Turn 42
Research in conjuration is completed.
8 blood slaves were captured in Gol Phalas, another 8 in Kolermegor.
3 Vine Ogres were summoned in Kolermegor.
Acashic Record cast on Birman Highs revealed 2 magic sites – Mirrorlake (+2 water gems, +1 air gem) and an Earth Blood Seepage (+2 earth gems).
Some fire gems were found in The Weald, and some troops were cursed when they took some gems away from a witch.
Terminus successfully assassinated a Commander of Ulm in The Two Woods.
My undefended army province of Spire Woods was taken by Pythium.
The Pythium province of Jerib was defended by 20 militias and 15 slingers who were easily dispatched.
Pythium’s province of Storn Woods was defended by 20 militias, 15 slingers, 10 Velites, 6 Principes, 6 Battle Vestals, 5 barbarians and 5 archers, 5 Villain lead by 1 Centurion, 2 Theug Communicants, 1Battle Deacon, 1 Barbarian Chief and 1 Hydra Trainer. While they rolled towards my 8 Illithids, 3 Greater Otherness, 1 Minotaur and 1 fodder my mage managed to enslave 4 of them, slowing them down a bit with the mindbLasts helping, too. When the troops clashed the slingers and archers were killing hurting their own men more than mine. The Greater Otherness cut through the infantry like a hot knife through butter. Right before my Greater Otherness reached the Pythium commanders the Pythium forces routed.
A indie army consisting of 15 militias, 15 thralls, 10 blood slaves and 8 vampires lead by a vampire count attacked Storn Woods next. The vampires attacked and it took some rounds to kill them due to being etheral. Next the thralls were killed by the Greater Otherness without any problems. The count summoned undead 3 times but nothing was able to stop my Greater Otherness. But in the end the number of enemies did take its toll and 1 Greater Otherness was killed.
The PDs in Elkland were overcome without problems.
My two fodder armies in Garillion were met by 10 militias, 5 slingers and 5 barbarians lead by a Centurion and a Battle Deacon. The first volley of my archers routed the militias. Later the archers killed more of my own men than enemies. In the end I lost 6 fodder.
A sneaking enemy was discovered in Old Aran.
My forces in Pythium (2 mages, 1 star spawn priest and Glisas leading 4 Otherness, 3 Illithids, 2 serpent cataphract, 2 Emerlad Lords, 1 Serpent Lord and 10 fodder) met 45 militias, 25 slingers, 20 gladiators, 6 Velites and 1 serpent cataphract lead by 1 Serpent Lord, 1 Emerald Lord, 2 Centurion and the Pythium pretender – a Son of the Sun. My mages casted some enslaves while Glisas jumed right into the slingers after casting its preparation spells. My mages had to cast 6 Paralyse on the pretender before one finally stuck. The Son’s Astral Shield paralysed 5 of my troops, but he was killed fairly fast anyway. The remaining Pythium forces routed but just about 10 were able to escape. 1 serpent cataphract was enslaved. Glisas reach the fourth XP star during this fight.
The Dark Citadell in Pythium will take quite some time to breach due to its 350 defense, but I am not sure if I can assign additional troops to support the siege right now.

My Provinces:
Due to the info about my provinces getting longer and longer I will skip this one, too.
Mainly I reduce taxes by 10% for each 5 points of unrest/raise them again when unrest is going down.
The Golden Adept is 2F, 1E, 2S and will be set to research, another one will be recruited.
I got a 2W, 3S, 1N mage who will research. The Lore Master turned out to be 2A, 1E, 1N who will research.One of each will be recruited again.
3 More Vine Ogres will be summoned for 1 nature gem in Kolermegor.
Acashic Records will be cast for 25 astral gems on Black Forest.
The Clam is given to a star child in C’tis, the Winged Helmet (+1A) to my 3A mage and the Starshine Skullcap (+1S) to a 3S mage who will move to Talito.
The 2 fodder armies from Garillion will move to Storn Woods in order to support the siege at Pythium.
The 2 mage lead armies from Elkland will attack the lightly defended province of Cimri.
The mage lead army from Stron Woods will attack the lightly defended province of Tirannea.
My mage lead army in Jerib will attack Spire Woods which is defended by roughly 30 Pythium gladiators. Glisas will support the attack since it is fairly useless at the siege anyway.
My fodder army in Gol Ryepe will move to Glimmering Fields.
My priest in Giant’s Rest will build a temple.
The Spectre will move to The Two Woods where Terminus will try another assassination.
My mage lead army in Solam will move to Garillion.
The priest in Black Woods will move to Storn Woods to build a temple there.
A Clam of Pearls will be forged for 8 water gems in addition to a Bag of Winds (+1A) for 16 air gems and a Blood Thorn (+1B) for 16 blood slaves and a Starshine Skullcap (+1S) for 8 astral gems.
Since I want to cast a Well of Misery (required 80 death gems, adds death gems each turn) soon I can’t use any death gems for forging right now, but I can’t resist the temptation to cast Tartarian Gate for 10 death gems at least once
