It is the year 1349 - a time of progress and discovery, but also a time of warfare and plague. The Dark Ages of this world are drawing to a close, but its death throes still affect all realms. Plague destroys families and shatters nations, swords clash over land, honour, faith, or simple survival. The thunder of guns pierces the sound of steel on steel, new innovations spewing out ever greater instruments of death. In some laboratories hidden deep in the mountains or forests, experimental steam-belching monsters take to the skies or bring Men to the depths of the ocean. More and more is made possible through the powers of technology.
However, not all is scientific and rational. Armies of undead march onward to inevitability, great wizards destroy legions of soldiers, and enchanted weaponry is a prize worth destroying kingdoms over. A few brave, or perhaps foolhardy, souls have taken to combining mind and magic. Who knows what such innovation might bring?
Yet, magic and technology are not what defined this world. This world was defined by war. First, chieftain fought chieftain over hunting grounds; Later, king fought king over control of vital farms and resources, but more and more the power of individuals is waning as the State grows stronger.
The most recent change currently recorded was in the year 1345; known as the Year of Western Sails. It was in this year that strange ships came across the grand ocean Westward, bringing with them strange men, speaking a mysterious tounge. Some sought to trade, others to conquer, but from what little information is known about the West, one thing keeps coming back: these vessels are mere scouting fleets for warring kingdoms and empires across the ocean. Who knows what will happen?
It is in this age of conflict, be it king versus king, magic versus technology, perhaps soon East versus West, that you lead your nation to either greatness or certain doom.
Ave Imperiator!

Oh, and note that the hexes are purely there to measure travelling distance, your borders do not have to follow them - travelling from one corner of a hex to another is 30 miles, about a day's ride on horseback through open terrain.

The République emerged recently from a bloody civil war that sapped much of its wealth and a decent portion of its population. Having thrown off the shackles of feudal rule the new Republic looks forward to a new future under the leadership of the Chambre de Commissariat.

Formed by the hearty tribes of the north when united under the Triumvirate of Dragonlords who rule over the lowlands from their great city of Frosthold. It is said that the three great dragons were tamed by Jarl Frisgarl the Great who founded the Dominion, now the greatest warriors compete for the chance to ride one of this dragons and reach the supreme title of Dragonlord who presides as the first among equals in the council of Jarls. War is the nature of all Frisgarlians with raids being considered a rite of passage among the young men of the nation.

A kingdom of crime, where only the strongest and meanest of their lot can hope to lead. Seafarers by nature, the citizens of the Pirate-Dom have founded their nation in the salty waters of the ocean. The current Arch-Captain is Frederick "The Jackal", a brutal and ruthless pirate lord, missing an eye and both toes.
They have amassed a great amount of wealth, perhaps being the richest kingdom of the continent thanks to their continuous raids by sea. But population's numbers have taken, sadly, quite the toll.
But nonetheless, the pirates push on. Biting and gnashing, stabbing backs and doing anything for another lump of gold, fearing the moment when they will witness Davy Jones' locker, and drinking merrily to the sound of sea shanties!

Breinland is a strange place; made from a division centuries ago, they prepared for a war against an enemy that never came. Upon searching the mainland, they found their original tribe had vanished, wandered off somewhere most likely. Angry and bitter, they ramped up the propaganda, and the general at that time proclaimed himself king. Rebels were brutally and swiftly punished. Eventually, his son would become king too, and then the next... all this until one king changed the name of the country due to egotism, that he would pass on to his son. His grandson, the third of his line, was quite normal though, if a bit stupid. While the line quite off had madmen and those with egos larger than sense, they still worshipped the old ways. That is to say, animism and the like; specifically, shelled animals, hares and rabbits, and birds. When those from the West came, Breinlandians took up arms - from the newcomers, that is. With their new weapons, they slowly expanded from their small population, and began to creep inland. This is where they find themselves today.

