support, we will keep harrassing them and with the different traps we know how to make they wil have an hard time. Especially when they make camps for rest.

This is our homeland, and we will make so that it will be their grave.

Cut off from the rest of the nation, supplies and food are no worry, as Nichitin is home to the greatest amount of supplies possible, and spring has provided ample food for you. At the same time, however, there is a chance they will eventually come upon Rypella and its refugees. But for now, you will attempt to harass them, and keep them off their footing.

Give me three rolls.

Your campaign of hassment goes quite well, the leg breaker strategy implemented in the past having really come through for you here. On top of wearing down their morale and ever so slightly chipping at their numbers, an opportunity has presented itself to cut off their supply line. Perhaps due to overconfidence or the issues of guarding a supply line in the jungle, they have only left a skeleton crew guarding it to their rear, and breaking that with a small force could force them to move south in search of supplies. However, you may also be able to just strike them at this point, superior numbers and morale giving you the edge.

What will you do?

Keep going with the harassment campaign, and destroy their supplies lines.

Your raid goes fantastically well. WIth only a few dozen men surrounding their elephant pulled caravans, you kill them and move to watch the army's actions as they realize what has happened. And indeed, their army does begin to move south! Most people seem to think a strike is best, but you could also move to set up traps and defences before they come back north once they link up with their supply chain.

You elect to begin setting up new traps to stall them, and to sending the smaller force further south. This is a dangerous task, but if you burn their supplies now, you may stop them from returning north and thus end the war.

Give me three rolls for setting up defences, and three for the efforts of the raid group.

Your defenses this time about were rushed and uneven, the stress of the war finally hitting your men as they rushed to prepare barricades and traps outside the capital and saw their burnt homes and surroundings. However, the small squad sent further south did incredibly well, intercepting a large caravan that appeared to be the result of a request for extra supplies. As a result, it appears the gnolls have no more plans for attacking you for now, and the construction of the wall continues. However, given that the temple is now within your territory, it is expected a new offensive will come from them sooner rather than later. Despite the damage that has been done to your territories, many are overjoyed by the fact that for once you have managed to end a war having bloodied your foes more than they have hurt you.

The great wall has begun to be torn down, and is being used for other things, specifically a fort for the temple and to bolster the walls of existing towns. The other development is the beginning of the commercial farming of the Nichitin palm, a type of tree that for countless years has had its fruits plucked and eaten within your country. However, the oil contained within the fruit has been found to be an effective substitute for butter, and can also be used to make soap. As such, these fruits have started to be drained and instead used for this purpose.

Over the past year, the strange spider Ozatl's followers have been spreading his message, and he himself has appeared physically before you. If the tallest gigantula could grow to the size of an elephant, he is 2 times as big. His message calls for a holy war against the gnolls, and for you to pay him tribute in return for blessings. For example, Steinin, his messenger, has had his lifespan doubled, his carapace turned white, and has received strange powers. However, a great deal of the population opposes this, holding faithful to Rok and the new subculture it has inspired in Nichitin. This tension has not yet peaked, but there have already been a few minor brawls.

...Oh, and also there are fried bugs too.

The problem before you is a difficult one. On the one hand, a powerful god that blesses his followers and could potentially directly intervene in the war is a great boon. However, to do so would anger Ier, and Rok is followed by a majority of the population, who are truly devout. However, as both sides wish theirs to be the official religion of the state, it is brought to the Legs to decide.

For now, freedom of religion is kept, although that has done nothing to quell the actual issue at the heart of the matter. The tension still lives, after all. In the east, a minor diplomatic dispute between Isarn and the Ringborn looks, once again, about to blow over into a war while Ier and Reptia are still recovering from the drawn out conflict they had with Homeria. It appears that Opetia, meanwhile, has formally set up Capantan as the major trade hub on the lake, investing significant resources to make it such.

Your work on metallurgy advances as autumn starts. Specifically, you are now finally capable of working with bronze and crafting less crude weapons and armor, though you buy most of yours from foreign sources anyway. This in time may allow a metalsmithing culture to emerge in Nichitin; for now, you will have to wait and see. A major bit of news has spread across the continent as well, as Ieran ships have finally recontacted the human lands far to the north. It appears that the dozens of warring city states of centuries ago have consolidated into several larger, less aggressive nations, each with their own living god, much like you and the gnolls.

