First, the map.

The week following the Festival of the Serpent is chaotic for the heartland of Ier to say the least; while Ierok itself is secure, the gnolls surrounding the pillar have escaped, and though they are being hunted down, none of them seem remotely sane, all overwhelmed by some unseen force. When caught, they kill themselves, if they don't evade capture in some gruesome way, like tearing off a limb to escape. None have been captured alive, and they, when free, have been terrorizing the surrounding area. Ierok itself is also abuzz with other news as Ier's two neighbors on Wolf Island, the Daus and Bemol tribes of Nakh, are now engaged with the Azeng Nakh at war. The Lukidor, allies of the Azeng, are of course supporting them along with the East Lopen, but the Vaneads, ever the opportunists, are taking their chance to attack both. More importantly, it has come out that the Metalars are arming the enemies of the Lukidor with volcanite weapons, raising concerns that Ier itself could be drawn into the war without the consent of the Tyrant.

A Concord meeting has been called in response to this. Founders, what do you do?

>>2778637
Metalar for the moment we need you to stop providing these weapons until our stance as a nation has been decided. These is a good chance it may resume shortly

>>2778637
"Clearly we should support the Daus and Bemol to increase our control over Wolf island, the more we weaken the allies of Lukidor the better."

>>2778645
And what if we are dragged into another war while we ourselves are rebuilding and recovering our strength?

>>2778643
"The nation does not control what trade my family does, if you wish to try to pass a law through the concord feel free to."

>>2778648
"The hell is with you mewling babes, we are recovered, we have fresh men ready to fight and earn their spot as Ierans. It is about time that the Reptians and Isarnites showed their worth in battle."

>>2778650
We do not but if your families trade endangers the nation you will be punished for putting your greed before your people. The same goes for any traders *eyes Riverisa*

>>2778637
"The Metalars seem to consistently do whatever they like without consulting the Concord or the Tyrant. They should pay reperations and be reprimanded for this unauthorized weapons trade. Ier is in a fragile state and fighting another unneeded war helps no one."

>>2778653
"Though you are correct...The new boys need blooding, perhaps if we agree to send...Hired help, we as a nation are neutral but we shall send our men as mercenary forces. All make a profit, the forces get blooded and we stay out the war"

>>2778658
"I do not tell you who you may sell glass to and you do not tell me who to sell weapons too."

>>2778662
"So your selling weapons to them. I'm sure this isnt the first or only part of some plan you have so why not tell us the rest."

>>2778657
The Riverisa representative speaks up
"Hey don't look at me! I literally never traded in such a way to endanger us."

>>2778637
"As for the matter at hand, Mercenary forces are totally fine, perhaps we can even send some of our protectorate gnolls to fight, they need a good war as well, showcase their tactics in combat. Just make sure these gnolls don't end up fighting the Lukidorians, they might betray us should that happen. While I certainly support the selling of weapons and using mercenary and protectorate forces to aid the Nakh, the majority of our population should remain at home. The war between the Vaneads and the Lopeni is also worrying and as a result we should at least keep some sort of garrison. It is important not to overextend.

Personally, I think a good way to send mercenaries is just offer them for a very cheap price, that will allow the Nakh to get as much as they need while maintaining our neutrality."

>>2778662
"If my glass were to start a war, you would be allowed. But that's not the case. Allow us to rebuild and enjoy this peace."

>>2778664
Well his plan is simple, make money, destabilize a group and then move in for the kill. His clan will just ensure they see a good amount of the gains...Not entirely unjustly

>eats bread

I propose that as a nation we will take no sides in the conflict and shall continue trading as normal. Openly we shall state we have no stake in this, however we shall also offer mercenary forces whom can gather information for us, blood our men and make friends with our... Unofficial allies. But the state shall remain neutral

>>2778662
"If we were to help these Nahk what would we get in return out of this?"

>>2778688
"Influence on wolf island, access to better trade deals and weakening the power of Lukidor."

Your studies advance a little bit, with your discoveries with life and death magic being quite interesting. It appears that life magic specifically pushes mana into objects with souls to bolster the soul, while death does the opposite, draining it. More over, you found some secondary elements associated with both outside of that. Death seems to be associated with shadows and mind control, while Life, once again, opposes that, associated with light and clarity of mind.

