The Goths find themselves under seige by the Iron Eyes and Franks who have entered into Gothic territory and burned all the land in their path. No military confrontations have occured yet, but it is only a matter of time.
The Franks in addition to raiding the Goths have begun raiding into the Roman Empire, burning numerous towns. They met a great setback however when one town militia inflicted a startling defeat on them, 250 horsemen were killed. The Franks gained 2 gold from their raiding and the Iron Eyes gained 1.
