After years of searching and research tan ancient ulmish prophesy has finally been restored!

The forge of the ancients has been discovered, at great cost, but now the forge priests of ulm will truly be able to forge as their ancestors once did.

In other news, Utgard has begun minor attacks on ulmish positions in Midgard. Whether this is the beginning of a larger war, of just squabbling over soon to be conquered lands remains to be seen.

Also the fortresses of Pythium are fast falling to invading ulmish armies with a massive vanguard of freaks and various deformed monstrosities. Many of these monsters are indeed poison immune, so even while the Pythian capitol lies in ulmish hands, and thus, no more hydae can be spwaned, the mages of pythium still seem to enjoy spewing all sort of foul vapors.

Our scouts are also in position to watch the end of Atlants, and or C'tis, certainly once our forces have pushed aside the remains of Pythium these two nations will begin to draw our attention once again, even as we are engaged in a tedious and resource draining war with Midgard.
