Your search this time ends up being massively successful. At the foot of the mountains you uncover opals, and on Coasthugger, iron is finally found in a more proper form. The southern coast of Taelia, where your coal mine is, you also end up finding gold. The iron mine is granted to the Curstags due to an agreement made previously (one seemingly made to keep the Allo family from gaining more power over the mines of the state), while the opals are given to the Allos. The gold, however, is maintained as property of the chiefdom, with a cut being given to the Gunardhsons and also the Leredhs. In other news, the Natoyans are almost finished rebuilding from the war, while the Hilgotians are still feeling the effects of so many dead men. As such, trade is largely based on your interactions with Natoya and the Lavingi.

Once again, your masons are proving themselves to be superior to those of any other nation. The streets of Taelia feature ornate designs and delicate craftsmanship, with many buildings purely made out of various types of stone you have available to you as a city based on the coast. In comparison, Freland's architecture is indelicate and grim, and the wooden structures of most of the other cities you know of look childish in comparison. Only Celia can compare.

In other news, it seems the rumors about Esaudh have been confirmed. He is refusing to communicate with his priests, and has only told them how displeased he is with them for the killing of the stag.

Your metallurgy improves as your smiths begin to work with the gold you have now unearthed. While soft metal smiths make up a smaller portion of your general population, they are growing in number due to the volume of gold coming out of the mine. Some do fear that the gold will be made worthless if there is so much of it, though. However, the chieftain has other things on his mind.

A raid on Natoya by several families, clans, and more, led by the Curstags, has taken much loot from your neighbor. Along with enslaving and taking whatever is valuable on the island off the coast of their capital, the raid also burnt many of their ships. However, they did not burn all of them. Their sizable navy, now greatly reduced, has been put to work stopping all trade done on the Bay of Seals.

"Raids happen all the time. Whats wrong with them right now?"

>>3206562

>>3206582
“This raid just cut off all the trade.”

>>3206587
"You worry too much Paxter. Where there is a desire for something, another will rise up to the task. You dont expect people to just not trade now do ya?"

>>3206582
"Many of our club's members have complained loudly that they are unable to make any profit or trade any goods due to the Natoyan blockade, that your greed caused. It's only just that those who caused it must pay for the suffering of our craftsman, and of our people as a whole"

>>3206587
We the Gunardshon Clan still has trade with the Natoyans.

But if may not last for long if the Curstags are allowed to roam free, against the benefit of our people...

>>3206597
"As I said before>>3206594. This is but a minor upset. Like a rock in a calm pond the waters will return to their tranquil state and your craftsmen will be able to trade again."
>>3206605
"I'm not sure we'll have been able to stay peaceful with them for long. Eventually we'd start trading and settling more along the bay. Causing us to bump shoulders with them more often."

Your navy as it is right now is quite limited, with five 20-oar ships making up the majority of it. If you were to raise ships from traders, that number could be brought up to around twelve, but it would also require paying for it. There is a possibility you could hire more from the Hilgotians or the Lavingi, but doing so would require going through Natoyan waters or charting a course south through unexplored areas. Currently, you have enough weapons and armor to suit 600 men, with the armor mostly consisting of cheap, copper helmets and coats worn over a boiled leather (cuir bouilli) garment. Copper shortswords are the weapon of choice for all but the officers, who use spears. Some bowmen exist as well.

The Natoyans themselves fare much the same in terms of armor, except that they, from your knowledge, use iron weaponry in combat. However, the use of swords is still the same, along with bowmen. Their navy, however, has 30-oar ships within it, and contains five of these ships.. However, if they are preparing for conflict as you are, they may be building more.

What will you do?

>>3206613
Build up more vessels at a size of 30 oar ships.
Start phasing out our militaries copper armaments for Iron ones.

backing these guys we need more military asap

Intrigue: Cuula is going too climb the mountain himself and try too commune with Esaudh, hoping to discover what is wrong with their Lord and how too assist him. If the priests are not saying things right maybe its best to get it from Esaudh himself...

