ABOLETHS

Fishmen flood into the Ape's sacred valley. Surprisingly the undersea denizens show an alacrity for martial arts that impresses even the Apes. [+9 close combat]

Work on the massive coral sprawls continues. The seas themselves are altered slightly as the coral is grown at an heretofore unseen pace to provide the structural material for their housing. Large calcium and carbonate deposits form in the nooks and crannies of the ocean, and creatures that thrive in these environments multiply. [Mass Housing 10/25]

The mudoil mine's techniques are further perfected. A novel way of trapping the mudoil as it escapes the seabed, preventing aqueous contamination, greatly speeds the process. [Mudoil Mine 7/12]

>>2007774

STANGALLI

Takmek will represent the Stangalli at the tournament. He's frothing at the mouth for a chance to take vengeance for his people on those who trampled on their lands. Stangalli representatives are there to smooth things over. Some of their guardsmen pick up pointers from the Apes. Although they consider themselves a more intellectual race, their dexterity and cleverness gives them a surprising insight into the Apes' methods. [+9 close combat]

Meanwhile, the Stangalli and mages begin a joint project on craft that can sail through the skies: Airships! With Stangalli wind magic and ingenuity, and the mage's arcane might and scientific methods, surely they will create something incredible. [Airships 5/30]

[Note: this project will be updated in your turn, and Mage's turn. Track carefully]

>>2007795

APES

The Apes set up security to safeguard passage into the tournament, and for the duration of the event. Their familiarity with the territory and resonance with its energies makes this a simple task. [Roll an extra die to quell any disturbances at the tournament, if needed. All spirit magic and monkhood bonuses are doubled in the event of a defense.]

Meanwhile, the Apes host a friendly training session for their visitors, which includes a small army of fishmen. They're very difficult to tell apart, for some reason. As other races pour in, the Apes receive them all with dignity and grace. Lessons are given, and lessons are learned. Their spirits hum with the potential all these peoples have brought them, from the scaled Dragonwrought to the dark-aura of the Bacatia, from the noble poise of the Kratiya to the resourcefulness of the Lizardmen. Gnomes and Crabkin, humans and birds, fish and Fauns - truly this world is a wonderous place.

[+10 diplomacy], [+1 organization], [+1 art], [+1 warrior tradition], [+1 herbology], [+1 magic control], [+1 nature magic], [+1 dark magic], [+1 education], [+1 leather working], [+1 traps], [+1 carpentry], [+1 enchanting], [+1 willpower]

H'ar-Ambe answers the call of the Apes. The elders 'pull' a stone of sorts from the spirit world. It already existed in the material plane, but it is as if they were granted the true spirit of the thing. The stone in question, about the size of a head, glows with a soft white light. [The victor of the tournament will receive the White Stone, study of which will grant a bonus in spirit magic], you earn [+4 spirit magic]

>>2007848

LIZARDMEN

White-Tip and Yellowback skirt the edicts of the elders and venture into the unknown world of the flatlands to seek their fortune. They quickly hear rumors of the tournament, and find their way there, where they are stunned by the many gathered peoples of all shapes, sizes, and talents. They are happpy to join in at the Apes' invitation, and exchange combat pointers with their benefactors. [+6 close combat]

A sudden fluctuation in the ley lines sets back the nature of the wilds. It seems that energies in the dark ruins are more chaotic than in other places. The totems are adjusted to account for this, though it does take some time. [Land-Awakening Ritual 22/25]

>>2007869

GNOMES

....journey on MUH WAYWARRRD SON
THERE'LL BE PEACE WHEN YOU ARE DONE

The gnome adventurer finds the tournament, and soon enough, he's practicing his forms alongside the Apes. And as any wandmaster will tell you, practice makes perfect! [+1 close combat]

The gnomes begin construction of a grain farm in the rich riverlands, using their magic as a catalyst for its growth. Their attempts are quite successful! [food: moderate], [+2 agriculture], [+1 magic control]

Unfortunately, while building the fishery, they all got too caught up in the pastime to get much real work done. Perhaps another day. [Fishery 0/5]

Construction begins on the most fundamental of Gnomish economic institutions, a Wandcrafting Shop. [3/10]

>>2007872

MAGES

The grey cloaks keep training... [Grey Cloak Army 23/25]

The worst habits of the mages and the lachstagen combine to form joint work on an unholy new project. [Magic Acid Napalm 4/20]
Note: this project is shared between you and lachstagen, and progress will occur in both your posts. Track carefully!

The Airships will give the Mages control of the sky and the Stangalli control of entire new realms of commerce. [Airships 10/30]

>>2007877

FAUNS

The Fauns finish work on the silver mines. The goods and the knowledge exchanges hands. A job well done! [Silver Mine 5/5], [resource: silver], [+5 construction], [+3 mining], [+5 metalshaping]

A detachment of Fauns meets with the Apes and trains in their ways. They're not half bad at this whole fighting thing! [+5 close combat]

>>2007880

BACATIA

The Bacatia attack the Mages!!

Meanwhile, the Orc Blood Elixir is steadily formed. Their previous experience with the Aratoa has refreshed their memory on the process. [Orc Blood Elixir 2/5]

The Bacatia cast a shadow over their arrival at the tournament grounds. The Apes dutifully and cheerfully receive them; the vampires are almost surprised about how unfazed the Apes are are their presence, and happily exchange combat pointers. They do, however, avoid that strange altar at the heart of the Apes' valley...it makes them downright uncomfortable. [+2 close combat]

>>2007934

ORCS

The Orcs attack the Mages!! Due to coordinating successfully in secret with the Bacatia, they gain a +20 bonus to their combat total.

Orc politics is simple enough that it continues unabated even in the midst of war - or perhaps, it could only be truly forged in war. [Orcish Imperium 9/15]

>>2008157

KRATIYA

The Kratiyan delegation begins work with the Crabkin Minster of Economy to determine the exact nature of the trading agreements. The Empress is pleased that the consulate is enthusiastic about their countries' mutual prosperity. [Crabbykins 5/7]

Very few psychics have the potential for manifesting great energy over distances larger than a few dozen meters. That, perhaps, is a study for another day. Czerkia focus on perfecting the current method of one core psychic fighting alongside the Coterie. Spending time training together seems to enhance the psychic bond and ease the transfer of energies during times of stress, which is vital - things won't quiet and contemplative on a battlefield. [Communion 14/15]

The Kratiyans send artists and a few historians to commit the events to posterity. While they don't actively participate in the combat, most of the civilizations have heard of their great civilization and they find themselves to be fairly popular. Some few civs disdain their 'weak-kneed pacifism'. The goblins try not to let the annoyance show on their faces. [+1 close combat, +1 diplomacy]

>>2008422

BEGRAVEN REUS

*sawing noises*
*jackhammer*
*safety dance*
*truck backing up beeping sound*

[Labyrinthine Design 8/15]

>>2008760

LACHSTAGEN

Work continues on cannons. They managed to blow a hole in the side of a hill...and in one of the poor cannon-testers. [Cannons 17/25]

The Lachstagen send a champion of both combat and explosive devices (non-lethal only, of course) to train with the Apes and compete in the tournament. He is accompanied by a small cultural delegation as well; they can't show up totally uncouth, of course. Soliman picks up a few tips from the Apes during the training session. Being a fine warrior himself, he's a quick study. [+7 close combat]

>>2009697

DWARVES

Weapons are simple to craft for the experienced dwarven smiths. [+5 steel weapons]

No king would be complete without his crown; the process of finding only the finest of diamond begins. [Mountain King 5/15]

Currently, dwarves are suspending themselves from the ceiling hundreds of feet over a lake of lava in order to chip away at the diamond deposits. The soon-to-be-king believes that there must be a more efficient way to do this... [Diamond Extraction 5/10]

>>2009983

KOBOLDS

The Dragonwrought arrive at the tournament to represent the Kobolds. Their gifts make them very popular! Despite not participating in the fighting, the joint training session with the Apes gives them a lot of ideas on how to use their wings in hand-to-hand combat. [+3 close combat]

The gardens are finished! The Kobolds now have a public place of repose to relax and refresh themselves after a day's hard labor. [Marven Gardens 7/7], [stability: Rejoice!], [+3 culture], [+3 logic], [+2 architecture]

>>2010395

RAZGRIZ

Time to mine them thar hills n' such, pardner! [Iron Mine 3/7]

Officers Sydwick and Tyrell lead an expedition alongside the Stangalli merchants to join in the tournament. Their horizons are broadened by the sheer number and composition of the difference races they're sharing this new land with! The Apes offer them a few pointers, and they're happy to exchange knowledge. [+5 close combat]

--------
COMBAT RESOLUTION
--------

The Bacatia strike the southern mage tower in a sudden ambush! Caught off guard, the mages mount a desperate defense. Though the vampires manage to push to the river, they're held off by the mage's newest creation, the Iron Giant. The massive machine sprays their soldiers down with fire and smashes through Aratoa hand-over fist. The battle stalls, until...

