Thrazir Aerenion found many things with his men. The moral of the legion was very high and they were constantly singing songs. Thrazir decided to not return, but go even more north. He was still seeking mountains or hills , to build a new settlement. Thrazir may be a young dwarf but he wasn’t stupid. He knew that the dwarfs needed to expand, the great city of Mirir Barakzad doesn’t have unlimited resources and space. So a new settlement would solve the problem and noble families that lost their holding could gain some lands back.

So the legion marched north and encountered hills, this was perfect. Suddenly a soldier came running to Thrazir and he’s guards "My lord there’s a problem savage beasts" and with that he died. He was covered in arrows, and blood everywhere. Thrazir and he’s guards were utterly surprised, but not in a positive way. "Guards follow me, we’re going to war!" and with that the guards followed him.

Thrazir saw many dead dwarfs when he encountered the 'battlefield', it were scouts. Not heavily armored soldiers they weren’t expecting anything when they were suddenly ambushed. Thrazir felt rage boiling up. He ordered every dwarf to be on their guard, and send a message to Mirir Barakzad to get support and begin assembling a new force. Thrazir ordered the creation of a little fortress.
And so the war begun!

Jelich was writing on piece of papyrus paper of their continued success on Aralakh Mountains. "The settlement has been constructed though, we will be looking to expand across the other mountains. We have made contact with the foreigners on the other side of the mountain and have managed to seal an alliance with them. Now we have a mutual, like-minded ally for Raere. All is well here. Iwill be building a scholarium here and was hoping that my two students, Lothrop and Blytrieaux be sent with your next delivery of wood and food. It will be great appreciate it. And ofcourse, we have mined more stone and metal ores for you for whatever project you may have for the future. May the stars grace us, May the cosmos accept us." - Jelich
--------------------
"And if it wasnt blasphemous enough, he's already conspired with them! Our purity will soon be compromised if we allow him to go any further than now!" Streinuard argues with Gagiel Ade in his throneroom having gotten Jelich's 2nd report a day ago "And yet, he still expects us to deliver him more resources to expand across the rest of the mountains! And his students to begin teaching the mystic arts!"

"That within itself isn't the problem, Steinuard. Though this unprecedented alliance was most unforseen."

"Unprecedented? He failed to even consult us on the matter at all!"

"He could not as no doubt, it was sudden and had to diffuse the situation at hand when it arose. I'm overall glad it worked out, even if this has gone out of favor with our mandates. For now, we'll continue to supply him with what Jelich and the others need. If anything, this will allow some of our population to migrate and take up residency on the mountains. The Blessed Woods cannot sustain everyone forever."

"We've barely covered half of it, Gagiel. Our numbers aren't that numerous. Can't you see what he's doing? It's as I've said, he's planning to compromise our purity by 'mingling' with the foreigners in a bid to 'cure' our short-lifespan."

"It is an obstacle. Hardly a curse I'd say. But more on a management."

"We have so many gifts, so what if we do not live long? Is giving up the blessing of the Empyre worth living several more years as fragile sticks and soft worms like the rest? I'd think not. Even if we aren't sure what would become of our 'crossbreeding', why risk it? Just out of curiosity? Some things are better left untested and unfound."

"That may be but as it stands,we are obligated to aid him until his subsequent return to Raere. We can only pray that this alliance and Jelich's ambition does not fell us."

"Agreed" Streinuard bows to Gagiel Ade

The Imperial Court was now in session, the Emperor sat in his chamber as his Ministers and Excellencies were preparing to propose policy and action to be carried out. Excellencies were designated cabinet members of the Imperial Court while the ministers were supervised by the excellencies to handle specialized tasks designed by the Emperor. The Chancellor would carry out his majesty's will on his behalf as was his duty. "So shall begin the Imperial Council, if anyone of his or her excellencies would be willing to step and make their suggestion, now would be the time."

The tradition was that the attendants of the court would stand one at a time, stand before his majesty and speak their proposal. The Emperor would offer his response and would continue into criticism, affirmation, debate, conversation, or dismissal. The first to stand was the Excellency of Infrastructure, who was responsible for construction projects and development.

"If his majesty would accept." she said bowing to his majesty. "Might I offer the expansion of the irrigation system in the rural outskirts of the Imperial City. I have made my assessments with the Excellency of Masses and Minister of Agriculture. They both agree that an expanded irrigation system can generate enough crops to handle the growth in population."

The Emperor looked to his left as he saw the two officials turning to him and bowing their heads. "Do his excellencies concur with this statement." The Excellency and Minister nodded in agreement.

"Very well, I approve the expanded irrigation system. Would anyone else like to speak?" The Emperor asked sternly. The Treasurer Excellency stood next as the Excellency of Infrastructure returned to her seat. "May I propose to his majesty the opportunity to invest in the development of the Imperial City, to build an outer wall and the construction of additional districts dedicated to businees and housing. The children of the Imperial City are growing by the number your majesty, it would be rise to present them with opportunity."

"Any objections?" The Emperor asked as he looked to the council. No one voiced their dissaporval. "Very well, we shall begin funding the development of the Imperial City after the council has been adjourned." The Excellency of Revenue returned to his seat. The Grand Marshal stood up next, "Your majesty, given this population crises I thought it would be wise to recruit more men into the Imperial Servants, we could use more men to protect our people from internal threats."

"I am inclined to agree Grand Marshal, we shall go ahead with the recruitment." The Emperor said without hesitation. The Grand Marshal sat in his seat with a smile. "Does anyone else have any policy to propose."

The chamber was silent. "Very well, I shall put these policies in through the Imperial Assembly and ensure that my will is carried." The Emperor said.

"This concludes this afternoons Court Session, may the chamber clear." The Chancellor boomed as he rang the gong signifying the end of the council.

Thanks to the Imperial faction in the Assembly, the will of his majesty was carried out. Albeit reluctantly by the two opposition factions who never really got a long with each other, the Populists and the Oligarchs.

-The irrigation system outside the Imperial city expands to more fertile land to make away for a rural migration.
-The border is set for an outer wall to create housing and business ventures for the growing population of Junyong

Turn 3, Week 4, Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

The world in such a short period of time was already working towards becoming a vastly different place. It was obvious that before long, many of these other nations will be coming into contact with one another, whether through peaceful methods, or clashed in violent menageries to prove their superiority and take land by force. Only time will tell what will become of the world at large. But Inziim was eager to see what may happen and what is still yet to come. For the first time in a long time, he was carrying hope in his soul for a better world of some sort when all this dust clears.

The Kingdom of Attolia
6 Coin, 18 Population, 2 Light Infantry, 1 Light Cavalry, 1 Engineer, 1 Wolf Unit

The new settlement of Foix was built near the edge of the forest, a bounty that was already supporting the budding kingdom. But just beyond the borders of the forest, inside it's depths lurked something that was disturbed by these humans that thought they could take its bounty and its livelihood. These forests were not for them to despoil. It would make them go away.

As the people celebrated their newfound good fortune, a large creature walking on two legs and covered from head to toe in moss emerged from the forest. It had two great big horns, and two large tusks and looked angry as it charged the settlement with intent to destroy it and the people that lived there.

Back in the capital, with the shaman's quarters completed, a shaman moved in to educate and guide the people in the ways of spiritualism and things of mystical nature. (+1 Faith)

----------------------------------

Ludia Maroza (The people of Frost)
5 Coin, 12 Population, 4 Tier 1 Troops

The conscripts headed into the mountain where they discovered the strange ruins of an ancient civilization. On some of the ruined structures there was a strange sigil that was swirl with a skull in the middle. There are some structures that are still partially in tact that could also be explored.

The port was successfully built with ease of the people and now boats can be built on the water.

A religious training center was built in order to train magic users in the ways of The Warmth of All Living. People will will be able to train well in this environment. (+1 to magic attacks)

----------------------------------------

7 Coin, Population 15, 1 Dragonfly Scout, 7 Bee Workers

The Tree Of Harmony was grown to great rejoicing of the people. It would bring great harmony and peace to the world as long as it is firmly planted within the ground. (+1 Faith)

The declaration of Harmony becoming the new religion of the people was a natural extension of growing the harmony tree. It continued to bring the people into greater coexistence with not only themselves, but a willingness to extend that harmony to others as well.

The newly built market place already brought in further coin from the people and would allow trading over land as well. (+1 coin and land trading)

The silence from the outside continued to persist. The orcs must be up to something and their danger still exists. A loud banging at the gates outside erupted from the silence and a haggard and rough around the edges elf burst in as soon as the gate was opened. "The orcs are building large weapons and they are trying to summon something great and powerful from the sea. They must be stopped or all will be lost." And with that, he collapsed into unconsciousness.

