Turn 41
Pythium declared war this turn.
4 blood slaves were captured in Gol Phalas, another 7 in Kolermegor and 1 in Gol Ryepe.
3 Vine Ogres were summoned in Kolermegor in addition to the Bane Lord.
Acashic Record cast on Moss Woods revealed 1 magic site – Thunder Oak (+1 air gem).
50 additional taxes were raised in Temiglia in addition to reducing the unrest by 20.
Solam was flloded by rain and 25% of the population died.
My armies in Giant’s Rest are starving and I will switch them for the armies in Bolfagon.
The 8 trogs in Namor were easily defeated, but Man wanted its province back, too, attacking with 25 light cavalery, 10 Cu Shide, 6 spearmen and 2 Daoine Shide lead by 1 Castellan and 1 Shide Champion. Gladly the arrows failed to do serious harm and the charging Cu Shide were dispatched first, some due to enslaves. Meanwhile my centaurs charged the archers and routed them. The remaining infantry soon followed leaving just the Champion on the battlefield taking death before dishonor
2 of my centaurs died.
Pythium attacked in Spire Woods with 15 Triarius, 5 Principes lead by a serpent lord and a theurg communicant. The battle looked fairly bleak with 3 sea trolls, 2 trogs, 1 Nifel Giant and 10 fodder being killed before the 4 Otherness were able to turn the tide. In the end all but 3 Triarius were killed.
The other Pythium attack took place in Old Forest. The Pythium forces consisted of 10 Alae Legionnaires, 5 militas, 3 serpent cataphracts and 1 hydra hatchling being lead by 1 Serpent Lord. After 1 serpent cataphract and the hydra hatchling were enslaved the Pythium forces routed, after this another serpent cataphract and the Serpent Lord were enslaved. For some reason my 5 knights stayed right next to the unmoving hydra and were killed by the poison

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.
Ah, my 3B mage is back, mistakenly I used him to cast Acashic Record
he will be moved to Tiash now.
The Golden Adept is 2F, 3S (argh, I need it the other way around...) and will be set to research, another one will be recruited.
I got a 1W, 3S, 2D mage who be moved to Gol Phalas to summon some death troops there. The Lore Master turned out to be 1A, 1W, 1S, 1N who will research.One of each will be recruited again.

The Pythium province of Storn Woods is defended by about 20 troops and will be attacked by my mage lead army from Black Forest while the priest will build a temple.
Pythium is defended by roughly 30 troops including the pretender – a Son of the Sun – and will be attacked from Old Woods and Spire Woods by 2 mages, 1 star spawn priest and Glisas to provide additional firepower since my troops consist of just 4 Otherness, 3 Illithids and about 10 assorted enslaved units

The priest in Glimmering Fields will start to preach while the fortress is still under construction.

Atlanasha is still feebleminded, is it possible that Gift of Health will not word underwater or have I been just unlucky till now ?