...a chanting sounds on the horizon.

magik wehpons
magik wehpons
MAGIK WEHPONS
MAGIK WEHPONS
MAGIK WEHPONS

A horde of orcs pours over the mountains and down into the village, flanking the mages. The Iron Giant is maneuvered to stem the tide, and hundreds of orcs are crushed within a few minutes. However, freed from their defense, the Bacatia are able to mount a concentrated attack on the golem, crippling it and knocking it out of the battle. With their main weapon disabled, the mages unleash the blood wargs, which create enough chaos to afford them a chance to retreat. They hole up in the tower, surrounded on all sides by their foes.

MAGE RESULT

The Iron Giant is severely damaged. It will repair 2 points automatically each turn due to its regenerative properties. You can use actions to speed its repair rate. [Iron Giant Repairs 0/10]

Farms and shelters have been destroyed, along with plenty of research and related facilities. [food: low], [stability: low], [-2 agriculture], [-2 magic control]

TURN 30.5 FLUFF POST

A group of elder Apes walk out to address the crowd before the tournament begins. One of the Elders begins to speak to large crowd who has turned to look at the Apes.

"Welcome all to our Grand Tournament! We are happy to see such a gathering! We've met most of you from training and admire your spirit and courage for coming to fight and prove your strength!" The Ape scratches his head almost like he forgot what he was supposed to say..."Oh yes right anyways on to the rules of the tournament...

1. This tournament is not a fight to the death. We do not like to see death and destruction, though we do understand some of you carry some lethal weapons and other accessories. We ask that you halt your attack if the Ape referee intercedes or the opponent surrenders. Healing will be administered on the sidelines to any who are injured."

2. Fights are one on one, no one else should be getting involved except for the ref. Breaking this rule means disqualification.

3. You are permitted one animal companion in the ring if you have brought any with you.

4. Weapons and magic are all permitted, even though you trained with us earlier, we'd like to see you fight at your best.

Lastly we have the reward for the winner." A younger ape hands the elder ape something covered with a piece of cloth. The elder ape pulls off the cloth revealing a white stone, it gleams in the sunlight as he holds it high in the air. "This is the White Stone, a gift given to us by our God. It is highly treasured and may help guide you and your people into higher places! Ohhhh and don't forget.....food and drinks are brought to us courtesy of our friends the Stangalli!"

With that the Elder Apes walked off to their special seats built high into the air in order to watch the tournament unfold.

The meeting with the Apes was an eye opener for the explorer Gnome. Not only was he the first Gnome to meet another people, indeed, another race but he was the first one to learn from these mighty and honorable beings.

The Apes fought in a way distinctly unique and different from the Gnomes. Where the Gnomes preferred to fight at range, the Apes fought with cool fury and skill at close combat, pummeling their foes with expert hand attacks. They were no mindless brutes either, they were amicable diplomats, warriors, and faithful healers as well.

Hideki Malewand learned much, and would certainly bring these tales with him home. But there was more, much more, to be learned in the Tourney. The Apes were not the only great, nor even the oldest, of the races out there. There were many more people beyond, and he would meet them in noble duel soon. The Apes too, were kind enough to tell them of others who had not come to the tourney.

The Gnomes had five major families, and Hideki was a member of the Malewand family. The Malewands preferred to imbue the power of the elements upon their wands, casting lightning, flame, acid, and ice from their smooth, curved wands, which were always more artistic and finese than those of the other families. In soon proved that lightning element was an exceptional good combination for close combat, as the shock one could deliver with a wand either at range or in close contact had a debilitating effect on muscle and flesh. With old skills known, and new skills learned, Hideki set out for the tourney. A young and new race to the world, in victory or defeat, he would bring home honor at having been the first Gnome to fight on the outside world!

"Don't insult the contestants, dumbass" Aengus shouts at him, outside of the arena.

But strange little fella in front of Gabhar doesn't back down, he is branding his wand with bravery facing the faun in front of him.

"Okay" Gabhar says smilling "I think that I like you. Letvs see what we make out of this" He says charging.

"The best enchantments are those not spoken, the best ingredients are those not needed.

A good wand does not fail for lack of concentration or will, but enhances in sharpness and focuses the will of the caster. Let your spells be simple yet strong, easy yet unstoppable."
-Excerpt from the Book of Gnome

---

1. Construction of the Wandcrafting shop continues, the business which defines the Gnomes!

Seeking to improve their prowess and speed at building structures, the Gnomes practice their art in the construction of the Wandcrafting shop itself. Using heir magical wands, they lift wood and stone into place, twirl them over buckets to mix mortar, and lift and spread cement.

The basic philosophy of Gnomish magic is that simple spells which can be easily repeated are better than complex ones which can be difficult and prone to failure. Better still to combine multiple efforts toward a greater task. Gnomes work in teams to enhance each other as a whole. If a log or a rock was too heavy for one Gnome to lift, three or four of them would aim their wands and lift it together; thus skipping the need for the one Gnome to have to expend a lot of his magical energy alone. By conserving energy efficiently, they made harder tasks easier and faster. Thus amateurs could do the job of experts.

Wandcrafting Shop [3/10]

3. More stone than could be picked up by Gnomes surveying the ground was needed. The Gnomes would seek a way to hew into stone, but lacking metal or a stronger substance, they turned to their wands. They would develop a basic spell allowing them to cast cuts into harder materials like wood and stone, so that trees could be cut faster and chopped into smaller easier to maneuver pieces, and blocks of stone cut out from the mountain side. Cutting spells were being developed for the wands.

TOURNAMENT RESULT

Stangalli - 90
Razgriz - 52

Gnomes - 63
Fauns - 125

Bacatia - 94
Lachstagen - 83

Lizardmen - 196
Illithids - 132

The tournament begins!

ROUND 1

White-tip of the lizardmen faces off against a scriggly and ungainly member of the Illithid group. White-tip dashes in, hoping to quickly close the distance to her opponent. The Illithid unleashes a disabling mind-blast, but white-tip's totem flashes, and its magic deflects the psychic energy. By the time she reaches the Illithid, it has no more time to react before she pummels it straight off the stage.

The Illithids, frustrated by their first-round lost, leave in a huff, though not before shooting glares at the two lizardkin.

Then, a representative of the Bacatia, Occuelum, faces off against the strongest Lachstagen warrior, Soliman. Their battle takes over 15 minutes, with the two evenly matched for skill. Soliman refuses to give ground, using his technique and footwork to hold off the vampire's superior speed and strength. Eventually, Occuelum is forced to bring his magic to bear to push Soliman out of the arena. Soliman refuses to shake hands afterward, spitting on the ground and angrily muttering 'magic tricks'.

Takmek, representing the Stangalli, fights Officer Tyrell of the Razgriz. The birdman's strange fighting style baffles Tyrell, and he's on the defensive throughout the fight. After a few minutes, he takes an ugly gash on his sword arm, and the Ape referee declares this a decisive blow and ends the match so he can receive healing.