While you don't have any leads, Thera confirms to you that Thera's wish, once upon a time, was to venture northwards, after discovering her own powers. She believed that there, she might be able to discover... something. Thera isn't entirely clear on what, but said it related to the pillars in some capacity.

>>2778691
"Starting a war so soon might not be the best idea but I would entertain the idea of sending more supplies and mercenaries to the Nahk. Covertly or overtly which ever works."

>>2778701
"That is better then nothing, it has been over twenty years since the last war. How long must we wait to once again wet our blades?"

With the issue somewhat settled, life goes on as usual, though with the government possibly planning covert involvement this year, contrary to the origins of the discussion. The war so far is a bloody stalemate, though that is not to say no change of land happens. The Vaneads begin to dig into the smallest group, their neighbor, the Daus, and as that happens, they draw threateningly close to Ieran lands. At the same time, the Daus make advancements into the land of the Azeng, with their opponents not truly making any advancement. It appears the Lopen are offering token help, to the indignation of the Lukidor, who are heavily involved. At home, meanwhile, all gnolls related to the incident with the pillar have been tracked down and killed, with the Tyrant yet to decide whether to open it once more.

You are bad with accents and instead of ending up "villaging" which you took as visiting a town you find yourself on a ship to the north, pillaging. Ended up being fun though you are now missing the better part of three fingers.

***

In terms of transportation, seeing as your northern territories may expand in the future if the grasslands continue to expand somewhat, some pioneers have been using ropes and smaller, sharper picks along with leather harnesses to practice climbing mountains, reaching unseen areas, as well as, in a few cases, old ruins. The conflict at home has seen the Vaneads mostly repelled by the Lopen, though it appears it may continue for some time, with the Vaneads having the manpower to just send more than any nation barring Ier itself. On Wolf Island, volcanite is giving the side armed by the Metalars an edge, but as the Vaneads are now launching attacks on both sides through the sea, the island is in a state of turmoil and the East Lopen have promised to up their involvement. It seems that the war is not quite over yet, its length drawn out greatly by the cautious tactics of your neighbors and the stop-start approach the Vaneads used on you as well, many decades ago. Another small bit of news at home is that some corruption has been affecting the local side of much administrative work, especially in the jungle and Reptia.

While you offer military support to the Daus, they refuse your aid, as while they are sandwiched, somehow they are advancing on both fronts. Combining their lack of war beasts and, well, major herding at all, they are using their high flexibility as well as military tactics that they claim as the tradition they stem from (each Nakh having a particular niche) to great effect, allowing to move against the vaneads and use the more grounded land of the Azeng against them, as they engage in a total war. Meanwhile, their allies follow their lead, allowing for cooperation bolstered by the disunity shown by their opponents, who while still having a strong showing, are failing in no small part due to a lack of clear hierarchy between the three allies. The war appears almost over, with the vaneads having lost land but gained others near the Lukidor, while the Azeng are the major loser overall. At home the swamp vaneads have given up, but news at home is not as happy. Despite the Enforcer being sent in, an issue is once again present, as no one is willing to face him and cooperate. The New Isans hold a grudge against the Ierans who sent them in there, and the Scribes who would normally turn in the corrupt or traitors are of course the ones who are at fault here, and refuse to turn in each other. This has created a mess of the highest order.

I concur

>>2778843
Aye, this.

>>2778843
Sure

While you begin to replace the Scribes, the war ends on Wolf Island, but not with the expected result. A sudden pouring of forces by the Lukidor onto the island, combined with East Lopen finally deciding to fully commit, resulted in a push back of the Metalar-supported forces. The Vaneads took back their land as well, though have agreed with the Azeng Nakh a peace deal that lets them hold onto their territories. While the world reels from this, there are oddities among the scribes that you begin to note. For one, the corrupt areas are almost unique to those with New Isans. Secondly, their population seems to have been understated. Many scribes are now refusing to be put there, with the treatment of their fellows being protested in Ierok. They believe that, regardless of circumstance, they should be allowed certain rights, including that to not have Seers inspect them. While most would see that as nonsense, scribes are in large part the only ones who have the documents that are key to administration, and these protests could see that become an issue. The individualism and pro-Ieran spirit of the general culture of the College appears to be somewhat at fault, as many of these scribes believe that they should be beyond reproach as Ierans, and more than that, as part of the government, and reject the notion that they should be treated as regular citizens.

