He breaths in and turns his head back to them and speaks sternly.
"Enough of this bickering."

Then he turns back to the Matriarch.
"My apologies, but let us get back to issue at hand. The House of Ivory shall be given the task to teach your people the tactics they have prepared. After that, the Metalars will supply you with the appropriate equipment in line with the tactics. In addition, to compensate you, I shall exempt you from paying the tax for the next decade."

>>2729514
"That is appreciated, then. If all else is settled, we must part, my Tyrant; but I will say this. Be wary of those New Isans... I understand that leaving them alone has left them more of a festering wound than a bandage on the nation."

The other major news of the year apart from this meeting comes from Reptia, where documents detailing their seer program are finally finished. While kept quite secret, this was a magic program they had undertaken decades ago, around the same time Ier had figured out the secrets of magical weapons such as staffs. Those who have read about the original experiments may remember that it was figured that the soul was made up of multiple components, and that they had to be input into, say, a wand, with equal measure. The Reptians also knew of these components, but had figured out that one could read these as a sort of "aura" unique to every individual. Disturbingly, in order to accomplish this, they would blind orphans to allow them to visualize the soul better as they underwent training.

Let's not delay this any further.
(Posting for Myno since he is on phone, he wrote up the tactics the gnolls would use)

>General Practices
-The Gnolls will adopt a Blood Day-like event
-Younger Gnolls Will focus largely on building teamwork though objective based games until they are old enough to start proper training.
>Main idea for their fighting force
Gnolls will operate as light infantry and should focus on hit and run attacks or Skirmishing attacks. Attacking the flanks and baiting out enemy forces.
Light Gnolls: Using Spears and bows, they will have limited armour protecting their head and torso. The Light ones will be taught to harass an enemy and to withdraw if they are engaged, if they see cavalry get back to the main formation. their job in the field of war is to scout and begin picking off the enemy.

We will also drill discipline into them, starting with basic things like learning to bathe from time to time and basic formations. Then move onto more advanced stuff.

With this action done, the Matriarch is more or less satisfied, and you are able to focus on other topics. In recent times, it appears some among the Isarnite population are finding themselves a bit more settled as part of the Ieran population, due to similiarity in culture as well as Rok beginning to spread there to some extent.

>Tyranny Cults
Create multiple priesthoods each focused around a particular god. These groups will oversee different religious matters in Ier such as leading of worship, blessing of marriages and other such things. Each cult will have some sort of hierarchy, which may vary between each cult, with an official High Priest role, who is selected by their own cult, who will have the most authority and represent them. Also cult priestesses can vote in government elections.


The Brotherhood of Rok will be made into one and cults to Kaghula and the 6 main Reptian gods will be made.

Supoeriting

The law is passed to the disapproval of the vast majority of the Ieran public, as well as the Brotherhood, whose dominance is threatened. Protests have started to break out, and leaders among the opposition in the first few weeks appear to be preparing for riots, with several large families such as the Capans and the Metalars opposing the change as well, if not directly supporting these would-be rebels. However, the annexed population does appear to be a fan of this law, and there has been violence in Ier against Reptian-Ierans due to this.

Players, what will you do? Speak individually. The tyrant may speak for his faction as well as the government.

>>2729818
Call upon the Bloodguard and Bloodriders and order them to restore order by installing martial law. Those who started the riots and unrest, the Capans and Metalars (and anyone else with the exception of the Brotherhood) will be apprehended and imprisoned in Ierok until further notice.

Faction-Wise: The Riverisa shall remain neutral in this time of strife.

>>2729818
If the Tyrant wishes to bow before foreign gods and force us to stand down we shall have no choice but to stand with the majority of Ier and the Brotherhood to protest these actions.

>>2729818
I’m just going to stay in my mountain and let anyone wanting to flee violence stay in my places for a bit

"He is forcing the will of the people to stand down through threat of force. He shall listen to Ier one way or another."

>>2729873
"Tyrant why do you see this as necessary?