The lone Gnome Hideki of the Malewands steps forward to represent his race. Despite being being 'accidentally' mocked by Arawn, the Faun champion, he manages to hold his own for a few minutes, using spells to distract and harry his opponent's mount. After minutes of spellcasting, one of his magics fails to hit the mark, shrugged off the boar's enhanced hide. Arawn is quick to take advantage, and Hideki is shoved out of the arena.

ROUND 2

Occuelum and White-tip fight a battle that will surely be remembered. They both fight with a spear, resulting an a frenzied clash of long-range weapons. The vampire has superior strength, but the Lizardwoman has superior footwork and is quicker with her spear. They both deliver scratches to their opponents' armor but can't land a solid blow.

Eventually, Occuelum leaps back to attack with magic - but White-tip, having noticed the earlier battle, had been baiting him into it all along. Her quietly-planted nature magic activates, rolling the stage under Occuelum's feet as he's preparing his spell and tossing him upward. He unleashes a blast of darkness to try to redirect himself midair, but it isn't quite enough and he lands off-stage. White-tip is declared the victor. Occuelum is frustrated by his defeat, but admits that in the end, he was simply outwitted.

1/2

Takmek and Arawn fight next. Takmek fights on horseback, facing off against Arawn's boar-mount style. The clash is actually brief - the boar bashes the horse with its larger head, nearly knocking Takmek from his seat. Arawn bashes him the rest of the way. Having been so quickly dismounted, Takmek yields the fight out of a sense of honor.

FINAL ROUND

Finally, White-tip faces off against Arawn. Seeing her opponent mounted, White-tip also mounts her poisonspitter, a giant, toxic frog. She proves to be even stronger with her companion. Its large leaps let her dodge the boar's charges with ease, and its acid-spit poison allow her to control the stone battlefield, quickly cutting off the boar's ability to move, while she is still able to jump around and retreat if need be. Exhausted by the combination, the Arawn's boar can't keep up, and eventually White-tip flanks him from behind and knocks him from the mount. Arawn rolls through some of the acid, and the referee calls the match so that he can receive immediate treatment. Luckily, no lasting damage was done. White-tip and Arawn shake hands following his healing.

The crowd cheers for White-tip as she takes the stage once again for the award ceremony. The lizardmen have been quietly keeping to their own for as long as anyone can remember, but today, they certainly made a lasting impression on everyone present.

Over time, they begin to compare notes on their various daily experience, and a kind of understanding of the nature of substance, material, and action develops. The pull of the crude plow through the earth, the roll of a round stone down a slope, the levers and materials in a trap or snare, the work in the quarry with rope and travois - all this builds into an understanding in the minds of the inventive kobolds, and they work out through reasoned argument where it all fits together. Soon, demonstrations are on display before the Elders, facilitated at times by winged Dragonwrought flying objects to the tops of slopes and rolling them down, and at times by trapsmiths or loggers or quarriers demonstrating wedges, wheels and axles, and so on. In time, the Kobold priests at the Shrine of Wonder are inking illuminated manuscripts that feature the Six Simple Machines, thanking the Dragon-god of knowledge for this addition to the Book-Hoard.

Niether a Sore Loser, nor a Joyful one, Hideki bowed and accepted his defeat, and took pride in having lasted that long against such an opponent as the Faun's. He would be sure to visit them over a mug of ale indeed!

The Faun's were evidently neighbors to the far north, it would be good to have a friend in the far reaches as that was where more people could be found.

During the lull between the Tourney Rounds, he takes up on Arawn's offer and goes to the pub.

"That was a good fight, and ye beat me fair and square lad. I'll remember the name Grabhar from now on.

I'm an explorer fer my people, and on a journey to meet and learn new folk that are out there. Can ye tell me a bit about the Fauns?"

> Much time of developing the giant's [Labyrinthine Design Philosophy] is spent in rumination. For sightless beings such as the Begraven Reus comprehension of sight requires a collaboration of many brilliant and vivid imaginations, and revelations regarding how to confound this hypothetical sense requires ever greater feats of creativity. One particularly promising suggestion put forward by the brainstorming giants is the notion of boldly engraving a complected, asymmetrical pattern of lines onto the walls, ceiling, and floor of a room, the idea being that they will confuse and obfuscate the actual dimensions of the room disorientating sighted creatures that attempt to navigate it. Further, by using definite engravings rather than pigments or something similar, the Begraven will be able to keep track of what they have produced. The giants are still unsure whether this technique will effectively confound a determined invader(s), but feel as though they are making progress in refining their misdirection techniques...

> [The Great Dome] project is progressing at a brisk pace. Great, strangely geometric pillars of concrete and massive granite blocks surround the rim of an immense mound of stonework at irregular intervals, many only partially complete and not yet connected. Upon and around the great dome something else is being erected using the dense bulwark of packed rock as a foundation, the beginnings of an imposing stone pyramid. The first of many...

1. Trade Deal with the Crabkin 5/7 +57

Trade negotiations continue with the Crabkin. It is hoped that they will see the Consulate as the best of friends, and even forge an alliance with them if trade goes well.

2. Psychic Communion 14/15 +62

The first Coterie completes its training. The development of the Psychic Communion is in many ways the culmination of the military aspects of the Consulate. The Goblins, with their superior physical capabilities supports and defend their Manifesters. Working in tandem, they are an extraordinarily potent combat unit that is both light-weight and effective.

3. Power: Matter Manipulation +43

The psychics of the Consulate have only a few powers to select from. With greater power pools than before they look into more refined forms of physical manipulation. Preferred for their versatility are heat and sheer kinetic manipulation. Favored for both its destructive capability, kinetic manipulation could be used to forge a solid bubble for protection against physical and magical attacks. While these abilities have some use in the civilian sphere it is undeniable that their primary use is for warfare.

Action 1
After an agreement between the Council of Clans and the Mountain King,we decide to start a new trade route between our people. From now on, fauns and dwarfs will exchange silver for a constant suply of steel weapons (a claymore please) - Trade of resources doesnt need to roll dices right? So the 2 dices above are for action 2 and 3

Action 2
We invited many guests for a celebration after the big tournament on the west. We musthave drinks for such, and so the fauns go back to work on the Blue Sap Distillery by building structures that help us process it more efficiently (+20 Hilland Folk Lore + 5construction)

Action 3
Same as action 2

Also, as another diplomatic action, 2 fauns dont go back home for the celebrations. Instead, hearing rumors of war in the South, they travel across the plains and the rivers, through the mountains and the lands of the Stangali, until the sieged tower of the Mages. We wish to understand better what is happening.

1. The first dwarven merchants set out to a foreign nation. Dwarves everywhere are suspicious of these alien people called the 'fauns', but the brave few see the opportunity to get rich via selling unmatched dwarven steel, folded a million times, to these primitives, in return for the silver they have (although how they mine it with such primitive mining methods is unknown).

2. The concept of a king is a new one and it needs a symbol. A crown of steel studded with diamonds might do the trick. [Mountain King 5/15] (+18 dwarven culture, organisation)

"Its the third Lumina of Novembis, just after 2 weeks of work, the mine's main hallway is carved and ready for expansion, the entrance to the mine is upheld by fine lumber placed in intricate sequences with the ends having some fancy carved flourishes. Rhitkur's warg pelt, which he requested from some poor maimed marine who killed the vicious thing, now hangs as a curtain on the cave entrance. Along with the now cozy entrance, most of the cave flooring is covered with dried hay that the farms donated. some of the boys even fashioned themselves realistic cave counters, chairs, and beds with the lumber, hay, and the freshly cut stone from the quarry. The rusty picks that we salvaged from the ship's wreckage are closing its breaking point but the promise of iron and new metals usually keeps the boy's minds away from the invalidity of their tools. Engineer Mikhail is usually seen with old man Jenkins, acting more like an archaeologist trying his best to decipher Mr Jenkin's ridiculous mumbling, I on the other hand is busy with ensuring steady supply of burnable hay, wood, stone, and food. I also work hand in hand with the boys, they need guidance on how to use their tools effectively and to work cohesively as a unit but these boys are young and they're quick learners.
I gotta admit, from all of the grueling work this job is, Its hard not to smile when I see all of them at rest after a day at work. Each passing night I'm reminded of the duality of these boys, not older than 19 and one of them even as young as 14... they look so innocent and fragile as they sleep but show limitless energy and ingenuity when they spring into consciousness. Their joyous smiles acts as a warm fire and ironically a cold reminder that this isn't what they should be doing. I want nothing me to see this mine done and get these boys a warm meal and a warm bed back in town. Their strength and innocence inspires me to no end, it directs me to work harder for their future....