Faction Projects (Year 30 and 40)

The Clutch of Jarkith devote much time to developing suits that will protect them from the stinging insects of the jungles... Using those suits they will attempt to capture an insect they believe has the most potent sting of them all.. One they call "The Executioner."

They will then use the captured "Executioners" and start breeding them, using their suits to protect them from harm. When war comes, we will take the hives and package them into boxes which we will then lob at the enemy, cracking them open and releasing massive swarms of insects with a sting like none other!

After all... We have a harmony with nature, perhaps we should use it.

Your research into masonry, while not allowing you to reach anything resembling the ruined architecture that surrounds you, does blend with the attributes of your people quite well. Buying limestone from Ier (the jungle does not have an abundance of rock, more so clay), your advances allow you to build larger buildings and different designs, using such things as keystones, and due to your spider silk, this can be further reinforced and just generally look nice.

Despite the fact that your cuisine was not exactly designed for consumption by other races, your neighbors try it anyway, and like it! The bugs give your dishes a sense of exoticism, though it turns out that you can tolerate far more spices than your neighbors, so you have to tune that down a bit. Beetle flavored chocolate? Chocolate flavored beetles? They'll eat it all! And good for you as well, given that they don't know the difference between good and bad bugs, you can sell them the latter!

- Name:
Clan of Zhu
- Leader Name
Zhi Zhu, an old spider with a love of knitting, eating and telling tall tales to his many grandchildren (despite never having travelled more than a days walk from his home).
- Description
The members of the Clan of Zhu can be easily recognized by their hairy bodies, especially their huge eyebrows.
They pride themselves on their hard work, faith in Rok and loyalty to their kin. While chiefly farmers, they are not unwilling to defend their homes or go on exciting adventures (providing it’s not too dangerous that is).
- List of Assets
A settlement
A number of farms

Faction Project: Warriors of Zhu
The world being a dangerous place, especially with those mean gnolls attacking all the time, the elders of Zhu decide that they need to be able to stand up for themselves.
Thus they shall dedicate their efforts upon training their kinsmen to a higher level than the ordinary militia, perhaps with the assistance of hired foreign instructors.
Also, to make themselves easily recognizable to the foe (ideally to keep them from attacking at all) they shall all wear cool identical headbands.

The lake is becoming a greater center of economic activity. We should work to build up our own settlements on the shores to secure our own holdings here and support future endevours. More defenses to deal with future wars. Larger docks for trading, fishing, and boat building.

Hickixch the Black's totally not biased suggestion that you should totally improve where he lives you guys, for financial reasons, he swears, results in the rebuilding of what in the distant past was known as Taerok. While still a shadow of its former self, the rubble is thrown into the water, and the walls rebuilt from something more than just dusty, shattered stone. Lastly, all is quiet regarding the gnolls, with your ships to Capantan not returning...

Many claim the harp was a Ieran invention, but your own people take an issue with that. Stringed instruments have long been a facet of your culture, and that was supposedly the case long before ghouls ever came to this land. Harps, lutes, and zithers, however, are now accompanied by singing and drumming, introduced by ghoulish nobles. Your own rich and powerful pay for these types of performers in an attempt to replicate them.

Ampitheatres are constructed in Silkstorin, Texain's Achintac, Nichitin, and the Dustbowl, specifically designed for performing plays, and hosting visiting dignitaries, leaders, etc. However, an unintended effect of this is the spread of Isarnite play culture, which plays a large part in their own entertainment arts. Plays such as the Tragedy of Ier, for example, are performed, or at least that one is until the Brotherhood nixes it. You still have not heard from the gnolls, and the Legs are worrying at this point. Fall also starts.

Scouts are sent out to the border to assess what's going on, while at home you begin to prepare for the war by assessing your numbers and how much is in stock in the granaries. Given it is the start of fall, it won't be all that much, summer and fall considered the drier seasons by far.

