You decide to leave Thann alone for time being.

The furs brought less profits than last year.

A medium-sized contingent of Parsian horsemen, both lightly and heavily armored, dove suicidally against your Army just a day away from Karasau. THe feverish and careless assault they've made against your forces did cause almost two thousand of Methiantese casualties, but some attribute it to current switch in battlefield tactics.

Still, the battle ended in victory for your Army anyways. The surviving Parsians fled, but many were subsequently chased down by your own cavalry.

Your Army has begun the siege of Karasau few days after this battle.


The siege of Parsian capital continues; all attempts to negotiate have been rejected by the Parsians.


Karasau siege continues, while smaller contingents are looting and besieging smaller cities and keeps of importance in the north, south and west of Parsia.

You receive news that administrators of the southern Khosra province, the part with gold mines that was sold to Shapur, has willingly welcomed the governance of your military officers. The latter's report claims that these men, Ceodwellians by either name or blood, have always been a bit uneasy feeling as Parsian subjects, and are ready to abandon their lawful employer and flock under your banner. Apparently, many of people living there currently are expressing similar sentiment.

A) That land is useless to us.
B) We welcome them with open arms!

Was there any nations with religious tolerance laws before us?

Has any other nation besides us set up a House of Learning or something like it?

Is the 'Purer' version of Pantheonism that just appeared more mystical/magical because it only worships the oldest Pantheon gods?

The region in general was quite tolerant, because it lies in nature of Pantheonism to be tolerant ("hey, nice god. Did you know we have 50 plus of them? Ain't that rad!"), then Singularism and Damed showed up, and recently Alldivinism, and people began to play favorites, till Cyl happened.

No, Methiant the only one with university in this region.

It sheds away lots of gods made from people aka 'this guy did this and killed this beast and then won seven battles in a row, truly he must've been god in disguise'. Thann's purist version crops the list back to first half of first millenium AD.

You decide to renovate the mansions and keeps taken from Alldivines as well as reform the military to more modern tactics. The officers believe it will take several months for the Army to adopt new tactics, hopefully this will go smoothly even on the front in Parsia.


Siegeing of Parsia continues.


And continues.

Meanwhile, your agents report that there's some Pantheonist heresy going on in the north. Apparently a priest called Thann is preaching about returning to roots and orthodoxy of Pantheonism, revoking the new, 'petty' gods as he describes them, and wants to reduce the numbers of gods to the base thirty five, calling them 'the true Pantheon'.

His fiery preaching also condemns the decadence of peoples, noblemen and kings alike, who give in to pleasures of life, and put themselves above the servants of the gods, as if they were more powerful.

A) I like that kinda talk. We should invite him to the capital and hear what he has to say.
B) And what of him? Under our tolerant society, he can preach what he wants.
C) Is that some thin-veiled insult to my authority? It seems he needs to be removed, one way or another.

5 for calendar, 5 for infantry tactics

Weeh ;v

You order an emergency mobilization of peasants to replenish the dented forces in Parsia.


Forces in central and northern Parsia are slowly conquering their way to the capital.

Parsian opposition seems to have mostly vanished; some speculate that Manipur has little or no soldiers and supplies left to wage war.


Gemstones are sent north, silver and gold are sent to your Treasury.

Glassware earns you moderate profits.

Sieges in Parsia continue; meanwhile in the north, soldiers of King Estjald have captured Lynwynd Keep, a strategically important castle located few days of marching away from the wealthy Helliste ports and the capital city of Hel. This prompted Estjald to try and renew negotiations with Hellistes.

The Parsians are truly at their worst now; they attempted to strike your Army in the rear, but scouts provided sufficient forewarning and your Army crushed Parsian forces in truly wondrous pincer-attack maneuver. They've eliminated lots of Cataphracts and, according to spies, killing many Parsian noblemen who were donning the prestigious armors. Few dozen of Parsians escaped with their lives, while the commanders report mentions only about three hundred Methiantese soldiers dead.

Amongst casualties is one man called 'Lord Anif'; your agents have successfully identified him as your nephew, Anwyn, son of Leath and Abis. From interrogation of few important captives, it seems that living in Parsia ultimately led Abis' children to shed away any pretense of being Methiantese and instead, they've embraced Parsia as their homeland, ready to die in its defense.


Your Army continues to besiege and conquer walled cities of central and northern Parsia. Some outposts near Gubtan border were also captured already.

Speaking of the Army; the commanders and tactians have came up with two distinct ideologies how to make best use of Deathreeds, which are loud, powerful, but slow to reload and inaccurate. They're finishing up written proposals, and you can except that soon you will receive Edict papers for your perusal and approval.


While the north and the east are engulfed in flames of war, here at Methe, live is peaceful and quiet, and delicate snowfall adorns the rooftops and towers with thin layer of whiteness.

The wooden logs in the fireplace crack and sizzle, the kids busy with their tutors and your wife safely snuggled against your side, you two in bed. You two are disrobed and Bjeda caresses your manly chest, easily exciting you.

Obviously, this is a perfect romantic moment for the Advisor to knock on the door and enter, with Scrolls of Kingdom Status in his hand. You can't do naught but take them; they're too important to be put off for later.

Siiiigh.

Complete a sheet and that's when you get a spot.

Atian's added, Ardent's will be when he finished the clan sheet.

But Fireblood also requires Alchemy. It's not viable for an Extra v:
