Turn #35, Late Winter of Year 3
A breath of fresh air.

Part 2 of 2

I recruit Seithkonas in Jotunheim, Pythium, and Ashikaga. Another "red" Wizard is recruited in the Black Alps, while another Garnet Priestess is recruited at the Well. I also recruit a Priest in the Rim Mountains, and Scouts in Eribon, Ancyrna, and the Promised Land. New temples are to be built in Bel and the Iron Range. These preparations drain the treasury of 1020 coins.

The Wizard Lekiro begins the ritual Awaken Ivy King, consuming 20 nature gems. The Norna Lit begins the ritual to Revive Bane Lord, which expends all 10 death gems in the treasury. The Skratti Tunne forges another Clam of Pearls, at a cost of 10 water gems. The Enchantress Pladina uses alchemy to convert 4 astral pearls into 2 earth gems, then begins forging a Dwarven Hammer, using all 20 earth gems now in the treasury.

Rod the Firbolg, leading my army's vanguard of 21 healthy Jotun spearmen and a bodyguard of 5 vine ogres, along with 4 priests carrying Sceptres of Authority and with one vine ogre apiece as bodyguards, move from Barra to join my avatar at Man.

My wyrm Jorgun, alone, maintains the seige of the capital of Man for a third month, secure in the knowledge of his supremacy, and that he will soon have the company of a legion of veteran Jotuns.

The ominous, and unexpected, massing of Ulmish forces on my northern border causes a change of plans for my main army and its logistical support. Bove, commanding the rest of my Jotun army, along with Grymis and two priests alter course and move from The Promised Land to Melma. From Melma, they will be positioned to either retake Herghendorf, should Ulm attack, or to head westwards to Man via Van-held mountains and wastelands. Stark, with a half-dozen green Jotuns, moves from Hoburgdorf to rendezvous in Melma with the main army. Tahmar heads back to Pythium.

My five other priests congregating in Barra remain there preaching.