Your traps are more than adequately set up; the issue, as it generally is, is being able to tell where you put them. As for the south, your scouts go by both boat and land, but only a few men sent by boat return. They're not injured, but a bit shocked. It appears that Capantan has been attacked by the Danzay, their cane toads slaughtered and statues toppled. The Danzay army that has done this is led by beasts they call dread gnolls, standing 10 feet tall and wearing a hideous, black metal that appears dark as night itself. They do not appear to be marching anywhere towards you, but your boats were seen burnt on the shores of Capantan.

Will you do anything?

>>3969904
Get ourselves into position to skirmish and harass the gnolls when they enter our territory

>>3969904
Keep an eye on their movements. Get the men alternating between drilling in preparation for an attack and collecting what They xan from the harvest they can

>>3969907
>>3969917

The men prepare for an attack that never comes. It appears that for now, the gnolls are fine with fighting gnolls. You have received no news from Opetia since their conflict has begun, but judging by that lack of contact and further scouting reporting no new movement, it is likely they are recovering from their losses.

Biremes and triremes have begun to be constructed in Azca, which along with the coast and the Black Brood's land, are developing into a fine little coastal region for your nation. This will also allow expansion into a navy when your country wishes, one that the Legs are hopeful will keep the gnolls at bay. The public is happy with this of course, the dread gnolls being quite a fearful thing, indeed.

With the older gigantulas around the size of a well fed camel, they are the perfect size to outfit them with heavier equipment. With silk blankets attached to their harnesses, projectiles and weapons should prove less effective against them, making them a dominant war beast in this jungle of yours. This is especially the case due to the death of the larger dinosaurs that once roamed these woods. A good thing, as well; gnolls have been spotted near the border by your scouts! They are visiting the temple frequently, and bringing out the Colossi when done...

You find two more temples in your region, one by the lake, and one on the border. While all sorts of artifacts are dragged out to be distributed by the government, the temple on the lake contains a tomb marked with spiders, and further examination shows that this temple was one of arachenian make, presumably made by your distant ancestors. As a token of good faith, Ozatl has been demonstrating its effects, growing your average arachenian to just under the height of a Dread. However, only 100 of these Sentinels can be produced with his current powers. More worship would increase their numbers, he assures you, which sees more begin to convert...

As we have found success as obsidian craftsmen, we will expand that operation to meet the high demand and build somewhat of a brand. The shitty jungle hut, out of which we are currently running the business, shall be greatly expanded using our profits, so that more craftsmen can work, study and live there. It shall be turned into a large somewhat monastery like complex, were the precious stone is worked, copper fittings and items are made and new craftsmen are rigorously trained to meet our high quality standards. Each item produced here shall bear a little mark, two stylized eyes behind a net, to identify it as being made by us.

(FPs will be answered before next session, but right now I'm just going to focus on the expedition. If you haven't posted your characters yet, you can post them whenever, just try to do it ASAP.)

Your trip to Ier will run through the north, stopping in the Dustbowl in your own territories, before crossing the Great River to the pillar & Enkirok. From there you will be moving southeast to Ierok, home of Rok and the largest city on Alamara. As this trip is safe and without danger in terms of your travels, you have a choice of how much time you'll spend at each city before returning home.

If you're bringing any specific sacrifices, go ahead and give me an idea now. Generally gnolls and animal sacrifices are what is accepted, their blood spilt on Rok to satisfy his hunger.

As for your travels, departing from Nichitin generates a unique sort of buzz among your group. For some of you pilgrims it is your first time leaving the nation, and for all of you, it will be your first time in the heartland of Alamara, Ier itself. Some of you hope you will be close enough to see the River Pillar, a key monument of the ghoulish nation, while others just wish to see the cities of Enkirok and Ierok, the twin gems of the major cultures of Ier, Painted and Ieran respectively. As you stock up in the Dustbowl, this excitement only heightens as you meet ghoulish traders (or rather, the bandits who are selling wares they have stolen from their fellow ghouls). They speak fondly not only of those areas, but of the Temple of Rok, the Tyrant's Palace, and other locations you have only heard of.

