How is it that these Trow formed their staves? These are the questions your mages ask themselves as they continue to slave over the task you have set to them, making the process of creation of these magical weapons easier. The eureka moment comes at last for one mage, who upon sensing her soul, realizes that there are different elements inside of it. She cannot truly sense how many, or in what quantity, but they are there, and wagering something truly staggering, she puts her life on the line to test whether it is draining these pieces in proportion with each other that will allow this task to be done. Miraculously, it does, and she repeats it several times, damning herself to a life with greatly reduced power, but finally giving you the answer you were looking for at last.

While your project appeared to be going well for a time, with Makh-Khor's leaders agreeing to the town even finally being relocated somewhere away from the hell that is its current location in the Ashlands, ferals strike many as they move with their properties to their new home home. It is not known why, or how, but they appeared to have anticipated the move, and the town's population was brought down to between half and two thirds of the original number by the time they reach their destination. There is not enough for true infrastructure now, and some seek refuge further south in your own lands anyway.

Once again, your pool of recruits turns out to be a weakness. What you intended to be a group meeting for the purposes of morale instead ends with those you took on as the Fighting Falzers taking from you food, goods, and money. Perhaps it would be better just to let them go altogether...

Difficulty: Hard

While you manage to get some nobles in Moundtown to like you, some keep away from you; while your nations are working together, you remain historical rivals as well as enemies less than a decade ago, and more than that, you are at war with a common foe. It is not, in those opinions, time for schmoozing

While interacting with other nobles can net some degree of influence, it is another thing to try and get them to grant a boon to an entire group within a nation, especially one so distant away for which there could most likely be little reciprocation. For though the Lopenei here are not that of the West, they still value knowledge of the past and of magic, so your attempts at gaining aid in that do fail.

Difficulty: Normal

Despite this for all intents and purposes being a simple art piece, your attention to detail leads to a redo... and then another... and then a redesign... and then the next one to fall apart... by the end you are left with a rock with some hastily scribbled runes on it, which is proclaimed to be the cutting edge in art. Sources say this has to do with the fact that one end is pointy.

While the Vaneads are building what appear to be colonies in the Nakh lands, several things happen in quick succession at home, not least of which is the Lopenei asking for the right to settle on a small stretch of land on the lake. While they have coastal holdings, they state that trade in the lake would mean a foothold for moving further south where you are far from, which appears to be one of their future goals.

In the jungles of Reptia, scouts there have reported of a strange Vanead, whose body is partially earthen, and whose strength is beyond that of a normal man's. He appears to be, well, heading for the swamps, and with several men confirmed to be killed by him already, it is believed the Reptians won't try to stop him...

Because they are busy planning their own counterattack. In a bit of news that has shocked at least Ier (if not Isarn), the ghosts of both Thera and Dagh have been confirmed by the Archon to be assisting in the war now; while they were merely taking a strategic role before, they are finally willing to fight. A strange turn from ones who claimed to be peaceful not so long ago, but not an unwelcome one.

Lastly, you create the falx, a weapon not so dissimilar in design to our own khopesh; still, it is somewhat longer in both length and in its crook. When cutting into vegetative matter, this is sure to sting.

You focus once more on the recording of medical knowledge, extending this as far as is currently possible. As for the Vaneads, to them, it seems as if the conflict is over, with raids growing much less frequent. In fact, Reptia stops the preparations for assault, instead opting to begin building fortifications along the border. While expensive, in time, a large wall will be erected around the southern portions of the jungle, one that should supposedly stop further assaults. They proposes a return to peacetime relations in 5 years, but also suggests a mutual defense pact if and only if assaulted by the Vaneads... and, on top of that, agrees to cede the islands in the bay as well as previous borderlands, with the farmlands they have closest to you forming the edge of the new boundaries. In other news, the Lopenei thank you for the chance to settle on f lake, and give you news of a figure similar to the strange Vanead described before. It appears to be in their land, and what's more, looking for something.

>>2412156
This

(As people are going to sleep, going to cut thread early for the day. Before that though...)

With the agreement made, the dynamics of power have shifted; Reptia is not that much a lesser party, but its relationship with neighboring Isarn is in question as they presumably had a hand in forcing Reptia to give up lands, as is the extremely tense relationship you have shared with the same nation in the past. And the ceding of land so easily is also something questionable; but that will all unfold in the future.

For now a hunt, and for that, you need hunters.

Using the duel character design in the pastebin, please tell me who you're sending.

With Lopenei permission to enter their lands, the hunting party sets off at once, traveling along the curve of the river til they reach Capanok; from there, it is a short boat trip over the waters to arrive in the jungle proper. From here, the 33 of you are alone.

