Story time? Story time!
So here is a fun little story from back when Niefelheim first attacked me: His first army, which appeared to simply be leftovers of an expansion army, pushed into the core of my realm quickly until some PD landed a lucky hit on its commander, leaving the rather valuable units flatfooted and about to be attacked at the same time my responding expansion army was returning and about to cut off the path it had taken in. The only other Niefelheim force nearby was his lone prophet, a potent giant alone, who had a few options, such as clearing out an annoying indie province to open a retreat path or attempting to solo my one army moving to cut them off. What I didn't count on, and what happened, was that his movement was sufficient to join the stranded troops instead. Alas, I had a brand new and quite potent army converging on those troops. Niefelheim lost the battle, but it is worth nothing that the prophet himself did manage to retreat.... except for the minor detail that the only retreat path had gotten cut off, thus earning him a little cross next to his name on the hall of fame.
In completely unrelated news, Vanheim's Hall of Famer Höder has just earned a little cross next to his name.
Oh, as for actual story events, I did have one earlier, something about some blood ritual in my lands, had to go patrol and kill a blood mage. I could have helped him out, but it occurred just a bit before I started delving into blood magic.