The Varanian Empire did not survive the long and violent war of succession that wore into it for the last decade after the death of Emperor Vladimir Teraw IX. The noble houses' stubborn refusal to swear fealty to any of their fellows and Imperial attrition tactics caused near total devastation to the Empire's population and treasury. Duke Josuha Kiel of House Kiel managed to finally take hold of the capital and compromised with the other houses to form a new government in which the 6 noble houses would not subservient to any king. Thus he ascended the throne as Archduke Joshua Kiel of the new Noble Republic of Varania. A challenging beginning awaits him, as though the Republic is stable, it is in shambles from the war that was its creator. All is not lost however, the people of the Republic are hardy, and the vast fields of food allow for much need economic growth and a surge of population.

The Harganth empire started out as a singular Peninsular settlement, Harganhold. The discovery of gold allowed the family leaders of this settlement to purchase the services of a powerful Mountain tribe, the Ervingians, and to equip them to serve as a mercenary force. Quickly subjugating those around them, the Ervingians were forced from their homes by an earthquake. In response, the city of Ervingrad was built, to house them, and to serve as a central military administration hub. When a fleet of pirates almost took Harganhold, the ruling family at the time took an expedition to the lands to the south of Harganhold, to secure the forests there, and built the city of Imrikhold. The Navy was built up, to a terrifying level using this new wood, but it made the Imriks, the ruling family of Imrik hold rebellious. When they lost the next election for Emperor, they attempted to stirke for independance. With disciplined Ervingian regiments leading the charge, Imrikhold was taken, and the Imriks removed from the voting body. Then, a glorious palace, known as the Palace of The Electoral Court was built, with all Electoral Families required to maintain rooms in the Palace and guards in Harganhold at all times to disrupt the building of powerbases.
The current Emperor, Demetrios has just finished the construction of Haildenfort, in response to incursions by nomads from the plains to the south. He has been ruling for 3 years, and his family have held the Imperial Throne for 4 generations. Now he looks outwards, as developments in medicine and hygine have caused a population explosion, and he must now begin solving this new problem.

The Glorious Tsardom of Slavnia lasted three generations, ending with my father, Tsar Alexar III. Unable to pick between his two sons, he split the nation into two - giving half to me, the younger son. My half-brother Nickolai rules in the West, while I rule in the East. With the Tsardom divided, we each cling to the titles of Knyaz - comparable in other nations to "Prince".
My land is fertile, highly populated - my people have a strong naval tradition, with experience in fending off raiders from the seas.
This map is for all of Slavnia - coordinated with Ranger, who plays my half-brother.

The caliphate had faced rough times, but none as severe as this. A devastating plague had struck the land killing countless of people but through faith we persevere and in God we trust to protect us from such evils. Now the new Sultan had ascended the throne, eager to bring back the caliphate to its former strength!

The six tribes of the mountains were united many generations ago into a rough nation when the Hetmak tribe defeated the others and forced them to bend the knee. However, the clans still have great power, so the Sultan is more a first among equals with the clan chiefs rather than a true ruler in many respects. Few people live in the mountains, and those people are poor and primitive, but they are also tough as nails and fiercely protective of their culture, their land and their people. The people are divided into six clans, and those clans into many tribes but all of them are 'Artok' meaning 'true people'. Other Artok live in the desert to the east and the mountains further north, but other people are 'Arsham' meaning 'false people' are the people of the clans distrust them intensely.

So today’s write-ups are rather short, as everybody is online at once and I’m dead tired, my apologies.

Demetrios marches through the palace with a furious expression on his face. He calls for the captain of the Guard, a Veteran Ervingian.

Demetrios then begins to write a speech to give to the citizens. He tries to bring to mind a parents sadness, trying to get the people to empathise with him.

>Action 1: Sell the manors and goods seized from the nobles to improve the economy, restart lumber exports. (+20)

The Chambre de Comissariat fills in slowly as the various Commissars of the République take their seats in the hall once reserved for the King and his noble council. Numbering sixteen, the Velka Commissar made the seventeen and tie-breaking vote. She stood in the center of the circle, surrounded by her fellow revolutionaries.

