The cycle is good one. You do not make more Prydymar this cycle, but instead focus on the conflict in the south. In the Growth Season, you continue on the stone wall around Avawyr with the foundation of the wall being done and the only matter remaining being building it up to a respectable height, so it will keep out hostile warriors.

Otherwise, you let Bronwyn, Terwyn and Vardyn handle the affairs of the village as you focus your attention on the fighting with Sangere in the southern lands.

Rallying up the Cath Wyrs of Avawyr, you head south to assist Seryn with Sangerish raiders when they come in the Sun Season. Your brother has a similar idea as when you arrive in Bedywn with about a hundred Cath Wyrs, all two hundred of Evatine's Silver Tips show up as well.

As for Seryn, she has been preparing as she has been turning more of her Cath Wyrs into Lyltymar and continued work on the wooden wall around Bedywn, making noteworthy progress as the southern side of the village is now protected with if the north, west and east flanks are still exposed.

When the Growth Season ends and the Sangerish warriors come at the start of the Sun Season, Seryn personally takes the field, leading the entirety of the Lyltymar and the Cath Wyrs at Bedywn against the enemy with Cadyl and Wyrn assisting her along with her two Cath Wyr leaders, Merfyn and Cerwyn.

You stay back at Bedywn with the Silver Tips, ready to send the village should any of the Sangerish should make it through Seryn's warriors.

Thankfully, your worries go unfounded as Seryn is the Goddess of War and while the Sangerish outnumber her forces, eight hundred mortal warriors are no match for close to five hundred Cath Wyrs even if you did not take Seryn herself into the equation.

Seryn picks off the various Sangerish warbands one by one as since each one numbers no more than a hundred at most whilst she brings at least two hundred Cath Wyrs against each one.

Despite what you would have expected, Seryn does not kill all of the Sangerish and instead only a very few of them die as Seryn takes just shy of eight hundred prisoners.

What to do with them is of much debate. So many warriors are troublesome so a decision needs to be make sooner rather than latter, but what decision should be chosen?

You cannot just let them go as they will just come back next Sun Season. While the option to kill them in cold blood and be done with the matter is there, Seryn vigorously argues that would be a waste. Your daughter claims that if they are to die, then then some good should be done in the process and proposal sacrificing them to either Ascend the rest of her sisters or to strengthen your existing spirits further.

The other option is to send them up to Bedynn and Bedygan to repopulate Seryn's northern villages. Another eight hundred bodies would be very helpful to increasing the numbers including potentially allowing people to live in Bedygan once again.

Seryn personally argues for sacrificing them to strengthen your family, arguing that doing so will help establish local dominance even further and claiming that while she can handle having the prisoners added to her villages, she would rather not have the hassle.

Evatine is neutral on the matter, not seeing any good options available and this being a matter of picking the least bad option. Bronwyn is the opposite, viewing either option as a decent solution and willing to support whichever one is chosen.

As for you personally, you are against killing the prisoners, but that might be your personal distaste for death of people. After all, the alternative option is not going to be causing any problems for you so perhaps you are unfairly biased in the situation.

At least Cadyl has proven himself in the fighting this cycle. Seryn made sure to include her brother in every fight against the Sangerish this cycle and your son learning both how to personally fight, but also how to lead and command others as he watches Seryn direct the Cath Wyrs into battle and during the campaign.

The rest of cycle year goes good as well. The creation of more arts and crafts continues in Avawyr under Gwyn and Bronwyn with a focus on making containers for this cycle's bountiful harvest. Meanwhile your grandson, Myrlin has himself to be a talent Prydymar, able to replicate your current abilities only with a more efficient usage of energy as while he has inherited some spiritual nature from his parents, Myrlin has no where near your output and reserves of energy.

Bronwyn does make a visit to Prylake with some Avawyrish traders, deciding to meet Isorine in person. The two of them hit off great, both happy to have another female spirit to speak with as a friend and equal. And like with most things which make your wife happy, the news of Bronwyn making a new friend pleases you as well.

As for Isorine and Prylakish have been up to, the lake spirit herself has been making more Dywrymar while the Prylakish villagers have been continuing to fish as they always done whilst continuing the trading with the Avawyrish and the Evalonish that Bronwyn and Evatine have gotten them to do.

In Evalon, Evatine shifts his usual routine up a bit by having the Myrymar make iron tools instead of iron spears while he himself splits his attentions between forging more iron tools as usual, but also making some iron spears since his Myrymar are not making anymore.

Speaking of iron tools and iron spears, Evatine has made enough that by the end of the cycle that there are enough iron tools for every villager in Evalon while your brother has over a hundred iron spears left in storage even after assigning one to every Silver Tip.

Perhaps you should inquire into getting some iron tools and spears for Avawyr?