Taking a note from the books of the Ringborn, who have larger lands than their original population were able to break down and decorticate sorghum by means of a simple lever and fulcrum operated hammer, which is operated by means of the feet. By hammering using this method, great amounts of force are produced that could not be achieved otherwise, and while it is a slow introduction, it appears it could greatly benefit Ier's highly sorghum based diet. In other news, the scribe protests have died down somewhat, though many stopping are not doing it due to a change of philosophy, but rather, for the pay, which has been ceased with their lack of operation.

good idea

While cairns are typically built as piles of rocks, usually at the sites of battles, the Cairn of the Fallen Soldier, with its size, has begun construction differently due to that. Built from slabs of limestone on the bottom, square panels of stone are assembled on each roughly circular layer to create something resembling a cone. While the bottom layer is around 125 feet in diameter, the second layer is 115, the third 110 and so on. The top layers, while not finished, will be constructed with precious metals, and people will be free to leave stones on any layer they wish, though the plan is for each to symbolize a certain form of death, be it suicide to prevent capture by the enemy or blood loss. In this manner, while the base symbolically acts as representative of those who have already died for Ier, the new rocks will represent the newly fallen. The surrounding area has been cleared in anticipation of future growth, with it being built in the grasslands just outside where all roads filter into Ierok. Men will also be hired to maintain the site, as it expected, especially after wars, that the piles of rocks may fall due to weather or other conditions.

The encouraged migration does take place in small numbers, though not enough to entirely stem the gap in the workforce. The local Reptians seem content knowing that it is Isarnites coming in, rather than Ierans. Coincidentally, those few remaining scribes seem to have returned to work by this point. It has been noted that an unnatural number of them are blood worshippers. Elsewhere, the aftershocks of the war on Wolf Island are reverbrating, as East Lopen has cut off relations with the Azeng Nakh, which some are saying is a sign that the Vaneads, who have already received a generous treaty, may soon be at war with the weakened tribe, who while securing land gains, are being supported in no small part by the forces of the Lukidor. Winter has begun as well, potentially making further conflict crippling to the agriculture of the Lukidor, though it remains to be seen how Vaneads truly sustain themselves underwater. On land, their farms seem much the same as any.

A nice touch

In the past few decades, small venues have opened up for talented musicians to perform at, with a very small number pursuing a career in music, though the pay admittedly isn't great. This has especially relied on strings and drums (as well as more recently, choirs), similar to the past, but as more important members of society have taken note of these musicians, the scale of the performances has expanded. Small ensembles have been assembled in private by several prominent clans, and now, a small government program seeks to allow experienced applicants to act as state retainers, similar to practices in East Lopen and Lukidor. Speaking of there, while tensions are high, nothing has boiled over, though there does seem to be further conflict on the horizon.

In recent times, significant improvements in weight distribution of boat designs have occurred, especially due to the import of floatwood, which contrary to its redundant sounding name, is a special type of wood found in both the forest of the Lopen and the southern jungle that can support the weight of most giants. While its mechanics are not fully understood, it appears to give proportional pushback to heavy weights placed on it, against the known laws of the world. This is why giants are able to travel on boats that could otherwise collapse under them. With this wood, especially imported from your Protectorate, being used in new designs, heavier weights are able to be carried aboard ships. More complex designs, including some with stone fortifications, are also possible, leading to the designation of a new type of ship; the castle ship. Tensions on Wolf Island have settled for now, and the construction of the Cairn of the Fallen Soldier is finished, which have improved morale considerably; however, this winter has shown no sign of stopping, dampening the spirits of some.

Blood day is the foundation of our society it stays

The Isans, having followed a calendar that while keeping the month system of the Lopen had weekdays included, are now drawn from once more culturally, though this being done by the state. Outside of Bloodday, which is decided to remain the same, the other days of the week are Sunday, Moonday, Mothersday, Fathersday, and Pillarday, with Bloodday falling between Fathersday and Pillarday. For those curious, Jungleday was celebrated instead of Bloodday. In other news, East Lopen have obtained biremes, following the Ringborn in pursuing naval technology that will allow them greater interaction with the human lands. However, this may also open the doors for Lukidor to gain biremes, allowing them to somewhat catch up to Ieran naval technology. The festivals formed naturally, though may prove unsustainable and restricted by the government, due to the waste of food that comes with a festival with feasting 12 times a year, possible for up to 10 years.