Dear Katherine, This must be what it feels like to be a dad. It is just like you said, its life changing. My deepest regret is having refused you for so long. If only I can move oceans, I would do so just to see you again my dearest

Your loving husband

--Actions--
The Aratoan armed forces retreat from the mages tower with loot.

1)"Chaos. Blood. Darkness. Chaos. Depth. Blood. BLOOD. BBLOOODD." A pale hand snaps around the Aratoas neck nearby and pulls it into a deep bite. "BBBLLOOODD. BLOOD. Blood. Chaos. Water. Void. Depth. Darkness. Blood." Gagging. "BLOOD. BBLOO" The sound of a vampire puking chaostainted blood is truly singular.
Farhad leaves the trance finding himself on his knees supporting his weight on one arm while pressing the other hand around his neck. Maybe channeling the statues magic into manainfused blood and drinking it was not such a good idea. It did give him a pretty good buzz though and he finally confirmed a suspicion. "The void..." he muttered, sitting down at his desk, deep in his old laboratory in the ruins of Bacatia. As he suspected. "By the divine fucking blood, how did those primitive fishmen get in contact with such sordid powers."
He rubs his temples and glances back at the statue. "Oh well, enough of this shite for now" Farhad grumps out loud, grabbing some parchment off the shelf.
+23; Legacy, Leadership;
2) Farhad details the results of his experiments. It seems the warg blood effects conciousness as well as physical abilities. The subjects that survived the initial batch have shown greatly increased sensory ability, speed and strength and extreme ferociousness, but have become increasingly feral. The mages blood on the other hand greatly increased focus of mind, logical thinking and magical potential.
Also when combined with a little chaos infused blood, worked into a powder and snorted knocked out Farhad for at least 3 hours. "Another plus." He thinks to himself while swirling a flask with dark liquid in his hand. Now its all about working out the ratios and isolating components. The orcs will probably appreaciate a little feralness in their elixir, their magic shouldn't be all too logic based anyway so he will neutralize that component and keep the increased magical potential from the mages blood.
For the Aratoa elixir he will do the exact opposite, balancing the ferociousness of the warg blood against the mages cool focus. Finding the right balance will be tricky, but in the end it will greatly increase the Aratoas effectivness in battle.
+23; Legacy, Leadership;
3) The work on the blood altar continues. With Farhad busy making the elixirs, but his plans still in the hands of the foremen, the altar might be finished soon.

IC TL:DR
Fauns invited everyone to a big party.

Apes now know about the vampires of Bacatia, and are not pleased with what they heard, which made them leave early.

Arawn of the Fauns tries to charm the Lizardmen champion by offering giant boars.

After diplomatic relations with both Fishmen and Lachstagen , the fauns believe that there is something wrong with the contradictory cult of the aboleth that claims to be both peaceful and full of crusades and human sacrifice - further informations of the Bacatians confirm that the aboleth seem to be one of the causes of the civil war among Fishmen and the madness that preceeded it.

Fauns offered to host a meeting between Fishmen and Lachstagen so they can contact the aboleth and discover which path is the true path, but they both refused feeling outraged.

Razgriz got really drunk and had a fight with the Stangali.

The orcs go to the party uninvited and snort cocaine with vampires.

One Stangali and one orc saved the life of an old faun that was having a heart attack, and became national heroes.

KOBOLDS

The Kobold civilization has reached a new threshold. The public works projects have, as a byproduct, brought together thinkers and doers from a variety of fields and with a varying degree of technical expertise. Public interest in the underlying laws of the world spurs a group of natural observers to catalogue and organize their notes on the subject. [Mechanica Koboldica 11/20]

BEGRAVEN REUS

Note: don't forget to list applicable bonuses (and their sum, ideally) to your action rolls

The giants go to great lengths to envision the best ways to fool sighted creatures. Maze designs and testing chambers of small scale are used on captured rabbits and mice to enhance their understanding. [Labyrinthine Design Philosophy 11/15]

The nickname 'Great Dome' has been taken by the people and workers while the Sovereign contemplates the official name of their new home. As the walls, pyramids, and cyclopean-concrete structures rise higher and grow in complexity, the Begraven Reus themselves are amazed by what they're capable of. [Great Dome 15/20]

>>2015630

LIZARDMEN

The ritual is completed.

A massive hum of power resonates under Hill-Home, where a central control mechanism made of rune-etched totems lays beneath the headquarters of the Council of Protectors. The formation of magic is capable of sensing life within the boundaries of the swamp, as well as altering the terrain itself, given enough time. When properly directed, energy from the ley lines can be directly handled by individual shaman, dramatically amplifying their magical power within the swamp.

[Land Awakening Ritual] - When defending, roll an extra die and add its value to your combat total.
[+10 totems, +10 shamanate, +10 magic control]

As the magic of the swamp comes under greater centralized control, so too must the political situation. Messengers are sent to the other nomadic tribes, urging union and safety and expounding the benefits of living in static settlements. [United Swamp of America 4/12]

Craftslizards focus on improving their tools in order to craft new homes and infrastructure for what is predicted to be a large influx of new residents. The enhancements afford greater craftsmanship in other areas. [+2 ironwood tools, +1 ironwood armor]

>>2015846

ABOLETHS

Universal efforts to instill self-defense into the populace are aided by public tournaments and demonstrations. The Aboleths offer blessings as well as minor leadership roles to those who perform well, elevating the deserving as a measure of effort. [Ki-Xa'ki Style 4/12]

Construction continues underwater on a massive scale. [Mass Housing 13/25]

The mudoil mine achieves completion! The new fuel source will provide innumerable benefits to the rapidly developing fishman empire. [Mudoil Mine 15/15], [resource: mudoil], [+5 mining], [+5 construction], [+2 industry]

>>2015854

KRATIYA

Note: you have access to Silver due to the efforts of the Fauns. [+3 diplomacy], [+2 economy], [+1 earth magic]

Trade with the Crabkin is finalized; copper and emeralds are provided in exchange for mana-coral, as well as 400 finished sets of mana-enriched armor. The Empress is pleased with the consulate, and invites the Kratiyan member as a special guest for the signing of trade documents, as well as a pledge of friendship. You learn that the Crabkin have a special method of using metals and gems to store mana for a variety of intricate devices, hence their need for the raw resources. Coral is useful for this purpose, but grows slowly and requires intense cultivation. [+4 diplomacy, +2 economy]

[resource: Mana-Coral]
[resource: Mana-Coral Armor 2/2] - Use in combat to negate 20 points of any foe's magical or psychic combat bonuses.

