Turn 63
Another Devata has answered my call: Devarama. My armies truly will be unstoppable. I will outfit him and send him to the front as soon as possible.
One of my Markatas (Amoghavarsa) witnessed a battle between T'ien Ch'i and Vanheim. It would seem that T'ien Ch'i has enlisted the services of The Whispering Legion, a notorious mercenary group of otherworldly beings.
Hansanadini moved her small force of Yavanas on the frontier into enemy territory, and encountered some resistance - it would seem that the local population organised some kind of militia to resist her advance. Nonetheless she took the province, and found two Water Bracelets on the wrists of an enemy mage. These are always helpful for Yakshinis such as Hansanadini, although the effects do not stack, so only one is really useful.
Balastha the Devata is moving into enemy territory, backed up by Bemra the Yakshini, and Bhadrayu and Avilasa the Yakshas, and 90 Yavanas. I have given him instructions to perform the incantation to call Celestial Music - we will see which of our troops it affects, and how much (since the water 9 blessing already gives partial quickness). His destination is a T'ien Ch'i fort which is being besieged by Vanheim. Looks like the besieging army is 260 strong, but by all accounts including a lot of militia and serf warriors, as well as heavy infantry and presumably Hirdmen and Huskarls.
In other news I finally found a wizard able to cast Augury, an incantation for finding sites of fire magic.