------------------------------------

11 Coin, 12 Population, 6 Iron Guards

The statues and altars were built, mighty and proud, contemplative and expressive. As soon as they were both completed, the people began to benefit from their the deal that Hanon had made with Vindicar. Magic seemed easier and more power suddenly, and works of great feats of engineering were suddenly available to architects and builders, inventors and painters. (+2 to magical attacks. Plans gained for Catapults, battering rams, chariots, and Trireme(Ancient greek Longships)

The guards moved atop the rolling hills and saw that on the way to the next hill, nestled between the hills was a large but decrepit ancient tower of some sort that reached up towards the heavens.

---------------------------------

Arrisia
7 Coin, Population 17, 6 Conscripts, 1 Wood Golem

The shared Eastern City began construction and would be finished as soon as Raere used resources and labor to complete it. A joint city would be an opportunity for greatness as well as possible social upheaveal.

Construction on a grand coastal city began. Once it was completed in another week, it would allow access to building boats and trade via the waters.

---------

5 Coin, 12 Population, 4 Tier 1 Troops

The Port was fully repaired allowed the construction of boats to travel the ocean either for peaceful trade or as weapons of war carrying troops and destruction along their path.

Major Religion changed to worship the goddess of the sea and good fortune fo safe passage across the vast oceans of the world. (+1 Faith and safety during ocean travel)

------------------------------

7 coin, 28 Population,
⦿ x2 Kobold Skirmishers
⦿ x1 Salamander Handlers
⦿ x1 Chameleonic Kobold

The creation of a refinery goes smoothly and increases not only coin production, but also the strength of the Nation's melee weapons. (+1 coin, +1 Melee attack)

The Nation continues to expand all over the island creating another City and another Port city for ease of travel and a greater level of population growth for their people. They have become a vast empire of the people in such a short period of time.

The Kobalds look around at their leader's orders and find the shattered remnants of strange blue crystals and a signage that is in a language they cannot read, but shows a picture of the very boat that they see, floating in the sky.

As The Chameleon leader unit slowly moves towards the construct, it's eyes light up a dark blue hue and it begins speaking in a language that they do not understand. When it notices that there is no comprehension, it begins to cycle through various other languages that are not understood before saying something in their own language. "This is air dock 12. All flights to the mainland are currently delayed due to a catastrophic magical storm. You may get a refund at the ticket office. Apologies for the inconvenience."

---------------------------------------

Nomad of Aloiss
7 Coin, 12 Population, 4 Tier 1 Troops

The spirits begin channeling nature in order to cultivate a forest that will grow and prosper, giving back to the land and opening new avenues for the people that inhabit it.

The spirits think long and hard and come up with plans for cultivation wagons to increase the likelihood of creating higher level spirits. Once constructed it will give them greater understanding, but they will still be a long ways off before they can truly make their dreams a reality.

-------------------------------

12 Coin, 14 Population, 6 Tier 1 Troops

To defend against future Orc attacks, the dwarven people built a fort upon the nearby hills so that they could have a better view and protect the mountain from any sort of incursion that might occur. (+1 defense on hill location with fort.)

The dwarven war machine continues as two more conscripts are trained to continue the fight for the conquest of the continent.

The twinkle still remains on the opposite shore to the southeast as though begging to be investigated.

--------------------------

6 Coin, 20 Population, 2 Builders, 2 Miners

Arrisa continued to build their portion of the city, while Raere's miner's mined in the mountains at their mining city.

In one of the mines, the sounds of echoes could be heard. But suddenly instead of just the miner's echoes, there seemed to be something else there as well, echoing in the darkness.

-------------------

Junyong

4Coin, 10 Population, 6 Tier 1 Troops

The irrigation system has been completed, adding to the beautiful bounty of farmland and aiding the people. (+1 coin)
The outer wall was created outside the city, adding to a greater defense of the city from invaders. (+1 defense)
In preparation for exploration and defense of the city, 2 more conscript units were created to add to the burgeoning army.

At the city limits stood a man in a thick black robe, waiting beyond the newly created wall. His features could not be distinguished beneath the robe, and until acknowledged, he would just continue to stand there at present.

------------------------
Principality of Serinia
5 Coin, 10 Population, 4 Tier 1 Troops

The Principality of Serinia has reached a point where it is ready to grow and expand. It is ready to join the world at large and fight the menace of magic while becoming a true world power in their own right.

---------------------------------------------------TURN 3---------------------------------------------------

Hanon had a great trust for his Iron Guard. When report came through of what this Iron Guard had been doing on the hills, he was proud of their accomplishment. Somewhere South East, the single platoon of Iron Guard began construction on a new settlement, one they'd call the town of Overlook. With the settlement prepared, the Iron Guard could look into this strange tower they had discovered. It was far more advanced than any construction they'd seen before, so their curiosity took over. They mustered their courage and began a short exploration into the tower to uncover its secrets.
(Settlement 'Overlook' finished [-2 turns], Ruins exploration [-1 turn])

The unit stared at their leader as he snapped back to reality, realising what had just happened. He stepped away from the boat, visibly shaken by what he had just experienced. For a moment his lower jaw quivered until he finally managed to compose himself. "We need one of the Kroakun...now!" With that several of the Chameoleonic Kobold made their way out of the structure to return to their nearest settlement.

One Day Later

One of the mighty Kroakun appeared at the entrace the Kobold had squeezed through. Massive in comparison, the mage and his floating palanquin would struggle to fit an arm into the opening let alone their entire body. However, the power of the great mages were second to none with nothing more than a raise of his hand, the opening began to grow, large stone bricks peeled away to create an entrance the Kroakun could enter. Once he had entered, the brickwork behind returned to it's former state as if it had remained still since its creation.

The mages booming voice echoed within the area, "So is this why you have brought me here?" The leader of the Kobold unit approached, taking a knee and bowing before the floating hulk.

"When I approached this ship it spoke through me, claiming that some sort of catastrophic magical storm was restricting flights. We worked out by looking at some of the nearby artwork that this ship is infact used for flight." The high pitched voice of the Kobold was a vast comparison to the Kroakun but it mattered little as the Kroakun let out a hearty chuckle, it's giant stomach shaking violently with each breath. "I really am not joking. These crystals look alot like Iluket." The Kobold picked up a nearby crystal to show the Kroakun who simply placed his palm out as sign for the Kobold to stop.

"I am sorry little one, I did not mean to confuse you. I was not laughing at you, but at how the Gods favour us with this gift." The Kroakun drew his hand back and rested it atop his monstrous stomach. "I will do what I can to get this to work...you may as well wait outside." Soon enough the Kobold unit moved outside, settling down for what could be a while. As for the Kroakun mage left with the boat, for as long as it would take he would try to get the ship to work. Utilising it's own vast magical power the hope was to get the ship skybound, whether it be to re-energise the crystals or possibly even the entire complex. Whether a day or a week, the Kroakun set about his task.

Elsewhere...

"I have spent much of the last few days preparing plans for a new school to train our soldiers. What we have now is not fit for the growth we have shown. The Old Gods weep with joy at the progress we have made in such a short time but they fear that while our population grows in size, we need more who are capable of fighting anyone who may try to step foot in our lands." Grand Mage Tokotol spoke out loud to TikTaq, the small Kobold advisor nodding in agreement at the giant Kroakun spoke. "I know that each and every last one of the Itzan will fight until their dying breath to protect our nation, but that alone isn't enough to defeat skilled soldiers. We must have the capability to train more soldiers at a time that we do at present." TikTaq nodded in agreement once more as Tokotol cast a glance over the rainforest canopy like he often did.

"TikTaq...There is no certainty in life beyond death, but I want to change that. I want there to be a certainty that our people will live on. Whether we spread our lands beyond this island or stay here, I want this to be our home forever and always." Beneath Tokotol the small Kobold sniffed as a tear rolled down his scaled cheek, trying to hide it as best he could. "That emotion you show is why you are my advisor TikTaq. My kind struggle with emotion, our link to the Old Gods and the way we are linked to the winds of magic make it difficult for to experience emotion as you and your brothers do. You keep me grounded where others would not...thank you for that."

In a rare event, Tokotol lowered his floating throne and stepped from it. A pair of thin legs miraculously supported his giant bulk He reached his long, slender arm down and touched TiqTak on the shoulder. "Few people have seen me leave my throne, even less still live. You shall want for nothing in your life my friend. You have done more for our people that most of my kind put together and because of that, our newest settlement shall be name after you."

The Kobold's eyes widened as he craned his neck upwards towards Tokotol. He tried to speak, every ounce of him wanting to decline the offer but he just couldn't force the words out. Tokotol saw the Kobold struggle to speak and smiled. "I will take your silence as acceptance." TikTaq hung his head, his chin rested against his chest. "Nobody in the history of our people has deserved this more than you." TikTaq finally mustered a scoff, looking up at his nations leader, finally allowing a smile to shine through.

The pair remained talking for some time after before TikTaq set off to begin the construction of the new martial training school.

