Concepts of Creation: Ironhawk Suddenly Wins!

In Early Fall the prophet of Atlantis fell in battle with the forces of Caelum. Atlantis, having attacked Caelum for no apparent reason, moved its forces to the south, led by their prophet, and far from their home. The militia of Caelum, moved to action by the threat to their peaceful homes and this insult to their dignity, surrounded the army of the prophet of the false god and slew them. The prophet was slain when, attempting to flee from the losing battle, it entered a home of one of the Caelian residents living near the battlefield. But disaster befell the prophet when it ransacked a magical experiment belonging to the homesteader, which discharged its energies and electrocuted the invader where it stood.

As everyone knows, the prophet speaks the will of its god, and often foretells the future, though the meaning of the prophecies is not always easily understood. This was no exception, as the very next month the false god of Atlantis was slain in battle with the Army of Glorious Overflight. It turned out that the meddling of the Atlantian prophet revealed the key to better controlling the magical energies innate to all Caelians. When the false Atlantian god next ventured into Caelian lands, the Caelian mages were ready. No sooner had the battle began than the false god was barraged by lightning. When the volley was over, the false god lay face down in the dirt, twitching helplessly, unable to move as the battle went on around him. After a few short minutes the defeated Atlantian army fled, uncaring or ignorant of the plight of their so-called god, abandoned to his death on the battlefield behind them.

Can any true nation of honor treat their deity in such a way? Everyone knows the Atlantians do not value life as civilized nations do. But such callousness, we had thought, was even beyond them. We will not again be taken by surprise by the cruelty of the Atlantians.

This is truly a disturbing revealation. It is always a shame when any pretender falls, for it weakens the glory of our standing with the mortals. But for one's own follows to abandon thier leader in such a fashion... it is disgraceful. Let us hope that when the Atlantean priests recall thier god that he takes suitable punishment upon the unfaithful!

Feeling the noose of Pythium forces closing around his position, the bandit Bogus attempted to instigate *yet another* rebellion in the pythium capital. Needless to say, the small band of knights and thier rabble companions were quickly put down. The following month, the army tasked with the destruction of Bogus and his rag-tag band of followers finally managed to corner him in an isolated forest clearing. The battle was short and decisive, with his band providing only the most meager resistance. The majority of them were slaughtered where they stood with only a Gryphon Knight and Troll Mage managing to flee the field. The empire of Pythium still considers these two rebels very dangerous and will provide a reward of 50 talents of gold for any information leading to thier capture.

Today was a good day for all the civilized nations of the world. Bogus's death will send a clear message to bandits everywhere - your actions will not be tolerated!

Well, that's embarrassing. I set myself AI by mistake.

Nothing for it now haha.

Alas for the cause that was! Vanheim bows before Man, and reels in shock as the king abdicates.
I will go AI or wait for a sub, but only this turn, as players wish. Don't anyone work too hard on the sub, cause my position really is hopeless.

Mictlan and Ermor have had some nice battles (especially liked the slave flanking maneuver last season), but it's almost curtains for the zombie-lovers. Anyone willing to make a move against the bloodthirsty green banner should do it now, before they turn their attention elsewhere!

What??? How on earth did you do that?

[Ironhawk]

Wow. Could the players in this game post *less*?? Geez is like tomb, this thread.

It's a fun game, though. I like the 24hr timer. It lets me try to make up for my mistakes without having to wait too long