"We must learn of it's last location from the Lopeni"

As you tread into Lower Lopen, many of you are surprised at the number of ghouls here; while the grassland clearing is something that inevitably would have formed due to the amount of wood needed to sustain the giants, you had not quite thought that another reason could be the ghoul population. Indeed, for every Lopen giant, there is a Lopen ghoul here; and though not as prominent for obvious reasons, the wood and stone houses of ghouls are properly found around their much larger counterparts.

However, you're not here for sightseeing; you are here for that strange Vanead. As some of you spread out into small parties, you visit the government buildings, the markets, and more, in search of anything that could aid your search...

NORMAL SUCCESS

The most useful by far out of all the search groups was that of Garro Falzer, quickly seeking out hunting groups in the area to hear their stories. What they had to tell was odd; strange mounds erected in places they shouldn't be; large holes causing the deaths and injuries of multiple companions; and words scrawled from the entrails of animals onto jungle bark in an unknown script. One man described his own encounter with the beast, but the thing did not attack; rather, it croaked out in a voice belonging to a ghoul, or perhaps a giant, "Where has my ring gone," before disappearing into the undergrowth. Those of you who went to the market heard wilder things, like strange sobbing, cries of "father", and crashes against the wall of the settlement where in the morning damage impossible to be done by a mere animal would be found. Lastly, you heard that the beast was around the northern shores of Lake Larope...

As you descend south towards the initial places being settled by the Lopenei, the question of what exact value the ring holds to the monster comes up. Another of those who received rings before the Light, only to be cursed by it? An ancient artifact perhaps? Linked to the Ringborn, even? All of these and more are brought up as the shores of the lake, and the houses there, finally come into view. Once more, you split up and search for clues.

The tales here are mostly similar to those you've heard before, though one piece in particular does stick out; the beast has been spotted heading towards your own settlement on the lake, Taerok. However, it may be aiming to travel along the river, as reports as you move to the easternmost Lopenei settlements seem to indicate.

You move quickly to the town, but when you arrive there, it is too late; the beast is gone, but its signs, as well as the storm of discussion it has caused, remain. The port town, that now finally has a trading partner in the Lopenei settlements, has large stone walls due to the tribals nearby, but here, elements are crumbled, or perhaps withered. Odd, really; for these walls were constructed in the not too distant past. However, the guards on watch when the damage occurred swear on their mothers' graves that the beast placed its hand on the wall before it came crumbling down; once the debris settled, it was gone, and as people murmur, it had entered the city. Here, a work of art featuring Lar was defaced, and the beast spotted all over the place, before hunters returning from a night time hunt reported it moving northwards along the river. It has only been a few days since then.

As you carry on through the jungle, the flora gives way to your blades, hacking and slashing until finally you reach a small clearing, one with... pawprints? It's something like that. Tracking that, you move for several further days, until, one night, as Algoren is on watch, he spots something. As he wakes you up, he mutters, "It's here~." Rustling in the bushes begins almost immediately, as large rocks rain down against your campsite from seemingly everywhere, extinguishing your fire. Fortunately for you, that's more useful than it is harmful, as you grab your weapons and look around to spot the beast...

Most of you spot it nearly immediately, as it suddenly appears at the edge of the clearing, as if taunting you. Still, as you charge at it, it has the prescience to run from you all, despite its apparent strength. Its appearance is exactly as you had heard; like the most modern Vaneads, yet clad, or perhaps made of, Rok. Its size, however, you were not expecting. It stands as tall as a giant!

While the beast is strangely lightfooted, its steps often seemingly masked as it flits around from place to place, your eyes are sharper; yet, you still wonder, can this be attributed to magic? For its movements, if real, are seemingly impossible by any normal means. A few of you land blows against its legs, and it howls in something that sounds like the culmination of three voices: that of a giant, a ghoul, and a Vanead. Yet, with your weapons torn out either by your own choice or by the speed at which the thing moves, it keeps running, though slower now. Its footsteps crash once more as the hunt continues.

For clarification, he'll drink the blood and maybe and insides that are fleshy and edible.

With spears buried deep into its neck, the horrific Khop-Dagh-Thera-Vanead abomination sighs one last time, and its voices speak out all at once. Some of you hear "father", others, "we are free". The Vanead, or whatever it said, goes unheard, and an eerie silence washes over the forest. Your dissection of the unnatural entity carries on until the early hours of the morning, but as you finish, you find little valuable. Those of you who drink the blood notice nothing unusual; perhaps blending blood ruins the potency? Others who eat of the being are similar. As for what it looks like, well, it's a miracle it got this far as is, with half of it oozing uncontrollably, and the other half dividing that ooze... yet the path of destruction it left remains all the same. As you return home, the birds finally begin to chirp, and the bugs buzz. All the same, the sun's light makes the day feel none the lighter.

