Turn #33, Early Winter of Year 3
I spit at thee.
Part 2 of 2
I recruit another a
Priest and 2
Jotun spearmen in Ashikaga, and a
Seithkona and 6
Jotun spearmen in Pythium. Temples are to be built in Barra, Ancyrna, and Zenthra. These preparations drain the treasury of 980 coins.
Having elminated the unrest in the Rim Mountains, I raise taxes there back to normal.
The Norna Rimdriva prepares to invoke the ritual of Acashic Record upon the province of Barra, for which I allot 25 of the astral pearls in the treasury. The Skratti Tunne forges another
Clam of Pearls, at a cost of 10 water gems. Four of my Seithkona forge
Endless Bags
of Wines, expending all 20 of my nature gems.
(I will need plenty of supplies so that my troops do not starve as they pass through the mountains south of Man.)
Tahmar heads back to Pythium. The commander Stark, with 10 assorted Jotuns and 4 vine ogres, moves from Ancyrna to Ashikaga, while commander Theag returns to Jotunheim.
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, head westwards from Ashikaga to The Promised Land, the first step on their 3-month march to the seige at Man. Bove remains in Ashikaga with the rest of my Jotun army, to bask another month in the
Gift of Health within a province where the faith is moderately strong. Grymis remains as well, preaching, to further raise the strength of the faith.
My wyrm Jorgun will single-handedly maintain the seige of the capital of Man.