While the Metalars and the Capans are in support of the protests, many like the Falzers and the House of Ivory have have instead chosen to isolate themselves, though welcoming those fleeing the violence that appears to be coming. And indeed, it does come; for within a week, the first blood has been spilled. In one of the largest protests, just before the Tyrant's palace, several members of the Bloodguard clash with protestors, leaving several injured and two dead. What's more, according to messengers, both gnolls and arachenians are moving towards Ierok to help put down the unrest, numbering over 10k in total.

Players, Tyrant, what will you do?

>>2730011
"This madness has gone on long enough. I call for the Tyrant to come before the Concord to decide whether or not he is fit to continue as leader of the Tyranny."

>>2730011
As Autarch of the garrison in Fort Amore, built on the corpse of Moudntown, I decalre my own state centered around the former city and beseech any willing locals to join, free from the oppression of some Ierens. Although don’t do anything hostile to the government fo Ierok and say no to violence. The new state lf Amoria will be a tolerant one, lead by it’s new ruler Olus Falzer

>>2730011
Call on every man of Ier to defend against this Tyrant who would use mongrels to quell his people. Seize the Armory and muster an army in the Forge of Thera.

>>2730011
"I do not wish to spill blood over this. Believe me, no Tyrant would want to use force to attack and kill people. I want this unrest to end. This law does not force you to worship anyone. The religion of Rok will still be the predominant religion within Ier. We must unite, not divide ourselves. I wish for this to end with as little bloodshed as possible."

Have the gnolls reinforce the bloodguard and the bloodriders in establishing Martial Law. First at Ierok, then other major cities within Ier where unrest is prevalent.

>>2730011
The capan’s call for the abdication of the tyrant, and send immediate supplies and aide to the Forge of Thera.

The Erabenim decide to fuck off to their colony in the north until this bullshit subsides.

It appears the Tyrant has called up more gnolls, and while the minorities of the nation are happy about the situation, even they do not favor gnolls, especially the Isarnites. As some of their number begin their own protests, and families like the Falzers make moves towards independence (something overlooked in the chaos), the Concord meets for a vote of no-confidence on the Tyrant.

How do you vote, Founders of Ier?

>>2730099
"I vote against the current Tyrant. May Rok crush him in his sleep."

>>2730099
"Tyrant Boris numerous times I've offered advice on how to proceed so events would play out smoothly and you've ignored it. Now the situation has gotten out of hand and I call for you to stand down peacefully. If you truly care about the Tyranny you will do so."

>>2730099
A messenger of the Erabenim has come to deliver the Clan's vote: the Tyrant must go.

>>2730099
Let the Tyrant stay
(I assume I have a say in this)

>>2730099
"Step down cur."

>>2730099
A messenger from Olus Falzer who is a little boy, so innocent and adorable that it would be Cersei Lannister levels of cruelty to abuse, will deliver a message saying Olus will support Boris. Also with this messenger are turtles to all the concord members as a gifts of goodwill, with a particular turtle drapped in a toga and named Mill given to the Capans.

>>2730099
“I vote against the Tyrant. May Rok deliver 1000 boulders upon his grandmother.”

By a slim majority of 16:4, the Tyrant's reign is ended with a vote of no-confidence. The gnolls, so close to their destination, turned around, as do the spiders, and as the Tyrant removed his things from the palace, one thing dominates his mind as well as that of most of Ier; who will be the one to lead the nation forward? Only time could tell, at this point.

SESSION END

While the issue of Tyranny is cast upon the concord, Olus shall gather the dispossessed sons of former Reptians nobility. Together we shall form a Senate with myself at the head as Dictator. We shall form a new government which will represent and serve the people of this land more fairly than those hateful people in Ierok ever did. We shall make a new state, one which will achiece greatness that others elsewhere and in the past could not.

A messanger from Enkirok was delyed by bad weather but arrived, "the Painted ask the Tyrant stand down before more blood is spilt."

>Description
A broad man, adorned in Ierian outfits, a thick furred shroud over his shoulders, his body adorned in strange scars and a more subdued form of the Paint worn by his clan. At his side a Volcanite Khopesh and a strange blade, one of the ones from the Isarn War... walking either side of him a pair of large Dingo covered in similar scars and Paint...His Violet eyes piercing and looking across the crowd.