"We have achieved a dream once thought impossible! We have destroyed the monarchists and taken the heads and lands of the nobles and the royals. Even with this monumental task complete Karlisé is far from healed. Our revolution burned peasant crop and noble manor alike. Such is the price of victory. Is falls to us to rebuild this République, and to defend it against the royals of this continent who would seek to destroy our dream and cast all Karliséans back into chains. Therefore it is my recommendation that we seize the manors, and sell them and the goods within to neighboring nations. The Feudals love pointless ostentation and our dearly departed left us plenty." Élise pauses, giving a moment for the Commissars to quietly murmur among themselves. Their voices are low, but the nods are eager and the determined looks to several tell her that some are already considering the options ahead.

"Commissar Rouén," Begins another Commissar as he stands to his feet. "The Commissariat of Development agrees with your assessment, but we do not feel that just the noble goods will suffice. Karlisé sits on a vast resource of lumber. By exporting it to the Frankobergs or even the Jarls we could get substantial numbers of our people back to work." Élise nods.

"I second the motion. All in favor?" Sixteen hands rose.

2. Research Matchlocks (+14)

The revolution was only made possible through superior firepower. For the first time in centuries the common man had the power to down a Knight. Unfortunately, they're unreliable, short-ranged, and inaccurate. Improvements to our firearms will allow for superior musketry. Substantial effort and state resources go into this project.

3. Construct the Republican Armory in Karlisé (+20)

To stifle revolution and to maintain their stranglehold on politics the royalty decentralized arms production to a massive extent. This prevented a single revolt from capturing enough arms to threaten the monarchy. Unfortunately, a massive nation-wide revolt did. The Commissariat, fearing little from the people it represents, opts to move most weapons production in the country to a single centralized point in the capitol.

>Follow Staunen, this sounds important.

Breiner strode through the hallways rather slowly, wishing to take just a little bit more time. He was doing his job though.

Under his breath he muttered, "Reparations, that's what they all claim. Though, the least I can do is stop this man getting killed."

His mind ran through a million possibilities for the year; perhaps he'd get a start on trading fur with the Westerners, as he had planned to all the time they'd been here. They seemed to have wealth, and even though his nation was already rich, he figured the population might revolt if they didn't always have this level of comfort. Best to be prepared and maybe spend a little on yourself, he thought.

>Trading with Westerners to begin improving my financial situation, along with sweetening our relations a little; which also factors into the quest I believe, so I'll spend my first die there. Stewardship, right? (+5)

He also wanted to expand the nation's fisheries, to keep it great. Also, because he really liked fish. Nothing like a good caviar, right? Everyone must know what that feels like, surely. As for this nation thing, he wanted to go ahead and relax some of the border tensions his father and forefathers had been so passionate about. His country was rich, and they could afford more people; hell, it might even make diplomacy, his strong suite, more attractive to other people. Now wouldn't that be nice?

>d100 for trying to expand my fishing industry, so I can support a larger population in future, and more down to earth individuals can come live here. I guess that's working on population growth?

Lastly, he'd given the go ahead on some boating projects. He too believed in the spirits, and he loved to sail. Something about the wind in your face is great... yet, perhaps not. Perhaps working with the wind could make the boats better.

>Basically, begin magical enchantment research, and how I can combine it with our boat crafting.

Enoch, of Babel

Enoch is believed to be the first Nephilim, born from a son of God and daughter of man. He believes in world peace and tries to give the best to his people. He is a rancher of grazing animals, and is weak in combat and deceit.

Filthy fucking landlubber. Some amateur thief thinks he can just rob the Arch-Captain and get away with it. But that's not how it works in the Pirate-Dom. Everyone can be free, but wrongs get punished. Sometimes rights get punished too, however that is not important.

These Thieves will be dealt with - but we will act smart here.