>>3206639
The priests don't care, and they do not believe Esaudh does either. War is natural.

>>3206652
You get nothing from your visit; the priests have blocked off the way up.

The ships are made, and the spears ordered, all being completed just before the end of the year. However, while that itself is costly, your lack of trade is also biting into the coffers of the chiefdom...

While the herd grows, and you do try to breed it in certain ways, they are certainly not large enough to ride right now.

>>3206676
Your newer slaves are not as well trained, but those coming from the original raid are selling decently.

>>3206678
You manage to capture one of the ogres, but they do not make good slaves at all. However, you are able to gain some money by building a small fighting ring and letting challengers attack the thing. And while you were in the north, you also happened upon some form of spice which sold well when you returned.

>>3206680
Somehow, your bread business continues successfully. You make up a decent amount of bread sales within the chiefdom, and if all goes well, you will make up more in the coming years.

>>3206685
Your clan has continued its regimen of bulking up to the point where doing it any more would be wasteful to other things they could be doing.

>>3206688
While Crater Island has begun to develop, the forests remain dangerous and elusive. You have found several signs of spirits, but whenever you get relatively close, something happens and you are forced to leave, often with a number of you dead. Your instinct says to seek Esaudh, but the priests are still refusing to let others see him.

>>3206695
While there really isn't any currency available, you have been successfully making money this way via the various rare minerals recently discovered.

>>3206696
Your training goes well, and your sailors are quickly becoming known as the toughest around. Useful for the coming battles, you would assume.

>>3206697
Your farms continue to do well, and you are able to build your farms. Your family is one of the most respected around, at least, for a family of farmers.

>>3206701
Your farm on this island has been recently set ablaze by the Natoyans, and its people enslaved. It seems like this was their choice of revenge.

>>3206703
Your taming is going well, and you have even discovered there are several different types of bison. The smallest of which seems the easiest to tame, and as such, you are doing quite well with them. It is fair to say you are close to taming these ones entirely.

(FYI, faction projects are generally assumed to have taken place over the past ten years. However, if it's a project that seems to take place over the next ten, I won't penalize you for it, unless it's shortsighted and something happens to interrupt it.)

>>3206688
While you haven't been able to relocate the city, with the help of the Rodhars, masters of these woods, you are able to translate your metal tablet after digging through the ruins. It reveals that this was indeed once a city of spirits, a group of spirits who were using the ogres found all over the continent for slave labor, which was the foundation of the city. Esaudh was one of these spirits, but something occurred, and he and other rebellious spirits brought the city to its knees... the tablet mostly curses him, the other spirits, and the ogres.

Focus on destroying the Natoyan navy using the superior range of slings and spears, a ship needs only a few of it's rowers to die on one side to stop it from functioning. Use bait merchant ships to draw them out.

While the baiting with merchant ships will not be possible on the open sea, slings and spears may indeed prove useful. Give me three rolls for scouting as your navy attempts to locate the enemy.

You soon find the enemy's fleet near the island that the Raends had settled on, where their ships are milling about. They make no efforts to attack you, yet. Their numbers appear slightly inferior to yours, with your guesses ranging between 14 and 18 ships. However, with their greater amount of men, that may prove important.

What will you do?

>>3206914
Move to engage them using the slings superior range to whittle them down before they can attack us. If they get close use spear throwing and distance to kill their rowers. The goal is to disable their rowers thus stranding their ships.

Sando of Rodhar has a proposal!
Our ships stand little chance to defeat the enemy in a straight-forward battle and they have seen us now. Our navy should attempt a diversion, perhaps head in the direction of Natoya, quite visibly, to draw the enemy away for a bit. Sando and whoever else volunteers could use this to take boats or a single ship if we have no small boats towards the island from a different angle, land and find a place to wait in ambush. The navy avoids a real battle, at most a skirmish and then pulls back; When the Natoyans take time ashore, we'll attack them in the most opportune moment - at the very least causing some damage and disarray which our fleet could seize upon.

