The Silver Scale Confederacy is a union of local kobold tribes under Grand Chieftain Pip Pip. A short kobold with unusual silver scales, he is a necromancer and cleric of Mak Mak, the god of death. He conquered most of the other tribes using an army of skeletons and scared the rest into swearing fealty to him.

The capital is Pip Pip Port, located at pic related. It's major exports in addition to the obvious fish and salt are lumber, spices and dye.

The average kobold comes to age by six. While a kobold can naturally live up to 120, the average life expectancy is 22.
Average Height: 2'2"/66cm
Average Weight: 35lbs/15.9kg
Diet: Omnivorous
Coldblooded
Hates: Gnomes

The average kobold eats whatever it can get and includes pretty much every living thing that isn't a kobold.

Honestly I've enjoyed all the (active) countries from last thread. Each one had something unique about them and the interactions were enjoyable. (Everyone fucking up Qedar, Parznippians fucking up the ocean, Shillaria manipulating other countries to fuck up enemies who get in their way.) I kinda wished there was a detailed system for armies and tech trees. Quests like Help Wanted, early Gnoll Quest, Neckbeard Warlock, and After the Fall feel like they have good progression systems to me.

Tile: 25
Name: The Revel
Color: Navy blue
Capital location: Dead Center of 25 (a portal that looks like a literal void of nothingness at the bottom of a cliff face)
Appearance: Androgynous satyrs that use their antlers to differentiate sexes with purplish-navy blue skin (think female draenei with deer antlers, but a little less feminine)
Culture: Researchers and Party Animals that worship their creator: The Reveler, a god of knowledge and debauchery with a strict, if fairly limited, moral code that is made of the concept of nothingness and stars (the raiser up of the light from darkness)
Technology: Renaissance-era magitek that uses strange voidaic energy as both a power source and a source of weaponry

Culture: Militaristic Aztec Slavers who dabble a lot in blood magic and feudalism. Worship Armenok, god of Blood and Conflict. Blood must be spilled or else he'll reforge the world anew out of boredom.
Technology: Mostly medieval, but with a schizo arrangement of borrowed items from around the lands.
Magic: Blood magic, might be demonic, usually done with the power of sacrifice.

The Silver Scale Confederacy has a number of distinct cultures, the two most widespread are the Gips and the Miks. Gips live in the swamps and coastlines and are accomplished seafarers and raiders. They build their homes either in trees or floating villages. Grand Chieftain Pip Pip is a Gip. The Miks live in drier areas and prefer mountains and hills. They live in the southern part of the Confederacy and usually make their homes in natural and unnatural caves and cave structures. Both cultures speak different dialects of the same language and worship the same gods. The gods are as follows.
Mak Mak: God of Death and Winter
Ki Ki: God of Life and Spring
Dos Tu: God of Fire and Summer
Kot Tu: God of Harvests and Autumn
Each one demands separate places of worship and rituals to be made in their name. It is not rare for clerics of different Gods to come to blows over simple things, sometimes escalating into open warfare even within the same tribe.

Shills were definitely militaristic in nature. They wiped out Highlanders for years, made them surrender, and forced the former king to lick a Shillarian's balls in a power play. If that doesn't deserve a +2 for "militaristic nature" then I don't know what does.

Also they chose to settle next to Shillaria. Who openly had enough power to capture 3 tiles from turn 0. They knew what they were getting into.

Shillaria focuses on building borders like it had in the previous dimension. Learning from their previous experiences they try to make it even better than they had before.

In a time before time, in a realm sequestered deep within the immaterial chaos before reality, four teams of 4 beings each played a Great Game with the goal of ascending to godhood and creating a universe. Half of the beings of two teams would die and the remnants would merge before the ending of the game as the 12 gods made a new universe in their image. Eons would pass and life would grow and flourish across their creation, helped and hindered by the gods as their whims ebbed and flowed.
One of these primordial gods, Arkanyct, Fracturer of the Null and Engineer of the Labyrinth, would begin experimenting and learning. As he was a god of knowledge and light formed from the concept of nothingness and shadow, he set about learning all he could and casting that which was hidden into the light to be examined and known by all who would seek it. Soon, he came upon a strange flaw within their universe found deep beneath the subspace he carved the Labyrinth from. It seemed to be a weakness between the chaos and their universe.
As he studied it and experimented, he soon realized it was possible to both recreate and repair this flaw and with that he set forth with exploiting it, safe in the knowledge that he could stop whatever would happen if he did. What he found excited him. By forcing this flaw to yield to him, he was able to do more than just open a path into the immaterial chaos. He was able to create a bridge to other realms beyond the universe he created. He then closed the newly made portal and rallied his servants, his faithful Revelers, to set forth into a new world and carry his will with them. The revelers were excited to do as their creator willed and under his careful guidance set out to prepare for their journey. Once their provisions and a mostly disconnected base were set up, a portal was opened into a new world that allowed the band of revelers to prove themselves to their maker.

