Using the aqueduct system and the Ierans ample knowledge of water mechanics due to their expertise in irrigation we shall seek to construct a sewer system within Ierok. Using a combination of clay brick pipes and several larger reservoirs. Drains will line the main streets with public toilets built with the option for wealthier families to invest in indoor plumbing such fresh basins and constant flow toilets. Water Magi will be used periodically to flush out the system and keep it free from sediments. Poorer households will be able to pour their chamber pots into the main drains.

Building a working, if somewhat mechanically complex water system, Ierok is the first city in the known world to have such a remarkable system. The Isans say that the sunken city known to be in Lake Larope once had similar functions, but that is the past. This is the future, and once more, Ierans prove themselves more than capable of intricate constructions.

A gesture of good faith to your protectorate ensures that their own needs are provided for, though their location ensures that maintenance will be something needed moreso than in Ier. Still, their chieftain thanks the Tyrant profusely, and why not? Such a project does not come cheap in resources and wealth, especially as they do not have the existing irrigation base you were easily able to build off of yourselves. Elsewhere, on the northeastern edge of the continent, rumors swirl around the Isarnite town in a bay found in that region. Specifically, that humans were shipwrecked there, and attacked the villagers before being killed themselves.

In the halls they shall hear lectures of the battles of Ier’s past both the victories and follies of each generation. The records and writings of every military leader of Ier from Lar himself to the more recent exploits of Gaius Falzer against the Vanead shall be taught to the students.

In the fields of around Ful’Cana war games of all type shall be played with training a new constant for any ambitious youth that chose to join.

The House of Ivory has seen to the Rebuilding of Enkirok to make it a modern marvel. Fortunately construction methods have greatly improved since the time of its founding and thus the Painted have enforced the walls with stone but the majority of their efforts have been put into the area below... Opening the Caverns up into wider areas and corridors, expanding the pools around the cracks through which fresh water flows, supporting their works with pillars turning the jagged winding caverns into smooth walled and stepped open areas. Not a raw cave but a truly refined place to live. [Also using the Temple of the Deep Earth Magi to give us a hand and practice their own stuff if they want I dunno]

Difficulty: Normal
While the College has been established, the amount of students leaves some things to be desired. As various towns and cities founded by the main families of Ier have led to dispersal of their lines far from the capital, it has meant that the initial classes have been smaller. Still, with the graduates being well off, it is likely that each wave of new children will have higher numbers, as they can afford to sponsor more than one child.

Personal Project
Difficulty: Hard
The travel out to the city is easy enough, but Isan rowers on board your vessel do warn your magi to be wary of the serpent. In recent times, he has born a grudge against ghouls, for whatever reason; and more than that, they say that it is impossible to truly harm him. He is the last survivor of a race that lived in these lakes before even the ghouls arrived there, who were borne on the standards of the Old Isans. You suppose you probably should have asked the Isans before trying to hunt the beast. No matter.

As your fish easily swim through the well lit waters, you see the aqueducts of rumor. They line the broken streets below, which makes you wonder as to how they functioned on the island the city supposedly sat on in the lake. Surely there wasn't a river there, right? Still, as you continue onward, you identify the serpent in the distance... sleeping? You can't tell from this distance, but you'd rather not take chances, as you enter interesting looking buildings that aren't blocked off by broken stone. While most have eroded rock and faded mosaics, one you enter does contain a partially broken but masterfully crafted stone map, which at its full size you imagine would be the size of a huge table. While you know most of it, with the elements missing woefully being areas of the world as of yet unknown to your explorers, there is one interesting detail. Far to the north, there lies a large, unfinished shore of some sort... a shore at least the size of the northern shores of the pre-Light continent. You suppose that must be where the humans came from, then.

As you hear the beast stirring in the background, the concentration of the magi breaks; but as you leave, you do so a bit more enlightened of the past.

Hit me up with questions about locations on the map in Discord, if you need to, as you probably saw a few more that interested you that aren't present there today, either due to the fact that the area is sunken, or other reasons...

The fact that Enkirok, at least for a short time, was left in its ruined form means that cleanup as well as construction into anything resembling a modern marvel would be hard, at best. While you rebuild to the best of your ability, at least the widening of the Caverns and smoothing of the walls among other more decorative pieces must be taken up at a different time. Still, most of the groundwork is now there; the rest merely needs to be completed.