Difficulty: Very Hard
Sailing out west for the first time, Tordan finds little, and is forced to return due to supplies. There is a noticable lack of land, but by using the stars he navigates home. The second time, however, his crew spots something alarming. In front of them is an expanse of ocean where the waters seem.. dark. Between navy blue and black, the area seems eery, and continues on for quite a while. When movement is spotted in the distance, with ripples in the water suggesting it to be quite large, they turn back, and return home with the news. After some studying, it appears that the area must have been where the vaneads lived before it collapsed underneath them, but the scale was larger than what Ierans had thought possible. However, with the water of the southern river now stagnant, and the area not sucking the ships towards it, Tordan's journey does prove that whatever happened, the flow of water caused by the collapse must have stopped some time ago.

The Sholzgaetor Keep has been created in the last decade or so, and while initially created especially for defence, it has morphed into also a personal project for your clan. With walls sturdier than those surrounding the city crafted, your emblem is carved into the inside of the structure, with small rooms and staircases constructed within to house people during non-volatile times. The peninsula area south of the small inlet of water is built as both an evacuation port and also a personal leisure area, with a portion of the dock seperated for personal use of your family. Most impressively, an entire bridge is built to the island on the bay, which itself is quite large. There, you build a large fortress, with a gatehouse on both ends of the wide bridge, and docks on top of that. Parts of the island are also cleared in case refugees need to be evacuated to the island, and smaller homes built for servants. Outside of say, Ful'cana or Enkirok, such a large and impressive home of a clan cannot be found anywhere in Ier, let alone the known world.

You create a few working prototypes of your design. Using a volcanite mesh (seen in black in your image), by pouring through powder and blowing in air, be it through a tube such as one design, or air magic in another, the powder burns and is sprayed out as gas. However, there are a few flaws in your design. For one, the gas mask is not very effective, often leading to friendly fire. The powder also gets melded into the volcanite, warping the internal structure, meaning the gun cannot be used many times without replacement. Still, an impressive design.

Philosophically, the idea of dualism that emerged in the past has grown intertwined with the blood spirituality, which has resulted in further heightened xenophobia in Ier. The idea of the race and the other has intensified, but that is not the only place where dualism has come to surface. In a purer philosophical sense, the question of true reality and what is experienced has been heavily debated, especially as new research on magic and the soul reveals more and more about the world around you. The yearly feasts during winter are now changed to take place during the last year of winter as well.

Medicinal knowledge has advanced in recent times, most notably due to a compendium of knowledge published by the Capans, which while extremely large, is being bought by several hospitals. However, on top of the more worldly advice comes spiritual and mystical health, which it is said are important as well. This especially comes in the form of bloodletting, as it is said whatever affects the body affects the soul, and research has shown this to be true. Thus, maintaining a regular flow of blood is seen as healthy, especially when blood is let from certain areas and blood consumed is from certain areas. In a similar vein, certain plants should be burnt within a dwelling regularly to ensure spiritual health. On Wolf Island, the Vaneads have invaded the Azeng, with the Azeng bearing volcanite weapons. At the same time, the other two Nakh nations have struck as well, leading some to believe this was coordinated, especially with certain recent shipments to the island from Ierok.

Along with battering rams and siege towers, a recent design being tested in Ier as a siege weapon is a mangonel or traction trebuchet, which uses manpower to launch objects some distance. While planned to be used during war, Ier is content with watching overseas for a while instead of engaging in one itself. However, mercenaries from Ier under the Metalar clan being involved in the war has caused some concern that this time the nation may be drawn in. Last war, while there was talk of it, no action was actually taken.

If you wish to send mercenaries, tell me.

You find deposits of coal and nickel up north, but nothing in the ashlands. As for the mercenaries, it has put a damper in your relationship with your enemies even more than before, as on top of deploying men, ferals with some degree of training have also been seen. The Azeng are being pushed back by the Vanead but as it was before, a stalemate is kept with the Nakh, despite your push with mercenaries, as the Lukidor are faster to react without the involvement of the East Lopen. However, unlike the Azeng, your allies are dealing with food shortages and thus are having to import from Ier, seeing your finances soar.

Magic belly dance performances.

