You agree to the proposal.

The diplomat leaves with haste to inform his mistress.


You receive a letter from the genius gold manager from Rodigo province.

In the letter, he mentions that his miners have struck deposits so large that they barely have enough manpower and tools to exploit just part of them, while the other simply lays there, ore glistening in untouched walls and boulders.

The manager believes that if he was to get money to hire more workers and procure more supplies, he could excavate the gold ore at as much as twice the current rate, bringing more profits to the Treasury.

A) It's fine as it is. After all, the ore isn't going anywhere.
B) A little investment in return for untold riches? Take my money!

You decide to follow the common sense in dealing with the spirits.

The surplus food and the coin that could be added to the Treasury are sacrificed on the great altars of the cities within the Kingdom.


Brash and rough, King Woren is man of his word. Border outposts and travelers report that the attacks and raids by Glamoorians, once occuring almost every day, have almost ceased by now.

Hopefully it will stay this way for a long time.

From more local news, it seems that people are very content with your pious rule! Not only they continue to give thanks to you for restoring the Temples, but your recent following of the traditional festive sacrifices despite the Kingdom's monetary trouble have earned the people's admiration for your modesty and humbleness.

Well, you might not have coins - but you have people's loyalty.


The squealing of the little newborn fills the chambers of the palace. You sit by your wife, who's craddling the child - your child - in her arms.

Its a girl, the heiress to the throne of Remoria! Your wife, owing to the ancient laws, names her 'Lenora'. Unless you and your wife produce a son in the future, she will become Queen Lenora I when its time for her to inherit.


Pacing around the bedchamber, you dread the moment in which the Advisor comes in with Scrolls of Kingdom Status - mostly because you know the numbers won't be pretty.

Well, here he is.

And here are the Scrolls:

Happiness: 5
Population: 4
Economy: 1
Army: 3

"My Liege, your subjects are very happy with your rule and the Treasurer is very unhappy with the state of our Economy. I think it would be quite prudent to ask the masses for some extra coin, yes?"

A) "Nah."
B) "Indeed! Raise the taxes in the coming year!"

You excuse yourself for a moment.

"Ah, no problem, I can wait."

"A few."

"I see." He looks around. "Cozy."


Adam is clearly not a man of many words. He sets down the empty tank and hums.

"This was tasty, but do you have something fruity? I've heard that this drink, what's its name, Serpentis something, is quite fruity and sweet. Can I have one?"

But then your sensor console pings.

A) Excuse yourself to check the sensors. Drinks can wait!
B) Search the database for 'Serpentis' drink, whatever it might be. Sensors can wait!

"I wish for military alliance between our kingdoms."

"Ha! And what would we receive from such an alliance?" Asks King Glamoor. "Your domain is small, your soldiers weak, your horsemen few and you have not shown any prowess with a bow and arrow. All this shows me that you have nothing to offer to us in an alliance. We can fend for ourselves."

A) "Well if not by the bonds of war, how about bonds of marriage?"
B) "Want a trade agreement instead?"
C) "Then keep your men away from my villages. That is all I ask of you."
