Eccentricities:

[Harsh Homeland]: It seems like the hobgoblins settled on the worst place they could find; crops are hard to grow, and everything around them seems to want them dead.

After many days of being in the great tree, the chief has passed through several stages of exhaustion, boredom, restlessness and delirium. However, now he thinks that he is beginning to notice something different. Hidden among all the sensations of the forest life, he senses something else. A pulse, a pattern perhaps. Almost like he can feel the ebb and flow of nature itself as the energy of the universe trades hands and weaves in and out of matter and raw energy. Could this be what he was seeking? The pulse of the natural world? The heartbeat of All Life? Only the stars can say..

The villager frowns in thought before motioning to where you had seen the collection of construction around a spring from before. "The chieftain and his brother both traveled to strange springs they had found. Though I think the chieftain has already left you can no doubt find his brother there still. He sometimes comes with others to enjoy the market and helps with the hunts."

"Thank you! Oh, I'm terribly, terribly late!" The herald of spring hurried to the spring as quickly as her legs could take her, nearly tripping twice along the way before stopping ahead of the spring. It was clear and cool, the latter picked up from conjecture as it obviously was not steaming hot like she herself was used to. Feeling an odd sense of reverence, along with one of foreboding and panic, the fire herald paced around looking for other individuals, both hands holding the flower to the point she risked bruising its stem. "Hello? Is anybody here?"

As the herald approached she would find that the workers there seem to pause in their building while a few old and wrinkly looking beastfolk begin to crowd around from the tents that made up their lodging. However before the elders could speak there is a wild canter of steps as a much younger centaur, hardly an adult yet, comes forth. "Greetings! I am Anul and leader of this small group here, what do you wish f-" Midway through speaking Anul pauses as his eyes seem to stare off into the distance, he shortly returns to look at the herald closer, "You're much like my brother...though judging by your outfit that much might have been obvious in hindsight, what do you need friend flame?"

>>1129617
as an addendum to the sacred scriptures you are sending us, will you also share the divine magic that has been revealed to you. We are also willing to share our own revelations shown by the sacred grove.

It would help bring unity to our people by working towards the greater truth.

The chieftain's brother was quite handsome— but that was not why the herald was here, for she had most important information to deliver, though unfortunately she wasn't really aware of what to call the brother of a chieftain, if there was any title to be given. "Hello there- ...Anul, I'm a herald of fire, sent by somebody very important to look for the chieftain, who I heard learned how to control fire as well! Do you know where he could have possibly gone?"

>>1129881
>>1129876
"Through the elements we will grow our connection to the Great Spirit. I believe the day of contact is soon."

>>1130004
We believe that in order to make full communion with the great spirit, we must mend the schism that has torn each element of the world asunder. If we were to make a pact, that we would agree to become a mirror to another. We can mend this tear in the world and have the power to call forth the great spirit and achieve ascension.

>Agreement to pick opposing ancients and magic paths

>>1129971
Anul simply rubs at his face in thought as he begins to talk aloud, "Well Teslaiec had been interested in finding other places of power he called them, he had thought that the Sun had wanted him to find a certain place aside from the spring here. I managed to help the elders with discovering the secrets of water actually." Anul canters in place looking quite proud of himself before looking up at the shining star in the sky before nodding. "I'm not quite sure, but when I look to the sun, I feel that Teslaiec ventured towards the capital Tolretnac. You say you have experiance with the flame..." Looking back towards the other elders Anul steps closer to the herald, "If you could maybe help my brother in arms, I would be indebted to you, he underwent a rite for his clan for leadership, and he came back differently...he's almost pale as a ghost and his mane shifts even when there is no wind in the air."

>>1129105
At the Princep's yell, the large, rock man stops mid boulder hurl, and peers down at him; dust showers from his features as he curls his mouth into a sneer. "/THAT/ is not the earth. He has no respect for it, no care. only uses it, without thinking."

>>1129267

"Sun"... the herald was in thought for a moment before snapping back to the matter at hand."Oh, you can manipulate water? I- should probably get going, but a short demonstration of your abilities wouldn't hurt."

The fairy took out a pocket of ash and spread it on the bruised flower she held before setting it onto the ground. "Go ahead, use your water on it!"

>>1130285
"While he may not be of the earth, does not the earth give him power and through this power shape him into his destined role? A man is determined by his environment and the more savage and untamed it is, the more power it allows man to attain once conquered."

[Slave Labor]: Those elves less pretty to look at are basically slaves to the other elves; they just don't call it slavery. With a lack of basic regulations, the lower caste is worked to the bone. Production of resources is increased, but rebellions can be catastrophic.
[Flashy]: The elves of the Dominion are always working on improving the looks of their fighting styles. Because of this, many find any sort of heavy armor to be a waste of time.

Anul simply stares at the fairy for a moment at the rapid change in topic but shrugs before uncorking a skin of water. With a flicking motion of his wrist that simply flows a stream of water flies through the air to sink into the dirt itself. "The best thing I've found so far is if you move with the water you'll have a better time of it, though it's give and take really, sometimes..." At that moment the skin suddenly jerks and the water splashes messily around missing the mound of dirt as it splatters both fairy and centaur. "It does it's own thing at times, still you will look into my brother, to insure he is alright?"