***

Later reports suggest that the thing had also been spotted by the Isan settlements very shortly before you came; which, speaking of, the Tyrant has managed to get the Isans incorporated into the Tyranny. Though many protest this change, it merely solidifies influence already held in the territory, though in time, they may gain a Sub-Concord of their own. Elsewhere, a boat carrying many of the Riverisa and the House of Ivory has been lost while exploring the seas, and explorers to the south, led by the Falzers, missing as well. Perhaps in time you will hear of them... then again, perhaps not. However, Spring is here, and with it, a return to greater harvests.

The Law of Land
All land within Ier is owned by the Tyranny and through that the people.

Right of Settler
The first settlers of a land gain full rights to as much of it as they can make use to, all unexploited land is considered open to all Ieran citizens to develop and settle.

Right of the Sub-Concord
Each Sub-Concord has the right to decide who many settle within their district and any economic activity within it. They may also able to charge fees to allow settling within their district.

Right of the Tyranny
The Tyranny many seize for any land for use by the state as long as compensation in either equally valuable land or monetary compensation is given to its current inhabitants.

Right of the Citizen
Every citizen has the right of movement within the borders of Ier and no force below the Concord of Blood may infringe upon this.
Enforcer Reform

The Enforcers as the exist shall be changed fundamentally. A College of Enforcers will be formed within the Trinity District and all Enforcers within Ier will be required to travel there and spend at least one year training before being allowed to fulfill their role. A rigorous test involving determination of loyalty, intelligence and physical ability will be held for all who wish to become Enforcers. Each town and city will be assigned a new Judicator who will act as the leader and organizer of the enforcers in the area. After the death of the current Chief Enforcer a gathering of Judicators will be called and candidates a list of candidates put forward to be chosen from by the Concord of Blood.

Creation of the College of Scribes

The current Tyranny lacks proper cataloguing of our resources and population numbers, thus the creation of the College of Scribes is a necessary task. With a new building built in the Trinity district the College of Scribes will train new Scribes who will with the assistance of the Enforcers work towards the the collection of taxes, recording of votes and organization of our irrigation systems. To become a Scribe one must pass a rigorous test on loyalty, Ieran law and general intelligence.

Creation of Law Halls
Law Halls will act as the hubs of law and order in Ier with each major village having one constructed. This building will act as a place for the Enforcers and Scribes to organize their efforts and to allow people someplace to come to air grievances.


Military Reform

The military shall be broken up into units of ten who shall among themselves elect a leader who shall be known as a Pact with their leader being called a Binder. One Hundred men shall also be voted one by the 10 Binders from among their own to form a Covenant under a High Binder. Ten Covenants shall come together to form a Host which will have a leader appointed by the Tyrant or Sub-Tyrant which will be known as the Autarch.

>>2435713
Creation of the College of Magi

The College of Magi will be created within the Trinity district for the training of future generations of Magi. It is every mages duty to serve Ier and thus all those who possess the power of magic will be sent there coming there sixteenth birthday to train their arts among the faculty of the school. Each student is expected to study for a total of ten years training and spend twenty years in the service of the Tyranny before being given the option to continue employment or follow their own paths. Families will be given a modest salary for children sent to join the college. A Headmaster will be appointed by the Tyrant to administer the school.

A wide reaching and somewhat popular reform is passed, though it does put a strain on resources, government coffers, and more, especially as a census is had to determine the population of the Isans, as well as that of Makh-Khor... some see these moves as over-extension on the government's part, and as a problem.

The Falzer Clan would like to buy 17 ships during the auction.

Clan sholzgaetor will take 15 of the ships.

With many ships being sold, an absurd amount of buyers with too much money on their hands participate in the auction, only for the higher taxes to come out and further reduce their wealth. While some protest this, most are fine with their boats... until they realize they had been mothballed for years, and weren't in the best shape to begin with.

In other news, the government has put a sign out front of all Law Halls. It reads, "no refunds."

More work on agriculture has led away from the fields and into the waters, as more complicated systems of in-water fences have made larger scale fish farms more viable. As it is not reliant on the river and the irrigation system utilized there, this also means that a fresh source of food is generally available throughout the year.