Action 2
In accordance with the deal between myself and my brother, we will contribute to the creation of the University of Slavorek - While my brother focuses his efforts on attracting the academics, I will take care of the material side of things - to create the university complex, with its libraries, campuses and all it needs to be the greatest academy in this region of the world, a place where the learned men of Slavnia and beyond come to share knowledge and develop new ideas, a project from which both sides of the realm will prosper. +20(STE)

My brother and I have discussed the matter and have reached a diplomatic consensus - a noble's individual buildings on either side of the river are taxed normally by the local tax authorities. No additional or excess taxes, no special red tape - your property rights are respected and everyone can be happy and cease complaints.


If the above is not considered an action, my third action will be:
Our first recruitment drive, seeking to expand the ranks of the Knyazdom's army shall begin. We have a massive amount of potential manpower to draw on - what we must strive to do is to find the brave and the fit and to inspire them into serving the people in the army. Our goal is to have our professionals train the current recruits, who in turn will pas on their experience to the next batch when time comes The goal is to have our army reach 3000 footmen, 3000 spearmen, 1500 archers at least.

>The needs of my people come before my own concerns, organise a response to the plague! (STE)
Friedrich is clearly frustrated by this terrible plague. He sits up in his bed and lets out a long exhausted sigh. "Without the people, I will be a ruler of ghost towns and ruins." he thinks to himself. He stands out of bed and orders a servant to fetch the steward. Shortly after, he orders the steward to organise a great counter measure against the plague. The steward nods his head and rushes to fulfil his lord's order.
>1. Construct a hospital in Eisenburg (+7)
When Freidrich inherited the lands from his father, he never expected such great tragedy to befall his people. But. He inherited a great amount of money which he can use to stop the deadly sickness in the country. The construction of a hospitat in the capital will start immediatelly.
>2. Construct a quarantine in Opstadt (+7)
Opstadt is an important mercantile center for Hocheisen. It's a city used for export and import therefore it's vulnerable to the spread of disease. A quarantine should stop the diseased from entering the country or exiting it.

The borders of the countries and the walls of cities become closely guarded. Civilians visiting towns are looked over to find signs of the plague and the same thing is done to the travellers from foreign countries.

It is a sad day when the Nephilim must judge their own., but some days, this happens. In the city-state of Belazza, situated between the Nephilim, Epolora and the Nobile Republic, some of your people have used their great size to raid a hamlet, using violence and spilling blood to take what is not theirs. Knowing your reputation as a lover of peace, the Patrician of Belazza has sent the captured Nephilim to you, along with a cadre of soldiers to keep them under control and a lawyer to plead their case according to law. You have heard the case of both sides, and it is clear your people are in the wrong. However, Belazzan law demands the death penalty for these crimes; though Nephilim law does not, the Belazzans have made it very clear they claim jurisdiction and will not take it well if you do not follow suit. What is your judgement?

Sultan Muaddib allows the stranger to stay at his court for the time being. As an Arsham, particularly one who may be a sorcerer or shaman of some kind he must be watched carefully and treated with cautiously, but that does not mean he cannot be useful in some ways. The Sultan makes it clear to both the stranger and the other witnesses present that him remaining is in no way a sign of favour or acceptance unless he can prove himself first. The Sultan orders his shamans to keep a close eye on this individual.

2: Peace has remained between the six great clans for some time, but it is always uneasy, and minor feuds on the borders happen on a daily basis without anyone worrying. However, rumours from outside the mountains suggest the Arsham are having an eventful time, and their actions may affect the Sultanate. Unity may be required in the face of this. The Sultan invites the heads of the other great clans to visit him and share food and drink in the name of friendship. (increase stability +10 Diplomacy)

3: The warriors of the Sultanate are hardy men, willing to follow any order from the noblemen who lead them and ready to lay down their lives for the Sultan and his people.

