Turn 1
Spring, Year 1

In the early days, the Jotun were led by a powerful Blue Dragon. Years of struggle between the tribes of the giants had ended when Rhyvinter the ancient Blue slew his rivals during a huge battle at The Dagger of Rinheim. With no one to contest his rule, Rhyvinter joined all of the Jotun tribes into a powerful nation. Once his reign was secure, he turned his attention to the lands beyond…


Treasury: 400
Income: 150
Provinces: 1

Initial Forces:
Farbaute the Jotun Herse, commanding 8 Jotun Axemen
Fjollvinter the Jotun Scout
Rhyvinter the Pretender God

I see that the mercenary company The Black Fists are available for 150 gold. At this stage, mercenaries are invaluable to my forces, so I shell out the gold for them.
Since we know nothing about the forces in the lands surrounding Jotunheim, I decide not to attack anything this turn. There are seven provinces adjacent to the capitol, so next turn we should have our pick.

Rhyvinter will research Evocation, so that we can get some good combat spells.
I recruit 1 Jotun Gode, a very powerful priest, with plans to make him Rhyvinter’s prophet. We also recruit 1 Jotun Spearman and 1 Jotun Militia.

I send Fjollvinter to one of the adjacent provinces.