The revelers are a strange folk. Reminiscent of cervine satyr similar in height to, though slightly shorter than, humans with a physical appearance that is almost perfectly in-between the stereotypical masculine and feminine forms, though very slightly leaning towards feminine. Their swept back antlers are the main judge of both age and gender. Males usually have more branch-like antlers with the older members having many more points than their younger contemporaries, and females tend to have fairly clean antlers with the older ones developing small sequential spike-like knobs along the length reminiscent of the branches of the males. They resemble slender, humans from the waist up with no hair save their eyebrows and above, but from the waist down they resemble mule deer with hooves more reminiscent of elk in their size and proportions. Their skin and hair is as pic related, though their skin is typically towards the middle of the spectrum.

>A bonus to creation based on the number of successful rolls to research it with one roll per turn or just one success means you get it?
depends on what youre researching really. something like battle drugs for example -to stay relevant to you- would take one good roll, while something more complicated lets say napalm would take longer. its also based on your infrastructure, look at Shillaria and their industrial complex, if they were to research something mechanical i would give it to them way sooner than to someone else.
but as a general rule of thumb unless you ask for something ridiculous it takes 1 or 2 good rolls or maybe 3 and crits are crits here too.

The Wohali swamp dominating the north of the Confederacy land is a dangerous place. Many have found Mak Mak's embrace within it, which makes it a perfect place to look for corpses to fill the ranks for the new Silver Scale army.

While our ancestors may have thrown mass numbers of themselves against their enemies, we thankfully now live in more civilized times. While the fleets have little to no use of undead seeing as they cannot perform anything more than simple tasks, armies have found the undead to quite capable replacement of the living as the central core of any fighting force. The raised dead don't need to eat, drink or sleep. They don't complain about long marches or heavy equipment. They don't break when taking casualties, and they follow every order to the letter.

That's not to say there's no downsides to having and army of undead. The most obvious weakness being the necromancer controlling it, if he were to die the whole army would quite literally fall apart, and without being constantly told what to do they undead would just stand around doing nothing. The dead also don't have the brainpower to do other things an army needs, like construction work or patrolling an area. Instead jobs like that fall to the living.

Most armies also contain a small elite corps of heavy infantry, trained by the clergy from birth, to protect the group of necromancers keeping the dead in the fight and to plug any gaps in the front lines. They also have a larger group of lightly armed and armored militia taken from the local tribes for reconnaissance, patrols. Most of these are armed with a mix of bows and spears with whatever armor they can afford.

As the Imazeeb continue to expand peacefully the Kalars and the steel song have begun quarreling with one another. The steel song being a house of nobles are advocating for the terraforming of the desert while the kalar being a nomadic clan are pushing back against it for to them the desert is a sacred and eternal to change it would poison the spirit of the imazeeb. The tension has led to A small Clan under the kalar to declare a duel of the assasins against a neighboring house and a great tournament will be held between the two, Assassinations political or otherwise has been temporarily sanctioned so long as the proper paperwork has been filled out. This will go on until one of the two factions are declared the victor of the duel of the assassins.

Imazeeb and Shillaria work as one for a joined cause: helping the shaken Shillian population. Their efforts are not in vain, fires are prevented from spreading further then extinguished and many civilians are are rescued from the remains.

while meth is not completely unknown to your people, it never became even remotely wide spread. after taking a closer look at its possible implications, government founded studies find that it in fact could be used as a battle drug with varying success, tho for the price of your soldiers long term health. now you are meth with a choise (ba-dum-ch), either take a turn building a factory capable of reliably producing enough for your military or import it from the deer people (>>5587167).

Rather than getting a long winded explanation they are just imparted with the general knowledge and average clansman holds. Those imparted with the knowledge suddenly get a strong sense of honor and overwhelming compliance to their traditions and beliefs. For those imparted with the knowledge of imazeeban culture they know that it is as vast as the deserts they originally inhabit though they are all held together by their tie to the great whirlwind and the law between all clans, failure to follow the law means exile not just physically but spiritually for their souls are thrown out from the whirlwind never to return until they atone for their crimes.