At the question, the giant earth-man sneers again. "The earth is not simply something to be /used/. It is something that should be /respected/" With that, he turns and continues his quarrel with the smaller figure.

>>1130567
So what would have helped or applied in the first place then? The library? Maybe the bronzeworking and archery techs for the military?

>>1130517

Mixed with the water and life-giving ashes, the flower rapidly began to regenerate itself, growing from a beaten, wilted state to regaining its roots from the base it was plucked, even sprouting a couple branches from which more flowers came, the herald smiling and picking the plant up once again. "That's the beauty of fire; the ability to create and energize, and I suppose water is naturally about supporting life as well, naturally!" In response to Anul's query, she nodded.

"It's what I was sent to do, and the demonstration we just did was supposed to be seen by him, but now I'm pretty late, and rather tired. I'm sorry if this is a bit much to ask, but can you show me the way to Tolretnac?" The herald stretched out her arms and yawned, her fiery wings notably appearing small and subdued behind her.

>>1130624
Anul nods at that before noting the herald's fatigued state. Snorting in a rather horselike manner the stallion simply reaches over and lifts the smaller one up onto his back. There is a gasp from among the populace at the Springs at the brazen move yet Anul pays no mind to it. "Very well, I will carry you there as you need to save your strength, though I would love to hear more of these tales of fire's grace. I would have thought water be the one meant for giving life, since you need it to live." With that the duo soon start to make tracks heading further north to the capital city of Riaetrusqe hopefully they would be able to catch up with the cheiftain soon enough ...

>>1130578
Assur figuring that the smaller figure would be more amiable to his views, set out to reach him. He had to dodge the occasional boulder, but his extensive training let him avoid them with ease. Once he reached a distance to where he could speak and not be smashed in the crossfire, assur asked his question "explain to me, your opponent acts as though he is the earth itself. How do you have the strength to attempt to subjugate the world and achieve ascension?"

>Feathered Empire, before you forget, you got [Flight III]! As do you too, Heno!

Ignoring the sounds of glass exploding and shrieks in the distance as they got to their mission, the fairies traveled miles to where Ambassador Saccharine had purportedly made his flight, gazing in awe at the beauty of the world down below them as they took in the vast fields of verdant green, rivers whose current moved faster than could be seen by the eye and tropical forests containing trees taller than the largest towers of their home, all seemingly no larger than an elaborately detailed model against positioned a green screen- I mean, small like the grains of sand in a desert. Up ahead they came across a group of structures orbited by tall, gliding figures, which they descended upon thinking to be their possible destination, further attracted with what appeared to be some type of mounting spewing heat up ahead.

Before the flying men of Avarosi landed a somewhat short, or young woman whose wings seemed to be surrounded in flame, though her expression was otherwise friendly. Her cohorts resembled herself in appearance, though shorter and child-like in figure, carrying large glass objects in their arms. "Hello! Is this the Feathered Empire? We're Clausae, and we've come to trade with you!" Cendrillion stood in front of a crowd whose expression she was all together unsure of, her smile fading into a somewhat nervous frown.

The aelves try again to treat with the avarosi, perhaps they would accept their roles in a different way. Those that fly are leaders, they are of the air, across which all orders are given. Just as those of the earth are to grow farms and mine ore, or those of fire find their hands at cooking or smelting. It is of the air to speak, and be heard. Surely you can see this?

Fluff: the vampires caught and enslaved humans to do their bidding and be as cattle to them, slaves to bed worked and fed upon. they made the fatal error of teaching these slaves how to mine, how to build machines of labor, and how to use them. in secret the humans gathered supplies and dug hidden tunnels beneath the mountain, gathering in numbers and strength and building devices to combat the vampires. they ambushed the vampires, defeating their superior speed, flight, and strength through the use of armored wagons and ballistae which launched large iron spears directly at their vulnerable hearts and cutting up their wings with crossbows fired from ports on the sides of their wagons, hiding from their terrible claws and arrows from the sky under the iron plating of their war wagons. they killed the Vampire lord and now free of Vampiric rule the humans now live in Underhold, where their great uprising began, and choose mine and work for themselves from now on.

A dark veneer drapes around the Cirulis shore as sullen clouds coalesces above, sapping the once crystalline sea of color and vibrancy.
The Raging scorn of the Harwlyk sea pounce constantly upon the land. Crashing waves marches lockstep with the drudgery of the Ceadn host as it marches towards the lone stone structure sitting atop a hill. the now shimmering patter of the falling rain hides the frantic footsteps of sentries rushing to muster any kind of defense. the palisade itself could be brought down by any sizable gale, but its utility is secondary to the brief uptick in morale it inspired on the Overseer, directing the forlorn militia towards the red glare of the eastern horizon.
The eastern marches echoes with the grudging clang of bronze and the bellows of beings hungry for conflict. A trail of smoke and soot follows a war-maddened throng promising the coming of a metal bulwark set alight but a sea of torches and bronzite spears. the harsh speeches of hobgoblins can be heard through the landscape, a species predicated in war. nothing more than savages but what kind of race is threatened by savages, its people harassed by savages, its fate dictated by savages, Its uninvited existence is an offence ..... a deadly offence... but to whom.

