MP: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!

[Gregstrom]

Introductions 1, Ch. 1

1. And the LORD Hubert spake wihin the dreams of Meshulam, a Kohen in His service, saying "Go south, and prepare the lands there for My coming in Glory".
2. So Meshulam made ready to journey south, and in His Mercy there were given unto Meshulam 4 mighty Children of Sheshai, for to protect him from those who opposed the LORD Hubert. And with Hubert's Blessing upon them, few indeed could withstand their righteous rage.
3. Many months did Meshulam journey, and many were those who resisted the Word of Hubert and were corrected in their ways. At last Meshulam came to the heathen land of Dunmere, and set about preaching the Word of Hubert. But something was amiss.
4. The people of Dunmere were mourning their dead, as though a plague had come. So Meshulam approached a widow, saying "Woman, wherefore art thy people weeping?" And the woman replied "Priest, we weep because our husbands and fathers are dead defending their land, and we have no priest to bury them."
5. Seeing their plight, Meshulam spake the Rites for the Dead over the bodies, and thus they could be buried to join their ancestors in purity, as was right and proper.
6. Meshulam journeyed onwards, heading ever South and West, and passing a field he saw a strange sight. It was like unto a group of the small men of these lands, but all were dressed alike in iron armour, and all carried shields as tall as they were. They wore red, and the points of their spears and javelins were as a bed of reeds, all swaying in unison.
7. Upon seeing the great stature of the four Children of Sheshai, the Red Men were consumed by fear and rage, and ignoring the words of their commanders they attacked. Their javelins fell like rain upon the Children of Sheshai, but their armour was mightily made and the Red Men's spearpoints were as no more than the thorns of brambles to them. With Hubert's blessing, the valiant soldiers of Ashdod fell upon the Red Men and put them to flight.

Hmm, I' wondering what the victory points are for and how they are gained?
In my temple it says that I have 5 of them.

I am guessing that you took a starting Dominion of 5. You secured 1 of the VP's, but they are superfluous, for reason they just always appear, but they are not Victory Conditions. Anyway, that is just informing you that you are spreading Dominion at a rate of 5 (or 50% chance) through your holding of (a) Victory Point(s).


(EDIT - The provinces with the golden crown in them, are the VPs.)

People of the world, nobles and commoners alike!
Heed the words of Glaah, Prophet of the Coming God.
He has assembled the messengers and told us to make haste, to travel land and shores alike to the kingdoms near and far for what he knows is of dire consequence.

In his citadel Orz of R'lyeh waits dreaming of unleashing his nightmares unto the world, dreaming to kill or enslave all that is sentient.
But maybe you will not understand so he instructed us to tell you of the tragic fate of the Atlanteans. Many know that An S'horot travelled the seas to make his coming known.
And there were many that did not know of him and when they heard the rumors of him aproaching they would take their knifes and spears and block his path. But when they saw him in his full glory they dared not to strike at him and they threw down the spears and attoned for their sins.
Yet An'Shorot was troubled still, for he had another reason for his journeys. Know that the life of the Atlanteans are long, and they do not forget easily. And many still remember friends and relatives that had been lost when the Basalt City was shattered.
An S'horot searched for them but never even found one.
So he made his will known to Glaath and Glaath took some guards with him and travelled north. And finally Glaath found some shamblers, but the shamblers had not heard of the coming of god and they opposed him. He was able to drive them away, but the leader of his bodyguard was struck down and the soldiers refused to move on. And while he had to wait amidst the shamblers of the north he instructed them in the true faith. It was then when he heard the rumors that the shamblers who would swim north would often not be seen again. And so he snuk to the borders and spotted a large army composed of strange tentakled beasts and a large host of shamblers.
Yet they could not no longer be called shamblers for their bodies had been deformed and their minds destroyed.
Glaath returned and ordered the shamblers to prepare for war and he prayed to An S'horot so that he would know what Glaath had uncovered.
Know that An S'horot will wage war against the Starspawn of R'lyeh to revenge the attrocities done unto his people.

Should R'lyeh send messengers asking for aid do not listen for they have strange powers of manipulation.
Do not be so foolish as to help them for they are strangers to this world and hold no love for it. Should R'lyeh survive and awaken to its full power you would be doomed as well as we.