You decide to hear the Westerners' grievances and follow Staunen to the throne room. Before you stands a man in strange yet clearly ornate clothes, though they are muddy and torn. Next to him stands a tall man in simple grey robes, looking at you haughtily. Off to the other side, subtly blocked off by your guards, stand several clearly infuriated peasants.
"My Liege!" one of the commoners, a man of the cloth by the looks of it, shouts before you even sit down properly, "This... this foreign scum has committed the ultimate heresy! While we were thanking the spirits of the Sea Animals for our bountiful catch, he walked up to the yet-unblessed nets and"- the man's face is red now, and he's slightly foaming at the mouth, "he-he ATE one of the fish!"
If this is true, this is a grave situation - eating unblessed animals is considered an offence worthy of death by the priests of Breinland.
You motion to the priest to be quiet and gesture for the Westerner to start speaking. He immediately begins to rattle off in some strange tongue you don't understand, but by the tone of it, he's not wishing you a blessed day. Once his tirade is over, the man in the robes begins to speak.
"My master is upset over his treatment by your..." he stops for a moment, staring at the peasantry with disdain, "...people. He was testing the catch they had brought in to sell him, and when he did, a mob set upon him and his companions. His clothes, very expensive ones at that, are torn, and some of his fellow travellers are injured. We demand recompense in gold, and the head of the instigator of this rabble!" he says, pointing at the priest.

Archduke Joshua Kiel sat in his high seat at the Council Hall, as he had many times before. The Duchess of House Suivdab had finished giving her report on their House's effort to improve production as requested last meeting. When she finished, Joshua motioned that he had a proposal, and the assembly turned their attention to him. He did not begin speaking, and instead stood from his seat and walked over to one of the large windows in the room. He pulled open a curtain, letting the mid-afternoon sun fill the room, overpowering the lamps and candles currently flickering. "My associates, look and you can see it from here. Half the Residential District is rubble, almost completely so for the Markets. We seek to foster trade and citizenship here in the capital, yet our people have no place to live or sell their goods." He turned and looked at the assembled councilors. "I propose a fund be established to levy architects and builders, drawn from the treasuries of our six Houses. A fund to repair and renovate our once shining capital. Once that is done we shall move on to Freiburg and Stonehold, until the scars of war are a distant memory." The Archduke returned to his seat and opened up the floor for debate. As the Houses began making their points, his mind wandered to ways he could convince the peasants of remote hamlets to contribute to the Republic's economy.

>1. Propose and begin the establishment of the Royal Architecture Corp.
>2. Send agents to hamlets around the republic, advocating farmers to bring more their crops to town to sell as opposed to keeping around for themselves

Since I am waiting for my turn, I figured I would post more of an introduction and backstory for my last post.

. . .

The giants were brought before Enoch who sat on a stone on a hill in the center of Babel. He sat with a group of elders, all bearded and dressed in animal furs. When told of the news, Enoch held his head in his hands for a few moments before letting out a long sigh, standing up and speaking up to the sky. "God, please tell me what to do with these giants. They are your children, but they have disobeyed your laws. I ask for your guidance my Lord."

As Enoch stood on the hill, God's voice came to him. "Enoch my son, these giants have disobeyed my laws; and therefore, are no longer my children. It is because of these giants that you must prove your fidelity to me. On this day you shall write down my laws for all to see. Anyone who disobeys them shall be cast from my kingdom." When Enoch opened his eyes, only the whites were visible. He picked up a stone tablet from nearby and began to write down what God told him. "You shall have no other Gods..."

When Enoch was done, he held the tablet in the air and his voice boomed through the city. "Let it be known, these are my laws! Anyone who disobeys them will be excommunicated from my kingdom! These giants are not welcome here! Do what you will to them!"

After closing his mouth, God spoke to Enoch once more. This time through Enoch and Enoch's voiced sounded once again through the city "My children, you have disappointed me! Due to your lust and greed, you must redeem yourselves to me before entering my kingdom! On this hill you shall build a tower in my name! It shall reach heaven and only from there you may enter my kingdom!" This time after closing his mouth, Enoch collapsed onto the ground.

Huh, I remember this quest. Glory to Portlage!

