I not sure how soon I will be able to exploit that site however, as it will take a substantial amount of 

gold to get it up and running.

W ith my forces reformed I move out to the border with 80 vampires and 20 devils expecting to

encounter another attack wave from Pythium.

The only forging done this month is the creation of 2 additional lightless lanterns.

I continue to have my vampire lords create more vampires and collect 6 bonus earth gems this

month. My researchers complete the eighth circle of blood magic.

Using vampires as my main force is extremely effective within my own dominion, however they 

become far less usefull outside of that, therefore I need to make an effort to push my dominion

against that of Uriel. W ith this in mind I personally forge a second jade knife this month and make

arrangements to solidify my presence in Ephesibor.

In the north I notice another hydra group approaching and detail my devil group to handle it, while I 

order another skull staff and chainmail of displacement forged, in addition to a new item, a set of 

boots of youth.

These boots will allow me to start recruiting the aged warlocks to further add to the magical power I 

have at hand.

Turn 44 Pushing forward 

My researchers complete the sixth circle of evocation magic while I manage to distill 9 gems of water 

 from my dominion. Calling upon the power of blood my prophet summons a legion of imps, that 

construct a keep in Ephesibor in three red seconds.

Site searching reveals a single minor site this month.

This time a decent strength group of devils makes short work of the hydrae.

W hile I am still unwilling to push the vampires outside my dominion on the front lines, I instead send 

out orders for a smaller group of vampires and devils to strike the mountain pass to the north.

 A lot of forging is performed this month, another skull staff and chainmail of displacement for my 

vampire lords as well as another of each of boots of the messenger, boots of youth and crystal shield 

are completed for general use. To round it out, I am also forging 3 amulets of anti magic, 2 of which

are to be sent to Sephorin.

In addition to the warlocks, the boots of youth also allow me to start recruiting anathemant dragons,which while generally not as usefull as warlocks have powerfull niche roles as casters of fire magic

and are the most powerfull priests found amongst the tainted.

Turn 45 - Yoiks and away 

The false god of the bull eishu has been defeated by CTis and Pythium in the west while I gather 9

death gems and 3 earth gems from my dominion.

The battle in the northern mountain pass is easily won by my devils and one magical site is liberated 

 from Uriels grasp.

One of my scouts notices a lone commander in the northern forest behind Pythiums line, the chance

of ambushing a lone mage or preventing a fortress build is worth risking ordering my devil group on a

deep raid.

My forging this month concentrates on items to boost the power of my mages, including a flame

helmet, skull of fire and water bracelet; I also order another amulet of luck constructed.

Turn 46 - Paydirt 

The god of Eriu has been defeated by Pangaea and Mictlan while my researchers complete the

seventh circle of evocation. Meanwhile my raid behind enemy lines yields a windfall.

The control of the blood rock is a critical find, as I have already dedicated a large portion of my 

magical power to the pursuit of blood magic. Gaining permanent control of this site is now my main

goal in the war. However, if I try to hold it now, I am likely to overextend and tip my hand. So, for the

time being, I pull my devils back and prepare for a better coordinated offensive.

Forging this month consists of another jade knife and boots of the messenger, as well as an amulet of 

luck and 2 more amulets of antimagic.

Turn 47 - Pythium deploys a new weapon

My researchers complete the seventh circle of construction and I distill 16 death gems from my 

dominion.

 As expected Pythium has deployed a powerfull asset to recapture the blood rock, while using a lesser 

angel called a harbringer is not surprising, I am concerned about one of the items it is using.

The presence of The Aegis confirms that Pythium has already researched the eighth circle of 

construction and started manufacturing artifacts.

I redeploy my forces defensively this month and perform multiple mind hunts on Dheem hoping to

catch Uriel off guard with a capability I have had for a while, but not previously used.

Forging for this month includes another amulet of luck and amulet of antimagic as well as a suit of 

rainbow armour.
