Actually, it's a statement I had planned since Turn One, though it has taken until now to make the time right for its announcement. It was also partly a response to Deva's statement on the proper way to deal with crusades etc.

The AllFather wrote:Nogga the Thu'stin is sent to dispatch the rogue ice titan that is threatening Calais's lands; your soldiers settle around the field of battle, ready to raise spears if need be. Giant and ice titan face each other, and the battle is such that songs will be made out of it: even your warriors watch in awe as the Thu'stin and the ice titan exchange blows powerful enough to pulverize boulders.
Though they appear to be evenly matched at first, as time goes by the ice titan gains the upper hand, tirelessly pounding and evading Nogga's blows, until a particularly violent punch causes the Thu'stin to crumple. As she lays there, waiting for the coup de grace, the ice titan hesitates, then it clenches its icy fist, the sound of cracking ice audible to all around it, and slams Nogga with untold strength. The sound of her neck breaking is louder than an avalanche in the utter stillness that has fallen in the area; but no sooner has her head hit the ground that your soldiers raise spears and, shouting their war cry, launch themselves at the titan to avenge the Thu'stin.
Even shaken by the death of one who appeared to be so skilled, they are fearsome warriors to the bone, and they swarm the ice titan, wounding it repeatedly with their spears, evading its blows skillfully, though not always successfully. As the ice titan begins to be worn out, and your soldiers gather together for the kill, sensing its weakness, it raises its eyes towards the captain of your company - eyes so cold that the coldest glacier would feel like a bonfire in comparison - and suddenly spreads its arms wide.
Following the motion, its body seems to suddenly explode into a shower of sharp ice shards which overwhelm your remaining soldiers, slaying most of them, horribly wounding others, and sparing only a handful. The shards, somehow still controlled by the ice titan's will, gather together not far from the carnage, reconstituting the ice titan, now made of crimson-stained ice.
The surviving Igazi Isiphuzi shout your name in defiance as they launch themselves against the ice titan, knowing they will join their companions in your heaven...

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
