The border regions should be easiest to influence, the swamplands hold some rather stubborn communities. The Knyazdom of Olfa has been attempting to expand its own influence according to rumors, into the lowlands inbetween.

Diplomatic efforts in the border regions were quite successful, with many marriages being struck. The people there are quite similar to us, speaking the same language and sharing our cults. The major feudals along that border have all benefited to various degrees from the shifts in power and relations.

An abundance of iron allows better and larger tools to become more widespread, making fewer peasants rely on their fingers when it comes to planting. The scythe is becoming better known to peasants, as well as better cattle-mounted tools that improve the efficiency of fieldwork.

Dumin have built ships for many centuries, but only in more recent times has the craft seen some change, from the simple canoes of old into some vessels using sails and oars, the technology having spread along the Alga when the first Kalborans arrived in its upper regions a century or so ago. Boats are used for fishing and transport and are of varrying sizes - all ships built in our lands are usable along the Alga, Grozhna and the sea coast. Making a ship is no small task, however - for it, a large amount of resource and craftsmanship is needed and thus it is usually done by artels - informal collectives of craftsmen from larger villages and towns. An artel may typically build one or two rivergoing ships every year and they'll be used for several years on average. Ships are usually built in winter or spring, when fishing is harder or outright impossible. In some places, there are entire small forests, including a few small islands on the Alga, that are dedicated to the growing of trees to be used for shipmaking and in more traditional communities the making of a ship will include a priest of the Wood cult and the Water cult.

A ladya is what one would call a proper river ship in our land - now, basing our designs on what we've seen from the Ursir, we've built the naboinaya ladya - the battle boat. The Grand Knyaz will dedicate a large part of his funds to building such boats in the coming years, as the time of peace won't last forever.

Three of the ships were lost to a harsh storm once we went beyond the coastal waters. The two that survived the storm emerged on the other side to find an island, yet in its shallows a fourth vessel was lost, the hull punctured and the sailors being swallowed into the waters. The fifth ship stayed at a safer distance, merely observing the island for a bit before heading back home.
From what we can say for now, that island is the only thing we've found in the west, beyond the point at which we were comfortable with sailing. It appears to be of middling size, with steep terrain rises and rocky shallows. The Water-faithful among the sailors who survived this expedition were quite disheartened, some of them speaking of old sailors' tales of the deepwater rusalkas and their lairs that must not be disturbed.

Most of the people who came were not too impressive in their demonstrations in the Grand Knyaz's eye
"If you need me to drink some concotion of elderberry and youth's piss to see these smoking spirits, then perhaps they are not at all so impressive" he said, sending one off
"What you did there, I've heard of it being done by eastern physicians - it's hardly a miracle of God to apply the proper skill in setting a displaced bone back into its proper place." he said to another
One man was of certain interest to the Grand Knyaz, however - blind in one eye, he put cloth over both nevertheless to further deprive himself of his sight, yet despite that was able to read random writing presented to him, to correctly tell how many fingers were held up and similar queries. He was the first one to be of true interest, a diviner it would seem - yet he used his opportunity to speak afterwards, removing his cloth, to address the Grand Knyaz and the Duma members present.
"A bird can not fly with a single wing, nor can it perch atop two trees at once. Your hearts, split in halves, will give no life but that of death to Dvoreshka should you remain so blind and foolish. You, Grand Prince, whose faith is worth no more than this sack I put upon my eyes, your time will be over soon enough and the hearts of your people will be put to test. Rivers of blood shan't quench the screaming fires and suffocating snows, for the Wolf and Bear may fight, but it is the Raven who feasts."
The diviner turned around and left on his way. The guards nearby went to stop him, but the Grand Knyaz, clutching at his heart, told them to stop. Once the old diviner had left the palace, Boril-Gregor fainted, though thankfully he woke some time later. The Grand Knyaz is quite old now, over half a century of life behind him. After his recovery, he seems to spend more time praying than actively working on matters of state.

The Grand Knyaz, through his envoys, has negotiated with Olka and Ursir. Trade along the Alga and the sea coast can begin and be undisturbed and nobles from Dvoreshka can safely travel in Ursir. The Grand Knyaz believes our northern neighbors aren't interested in warring with us now - rumors claim Hrork's sons had conflicts over succession and control of their realm in previous years.
Olka is eager to get involved in the south and are making their preparations for war against Olfa. It's up to us to start the action.

Several southern tribes have accepted our gifts and sworn loyalty to Dvoreshka's Grand Knyaz; Some have turned them away and declared neutrality; Others have firmly rejected them - in particular, the swamp-dwelling tribes - who have allied themselves with Olfa, who have gained friends elsewhere according to rumors - the first border skirmishes between Olka and Olfa had warriors from Shlin aiding Olfa. Grand Knyaz Boril-Gregor has penned and sent his official declaration of war and is now calling upon his vassals to assemble their armies...