The imazeeb requests shillaria's aid in building our first cities, perhaps we can use those land vehicles for constructions?

>>5589341
Sure. When are finished with our construction we'll head over there to help.

Thank you for your understanding gentlemen, from now on I will be back to the normal 2 updates a day.

One thing I forgot to mention before: every country has a military force of 1 by default, meaning essentially it functions as an army, except its free from modifiers, cannot siege and cannot be killed in battle. so whenever (You) attack your roll becomes:
1d20 + <units>*1d20 + <modifiers>*<units>
where <units> is either the number of armies, ships, etc. involved.

meaning here: >>5588507, Hasdurn could have rolled an additional d20.

the rationale is that this way technically unarmed states can defend and attack too.

the victor is decided by hierarchy of aspects where in case of a draw the next is evaluated.
it looks like this:
number of natural successes > number of natural failures > roll sum > defender

for every deciding crit a unit dies on the losing side and exactly 1 unit dies if the losing sides roll is less than half of the wining sides.

and if it wasnt clear the number of military actions (You) can perform per turn is ultimately decided by the number of you units you own.
for example:
>>5588507
>>5588617
Hasdurnite may lay siege to the Qedarn city on the border and attack the Qedari land with his base 1d20 or ignore the city for now and pillage onward with 1d20+1d20+2, but if he had 2 armies he could split them, using one for sieging and one for taking land with very good chances, or of course do just one with even better odds.

please let me know if my rambling cannot be understood.

Shillaria invents a line of flywheel based vehicles. they have no engines of their own, rather there are many stations located in the densely populated areas where they will hot-swap the outstandingly heavy and fast spinning rings which store the energy that gets converted to -from the perspective of the people- useful work.

We're going to research better applications of void energy in industry and weaponry. Our maker was able to invert the concept of nothingness to make things and we would like to attempt to understand how, but failing that we'd at least like to understand the power it can hold in our material and martial endeavors.
We're also going to colonize into 31 and build more settlements. Having a bunch of land and resources is great and all, but we're starting to run out of space for our population.

We'd like to help Qedar as we are on their border, but they didn't respond to our diplomatic mission so we don't currently have a way to hammer out agreements. Oh well, more wine and wenhces for us.

>[1d20 + 3 x1d20 + <modifiers> x 3] correct?
absolutely, however there is one exception that seems to become relevant soon:
the base 1d20 does not apply if your armies fight abroad
so say you send over 2 armies to Qedar to help against the Hasdurn, now the roll of those armies becomes only: (2 x 1d20) + (<modifiers> x 2)

one more thing, when you agree to send military units to aid in a war, please settle on who will be rolling for them / deciding on their exact orders.

Actually, the site was down for 6 hours. Apparently there was a debacle of sorts on /vt/ and /r9k/

Supposedly there was some vtuber drama involving Hogwarts Legacy, and the stans of the vtuber uploaded a disturbing amount of info about the harassers onto /vt/ and the mods didnt see it or did nothing and it just sat there with people doing whatever they wanted with this very intimate data and then the glowies got involved and the site had to be closed for 6 hours. This is the story according to a thread on /v/ that has now been archived.
see >>>/v/629961751

According to /r9k/ some mf hacked some thing to do with facebook/meta and released something on 4chan. This incurred the wrath of Zucc and so the site was closed while the mods tried cleanup.

>God is on the side with the best artillery
my idea for its mechanics is that an artillery unit is that it cannot engage in battle by itself like armies and cannot influence the actual outcome of battles. however, when firing it gets a d20 and if the roll is over 14 it destroys an enemy unit. it may fire at the enemy regardless of whether its battling or not.

We continue our expeditions and research. We will also build some forts near our settlements and connect our road network to the Silver Scale's so we can more easily trade within their borders and not need to travel by sea for easy trade.

The Hasdurnites see an unfamiliar ship enter their port and a small group of blue deer-like satyr emerge from it. "We are the Revelers and we bring trade and seek wisdom and knowledge of your people."

The Shillarians see a strange ship enter their bay and a group of blue deer people exit onto your shore. "Hello there! We are the Revelers and wish to know of your people. Perhaps we can also establish trade with you?"

your spies describe the countries culture as a blood orgy, where the stress is on blood. their way of "normal life" would be considered lunatic by Kalar standards, not to mention Steelstrong. they will cut up their own on the streets for apparently no reason, not rarely resulting in death without repercussions.
however it is also clear that Imazeeb force could easily bring them a quick end.

