The leaderless nation of giants is consumed from all sides as the balance of power in the east shifts. Our priests have seen the likely future, and a dark day is upon us as the T'ien Ch'i juggernaught rolls inexorably towards ascension. Our envoys traveled forth to see if it there was any chance of stopping them, or if it was already too late. The Caelum bootlickers have declared their own idol a false pretender god and subjugate themselves to their puppet master, screaming for the ascension of the celestial emporer. Sending our envoy’s head back to us followed by an invasion force, they have attempted to seal the fate of the world by keeping us occupied long enough that the matter is settled without our input.

Our prophet has seen a possible answer however, in the spilling entrails of Angerboda. The bloodthirsty giants embodied the petty squabbling which has kept the east stagnated while T’ien Ch’i has consolidated the western power. With the passing of the giants there is a slim chance that the remaining eastern powers can unite and mount a campaign against the imperial overlords before it is too late. With the godless Caelumites throwing their people into subjugation our chances are slim, and it may already be too late, but shall we go out without a fight? Who is willing to bend their sword arms, and spill their blood that we may live as free men? The armies of the abyss march under my banner, and I throw my lot with Atlantis against the T’ien Ch’i behemoth and their flighty sidekick. If I fail, the world as we know it ends as does the rule of all of us. Do any stand up with me?

Brave speach King of Demons.

Should I consider myself at war with you and Antlantis?