"Good news, my lady." Avalynne turned towards Dhovan. She was in one of the gardens that was within the walls of the castle, she was finishing up taking care of some flowers before she would take to the streets. She was hoping that she would be able to visit a potential site where a church would be built to honor Nye'ite, Goddess of the Sea. Avalynne was hoping that construction could start as early as tomorrow, but she knew that there was no definitive date as other projects would have to take top priority over a church. "The port has finished construction, and we can discuss routes to other landmasses and alliances." Over the past week, Dhovan seemed to be stressing the fact of peace and alliances.

"As much as you have talked of war, Dhovan, I'm concerned there is something that you are not telling me." Avalynne replied a rose between her fingers as she twisted it in her palm, opting to stick it behind her ear as she saw the conflict within her Hand's eyes. There was something that he wasn't telling her, and it bothered Avalynne that he thought he could not tell her. "Dhovan, whatever it is - it cannot dampen my spirits, as I have found new peace within the religion established. The people are happy that we finally have a definitive deity to pray to - not countless fables passed down from family to family." Avalynne gave the Dark Elf a smile as he seemed to relax at this, although she could still see the hesitancy within his eyes. "If you want to sail on the open seas, I don't mind - I can appoint a temporary Hand until you return."

"It is not that, but rather, there is whispers of civil war amongst our lands." Dhovan did not know subtly, as he thought that it was better to say things straight forward even if he didn't know how to relay bad information. Avalynne felt panic rise within her as she wasn't sure on how to further act on this. "However, with religion being introduced it seems to have lost momentum. I do not see a civil war at any time in the near future." Dhovan was trying his best to soothe the young ruler, and while Avalynne appreciated it, it did nothing to soothe her nerves. "Perhaps making more jobs available that will busy their minds, as well as their bodies so that they will not be able to fight against one another." Dhovan proposed.

"While we have many tasks that need done, I feel as if that would cause more harm than good. Many Unnamed are recruited for the dirtier jobs, which are needed currently so that we can make the city more sound." Avalynne was not blind to the crumbling capital city, wear and tear from the sea has made sure that the buildings that were once beautiful resembled that of a ghost town as many inhabitants have opted for going inland and building homes at the edge of the capital. "If we do that, we need to do a raffle - lottery, or something, where at least one person from each social class and race is recruited for the jobs that we are going to employ." Avalynne stated. This was not at all going how she wanted it, although she knew that ruling the people of Avaleon would prove difficult - she never imagined a war amongst her own people. "We have to do something, change laws - find out what it is that the people are unhappy about. The less blood we can avoid, the better as we need every able body for the navy in case if any of those other landmasses decide to attack us."

"What shall we also do, in the meantime? Is there anything else that you wish to carry out, my lady?" Dhovan has never seen Avalynne like this, but knew that she did care for her people and wouldn't want any of them to do anything to harsh to themselves that could cause their numbers to dwindle. Avalynne looked up at the sky, blue turning to a light purple as she realized that it was turning to night and she still hadn't been to the construction site.

"I was wanting to construct a church, however, I believe that is impossible for now. I would like to expand Avaleon, however, I believe that we may need more troops before we try to do that. Just to ensure that Avaleon is protected while they go searching for lands that are more proseperous." Avalynne took the rose that she had previously tucked behind her ear and walked towards Dhovan. She put the rose in the inside of his vest pocket, and looked up at him. "Avaleon will not become a nation that has torn itself apart, nor will it be known as just the nation contained to one island."

"Yes, my lady."

Ravus Darkfell

Valerie Iceveil
The continent was vast. They had traversed the grassland for months, yet had not met a new type of Elementals. The abundance of the wilderness, however, netted them a few Spirits and Water Elementals. It was better than nothing. Across a vast bay, a gigantic mountain stood majestically far in the horizon. Ravus stared at the peak. His expression was hidden by the hood of his cloak.

"Darkfell!"

A familiar voice called for him, this time accompanied by the flapping of wings. An icy blue owl hovered in his eye level. Valerie had returned to her true form. That of a winter owl. Her huge eyes were slightly uncomfortable to look at. Ravus shifted his gaze away frinquisitivequisive stare and cleared his throat.

"Is this regarding the process of the ritual?"

The owl shook its head like a cuckoo. The progress of the Nurture of Nature Ritual went on slower than it was expected. Perhaps it was related to the difference between environment or another external factor, but the Elementals responsible discovered that they could not create a forest as easily as they could back in the ancient time. Ravus was helpless and could do nothing but command more Elementals and Spirits to help with the ritual.

"The progress of Cultivation Wagon reached a bottleneck. Can we rest?"

Ravus frowned. He had planned to move across the bay and reached the mountain in the distance. They were not lacking in Earth Elementals, but he had a strong feeling that the mountain held something more valuable. For instance, if it was a volcano, they could awaken a Heat Elemental. If there was a cavern system in the mountain, it would make for an excellent nurturing ground for cultivating future Earth Elemental.

Even so, the Cultivation Wagon was also crucial. When they were on the move, the wagons continued to nurture the Spirits.

"Fine," grudgingly, Ravus agreed to the request. "we will rest here for now."

Valerie cooed and giggled as she flew toward the research development team without even greeting Ravus goodbye. Seeing the behaviour of the free-spirited Cold Elemental, Ravus only shook his head in defeat. He returned his eyes toward the mountain.
7 Coin, 12 Population, 4 Tier 1 Troops
1. Continue Nurture of Nature Ritual. 1x Spirit Troop is left here.
2. Add personnels for Nurture of Nature Ritual.
3. Research Cultivation Wagons: Infrastructure used to nurture Spirits and help them comprehend their ways to turn into Elementals.

"Your Majesty! Reports have arrived from Foix. It appears a forest beast of some sort disturbs the new settlement. We do not know what kind of beast it is... some of the people speak that it may be the spirit of the woods that is perturbed by our arrival in the area."

The Attolis replied "Summon the Royal Shaman. Surely he will know some more about the beast, and the best course on how to appease it. After all, we are not wanton destroyers of the lands. What we take, we eventually repay by replanting trees for the future. It is the basics of cordiality and forestry."

---

With the arrival of the hostile beast, the garrison of Foix began to recruit aggressively to protect the fledgling town. The city square was filled with volunteers and concerned citizens, marching around with practice spears under the watch of du Foix. The Attolians were not fond of war, but if they were forced to defend themselves, then they would do so.

In addition, much work was going on to connect the two cities. Attolians would not leave each other in times of trouble. Thus, a road was starting to be built to facilitate movement between the Attolian cities.

Finally, a Forest Shrine was being built in Foix in an attempt to use it as a medium to communicate with the local spirits of the woods and support the shaman's attempt to pacify the large beast.

---

Summary:

Event: The Shaman is summoned and sent to Foix to attempt to communicate and make peace with the great beast and the local spirits of the forest.

Action 1: Train 2 Conscripts in Foix

Action 2: Build a road connecting the two cities to make movement and internal trade easier.

Action 3: Build a Forest Shrine as a medium to communicate with the local spirits of the Forest near Foix.

Lia was sitting on her steps , filled with inner peace as she gazed upon the mighty Harmony tree that glows with the energy of the earth and lighting up the hollow mountain . She watched as most of the citizens rejoice around the tree before they finally calm down and bow before the tree , possibly to pray to the planet. She stood up and went back to her throne room . It seems her tree / palace had also taken to the effects of the tree as well as any other flora in the city , giving their nations flora a more beautiful and healthy look. Her palace gained it's own interior glowing light made from special stones that are found in the mountain . She merely guess this was nature's way of thanking them for the gift that was taken away from it . Her soldier brought in an elf that looked tired beyond his ability but he still had the time to warn her about what was going on . Showing the bee workers to take the man home to rest up before touching her head as she spoke to her avatar of war " Send a the scout dragonfly to investigate the green skin creatures , according to the elf they are called orcs , have the scout keep a safe distance from them . They seem to be up to something , they are summoning something from the ocean......as much as i want to fear it , whatever they are trying to summon is long dead , killed by the last world , the Silent Sea and Dead Ocean have their names for a reason , these orcs are holding on to dying traditions " she said as she sat back.

