You decline to host any sort of festival to preserve the Treasury.


A report comes from the Duaz mines. The gold boosted the economy overall but the deposits are already running low, so the overseer will be closing the mining operations in few weeks.


Guess who drops by your chambers with certain scrolls in his hands?

Kingdom of Lametania invades from the south! Their king provides a claim for the southern forests and surrounding villages because it was once part of Lametania

The Army is currently making sure that the Lametanians do not get past the claimed lands, while the advisor and councilmembers convene with you. After a while, it is agreed that we should:

A) Send a letter to King of Lametania and propose to solve this via negotiations.
B) Order the army to move in and take back the Luathbas' southern territories by force.
C) Bribe Lametanian generals and nobles involved in the campaign so they turn against their King's orders.
D) Send a letter to King of Lametania demanding detailed legal proof for his nation's claims.

You offer to mediate the issue.

After the foreign noble arrives, you mediate the dispute between the two. The audience takes quite long and extends into late evening before both sides leave, somewhat satisfied with the consensus that you managed to produce.

The miners sent to Duaz hills come back bringing gold! The amount is only meager, though, and can possibly provide some revenue for a year or two tops. A small mining operation is therefore started in the hills.


The advisor arrives on schedule, bringing his venerable scrolls with him:

After the harvest, this extremely uneventful year is drawing to a close. The crops provided much sustenance, and the population will surely increase next year.

Some city mayors believe that it would be a good thing to thank the gods of harvest for this boon with a grandiose Festival, although the trade advisor believes that our economy isn't in good enough shape to host such lavish things.

A) Party time!
B) No money, no festivals.

//EDIT: added a missing quote, stupid select all.

Yes :v

You won't have any healers tho v:

Or mages :v

Either A or B, pls v;

You offer to hear his case to establish if he has actual legal grounds for it.

7!*

He therefore boldly lists his descendants, and the circumstances behind his conception, and the noble lineage of Royal Concubine of the previous King, and then he cites the numerous hereditary laws from Year 786.

Unfortunately (for him, that's it), your scholarly knowledge allows you to blast his 'legal basis' thanks to the fact that the laws were updated in 789 by Caucach himself to exclude certain 'undesirables', and you even recite them from memory to prove your point, which is: the boy has in fact no claims to your throne at all.

The youth breaks down crying while the royal guard finally does its job and hauls him to the dungeon. The advisor sheds a tear of pride while the military officials applaud your wisdom.

It is this day that you gain the nickname "Lawsmaster".


Your son Romuald catches a nasty swamp fever that kills 8 children out of 10 and often leaves the 9th severely crippled and weak.

Truly he must've been blessed by the Gods as it turns out he was that 10th out of 10.

He gets better after three days.


Foreign dignitaries from a land in the west come bearing lavish gifts of money and valuables, followed by an offer to join their military alliance against the oppressive Kingdom of Kiwi, located also in the west

You decide to:

A) Accept the offer and commence with the military campaign at once
B) Decline, but offer to send a troop or two as 'mercenary aid'
C) Refuse to get involved in foreign wars

You lead the troops personally! FOR GLORY!!

Even with your clumsy leadership, the army manages to properly meet with a singular attempt by the bandits to form something of a coherent unit; your two thousand able-bodied men have no problems crushing a group of four hundred savages.

Any future raiders from the north will think twice before they dare to raid Lauthbas again!


The advisor brings you the enigmatic and laconic Scrolls of Kingdom Status:

No changes there it seems.


Your wife gives birth to your son and heir! She names him Romuald; if you die, he will henceforth become Houlandin II, unless he decides to start a new naming trend of his own.


The advisor believes that it would be a good idea to host a tournmanent or a contest or some such, as it has been a while since such an entertaining venue was held by the Crown.

A) Splendid! Let's host a knightly tournament!
B) Splendid! Let's host a song contest!
C) That will cost lotsa money, right? I ain't spending my money!

You therefore inquire, via letter of course, if maybe he would be willing to send one of his other daughters as your new wife.

2

In his reply he expresses his outrage at the rude writing of your letter, and your proposal in general. At the end of the letter he writes that if you're not interested in his daughter than you aren't worthy of being part of his family in the first place.

You are so heartbroken that you decide to marry your distant cousin. At least she is quite pretty.


The winter is unusually harsh and cold this year! It even forces the mountain bandits from the north to come harass some important (especially in such harsh weather) settlements for food (and, of course, fancy loot).

Shall you:

A) Do nothing about it, even bandits have to eat after all
B) Send in your mighty army to deal with the brigands
C) Quietly send a tribute to the brigands so they stop with the raids
