Leaked Scout Report Reveals Æsir Reinforcements at Stomps City

A leaked scout report reveals that an Æsir player is currently reinforcing a Stomps city in Pawanallpa, the predominant battleground in the Stomp/Claimers war, with a substantial number of troops. The discovery of Æsir involvement in Stomp defense could be an early sign of the legendary alliance signing on to aid in the extermination of land claims in the Broken Lands.

The scout report was submitted to the Times by Death’s The Honey Badger (who recently changed his name from The Reaper). The Times has redacted out from the scout report troop counts and types, as well as any commander or division names that would reveal troop types:

Kendig is a relatively new member of Æsir, having joined in December of 2014. Little is known about him aside from the fact that his six cities are located in both the High Hills and Pawanallpa, and that he has never been in another alliance other than his current one.

The Times sought clarification from The Honey Badger on the nature of the scout report on Agalloch’s city of Megadeth AKA The Finger. Honey Badger stipulated that the scout report was not conducted ahead of an attack or siege hitting, which indicates that the reinforcement is not likely in response to an inbound operation from Death. This means that the reinforcement is not necessarily indicative of Æsir intending to become involved in a specific battle with the claimers.

That being said, Æsir has maintained a curious diplomatic relationship with Stomp. Both entered into a confederation on June 21st, which was dropped two days later and replaced by a NAP. On the same day, Æsir leadership member G0DsDestroyer put his similarly-named alt GODsDestroyer into Stomp. An early Times poll revealed at that time that the majority of readers did not think that Æsir would enter the war:

The Times reached out to Æsir leadership seeking clarification on why Kendig was reinforcing a Stomp city and whether it signaled that they were joining Stomps in their war effort. Inquiries were not immediately answered, however, the Times will update this story when or if Æsir replies.