Difficulty: Very Hard
One of the more interesting pieces of magical research revealed to the public with the Creation of the College of Magi is the Temple of Thera's research into the soul. They found several remarkable things regarding it, which appears to be the source of magical power. Apparently, the method to create magical weapons involves the carving of runes on them before imbuing them with part of a mage's soul; however, they can only be used by that mage. Likewise, one can control the bodies of animals of a certain size if the amount of soul within the animal that is put there by the mage and belongs to the mage is larger than that of the animal; the larger the animal, the larger the soul. However, to do so, one must concentrate, and will become vulnerable to attacks, with control fading as they grow more distant from their animal who they have created a "bond" with. However, more soul in an animal means more control; this is likewise with the weapon, where a similar concept is shown, as well as more soul meaning more power when magic is used in conjunction with it... Most shockingly, one could even transfer their entire soul over into a corpse, and control it. It is unknown, however, where souls go during death. Only mages can control their soul as such, and it is a dangerous process; yet, the benefits are massive. It may even revolutionize scouting entirely. If the animal or weapon is destroyed, the soul would disappear, and the mage would lose a part of their soul, thus losing magical power permanently, though the soul can slowly regrow over time, with higher level mages more capable of this regrowth. However, even with an imbued staff or a bond with, say, a dingo, the mage themselves would lose magical capabilities in their own body as their soul, obviously, would be smaller.

In this case, however, Yori's bonded fish showed its limitations, though that may also have to do with the lead the group was following. While the Isan knowledge of magic was limited, they had weathered maps of old, one of which placed a great place of study of the subject somewhere in the southeast waters, beyond the charted sea. Setting out, the group found little sign of land, but when the fish went down to explore, the ruins below were unheard of. Skeletons of various sizes lay below, often piled on top of each other, with rocky debris of what could have been houses strewn about as if the toys of giants.

As the group delved further into the breach, they saw the peaks of sunken mountains, still standing defiantly against the battering they must have been given during the Light. There, the school stood, ancient and magnificent... with uncountable Vaneads living in the buildings surrounding it, as well as it itself. As the fish ventured in, they found the carcass of a construction completely stripped, with their only light being plants casting rays into the depths they had found themselves in; the Vaneads must have ransacked it, they thought, yet as they turned to venture back, they felt a sharp pain in their gut, as their fields of vision narrowed. A triumphant Vanead stood, spear in hand, having impaled the bonded fish. As they awoke with a jolt, Yori's group left as soon as they came, anxious to leave these dark and occupied waters while they still lived...

Ah, and a clarification of magical terms, briefly:

Warlock = Blood Mage
Enchanter = Bonding Mage
Elemental = Element Mage

Other terms such as wizard, sorcerer, mage, etc. are just general terms I may use.

Also, scratch the corpse stuff.

With a decade's work on optimization of the basin system, you know the best ways to handle the irrigation in winter and spring to stave off the poorer harvests during those seasons. In fact, with recordings made of the water levels each year, you think you may be able to produce an estimate of when each season will arrive a few years in advance.

Dach'ren returns with a simple work of bronze and thin rope wrapped around a wooden pole; a double-sided spear. Yet, as you look at it, the work appears to be a lot more elaborate than you might expect; details are beautifully etched on the wood, the metal, and even the gripping rope. Whoever designed this was a master craftsman, and though Dach'ren does not know his name, he originated in Long Island, the Reptian held territory in the middle of the ruined continent.

Faction Project (Ash Walkers, the Brotherhood)
Difficulty: Hard-Very Hard, Normal
Though the Brotherhood attempts to deal with the Arachenians, they refuse, citing a recent decision by their council to not trade with Ier, or at least only through the Lopenei; with the House of Ivory having spiders, they believe that the nation has violated the law of nature which they follow. However, with this in mind, they propose a return of the spiders with you as the mediators, in order to obtain the robe. With you being aware Ner Yuz owns spiders as well, you begin there, but it soon turns into an argument over the cruelty dealt to the spiders with the runes carved into them, as the Arachenians who chose to accompany you growing stony-faced as time went on. However, it soon turned ugly as one member of the Brotherhood threatened one of the Ash Walkers; it is unknown who threw the first punch, but the end result was dead spiders, Arachenians, Ash Walkers, and Brotherhood members, in a diplomatic crisis that is now unfolding.