She thought for a moment and what the orcs were doing gave her an idea , it's all fine to stick with what you have but improvements and advancements could mean a huge difference . Touching her head again as she contacted her advisor of construction and relations " Advisor , i want you to draw up and complete the plans for something we have talked about in the past , long before the orcs attacked , i want you to start construction on evolution nest (basically a research center) . If we want to keep our civilization alive , we will have to work with nature , each other and time and for that to happen we must start to advance " she notified her advisor through telepathy before being visited by her advisor of finance and culture "my queen , something has been brought to my attention , as i was discussing with myself . What if other races do come to our island " he asked as he bowed before his queen "honestly , i've been thinking about that myself and honestly .......if we get new races here with their own cultures and beliefs .....we will respect they culture but they'll have to do the same .......but for now my dear friend if you would be so kind , could you go down to the Birthing Pods .......i would like 2 new ant archers to be birthed . The avatar of was is busy at the moment and i don't want to bother him " she asked her advisor who bowed "it will be done my queen and thank you for allowing me to express my concern " he said before leaving

The feasting hall was full of people drinking and eating celebrating the creation of the Hearth. A temple for those who are willing to risk their lives in dedication to the use of The Warmth. Zalia smiled sitting on Illia’s right hand A week ago Zalia, her husband, and son had been living in a small log and wicker hut near the bay of More and now they lived in the great Hall of the Flame Palm himself.
“My people today is a great day. With the construction of our port, I will never hear you whine for salted cod again.” Illia said taking a great swig of mead from a drinking horn.
“You are the only one I ever hear crying for that terrible dish.” Cried out one of the Shamans of The Warmth. The room gave a cheer and Illia smiled. The Chief was an interesting character. In front of the people he was large and jovial who brushed most thoughts aside and would only quiet his voice when God or The Warmth became a topic of conversation.
Though since becoming The Mouth, Zalia saw how he often spent time alone. Looking out over the city or in prayer at the hearth in his home. She saw that the funny powerful warrior was also be a quiet and thoughtful man. Even as he laughed with the village at the party. She knew by the look in his eyes he had a plan and she would inevitably be the one to get it into motion. In that moment Illia looked to her and their eyes locked. Oh yes it was going to be a busy week getting that bit of mischief twinkling in his big grey eyes.

After the fest in the early morning there was a gentle knock on her door. Zalia rose from her husband’s side and lightly kissed his cheek, he groaned and rolled over, she laughed. She opened the oak door to her family’s room and was surprised to see the large frame of the chief himself. “I need you to get word out to the people. We need a ship large enough to carry some of our warriors.”

“Of course, Is there anything else bothering you?” She asked stifling a yawn.

“Im worried about my Nephew. Do you really think he was ready to lead a party of our soldiers? He has always been a bit…” He trailed off

“Headstrong like his favorite uncle?” she answered pushing him out of her doorway and into the main hall. Men and women still slept on benches or on piles. “He will be fine your late sister entrusted you to him and to be frank he was starting to drown in your shadow. Let the youth stretch his legs a bit and lets see if he should stand to inherit your hearth and become chief.” Illia nodded his big horned head for a moment.

“I suppose you're right. Beside we need must focus on the bigger picture. Have you seen the huge seals that live on the island chains to the east? I wonder how they taste.”
---------
When Uncle Illia offered the chance to prove oneself a leader of the people and head one of the Bitki. Of course you accepted, even if it was only a simple scouting mission. Thankfully after an intense week of hiking and careful mapping they had found something that promised adventure. A chance for young Andrik to prove his worth of his uncle’s name Flame palm. Ancient ruins marked with a skull. Selecting two of the older conscripts and of the stronger men. Andrik whispered a prayer letting a heat wave pass from his lips into the cold mountain air. Turned to his men and winked

“Lets hope there is more than just skulls down there, right men?” The youth said hefting his father’s axe in one hand and channeling warmth into the other to light the torch it held. The men with him nodded and adjusted their weapons. Preparing themselves for the worst.

The great hall's doors creaked open as an iron cladded youth made his entry to the supposed center of throne room. For a throne room it truly did lack the extravagance of wealth or power... merely a wooden throne towards the back end and banners of the purple and white that ruled.

"Message from the expeditionary army, his royal highness. Marshal Edmund has finished his preparations and has marched out of the fort on the eastern borders. He sends his good-byes and that he'll come back with more women than ever."

The man sitting in the comfort of the wooden throne maintained his bored expression through out the briefing seemingly to have already expected this message from his brother. Upon finishing his brief the young lad kneeled in silence patiently not daring to raise his head.

"My brother sure is a lustful bastard...", the prince muttered under his breath. If that phrase came out of anyone else's mouth there would be hell to pay. After all it was THE marshal of the Principality and the younger brother of the reigning Prince. "You're dismissed. Klaus call for a council meeting." A frail voice trailed from the shadows of the throne room responding to the order, "It shall be arranged, his royal highness."

Standing from his throne the plainly dressed prince didn't bother with the servant or messenger any longer as he headed out the side door to the council room.

...

Sitting at the head of the table sat in a slumped position the same plainly dressed prince as he gazed around the table of council members. There be a map laid out on the table showing the Serinian territories and its borders. The table sat in eerie silence for many moments before the prince shifted us position upward standing before the council members.

"The expeditionary army has left for the eastern lands." The man spoke with a domineering tone as he stared at the map taking a pause before he continued. "The time has come for our wings to spread and reach beyond our borders and make new land for our people. The early stages of my reign have been all stabilization and rallying those pesky lower nobles to cough up their coin for us." Placing a finger on the edges of the eastern border of which the expeditionary army would be advancing upon he tapped it multiple times as the eyes of the council members stared at the blankly labeled area. "Reconnaissance has reported a lake with good plains for settlement. Once the army clears the surrounding area we shall make our first frontier settlement there."

The council nodded in agreement; clearly they had all come to a mutual agreement on the expansion of the principality and this had taken months of planning.

Within the halls of fort Drakerar a soldier suddenly came in.

"My lord, we have captured one of them!"

"Good bring it here now"

Fifteen soldiers were surrounding a chained green beast. Fifteen soldiers were needed because the beast was two times as big as a normal dwarf.

"So what are you savage beast, do you speak our tongue or do you even have a tongue"

Some soldiers laughed nervously.

"Because you know, you have killed some of ours. And suddenly you all disappeared, no trace of your tribe can be found. So that means that you aren’t inhabitants of this lands are you." Said Thrazir Aerenion.

The only response he got from the beast was a growl.

"If you don’t have a name , I shall call you Orkastar. Now then Guards i don’t think we are going to get information out of him yet. So make sure he gets some food. And then send him to Mirir Barakzad"

(Orkastar means savage in the Dwarven language)

The soldiers walked out of the Hall taking the Ork with them.

The last days were a complete hell. Many soldiers were killed in a kind of Guerilla warfare during the construction of the fort. But the fort was finally done, and it changed many things. Thrazir waited patiently for the reinforcements. When the reinforcements would arrive, he would begin the construction of a huge and long wall.

What Thrazir didn’t know that the nobles back home had another idea of ”reinforcing". Many noble families that fell out of grace the last centuries were waiting for their chance to return. And now was the chance. A example of one of the families is the family of Ragarytion. The head of that family is Durir. Although Durir's family fell out of grace, they still managed to keep some of their wealth. And he now united many criminals and other noble families. He gained their trust by promising them wealth and glory if they only were to follow him. And so they did, he bribed the legion south of the mountain. And became their leader to. He hired mercenary ships and left the continent. And so the story of Durir Ragarytion began!

Two miners are working in a one of the caves they've been excavating their light source being an orb of luminescent light. One of the miners begin to recite a poem out loud and the other joins in with his co-worker.
-----
Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,
I notice the way they think about Yves with a smile,
Curved lips they just can't disguise.
But they think it's faith that makes their life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?
The blessing or...
The gift?
-----
As they sing the poem, they can hear another voice. One that sounds...Different. Deeper more...Disoriented. More hushed than anything. The two stop singing for a moment as they look at the darkest reach of the cave. They stop singing the poem as it could very well have been their own echoes reverberating. They still hear the poem being recited despite the two miners no longer singing. They look to each other before swiftly exiting to get Jelich. Once the two find Jelich, they tell them of this strange phenomenon they've encountered. Jelich himself is perplexed by this and goes to investigate this himself. Once he starts trekking into the cave, he casts a luminescent orb of light above him to light his way as he delves deeper into the cave. He here the voices, still reciting the poem. But more specifically the last two lines of it

The blessing or...
The gift?

Jelich is slightly purturbed by these voices but he continues onward but from the corner of his eyes, Jelich can see red
-----------------

Sheran walks around the new scholarium in all of it enlightening splendor. The many records of their spells and remedies, filled the brim of this amazing building. Good enough to last whole generations. Those years will be spent educating future magelings in Raere's mystic roots to come. And she was chosen to be one of their first pioneers for this future. Never in her life would she feel so honored. It almost made her cry. Almost.