Élise de Rouén herself rode out with a few junior commissars. For a few days she had mulled over a response to Troitse's outburst. At first, she had nearly signed the order to have him removed. Then, she had debated paying him off. She found the former brutish and the latter a disgrace to the revolution. She would not act like the nobles and monarchs of the past. She had been entrusted with the Velka position after the battle of Lorraine. Despite being ruthless she was nothing less than as die-hard a revolutionary as Troitse. After-all, she had sold her lands and murdered her own father for the cause. She'd been hung for the cause, and bore the scars of that around her thin neck. She'd shot men and stabbed men and sold her dearly held dignity for the cause. What hurt her more than anything was the accusation from a comrade that she sought to crown herself. Seething with anger, she galloped faster toward the meeting place that Troitse and she had agreed upon. Her entourage, startled, galloped hard in her wake. So this continued for the rest of the day. Eventually the party settled down at a road-side tavern in a small town not far outside of Lyonesse. She was joined by the local Velkor as well as the local commissar. Together they broke bread, and Élise filled them in with news from the capitol.

The next morning her party continued their trek east. Their objective was not Lyonesse itself, but rather a smaller village on the outskirts, near an abandoned chateau. They arrived not long after noon. Élise, a seasoned veteran of both conventional combat and guerrilla campaigns, could feel the eyes of the Troitseits on her back, following her party up the road. Indeed, she could hear their horse moving along behind. Soon, after they felt comfortable with her numbers, they emerged. A dozen riders behind, and nearly seventy foot emerged along the path. Some had handgonnes, other crossbows. Yet more had spears, swords, and axes. Élise raised her hands from her reins.

"Peace, comrades. I mean no harm." She nodded to the commissars with her. Wordlessly, they removed their sword belts and handed them off to the footmen who had come to taken them from their hands. Their escort led them up the path to the chateau and took their horses when the party dismounted.

The chateau was in remarkably good condition. It had been spared the torch of the Troitseits. The interior had mostly been stripped, but a few items of furniture and art remained. The place was dusty, and had clearly been not been lived in for some time given the cobwebs and rats they clung to the shadows. Troitse sat at the head of a long dining table. Cups of wine were being poured as Élise came to the doorway. She looked in, and a gentle smile crossed her lips. Léon stood from his chair. While he did not smile he did move to meet the Velka Commissar. They kissed both cheeks in polite fashion, then embraced. Pulling away, the pair took their seats.

>>1885388
"Comrade, I do wish you had not brought me out here under such circumstances." Élise began. She rested both palms down on the table, looking at Léon with her wide blue eyes. "It does no good to the Revolution if we fight each other."

"I am aware, Commissar." Léon replied. "You must understand, Commissar Rouén, my position. The Chambre de Commissariat's orders to sell the estates of the leeches reeks of monarchism. These belong to the people."

"The Commissariat is the people, Léon." Élise sharply retorted. "We are elected by the Velkors, representatives and headmen from every village, town, and city in Karlisé. Everything we do is of the people, by the people."

"Power centralized in the hands of the Commissariat is a betrayal to what we fought for, Élise. We did not replace the king and his lackeys to be ruled over by a Queen and hers. I know your birth, Countess Élise Valois de Rouén. You may have run in the circles of Revolution, but you will never be a true daughter of the peasantry." Léon leaned back in her chair, content to see the dagger he had plunged into the woman twist and the agony written on her lovely face.

Élise shifted between pain and anger. Pain that there were still comrades who did not believe in her fanaticism. Anger that Léon of all people would call her for it. Without realizing it she realized that her hand had drifted up to her neck. Despite the high collar of her uniform, the scar was still just barely visible. Between gritted teeth she spat, "You should know better, Léon. It was you who pulled the rope from around my neck." A silence grew between them. A silence Élise used to think. As the moment went by, she calmed herself and sat straighter in her chair. "I do not come here to speak of the past, Léon. I've come to speak with you. You are technically a Commissar, although you always did reject the war measures we instituted to win our freedom."

"What would we have to discuss, Commissar? I will not give up the revolution, even if you have. It is out of respect for our friendship I even acquiesced to this meeting." Léon replied.