People initially complain about the lack of sand in their salt, and after a large debacle involving New Sand and Sand Classic, the public eventually decided that maybe they needed their teeth for things after all. As salt is a particularly lucrative market, you find it responds well at home and in Lopen, but Reptia and Isarn are harder markets to get into for the trade. Still, you have made some progress there, and cities such as Azh-Al rely on you rather than the trade stemming from Isarn.

The Archon of Reptia is dead, and by an unseen assailant's hand. While official diplomatic correspondence does not immediately point the finger at Ier, the wording makes it more than clear. Another discovery is that the Reptians, among others, also have soul mages, and one of theirs has an ability yours do not; aura reading, which apparently is particular to each and every soul. Still, whoever carried out the assassination was successful, and as the first images of Rok as man are made (in and of itself quite controversial), your neighbor mourns a beloved leader as a new election begins. They also have begun the fires in the jungle, now that the wall has been constructed around it, hopefully forcing the Vaneads back to the sea.

As you all prepare your supplies, the first government funded foray into the south will begin as the sixth month of the year arrives; and an interesting one it will be at that. Of all those who have ventured into the southern jungles, two have emerged alive, and they both spoke of the same area. The rest, apart from that, is completely unknown. As you meet at the gates of Ierok though, a question still remains as to the path you'll take. The grasslands are spread out before you in the green-grey light of morning, and you spend some time discussing the issue before carrying on.

Heading south to Taerok, you quickly make your way through the jungle, and in just a few days, you arrive as the sun dims. While it misses the marks from the strange Khop-Vanead monstrosity put down during the hunt several years ago, there is still an aura of tension over the place, as increased tribal activity in the jungles southeast of it; jungles out of the Tyranny, and thus, presumed to be full of hostiles. Yet, as you leave the following morning to skirt the coast, your group pays no attention to that fact. Day after day, you travel, quickly turning into weeks due to the fact you had to leave your pack animals at Taerok, until you finally reach the Painted settlement on the southern shores of Lake Larope. It is a strange place, where gnolls act quite freely; eliciting some disgust from the party members. Still, you stay there for the night, resupplying before the 21 of you are well and truly heading out into the unknown...

Your journey begins rather uneventfully, the only true regret being that as you have no coast by your side, you have no way to know if your navigation is in fact true as you continue due what you think is south. Here, the verdant forest gives way to green hills, and food is plentiful. You haven't found signs of any population though, and that is worrisome; for if no one lives here, it must be for a reason. Still, you carry on...

CRITICAL SUCCESS on DC: 75

This time, a bit more happens as you intrude further into this area of the deep jungle; initially just coming across ruins, you discover the skeletons of giants, small arrows lying next to them, presumably having peppered their bodies at some point in the past. Gnoll made, it would seem. Still, these are left behind as you encounter more interesting architectural feats, though nothing like what you'd associate with the tribals; but perhaps groups before them. Strange statues of immense size and varying material like jade, stone, and even some you don't recognize are the most significant of them all, attributable even to the Old Isan empire that spanned the continent before the Light. However, after a while, the ground seems to slant, and that is when you come to a great river; one, that if your vision is to be believed, stops your passage any further, though land lies on the other side. The hills next to you have grown into mountains now, but what you see as it connects to the flow is shocking; one of the great hunks of rock appears to have been torn apart, with half on either side of the river... meaning this body of water must not have existed before the Light.

What will you do?

Climb the mountains so we can get a better view of the area

Ascending some way up a smaller mountain ("smaller"), it takes several days, especially as your throat grows ragged and the air thinner. Still, it is a wonderful view, as the blue of the river clashes against the moss covered rock faces on both sides of the river, and carries on from your left (and thus east) to the right (west). Still, it is also troublesome for the rest of your journey; for while it is a beautiful sight, the river is dangerously fast, and the other side of the waters are about 6 or 7 feet above the shore on your end. The mountain chain does carry on though, and if your eyes don't deceive you, there is smoke in the distance... hooray for sunny days, you guess.

What will you do?

>>2454194
I don’t trust this smoke. Better head towards it.

>>2454194
Head towards it. Also keep an eye out for anyone else that might be climbing the mountains here

>>2454194
Head towards toward it carefully, maybe do a quick bit of hunting and foraging to build up some more supplies, eyes open lads...