"A dangerous land huh...... Well it's fine. We're peaceful anyway." The diplomat is handed 2 cups of wine. "You want to learn Hedonists? Shillarians are the best teachers in the world." He spits into both of the cups. "When we teach a lesson, our students never forget." Quickly, he pours the spit out of one of the cups as it has only reached surface level. "Let's have this wine symbolize land and the spit unwanted beings." One of the cups of wine is sullied as the saliva permeates throughout the cup. "Which wine would you prefer? This one?" He raises a cleaner wine, if it wasn't witnessed to have been spat in moments ago it would appear perfectly delectable. "It only had that yucky thing for a moment and it was cleaned out instantly." He then goes to the other cup of wine and tries to pour it out. Fruitlessly he just ends up pouring more wine than spit. He eventually even resorts to digging his fingers in the cup to fish it out. "This one only had it for a few moments longer but it already ruined, no matter how much we try to fix it." The diplomat effortlessly tosses the dirty wine near the hooves of the Reveler, letting the sand soak it up while he drinks the "clean" wine.

"There, I think we've all learned a lesson haven't we? Who says manners aren't practical? In our so called 'dangerous land' wouldn't manners not only be practical but make it less 'dangerous'? If you make yourselves appear as those unwanted beings then we would want to get them out of our beautiful land yes?" He raises the cup in the air, drinking crimson wine like a waterfall, then wipes his mouth. "Wouldn't you hate it if the thing you loved got ruined because you intentionally choose to hurt it out of misplaced pride?" He stares at the cup on the ground. "I assure you we don't need anything from your country. With that your country's business is finished correct? Since you have no further activities here and no favorable trade dealings I hearby invoke Charon's Law and demand you move from our shores. Good day." He then slightly bows while an army of Shillarians waves you off.

The gigantic ship turns towards Reveler shores. It moves faster than one would imagine, generating waves from miles away which are large enough to cause minor damages to your port. Then it stops and much smaller ships are lowered into the water from the upper deck.
These ships gently pull into your harbour. Each has dozens of men armed to the teeth who look extremely on edge.Soon it becomes evident that they are not planning on disembarking, instead a monk looking young man comes forward and starts reading from an ancient looking book.
Hes words sound nonsensical to Revelers on site, clearly a foreign toung. Then it changes, new tone, new rythm, and again, and again. What initially was assumed to be chanting is now suspected to be the same message in a palette of languages. Surely enough, in a few hours the man arrives to yours. While hes pronunciation is border line insulting and he uses a few words, that sound authentic, but no one uses them, but its quite clear, that its an invitation of your leader to the large ship apparently named "Nirvica".
this scouting party will not be able understand anything remotely complicated, so you may not negotiate with directly them.

you have plenty of psykers and an academy which will i assume will produce even more soon.
i would prefer to not have to manage dozens of units following your armies, so propose that you may combine 5 psykers into a psyker squad.
a psyker squad may perform any spell that individual psykers could, but may also attack as an army, with the only downside that they must move and -if it comes to that- die together.
how does that sound?

Arcanyct is kinda based off of me and like three characters I've played and the revelers are extensions of that in a "chaos daemons are parts of their god" kind of way that only extends to personality as there are revelers who have left the Revel and become unaligned individuals in a few campaigns.))

your delegation is taken to Nirvica and lead to a grandiose, windowless, but well lighten hall somewhere on the quarter deck filled with finely dressed elderly men. its safe to assume that its their parliament.

then it is explained that Nirvicas people set sail thousands of years ago to the advice of their God. it has been hundreds of years ago that they last encountered land, meaning no local has ever witnessed it before. some has even assumed that "land" is only a metaphor.
afterwards the politicians start indirectly talking. they assure you that their intents is exactly as peaceful as yours -regardless of that much be-. they have no intent of setting foot on your land and they will depart soon.
however they are open for trading, both knowledge and goods. the former meaning mostly ores, you see, they have been slowly running out of them. when asked details, an astronomical quantity is spilled that they would require. as is, suddenly removing so much value from your economy would surely cause a great depression. in exchange they offer a sapling of Nirvica and all knowledge on how to raise it.
after some confusion it turns out Nirvica is not a ship per se, it is the name of a tree (visible on front) and the ship is made up of its living roots. this tree is as old as their people and served as their home even before it were converted to a vessel. this tree species is extremely resilient, regenerates quickly and not lastly considered holy and enjoys the blessing of the Gods. it can be used to grow arbitrary structures.

