Glory to you,
Lycwl of Kastoria!
The vile Arrat, tyrant ruling the Kingdom for the last twenty years, have been slain by you and your companions, who rebelled against his oppression. You're a
charismatic man, and your co-conspirators have chosen you to lead the Kingdom into new era!
Kastoria is the land of rolling hills, fertile fields, gentle bays and prosperous peoples. One good thing that can be said about Arrat's taxes is that the Treasury is quite filled at the moment.
But the populace, the noblemen and the clergy of Ane and Eder, The Mother and the Father, are all content with removal of Arrat. They hope you will turn out to be different after all.
The Advisor, one of the few honorable and trusted men previously in Arrat's employ, brings you the Scrolls of Kingdom Status.
Happiness: 4
Population: 4
Economy: 6
Army: 4
*Navy: 1
The Scrolls are dotted with some strange numbers and the Advisor speaks about them in some poetic nonsense. Oh well, time to start working!
400 AEC, Spring
The Orcs have arrived!!
A delegation of High Orcish diplomats has entered the capital city, and made their way to your stony keep. The bald, scaled, rough&tough envoys are clad in the usual attire of High Orc nobility - black fabrics adorned with bone, horn and pearl. High Orcs, compared to the Low Orks, are noble and civilized disciples of Dogu, but at the core they're still fearsome warriors who do not shy away from fighting.
"Greetings, new hooman King of Kastoria. I am Zork. We here on behalf of Great Lord Żrt, who wishes to make a trade." The Advisor leans to you and reminds you what the High Orcs deal in: foot soldiers, and bodyguards.
Foot soldiers are often poorer High Orcs, or those of Low Orks that were civilized enough to reason and seek mercenary work rather than simple rape, pillage and destruction. These footsoldiers were oft employed by human nobility, although the recent trend sees Humans use human armies instead.
Bodyguards are sons and grandsons of important High Orcish nobility and government officials. These young, but strong and fierce warriors require yearly compensation, but many a King have been saved from assassination or won against the enemy with just handful of High Orcs at his side. And for these High Orcish sons and youths, there's no better return to the homeland than with reputation as an acknowledged and successful warrior.
"Great Lord Żrt knows that you are of the new blood, and that you might make a good partner of business. So what it will be, hooman King. Do you wish for soldiers or guards?"
A) "I will gladly strengthen my army with orcish blood!"
B) "How about we trade some money for resources and goods instead?"
C) "I need no services of no Orc, so please leave."
D) "I will gladly employ some fierce orcish warriors for protection!"
E) "Why not both? I have plenty of money to spend!"
