Turn 6
Early Fall, Year 1

In Ard, a legend was born. The Jode Godzilla Blitz led his small force of giant giants against two hundred local militia and heavy infantry. On the open field the two forces squared off. The giants were not expecting such a large force, and they were outnumbered by more than ten to one. Some of the giants began to panic, but Godzilla Blitz would not be swayed. He pulled off his tunic from beneath his great chain hauberk. The tunic bore the symbol of Rhyvinter. He said a prayer over it, and tied it to the end of a tall spear. He then held the spear with the tunic tied to it high over his head.
“Behold the banner of Jotun! Look upon this banner and let the power of Rhyvinter fill you with courage! Do not fear these men!” he shouted as he waved the banner back and forth.
His men were sparked to action. They charged the line of militia, bellowing war cries as they came. The militia broke and ran, leaving the commanders and few heavy infantry to fight for their lives. It was over when the giants reached them.
After this battle, the name of Godzilla Blitz spread throughout the Jotun lands. His banner would be a symbol for the might and bravery of the Jotunheim.

Treasury: 223
Income: 292 (+32)
Provinces: 7
The Forest of Gila and the province of Ard fell to Jotun. The taxes were lowered to help restore order in the newly captured lands. In Ard, the villagers reported having seen the armies of Man in the neighboring province of Ermithia. Godzilla Blitz quickly sent word to Rhyvinter of this development. Fomiraghist the scout was ordered into the province to gather information. Godzilla Blitz was ordered to return to Jotunheim to gather more forces to face Man.

Dagan, the Mercenary Sage, joined the Jotun cause for a period of three months. He joined Rhyvinter and Jord in researching spells in Jotunheim.

Kingfc22, the Gygja was recruited in Jotunheim. Rhyvinter immediately ordered him and Jord to summon undead troops that Kingfc22 would lead into battle.

The research in Enchantment was completed. Research continued in Conjuration and began in Thaumaturgy.

Farbaute and Visbur moved toward Pholothras, a hot, dry province neighboring the forest of Gila.

Ard and Temigila spent a good amount of gold increasing their defenses. These two provinces bordered the lands of Man, and so would be the first line of defense against them.

Another scout was recruited in Temigila. Two Jotun Spearmen were recruited in Jotunheim.
