You send new recruits to help break off the Luthian assault.

They deal a thorough defeat to the attacking Allied soldiers and only few escape to tell the tale of the defeat at the mines. Maybe it will serve as a painful reminder that you're not to be trifled with!


More news come from Dahnia; another hundred of Trolls has been culled, but many more remain. It seems that for now King Tinwulf II is doing fine in his anti-troll crusade.

Meanwhile, you receive a letter from the governors in the east concerning Eist refugees. While the Eist can keeping to their side of treaty and do not attack the refugees, the number of those fleeing Eist zealotry has quadrupled or more, the letter says. The governors' abilities are at the limit and they ask for guidance, support - or both. You decide to...

A) Send them money so they can provide for the refugees during the winter.
B) Tell the governors to simply ignore the refugees.
C) Begin a long-term plan of building new settlements to house the refugees and give them a fair chance at life amongst your subjects.
D) Order the governors to kick out a part of the refugee horde.
E) Send a letter to the King of Eist demanding he provides for his exiled subjects, considering it's his politics that begun all this.

It's a random username which I first used on few old Polish online games. Then it carried over to here, and then elsewhere, even if the original places I used it on no longer exist ;v

You gladly provide both troops and supplies against the invasion of the beasts.

Meanwhile, the battle for the Duaz mines goes over span of few days, as the report puts it, but your garrison, even with heavy losses, destroys the attacking troops and sends the remainder fleeing towards their host cities!

The mines remain in your grip for now.

6_{what's with all those 6, honestly!?}

Once again, the deal with Calvendocians proves to be most profitable; your people prosper and enjoy higher standards of living as your Treasury reaps piles of coin from taxes and such!


Freshly stamped bars and minted coins arrive from Duaz hills! The gold is stored in the Treasury, much to the joy of the Treasurer himself.


The Advisor appears at your bedroom for obvious purpose.

Happiness: 4
Population: 5
Economy: 4
Army: 4

And the numbers remain quite good!


You receive a letter from King Tinwulf II; he praises your loyalty and thanks for brave men and war supplies that you've sent, as they're already proving useful in the Dahnian war against the trollish menace.

Few days later you receive a delegation of priests from the Houlandine Temple Of Rainbowscale Peak.

"O, great Duke." The bald head-priest bows slowly. "Our old temple has fallen in disrepair and is a truly sore sight to all those pilgrims that visit the site for prayer or to read the ancient Luathbasian books and Houlandine scriptures. We therefore come to seek monetary aid from you so that we can restore our temple to former glory and beauty." You decide to...

A) Donate money to the temple.
B) Do not give to the poor monks.

You let the messenger from Duaz mines first.

"My liege! I bring you the urgent report of Luathian army moving onto Duaz hills!"

"Have the civil war ended and we haven't heard of that for some reason?" The Advisor asks the troubling question but the messenger shakes his head.

"Nay, at least not completely. Banners of only three cities were spotted, and our garrison commander believes that nearest cities have decided to put aside their quarreling to recover their source of money. The commander asks for more soldiers!"

A) "And he shall get them! Peasant fodder will be sent to Duaz at once!"
B) "Alas, we can't spare a single man! Give my blessings to the commander instead."
C) "We will help the commander by invading Luthian alliance and removing the very source of the problem from existence!"

You decide to host some parties.

The parties were meh. The peasants were of course grateful for the festivals, but mayhaps the influx of pretty things from Calvendocia got them used to prosperity and wealth.


On the morning of the first day of snow, you have two peoples wanting to see you; there's a messenger from the Duaz garrison, saying its urgent, and also an envoy of King Tinwulf II of Dahnia, who says that your senior needs your forces against a beastly threat from the east.

A) Personal envoys first! Let's hear what troubles the soldiers of Duaz mines!
B) Our benevolent senior is more important, so his envoy will get an audience first.

You decide to lead your armies on this incursion.

3*

The attack is swift and also swiftly falls into disarray; the element of surprise is lost by an accident and your scouts failed to notice the actual numbers of the garrison at the mines!

6*

But that does not matter! You quickly regroup and strike into the enemy lines, leading your men to glorious victory against imperfect odds. The mines are yours, but quite a handful of Luthian soldiers escape.

Soon you will learn of consequences of your actions.

Maybe?

You post a large garrison at the mines, which are also fortified a bit. The new overseer of the mines says they should be able to fill the year's quota thanks to how short the fighting was and how early into the year it happened.


Your youngest son, Feodh, catches the deadly swamp fever, which kills 90% of the toddlers that contract it!

6_{ffffffffffffffuuu}

Alas, the disease was overcome by Feodh. Truly a demigod, the little one is.


You receive a letter from Queen of Lametania; she got into a bit of trouble with the Damdamians and while she managed to pacify their wrath, they require a monetary compensation. Unfortunately the Lametanian treasury has been drained severely in recent years after their once profitable mining venues in Ironside mountains failed completely.

A) Of course we will send them some money at once!
B) Tis a bad luck and we ain't gonna do anything about it.
C) How about we send soldiers to protect Lametanian borders instead?

Luathbas owned a good chunk of the Kiwis, half of Lametania, All of Ceodwell, then Zasitost and a chunk of the Gubtas...

Kiwis only expanded into Luathbas after its fall plus they were their own peoples long before Houlandines came to power in Luathbas ;v

Lametania never was Luathbasian v;

Ceodwell is descendants of Luathbas (and Eist came from that one tiny settlement created by Feodh(?)) so they could recreate Luathbas if they wanted ;v

Zasitost is dorfs who bought the parcel from Ceodwells v;

And Gubtas, if I recall correctly, bought Khosra Province from Luathbas way back in previous century ;v

Y'all got no real claims on any of these lands V;