No life moves, no birds chirp, no light stirs. The land sits still, cold in anticipation with only the rain disturbing its grimly calm. The water seeps through the soil failing to quench the thirst of the land. it was asking for something more, something thicker, something redder. War is nigh, the fields will bear witness to blood, and the land will drink aplenty.

"That would be me. It is usually considered proper manners to use the front door, as opposed to just walking, or flying, into a stranger's home. But you don't seem to be here to cause trouble, so we won't hold it against you."
The crowd parts as an elderly man, hair and beard white as snow from age, makes his way through the streets.
"And I'm afraid you've made a mistake. We are the Avarosi, though we welcome you all the same.

>>1131804
The old man, Gryth, shakes his head solemnly.
"No. It is our belief that we must choose and make our own paths. No one can choose for you, nor are you born into one. We are culturally a people of healing, but that does not mean we expect our children to follow the paths we have taken. They can choose to be healers, of course, or they can be builders, artisans, cooks, or even warriors. The path we each take is one of our own choosing, and even though we might not always agree with it, we accept it. Flyers we're not born to rule, those of the earth were not born to dig, and those of fire are not born to forge. We are all born to live and to make our own choices."

Cendrillion glanced at the Feathered official, remembering him from the earlier flight demonstrations he performed in the woods. "Lord Saccharine, it's you! We're on our way to Easterport to start a massive trade route on the Princess's orders, and if this place isn't it, it must be /really/ far away."

>>1132607

"People of healing?" The fire fairy had realized that their nation had mixed up stories of people who flew with the power of healing with the then unknown Feathered Empire. "You... I've heard stories about this city, they say you know how to manipulate life!

Sorry, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Cendrillion, a trade official from the Principality of Clausae, and we come from the desert where few things live, something my friends want to change! I've always wanted to be a healer, but beyond a few tricks we learned from our neighbors in the forest, it's only just trivia to us. Did you know that disease is an invisible object that you can pick up on your hands? I mean, /we/ don't really get sick ourselves*, but if you think your hands are diseased, wash them in hot water!"

*Fire Fairies have an much higher body temperature than the average living being, preventing them from getting fevers and making them an unsuitable vessel for most versions of the common cold and flu.

"And I am Gryth, of the Avarosi, in case you had any doubts." The old man chuckles to himself, and takes a breath before continuing.
>"You... I've heard stories about this city, they say you know how to manipulate life!
"I don't know if I'd say we 'manipulate' life, perhaps 'preserve' would be a better term."
>I've always wanted to be a healer
Gryth smiles, like only an old man can.
"Ah, wonderful to hear. We are always willing to teach others in the art of healing, so long as do not plan to use our gifts with ill intent."
>Did you know that disease is an invisible object that you can pick up on your hands? I mean, /we/ don't really get sick ourselves*, but if you think your hands are diseased, wash them in hot water!"
"That's not entirely accurate, child. While you can't see the things that make you sick normally, it doesn't mean they are invisible; they are simply too small to see. Sadly, we have yet to progress to a point where we can see them ourselves, but perhaps one day we can."

>>1133380
"You have your ways as we have ours, and we must each walk the path we choose as we each see fit. And while we have no intent to rule over others, neither do we intend to be ruled over. But then again, I doubt few people who are intended for that result."

Still dodging boulders, the short, rust colored figure laughs at the question. "Oh, old Zhremar is. He's been around for a long while, longer than any of us. But I've been here a long time too, and have learned things. I can teach ya, if ya want."

"We're always looking for more information to make our home a more civilized place! But, we can teach you things too!" The fire fairy turned to the Flying Empire's envoy. "Lord Saccharine! These flying people need to be taught how to fly properly, can you teach them how to fly the same way you taught us? It would increase their range so they can fly across the river and help teach us about medicine!"

>Offer: [Flight III] and [Mathematics II] for [Medicine II] and research Agreement [Medicine III] and Research Agreement [Mathematics III]

Furthermore, Cendrillion noticed a bunch of black tools sitting on the desktop of a stand. "Hey, this black stuff: it's glass! We know how to work with glass in order to shape it into useful objects, and we can teach you how too! Where did you get it from, though?"

The huge crocodile is approached, though from a safe distance. When the observers return, they marvel at how well the beast swam, almost in command of the water itself. The Riaetrusqe may be able to learn from the beast- provided they keep it fed and happy.

The ambassadors to the two tall figures are more productive- the one in the white gown introduces herself as Sameda, and she tells the centaur that she was impressed with the tribe's basic command of fire magic, and offers to teach them how to use it, not just as a force for destruction, but for creation and life as well. The other woman snorts when Sameda is mentioned, telling the party that she can teach them the hidden secrets of flame, and make them more powerful than anybody could imagine. Under her, she says, the centaur would be feared, as no other is.

