Androdameia has been defeated and Pantariste's realm is no more. The Rain Priest of the jungle savages has raced north and invaded our lands, but he has not nearly enough troops and even his flying witch assassins (tlahuelpuchi) are not enough to save him when attacked (assassination is available only to attacker).
However, much as I would like to continue this AAR and demonstrate lichdom in another 15 turns, it is sadly no longer possible. The jump from 2.96 to 3.00 broke savegame compatibility and the fate of Barras the Grand Necromancer (soon to become a lich) must be left to the reader's imagination.
Perhaps Barras will return in another incarnation if I wish to do another Fallen Empire AAR, but unfortunately that must be another time. I hope everyone enjoyed this story while it lasted.
There is time for yet one last teaser, though: When you do get the game and explore things, pay attention and somewhere you may find two names that have appeared here...
