiming truthfully that her takeover of the Phoenix had not been approved by the Vultures; Primordium then attacks the Phoenix Isles, as “Fiona” is reinforced by the Lions, who hope to defeat the Eagle King then and there; during the battle, “Erdrik” [vibe checks] Lycan, seemingly [vibe checks] Lycor, and defeats Viona, but not before the former two unmask him; Viona is recovered and returned to the Vultures by Vamprah, and Set-Ra reclaims his title as King, adding the Phoenix Tribe to Primordium.
At the same time, King Finglor returns with the rest of the Sabertooth royal family, retaking control of the tribe; Unichi, in return for the Forgotten’s allegiance, use the Gorilla Fleet to help their new allies start their expedition of the West Sea; elsewhere on the sea, Lycor, who’d survived the Battle of the Phoenix Isles, ends up on New Bat Island; he meets with Bliston, who reaffirms that the Bats had destroyed the only Manta Ray Empire scout ship that’d ever come near, and the Bat King states that he will side with the Chima Alliance if necessary, to prevent Primordium from starting an unnecessary war with the foreign tribe.
So that's everything that's happened, from the time you'd gone inactive, up to Lycor's coronation and speech.

(OOC: Man, I am STILL how impressed you're all able to keep track of all of this.)
The J Thank you for taking the time to write all that out, and sorry for taking so long to read it; I've been swamped with exams, but that summary is very useful.
Further questions (sorry ) :
1. Which user is now in charge of the Ravens, and where is their RPC currently located?
2. Is Radnar's frozen form still in his old office, or is it locked away somewhere else?

1. Right. The Irons Mountains are about to get busy, then...
While building up the Lions' arsenal and training more troops, Lycor radios the Bear Cave.
Lycor: "Bears, come in. This is King Lycor. Blitz Bridger, Baldemar, anyone?"
Bear Commander: "I'm afraid our old leaders have disappeared, sir. Most of the bears are now following a general who's had the Bear Tribe merge with the Forgotten."
Lycor: "I see... Curse that Wotjek."
Bear Commander: "There are very few of us here who're still loyal to the Chima Alliance. When Blitz Bridger disappeared again, there was chaos in the tribe, and most were eager to unite under a new leader."
Lycor: "Alright. Gather up the Bears still in your territory, shape them into a fighting force, and wait for further orders."

Bear Commander: "Yes sir."
Soon after Lycor made that call, the Primordium forces come into view from the west. Lycor stands on the wall of the Lion City, the red cape now affixed to his Imperial Knight armor billowing in the wind as Lions start hastily sounding the alarms.
Lycor: "So, they have made a move before I was ready to make mine..."
Lycor plugs fire chi, and roars: "Then just try to break through this wall. I'll be waiting... GALVANOR!"

Lycor plugs fire chi, and roars: "Then just try to break through this wall. I'll be waiting... GALVANOR!"
The Primordium armies split up, with the Eagle and Phoenix aircraft flying around and bombarding Lion City on both sides, and the Wolf ground forces going for a full frontal assault. Lycor has the turrets fire into the enemy's airborne forces, while deploying the Lion Air Force and fully-powered Fire Lion tanks to combat the birds and wolves, respectively.

One Fire Eagle Flyer goes through the Lions' air defenses, but not without crashing on the wall, twelve feet away from where Lycor is. The Lion King stands motionless as Galvanor jumps out of the crashing jet, gliding and alighting on the wall. Lycor turns to the gryphon.
Lycor: "I don't know if things were different over 800 years ago, Galvanor, but nowadays, tribe leaders often pay respect to a new Lion King after he's crowned. ...And this is the greeting I get, eh?"
Galvanor: "You've become quite the obstacle, Lycor. I would've preferred if we'd gotten along. You know we're technically distant relatives, my fellow descendant of Lyron?"
Lycor: "Unfortunately for you, Galvanor, I'm already used to fighting relatives."
Lycor draws his Fire Valious from his back, and he and Galvanor lunge at each other, fighting atop the wall as the greater battle continues to be fought all around them.

The battle continues as the Lions' aircraft dogfight the enemy in the skies. Some Eagle craft make it through the defense, and eagles start swarming Mount Cavora, fighting the Bats as they break into their embassy. The Head Ambassador flies into the lobby from his office.
Rex: "What's the meaning of this?! The Bat Tribe isn't involved in these wars on the mainland! You would attack a neutral embassy to gain control of Cavora?!"
The young raven draws his sword and plugs fire chi, his Phoenix armor shining. He blocks a swing from an eagle as the birds fly in.
Rex: "Have you all forgotten about the Tribal Summit held in this very place?! We only wish to defend Chima against the enemy your king has been prattling on about!"
Eagle: "Then either go back to your island, or join Primordium! The Lions' control over Cavora must come to an end!"
Rex back flips to dodge a blast, and flies up mid-flip.
Rex: "This is absolutely ridiculous... Lycan was right. Notify His Majesty!"
Bat: "Already on it!"
A transmission is sent from the Bats' embassy to New Bat Island.

A transmission is sent from the Bats' embassy to New Bat Island.
As the battle rages outside and above the city, with the critically outnumbered Lions locked in combat with the Primordium armies, it is unlikely that anybody would hear a tiny scuffling sound in the Throne Room. Any civilians sheltering in the Temple of Chi would notice, however, when the mighty waterfall that flows into the room turns to solid ice.
The frozen chi-water shatters outwards, sending tiny shards spraying everywhere. Finglor, King of the Sabretooth Tigers, Lord of Sabre Mountain, Commander of the Legions of the North, Shield of Scarfell and the Vengeance of Argennville, strides into the innermost sanctum of the tribe he so detests, dozens of warriors streaming in after him.
Sabretooth warriors, coming from behind the Temple, somehow bypassing every layer of defence to emerge with the heart of the Temple. King Finglor walks directly into the Sacred Pool, its water turning solid and opaque beneath him as he barks orders to his warriors.
"Freeze every Lion in this building! Captain, find their Fire Chi storage depot, and blast it into oblivion! You four, brace those doors! Everyone else, enact the plan!"
Sabretoothes pour out of the Throne Room into the rest of the Temple; some hasten to secure the perimeter, whilst others begin searching for the Lions' Fire Chi stores. Within the main chamber, more Sabretoothes arrive carrying pickaxes and form a ring around the Sacred Pool.
