[sachmo]

Good to see you over here in the Dominions II forum, UE!

Yes, I was hoping to find ermor early, before they rip the world up too badly. I'll have to keep my priest content high to face them.

Thanks! This one probably won't turn into a story similar to Remorhaz, because I wanted to write an actual AAR and not another novel! Glad you are enjoying it!

As for Remorhaz, you could probably pick the story up now without missing too much. One more enemy down, two to go!

Turn 7
Fall, Year 1

It was the fall of the first year when the picture became clear for Jotunheim. Word spread that the forestfolk of Pangaea were expanding their kingdom in the northeast, and Dershid was the latest province to fall to them. This province was only two removed from Jotun lands. Horvan the scout had witnessed the province of Lettia fall to the forces of Men, forming a buffer between the Jotun and Pangaea, but this would probably not Last for too long. Eventually, Jotun and Pangaea would fight.
When Visbur and Farbaute conquered the province of Inarime, they discovered that it was adjacent to the capitol of Mictlan. Nothing else was known about their lands, but they were definitely a threat to the power of Rhyvinter.
Finally, in the southeast, rumors could be heard everywhere of the advance of the undead hordes of Ermor. This news more than anything else made Rhyvinter uneasy. Ermor was a blight on the land and would have to be destroyed before they grew to powerful, but they were also far away from Jotun lands. Rhyvinter took all of the information given to him by his followers and retreated into his inner sanctum, where he would decide what course of action they would take to confront these new threats.

Treasury: 249
Income: 322 (+32)
Provinces: 8

Research in Conjuration was completed. Research began in Construction and Alteration.

Jord and Kingfc22 both cast Reanimation. Kingfc22 was now in command of 13 Longdead giants and 7 Longdead. He was now a force to be reckoned with.

Ryleth named a Traitor Prince as Prophet. Now we want to kill him!!

Horvan witnessed Man battling the independents in the province of Lettia. Mostly spearmen and some tower guards were seen. If Man didn’t have stronger forces, it would be a pretty easy conquest for the giants.

All of the unrest was quelled in the Farseer Mountains, Ard, and the Forest of Gila. All of their tax rates were returned to 100%.

Visbur and Farbaute recruited about 50 local villagers to guard the newly captured province of Inarime against any possible move by Mictlan. They attacked to province south of Inarime which seemed to be defended by local militia only.

Godzilla Blitz, now reinforced with 4 spearmen, 1 hirdman, and 1 woodsman, attacked into the province of The Second Forest.

Kingfc22 attacked the Forest of Idun.

Rhyvinter moved into the Farseer Mountains. For his magic to be at it’s most effective, a source of Earth gems would have to be uncovered somewhere in Jotun territory, and he was the only mage capable of finding this source.

155 gold was offered to Rexor to convince him and his mercenary Barbarians to fight for Jotun.

That rumor is incorrect. I saw her in a fight Last turn, and she's definitely a Vampire Queen.