>>2454194
Yeah let's head on over. Slowly and carefully. We should probably be extra on guard when we're within a closer area of the smoke. Who knows, we could run into someone guarding the perimeter.

>>2454194
Search up and down stream to see if theres a way to cross the river.

>>2454194
>>2454213
Well given a slight misunderstanding I think its time we tracked down and looked for a way across or moved to follow the river to see where it comes out to the ocean

Faction Project (+5 for religious building)
The fort in the jungle of the lsans shall be expanded with a proper shrine and accomodations for the faithful (a priest appointed by the High Priest, a band of brotherhood warriors and a score of humble accolytes that can till the soil and perform other needed tasks).

Personal Project
The High Priest upon receiving his gorgeous new weapon, orders the aging Dach'ren to set out again. His orders, to seek out this supreme weaponsmith (some whisper even greater than the finest smiths of the Khazirs) and place another order with him. A weapon to be given as a gift to the head of the lsan.

>Also maybe carve Rok himself into a statue of a Ghoul.
Try and I'll rip out your guts and shove them so far up your ass that I can do it all over again, creating an infinite loop.

As far as you can tell, the other side of the river is tilted upwards the entire way; however, at certain areas of the shore, there has clearly been some degradation of the top soil, meaning easier access upwards. There are two areas you can see, one closer to the mountains, and one not, but logistically, it's going to be tough to get everyone up, even if you had... oh, wait, there is a boat beached on the shore And if you're not mistaken, it looks to be Reptian made, though the arrows piercing into it makes it hard to tell whether or not it's river-worthy. After a quick examination, you determine it is, though the fact these arrows were clearly made by tribals is a bit worrying. While the vessel is larger than you need, this presents two problems. One, if you were to boost others up and onto the ledge, won't someone be carried down the river to an unknown fate? Two, if you were to do so, who would go last? It is most likely best to plan out your strategy before attempting it, and deciding on which route to take, and so you begin to discuss...

Direction
A. Path near the mountains
B. Path further from the mountains
C. Look for another way
D. Turn back

Though it goes unspoken, the leaders more or less decide that they're the priority while the rest can die... something that manages to slip by the rest of the men, who make the smart choice to come back once you reach the point that if they didn't, the boat would get swept away. You don't think they realized they were going to be used as sacrifices... you think. Out of those who departed on the trip, those who made it across are as follows:

- Maeko Dayr & the warlock
- The mapmaker
- Ullo & the Isan
- Delo Dzhuro
- Kar Capan
- Yahurum Sholaz (Centurion)

>We'll head Left btw

Your supplies will last you two weeks, you think, and you should be able to forage for more, assuming the flora and fauna are the same as on the other side of the river. Though, the party is wary of starting any fires; you never know what could be lurking out here. Heading once more to the left, towards the mountains, the smoke you had seen in the distance earlier has faded. While some among you worry it was a signal by the tribal gnolls signaling your arrival, you have seen neither hide nor... well, no hide since you made it to this side of the shore. It takes you about a day before you reach the base of the range, but once you do, you take a break as the sun dims and the color of the sky takes on its nightly green. There doesn't appear to be a path up to them, and with how steep the incline is in this area, you don't think you are up to the task of ascending here.

What will you do?

>>2475473
Its getting dark, they know we are here...they may be coming.
While we can't scale the mountain properly we might be able to find a cave or somewhere to hunker down for the night, i'm not keen on jungle predators. So we find somewhere to make camp and lay low, if we have a fire keep it hidden from view either in a cave or some other way i don't know.

You do manage to find a crevice created underneath two large rocks, which is where you set up camp for the night. Luckily, the Isan among you recognizes a certain plant; one that the tribe apparently often use when training elsewhere in the jungle. As each of you takes shifts, you observe different things in the leafy environment that surrounds your shaded location. For some, it is just the sounds of insects buzzing away unseen, but rustling in the bushes elicits one person in particular to throw a nearby stick at it...

Yahurum lets out a sigh of relief as something small and white moves out of the bush... only to be terrified as it comes swinging back in a moment later. What had appeared to be a small animal instead is something impaled on the hooked tail of a beast that has a shape like that of a man, though somewhat smaller, and with longer, twice jointed arms. Though its color is not discernible in the dim light of the night, the motion of the poor creature sliding off its horn seems to stun the watchman, as he stares it down. The body of the once white thing drops to the ground with a thump—something followed only milliseconds later by the howl of the monster.