As you near the river crossing, you encounter a breathtaking sight. The River Pillar towers over you even from the other side of the water, jutting into the clouds. You assume the distant shapes on its sides are the settlement there, a large town established by the Painted many centuries prior. As you pass it, however, and grow closer to Enkirok, your astonishment grows as you meet strange folk painted in grey and white dyes, made out to look like skeletons. These are the Painted Folk, you believe. When traveling abroad they shed their colors to travel without being noticed, but here you see them in their true forms. As you reach the city gates, you find them rich enough to even decorate their guards with your dyed silk. While Enkirok itself is of typical ghoulish construction, a cave sits at the center of the town, and you see many shops and stalls for both the arts and magic. To your delight, they seem happy to meet you.

Go ahead and give me a roll for your action while you're here (or an auto 50), and vote on your group action.

It appears some form of festival is going while you are there, and as such, you get yourself drunk on sorghum beer, and eat what you can of camel. Apparently, due to their population being widespread across the farmlands of Ier, they are well known for their food camels, and can afford to eat more than a few. You also get your face painted, the grey and white highlighting your eerily pale chitin. You get more than a few ghouls passing by and giving you odd looks, calling you a spook.

>>3979288
>>3979292
You two learn about the magic of the pillars. It appears that these great monuments are scattered across the world, each either active (and sending mana to the sun for some unknown purpose), or "dead" for some reason or another. While there are relatively few theories as to why these pillars are dead, there are several regarding the sun. Most Painted believe the sun is some form of being or god, with the pillars providing it energy to keep the world lit. It's further suggested that the sun cult of the gnolls, which most gnolls other than Danzay follow, has a link to the pillars as well, with the gnolls sacrificing to the sun in the same way ghouls sacrifice to Rok. It's assumed that when enough interference with the pillars occur, "Lights" happen. They definitely don't know this because they nearly caused one themselves, no sir.

>>3979294
You set up contracts to sell the onyx, but get overwhelmed by the amount of people wishing to sell to you in return. As such, your day is largely wasted, though you ensure profits for yourself.

>>3979300
>>3979301
You two are knocked out when a drunk camel falls on you. You do not have time to question why it is drunk, only enough time to let out a scream before it all goes black. You survive, of course, although it appears curious onlookers have taken part of your shedding chitin.

>>3979303
You manage to establish contacts, but like Naktin, fail to do much other than that at the end of the day, leaving you disappointed.

>>3979304
You quickly establish a few contacts among some of the Painted here, especially those of the inner city, where the merchants live. Having gained their favor, you should see them in Texain's Achintac, where they'll trade their wares having come to know you. You spend your night drinking and talking with them, until the early hours of the morning.

>>3979310
Your distaste is known, and you get into a fight. Luckily, as pilgrims, you aren't held accountable for it, but more importantly to you, you knock the fucker out.

-----

When you wake up in the morning, you go to the cave in the center of the city. Your patrons in the Brotherhood who are funding this trip along with your government have secured a meeting for you between you and some of the younger Painted leaders, who dwell within the cave.

"A pleasure to meet you," says one in broken Chitter (your language), clearly having just washed and missing his paints. "I am Akh Azhir."

>>3979330
"Greetings Painted one, we have travelled far and are in wonder of your city! So vibrant and bountiful. We hoped to establish a lasting way of trade with you"

>>3979330
"Greetings, apart from our pilgrimage to Rok, we come mostly to trade, enriching both of our people in the process. We also bring dire news about the Gnolls to our south, they have threatened our borders many times and while we were able to push them back every time, recent reports have us worried. They seem to have had a civil war and one particularly hostile nation seems to be consolidating power. They follow a heretical religion that demands our extermination, and so we expect them to be on our borders once more soon enough. It probably means little to you as it is a far away problem, not directly affecting you for the foreseeable future. But mayhaps your brave people will be able to aid us with some men when the time comes?"

>>3979330
"It is most wonderful to meet with you. Your people seem to be quite fond of our silken fabrics. Being in part, a purveyor of such goods, I'm quite glad to see your people enjoy them so greatly."

"Thank you for hosting us in your gorgeous city. I m Laxhin Redwire.

Other than trade, we also want that our republic and Ierok have better relations."