“Ierok is divided, Ghoul against Ghoul. It is time we put a number of matters to rest. Ierok conquered or occupied all the lands of the tyranny, we did not do it by bending to the will of outsiders or talking in secret within dark rooms, we acted.
Enough of humouring the weak gods whom let their people fall, enough of the pitiful ways that fell beneath us. Those of you who joined us, do you not seek Strength? Security? Purpose? The tyranny will give you all of these.”
The Ghoul looks across the crowd getting a measure of those present, his voice now starting low before rising to a bellow
“Reptia, Isarn these places are no more, there is a greater change on the winds, not a Light from above but the march of tens of thousands of feet in time and the roaring thunder of clamouring shields! Ierok rose from the Ashlands and remnants of the Old ways and forged a new path. Now there is only Ierok, together we are all Ierians, together unified under metal, fire and blood we will break the Cycles of the Lopan, topple those who seek to divide us in Lukidor and build a grand future together!”
>How do we unify the divided population
Ierok conquered the lands of all present here, their gods did not help them, their generals failed their machinations undone by the might of Ierok, rather than clinging to the past we will encourage all to become like us, strong, united and unbroken! Those who still cling to their old, fallen ways will be shown the error of their ways as their families wither and die with those old belief while those whom embraced their new lot will flourish and leave them behind!

>What about Lukidor and the Eastern Lopan bruh?
Lukidor was said to once be the homeland of all Isa, maybe in time we will return in glory. But for now we must secure our positions and show our might to those nations upon our boarders so they will know not to cross us, rather they will know when we outstretch our hand they will take it and join us in glory for they know, to knock away our hand is get next be greeted by a fist!

>Personal Goals
Our lands are vast, a testament to our people's might! Now we will work, til and build upon these lands so that our nation might grow more powerful still and all whom gaze upon our lands will be filled with awe and envy. Great public works bringing civilisation to the far reaches of our domain.

>Vaneed Threat?
Death, they will meet death if they encroach on our lands, if even for a moment if they cross the line we will kill all we can reach with spear and arrow. They may seek our guidance of those wise outsiders should but time will tell of their...wisdom.

Sebak Gaeran

Sebak is the son of the veteran Soldier Eorei. He wishes to follow many of the ideas of his father and focus on creating a better nation for the citizens of tommarow.

Goal is a Smooth and proper transition of the new territories into the tyranny, along with a return to stability.

To handle the unrest among the various unrest and avoid upheavals among said cultures is to focus on infrastructure and Institution building to improve the lives of all citizens of the tyranny. I’ll avoid interfering with their cultures outside of vital matters and give them time to adjust to living within the tyranny.

In regards to the alliance rising on the nearby land mass. That issue has happened because of rampant expansionism which I will cease so we can focus on building a well functioning nation. So long as the Eastern lopeni and lukidor do not make any hostile moves against us I I’ll not make any against them in turn.

As for the previous tyrants mistakes. I will take into consideration more closely the information we have to ensure the best choice is made for the tyranny.

>>2733785
I support Sebak for what it’s worth.

>>2733785
Addition for foreign politics
The Eastern lopen lukidor alliance is a result of rampant expansion on our part and so long as they do not threaten us our allies or our protectorates I will move for a more peaceful stance to let things stabilize. Should they act aggressively against our sphere I will try to descalate the situation and should that fail move to protect those in ier and its network of states it shares close/ friendly ties with.

As allies of the ringborn and suzerain to the archeans of the jungle and gnolls of the south I will act to support them when threatened and or faced with crisis.

>>2733715

>>2733715
The clan of Riverisa shall support

>>2733785
You got my vote!

