~ Atlantis has made the King of the Deep named Ctalou its prophet.
~ There was a battle in (212) West Farsen Forest.

As defenders there are 2 barbarian chiefs, 28 barbarians with mauls, and 33 barbarians with great swords. Yikes, that is a lot of barbarians. The battle ends up going very well, though. I lose no units, but one of my ice drakes has acquired 2 wounds. Still, I am quite pleased with the results.

Master Gibur is still employed by Marignon.
Dagan, the Renegade Sage is still employed by Vanheim.
Burelk’s City Guard is now employed by C’tis.
The Farstrikers are now employed by Abysia.
Magnus’s Crossbows are now available, Rolf Magnus commands 20 men for 120 gold.

Pythium now has in (141) 40 Velites, Alae Legionnaires, and a huge Hydra and in (123) has about 10 Alae Legionnaires. Pythium’s province of (136) appears to have no enemy units.

I set the PDs of all provinces up to at least 11 and the PD of (152) up to 21, and (146) to 13.

Arnold is my new sage and is 1F. This turn I recruit another sage. Angerboda will search province (166) for magic sites.

I send my first army off to attack Pythium in the province (141). My 2nd army moves on to attack the next province in the west (216). Erik the Gode and Aurgelmer my new scout move to province (212).

I have Sif the Gygja take the Skull Staff and summon another Bane Lord this turn and Aude forges another Pendant of Luck. I will have my new Bane Lord take a pair of Winged Shoes and hurry south to help in the wars in the swamps.

The rest of my mages will continue to research Enchantment with 57 RPs and will complete Enchantment 5. They continue to research Construction with the remaining 44 RPs.

I notice that Gramner and Gisli are now in the Hall of Fame. Gramner has acquired Lightning Reflexes and Gisli now has Heroic Precision. I also notice that Freke has been in the Hall of Fame for a while and has Heroic Strength and now has a strength of 43. Dang, that would hurt if you got hit by him. I may have to get him a weapon .

Marignon now has 10 Crossbowmen in the province of (143). The Pythium provinces of (136) and (123) appear to be free from military units.

I set the PD of my new province (216) up to 11 and increase the PD of (141) and (146) to 15.

Tredel is my new sage and is 1A. This turn I recruit another sage in (180) and 3 Jotun Spearmen and 1 Jotun Huskarl in (152). Angerboda will move to (152).

I have my first army move from (141) to attack Pythium in (136).

I have my 2nd army move from (216) to attack (205). Erik the Jotun Gode with 2 Spearmen and a Scout also join the fight in (205) from (212). I also have Forsete the Scout move from (146) to (123) to scout into Pythium’s lands.

Wormfriend is my new Bane Lord and he picks up some Winged Shoes and a Pendant of Luck and flies to (180). He will pick up more items in the lab there next turn.

This turn I forge another Wraith Sword and Ring of Regeneration.

The rest of my mages will continue to research Construction with 108 RPs.
