Pls boyos, I was born salty.

And I'm only gonna be more salty cuz lack of moves in the IC thread V:<

You are Daren, the chief of the city of Alb, choosen by this position in the late Spring.

For generations, the village of Alb was sailing across the waters and harassing neighbours living down and up the coast. But recently, the harsher winters and splendor of Alb peoples have warranted an influx of newcomers, from formerly bullied tribes to reclusive loners living in the mountains to the south.

And now, by the fifth generation since the time is kept on the Great Knotted Net, the village of Alb became a city, a hub of living and craftmanship; bone and shell jewellery adorning the necks of the Alb women, the spears and round shields adorning the arms of Alb men. Mighty wooden longhouses and tusk-huts dot the insides of the city, its bounds demarcated with a long wall of limestone boulders stretching from the coast to the forest in the west.

The council of elders has always chosen the best, strongest and wisest men to lead the Alb, yet its first time for a son to succeed his father. Mayhaps it is time of change, or mayhaps an anomaly...


There is a family feud endangering the peace in the town!

The family of Ogla the Clothmistress had killed the son and heir of Kolaf the Bonecarver during a slightly too excessive drunken brawl. Ogla wished to apologize and even brought expensive antler crafts to Kolaf, but Kolaf refused and just this morning has cracked open the skull of Ogla's youngest son with an axe.

Ogla is in rage, swearing that all six of Kolaf's remaining sons shall not survive the winter, while Kolaf says that he only made it even between both families.

The elders thus trusted the mediation or judgement of this issue upon you. You decide to...

A) Tell Ogla that it is indeed even - one son each died on both sides, and there shall be no further bloodshed stemming from it.
B) Tell Kolaf that he has to repay Ogla lest he will be punished for murder.
C) Tell Kolaf that he must leave the village with his family, because a drunken accident does not equal a planned murder he just commited.
D) Tell Ogla that she must leave the village with her family, because their drunken excesses are the root of the whole problem.
E) Tell both to leave the village's bounds and settle the matter via combat between them.

You let the dwarves take the money.


Gemstones and the various minerals arrive from your mines at your palace.


An envoy of King Salus of Lametania has arrived at your palace and has requested to talk with you about urgent matter:

The Pillar of Quiet Disturbance, an earthly giant, has appeared in Lametania! It's has chubby legs and thin arms, and it's tall body is comprised of highly viscous black mud. Its two beady eyes are set on its head almost sixty feet above ground. It doesn't have any other facial features. It intones the names of those it has slain and disturbs the dreams of sleeping folk with incessant whispers. Beware its necrotic aura!

King Salus of Lametania is already looking for a wizard while his troops are preparing to battle the monstrosity, which already laid waste to more than ten settlements, but he also sent to you to see if you can help him in any way with such a monstrosity. You decide to...

A) Send some troops to help bring down the terror.
B) Send some money so that Lametanias will it easier to deal with the aftermath.
C) Search for a Wizard on behalf of King Salus.
D) Apologize as you don't see any way in which you could help.

A single point of Economy, really.

Depends on whether dwarves will be in good mood I guess? v;

No immediate ones, but friends of dwarves will ultimately get hands on ultra secret dwarven goodies one day ;v