An intense period of study and training has finally borne fruit with the Coterie, a psychically-charged and fast-moving Kratiyan military unit. [Coterie - In combat, roll an extra die. Add 1/2 the value of this die to your combat total], [+5 psychic power, +5 close combat]

The success of the psychic-warrior project spurs further consulate-funded research into higher realms of psychic manipulation. [Psychokinesis 5/12]

>>2015856

APES

Work on the destructive aura continues. The Apes take what they've learned from observing the battles between the foreigners and incorporate these thoughts into the medications. The reach and surpass the critical threshold, evolving their battle aura into a new form that strikes back against attackers and corrodes weapons that try to pierce through it. They term this elevated defensive shield the Destructive Aura. [+10 martial arts, +5 spirit magic]

Upgrade to [Iron Palm Technique] - [When defending, roll an extra die. Add 2/3 the total of this die to your combat total. Add the full value if defending against the dragon]

The Rockslide Technique is powerful, but ultimately it lacks stopping power. After seeing the might and strength of a multitude of other peoples, the monks envision a way to stop them all in their tracks with a single, all-encompassing method. [Thousand Hands Against the World Technique 4/25]

(your third roll was added to the Destructive Aura)

>>2015871

FAUNS

You trade silver to the dwarves in exchange for steel weapons! [resource: steel claymores], [+3 steel claymores], [+1 economy], [+1 diplomacy]

Long left derelict, the recent cross-civilization activities have spurred the Fauns into restarting work on the distillery. [Blue Sap Distillery 5/12]

(Note: You crush a new dice at the end of your turn for free)

Congratulations, you've crushed your 3rd action die! Subtract the bonuses you have sacrificed from your development panel and add the bonus:
[+20 Hilland Folk Lore] - This bonus cannot be stolen or destroyed.

New Trait: Close to Nature (+2 agriculture, +1 nature magic)

>>2015936

DWARVES

The dwarves successfully trade the fauns glorious dwarven steel, folded over a million times, GO HOME DIRTY GAIJIN, in exchange for sweet shiny silver. [resource: silver], [+4 economy], [+1 diplomacy]

The dwarven chieftain, soon to be crowned, forges it himself in the caverns under Dromadhur, forming it directly around freshly mined diamonds. [Mountain King 7/15]

The dwarves can practically taste their safer and more efficient method of procuring incredibly shiny rocks. [Diamond Extraction 9/10]

ORCS

When very concentrated, it turns out Orcs are very effective. Or maybe it's just the looting. [Elemental Weapons 5/5], [+5 enchantment, +5 magic control]

[Elemental Weapons] - In combat, roll an extra die. Add 1/3 the value of this die to your combat total.

>>2016602

RAZGRIZ

Meanwhile, the Razgriz begin development on a smelter with which to purify and reform their newly accessed mineral resources. [Smelter 3/5]

>>2016792

BACATIA

Having gotten what they came for, the Aratoa forces are directed by the Bacatia to retreat from the tower.

Farhad gets high off a chaos-powered statue, brutally murdering his Aratoan assistant and almost offing himself in the process. Man, that's kinda messed up. [Cursed Statue Reverse Engineering 7/12]

Not one to be deterred by silly things like bad trips (perhaps encouraged by them instead), Farhad continues to experiment on himself and hapless Aratoa. The products of his research should offer some interesting results for both the Orcs and the Aratoa, once he gets that far. [Orc Elixir 5/5], [Resource: Orc Blood Elixir], [+2 dark magic], [+2 enchanting], [+2 magic control]

The Orcs might see interesting effects if you trade it to them...

[Enhanced Blood Elixirs 0/10]

The Blood Altar is finished! There's no construction problem that enough whipping can't solve. The newly christened Blood Altar should enhance ongoing magical research... [Resource: Blood Altar REPLACES Sacrificial Altar], [+5 blood magic], [+5 dark magic], [+2 magic construction]
[Enhanced Blood Elixirs is now 0/5]

>>2023060

LACHSTAGEN

Note: You only need one action to attack. You can also only use one action to attack per turn. I will assume that you wish to work on cannons with your other action.

[Cannons 22/25]

You will need to roll combat dice in a separate post. The action in the post is just a placeholder for attacking. Declare "Lachstagen attacking Orcs". This makes it easy for me to find. Also list out your applicable combat bonuses, and their sum.

Note: Please keep track of this full information in your sheet so I don't have to find it later.

[Ui'Haki-Xa Enchantment] - You may activate the enchantment during combat. You gain a +50 bonus to your combat total. The loser of the battle also loses 2 points of stability. The following turn, you cannot attack, and you receive a -25 penalty to any required defense roll.

STANGALLI

Work continues on the trading posts. [10/20]

Meanwhile, the Stangalli send emissaries to the Birdmen. Informed of the proper diplomatic channels by their allies, they proceed to the neutral territory, where they are fairly welcomed. Takmek represents the nomadic southern tribe that previously fought with the Mages and Apes, making the political situation rather sensitive. The Stangalli tradesmen turn on the charm to smooth things over and flaunt their wares. [Birdmen Hustle 4/10]

WAR RESULT

ORCS

The Orcs manage to hold their own despite the Ui'Haki-Xa Enchantment powering the blood rage of the Lachstagen. Some of their farmlands are burned. A purge of the ranks is forced in order to stem the tide of the enchantment, greatly shaking the orcish order. [-2 agriculture], [stability: low]

LACHSTAGEN

The Lachstagen attack is successful! The victory was a small one, and dependent on the enchantment. Spoils are few, but the damage is done. Lachstagen morale and faith in their gods is increased by the victory. [stablity: low], [+2 agriculture]

1. [Psychokinesis 5/12] +48

Psychokinesis goes further than creating heat, or crushing matter. It can be harnessed with precision, and used to shape objects. Some use this to forge shortlived psionic weaponry to complement the Coterie's vastly superior physical capabilities. Others find a different use for it. They use Psychokinesis to brutally reshape objects from a distance. It is more than just fire, but the application of force combined with raw energy to break down and reshape flesh and bone. It is exceedingly unpleasant, and more than a little gruesome. They suspect that other applications for this ability can be found in the civilian sector. New Industrialists are looking at Psionics as more than just the political game it used to be.

2. Rock Garden +32

In the night the Ministry of Urban Development and Education carts away the massive dragon statue. The official reason given is that the statue was being moved to a new location to free up space for an amphitheater. The official plans for the relocation went missing a few days later. An inquiry was called for by the Revisionists who had initially sculpted the statue. The motion went nowhere in the Senate who were currently far more preoccupied with a lengthy debate on how to regulate the new economics of the country now than Copper and Silver coinage were available.

3. Normalize Relations with the Crabfolk

The Crabfolk are seen as a new trade frontier and endlessly fascinating to the Kratiyans. The Consulate puts forth substantially more effort to move relations toward an active alliance. They make the offer of increased trade, privileges for the Crabkin to study at the University, and a limited migration pact.

1. Iron and copper ores can produce metals, if you know how to extract them. A group of dwarf smiths begin a project to try and enact a similar process with manastone. This rock is naturally infused with mana, what some call magic. If we could somehow extract the magic and concentrate it, leaving the rest of the rock, this could be a power source for many different purposes. (+37, mining, forging, industry)

1. With new skills mastered in the art of magical construction, the Gnomes proudly finalize the completion of their Wandcrafting Shop.

STANGALLI

Merchants comb the lands, seeking new villages and frontiers to trade with an develop. The windcarts speed them across the fields, forests, and hills as they follow up with all the races they met at the tournament. [Trading Places 15/20]

Meanwhile, the Stangalli chat up the benefits of free and open trade with birdman society. The southern tribes, exposed to more foreigners, seem more receptive than the distant and insular northern tribes. [Birdman Hustle 9/10]

Due to the mages unceasing work on the Airships, progress is extremely rapid. They seem almost obsessed with the new project, but the leadership is strangely quiet about their ultimate intentions. [Airships 27/30]

>>2031038

LIZARDMEN

The hunt proves very effective in demonstrating the united power of the Council of Protectors. Former skeptics, jealous of their independence, have no choice but to admit the superiority of the Conclave; they are the strongest tribe in known history. Chieftains living near the Conclave's territory are quick to pledge allegiance and send representatives to the Council.[United Swamp of America 9/12]

The White Stone provides a connection for the Lizardmen to formerly unfamiliar spirit magics. The Shamanate begins intense study of the relic. [Spirit Familiars 4/25]

Relations are strengthened between the Lizardmen and the Apes following an exchange of natural products. They share a similar respect and reverence for the land. [resource: Power Plums], [+1 diplomacy]

>>2031050

BACATIA

Farhad does indeed overdose on the statue's magic, but luckily this brief side trip spent exploring his inner consciousness inspires him to finish the job once the high dies down. He reports that a mighty compulsion settled over him during his experiments to worship the chaos gods, and warns that overuse of the magic could have dire consequences. [Cursed Statue Reverse Engineering 12/12] [+10 chaos magic], [+3 dark magic], [+3 enchanting]

You can now make the Cursed Statue yourself as a 5-point project. It provides an endless supply of gold, conjured up from the void, but beware - if you stare long into the Abyss, it will stare back at you.