As you move to hide within the woods, night falls, the only light you can see being dim torches near the buildings that lie on the edge of the forest, towards the dock. It is several agonizing hours before the enemy finally returns, but when they do, they are tired, if happy. It appears only a few of their ships have returned, but that is still enough to assure certain death for you. As such, when you strike, you do so with relish, knowing that the knife you grip, the fear you see, and the blood you'll spill will be the last things you'll see before you join Esaudh in the sky above...

While the snapping of twigs may have given you away a little, no Natoyan could believe their eyes as you emerged from the woods. At least, until, the first few men lay dead as you rushed them, blades in hand, and began dropping them to the ground. However, some of the faster to react are attacking back, and you are losing men faster than you had hoped. At least you have something to look forward to, most of you suppose. The fear of death does not strain you as you continue to attack!

Now alone, Sando falls upon the blade of the latest man he was fighting. He can feel his heart growing weaker, but the pain no longer matters. His body is past that, not even strong enough to hold itself up; the sword is holding much of his weight, above the grass, now wet with blood. His eyes are past that, looking beyond the dead, and the grim faces of Natoyans glaring at him. They look at the last thing that man will ever see: familiar ships in the distance.

(For some actions that I consider easy to get done, I'll take the player's better roll, such as in this case.)
As you progress up the mountains, the priests indeed stop you, as you noting the presence of many Erodh family members. Your assault on those who would block your way goes extremely well, leaving many of them unconscious, and others so terrified they flee the mountain altogether. You complain to those who remain about the lack of freedom of the people in their worship, which the priests nod along to, though you're not sure if they're agreeing or don't want to get hit again. Upon inspecting them, you find that most belong to the same group. Their name isn't important, they merely represent the top of the religious totem pole that has been present for generations.

However, that is not what you are here for. It is to talk to god. Approaching the summit of the mountain, beyond which you are generally forbidden to enter, your men read aloud an apology drafted in stone days prior. Unlike what the gossip says about the priests, however, Esaudh responds to you.

"Do not weep for what you have done, my children, but for what it has caused. I do not wish any more to speak to those same priests, but at the same time, I will not fight them. I am more disappointed in that they saw the need to trick you. I am your god, and you, my followers. I shall not harm you."

Then he falls silent, and despite your pleas, you hear no more from him.

Some of the priests appear to have followed you, as in the following weeks, news of the god's message spreads throughout the chiefdom. Perhaps these clergy have changed their ways, because the words Esaudh spoke remain mostly unchanged as they change from place to place, though the details of your assault go from a mere fight of resistance against those blocking your way to a deadly ambush on your heretical enemy in the mountains.

With three of your ships taken out as you skirmished with the enemy on the waters near Natoya, you managed to only cripple a single enemy ship. However, as you move towards the island base of your foes, it seems the distraction has worked, though all your men are likely dead or captured. Most of their ships are scrambling to pull out of the harbor, chaotic and unorganized, while a few have yet to unmoor altogether!

While you have certainly caught your enemy offguard, those vessels which have drawn out of port move to counter your approach. They block off your path to their ships still coming out of port, and archers fire from atop a number of decks, serving the same purpose as your sling men. Your organization, however, may prove key, as the battle continues, with all ships in the water still engaged in combat.

Unfortunately for your men, the enemy's ships are largely already out of the harbor now, their blocking of your path having served them quite well as their fleet had relatively free passage. While you are going man for man in terms of the oarsman, their larger ships appear to have enabled them to have more archers on board, which is making a difference as some ships in the water begin to slow down and move oddly. They also appear to have mages on board, a few of which have flung fireballs which have cost you time as you put them out. This is due to the injuries oarsmen have begun to sustain on both sides. However, for now, your enemy holds a slight edge even with their disorganization, though the fight is by no means over!
