Turn Three
``````````

Syren has completed her research in alteration, and informs me that she can now cast air shield. While not the best of protections, they will ward off any errant javelins from our peLasts. This is good, as the plan to invade salt plain will be carried out this month.

The entire Arcoscephale military, including our new priestess Andromache will carry out the invasion of Salt Plain. I inform Lord Klepohon to wait until Syren has cast her spells before attacking the commanders in the rear. The national smiths have only managed to equip two myrmidons. I will assign one to Lady Andromache and mix the other with the front line Cardaces of the imperial military. Hopefully their battle skills will inspire the under-equipped peLasts and cardaces on the front lines. With the battle plans set, I turn my attention back to the recon reports.

Nanvather brings better news from the mainland. Many of the same tribe of barbarians from the Island of White Oak inhabit the mainland, but in far fewer numbers. He estimates that only twenty warriors reside here. The beginnings of a plan form, as I have no doubt that Syren and Lord Klepohon can rout the small barbarian forces. Unfortunately I know that sending them aff alone has huge risks, but it's an option, one I am glad to have. I send Nanvather west to Florien, with the intentions of having him explore the larger island to the west of it. I do not know who resides there, but I will not stand for having the western flank so open.

I set about training one of our mystics for duty, and indicate to continue the slow production of bronze armors for our myrmidons. As our numbers of skilled warriors far outstrapped our production of armors, I indicate that one of the new myrmidons should be allowed the honor of a pegasus steed, a Wind Rider, the pride of the military. Something must be done about our mation's blacksmiths!