Meanwhile after Anul had safely delivered the Herald to Tolretnac he had been made aware of the sightings of the great crocodile, intrigued by this great beast and it's almost mythical ease of water use he goes south once more to offer food and asks for teaching from the great beast. If nothing else he'll hopefully learn something from observing the beast.

As for Teslaiec he thinks hard upon the decision between both knowing somehow that accepting one rejects the other, the blood shed of the past weighs heavily on the young chieftains shoulders, while learning how to create and heal would help their people sometimes you can't arrive in time to save a life.

The Hobgoblin Khal'a continues its march through Ceadn, capturing towns, villages, and outposts alike on their path toward the capitol. Mercy is granted upon request, but it comes at the cost in valuables. Little is burned or destroyed upon orders from the Khaltans, and it is clear by the treatment of the natives and of their territory that the intent has shifted from a mere punitive raid into a war of conquest. The Arakosi had come to subjugate.

"We welcome the missionaries from the Black Feather Republic and permit them to carry about their work, with the following caveats:

2. Attempts at inciting rebellion amongst the lower caste will be punished.

"Ah, that sounds like a fine trade. We must admit, that while we can fly, we aren't very good flyers, as much of our time is spent advancing our knowledge of medicine. As for the 'black glass', we call it Obsidian. We mine it from a nearby volcano. Not exactly the safest place to work, but it does offer a plethora of resources that we've only begun to access."

The Hobgoblin women openly laugh at the emissary. The murmur among each other in their guttural language. One nudges the other woman with her arm and make a clearly lewd motion after gesturing to the Elf. They both laugh again. The palisade and gate of Tor'Iralon are guarded by women. There doesn't seem to be many males in sight, and none of those are under arms. Another woman eventually arrives and the two women snap to a rigid posture with a hand on their long-bladed spears and the other pressed to their chests. A brief conversation erupts but it is mostly the newcomer asking questions of the guards. She turns her red eyes to the Elf and frowns.

"If you have come to make threats, know that our sex does not make our blades any less effective. In the interest of peace I will give you one opportunity to speak peacefully; or my command will see how well your kind fly off mountains without their wings." She gestures impatiently for him to get on with it, then raises her opposite hand. It is now that a few other hobgoblins on the palisade look down at the Elf as well, long throwing spears hefted in hand and ready to toss at the drop of the armored woman's hand.

The religion of the Great Spirit
Core Belief: The Great Spirit is connected to all the elements and living things.
Commandments:
1. None shall kill a believer for being another race.
2. The Great Spirit nurtures us, attempt to adapt to the world before trying to alter it.
3. Like the river ideas, coin, and resources should flow.
4. Like the wind, you should speak gently normally and scream like a tempest when rage takes you.
5. Like the earth, you should be a source of new life.
6. Like the flame you shall consume all enemies of the Great Spirit
7. Meditate at dawn and dusk

I do hope you see how we could make things so much easier for you, if you but accept our friendship now." The elf shows the slightest sign of disgust, but mostly her face remains neutral.

Thanking Anul for his service and hoping for future occasions to meet the disciple of water, the Herald of Fire took no pause to hurry towards an area she intrinsically sensed contained a strong presence of fire, meeting up with Sameda before long.

"I'm finally here teacher, and I've brought some materials to demonstrate our abilities to the Chieftain! If he's anything like his brother which brought me here, I think the centaur would make an excellen-" The Herald's words trailed off as she noticed a figure dressed in black standing next to a being who matched Anul's descriptions of Teslaiec.

A small, simple skiff approaches the northern outpost of Heno, bearing a flag not seen by the Henoans in decades. From it comes a male in flowing robes and his retinue. He is, surprisingly, an elf, not with wings but with flowing blonde hair and a beautiful face. Could these be the long-lost elves of Aurea? "So this is where the elves of the woods reside, and their fae kin as well. They seem to have done quite well for themselves since the schism, haven't they?"

[New and Exciting]: The fairies of the brand new nation of Classa are excited to learn and discover new things, but they have a bad case of collective ADD. Researching new technologies is easier, but improving upon old ones bores them.
[Burning]: Classa's fairies draw their energy from flame- while near burning fires, they are stronger, but they are weaker than normal at other times.

The Princess of Fire felt rather glum in spite of seeing her nation progress quite significantly in the past year due to interactions with the outside. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she felt that she had forgotten something rather important. Nevertheless, the fairy monarch couldn't let these thoughts stop her role as leader, not when her people needed her presence the most. She dusted some of the substance that Saccharine said made her more alluring, and put on a fake smile.