One answered with countless other cries in the night, as Yahurum yells out, "Wake up!"

What can I say, she's a child

As all present withdraw some kind of weapon, it becomes clear that as much as your vision aids you in this fight, the thick trees remove that benefit. At first, they come one by one, some swinging from the trees straight towards you, others moving in from the bushes. Whatever they are, they aren't fools, as they attack from all around, yet by keeping your back to the crevice, you may be able to prevent yourselves from being encircled as the battle truly begins...

Delo lets out a sound about as terrifying as the screeches of the tailed things. Yet, as his spear sinks into one in particular, one of its peculiar arms navigates its way around the shaft of the weapon and break it completely... so instead he uses it as a bat.

"We should make a sport out of this," he heaves in between swings.

You appear to be finishing off a great number of them, yet, as the sky lightens, Yahurum sees smoke coming towards you. Something different, this time...

Maeko ducks down to take a swig of the blood from a fallen beast...

CRITICAL SUCCESS

The Isan soldier has to step in front of Maeko as she ducks down for a taste, though he does not appear very happy about it; he is the only one keeping her from receiving an execution style swing from one of the tails of these reddish-brown—or so it seems in the light—furred things. The others are more effective, whittling down the number of man-beasts until those remaining run off. The smoke seems all but forgotten, until Tjek throws a stone into the tree line, which is met by a rustle and the emergence of a gnoll, followed by more. Not many, but as one barks orders to some ten or so troops, you prepare yourselves for some better equipped (if less so than you) opponents.

REGULAR SUCCESS

The Isan, caught at the edge of the encampment, receives a nasty blow to the neck, before quickly bleeding out from the wound as two of the gnolls take positions behind trees. Archers. However, you are evening out the odds. The mapmaker, just a child at that, trips a charging gnoll, who is quickly put down. Now just 5 enemies remain, but at the same time, the warlock has also been removed from the equation. The only real issue is the torchlight; for with that, your nighttime advantage disappears.

A jab from a spear soon downs the torch however, setting the carrier aflame; the others are finished quickly as well. As several from the party lay down from the exhaustion of having to fight the entire morning, Yahurum makes an astute observation, much to their chagrin.

"If they were bearing a torch, and I could see the smoke, they might have others who could do the same. They'll be looking in this general area as well, where it disappeared. We should move."

What will you do?

>>2475823
"It sounds to me like you are the EXPERT Yahurum.
Fine, let's head home..."

>>2475860
Maeko is treated to the nice image of a child feasting happily on a heart.

>>2475860

"You freaks disgust me."

As the fire has already been stomped out, you make do with moving the bodies to the crevice you slept in (after grabbing their hearts). You move back to where you came, and your comrades on the other side soon retrieve you, though noticing your losses. The return does not take long, but most of the group are happy as you emerge from the jungle, and report back home. The Ehwazi, by the end of the year, do note heightened tribal presence along their borders, and the spiders, who trade with the tribal gnolls, do not see any after a few weeks pass and spring arrives.

Harol Metalar proposes the creation of town fortified towns to protect Ieran interest and project power outwards against any aggressors.

Fort Jera
Located on an unclaimed hill inbetween Ier this fortress town would protect against any aggression from Isarn and provide a stage point for any attacks against them, this will include a fortified bridge across the river. This fort shall be put under the command of a Metalar Autarch.

Fort Heart-Eater
Located on the largest of our jungle islands, it will be made with a large fortified port with a large amount of the jungle on the island being cleared providing a strong naval presence on the southern coast to ward off the gnolls. This fort shall be put under the command of a Riverisa Autarch.

The ghosts seem less present as you turn the fort into a proper shrine, or even a temple. Perhaps Rok keeps them away, or perhaps it is you soldiers, but either way, it is satisfying to see that a task your faction started long ago is finally completed.

The order you place with the great weaponsmith is the last the man ever crafts, and it too bears the engravings your spear had. Except, this weapon tells another story altogether; that of the Isans. Its beginning, however, is not familiar to you, though the Isan leader thanks you profusely. Apparently, the craftsman has disappeared though, much to his disappointment.