The Blood Altar rapidly accelerates the development of elixirs. [Enhanced Blood Elixirs 5/5], [+5 enchanting, +3 blood magic]

Note: The Draconic Bloodstone empowers the Altar, but further research is needed to tap into its might. Your Draconic Bloodstone resource will not be 'used' until this is accomplished.

[Aratoa Warriors] becomes [Aratoa Blood Warriors] - Roll an extra die in combat. Add this value to your combat total.

[Resource: Orc Blood Elixir becomes Enhanced Orc Blood Elixir]
[Resource: Aratoa Bood Elixir becomes Enhanced Aratoa Blood Elixir]

These and previous experiments have used up (1) of your (3) Aratoa POWs

With work on the statue completed, Farhad directs new research into making the prisoners of war into something...more useful. [Fleshgolems 5/25]

You accept mudoil from the fishmen empire. How generous of them! The stuff is quite volatile outside of water, and must be protected from long-term air exposure in special casks. It should be very useful as a fuel source. [resource: mudoil]

Note: Stangalli Trading Post (0)

>>2031095

KRATIYA

Ironically, psychic abilities are enabling the Kratiyans to break into the formerly goblin-dominated industrial market as expert craftsmen. [Psychokinesis 10/12]

The statue is moved from the city-center to begin work on a Rock Garden, a new cultural center. [Rock Garden 3/20]

The Empress of the Crabkin informs you that she'd like to build an embassy in the Kratiyan capital. This will give potential students at the foreign university official recourse in the event it is necessary. Both she and most Crabkin officials are uninterested in any migration of consulate citizenry into their territory. [+3 diplomacy]

The Fauns send their best and brightest disciples of Amhar to Kratiya in order to contribute to the joint cultural project, the Rock Garden. Their help greatly speeds work on the project. [Rock Garden 13/20]

Work on the distillery continues, though creating a formulation that isn't too...potent...but still has a strong effect proves challenging. [Distillery 7/12]

BEGRAVEN REUS

The nearly-completed home structure of the Begraven Reus is a sight to behold, rising high above the landscape like the ancient bones of a broken mountain. All that is left are the finishing touches. [Great Dome 18/20]

The inside of the Dome will be not only a testament to the might of the giants, but a fortress to baffle and confound any invader. For them, it is a work of art and beauty; for outsiders, a disorienting maze of warped perspectives. [[Labyrinthine Design Philosophy 13/15]

There is no artistry in its movements, only the martial; the Dao of Ki-Xa'ki is brutal efficiency. [Ki-Xa'ki Style 8/12]

Housing continues to continue! There's a lot of sea floor to cover, and probably enough fishmen to cover it all... [Mass Housing 18/25]

A new breeding program that focuses on creating super-soldiers out of the fishmen is undertaken in Xi'kai-Xui'lotep. Desperate to please their holy masters, the fishmen willingly submit to the forced 'evolution' as weakness is literally bred out from them. [Superfish 5/20]

APES

The Apes begin a great session of meditation in an attempt to commune with H’ar-Ambe and receive his wisdom. They travel deeper into the ether than they've ever gone before. As monks run low on mana, they are forced to retreat, whittling down the party over time. [Enlightenment of H’ar-Ambe 3/15]

Elders that are working on the Thousand Hands technique realize that it isn't so much moving their hands to a thousand places at once, but allowing their aura to be in every place at the same time. [Thousand Hands Against The World 7/25]

More creative Apes have discovered a joy in creating artful fruit arrangements. [Edible Arrangements 2/5]

>>2031961

DWARVES

Manastone is stubborn and somewhat unstable. Some dwarves see it as a deep reflection of themselves. Other dwarves ignore that pretentious philosophical shit and start figuring out how to make the locked-up energy less locked-up. Access to diamonds should make smashing up manastone a lot easier than it used to be... [Mana Extraction Process 4/25]

Preparation for the ceremony begins. So...uh...how do we do this, exactly? [Mountain King 8/15]

The construction of massive crane-controlled mining platforms has been completed. A series of gears and wenches moves the platforms into position over the lava, where mining can commence in relative safety - still one of the most dangerous jobs, but at least they're not relying on ropes and knots. Water power is channeled into the depths to wench the dwarves back from the lava pools with their mined cargo and leveraged to hoist the gems back to the upper levels. [Diamond Extraction 10/10], [+10 engineering], [+5 economy]

The influx of diamonds sends dwarven spirits soaring. (Note: stability is already maxed. The dwarven kingdom randomly expands! See map)

With easy(er) access to diamonds, the Mana Extraction Process accelerates. [4/15]

>>2032304

RAZGRIZ

The smelter is completed! The extra rations sure helped things come together quickly. Forged iron bars start to pour out of the building, ready to be turned to greater purpose. [Smelter 5/5], [+3 construction], [+3 metalworking], [+1 craftsmanship]

Progress on irrigation accelerates [Irrigation 4/10]

Refined projects will need refined tools. Construction of a tinkerker's workshop is rapidly completed next to the new smelter to take advantage of the close supply of material. [+4 iron tools, +2 construction]

>>2032559

GNOMES

The Gnomes finish their Wandcrafting shop. It's a beauty! The Gnomish families share the same space, though there is a stiff sense of competition among them, to say the least. [Wandcrafting Shop 10/10], [+5 wandcrafters], [+3 magic construction], [+3 magic control], [+3 culture]

The Gnomes send an expedition north. Luckily they've already met all these people at the tournament, aside from the dwarves. They establish more regular relationships with other civilizations. [+3 diplomacy, +1 culture, +1 expansion]

1. Trade Silver to the Stangalli

The rich silver mines of the Goblinmounts provide the Kratiyans with something everyone wants, silver. The Kratiyans trade this silver to other powers, minted in Kratiya with a Goblin on one side and a Kratiyan on the other. The coins of the Consulate are becoming widespread, found in the West and South as well at the North.

2. Psychokinesis 10/12 +48

Psychokinesis is swiftly becoming the favored method of combat among the Coterie for its range, versatility, and devastating power. Its uses in industry are not without merit, but it is clearly an ancillary benefit for without further development and fine-tuning.

3. Tin Mine +50

The Industrialization of Kratiya begins in earnest. The application of real economic controls, and the simplification of the economic model in response, have allowed for a vast new wave of entrepreneurship. The now wide-spread trade and economic network Kratiya is linked to and contributes too feeds the desire for more resources to be extracted and more goods to be produced to feed their growing markets. The tin discovered in the eastern hills is a tantalizing prospect as it had yet been unclaimed. A flurry of activity creates boom and bust towns in equal measure as everyone with some capital looks to become the next Nizipvak and corner their own slice of the market.