"In some respects you are correct. Karlisé is no longer in revolution. We have passed that stage to running our own state. There are other states, millions or even tens of millions of peasants and commoners in this world that need the revolution. They need what we have to offer. I want to give it to them. The Republic will never be accepted by the other nations of this continent. We will always be on our own unless we can show the people of those nations what can be won for themselves. Karlisé exports lumber for now. I want to export something more valuable." Élise leaned forward, blue eyes glinting with excitement. "I want to export Revolution," She grinned a grin that looked more at home on a wolf than a young woman. "and I want you to help me do it."

Now Léon seemed interested.

Sometimes, however, this works to your disadvantage, as the scholars get bogged down in debates about minutiae when they should be copying the works.
>ETC: 5 Turns (Sustained Action - Roll Every Turn. Joint Project)
You set out to find recruits for your army in your land, and fortunately they are plentiful. Soon, the first regiment is recruited and equipped, and training begins as new recruits trickle in, forming other regiments and companies.

>DRAGONLORD EMBERBANE
The man that challenges you looks like he's been lured down a mountain with a hunk of meat. He's taller than most, to the point where you suspect he has Nephilim blood in him somewhere, and all muscle, carrying around a two-handed greatsword like it's nothing.
You are not a man of protocol, so you simply lead him into the fighting pits, greet him, and start hacking away. To your surprise, the hulking figure uses the zweihander in one hand, as if it were a one-handed sword. He is very strong and extremely skilled, but you are a Dragonrider, some of the mightiest fighters in the realm. After circling each other for a while, testing each other's defences, you find an opening and strike him in the guts. He grunts and counters with a blow that rakes your arm, forcing you to take a step back, and he uses the opportunity to bullrush you, slamming his tree trunk-sized shoulder into you, knocking the air from your lungs and slamming you onto your back. He jumps on top of you and you begin punching away, both ignoring your weapons now. You're fairly sure he knocked out some teeth and possibly broke your nose, but this is nothing new. You fake a flinch and catch his blow before countering with a knee to the groin. The man yelps and falls over sideways, giving you the chance tto turn the tables and jump on top of him. You start beating him senseless, before he eventually falls unconscious.
When he wakes, you offer him your hand - he fought well, and earned this courtesy. He smiles at you, his mouth missing even more teeth than before.
"You fight well, Dragonlord," he says, "never before have I seen a man take such a beating". He looks at you, expecting something; it is Frisgarlian tradition that if one fights well in a duel, the winner gives the loser a prize in acknowledgement of their skill.

>Traditions, schmaditions. Send him off.
>This man is a fearsome warrior, and I could use a bodyguard!
>With him at the helm, our ships would strike fear into the heart of any we raid - give him command of a ship!
>This man must lead our armies; a charge led by him would shatter any shield-wall!
>Other (Specify)

After this, you set out to look for your waste of a son. You find him a drunken sot, just kicked out of one of the least reputable taverns in the city. Business as usual, then. You pick him up, despite his protests, and dunk him into a nearby barrel of icy water a couple of times, holding him under a bit for good measure. Afterward, you shove an axe into his hands, which he struggles to lift - he's been skipping practice again, it seems.
Now, Dragonlord, who shall you raid?
>Set sail for Karlise!
>Land ho in Hocheisen!
>Deploy the fleet in Breinland!
>Set course for the lands of the Nephilim!

>>1886237
>ARCH-CAPTAIN FREDERICK
You rally your slightly less corrupt and more dependable scum and instruct them to figure out who the landlubber is that took your stuff from you. Within hours, you receive word that it's rumored to be the first mate of Captain Lowhand, a man infamous even amongst the black-hearted pirates of the Free Pirate-Dom. Rumor has it he's about to set sail and skip port!
>Dash over and confront his crew with yours! (PCS)
>Catch him at sea! (Martial)
>Sabotage his ship! (Intrigue)
>Other (Specify)

Whilst your spies are you, you decide to divert some treasure funds to, ahem, "Centres for Population Growth and the Lifting of Spirits". This proves wildly popular, as ladies who are (almost) guaranteed to not have STDs seem to attract far more pirates than your average back-alley harlot! The city feels more crowded already!
>Population Growth Level is now 18%. Please update the Ledger.