>>2733707
>Ensuring current alliances and Protectorates remain the same
One of the failings of the last Tyrant was he did not reward the wisdom of our Protectorates, they have seen it is better to stand with us by our sides as comrades in arms than against us. We will see that they become strong to stand by our side, i will see to the construction of numerous military academies and the expansion of our own so that they might learn how to fight not like simple warriors, but Conquerors! We will see your lives changed for the better under the leadership of Ierok

>How to keep our dignity after this disposal of the Tyrant
Dignity? where would be our dignity if we did not act, thrown to the wind because strong men refused to put their vote forward to stand against something they believed in their Ierian hearts to be wrong! That is what it means to be Ierian! To make your will known and to act upon it. There is no loss of Dignity when doing what you must for your nation and people!

>How to subjugate foreign cultures without upheaval
A wild beast must first be broken to achieve its true potential, we we broken and lost int he Ashlands but we built ourselves up again stronger than ever. Those beyond our borders will face a test in us, a test of their worth! Should they fall before us in our conquests then it is proof enough their gods have not saved them? it is proof enough that their way is inferior to our own? We shall educate, train and discipline them, forging them into something magnificent. Those whom resist to the very end? Well they have dared oppose us and will be met with death lest their weakness spread.

>How to deal with the Eastern Lopan and Lukidor in the meantime
They fear us, as they should, but we know they have their strengths and are not some feeble thing. No we will strengthen our forces and borders and in time we will offer our hand to them...what happens next will be up to them...

While neither candidate from the Founders could claim to have truly grasped the nationalism that rejected the previous Tyrant, no other candidate succeeded either. However, with his policy (seemingly) of Ieranization rather than non-interfence, Ósoisa Dayr wins slimly; after all, on many issues, neither candidate differed greatly in opinion.

As for the matter of the secession of the Falzers, nothing has been done, but outside of a small group of Reptians, they have no real subject population, leaving them toothless compared to the Ieran state.

As the rogue Falzers demand a meeting with the Tyrant to negotiate on the current situation, Tyrant Ósoisa instead elects to send an emissary: Sebak Gaeran, the Tyrant's rival at the polls. Perhaps it is a show of good faith to Sebak, or an insult to Olus Falzer, leader of the secessionists. Either way, as Sebak and 6 guards sit outside the southwest staircase, they watch Olus and his own men descend. While there are Bloodguard scattered about to prevent food shipments, if an incident was to happen, Falzer's larger party could easily kill off the 7 Ierans, but at what cost? As they finally reach the bottom, they approach the meeting place, where chairs and a table have been prepared for them, along with some simple provisions, such as water and fruit. Of course, Falzer will speak first, a demand he insisted upon.

Olus, what say you?

>>2743862
“Greatings countryman. I understand that you are here on behalf of the recent tyrant Osoisa. I know there’s a fuss in Ierok about what I’m doing here but I assure you it is with the best intentions for all parties. I seek to form an Independent Reptian State so that the people here are content and do not cause friction in greater Ier which caused Boris to be overthrown. This new state will seperate but still subservient to Ier, as a protectorate or client state under my rule. Hopefully that way Ier still gains and while the people remain content.”

>>2743873
"Good intentions they may be Falzer. We went through much to bring Reptia into the fold and work to integrate it. Changing course now changes nothing for the better. Which is why I'm asking you and your fellows to stand down."

>>2743878
“And have more inner conflict take hold in the nation of Ier? We both witnessed the troubles caused the bringing together of different cultulres Halftwig cursed us with. Ghouls killing Ghouls, martial law declared, the tyrant calling forgien troops on his own people. It’s clear that these people can not peacefully co-exist but what I’m trying to do here is satisfy both parties and reach a compromise. Reptia can be a new client state still trading, aiding and giving material to Ier. I will swear an oath by Blood and under Rok that I will act to serve the interests of the Tyranny as ruler here. If I do not then take all of my possesions, kill me and enslabe my family.”

>>2743908
"Falzer.......Let us speak truthfully. Reptia is not in support of this. You are outnumbered and surrounded. There is no resupply coming into this fort. I am perhaps your best bet getting out of this in more then a bunch of bloody pieces compared to the others who could have been sent. Be smart and let us talk about ending this farce."

>>2743917
“I have waved no dagger at you nor anyone else, all I seek is peace and fairness. I offer the highest of oaths to swear friendship but you do not take it. If you wish to not reach a peaceful amends then so be.”