The Hobgoblin woman eyes the Elven diplomat suspiciously. She barks an order to the guards without breaking eye contact with the Elf. One of them scurries away and fetches a plain chariot. The ride up to the lodge is bumpy over the rough cobbles, but far easier than trying to navigate a chariot over dirt paths or muddy tracks common in most cities. Past the outskirts of Mor'Taris stone walls replace those of wood and here the majesty of the City of the Mountain is clear. Across the many peaks and slopes of the mountains are homes, fortresses, schools, and other buildings carved from the living rock of the mountain itself. Narrow streets of stone are supported by dozens of lifts that carry person and goods alike up and down the many layers of the city.

"Do not fly," The woman says simply after handing the reins of the chariot off to another woman. "If you do you will be shot like any bird. Few are aware of your arrival. It was a surprise to us." She leads the Elf through a twisting set of stony corridors, steep alleyways, and private lifts to make it to the large carved palace known as the "Lodge". There she passes the diplomat off to another hobgoblin, this time a man who needs and dismisses the hobgoblin soldier with a similar salute to the one the guards had given earlier.

In interior of the hall was vast and well lit by many braziers of fire and bio-luminescence that gave the entire place a warm purple tinge. Looking about no one seemed to be wearing any kind of footwear, and the Elf was likewise instructed to remove hers and to tie any weapons she carried to their sheathe with a strip of the shimmering cloth that matched the sashes worn by both the khaltan from earlier and the majordomo here. Only once this had been done is the Elf permitted to walk down the strangely warm halls to the receiving area where she was announced.

Upon a tall stone chair draped in fur and shimmering orange cloth was a well-built hobgoblin woman. Her hands were adorned with simple iron and aluminium rings devoid of gems, and an aluminum circlet was worn about her head. A thick black braid was draped over her shoulder opposite the orange sash. She wore the same garb as every other hobgoblin - that ubiquitous combination of pants and long-sleeved tunic of simple browns and whites. The most ostentatious item of clothing on this powerful woman was the bejeweled girdle and sword-belt. Resting against the throne was the sword that went with the ensemble. While the girdle spoke of wealth the sword spoke of practicality. The sheathe was simple leather, and the hilt that protruded from said scabbard looked well-used, worn to a shine with frequent use. Another chair was next to hers, but it lie empty.

"I am the Chevaloress. I hold the fealty of these people with the Domitus is on campaign. You wish to speak words of peace. I will let you speak them in my presence and make my judgement known. Present your offers to the Khalessar Arakos."

Fluff: A loose conglomerate of areas united by economic ties and a common religion. They practice ancestor worship, especially of very distant and well-known family members. There is a loose pantheon of heroes who are said to have had shaped the formation of the nation as it is today, who are each considered to have founded one or more extremely prolific bloodlines that worship them. The government is arranged into hereditary councils that have jurisdiction over the lands that their claimed forbearer founded, with rank being based on a combination of merit and ancestral purity/closeness. They are known for having fine pottery and good trade routes up and down the river, as well as a well-armored navy. The government is somewhat preoccupied with gaining power between factions and keeping the populace pacified with theaters and other performance art. Families are large, with several generations living under the same roof(s); and polygamous, with a few men and several women in the same relation that they are expected to be faithful to exclusively. Political scandals involving affairs or other family matters are extremely common. Finally, they are very suspicious of overt shows of magical power, especially in war or for minor inconveniences, but are fairly respectful of well-established government-sponsored prophets, usually from very good bloodlines.

>How do the Arakosi view slavery?

With the expansion of the borders into frogperson territory the question of what to do with the conquered populations comes into play. The discussion rages in camp and in the courts of Arakos. Eventually 3 philosophies are put to the question but the Domitus will accept only one.

1-20 - The Frogpeople are weak and pitiful, fit only as a race of slaves to their betters.

21-75 The Frogpeople must work to prove themselves worthy of acceptance. Just as new Khal'i must test their mettle in the training field before being accepted so too must these frogpeople be evaluated for suitability.

76-100 The Frogpeople fought and did not submit. Even if they did not fight well that strength of spirit and defiance suits the Khalessar equally as well and they should be accepted without delay

The Chevaloress is struck silent. She stares with shocked silence at the audacity of the Elf before her. Murmurs erupted from other attendants and go on for several long seconds before the leader regains enough composure to wave them all to silence. The tension grows thick as the Chevaloress stays silent for heart beat after long heart beat. Finally, she stands from her throne and looks down at the Elf.

"We Arakosi do not believe in slavery. Everyone has their worth. In hardship and strife is the metal tested and found to be worthy. A slave is an untrustworthy blade at best, one likely to bend when it must be stiff. We'll share no slaves with you, Elf, and brook none in our territory. As for your aid, we Arakosi need none. Your reliance on magic will be your undoing. Metal never fails when it is treated properly. Magic is fickle. Should we find ourselves on the same side of the battlefield you may find us reliable. The split of spoils between any Khal should be handled after the battle once both sides have tallied their contribution to the cause. Splitting the harvest before it is sown is the path toward starvation and we," she pauses to gesture around her, "do not starve." She steps down from her throne to stand upon the final step. She looks down at the Elf from here, but not nearly as imperiously as before. "Go back and tell your council that the Arakosi refuse your alliance. If you wish to trade my majordomo will show you to the appropriate authority. In the future I would avoid such a brazen request for sexual relations. It reflects poorly on your character and shows your entourage to be submissive when it must appear strong. Besides, your kind are frail and bony. I would probably break you." She turns and walks back up to the throne. Standing before it she addresses the hobgoblins in the court, and the Elf below.

