Month 2, Year 2:
2nd, the East Army arrives near Alpha. Alzar meets with King Ericall about defenses, and suggests against sallying out. This is a raid, not an invasion force. You just need to outlast them. When the ice starts melting, they’ll likely pull away.
Alzar uses his items and spells to assemble a large defensive sally, and Madeira and Claransa both help by raining down spells like Meteor Swarm, Fireball, Lightning Bolt, while Alzar kills a few here and there with stuff like Finger of Death and Power Word Kill. At the end of their barrage, they have killed 88 giants.
The giants begin to throw stones at the battlements.
3rd:
The Western Army is met by combined forces from County of Garette, Baronies of Westria, Hopeland, and the Free Plains, and they begin to push back the giant attack there.
Meanwhile, another assault by the wizards drops another 61 giants, and then King Ericall orders a counter attack and more than a thousand of soldiers pour forth. After a few hours of fierce fighting, they push through and win the day, and the giants retreat back to Frosthaven.
4th
The western flank is falling. Alzar teleports over and kills a few giants on their rear to turn them away from their force. The giants have to fight on two fronts. Soon enough, Sandralane and Madeira also teleport to the other two flanks and begin to drop spells of mass destruction or the occasional elemental ally. By the end of the day, the western flank is cleared and the giants here have fled.
The giant raids have ended on the 4th.
Alzar at level 20 –
He has gained a 6th and 9th level spell.
Back to the Barony Stuff:

We had the Holy Liturgy Holiday.
Alzar hires, in Month 2:
20 more heavy cavalry
1 Sheriff
1 Chaplain
The King assesses the performance of his various servants, and determines that Alzar and Claransa were particularly useful, and are to be given more domains.
Alzar has recently found out that there is an elf village in the wooded hex south-west and north-west of his territory, and the last hex unclaimed before you hit the Ljallenvals. So instead, Alzar asks for the island of Bergholm, and is given it:
Bergholm Island –
Although it spreads across via two hexes, it’s really the size of one full hex, and we’ll treat it as such. Heavily mountainous and with very few places to do stuff.
29 Families; 2 resources, 1 mineral, 1 vegetable – Copper mines and berries.
Just one village: Bergholm Villa – 26 families, they are on a river where it meets the Great Bay, and the place is elevated too. Form here they can reach both some copper mine and harvest the numerous berry bushes that grow all over.
We get a message late in Month 2 that King Ericall will be getting married, his bride-to-be will be arriving from Alphatia soon.