1. It seems the diamonds are key to this new technology. To draw the mana out it needs to be stored somewhere else, and crystals are the way to do this. Of all crystals out there, diamonds are the best by far. Now we need to work out how best to draw the mana out and get it to go where we want it. (+37, mining, forging, industry) [Mana Extraction Process 4/15]

2. Dwarf society is very conservative. Even though all agree on the necessity of a king now that there are two holds, making that change happen still takes more time than it might in most nations. [Mountain King 8/15] (+18 dwarven culture, organisation)

3. The platforms used for diamond mining are marvels of engineering. With a few modifications they can be used on a wider scale, creating a system of lifts to move rock, metal, beer and dwarves around our cities. More goods and people will get where they're going more quickly, prosperity for dwarfkind! (+61, forging, industry, engineering, organisation)

"Thank you, good sir Dwarf. Tales of your fine ales have reached even us to the far south, and I think myself lucky to sample some!"

The Gnome spends his time at the Dwarven Pub, drinking alongside the Dwarves. Truth be told of all the races, Dwarves and Gnomes were, at least on a appearance, somewhat similar. Dwarves were actually taller than Gnomes, and of stockier build, and that in part was to do with their industrious nature.

The Gnome certainly couldn't out drink a Dwarf, but he did try!

"I've come more than just to sample your ale, which has exceeded everything i've heard of. I've also come a great distance because I have heard tales of your mechanical skillcraft.

I am Adelion Helios, of the Helios Clan of Leylis. And this is my wand, a Helios wand."

It was a wand wrapped in a small amount of copper coil, with a crude dial near the hilt. Any dwarf would notice some of the metallurgical primitiveness of the thing (indeed the Gnomes had not yet mastered the art of smithing, having had to, by expensive trade and salvage from other lands, scrounge up what bits and pieces of metal they could). But it was certainly different than a standard wooden wand.

"The Helios clan values accuracy above all things. We appreciate a more mechanical aspect to magical crafting, using the various elements to focus both mana and magic into a precise and well placed shot. All the magical power in the world does one little good, if you cannot hit what you aim at.

We are greatly interested in educating ourselves in your land. To help us in our hopes and dreams of being the greatest wandsmiths of the age. I know this is much to ask, but Clan Helios understands the merits of trade. Knowledge for knowledge, we would offer ourselves what we know of our own wandcraft if you would allow us the privelege of studying in your lands. Much do we think could be shared from both our peoples."

1. Tales of the Dwarven homeland being true reach the Wandcrafters of Leylis. Many Gnomes take on a pilgrimage to see the Dwarven outer city for themselves.

The six great families each have reasons to want to come see the dwarves. The Malewands, impressed by the finesse and artistry of their crafts, the Jacobians, for the strength of their steel and might of their metal, the Helios to observe and wonder at the technological marvels, the Torke for the fury and power of the dwarven machinery, Dallians who sought martial prowess, and Atlas, who want to be good at all things though masters of none. Each individual Gnome would come bearing the unique styles and concepts of their clan.

They come to establish small shops and merchant work in the outer city, to sell their wares of Wands to the Dwarves at a fair price. It is the goal of every Wandsmith to fullfill the orders of their customers and to show the mastery of their craft, and what better way to refine one's craft and put to test the work of one's own hand than by selling. The Gnomes are more than happy to exchange ideas, trade, and knowledge with those who would listen. A young race seeking to imbibe on the wisdom of one much older.

2. Inspired by the Dwarves, and noting the lack of their own metallurgical abilities, the Gnomes seek to strengthen their deficit. With the new abilities they had learned from their wands, and inspired by the Dwarves metallurgical prowess, many new Gnomish smiths attempt to pry themselves and advance the metal arts in Leylis.

They hew into mountains and stone with their magic wands, carving to reach precious ores, whisking wind and sparks in furnaces to fuel the fires.

It was Clan Tork who figured out the smell to hammer steel, where other wands were either too weak or too fragile, Tork wands had the power to effectively hammer metal with magic without shattering. Gnomes were not the strongest of people, but there was strength in their craft. They would learn the art of metallurgy yet!

Arawn of the Fauns rides toward the West with a comitive of close friends.They travel across the lands of the dwarfs until they reach the humid plains where the rivers are born. He thought that the council would send Aengus for this expedition, after all he never was the kind of faun for diplomatic relations...figthing, riding and partyin is what he knew that he could do well. Still, once the council acknowledged his conection with one of the Lizardmen warriors, he was chosen for this task.

They wait on the borders of the swamp, sure that soom the Lizard folk will take notice.

Coming along with Arawn, is Alastir, a diminute old faun, with a long white beard that almost touches the floor. Alastir was recently discovered living as an hermit in a cave on the Highlands, since the Song of the Forest it is said that he has been displaying a magical knowldge without precedents among the fauns. He claims that shapes are an ilusion and that all living beings can change their place on the Unifinished Music of the World.

The Lizardmen have demonstrated a natural knowldge that know no rivals, and are likely the best partners to explore this new field of natural magic...by working with the fauns both civilization could attain a new enlightenment.

Trade is one thing, and we dwarves have nothing against trade. Exchanging knowledge is something else though. Generations of dwarves have created and refined our crafts, to simply tell an outsider of their secrets would be very disrespectful to our ancestors. We can sell you items, make them for you to your order if necessary, indeed we'd be happy to if you can offer suitable payment, but we can't give you our knowledge.

ACTION 1: FOUND A SETTLEMENT (between the Dwarves and the Birdmen, on the shores of the small lake, see pic related for location. The Kobolds have long labored under wanderlust. They issue forth, leveraging every aspect of their civilization to manage the complicated process of creating a second home. They make their way down rivers and past towns, being polite and diplomatic to all they encounter but ready to defend themselves with tooth, claw, and magic if trouble starts. Tracking through the lands of the other civilizations they know, they journey until they manage to find a piece of free territory. They gift their new neighbors tokens of ruby and copper and are soon putting up a fishing village on the shores of the lake and secure it using their full complement of skills. The traps are laid down first for perimeter security and a food supply, and then all aspects of superior Kobold craftsmanship are put into place.

ACTION 2: RESEARCH MECHANICS - [Mechanica Koboldica 11/20] - The Kobold sages leverage every aspect of their field of knowledge, studying the motions of the body and making observations of nature in their effort to wheedle out this truth. They hope to bring the project to a splendid conclusion, painstakingly making notes of all their progress.

Rolled 64 + 78 (1d100 + 78)

>>2037217
ACTION 3: SEND SCOUTS TO THE NORTH-EAST - The Kobolds reason that the corner of the land to the northeast of the Consulate is a likely place to look for new opportunities; there may be fertile lands at the end of the rivers, or a group to trade with judging from a few delegations they observed move out that way in the time of the great Kratiyan exploration. They journey, ever so unwittingly, north along the rivers from the Consulate's lake. In time they come to the mountains and begin scouting the area, looking for signs of farming or construction, moinoing or sites of worship, even traps and magic - in short, for the work of a skilled hand and a mind quickened to consciousness out in the wilderness. They prepare to meet anyone in the name of the Confederacy, acting as a cultured and diplomatic people of the world.

A hunting party quickly comes across the group of Fauns. Upon hearing the proposition and realizing that one of these particular Fauns has earned the trust of Proud-among-Warriors the envoys are swiftly put in touch with a group from the Shamante.
The group led by Splashed-with-Water, second in command of the Shamanate, express interest in returning with the Fauns for a short while and studying this topic in depth. They bring along a few Crafts-Lizards, in case any totems are needed, and a bodyguard of Rangers.

"We understand. We would not steal that which is not ours, nor press for that which we have no right to. In time, I pray we might prove ourselves friends of the dwarf and maybe one day earn a trust among your people. For now, we will settle for trade. We shall not pry on what is not freely given.

Though we would indeed like to purchase Dwarven craft items."

MAGES

The mages finish work on the mighty airships, and begin rapid preparations on deploying their new technology.