"As is right by the Law of Orkrassa who has determined the roles of Man and Woman I pass judgement in my home, the land of Arakos, in accordance with the position held by me as Chevaloress. I hereby judge the Elf and their alliance," She pauses and raises a fist before her. "refused." She completes, turning the fist and pointing her thumb down.

>>1138677
The elf laughs her relief. "Be careful you do not shatter for being too stiff, it would appear to some that your soldiers are on the brink of losing their minds." A joking smile, and the out of place ease of the elf follows her all the way to the edge of your kingdom.

"Greetings, elves of Heno. I am Marcus Arcadius and I represent the Aurean Dominion, the domain of the High Elves. We have come to you today to establish trade and goodwill. Our nation is bountiful in resources, including gems, bronze, wood, stone, iron and horses. In addition, we have a wealth of technology, both from Aurea and from its many trade partners, and together we can make great strides through research agreements to perfect the technologies that we already share.

We would like to start by proposing a trade route between Aurea and Heno so that we can both reap the rewards of trade and commerce. Seeing as how we both have the knowledge of boat building, I would propose a route along the Great River to allow for faster travel.

We also wish to offer a trade. Your swordsmithing techniques are of great interest to us, and as such we are willing to trade our knowledge of Aurean craftsmanship in return for it.

Some hobgobbo vocabulary

Skal: The temporary war leader of a Khal'a. A Skal also runs and approves any negotiations or diplomats sent to entreat with powers outside of Arakos. Neither the Skal nor the Chevaloress are gender strict ranks, but most often the genders will collate to their respective rank.

Chevaloress: The female equivalent to a Skal. She is responsible for home defense and leads the Khal'na. She likewise approves and runs any diplomatic missions that take place within the borders of Arakos.

Khal'a: A group of Khal away from the borders of Arakos. This could range from two to two dozen Khal and is more of a descriptor than an actual element of organizational hierarchy. These are led by the Skal.

Khal'na: The same as a Khal'a, but strictly within the borders of Arakos. These are always run by the Chevaloress

Khal: A Group of hobgoblins joined together in common purpose. While often used to describe a cadre of warriors anything from a guild to a farming collective could be considered a Khal. As all work worthy of a group is deemed important and not to be looked down upon there is no distinction between the various types. Khals act in a democratic fashion, with votes between the Khal'i of equal value in determining actions. These can be overridden by the orders of the Skal or Chevaloress, or vetoed by the Khaltan should they have sufficient support.

Khal'i: A member of a Khal. Quite literally "I, link of a group".

Khaltan: The leader of a Khal. Answers only to the Skal or Chevaloress. A Khaltan is usually elected by the Khal after a trial of skill against other members of the Khal. Should they need to be replaced another trial can be called if there is time, but otherwise it simply moves down the ranks.

Ah, I'm surprised that you would appreciate such simple work. We merely formed metal into the patterns that nature provided. They cut through the air as gracefully as willow leaves and goose quills.
We would be glad to learn of how your craftsmanship has progressed. You always did have an eye for the particulars. Speaking of which, perhaps you would be interested in some of our fine brushes and soaps guaranteed to give you a healthy and vibrant glow. In exchange we would like to learn of your latest sword techniques. Ours have admittedly grown rusty as of late.

A message is sent to the hobgoblins.

"An issue has come before us that the phrase '>Right to educate privileged students at the Academy' is not very clear to either of us.

As it stands, we do not wish its loose interpretation to detail unwarranted, and uncompensated, research at our facilities without due equivalency. We have, in fact, given a a similar privilege to Aurenos for they are near and in sight, and we have pledged to contact each other for joint research. Arakos is far, and we have not yet had such a pledge from either side.

But we are willing to open up to the potentiality of allowing foreign research to benefit from our Academy, if we are also given fair equal return. For in Balbyionia, we have a saying "Hand for Hand, Foot for Foot"

To clarify this matter, our proposal is thusly:
>The suggestion that Arakos may build an embassy in Balbyon for free use of our Academy, if they would provide us one of the latet versions of their tech every five turns upon request
Or
>Balbyon will build an Embassy in Arakos, and gain the right to study their existing technologies at will at no action of Arakos, and provide free us of our Academy

This is the message we send."

>>1139820
You'll know if they fuck up. It's really up to the Aurean Dominion how the handle this new religion.

>>1139826

High Paragon Arcturus II, upon hearing word of the Great Spirit, becomes deeply enamored by the religion as the Great Cycle begins to make more sense. Indeed, it is the Great Spirit who judges each soul's karma and dharma, and chooses its fate in the next life. Through understanding and following the teachings of the Great Spirit, the people of Aurea can better understand their own actions so they do not end up becoming imperfect themselves.

