Bestiary has been updated!

You order some units to be released from Army and made into road patrols.


The Advisor brings in the yearly report aka Scrolls of Kingdom Status:

Happiness: 5
Population: 5
Economy: 3
Army: 2(+1)

The Advisor sighs.

"I have received reports that soldiers drafted into emergency are openly grumbling by now; we should release them back home even if our numbers are still small. Also, the profits from gold mines alone couldn't outweigh our expenses this year. Shall we raise the taxes for a year, my liege?" You decide to...

A) Declare emergency over and raise the taxes.
B) Declare emergency over, but don't raise the taxes.
C) Continue the emergency and raise the taxes.
D) Continue the emergency, but don't raise the taxes.

You instruct the Spymaster to get more info on the Agaresian court and to get Ulan some good words from you.

"Now onto my uncles."

"We have gathered naught of importance, unfortunately. Your uncles, Ceodwell III the Eldest, Ceodwell IV the Lame, and Ceodwell IV the Younger are in power in Kingdom of Ceodwell despite the fact that they all 'resigned' their powers into hands of your third-cousin, Ceodwell VI. They're old, but extremely stubborn and hold iron grip on the courtiers, the Army officers and liaisons to Kashite and Gubta, with whom they maintain close relationships. Ceodwell VI has naught real power but the support of Singularist cults, his Kashite wife and some dwarven merchants of Zasitost."

A) "Well that's boring. Have a nice day."
B) "Dig deeper, then! Surely there's some wealth of blackmail to be found."
C) "Hmm... go forth and make up some dirt so the old fat uncles of mine won't spend their final years in total prosperity."

You decide to lay low and by lay low you send spies into Ceodwell.


The Spymaster appears at your side after you finish a meal.

"Do you have anything on my uncles?"

"That, and something else."

"Oh?" The Spymaster pauses dramatically.

"One of my agents that went east have returned after half a year journey. He has spoken with Ulan and I have his report."

A) "THEN SAY IT."
B) "About my uncles first."

Reynauld chipped off a rib.

You decide not to force your people to stay in your Duchy, but you send an angry letter - one of the n-th by now - asking they don't sow discontent in your lands.

5to6

Some few thousand people do leave your lands, and no riots occur. Your noblemen do bemoan and grumble at the loss of so many taxpayers and workforce.


Your wife gives birth to a boy! She names him 'Wynn', after a great conqueror of old.

Few days later you receive a reply from your uncles; their response is basically telling you to be more open-minded about people's spiritual needs, lest you suffer another religious war.

Also that they will proclaim whatever edicts they feel like.

Your noblemen are rustled with discontent.

"Your uncles from Ceodwell are making you a laughing stock, sire! It is time to act! We should show them the might of our forces!"

"Nay, our Army is weak and people angry after previous war. Let us ask our senior to rattle his saber, as Ceodwells seemingly are forgetting whom we serve!"

"Oafs! All this will bring us into further conflict with the easterners. We should instead wait few more years, so our people rest and our forces recuperate their losses!" Ultimately, the decision is up to you.

A) It is time for WAR!
B) Let's ask King Eón to diplomacize on our behalf.
C) For now, we shall do nothing rash.
D) Maybe send some spies to get dirt on Ceodwells?
