Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

F) Let's go everybody, family united in blood and with blood

[VoidSlayer]

C I guess, need to rest up ourselves and wait for the next real battle.

[Weirdsound]

D... As tempting as it would be to try to earn our son the title of Connan the Barbarian Slayer, lets send the older one first.

[Haspen]

You decide to allow both of them to go. You're ready to prepare an explanation for Esta for sending away two of your boys to war - and only make yourself sadder.

1135 AD, Late Summer

You receive a report that Connan, Houlandin and your Army joined fresh recruits of Cidric, who himself is fighting on the frontlines. Rumors have it he has already killed five thousand Agaresians while leading his troops.

Few days later the guards come to your throne room.

"Sire, there is a Battlebrother Evyf, hailing from Parsia, asking for an audience, but there's also administrator of the city of Ogwannynd near the northeastern forest, and he wants an audience too."

A) Let's have a chat with the Alldivine traveller.
B) Time to talk stuff with the administrator.

Maybe, just maybe, we'll finally annex that forest between regular Methiant and the province of Tiftit?

And then maybe, just maybe, the Battlebrother will be bringing Alldivine refugees we can settle in it?

You decide to meet with the administrator first.

"Greetings, Emperor! I bring a proposal that I have and colleagues in Tiftif have planned for a while."

He is offering to clear-cut wide swathes of the great Northern Forest. Obviously, many of your courtiers begin voicing their dipleasure with this idea - it is a popular hunting grounds for the nobility, as well as place where many holy sites and shrines of Pantheonist deities have been located for many centuries. Plus one of Pantheonist divine beasts, the White Stag, is rumored to be living there.

Still, the administrator believes that it will only help the Empire in the long run, making place for many new settlements, cutting travel time and boosting travelers' safety, not to mention that who knows what natural riches might be hidden by the thick canopy of the forest trees.

Of course, this is no small task and not a cheap one either; the administrator and his friends calculated that this might take a decade or two (or even more), and obviously the woodcutters, pioneers and other folk will need to be paid on yearly basis.

Ultimately, the decision rests in your hands.

A) About time we make use of the big forest. I shall sponsor the development of new roads and settlements!
B) Both deities and ancestors would be greatly offended if we damage the sacred forest. I cannot possibly support such an enterprise!

[Maximum Spin]

B no, you will not disrespect the Birb after all this.

I feel like there should be some middle-ground here, though, like "you can coppice some sections of it" or something.

[Haspen]

There are already roads through it with occassional roadside inn, but that's it. They're proposing to enlarge that road network plus make place for new villages v;

[Harry Baldman]

B, I kinda like having mystical woods about, plus they're culturally significant!

[Kashyyk]

B - Just stick some signs up around it declaring it as part of the Methiant Empire and call it a day.

[Arlos]

B leave that place alone, too much mystical BS going on here to touch it.