In short, the Dominion peacefully converts to the religion of the Great Spirit and a new paragon, Paragon Vincentius, is elected to serve as minister of religious affairs.

>>1139858
Welp, looks like Black Feather no longer needs their [Missionaries] eccentricity :^)

I should do a bit more fluff on imperfection as well.

According to Aurean lore, the soul does not simply cease to exist after death, nor does it go to an afterlife, but instead is reincarnated in a phenomenon known as the Great Cycle. Over the course of one's lifetime, the soul becomes darkened by villainous deeds (karma) and cleansed by good deeds (dharma). At the end of one's life the Great Spirit judges each and every soul based on how much karma it has accumulated, and gives these souls new lives based on past behavior. Imperfection is caused when the soul's karma far exceeds its dharma. Imperfection can take a number of forms - poor health, bad luck, poverty, etc., but in the High Elves it manifests heavily in their looks (often combined with the aforementioned elements).

The difference between a normal high elf and an imperfect is not a subtle one. While elves of the middle and upper classes live long and retain their good looks up until the very last years of their lives, the imperfects live much shorter lives and often bear wrinkles, warts, and other very unattractive features.

It is the sworn duty of the high elves to punish the imperfects with labor and servitude so they can redeem themselves and not repeat the mistakes they have made in past lives. However, this is not quite the same as traditional slavery, as the imperfects are not considered anyone's property and cannot simply be bought and sold, although they are usually beholden to their workstations which provide them with the very bare essentials - food, shelter, etc. Imperfects who live past their working days are released from servitude, as are any who perform valorous acts or are especially accomplished workers. Along with hard labor (mining, chopping down trees, farming, etc.), imperfects are often assigned to occupations dealing with death - butchers, fish processors, gravediggers, executioners, etc. The Ministry of Labor, currently headed by Paragon Julian, assigns roles to individual imperfects and enforces their servitude.

In their studies with medical herbs at the library, one of the lead fairy researchers decided to nibble on one, just to test its effects. The immediate results were somewhat overpowering to make a severe understatement, and she found her vision suddenly become blurry and slip, as though she had been poisoned, and she wanted to shout in order to alert her companions, but found her body lock up as she suffered a peculiar type of paralysis.

What followed was something that even a creature as whimsical as a fairy would consider surreal. She saw a vast landscape, devoid of any notable terrain other than a flat, perfectly smooth checkerboard of black and white: so smooth in fact, that she found herself apparently sliding on the ground in spite of being paralyzed, ferried in an alien and intimidating plane of existence. The tiles of this checkerboard began to silently elevate, giving way into mountainous monoliths whose only defining feature were blinking lights that somehow shone in an impossibly bright shade of black, a darkness that appeared to illuminate what it touched in violation of the laws of nature.

The fairy now found herself floating in spite of the fact her wings were as paralyzed as the rest of her, getting ever farther and farther from the land as she drifted into the sky which itself gave way to a black void. She noticed the sun staring at her, as though expecting something. She wanted to speak, but found no words form in her throat and her mouth sealed shut...

Her vision snapped back into reality, and she was held no more, though quivered as though she had been trapped in a cool cellar. Clutching her head and rubbing her eyes with differing hands, the fairy researcher got back to work, and noticed something- different. Her mind didn't appear to wander at all, and she found herself accomplishing far more progress than would be the norm for- well for anyone, that was a fairy. Though it took a while, she eventually put two and two together and determined the jungle herb was counteracting her concentration deficit. A second testing of the herb bore no hallucinations or paralysis, thankfully. She had to tell this to her friends, and the Butterlanders!

[Butterland]
Work on a quarry begins [1/4, -1 wood], and the Avarosi search for more resources [3/4], while a new plaguewarden is trained [1x, -1 food, -1 currency/turn].

[Classa]
>Changing 'New and Exciting to -5 from -10
The fairies of Classa finish their medicinal research [Medicine III], though there's no progress on the new architectural designs. The technologies are sent to Butterland

[Henoan Conclave]
Agricultural research completes [Agriculture II, +1 food/farm], and the chief comes back from his communion, wielding a power over life that the rest of the Conclave had never seen [Life Magic I]. Further research into Ecology is started [3/6], and the chief soon leaves to commune with nature again, and further his newfound powers [2/6]. Finally, the Conclave's scouts go out into the forest again, looking for other creatures.

[Aurean Dominion]
The Dominion establishes its trading route- however, dangerous waters discourage many from attempting the journey [+2 currency/turn] Meanwhile, the promised trade goods are sent to the Conclave, and construction of the Arcaneum begins [1/6, -.5 stone].

[Machaka]
Work begins on a Navy [2/3, -3 wood], and also the Khal Invictus begin training [2/3, -2 bronze]. With the help of their magic, the lumberyard is nearly ready [3/4, -1 wood].

[Balbyionia]
An outpost is readied [+1 currency/turn, +1 pop/turn;-1 wood, -1 stone], and the king orders his diplomats to undergo more training [3/6].