>>2795249
>>2795246
Eh why not

>>2795249
Sure

A new form of belly dancing has emerged in Ier, where talented performers (some being mages) dance with flaming batons and other implements. Mages also use the other elements, but fire is of course the flashiest of all. Accompanied by rhythmic drumming, the training required certainly could make one call this an art, as the dancers must move to the beat as well as make sure not to harm themselves or those watching. This is growing popular in mainly common areas, though private performances are known to take place on occasion. Overseas, the supplying of both men and food to the Daus and Bemol Nakh has seen them regain the land they had lost and then some, with the Azeng being crippled by a dead chieftain as well as the internal power struggle that followed in the early months of the year. However, the vaneads of Wolf Island, known now to be called the Yuradh, have been dealing with unknown issues, causing them to stall on both the combined front with the Nakh and to the northeast of their original territory there. The war is affecting home as well of course, with shipments of supplies overseas causing concern with dwindling supplies at home and the long winter not yet over.

The study of astronomy in recent years has been changed somewhat by the events of the crazed gnolls and the pillar. While the star maps are near completion, and are trusted by sailors, debate is not focused on that. Rather, it is centered on the notion that the world is spherical, which has been trusted due to the nature of the stars, but has come into question for one reason. Why is it assumed that the world is spherical? All records dating back seem to indicate that beliefs have always tended towards this, but a philosophical debate has sprung up about why even the smallest child would say this. Is it passed down through blood? Is it something all living things know? Is it even true at all? Such questions are being pondered, alongside one quite a bit larger. If the world is truly a sphere, what lies outside it?

Abroad, while the reason for the vanead stall has not been revealed, their ground gained has been tremendous, and similar with those being funded by the Metalars, the two tribes of the Daus and Bemol Nakh. A peace treaty is now being negotiated in Lukidor as to what the new borders will look like, but the Azeng Nakh, and thus, their ally the Lukidorians, have lost their stranglehold over the other Nakh tribes on Wolf Island.

This

>>2796866
good with me

Investments in fishing as well as expansion are well and good due to the money that has come to the government via selling food, but as soon as an attempt was made to solve a problem caused by winter, it went and vanished, and in came the spring. Agriculture is expected to take a while to recover. In addition, seers who had made their way to East Lopen have stated that their pillar also appears to contain a massive soul, causing more speculation within the astronomer community as to what exactly their purpose is in conducting mana (as they are believed to do) to the sun. Is it possible the world is dying? No. Well, probably not. The point is no actually knows, alright?

As for the peace talks on Wolf Island, all those who had gained land are holding onto it, and a 50 year non-aggression pact comes with that. Raids on the human lands are also in the news, with recent raids being highly successful, more so than usual. As such, the government of the Ringborn has decided to invest state funds in future raids over the next decade or so.

Create a government position called the Tyrants-Hand or Hand of the Tyrant. They will be diplomats appointed by the Tyrant during times of war to accompany generals and to be in charge of diplomacy with other nations when it presents itself. Although if a Hand is not appointed, the general will be in charge of any diplomacy.

Faction Project 1
After talks with the Lopen, you are allowed a refuge within their ancestral forest. However, the sounds of giants walking is louder than you expected. You can now say that regardless of the situation, if a tree falls, you can expect it to be quite noisy.

Faction Project 2
It seems that this crop of recruits is not ready for the next level, and while your already existing Berserkers make some progress, the newbies have barely a handful make it through.

Faction Project 3
You succeed in collapsing areas of the temple. That was the aim, right?

Personal Projects 1 + 2 + 3
The book sells quite well... however, High Priest Tai's profits all go into his belt, which ends up just being a piece of moldy leather that appears to have some jewels on it. The High Priest may not have the best eyes, as evidenced by that, and it grows worse in old age, though his habit of groping the faces of students to remember who they are is seen as odd by some.

The Tyrant's Hand position is created, with mixed reactions at home. Some of the older generation are veterans of the war, with survivors of the Battle of Isarn sprinkled in, and largely they support this move, seeing Loris Metalar's actions as having damned an entire generation, but traditionalists as well as many younger folk oppose this, seeing it as a potential powergrab for future Tyrants. In other news, scribes in the jungle have once again been caught slacking off.

Not much else to report abroad, other than warming relations between the two groups of Lopen.