I thought we built more void towers last turn? Anyways, we go forth and begin to industrialize our workshops with the new void inversion tech borne from our understanding of our creator.

>>5598591 (You)
After a short amount of deliberation, we are open for trade with the Nirvican ship, though the amount of ores the want would take multiple turns to fulfil, even with our decreased need for base materials.

with all honesty, it disturbs the Nirvicans to be in such a close proximity to land so they stress that they would prefer to leave as soon as possible, therefor you acquiring the materials by whatever means necessary would be greatly appreciate (and politely expected).

We have invoked Charon's law yet still do you not budge! You have been given more than double the time we normally give anyone, so we can only assume your claims of innocence were lies of a saboteur! To defend our homeland from you invaders we shall force you into the hands of your God! Should your kind continue to harm our land this conflict will evolve in to a declaration of war.

And so I'd like this to be an era of peace. We would like to officially inform you of any disturbances you may have witnessed on your southern island. A ship of another country has been parked on our shores for many years, and even after invoking Charon's law to demand they move they stubbornly refused. You may understand how we Shillarians feel when unknown entities are parked in our lands for too long. And so, we decided to remove them. We've noticed you change too. What used to be Qeadar's former friend is now their enemy vying for control. That's none of our business right? You haven't harmed a single Shillarian or Imazeeb yet so it shouldn't concern us. Just as removing invaders from our shore shouldn't be of your concern, correct? So as a representative of Shillaria I'm here to propose a deal. Let your business be yours, and let ours be ours. You wouldn't want to go to war with 4 entire nations do you? Granted one of them is being taken over, but that still leaves us, the Qedar, and Imazeeb. We are not pushovers as you can remember. Also let me remind you of the most important detail of this agreement that may slip your mind. Warfare does not only extend to physical combat, information is a combat all on its own. You wouldn't get involved in our business and participate in an information war would you? Well, I'll leave it to your rulership to decide that. Let us both be better than the animals we were, Hasdurn." Just as soon as he arrived, he left.

The Kalar and Steelsong Diplomats squabble in the gathering halls endlessly over the skylari problem. Victory has been swift but it was not complete nor did they expect their enemies to undertake such unorthodox tactics yet here they were discussing a course of action. Diplomacy had been first as per the customs of old had dictated a form of mercy was to be extended to a foe but no clan nor house wanted to do what was required of them when the skylari refused. They would not have the repeat of the thulun's bloody conquest once again where the foe was put to the sword for they left their home to leave the cruelty and thirst for blood that came to encompass the great houses and clans of old. Finally one of the diplomats from The Cadari Clan spoke using his psychic abilities to empower his voice "The Problem we have created for ourselves cannot be solved swiftly with words nor can it be solved by the sword ot psychic might. If we will not put the population to the sword then we must outlast the blows that continue to resists our authority. Forts must be created within the territories of the former skylari and we must bear down upon them until they come to the table.". The Kalar and Steelsong diplomats quietly discuss amongst themselves before one of the lesser houses of the kalar voiced their support and then another and another until a coalition of lesser and independent formed around House Cadari, A sizeable house made up of Qedari that joined the imazeeb during the old wars of conquest.

>OOC NOTE FOR REVELERS: I've swept through your posts and your species nor country have any means of communication such as telepathy or radios to realize that you ship has been attacked. Your country is nowhere near us and both of your other ships are entangled with other countries and getting involved with trade. The only way not to metagame and realize this has been an attack on your ship specifically is for you or an ally to check out the wreckage.

the partisans answer you at last. they are willing to submit to you under one condition: the Imazeeb must show that they are willing to respect their customs and that they will be a better leaders than their previous rulers who neglected their God by not allowing them to shed blood. the only way to prove this in their eyes is to arm them and sent them into battle right now or never. the Skylari resistance will attack, either you or for you.

((The ship off your coast was part of the expedition I sent out to gather info about the world, hence why I never specified it move from your borders. Since OP missed the line about us welcoming the ship home and building more void towers, it was just sitting there even though it shouldn't have been as >>5599687 (You) points out. But since that wasn't fixed until after you posted, it doesn't matter anyways.