[Feathered Empire]
Classa sends over the finalized architecture plans [Architecture III], and the weather weaving project completes [Weather Weaving I]. Further Weather magic is being worked on as well [3/8].

[Black Feather]
Further treeweaving research is nearly done [4/6], and the lumber mill is readied; it's situated in a grove of very large trees, of which there are many [Lumber Mill I, +2 wood/turn, +2 Industry]. The Clergymen attempt to contact the great spirit...and it works; The gigantic crocodile is seen swimming in the Temple's sacred gardens not an hour later- the mages report their water magic seems to be more powerful in its presence- perhaps it could be convinced to stay, for the right price.

[Provinces]
Work on a port slowly begins [1/4, -1 wood], and a school also is erected [2/4, -1 stone], while the people of the Provinces begin to slowly improve their boats [1/6, -1 wood].

[Riaetrusque]
The research has been finished, and both schools begin to go up [2/4, 1/4, -1 stone each].

[The Underhold]
The Digging Machine progresses [2/6], though work stalls on the crossbows- they aren't ready yet. The Engineering School however, is now accepting applications [Engineering School I, +1 Industry]!

[Arakos]
The Hobgoblins finally finish their research into Ironworking [Ironworking I], while construction of the bridge begins [1/8]. The Arakos start to really define their culture, as well [Culture I].

Eccentricities:
[Slave Labor]: Those elves less pretty to look at are basically slaves to the other elves; they just don't call it slavery. With a lack of basic regulations, the lower caste is worked to the bone. Production of resources is increased, but rebellions can be catastrophic.
[Flashy]: The elves of the Dominion are always working on improving the looks of their fighting styles. Because of this, many find any sort of heavy armor to be a waste of time.
Works in Progress: Grand Arena (3/20), Arcanaeum (1/6)

Actions:
1. We should continue construction of the Arcanaeum. It will prove to be of great use to us. (+Enlightened Earth Magic II) (+Writing III) (+Masonry I) (+Craftsmanship I) (+Ironworking)
2. We should begin expansion to the southwest. Fertile soil awaits along the Great River, and we should take advantage of it. (+Horsemanship I)
3. With iron we can now craft sturdier weapons and armor. We should begin researching how to make light armor out of bronze and iron, using enlightened earth magic to magically reinforce the metal without having to make the armor bulkier.

"Greetings to you, winged one. My name is Cecilia Aquilina of the Aurean Dominion and I have come to you today to establish relations and trade with your people. I believe all nations along the Great River could greatly benefit from trade, both with the income provided by trade routes and the trade of knowledge to enrich our people and civilization as a whole.

Word has come from the Black Feathers of your people's skill of the healing arts which we would like to learn for the benefit of our health. In return, the Aurean Dominion is rich with many resources, including bronze, wood, stone, gems, iron and horses. We also pride ourselves in our craftsmanship, academics, architecture and skill with bow and sword, which we would be more than willing to share with you in exchange for some of your knowledge.

The fairies in their studies have been taught the concept of structures such as arches and flying buttresses, and the idea to reinforce glass with bronze metal rods in order to build crystal towers to heights previously unknown. Likewise however, they came to the realization that the desert winds take their toll on buildings of such magnitude through grinding them with unending sands, trapping them between increasing layers of sand and likewise having a negative impact on the overall ecology, in spite of their theoretical beauty. It wasn't until much chatter later that they came up with a possible solution, one which they shared with with their Feathered mentors.

"Lets build in the sky!" Using the concept of leyline nodes told to them by the centaur which they suspected Sauna Oasis to be due to its peculiar features, they could "hook" in blocks enchanted by flight magic to be held up in the sky as though they were on a solid surface, allowing the potential of whole fortresses, or possibly even cities to be suspended in the air. They could turn Sauna Oasis into a flying marvel that would be the prettiest city in the world!

However, there was a major issue which needed to be addressed. The amount of labor required would be astronomical, and the fairies themselves were lacking in upper-body strength. In order to make this a reality, they would need the help of stronger races, such as the sky elves. If the Feathered Empire wished to make their own cities floating, the fire fairies would be happy to help them as well, once their own capital got off the ground, in a literal sense.

A familiar figure in a red dress comes down to visit the Butterlanders. "Hey, Elder Gryth, we've made an important medical discovery!" She picked a large glass tablet from a satchel and handed it to the elder Butterlander. "Jungle herbs cure attention defeatist! Uh, attention deposit? Atten- it allows people that normally can't focus to focus, and that's been a problem our entire nation has been suffering for as long as we can remember! Please, we need more!" Notably, the fairy herself seemed to have a faint scent of the herb, suggesting that she was currently using it.

Gryth comes out to meet the small fairy. Or is she a tall fairy? He isn't really sure on that matter, as he hasn't met enough for a proper basis for comparison. The elder man can't help but chuckle, 'attention defeatist', 'attention deposit'? If nothing else the fairy representative always brings a smile to the old man's face with her visits.
