Heads up: Only ~12 hours left before this turn cycles.

Does anyone have any spare fire gems that they would be willing to trade? I could use some (20? more?) and my production still isn't what I'd like it to be. In trade I can offer astral pearls, as well as water and nature gems at 1 for 1. In a pinch I could probably even scare up other types as well.

I gave my forces orders to take the following sea provinces from Atlantis this turn:

Angry Sea (83)
Sea of Saints (80)

I don't have any particular desire for or claim to those territories. I am seizing them from Atlantis solely to protect my flank from his attacks. If someone else wants either of those provinces, just say the word.

Endomorphious, I moved in to take Sertiwo Land (58), a fort held by Atlantis on the east side of the great north-south river of the southern continent. It occured to me after the fact that I should've given you a heads up about that, so that our forces don't collide if you had designs on that same province. You've had a longer and harder fight with Atlantis than I have, so I think that gives you the greater claim on any contested Atlantis territory on which you and I are descending. If you want that province (58) you are welcome to it, just let me know.

Kailasa can report good success in our battles with Atlantis thus far. Barrels of Air are a great boon, but so far we have gotten by supplying our Yaksha with Sea King's Goblets.

How does everyone else fare? How goes the war between C'Tis and Atlantis? Tir na n'Og? Atlantis loves doing coastal raids, doesn't he? I'm sending some sacred troops into his underwater lair to see how he likes it.

How goes Caelum's war with Abysia? Mauxe, let me know if you want me to drop a thug in on one of his provinces. With a turn's notice I should be able to kit a thug out for anti-Abysia operations if you need a hand, but it looks like Abysia is on the ropes.
