Hills were a mistaaaaaakeeeeee.

I guarantee you Haspen would have made the flood plain at least as difficult :v

Duh.

Flying enemies a lot to circle and flank you while you muck 2 tiles per turn thru swamps :3

"Shut up, greenhead! We on da mission, and we gunna complete it!"

You really like my stuff dont you?
Well if I ever do something, I think I'll aim for weird fiction actually.

Yeeeeeeeeeessss. It just has this pleasing aesthetic and is my second fave artstyle right after Stand Still Stay Silent's

You declare that the Crown shall procure foodstuffs for the peoples again, while a search for a Wizard shall begin.

Once again, there was trouble to feed everyone. Some might suffer from the thinner rations, but the impact of the famine will be minimal - but people will grumble, you can bet on it.

2

No Wizard was found this time.

One of royal couriers have met, by chance, a Wizard in one of the inns in Augas province. Upon query the Wizard in question agreed to pay a visit to your palace.

Meanwhile, the western patriarchs of the Pantheon have been spouting bad rhetorics about you - according to them, the "King of Luathbas consorts with elves, wizards and things of foreign and wicked magickery, and what heed he pays to the ancient and traditional Gods and Goddesses of the Pantheon? Almost none! Instead of sacrificing to appease the God of Rain, he calls for a traveling stranger of unknown reputation! Is that the King we want?"

Unfortunately for you, the religion holds tight on the hearts of the peasants who often turn to the priests and religion for help, advice and comfort in their everyday struggles...

A) Threaten the clergy with harsh consequences if they will continue to undermine your rule with their almost rebellious speeches!
B) Sponsor the construction of a new and splendorous Grand Temple that will replace the old one currently standing in the capital city.
C) Do nothing, as you're not going to meddle with religion again.
D) Sacrifice lavishly upon altars of all of the Gods to calm them down for now.

You're welcome v;

You arrange a small guard to sneak out and ride with Queen Aolineniya to Luathbas' southeastern borders.

They return after ten days, and say they saw Queen Aolineniya leave the Kingdom on foot after parting with them.


After another round of baby-making, you fall asleep besides your dearest wife. But in the middle of the night, you feel a cold breeze, so you turn toward the window... just in time to see someone move toward the bed!

6

Springing from dreamland instantly by rush of blood, you grab a nearby sword and toss the bedsheet at the attacker, surprising him! He drops his blade and fumbles backwards as you leap from the bed.

2

Unfortunately, he manages to pull the bedsheet and see you charging. With speed and agility beyond any man you have seen, he reaches the window and as he jumps out, you briefly see his blond hair and... pointed ears!?


"Like you requested, sire, we've been looking into the assassination attempt." The advisor begins the summary of the investigation.

"The weapon, does not match any shape nor style of our past or current enemies, so we believe that it is elven in origin. The Army agreed to help patrol the forest paths and less populated areas in search for any strange travelers that might be trying to come. They're concentrating their efforts on the northwest, from whence Lady Aolineniya once came from, seeking shelter in Luathbas."

Few days later, you receive a letter from the governor of the city of Einvad in the north. Apparently, his city guard managed to find and capture a gathering of twenty followers of the Sect of One, once delegalized by your father. He tossed them into the dungeon, of course, but felt like you should know.

A) A smart man, that governor. Thank him for his effort and send letters to other northern governors asking them to look out for these heretics.
B) Order him to investigate - and torture, if needed - these followers to see if it's just an isolated incident or maybe there's some underground movement growing in the northern Luathbas.

2a, 2b, 3d, 6e

You decide to spend a part of the riches to entertain the peasants with festivals, bard performances and public feasts.


Your grandmother, Lady Aolineniya, the runaway elven princess, has been freaking out at slightest scares for few days now. After an incident with pot of hot soup and a unfortunate, quietly-walking maid, you decide to candidly speak with her.

"It's that I feel that I have to go, Llewyn."

"What? Why?" Aolineniya, after all, was very comfortable living in the palace for last 40+ years.

"I don't know. I just feel, I have this feeling, dear, that I have to leave. My husband is long gone and you're doing well. You do not need me around, and it will be better that I do not linger."

A) Arrange a small guard detail for her and send her east and south, towards the distant and foreign kingdoms with whome the merchants of Augas deal with every so often.
B) Tell her that it is not possible; her advice has been invaluable and disappearance of 'Grandmother' would upset the populace. You shall strengthen the security in the palace, of course, to calm her down.
C) Decide that, if she feels she has to leave, she is free to do so. Arrange some provisions, plain clothes and gold for her secret departure during a cloudy night.

Event replaced; you may vote on it now.