>>3979357

>>3979330

>>3979330
"I greatly appreciate your city emissary, we are learning much here. I hope to learn even more about your magic and history. Oh and have you and yours ever found a ghoul named Mono going through these parts? He disappeared some time ago and hasn't been found in our lands down south so maybe he got lost" I give him some details

>>3979357
>>3979337
"Indeed it is as they say, in the past our people worked together. Many would see it that way again, yoking our respective peoples strengths. Your might and our economy combined at your leisure of course"

>>3979337
>>3979356
Akh chuckles at this, beginning to paint himself.

"Yes, well, we tend to buy a bit more of the undyed silk than that you've already touched."

Gesturing with one hand to his now grey face, he grins, the whiteness of his teeth standing out like the marble of Isarn in contrast to his skin.

"We have more than enough of our own paints, that is."

>>3979353
>>3979357
>>3979367
Listening to you talk about trade, the gnolls, and relations, he mutters something under his breath before shaking his head slightly and responding.

"Abandoning your people certainly wasn't the first choice of my own, but the Tyrants of the time had other plans. I would be happy to establish better relations, but that isn't my decision I can make for my people or for all of Ier. I think you'll find outside this city a different view in regards to your people. Ier seeks to regain its foothold on this continent, and domination of Alamara includes you."

>>3979377
"Can I join the painted?"

>>3979377
"And how do your people factor into these plans?"

>>3979377
>I would be happy to establish better relations, but that isn't my decision I can make for my people or for all of Ier.
"Then let us all do our best to increase trade between our people for now, so that they will grow closer once more."

>>3979377
"Well regardless i'm sure as a gesture of good will you would appreciate something like this. Your people seem to see the value of such things as we do. Cooperation is always fruitful when goals align from time to time"
(I am offering him the Light Magic Dagger)

"Ah ... well that s interesting.

"We're our own culture, but if you wish to take on our customs I very much doubt anyone will deny you that."

>>3979389
"We are loyal to Ier, even if we have our own goals. We would seek to rein in the excesses of the Tyranny, however."

>>3979391
"That is agreeable, especially as I hear a few of you have set up individual contracts with some of our merchants."

>>3979396
He shakes his head.

"Keep your blade. If that troubling news about the gnolls is true, you'll need it more than those of us sitting pretty in the grasslands."

>>3979402
"The current Tyrant is Khash Metalar. He is in his older years now, but his mind remains sharp. Be careful. Under him, we slaughtered the humans and enslaved what remained. He is responsible for the resurge of nationalism as of late, along with the Brotherhood."

He appears to want to say something more, but holds himself back.

>>3979363
"I'm afraid not, unfortunately."

-----

After exchanging pleasantries with a few more, you depart for Ierok. As you travel, you hear word that the Isarn and Ringborn conflict that had seemed to have dissipated a decade prior has just turned into a fullblown war. It appears that the Ringborn had blackmail on the leader of Isarn at the time, and used that to prepare for war, marching their troops only now, after his death. As you draw closer to the holy city, you see more and more people traveling the same roads, more than you've ever seen moving in one group. And that is when Ier becomes visible in the distance, several buildings coming into sight as well. The walls of the city are the tallest you have ever seen, built from weathered limestone by ghoulish hands below, and on the upper reaches of the wall, by giants. A massive building overlooks it all, twice the height of the 10 meter high walls, its architecture jagged and rough, but glittering in the hot summer sun.

Why becomes more apparent as you reach the city gates; it is gilded in glowmetal, an ancient metal that along with bronze formed the backbone of the ancient Ieran army. As you enter the city (after initially being halted by tall, intimidating guards), you go bug eyed. Or uh, more bug eyed than before. The city is carved of the same limestone as the walls, buildings stacked on top of each other as if designed by a madman. The hustle and bustle is overwhelming, and you group around in order to not be drawn into the crowd. Giants, gnolls, humans, and ghouls all move within the city, traveling around your party and through it, though not ignoring you. Unlike Enkirok however, the eyes on you seem more greedy than curious, and you are very nearly enslaved as you enter, only your Brotherhood guide arriving in time to stop such a thing! So this is Ier, you think... fascinating.

As before, you have an individual action and a group action, as well as your visit to Rok.