>>2743927
But dost thou bite your thumb good sir?

>>2743927
"You are not making peaceful amends either. By defying the Tyranny to make your own little realm and rejecting my peace offers your merely showing yourself as incredibly foolish. I will offer this deal before I leave. You will all pay fines for the attempt and the ringleader will face the lash. If you reject my offer then I cannot guarantee your survival when we either starve you out or storm the fortress."

"Please see reason here."

>>2743932
“If this is the fate of us then so be. I will go back as I was before this interruption and continue my watchings of local birds.”

Sebak leaves with no deal, but left unharmed... however, the same cannot be said for the fort. As a messenger is caught attempting to bring a message to the Lukidor, one which ostensibly states that in exchange for supplies Olus is willing to become a vassal, the Tyrant moves forward with breaking into Moundtown, which has already become a grave for several succumbed to hunger, though their corpses are obviously not left untouched. As they stay in a prison cell, the Tyrant is still making his mind up as to what should be done with the traitors.

Switche to thisse

In other news, the Ringborn raiders who have hit human shores in the past few decades have found it profitable, and as such it is becoming increasingly common to see traders switch professions to take raiding up instead. These men are being called swindlers by the humans, a phrase in that language which most closely sounds like the following: Ashada. Apart from the Ashada, there also happenings on Wolf Island, the home of the Nakh and the Lukidor. There, the introduction of volcanite weapons by the Metalar family has seen conflicts between the three main groups of Nakh, the largest of which is coming under threat. This is particularly significant as that group is closely allied to the Lukidor.

(Just for clarification as to why phasing is being brought up https://pastebin.com/B44RSQMf). The highest level fire mages are quite capable of phasing, and with the right anatomical training, should be able to complete delicate operations, especially as another trait of fire on flesh is cauterization of wounds and killing bacteria. As such, the College of Magi in collaboration with herbalists and healers is completing studies on how to integrate the two subjects, with the hope of bringing advancements in the surgical field. On the topic of heat, summer has begun, bringing with it rain and humidity.

With domes having been a recent architectural innovation of past years, a grand museum is founded in Ierok, where the personal collections of the rich and famous will lend out artifacts, and the state will collect artifacts of significance itself. In the meantime, the leaders of the rebellion have been put on stakes, the children of the family divided, and those who remained loyal to remain allowed to stay under the Falzer name, though it remains thoroughly disgraced.

(As I've said before, you should probably just say you're experimenting with one thing and I'll give you an idea of its properties/properties of whatever else is involved). The jocand tongue indeed appears to have an aphrodisiacal effect, resulting in something akin to a wet dream potion with the hallucinogenic and alcohol when heated with water. The other combinations do not have similar effects. The Dhobble head has nothing noteworthy associated with it (dhobbles being strange, humanoid creatures found in the ashlands to the north) and the bug-snake (found in Tribal lands) is similar. That, or the pieces are contaminated... looking at the dust, blood, and dirt all over them, you think it might be that.

Your inquiries lead you to the fact that while there is no faith of the river, the belief in the divinity of the Jungle is still strong within Ier. Having spread from the Isans several decades prior, Kaghula, the Mother of the Jungle, is worshipped along with Rok in many households, though merely as a figure related to him, with him acting as the central figure. Purists of both the blood and Rok himself do not tend to see her in such a divine light, however, just as a holdover of the old empire which they believe should fade away. However, there is also a small section who worship her entirely, and according to them, she is not sister or mother or anything of Rok, nor something of the blood; she is a being that in the past was related to the line of emperors who ruled in the old days. That line, however, has been lost to time, if it even still exists.

Northern Isarn, in a rare message to other states, has stated that the dhobbles in the ashlands of the north come from the human lands, and that the parasite is the fault of Ringborn raids. The Ringborn, for their part, have not responded. Down south, the Tribal training program appears to be going well, with the expectation that their armies should be approaching a decent (Ieran) standard within the next few years.

SESSION END

But at the same time, a few questions; where will the college be placed? More importantly, how will it be structured?