While Fort Heart-Eater will take some time to finish, Fort Jera's construction is done within the year; however, it appears the threat that needs to be worried about is instead from the south. With the Painted's settlement in the south being harassed, it appears that the expedition has angered the tribals. Fort Jera is completed, however. At the same time, the new Reptian leader has made several comments regarding the assassination of the previous leader, claiming it to be a Ieran blade that did the job. F

The Tyranny shall reach out to it’s new allies, the Ringborn and Eastern Lopeni. In the past the Lopeni lost a war against the gnolls of Lukidor which were supported by the Isarnites and Reptians, Ier offers them the chance to rectify this situation by supporting a invasion of their island territories, while Ier would not officially join the war we will support in materials, mercenaries and bonded magi for scouts. Ier would also like to see the Ringborn support the Eastern Lopeni, refreshing their cooperation in the past with them gaining some of the old gnollish territories to expand into.

The Tyranny would also offer economic assistance to the Ringborn helping them build infrastructure and develop their realm.

While the Tyranny extends its hand out, and the Eastern Lopeni are swayed, they ultimately say no for two reasons; the first is that if war does break out, the Contaw will most likely attempt to fight for their own independence, which would create a three way conflict, and second is that the Ringborn do not wish to engage in war, for even if they choose to, they would side with Contaw independence. For as sweet as the offer is, even with economic and infrastructural assistance, the only ones they oppose is Isarn, and a larger scale conflict such as this is like to set them back in that aim. Little else of note occurs than this discussion, though the lack of further conflict from the gnolls is peculiar.

Gather a host to go crush these raiders

The painted have to take an action they are not happy about, they are abandoning the South, they gather what they can and what resources can be gathered and leave burning what they can't take. Those displaced are resettling in Taerok for now

As the Host moves to known locations of gnoll settlements, it finds them abandoned, though they make sure that that remains... permanent. However, the gnoll raiders do not appear to be present on this side of the jungle at all, perhaps falling back after the previous assault of the fort. The Isan Chieftain considers this, for a moment, before sending a Covenant south to check if his suspicions are true. When his men return, some 80 in number now, they inform him that what he assumed was correct: the enemy is using boats to ferry men across the southern river for the raids, and they had caught them on their return, unawares. This information is relayed onward to the Tyrant, who finds it quite troubling.

While two separate crossings are stopped, there does not appear to be any villages on the shores of the river that belong to the tribals; rather, Reptia holds a settlement on the eastern side of the river, and Isarn on the west, as it carries water all the way through. They tell you that they have agreements with the tribals over this, though you have received no confirmation of that. The Ieran gnoll population is also rising quite high, around 11% of the population now, despite the small tributes given to the serpent each year. For his part, he has left lake travel alone as well.

While the gnoll law is introduced, a message is sent by way of Isarnite diplomats to us, apparently from the tribals. The gist of the message is that their dispute with us lies in two things; the first is the intrusion on their sacred ancestral lands during the expedition (they did not mind the entering their land other than the murder of their men, which they understand as reasonable given the situation), and the current use of the mine also of their ancestral lands, the jade mine you call Sarn-Ach. They would put a stop to the raids if assurance that the jade mine would no longer be in use were given.

The major improvement in the craft this time around is materials; by utilizing woods such as teak, which is resistant to rot, fungi, and more while remaining easy to work and high strength, the bare essentials of what a boat is made of can be turned into the basis on which easy to maintain, strong, and fast ships are made of. There has been no response from the gnolls yet...

I propose a garrison of soldiers be installed in Augusta and the surrounding area to prevent Gnoll incursions. The garrison itself would be placed under the command of the Falzer clan. The number may be determined from input of others, although I would say 300 would be on the low edge while 2,000 would be on the high edge.

As soon as the Nakh received word that you had settled in their land, you were hard pressed to stay, often finding possessions stolen and crops burnt. In the end, due to that threat, you were forced to leave (both yourselves and your allies), though their actions are not without precedent; even before your settling, they merely allowed trade outposts, not anything intended for living in properly. You're not even sure how many bands of the Ehwazi group there were by the end, but there must have been several...

The fact that a single individual is not indicative of an entire population is something you are swiftly learning as you engage with the Dawn Tyrant population. While in smaller numbers, they are manageable, they seem unreliable as beasts of war, at least at the moment; for having seized some of the young from their mothers in their eggs, they seem to still have wild insticts instilled in them. For every obeyed order, there is a missing finger, and often even cannibalism among their own population. Perhaps forward progress could be made with the backing of the Tyrant, and you hope it does occur; for your clan still sees a spark of what attracted your forefather to the beasts in the first place.