You round up some lads who seem to be halfway competent with a sword (not difficult) and at least slightly difficult to bribe (extremely difficult), and organize them into something vaguely resembling a force of law and order (mostly order). These Deputies are in charge of curbing the worst of the city's excesses, and slowly news of this newfound safety spread, and one or two merchant ships have even arrived to do business!

When Enoch finally opened his eyes, he was propped up against a rock with the elders surrounding him, waiting for him to speak. The stone tablet still rest neatly in his hands as the other elders found it too holy to touch. After a few minutes, Enoch finally spoke again.

"It was on this hill that I, Enoch, the first Nephilim, was born. It is here where we shall build a tower in all of God's glory. And, only from this spot may we enter heaven."

Enoch stood up slowly, using the stone for balance, and began to descend down the hill and through the city. The elders followed him closely, unsure of where he was going. The city's dirt road and stone houses were a stark contrast against the lush green rolling meadows that stretched to the horizon in all directions. The sound of trade carts, livestock and working Nephilim was drowned out by the beautiful melodies of street musicians and thier string and woodwind instruments. The crisp air and beautiful weather allowed for the delicious smells of baked goods to flow through the city. As Enoch walked, he passed giants painting, sculpting and writing literature in God's name and he blessed them, using gestures. The buildings around Enoch were simple, but each had its delicate intricacies and artistic aesthetics.

When Enoch walked out of the city and into the large pastures of cattle, goats and sheep. He turned to the elders and spoke again. "To build our tower to God's kingdom, we must be able to support our population growth and feed them. Beyond these pastures we must start growing grains to feed all Nephilim and its future generations."

Using his foot, Enoch shifted some dirt beneath him and dropped the stone tablet onto the ground. It rest neatly in road, acting a large paver that carts and foot traffic would pass over when entering the city.

"Lowhand's infamy will be his bloody downfall. Get the boys up and running! Load the guns! We're catching that filthy traitor!"
The Arch-Captain boards his flagship, The Argonaut's Maw. He sets sail in the direction of Lowhand's own ship. His thoughts are clouded by anger, but a silver of rationality makes its way through. Sinking that ship would just get his equipment down underwater.

>>Attempt to mediate a compromise. (Diplomacy)

"So we're clear, the spirits of the sea chose the fish as their emmisaries in the beginning; this is one of the bases of our theological teachings. We wait for them to be consecrated before consuming them, which both teaches us respect for that which we consider most holy, and patience. I have seen that the crowd has not been patient with you; and for that I apologize. However, I do ask that you and yours...? appreciate the fact that the peasants did this not out of disrespect towards your lord, but out of a perceived slight from him instead."

Breiner whispers in a servant's ear; retrieve fresh clothes for the man. It won't do to have a muddied noble ruining his most wonderful palace.

"Let us first get you medical aid before we continue on this line of thought. We'll see you treated here; guards, if you'd deal with the peasants for just a moment. Staunen, go with the nobles, I'll deal with the peasants and the clergy myself."

Well shit, the King thinks. He walks out to face Breinland, the brine, and the brawn of the peasants. Let's hear their side of the story; presumably the clergy are there too.

I'll keep working with the fisheries; perhaps they'll even realize that the noble meant no disrespect? Not that I care much; I just like more children under my command. Not that there were many adults to begin with.

It isn't enough for the matchlock to work. It needs to be superior. It needs to be easier to use, more powerful, more accurate, and easier to produce than the handgonne. If the arquebus is to be the weapon of choice for the Republic

The Prison and the area around it would be useful for the production and storage of firearms. With production and distribution centralized the Commissariat de Munitions could wield greater control over the nation.