>>2744395
Forget about this college. we should upgrade the defenses of our major urban centers throughout Ier that have been untouched for so long.

>>2744395
Isan proposes to host the College in one of the cleared out Structures of the Capital of Isan, which Isan Internationals will be happy to donate. This college (or whatever word deemed appropiate) will dedicate itself to the study of the old nation and how to utilize these old world strategies and mistakes into the new empire.

Isan Internationals agrees to fund it, so long as this charity will be repaid by the Tyranny at a later time.

The hope is this college will further our societies abillity to Tech Advance, instead of our usual strategy which appears to be asking

We hope that this practical study will help further the cause of scientific advancement, as the hurdles of the monumental task of rebuilding will result in practical solutions.


Falzers have proposed that we set it up in Ierok and design it to study fads and popular slogans and worship a giant frog.

Other proposals are available.

>>2744449
You didnt even try to vote on that.

>>2744479
I voted on it just now.

>>2744482
Okay backsies on your vote to a option that also didnt win good going.

>>2744490
"We haven't committed to building anything yet so why cant we switch to something else?"

>>2744479
Why can't we have a college with staff dedicated to multiple subjects? There are plenty out there that still need a college, why don't we have departments dedicated to each of these subjects? Medicine, agriculture, architecture, astronomy, mathematics all can benefit from one school.

>>2744533
"Great idea! I still propose its in Isan however because we still have a lot of empty buildings.

I'm going to remind you all that the reason schools ain't wide spread is because everyone is needed to hunt and farm especially at a young age to pick up their families trades, then the middle age ones do most of the work

>>2744592
Its not meant to be a college in the modern sense. Just the generic fantasy college where smart old people gather so we know where smart people are and can teach younger smart people how to be smarter and blah blah.

The college, after much debate, is simplified to a research center for the advancement and teaching of medicine (in particular, herbalism), and to a lesser extent, alchemy, as a related field.

While that bit of news is sent out to the unaware island nations, a meeting is held in Ierok around halfway through the year, specifically in the Concord Hall. Gathered by Gaeral Metalar, it is said that the Temple of Thera has reached a new level in magical research, and have some findings to present. People mill about and discuss this as well as the state of the nation and just idle gossip while waiting for the presentation to start.

>>2748292
A wizened old man dressed in priestly wear enters the flanked on either side by two young humans, one male and one female both wearing simplistic garb.

"Gentlemen of the Concord, I am High Magi Karal One-Arm of the Temple of Thera! Recently in our search into the nature of the soul we have stumbled upon something of great interest to you all! I present to you, in the flesh once more! Dagh and Thera, Founders of Reptia and former citizens of the Isan Empire!"

>>2748303
"Apologies I dont think I heard you properly. Who are these two nice people you just brought to the Concord?"

>>2748303
*Raises an eyebrow* "So it is possible...good"

>>2748303
“Okay”

>>2748305
"Dagh and Thera, Immortals, back from the dead."

>>2748312
"Do you mean you gave bodies to the imprints of the rings that we call ghosts of the originals?"

"Yes we are," both say in unison.

While both are exceedingly plain (at least, in how you envision human stock), their olive skin and brown hair set them apart from you all. But it is their actions that seperate them the most from you as many Founders look on, unimpressed, or unconvinced, though it is fair to say quite a few show shock and awe. They act almost symmetrically.

"One could say that occupy both bodies, says Dagh," the female states, emotions not shown on her face.

"Or that our souls are the same. However, we thought we were finally dead. The fault of... Khop, was it?" adds the man, presumably also Dagh.

"It is a long story, but we can speak to it if wished. There is no need to worry about your cruel founder, however. Ours is a special case," Thera says.

"If you need proof, then our story is what you will need," both affirm.

>>2748303
The representative of the Riverisa, Bartos Dzhuro is here. Upon hearing these news his eyes widen
"Amazing, how was this feat accomplished?"

>>2748318
"Do tell my dears."

>>2748318
"Your story is one many of us are interested in if its not too much trouble to hear."

