I got one province quite easily and the next one was empty. I saw a third one with little defense and went there. The battle was costly but I won. And then Hinnom came in
So Hinnom now controls province 29 (named Special Monsters btw).
I'm going to get conjuration 2 soon, and summoning demons of heavenly rivers (conj3) is my first goal. I also have a lot of fire gems thanks to my fever fetish, so if you need fire gems to forge something, I've got plenty, but I'm using some of them to alchemise to make for the lack of gold.