"Taking it all in, Shery?" A masculine voice asks. A voice she's too familiar with. A male adorned in white and gold padded robes with archaic tome writings walks up besides her. This man was Lothrop. Arguably the best mystician in Raere, possibly surpassing

"Yes. Yes I am. This is where my talents will be passed on to the youths of Raere. A shame someone of your skill hasn't been given such an honor" Sheran subtly boasts

"Even I know when to let the chicks spread their wings and soar. Whether they're deserving of it or otherwise." Lothrop states taking out one for the thousands books out from the shelves and begins to reads its contents

"Well I am most deserving of this position of Master." Sheran remarks proudly

"Titles will be titles, Sheran." Lothrop puts the book back in it's place

"Why is it you came to see me anyway, Lothrop? Come to soak in your inner jealousy?" Sheran asks coily

"Now why would I be jealous of a magetress that I could outcast any day of the week if I so forth wanted to? You should be most grateful that I'm not Mast myself as any mageling under my tutelage would be leauges above you in a mere day." Lothrop states casually, his voice laced in a playful undertone

"I know you're good, but you're not that good." Sheran says, trying to convince herself of the same thing

"You can keep deluding yourself over that fact, but I came to share a drink with my favorite rival before I depart for the mountains today." Lothrop takes out one of the books latched to his side. He flips to the end of the book where there's an engraved bottle

Sheran examines the engraved bottle for a second before looking to Lothrop "Firewater? Is this a challenge? And aren't I your only rival?" A confident smirk forms on her face

"You know there's Blytrieux but she doesn't like to play games. Unlock you and I. But it's time to see if you can hold your liquor. Last time, you couldn't handle a simple drop. All you need to take is one swig. And no, this won't impair your 'wisdom'." Lothrop chuckles

"Challenge accepted then." Sheran uncaps the bottles and takes a swig from it. The slick texture of the drink slides down her throat faster than she thought. The burning after-state burning her thoat and the haziness begins to kick in, her body feeling like mush. She unconsciously takes a step forward but catches herself by putting a foot foreward. She wipes her mouth and hiccups. "Eat...hiccup...Your heart out...Llllllothrop..." She slurs victoriously as she hands the engraved bottle back to him

Lothrop smiles and shakes his head as he takes the bottle back and takes a swig of the drink himself before placing it back in his book. "Excellent job, Master Sheran. With that, I will no longer keep you from your new position. I pray you do well."

"Oh please, We know you don't hiccup pray fr' anyone...." Sheran states

"Maybe you don't, but I certainly do. Especially for those I have high respect for. So long, Sheran." Lothrop turns and leaves

"So hiccup long..." Sheran turns to walk away herself but her steps are a little uneven "Showed him...hehehiccup"

----------
Lothrop walks amongst the divine architecture of his fair nation of Raere, that he was soon going to be departing from westward. He goes towards the edge of the nation itself where several horse-drawn caravans await. There sitting on the back of the wagons was a woman wearing all black. This was Blytrieux, the Blaque Mystic. She's deep within the the words in her book, but is aware enough to notice Lothrop's arriving prescence. "We should've been gone several minutes ago, Lothrop. What kept you?"

"Had to say good-bye to friend." Lothrop responds

Blytrieux rolls her eyes "If you can call her that..We're ready to head off!" She announces.

Lothrop takes a seat next to her as the caravan begins to move westard. "So. You freshening up on your spells or your poems?" He gests

"I have no time for words of inner desires and worldly beauties. We're going to be masters in Master Jelich's scholarium. We're expanding, Lothrop. After all these years, no longer will we be confined to the woods.It'll be nice to get a clear view of all the land for a change."

"Surely." Lothrop agrees before taking out his engraved bottle again and gives it to Blytrieux. "A drink to good fortune. The Empyre smiles on us this day."

Blytrieux eyes the bottle for a moment before taking bottle and drinking out of it. She licks her lips and gives the bottle back to Lothrop.

Lothrop takes tries taking another drink from it before realizing it's empty. Blytriuex downed every last drop in mere seconds. He shakes his head with a smile as he puts the bottles away

Turn 4, Month 2, Week 1, Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

The air is beginning to turn into a cool crisp wind that blows around with a whistle, swaying the treelines and moving the waves gently back and forth. Soon enough, the winters will begin, but for now, the transitionary months are calm and beautiful with there still being light in the sky as it gets later. The jungles are getting ready for the wet season which will drench anything and everything within them, aiding in new life and rejuvenation.

As the races look up, a new star appears in the sky. Is this star a symbol of good luck, or an evil omen of bad fortune? Each country might view it differently. Inziim knows the answer of the star in the sky, but he eagerly waits to see how the others react to this visual.

12 Coin, 16 Population, 6 Iron Guards

The settlement of Overlook is built on top of the mighty hills, overlooking the vast plains that exist in all directions, but most importantly, it has a incredible view of the large ancient tower that exists to it's south.

The tower at its base looks even taller as it reaches towards the heavens. It seems to be made out of thick stone, but even with some holes within it's walls, seems incredibility sturdy and in tact. The door at first glance and try seems locked, but shortly thereafter, a click could be heard as it seemingly unlocks itself and the door swings lightly open. The room at the base of the inside of the tower is lit with candles and the smell of a meat cooking is wafting through the air.

---------------------------

8 coin, 42 Population,
⦿ x2 Kobold Skirmishers
⦿ x1 Salamander Handlers
⦿ x1 Chameleonic Kobold

Much time had passed as The Kroakun tried using his magical might in order to bring about change in the boat and the crystals. First, he managed to re energize the crystals, of which some shattered from the large influx of magical power, having been dormant and mostly empty for so long. The ones that were left did not manage to hold a charge for long as if something was working on draining their magical energies.

It had better luck in repairing the structure itself as it was clearly some sort of air port, where people came and went to get elsewhere in the world, when it was Old and not new. The structure being in tact, the thing that might help the ship was repairing the golem workers. As soon as they were magically pieced back together, they went about their daily routines as though nothing had changed from the world that they were apart of. One of them broke off and began to make repairs on the ship, but it seemed as though it would take some time, with lack of resources.

The two new cities were built without any trouble, though with their construction, the island was beginning to get more and more crowded as their nation grew.

The martial training school was a success and would allow for a greater number of troops trained at once. (Allows conscripts to be trained at 4/turn costing 2 coin)

----------------------------------------------

6 Coin, 12 Population, 6 Tier 1 Troops

1 Troop travels to the far western end of the island and a handful of smaller islands could be seen off in the distance as well as the distant shore of a much larger land mass. What sort of mysterious lay in that direction?

2 More troops have been trained and are ready for exploration or war.

As the lottery is being developed, it has already been heralded as fair and just for the people.

---------------------------------

8 Coin, 12 Population, 4 Tier 1 Troops

The forest continues to grow by the spirits light. (7 more turns til completion)

The cultivation wagons are completed and will allow greater understanding of elementals. (+2 Population every turn)

The ground begins to rumble and shake. There is something disturbing the nearby ground.

---------------------------------------------

The Kingdom of Attolia
3 Coin, 20 Population, 4 Light Infantry, 1 Light Cavalry, 1 Engineer, 1 Wolf Unit

The connecting road was a massive undertaking, costing much coin. But in the end it was worth it. There was a smooth connecting section of land connecting the settlement of Foix with the Capital lending quickened movement between the two. ( movement between the two settlements using the road counts as 2 spaces/turn)

The creature was causing havok at the settlement, even as the new troops were being trained in preparation for the worst. However, the construction of the forest shrine(+1 Faith) and the arrival of the shaman from the city on the newly built road, caused the creature to at least stop its attack and be open to talk. (Diplomacy can be attempted)

From the view of the Capital, out to sea to the east, there appeared bright bursts of magic emanating from the opposing shores.

-----------------------------------------

8 Coin, Population 17, 1 Dragonfly Scout, 7 Bee Workers , 2 Ant Archers

The Evolution Nest was constructed and it will now be easier to research era appropriate technology. (Decrease turns for research from 2 turns to 1 turn)

The 2 Ant Archers have emerged from the birthing pods, ready to defend the colony against all intruders.

The Dragonfly scout was stealthy in it's travels outside of the mountain. It followed the orcish tracks from the mountain to the plains where the remains of an encampment once stood. Broken tents, empty fire pits and foul smells linger in that location. It looks like the tracks lead to west towards the beachhead of the island. But even from where it stood, the Dragonfly could see large wooden scaffolding being constructed and the black fumes of smoke lingering.

--------------------------------
Ludia Maroza (The people of Frost)
6 Coin, 14 Population, 4 Tier 1 Troops

New conscripts are being trained and will be completed after another week of training.

From the newly built port, A new ship is being built to travel the open ocean. What sort of majesties will they be able to discover on the open seas?

1 Troop of Conscripts heads south of the capital finding more land and extra access to the Ocean with even more mountains to the west.

The conscripts that have begun to explore the ruins head deeper into the ruins and come to a large stone door with in laid gems. On the door is written "Emergency Escape"

-------------------------------

Principality of Serinia

2 Coin, 12 Population,
⦿ x2 Serinian Levies

⦿ x2 Serinian Foremen

The Expeditionary troops advance on their campaign to conquer the continent and bring it all under the control of the Principality of Serinia. Following in their wake is a crew of Foremen that are beginning construction on a grand road that will make travel far easier at each step of the way. Though expensive, it will only take another week to complete. (1 turn completed for building Road, 1 more turn remaining til completion.)

The new settlement of Red Lake is well under way and construction will also be completed in the following week. It will be a magnificent forward outpost for all the troops that will follow (1 turn completed for building the settlement and 1 more turn for completion.)

To the northeast, the advancing troops notice a series of caves.