The Zagadka have spent the decade using their increase in wealth to expand their borders by building a series of watch towers around their domain's borders. These structures will act as both territory markers but most importantly warning systems so in the event of attack people within can begin to escape before the attackers are upon their doorstep! Fortunately all the materials needed are already here! We have wood from the forest and iron and Stone from the mine itself! The goal is just over one tower per year, honestly a simple task. (Each tower contains a warning horn or gong.)

The House of Radjan is not known for wealth, thus the warrior in its service can’t be expected to rely on their equipment to win the day. But, there are other ways to win battles.
The Samograd and Uzhnei tribesmen under the rule of Radjan are to engage in regular drills, with an emphasis on quick movement and adaptability when it comes to utilizing close and loose formations. Hit and run tactics where the enemy is pelted with javelins before a rapid charge is launched should suit their rugged homeland well enough.

Tribe of Vyat:
Settled by the coastline west of Svetales, the Vyati have always been undividedly devout followers of the Durvid. They are concentrated in the coastal town of Celllom though many farmsteads dot the plains inbetween there and the forest's edge. Great value is placed upon honor with duels over personal slights commonplace among their foolhardy youths. To dishonor yourself by lying or breaking your word is paramount to committing murder in their eyes. Even greater is the pursuit of glory that drives their people to organize raids upon the Mochorans to the north. While some would consider them pessimistic, the Vyati simply view death as a transition between either being reborn once more or joining the ancestors in a blessed existence. This burgeoning warrior culture has climaxed in the ascension of Boyar Stanimir who has begun organizing his people once more for a time of war.

Assets:
-Small Coastal Town
-Scattered Farmsteads
-Small Ranger Order

Faction Project: Construct a Bowyer for the mass manufacturing of high quality bows

Our people have long favored the bow for it's ranged capabilities but the task of making them has usually been delegated to the hunters themselves or lone specialists. This hasn't been a problem until recently when the establishment of the ranger order marked a sharp increase in demand for high quality bows. Simple craftsmen reassigned to the task create weapons barely fit for hunters while the true bowyers are so little and far inbetween that they could not hope to match the production needed. Staminir ultimately decides to have the accomplished bowyers take on apprentices from the craftsmen and for them all to work in one location where they could organize and delegate any tasks efficiently. He would personally oversee the construction of a complex suitable for all of their needs along the outskirts of Celllom. Woodcutting operations would be expanded as well to supply the Bowyer but only with Durvid supervision to ensure rite compliance and that only what was necessary would be cut. Surely the tribe's close connection with the trees would allow them to churn out bows both faster and of higher quality than their competitors yet doubt often crept into the back of his mind. Staminir dearly hoped this would enable the order to flourish while providing Vyat with it's first trade good beyond simple produce.

The tribe of Rade have long dwelt in the town of Blatnik as simple farmers, hunters and craftsmen never being truly wealthy but never truly sinking into poverty. The Bolyars of this land have often sat content with what they have but not the newest one Blago Brutislav! Raised in Olka and a world traveler he has set about making his home great and building it into something beyond a simple backwater!

Knyaz Blago Brutislav would reach out to the minor Boyars whose tribes live along the trade road towards Serebrin. One by one he would seek to convince them to join with his Knyazdom in exchange for building each a small motte and bailey castle to defend their holdings along the road.

The Forest Cult
Devout worshippers of the trees, the forest cult are fanatically devoted to the protection and worship of the eldest trees in the forest. Spread thinly across the main forest that they reside in, many members of the forest cult are primitive hunters who maintain the land around them as shepards as well as living off of it. Occasionally they'll head into town to talk to hunting/lumber groups, to share tales, trade animal furs, or trade rare edible plant materials/drugs to the populace. Otherwise, they are reserved to many scattered areas across many forests, centered around the eldest and grandest trees in the area. The elder babas and wise sages of the cult regularly take natural drugs to allow them to commune with these forest spirits, gaining their infinite wisdom and learning how best to protect the forest, which usually involves putting religious markings on the bark of the oldest trees which serves as a sign to lumberjacks to avoid cutting these down.

Assets: Forest spirit communing, natural drugs, knowledge of nature, wise elders, basic ranger training grounds

Faction Project: Woodland expansion
With the large degree of funding from multiple sources being flooded into the Durvid forest cult, it's prime time for a general expansion. Currently we only cover a small portion of the forests throughout Dvoreshka, leaving hundreds of thousands of trees unmarked and unguarded. This expansive effort shall seek to fix this issue, with more priests being recruited and trained, more forest caretakers being indoctrinated, and more small forest shrines being built to commemorate the trees of the forest. The main goal shall be to at least cover the majority of the forest of Svetales, but should that end up covered then the cult shall look to expand its look to the forest of the Alga river, possibly planting a large number of trees between the two to connect it into one large forest.

The Noiseless Strides

Our leader has always been the same for millennia, Overlord. It matters not who they were before they donned the title and clothes, except save one, their mastery of the night arts. Preferring the moonless nights to the sun-filled skies, they walk amongst the shade wherever they please. They are into everything and nothing. Opaque is the word, for when you believe you have grasped them, they disappear.

Gymnasium (Serves as gambling club)
Banking house (Serves as thieves den)
Whorehouse (Serves as assassins guild)
