Question: I assume the plague suspended delivery of Eldrican silver? Can I get a count on that, pretty please?

What delivery? They brought you just 1 more of the unpaid payments. I think someone here was keeping a tally.

You agree to spend some more money on parties to celebrate the passing of plague.

Silver and glassware, due to plague losses, failed to arrive. Gemstones however got through and has been sent north.

There's also a small crisis in the army. Apparently, the traveling tax, coupled with recent plague, has turned mercenaries and adventurers away from the Army recruiters. Few recruits are being acquired this way, and some officers are talking about doom and gloom already.

You decide to...

A) Do nothing, the Army can suffer.
B) Repeal the Passage Tax to keep people flowing through Methiant steadily.
C) Repeal the Recruitment Offices, we don't need those anyways.
D) Promise extra money this year for those who join the Army.

You decide to wait.

Reports come from Methiant that the plague has finally and unquestionably relented; there are only rumors of cases in the Methiantese countryside, amongst some villages located in far west of Felonsein or deep south of Ceodwell.

Preparations are being made to move back to the Empire, although nobody is really hasty about it; general consensus is to wait.

You however, do not feel well personally. Weak and tired in past few days, you've become bedridden with an exhausting fever gripping on your body. Healers working on your ailment are however positive that this is not the plague.

Some courtiers believe that the move back to Methiant should be delayed till you get back to good health, others want to take you back home at this very moment and treat you there.

A) I'm fine, we can make the move back to Methiant. The people need their Emperor!
B) I will stay here and recuperate first. Rushing while sick might only worsen the illness.

You decide to flee to Cydwyl.

You hear that back in Methiant, peoples are understanding of your relocation and your officials who stayed behind are keeping malcontents in check. The plague has not yet reached the capital's walls.

King Erik does accomodate you most graciously; you, your family and your servants are given entire left side of the Cydwyllian castle for yourselves; apparently, the bedroom where Eivan and his wife are now staying was Queen Dogethe's once. Most exciting!


The Advisor shrugs when you find him with reports but without updated Scrolls of Kingdom Status.

"I haven't the clue, my liege, but we can assume that the Empire is doing great."

"Relatively speaking?"

"Relatively speaking is our best bet today..."

Reports from Methiant bring the worst news; the capital has been hit by the plague! Thousands are suffering and hundreds are perishing from the dreaded sickness every day.

The plague continues its spread; it has moved to the borders of Felonsein province.

Now that the plague reached the rich lands of Felonsein, more and more villages begun to succumb to its macabre dance.

Meanwhile, in Donuth, some peasants have decided that if they gonna die of plague, they might as well try bandit life, stealing from poor and assaulting the rich! The governors are unable to deal with the problem by themselves.

You decide to...

A) Ask King Erik to send some soldiers to clear up the bandit menace.
B) Hire some lvl20 adventurers to go on a bandit killing quest.
C) Order the governors to man up and do their work properly.
D) Request the Methiantese Army to resolve the bandit problem in Donuth.

Could we possibly get the chance to rebuild the House of Lech? Who was your favorite King/Emperor of the SPAMKINGDOM games Haspen? If we passed the edicts House of Learning and Patronage of the Arts and kept them going over a long time frame could we possibly start to see some major cultural development since they seem like Edicts that could have that kind of impact?

Maybe? Houlandin III of course. Sure I guess.

What is the prevalance of clay-made bricks in our society? How exactly do they lay bricks to make castles in SPAMKINGDOM? Is Masonry more prevalent then the use of fired bricks? If Masonry is more common, what is the process by which it is used?

What is the average size of a masonry/fired brick, and is it often used by the peasants as a makeshift weapon to collapse eachothers skulls?

Clay and pottery isn't very well established in Luathbas because the region is very muchly rock-prevalent. Shaped rocks and rock blocks are used for construction, clay is mostly used for pots and other water-holding vessels. Eldricans have much more clay, and so do Helliste. Parsia and Gubta use mudbricks, rock and sandstone.

No idea for both v;

So where dat lance at, or is it simply a plot coupon 'v.

"Alright... then. It's time to go?"

"Uhh, maybe? I don't know, I'm not the army statistician!"