---------------------------

13 Coin, 16 Population, 6 Tier 1 Troops, 3 Mercenary Ships

The bribed soldiers boarded the mercenary boats and began to head out into the ocean towards the island with a volcano on it in the distance. It will be a long and hard journey to make to the island, but hopefully this noble and his men would find the endeavor all worth it to seize power for themselves and make a grand new Empire.

7 Coin, 25 Population, 2 Builders, 2 Miners

The Joint settlement has now been completed and will hopefully share the benefits of a long term alliance between these two nations forged in friendship by the mountain that lay next to them.

------------------------

Arrisia
12 Coin, Population 24, 5 Conscripts, 1 Wood Golem

The Port City was completed at the same time that their joint city was also completed with their new friend and ally. This looked like a prosperous time for this great nation.

The troops advance to secure more of the forest and the other side of the lake. This time nothing comes out of the woodwork to bother them during their work.

Heyitsjiwon · Sep 4, 2019

The Shaman approached the Forest Shrine, and focused upon the locus, opening his mind to establish a connection with the nearby spirits and the beast. Once he felt like he had made a connection with something or someone, his inner voice began to speak "Hail being of the Woods, what irks you and why do you find our presence to be hostile when we do not raise our arms against you?"

The creature snarled and beat its large oversized arms across its chest before it spoke in response. " You take the forest for your own use. " It began to pace around angrily. " This is my forest. Not yours!!"

"We were unaware that anyone or anything resided in these woods and apologize for the offense. Yet, to give us no warning or try to discuss with it us before attacking us? Surely, a being such as yourself understands that it is cruel. Even nature itself warns before it acts. Volcanoes smoke before they explode, the earth trembles and murmurs before it breaks, the sky darkens before the storm arrives. Regardless, we Attolians are understanding and willing to forgive for we have both committed offenses. Would you not consider sharing the forest? So that we may both call it home and hopefully be able to call each other friend and protect it together? We would be willing to let you roam in our lands as well to the north and the east! Have you had the opportunity to watch the mighty blue seas? They are a sight to witness! The soft sandy beaches, and our humble city of Attolia."

The creature stopped pacing a looked directly at the shaman. The human was calm in its presence, even though he was angry and giving a display as such. Perhaps these small creatures were stronger and more understanding then he though

"These are strange lands that we are not familiar with. Even at our own home city... there is word that some odd powerful magic is seen in the distance on an island. Without a doubt, it is a dangerous world as we are left puzzled as to what foul magic might be occurring so close to our home. We do not seek to fight, only to protect ourselves, and our friends. Thus, I ask you once more, can we call you friend? Will you allow us to enter your home and find safety there? Is so, we will gladly extend the same to you and the forest and protect both as if it were our own homes and you were our brother. There is a saying among my people 'mi casa es su casa'. My home is your home. Will you accept this invitation?"

The beast sat down at these words. The shaman was making sense to it. These humans only seek friendship. He extended a large furry hand and said "Hrignak"

"Pleasure to meet you, Hrignak. I am called the Shaman, but before I was once called Erik the Red." The shaman said as he extended a hand to the giant beast.

Hrignak shakes the shamans hand. "Protect forest for long time across many ages from dangerous peoples. Is nice to have peace"

---

Back in Attolia, there was a royal summons for any and all magically capable to come and advise the court. There was a clear lack of magical knowledge in the Court so far, which was proving to be stifling for the young Kingdom as many watched across the Attolian Channel with concern.

Consequently, a serious construction project began to build a ship so that the Attolians could cross the Channel to see what was going on in in distance island. So much so that all available resources began to pour to the Attolian port to quickly build this ship as soon as possible. In fact, all the recently acquired wood from Foix practically went to this project.

---

Summary:

Event: A royal summons is called out for all of those who are magically capable to come to the court advise the government on what this strange magic was to the east.

Action 1: Diplomacy with Hrignak

Action 2&3: Train a Naval Ship

"It is time..." Tokotol spoke and TikTaq listened, craning his small head upwards at his leader. "The Old Gods have told me it is time that we make our way North." The small Kobold became confused, the northernmost point of their island now had a city on it, leaving nothing but water north of it.

"Forgive me my lord, but only water awaits us North after the creation of Huaca..." His voice trailed off as the confusion materialised. There was a brief silence before the bass filled voice of the Grand Mage broke it.

"What awaits us...what awaits all of us...is beyond the water." Tokotol waited patiently for a reponse, only receiving a gasp and stuttering for his patience. "It is clear you are shocked and so was I when the Gods spoke of it to me. This is where our people were born and I have always believed that this was to always be our home." Tokotol paused for a moment as he craned his head up towards the darkening sky. "The Gods have given praise to our people for all that we have done in such a short period of time. At first they feared for us and that is why they wanted us to remain here, but they have seen what we are capable of. They want us to grow and to show the world how easy things can be if people simply work together." Tokotol raised his hand and with one of his long, slender fingers pointed towards a bright light in the sky. "That star there, the newest one to fill our night sky was sent by the Gods as a sign...a gift to our people. We must continue on the path they lay before us and because of that, I want you to create boat capable of traversing the ocean. One that will take our people to distant lands so that we can extend our nation and ensure our future."

Tiktaq stood with his mouth wide open, reeling from the shock of what the Kroakun had just said. "I...my Lord...I am lost for words. Rarely does that happen but...it is a surprise to hear you speak of such things." The Kobold looked out over the Nations lands and felt an excitement building. "I will build a ship worthy of the Old Gods themselves. A ship that will last for a thousand years and take our people to all corners of the world." Tokotol smiled at the enthusiasm that his advisor showed. "Please allow me to leave now so I can begin work."

Tokotol kept the smile on his face. "Of course my friend. I look forward to hearing of it's completion."

Meanwhile

The Kroakun watched as the progress of the Golem workers was slow, the clear lack of resources available to them causing an issue. He looked at the ship and tried to decipher what materials were required to get the ship in working order and soon called the Kobold units leader to his side. "It appears as if the Golem workers are struggling to progress with any great efficiency due to a lack of materials. I want you and your unit to go out and gather as many materials as you can. Wood, metals and iluket crystals...as much as you can muster. I suggest you report to the nearest settlement and acquire a bastiodon to assist in the transportation of the materials...understand?" The unit leader didn't respond with anything more than a bow, before gathering his unit and heading off to start their task.

Several Days Later

The Kroakun could hear the heavy feet of the bastiodon outside, soon interrupted by the voice of the Kobold leader. "My lord we have done as requested, the materials are being brought into the complex as we speak."

"Excellent...let us see if this offering of resources will be enough to expedite the process." The Krokun and Kobold stood and watched tentatively, hoping that the provisions would see the Golem progress increase.

---------------------------------------------------TURN 4---------------------------------------------------

The Iron Guard explorers are perplexed by the oddity of the ruins. The tower is absolutely massive, and the design is beautiful. The guards are wary, as they know they will receive no assistance this far from home, and the smell of meat is all too inviting for this strange place to be completely safe. The guards talk among themselves, hoping to decide how to approach. After several minutes of arguing, one woman stands and draws her weapon.

"Hold a minute, damn fools. I'll go." she proclaimed.

"And what if you're killed? What if this is a trap?" said another, worrying about the life of a companion and dear friend.

"Then know my sacrifice was for the better of the Unity. Make me a martyr, and tell my family what became of my bravery." Without another word, she entered the tower, prepared to fight whatever was inside.

"Your bravery will be remembered." echoed the remaining soldiers. It was a show of respect to soldiers they might lose. They waited, unsure of what to expect.

...

Back home, Anon considered what to do next. He had heard of the settlement being built in the hills, and he wanted to make sure whatever resources found there could be transported between the two cities if need be. He gathered together his faint group of engineers and discussed a plan. It was a day before they figured what to do; a path would be constructed. A road would be built between the cities to prepare travel and make sure that resources were easily shared between them. The engineers go to work immediately.

Hanon himself inspected the plans for a strange structure; a longship. He'd seen ships before, but they were often primitive and not well maintained. This piece of work was gigantic! And yet, the strange beast Vindicar promised that it could float. He would see to it himself. Thus, he gathered what materials he could and began construction on the strange ship.

During construction, he stopped to consider something; imminent danger. The beast had approached the city, people approach the city, anyone can approach the city. He realized, in a moment of clarity, that any nation could approach the city, even when the Iron Guard lay unprepared. He had created a nation of people who could be slaughtered. He halted his construction long enough to gather the remaining Iron Guard and give them the news.

"Each of you, go to the people and arm them with small weapons. Tell them to keep the weapons in their homes should they find the need to fight. We can't expect military service from everyone, but everyone should have the right to protect themselves if there's an emergency."

And so they did. To each and every citizen they gave the good news; they may carry themselves a weapon for a possible invasion.

-END OF TURN/UPDATE-

Road to Overlook construction began.
-1 turn, -2 coin (connects Capital and Overlook)

Trireme construction began. [Unnamed]
-1 Turn, -2 coin, completion in 1 turn.

New policy: For the kingdom! (Citizens are armed with basic weaponry. They're not trained, only told to fight outsiders if they must.)

Iron Guard separates into Iron Guard and Saphina (IG Unit) for future reference. Saphina enters the Tower. (Continue exploration.)

Ravus Darkfell

Cultivation Wagon
The research into Cultivation Wagons had borne fruits. At least for a while, the Elementals did not have to worry about the decrease in advancement among Spirits due to the frequent movement. Valerie only led the research in-name. Her main job was to pester the other Cold and Earth Elementals to hurry up and reminded them to move when the group did.

Ravus was satisfied with the result. The number of Spirits that gained form increased by a noticeable pace. The Elementals welcomed their new members with glee. He took the chance to train a few talented Elementals in the art of war. While the Cultivation Wagons could be moved, Ravus intended to wait for the forest to first finish its growth before crossing the lake to reach the mountain. It might be nothing, but the tremor unnerved Ravus. Something might be coming.

Illia sat alone at the great hearth in the recently dedicated temple to Tiyolnai. The high vaulted wood arched ceiling was carved and wood burned with pictures of different animals Vik and Mal all walking near the base of the posts. Their heat trails leading up from their bodies into the ceiling. The energy of all that lived mixing with one another connecting them. Burning wood popped and snapped in the large hearth in the center of the long temple with its tall roof. The chimney reached up and out of its spire. The depictions of The Warmth of all that Live met at this central smokestack and rose together up and out of the building.

Illia took the metal poker at the side of the hearth and prodded the coals throwing up sparks. No one else was in the hall with the Vik. Just himself and his God. Slowly he removed his fur skin coat and pulled his cloth tunic over his head and off his body. Slowly knelt before the heat and began to pray.

“ Let my hearts beat and bring the blood that was cooled in my limbs to my core, where the Warmth that you have given us will breath power and fire into it as it circles through me once more.” he paused the front of his scarred body sweating and his back goose bumping as a cold breeze blew through the hall. The breeze was a herald that someone had entered the temple.

“I suppose I will continue this later, Sorry Father.” he whispered. Gentle footsteps approached behind him and a familiar voice broke the silence.

“Chief, I have news from the party in the mountains. They found something.” Zalia said her voice held a hint of apprehension.

“What did they find?” he asked replacing his coat but not bothering to pull his tunic back on.

“Ruins, marked with skulls.” She took a deep breath “Andrik went in with four others and they haven't returned for a day now.”

Illia’s heart slammed into his throat. He ground his teeth and growled to clear his throat. My sisters only son! Missing for a week and yet he knew he couldn’t go not when the ship was almost complete and the new Pohen shamans were in the last steps of taking their talents to a place it could be used in combat. Zalia looked at him worriedly, her brown eyes glinting in the firelight.

“You told me last week, I should give the boy some time to grow. Let us wait till our projects here are completed here.” He sighed “Then I will rush to him like I wish I could now.”

Zalia nodded.

“Very well, then our next worry comes from a dispute between Caribou herders.”

“Wonderful, It looks like I'm going to have to lock horns with someone who refuses to be reasonable.” he said slapping his village chief smile onto his face.

-------
Andrik looked at the odd writing.

“Who would want to emergency an escape?” he asked and then paused “Actually that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. How do we bring it with us?” The group of explorers looked between one another.

“I bet it has something to do with one of those jems.” Said a short old Mal man who’s name Andrik couldn’t quite remember.

“Of course, of course. Why didn't I think of that.” Andrik said bobbing his head the shaggy blonde hair bouncing along. There was another long pause as all group stared at their leader.

“Well are you going to touch them.” Asked the old Mal finally breaking the silence. Andrik jolted looked to the group and sheepishly pressed the jewels.

Avalynne stood, watching the sea as she was debating on what to do. She had received a letter from the ship that they had found some smaller islands off of the west coast. They had also reported evidence of a larger land mass beyond them - now the question remains of, should she write back telling her troops to try to set up an establishment on the smaller islands or press on, to attempt to go inland on the larger land mass? Without much thought - or guidance from Dhovan - Avalynne began writing her own response. Create a small settlement on the island, see what resources it has. If Nye'ite allows it, and it proves to be prosperous, we will proceed with making it a permanent settlement. I would advise to continue living on the ships, however, so that you won't waste resources or energy. The thought of not having it as a residency settlement, but rather a working one, made Avalynne wonder if there would be more civilians that would want passage to it so that they could bring in their own money.

"What are you doing?" Dhovan asked. Avalynne turned, as she faced her Hand. "Did you here from the troops of the west?" Dhovan asked.

"Yes, they've found two islands. I told them to try to take both of them if they could - search for resources, and if we find them we will push to make it a settlement." Dhovan noded at this, he seemed pleased with her decision for the most part. "I heard that we have some new troops, would it be wise to train more?" Dhovan seemed to have a thoughtful look on his face, and Avalynne knew that it would probably be wise to wait. "The lottery seems to be well received as well, any rumors about the civil war?" She asked.

"They seem to be content, no rumors have surfaced in a while." Dhovan paused. "Their attention seems to be elsewhere as the cooler months roll in, my lady. There is a new star that seems to have appeared - everyone is wondering what it means." Avalynne looked out the window, the light sky turning purple as he said this.

"It could bring good tidings..." Avalynne began. "Or it could be an omen." Dhovan went rigid at this, something had changed within Avalynne ever since she had heard about the possibility of the civil war. She was more careful now, and treated everything with caution. Normally she would have welcomed this - hoping that it would be a good sign. "I want to start patrols, perhaps it is time we start building some more structures? We should develop a church, that way people will be able to have a safe place to gather, pray, and socialize overall." Dhovan nodded, wondering what else she was planning on. "For now, I suppose we should also do well to train more ships - the more we become aware of those around us, they do as well."

1.) Build a Church, -2 coin
2.) Train a Naval ship, -2 coin

Received a raven and sent a raven to the troops that have found the island, and will begin searching for resources as soon as they can.

SilverSentinal · Sep 6, 2019

Hearing that the Evolution Nest was complete she immediately searched through the many brain waves of her subjects to find one most connected to nature but also of high intelligence. She has appointed a new member to her council , another humansect who will know be the Advisor of Evolution . All the rights were performed under the Harmony tree . The new council member was , just like the others , baptized as a council member. By drinking a cup of Ruu's Oil (will explain below) to prove unwavering loyalty , gratitude and respect to nature and the Insecmorph race and having a drop of royalty blood drip one his back, symbolizing that he would never turn his back on the ruler and will do what ever is necessary to protect the queen and better the kingdom. With that done a prayer was said in their elusive and hard to learn language before everything proceeded as normal again

"Advisor , on behalf of the queen and council i would like to welcome you to the council " the advisor of Finance and Culture stated before Lia entered the throne room with the Avatar of war "he would be correct in saying that advisor , we welcome you to the council " the avatar of war said as Lia took her seat "Yes , it is truely a pleasure and an honor my queen " he said as he bowed . She bowed back before showing him to step forward. "I have a special mission for you , it may take time but i wish for you to find away for us to evolve our city , i want you to look for a way to build this city up , once you have found a way i would like you to work hand in hand with the advisor of construction and relation . He will tell you the possibilities , responsibilities and liabilities that could be caused by you research , but if it works out he will confirm it and i would expect you in my throne room with a full report " she said with a smile as she dismissed him and the other advisor

"My queen , what about the orcs , what are we going to do about them" the avatar of war asked . The information passed on by our scout is troubling but i know what you want but it seems to risky " she said as she sat back in her throne and thought on the matter " These creatures won't give up my queen , we need to weaken them " he said as she sighed and looked at him "no....recall the scout , i will need to think on this , mean while have the Birthing pods birth 2 more ant archers , after that i will consult with you again " she said as she watched him "As you wish my queen , but the answer will have to be final then , it can't be extended again " she said as nodded and the avatar and advisor left

*speaks/prays Sectoid*

Dear Earth Mother , Herald of Nature , please forgive me for whatever choice i make in the next encounter with my avatar of war , may the sun light my path at it's darkest , my the moon guide me to safety at night and my your ever free will forgive my past , watch my present and protect my future

She sat back and looked at the new glowing stones that litter her throne room.
==========================================================
Insecmorph Dictionary
==========================================================
Ruu's Oil = An mixture of water , fruit drops ,tree sap (not the harmony tree) and ground down mint leaves , blessed by a harmony sage. This is their most sacred drink

Sectoid = Is the Insecmorph Language , hard to learn , harder to write and very hard to speak

Turn 5, Month 2, Week 2, Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

The Star in the sky grows larger than it was before, beginning to become larger than some of the bigger stars in the sky. Is this a sign of ill fortune? Or is it nothing to worry about. Only time will tell. Inziim knows what is going on, but wishes still to observe how the nations will react now that the star has grown in size.