While siege weapons before now were considered mostly unimportant, as major cities become increasingly walled off, things such as siege towers are now in demand. A construction that are naturally clunky in design, they are transported by soldiers protected by the weapon itself as they transport it. When they reach their destination, a ladder allows for quick transport of troops up the tower, and with a gangplank or other makeshift bridges providing a way to get over the walls, troops can assault cities without relying on breaking down gates. In other news, the spider population appears to be growing untenable in Ier, as the birthrates of the creatures often are between 50 and 60 for ones the size of goats, the spawn rate varying inversely to size depending on the specific breed. Due to the amount they eat as well as the fact that these creatures are wild and often escape captivity, many have begun to harass farmers along the river, ruining crops for harvest and breaking down doors for food. At the same time, the Arachenian-Brotherhood-Ash Walker conflict remains unresolved, with tensions high, and Ierans are calling for a gnoll purge once more.

With a purge greatly reducing the number of gnolls back to the routine number of 5%, some proponents of purges are suggesting that it is done every few years, when the population exceeds 15%. For the spider purge, the Bloodguard as well as farmers begin a ruthless slaughter of the beasts, with the Arachenians backing it on the basis that "Death, too, is a rule of nature." Indeed, it appears that in the wild they themselves kill the beasts as well. However, some still remain, and while the Arachenians understand at this point the Ieran government will take care of that, they still think the supposed recklessness of the House of Ivory as well as the Ash Walkers procludes trade with those two groups. The Councilors, however, do receive their silk. At the end of the year, the Arachenians also suggest a partnership with the government, as they can communicate with the spiders (as well as being the best equipped to track them), and can deal with the transportation and extermination of the rest of the population.

The Tyranny of Ier would like to extend the offer to the Lopeni Confederacy to become a Protectorate. While we share mutual free trade and defense treaties the Tyranny has noticed in past wars a lack of proper troop standard and organization. The Tyranny would seek the ability to organize Lopeni’s military into a stronger more modern force while guaranteeing the states independence on all internal affairs. This would include the Lopeni paying a portion of their tax revenue to the administration of this army by the Lopeni, an amount which is open for debate with the Tyranny suggesting 25 percent.

While the Lopenei would likely agree to this deal, their reply does not immediately assent. They ask about diplomatic relations, and would request a Sub-Concord for the Isans, who were a former ally of theirs.

The Tryanny shall grant a Sub-Concord to the Isan while the Lopeni would have the ability to make trade treaties with any nation they see fit the declaration of war and other alliances must be also rectified by the Tyranny.

The Lopenei assent to the deal, marking a shift in terms of the power dynamic of the relationship between your nation and theirs; in fact, it appears two distinct blocs are forming, the Ieran and the Isarnite ones. While in time this may matter more, the only thing residing in the minds of Ierans now is the heat with which summer makes itself known.

In the spring heat, salt is easily acquired by the means of the sun, but where you are tripping up is production in a way that acquires purely salt and not sand. Though, perhaps Ieran salt having a particular crunch is not a bad thing.

>>2439629
Go for it

As you train the giants in military practices, other groups take notice, especially the Isarnites; in joint operations with the Reptian military, they too begin practicing their own drills. In other news, the missing members of the expedition launched by the House of Ivory and the Riverisa finally return; apparently, there is a large island chain stretching for quite a distance southeast of the Nakh lands, the remnants of another area of the continent devastated in a second disaster... this confirms what the Nakh had said regarding the lands south of them before, and also coincides with the waves that had reached your shores and caused the previous gnoll tribes to partially collapse. The reason they hadn't returned sooner was the presence of Vaneads roughly 3/4ths of the way north in these islands, called the Shattered Islands. In the recent summer though, the dangers of the Vanead infested waters lessened for some reason, and the survivors of the expedition moved northwards during that time, back to the Nakh lands, and from there, home.

General economic thought of the time is dominated by the different currencies used in each nation, with each currency representing a certain object when it comes to price exchange; however, with the advent of the government reimbursing those who have property seized during war, along with the trade war that had previously occurred with Reptia, the ideas relating to these currencies has changed. Removing money from a market appears to cause its value to go up, while increasing it makes it less valuable. This has changed the moral thought of the time, that producing more money to give to the poor is a good thing, and gives credence to the idea that the government should be in charge of money, as that way the average person is not as badly affected by economic shifts; combined with the already existent cultural tendency to give authority to the government, this provides a mandate to the Tyranny that perhaps would not exist, say, in Reptia or Isarn, which have more free markets.

While settlements along the river as well as Makh-Khor and Khoril are easily able to dispose of waste into the open sea, other settlements, such as that of the oasis, are less able to do so, either as it would contaminate the only source of open water, or there is no water available. In the end, it is suggested that fecal matter and other decaying matter be used as something like manure, so it is easily storable with soil. As such, separate compost sites are created this year, to be used and expanded hereafter for the purposes of creating better soil and removing sewage.
