I have a question to ask everyone:
What do you think Teknall looks like?
I've never pictured him as some really big, bearded, masculine hulk. More of the clever engineer than brawny blacksmith type. After all, the playground bully Logos scares him.

Bio
Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!
I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.

The ogre expansion into the Hain confederation was happening during and before the Realta attack. Not that it matters too much; the Realta invasion didn't impact the ogres much, it's just that whenever the ogres inevitably interact with nearby civilizations a few years down the line, those civilizations will have recovered somewhat from the Realta and the ogres will have had time to consolidate their holdings and begin looking for more.
That timestamp that you have for the beginning of the ogres' southwards expansion is probably closer to when Dargok's expedition tried to cross the Ironhearts and fought the battle against the organized urtelem and the sculptor.
I had envisioned Kyre's death having happened right around there, but it's odd for there to be such a large gap between that and him visiting the Celestial Citadel. Even by divine standards four years is a long time to do nothing, and I had imagined all the events concerning Xos on Galbar would happen within half a year. That'd be starting with him killing Kyre and ending with the inevitable confrontation between him and the trifecta that's plotting against him.
Edit: Oh, and Aihtiraq appears before all of this because he shows up in Shaqmar's story which entirely predates the Realta invasion. Though you did just say "rumors of Aihtiraq spread", so admittedly there's some leeway between the time of his actual appearance and his existence being common known among the Hain.

The Iceborn
B) Improve Military Technology
The Iceborn were many things: hardened sailors, master shipbuilders, and formidable warriors. They were not philosophers, and this sentiment was reflected in Sigdar who chose not to dwell too long on thinking about what to do with the flame. Father Frost was the more mysterious of the Iceborn's two patron deities; that god worked in strange and subtle ways, but in none of the tales was it Kjorn's way to care about such petty things as how a flame was transported from one place to another. Kjorn cared about the truth, the only truth that mattered--strength.
So without much thought, Sigdar used a knife to pierce the bark of a tree. Coating the end of a stick in the resinous sap that bled from the tree, he created what would serve well enough as a torch. Not knowing what to expect, Sigdar then attempted to light the torch with the strange flame that still burned within the runestone.
In Dagshall, the chieftain was left with the difficult decision of how to react in the face of the recent attack. He was keenly aware that cowering behind the walls of their settlement would leave those in the mining outpost and lumber camp relatively exposed. Since the tribe had enough iron and lumber in their stores for the foreseeable future, Dag ultimately decided to have the miners and lumberjacks all ordered to abandon their posts and return to Dagshall. The mineshafts and trees would still be there once the ocean was red with the blood of whatever enemy lurked out there.
With those orders sent out, the tribe was hunkered down and ready to wait for their enemy to make another appearance. The palisade and shipyard were defended day and night and the warriors kept ready, so there would be no surprises.
While they waited and watched, there was still time for work to be done. The Iceborn had plenty of swords, axes, spears, and even bows with which to wage war; however, in terms of defenses the tribe was lacking. There were a few odd pieces of armor that had been brought to this new land from their old continent, but even those were growing old and rusty. The tribe needed armor to equip the warriors, and they had plenty of materials to make it. Shields wouldn't hurt either. The pounding of red-hot iron echoed throughout the village as the smithy began forging armor, whilst inside the longhouses others fashioned shields out of wood and hide.

The Iceborn
X) Other:
"So Kjorn is watching us, and you have won us his favor," the chieftain proclaimed, for to Dag this runestone of obviously magical properties was evidence enough of that. "You said that this appeared after you slew the bear, Sigdar? Then this is your prize, and it is a fool who rejects the boon offered unto him by a god. You must take this flame back to the settlement, and then perhaps we will discover what power or meaning it holds."
With the decree made, the chieftain was quick to return to Dagshall. His people needed him now, for this new enemy in the sea could strike at any moment and the Iceborn would need to be prepared. As Kjorn's champion, it fell to Sigdar to bring the flame back to Dagshall; if simply setting aflame a stick and bringing the flame back with that torch proved impossible, he would arrange to have the entire runestone dragged out of the forest.
Shortly after visiting the runestone, Dag oversaw preparations in his settlement. While the tribesmen capable of battle gathered their arms and shields and steeled themselves for battle, Dag and some of the elders tried to talk sense back into the survivors of the recent attack.
WTF I've been under the impression that I've had 0 MP for the past 5 months and have been holding back accordingly
You know what this means!

@Muttonhawk
The creation of the Primordial Spark took all of the MP that I had, but it happened so long ago that I don't even know if it was turn 11 or 10.
I'd imagine that the most destructive item in Divinus canon would be enough to bring down the Celestial Citadel without spending MP though, so if I actually do have 40 something it'd be a pleasant surprise ;p

Wait what, 48MP?
Pretty sure that I spent it all at some point and that Zeph and Co. should have 24; I thought that the "current MP" tab on the Excel was as of the new turn and that's why I left it at 24. I think that you then added another 24 on top of that and hence the 48.
Accounting is too much confusion to be worth the hassle! Abolish the Might system!