>>2748318
“Not that I’m interested but for a friend named Yuz, can you tell us anything about Vade.”

>>2748319
"Magic."

>>2748317
"The Rings are put imprints of the real, they lack in many things and are very unlike the real thing as you see here."

>>2748318
Ter breaks out of his train of thought, still taking in what he's been presented. "What are you now? Is this form your old one or a new one? Please, tell your story. We've heard many of your friends, we will gladly hear your own." Ter waves off the Falzer, very focused on the two in front of him. "Another time, but thank you."

>>2748318
The tyrant speaks "My people need this information urgently...what do you know of Azhir...as we speak a similar experiment is underway...to give a ring shadow life and a body....But please speak to us and tell us how this came to pass"

>>2748334
"We are us," they simply confirm, "though these bodies were taken from others."

As they begin to tell their tale, they take a seat on empty chairs prepared for them. The atmosphere is not tense, but it is weird, and as the voice of the body Dagh occupies begins to cut through it, it almost seems to amplify.

"The relevant information starts with us leaving Reptia. I had finished my duty there, and was exhausted with the greed I had seen many take after the nation had finally begun to grow. I had worked for years for peace, and yet the conflict between men always rose to the surface. I was done. However peaceful I was in the past, I could not handle this anymore, and so I walked away. I was merely lucky my wife joined me," he finishes somberly.

Thera continues where he left off. "We went to a place we knew of in our youth, somewhere untouched by the devastation. The oasis, which we believe now lies within your territory. There, we left our bodies entombed, and did what we had learned from a friend recently departed. We let our soul leave our bodies, and became one with the earth and the flame, both the ground and the volcanoes scattered around the ashlands."

"We could not die even then," Dagh admits. "Our souls were too tainted by the Light. But we kept our rings with us, as we knew to let them go would be to invite two new beings to suffer eternally with us. But in the cave, we knew peace, and as our elements mixed in the earth, Thera's mixed with metals found in the ground, and overpowered them, and my own did the same when meeting hers. Our souls, warped already, joined together, and we lived there in half-death, not able to truly leave our bodies, but at one with all around us."

"There were sometimes movements outside the cave, and one in particular involved a young ghoul, who we believe is called Khop by your historians. In his grief, having seen his father's dead body, he entered the cave, wishing for death. He was not granted that, and by some strange power, he took part of Dagh's soul, and a tiny part of mine. This was enough to kill us, or as close as we could come."

"Or so we thought. We could still feel those parts of our soul, which we truly found out as another being joined us. I cannot say what it was, but four partial souls in one body broke that ghoul, the unknown individual, and in some way, us. I remember begging for death, though it might have been any of the four of us saying those words, and then meeting silence. It made me contemplate very much, including the sanctity of life. I was wrong to have walked away and abandoned my ideals, and as we lay undisturbed below the rocks, I realized this."

"Yet at the same time," Thera adds, "we were not undisturbed. The metal in which we lay was being used, though we did not know how. No senses, after all. Then we awoke, meeting Karal, and he has told us of what has happened since our self-imposed enclosure."

>>2748364
"Thank you Dagh and Thera, if anyone has any questions I encourage you to seek them out at a later time. I would like to thank the Concord for having us and for you to all have a wonderful day."

>picks a piece of food out of his teeth

>>2748381
"What will they be doing now that they've returned?"

>>2748388
"With their return they could likely aid us in the magical arts should they choose, Karal well done your a credit to our people and so is your work. I will need to speak to them at some point however on some touching issues"

>>2748388
"They have been welcomed to stay at the Temple of Thera and wish to explore Ier to learn more of what has happened since the time of their death."

>>2748388
"We plan to see the world," they answer, "talk to our Ring selves, visit old friends if they yet live, and then return here to complain about the state of things, such as the sun being too bright and the lack of elder discounts. Normal old people duties."

They depart on that.

***

Other news includes the fact that the islands have bowed their head to Ier and are paying their dues, and the fact that the Reptians, having heard the news about their founders, are now split into two camps, with one more willing to accept Ieran supremacy at this point. The others believe the story to be a lie, though it seems Isarnites and Ierans are both more accepting of the issue. Knowing the oddity that was their mutual founder, it appears that once again, the Isarnites are the more settled population.