>Law of Manifestation

>>5599687 (You)
Continue our ore shipments and we continue believing that the vessel we welcomed back last turn was the explorers. Next turn we'll begin researching how to use void inversion in our weapons, as we have already utilized it in our workshops and consumer goods and there are certainly more uses for it than just creating trade goods and materials.

The Cadar make a counter offer in which they skylari are split up into houses and are obligated to follow the same laws as the imazeeb. Which does include a clause where houses can declare wars, Embargoes, and other bloody ways of conflict resolution however there are strict code of conducts when fighting to prevent all out escalations. They also outline that some people that work for the good of all imazeeb must not be harmed in any circumstances such as psykers and foreign dignitaries

OP AND REVELERS: Please give Revelers back their ship since they actually retracted it. We can just say that Shillaria targeted some random pirates.

Shillaria is first and foremost, a country focused on trade and advancement. Due to the nature of the Oligarchy they are under, citizens are allowed to trade with countries on their own, with a tax for leaving and coming back of course. Although the decisions of the government had been mostly isolationist in this new world, some of the older Shillarians made their way to trade with other countries. Some went to their old friends the Imazeeb, others brave enough to go back to the Hasdurns, though they were often thoroughly searched and sometimes imprisoned for doing so. And then there are ones who seek new frontiers. The Silver Scale Confederacy and The Revel. Although the citizens never really traded enough for the whole country to actually gain a new resource, they gained something equally important. Knowledge of their culture. Of course, those who know the true nature of the Shillarians know this information isn't going to be used solely for a good purpose. When word reached the Council, they ordered they fire up the printing presses again for a bold move....

Rolled 5 (1d20)

THE SILVER SCALE CONFEDERACY

Sailing over Pip Pip port, many citizens like Port Master Tik could see bunches of objects flying down at them dropping from a giant bird. While there may or may not have been some initial distress, the population quickly finds out that these objects were pamphlets that warned them about something. A potential invasion. It depicts a menacing Dos Tu overlooking Hasdurn while they shoot fire out of sticks murdering innocent Qedarians. After the Qedar fall, they march to slay the followers of Mak Mak, overcoming winter and death itself with their flames. Pip Pip will die and the Confederacy will fall because they chose to ignore the prophecy. The papers encourage followers of all the Gods to either fight or flee, for one God's existence will be slain. And with it no ruler over death, and no one looking over the souls of the afterlife. The only way for balance to be kept it to defeat Hasdurn, and stop Dos Tu from breaking the balance.

THE REVELERS
The peaceful satyrs were minding there own business, lavishing in the luxuries of hedonism when suddenly, a great mass off objects appeared in the sky. Due to the alcohol and drugs most of the citizens consume, there wasn't any particular worry at first. It's what was on said objects that were of great concern. On the paper pamphlets it depicted the all knowing god Arkanyct chained. His right hand which was once holding a goblet of wine is now spilt over. His left hand containing an indecipherable tablet. Behind him is King Dorkmann with a text over his head. "Your void will mean nothing against the Fool of Fire." It was a prophecy that if the Revel didn't do anything, their God would destroyed. Other pamphlets show the Qedar and Skylarians enjoying wine, dancing, and music only to be murdered by the Hasdurn Highlands. Even further behind them is the Revel and the Silver Scale Confederacy also partying, but looking concerned as to what's happening right beside them. It's clear they would be next, even those who didn't particularly care for their god.

Rolling to resist the propaganda.

>>5600723
While some became distressed many more didn't care, seeing the possible conflict as a far off possibility. Only a fool would take the warning of a strange rain of paper from the sky, but the leaders were reminded of the parting words from the Hasdurn leader:
>"You come from west of the Qedari River? May the gods have mercy upon you when we march past it."
Seeing the possible implications, despite the bad directional sense of the leader, the leaders of The Revel agree that weapon improvement and navy and army building should be taken soon as a defensive measure. Additionally, the source of the pamphlets should be investigated and given that one nation close to the Hasdurnites was absent a few of the leaders have an idea of where it may have come from. It seems that even here, there are servants of Jeuali...

its not propaganda its just what we're going to do

with the Reveler economy momentary redirected deadlines are met. the Nirvicanians in exchange teach previously unimaginable botanic techniques and dozens of new species which could be used to produce new drugs, many tons of access wood that they had just piling up and the holy sapling of course.
as their business is done they start packing. before they would depart they ask for the advice of their new found friends on 2 subjects:
which way should they be getting around the continent, north or south?
would it be a good idea to say hi to other civilizations or are they better of avoiding them?