The Kingdom of Attolia
5 Coin, 24 Population, 4 Light Infantry, 1 Light Cavalry, 1 Engineer, 1 Wolf Unit, 1 Light Boat, 1 Hrignak(Elite Unit)

Diplomacy ended favorable between the shaman and Hrignak leading Hrignak to join faction as an Elite unit. Hrignak is a Dire Ape with two large horns and two large tusks. Due to size and power, Hrignak moves at 1 space/2 turn due to slow speed. When moving on a road, Hrignak moves at 1 space/turn.

A Light ship has been built at the port in the capital and is ready to be shipped out as needed for whatever purpose the country requires of it.

In response to the royal summons, three people with magical talent have stepped forward. An elderly man in thick robes with a long white beard known as Veritas claims to have knowledge of the arcane and the mystical. A younger gentleman in nice clothes claims to be a noble from a far off land wielding the might of the sorcerer with inherit knowledge through the blood that wishes to respond to the call known as Panem Argus. Lastly a young woman wearing holy vestments wielding the holy powers of a goddess through prayer known as Sister Griselda.

Veritas stated that the strange magic was some sort of ancient summoning magic and the very fact that it could be seen from this distance meant that it was for something very large and very ancient. Most likely something that had previously been deceased.

Panem Argus stated that the magic was some sort of attack on the kingdom. That they were powering up a large magical attack on the kingdom directly in an effort to wipe them out before they could get any more powerful.

Sister Griselda stated that the magic was an unholy abomination summoned by demon worshippers and needed to be destroyed.

The Nation crafted a Light Boat at their port city where the new troops were being trained so that they could all go together and move on to exploring the lands beyond their own homeland. It would be a glorious trip for sure and they were all prepared for the riggers that awaited them.

With the reapir of the ship, the worker golems go back to their daily routines around the air port. (-10 gold, +1 Airship). Now the Nation had the means to travel both on land and in the sky.

Saphina enters the tower by herself and the smell of the food is continuing to waft through the air as it gets more and more delicious. A voice from up the spiral staircase calls out in a pleasant but light, male voice. Would ya like to join me for a meal? I heard ya'll outside and thought I'd cook ya'll up something real nice." The voice waited a second before continuing, "I don't think that your friends are gunna come in, but you are still more 'in welcome to." The voice seemed to grunt. "You can come up when you're ready. I'm just taking this food out of the oven."

Meanwhile in the mountains Andrick pushes all the buttons to see what shall happen. Flashes of red light began to appear above the door and with a hiss of steam and stale air, the door opens. Beyond the door, a vast ancient underground ruin lay a perfectly preserved city of sorts. Skeletons lay littered about, so it looks as though the people there did not survive.

--------------------------

Jelich was writing fervently in his journal as he looks back to the red, glowing runes on the side of the dark cave. This is no doubt a language of some sort. One that speaks on its own as it whispers to him. These whispers he doesn't understand yet calls to his inner curiosity to delve deeper into this mystery. It's like they're telling him secrets. So many at one time. Is this why they move about? Constantly changing? That is until a bird comes flying through the cave and drops Jelich a message that reads "We're heeeere." - Lothrop. Jelich chuckles as he takes one look of the short-line of runes before closing up his journal and exiting the cave and into the brightness of day. His eyes adjust to the light having been in the cave for...Stars know how long. Out in plain view was the arriving carvan coming to the base of the mountains. Jelich quickly makes his way down to greet his two pupils. Lothropand Blyrieux look at a rising kingdom that that their master has managed to erect within mere months with only a handful at his disposal. "My oh my, Master surely has been progressive this time around."

"I still wonder what it is that keeps him coming back to the Aralakh Mountains anyway. Why not Master Streinuard for a change?" Blytrieux wonders aloud "We both know Master Streinuard wouldn't dare try coming too close to foreigners. Man or beast-kin alike. Strange that, archmystician." Lothrop states. The two see Jelich arriving towards the caravan. "And there goes our esteemed master now." Jelich instructs the caravan to take everything they've brought over to the next chain of mountains. Lothrop and Blytrieux approach their master. "Master, we have arrived as you've asked." The two say in-tandem as they bow to him. Jelich simply smiles before embracing his two students like they were his children that he hadn't seen in forever. Lothrop responds patting his mast on the back. Blytrieux responds with an expression of shock. "My pupils! I am relieved you both made it safely." Jelich releases them from his embrace. "Anything who'd think about impeding our travels would've been met with swift defeat if otherwise." Lothrop chuckles "What is it you've requested our presence for, Master?" Blytrieux asks though she has a slight idea on why "Well, as you two can see we've ben expanding on territory for Raere." Jelich turns and walks, his two students following "The forest is rather specious but there will be a time if we continue to hold ourselves up amongst the trees, we will one day have to utilize all the resources the Blessed Woods give us. This is a cautionary measure for all of Raere to fall back on in the eventuality that outcome comes to pass. You two are here to be Masters in our new scholarium here on the mountains. These miners and builders can't be so forever" Jelich points to the scholaruim that has been constructed "Yes master. You honor us with this position." Blytrieux remarks. "You both are skilled enough to teach all of what you know as I have done the same with you many moons ago. Go on and get yourselves settled in. The living quarters are on the east side of the mountain. Tomorrow, you'll be acquainted with your new positions as masters!" Yes, Master Jelich. Thank you." The two say in-tandem as they bow to him in reverence.

Ravus Darkfell

Darkness Spirits Troop [Tigris]
The opening of crack once again derailed whatever plan Ravus had. The uncertainty of exploring the ruin was too huge. He hadn't been able to train any of the new Spirits to Elemental either. Even so...

"I still want to get in!"

He didn't know it was possible before, but he now knew how a headache felt like. Valerie had been bothering him with this matter again and again. No matter what he said, her reason would turn to 'wanting to get in'. Ravus turned to the other Primordial Elemental, Ragna of Earth Elemental. He only shook his head.

"There is a possibility the ruins housed another Primordial Elemental," he answered with a creaked voice. Valerie flapped her wings and blew wind to Ravus' head.

"See! Only more reason to get in! I want to get in there!"

Ravus was speechless. He never thought Ragna wouldn't side with him over this matter. The Primordial Water Elemental wasn't there. He rarely left the water and didn't care much of Aloiss' business. With that, Ravus gave up on the face of Valerie's eagerness. To prevent Valerie from coming, he commanded the Cold Elemental to send more Spirits to speed up the Nurture of Nature Ritual. He was also persuaded by one point Ragna raised later: perhaps they could find another Darkness Elemental in the depth of the ruin.

Ravus lead two Spirits Troop down into the ruins with him in the lead. The Nature Spirits had taken the form of huge feline beasts for this exploration. The fierceness of the tigers, when combined with their speed made them suitable as an early force for investigation.

They started the exploration.

Event: Ruin Exploration

Heyitsjiwon · Sep 6, 2019

At the shores of Attolia, King Wolff mounted his horse in front of a warband of horsemen. He began to speak:

"Kinsmen! Today, we face a foreign enemy who seek to harm us from afar like cowards. Though this is not like any normal enemy we know. They seek to harness dark and unholy powers to bring death and ruin to our people. Thus, we will ride to meet them face to face. You have been given the duty and honor to be the first to face these craven cowards. Your job is to be swift and harass the enemy to purchase us more time to send more countrymen to join you. You are not to engage fully until reinforcements have arrived. The engineers will join you to man any naval weapons and provide naval fire support, but once again it is up to you to engage in hit and run tactics to disrupt their dark ritual and their plans. May the forefathers watch over you. God speed."

The City of Attolia was up at arms as a recruitment campaign began to bring more men to fight the dark, foreign foe that sought to harm the Attolians.

Particularly, the port was extremely busy as further additions were being made to the structure.

---

Back at the Royal Court, the Attolis was meeting with the three mages who answered the call and addressed them. "My deepest thanks for your wisdom and guidance in these trying and dark times. The Kingdom is young, yet we seeking to prosper and protect our own. It is for that reason that I ask and offer to the three of you. Will you join the Kingdom as Court Mages and Advisers to the Kingdom and help us fight against the dark magic and those who seek to harm the peaceful? What I offer is not just a title and a reward; it is a responsibility as well. Yet, I do not believe that you would not have come to this court if you did not seek to help the people. As we speak, I send men to fight the unknown enemy, but I would be a heartless ruler to send them on a suicide mission. Thus, I ask you three to help not just me, but them. Those men who ride for their family and friends."

---

Summary:

Action 1: 1 Unit of Light Infantry and 1 Unit of Engineers are to take the Light Ship to the east and conduct hit and run tactics to disrupt the enemy and their spell.

Action 2: Recruit 1 Light Infantry and 1 Light Cavalry in Attolia

Action 3: A shipwrightry is being built to make the process of building ships more efficient and faster. (Industrious Infrastructure)

Event: The 3 Mages are asked to help and join the Kingdom and form the foundation for the Court of Mages and continue to help the Kingdom fight against dark and hostile magic.