War chariots are developed for a rider and warrior, though their effectiveness is limited with a still small horse population. In time, however, this may prove to be quite the effective tool. Seeming to follow the subjugation of the islands, Northern Isarn has begun to pay protectorate fees to Ier, and has approached the Tyrant asking for such a deal.

The Ieran Heartland is passed, to significant protest among the Reptians. While Isarnites, having already begun to build a new capital as their own was destroyed, are not upset, the Reptian minority is in fact being supported by Dagh and Thera in this particular protest. The issue raised is that by forcing Moundtown, a creation of Dagh specifically for the Reptian people to be turned into a fort, much of Reptia's history has been erased, and furthermore, it has left them without a major city of industry such as artisans or forges or whatever else. As there has been no violence, a small group of Ierans do understand their concerns.

Develop the use of Siege Shields to protect our archers during along with expanded siege training such as working as a unit to form a "tortoise" formation with shields to move through areas with heavy missile fire. This will include a redevelopment of our current shield into a standardized large square shield reinforced with glowrok bronze.

The Reptians all live within a week of Ierok, it is the only large industrial city in the area. They should be happy with the new cities we have made them.

While the two built cities do have space for this industry, by killing off gnoll workers who were the main hub of it, Reptians claim that crippled it regardless.

Larger shields are brought into use, though not every shield is able to be reinforced as glowrok mining has slowed in recent years. The Reptians split on the issue of whether the founders are real appear to have more or less accepted Dagh and Thera as a result of the protests, which while having stopped, appear to be a part of a larger issue. There is also word from the Isans, that, confirming what the gnoll matriarch had said several years ago, the New Isans are Ierans in name only, and choose not to interact with any other groups in their area.

After much debate, a few random people wandering into the Concord Hall yelling about their opinions, and an attempted stabbing, it is decided that only model citizens may enter Moundtown, and at the moment, that is only a few hundred individuals. This compromise satisfies no one but the protests are gone and Dagh and Thera return to Ierok, with their Ring selves following, in bodies similarly "possessed" just as Dagh and Thera possessed humans. The originals reveal a bit of information about glowrok as well; it is tied to a strange power Gwanraw had. He was capable of draining souls to invigorate his own... the remains of those souls seeped into the surrounding caves where he performed his gruesome work, leaving naught but bones and glowrok behind. Why he did it, they say, is simple; attaining as much power as possible, to figure out what was behind the Light, and the pillars themselves.

The study of the stars has allowed for further cataloging of clusters of light, both allowing for the vague mapping of proposed civilizations, but also those of potential landmasses. On top of that, the nature of the sun itself is being brought into question, especially by the realization, both by seers and other mages, that mana flows upwards from the pillar towards it. Those enscribed with the pillar rune similarly have their mana flow upwards, dying in the process. The season is turning at the moment, as well, to fall.

With more people numerate than literate, your mathematical system has developed nicely, covering not just arithmetic now, but also the basics of algebra, as well as the Pythagorean theorem. Befitting your role as a major trade power, this has set you ahead of other nations, and it benefits your traders greatly. However, interestingly, symmetry and such is still ignored in design, with the system of metrics used to measure things not being applied in measuring distance, which is still based in relative statements, such as foot lengths, table heights, etc. This has made Ieran architecture often eclectic and bizarre-looking, but also functional.

In essence, at the end of the year, government oversaw banks may be allowed to run, while the central bank is founded. Adding onto that, Northern Isarn is receiving training for their now accepted protectorate status.

The pillar, unlike these matters, however, is in a state of flux. As people approached this time, they noticed that the area around the pillar, as opposed to the devastation they had seen, was living... no, flourishing. While no direct interaction with the pillar has occurred yet, the gnolls have been changed, and test subjects, many mages, are arriving. However, one more disturbing thing was noted by the seers there...

The River Pillar appears to have a soul inside it, and a massive one at that.