ORCS

The Orcs march toward an Imperium. No longer will they be a ragtag group of chanting raiders, but a military force organized for a single violent purpose. [Orcish Imperium 13/15]

>>2033004

APES

Repeated trips into the depths, or heights - is there direction in the spirit world? - of the etherium allows the elders to travel farther and father on less mana. [Enlightenment of H’ar-Ambe 7/15]

The idea of using the aura itself to form multiple simultaneous strikes, rather than depending entirely on the arms moving at high speeds, proves a significant advancement for the technique. [Thousand Hands Against The World 11/25]

At first not take seriously, the arranging of aesthetically pleasing yet edible fruit arrangements becomes a cultural pastime for the Apes, seen as its own form of meditation through art. [+3 culture, +3 aesthetics]

>>2033055

FAUNS

The joint project on the Rock Garden continues. The Fauns make great contributions with their nature magic. [Rock Garden 18/20]

The distillery proves a stubborn stretch goal for the Fauns, who are more in touch with the earth than with brewing vats. Progress, however, is inevitable. [Blue Sap Distillery 9/12]

The natural progression of advanced nature magic for the Fauns is a form of druidism that focuses on shapeshifting. [Animal Shapeshifting 5/15]

>>2033140

BACATIA

Research into the untapped power of the draconic bloodstone is undertaken. With the altar already upgraded, it should be simpler to integrate its power. [Altar Upgrade 8/15]

The southern nomadic tribe of the birdmen, following the cajoling and wooing of master Stangalli merchants, agree to establish a shop on the 'international row' of the bazaar. Trade with the tribes now becomes a regular occurrence, and former tensions have been firmly put to rest. [Birdman Hustle 10/10], [+5 diplomacy], [+5 economy], [+3 recurve bows]

Stangalli could sell feathers to the birdmen and seawater to the fishmen. Their lust for trade knows no borders or boundaries. [A Bizarre Bazaar 5/5 Civs], [+15 economy], [+5 diplomacy]

Your joint project with the mages has been completed. Massive new airships are tethered to the ground above Vil-Kaji. With Stangalli wing magic and the systematic magical application of the mages, they've created a wonder the likes of which the world has never seen - a vessel that can fly through the sky at speed, bypassing the rigors of land travel.

The sprawling metropolis of the underground fishmen empire roils outward from smaller population centers, great ghost-cities of coral and stone nearly ready for the impending population explosion. [Mass Housing 22/25]


With a base population established, the Aboleths begin to preen the minds of their supersoldiers of inefficiencies such as "emotions" and "critical thinking". [Superfish 10/20]

>>2033394

LIZARDMEN

The nomads are particularly skeptical of an immobile home, but Hillhome's powerful defenses and bright community make is a persuasive argument amidst an inhospitable swamp. [United Swamp of America 8/12]

The younglings have a much better resonance with the white stone. It is believed that as their spirits are more pure and unburdened, they can more easily get in touch with the spirit realm that is so familiar to the Apes. [Spirit Familiars 9/25]

Construction begins on a secure hatchery to raise the young, freeing parents from a continual responsibility. During the day they'll be able to contribute further to the tribe with peace of mind, and without anyone remaining home for long periods. [Hatchery 4/7]

>>2033526

BEGRAVEN REUS

Compilations of architectural philosophy and entire treatises on the means and applications of confusing "sighted" creatures have given the Begraven Reus a great tradition to draw on in future designs. [Labyrinthine Design Philosophy 15/15]. [+7 architecture, +7 craftsmanship, +4 culture]

[Labyrinths] - When defending, roll an extra die. Add 1/2 the value of this die to your combat total.

Thonce Narerv' rises high in the depths of the mountains, a bone of the earth stabbing into the sky from broken soil far below. It is an impressive fortress for a new rising kingdom! [+10 construction, +10 fortification, +4 architecture], [stability: content]

You've been met by the Kobolds! You can trade with them by using an action, and talk with them at any time.

>>2034164

KOBOLDS

The Kobolds construct a new settlement on good land between two much larger neighbors, near the dwarven boom town of Brok Avar. Kobold scholars are in awe of the great water-power harvesting engines of the dwarves. They offer the nearby birdmen copper and rubies in greeting. The birdmen accept the gifts but remain somewhat wary of the sudden arrival of distant strangers. The dwarves will have to speak for themselves... [+4 expansion], [see map]

The Kobolds lay down hard on the research lever. Get it? Lever? [Mechanica Koboldica 16/20]

The Kobold expedition finds a mighty fortress deep in the northern mountain range. An earlier Kratiyan expedition blazed the trail, but the wilderness around it is wild and rugged, like a wreath laid on a tomb of stone. The civilization's tall denizens dwarf even the Dragonwrought. They use a combination of a strange "liquid stone" they call concrete as well as highly refined craftsmanship to build their homes. Just walking through their city is disorienting. [+3 scouts]

You've met the Begraven Reus! You've been met by the Kobolds! You can trade with them by using an action, and talk with them at any time.

Resource: [Cannons] - In combat, roll an extra die and add the value to your combat total.

Lachstagen fieldsmen notice that potash seems to help plants grow quite a bit. Hemp farming becomes all the rage, as its usefulness in both clothing, rope, and construction is undeniable. [Hemp Farm 2/7]

Lachstagen society being what it is, hemp is not the only material recognized for its usefulness. Bone is sturdy and good for sheaths, hilts, fixtures, and even tools or blades themselves in a pinch. [+5 bonecrafting]

>>2034659

DWARVES

The dwarves are close to gems, and they quickly recognize them for their capacity to hold mana, especially when they're used in directly mashing up manastone. Diamonds are the 'purest' mana-containing gem known, and is selected as the idea vessel for magical energy. [Mana Extraction Process 7/15]

Meetings are held concerning future meetings about meetings among the chiefs from the families from the houses from the tunnels that hold sway over dwarven society. The would-be king forces himself to attend. [Mountain King 11/15]

The specialized prototype that is the diamond mining system is recognized for its potential and quickly adapted to the often-vertical and usually-underground lifestyle of the dwarves. [Powered Elevators 4/7]

The Gnomes have established a trading post in your outer city. They can trade with you in the future without expending an action themselves. Their specialty in magic further boost's the kingdom's economy. [+2 economy]

>>2034905

GNOMES

The Gnomes recognize the value of trade with the experienced dwarves. They can supply the steel, and the Gnomes can certainly give magical aid in the future. [Dwarven Trading Post (1)] - You may trade with the Dwarves without expending an action (1) one time. [+2 economy, +2 expansion, +1 diplomacy]

The Gnomes take a different tack to the subject of metallurgy, relying on their magical expertise. [+2 magic metalwork]

>>2033394

LIZARDMEN Part 2

The efforts to unify Lizard-kind have succeeded. One after another, the chieftains of various tribes pledge loyalty to the council. Excited lizardfolk arrive in Hill-Home in droves, and the territory under the Protectors swells to encompass the majority of the swamp.

1. Voltshroom Industry

Voltshrooms provide the catalyst that Kratiyan industry was waiting for. Their small size still generates a serious electrical charge, and the rich copper mines of the Goblinmounts are in excellent position to profit. In this effort to massive industrialize the nation a few key players emerge. First, Alixia xa Tyrol, First Minister of Urban Development and Education, uses her influence within the government bureaucracy to buy up substantial amounts of land on the west coast. Using the river and her close relations with the Fauns, she cultivates a vast amount of voltshrooms. Many of the farms that had lie in that direction were purchased or simply torn down to make room for the staggering fields of voltshrooms that stretch for dozens of miles from the edge of the lake clear into what is presumed to be Hilland territory. For many of the farmers, the pay under xa Tyrol was better than under tenant farming, but the loss of autonomy is frustrating for others who had come to escape the pressures of life under authority.

The second is Xzavwill Kitcsta. Owning some of the largest copper mines in the Goblinmounts, and a few of the tin mines located further east, he pushes into the bronze market. As the largest industrialist producing bronze he swiftly corners the market and establishes a monopoly over the material just in time for the government to push toward a massive armament program utilizing bronze equipment. His Senatorial connections among the goblin leadership in Petroika allow him to maintain not only a monopoly, but prevents any Consular Inquiries into poor working conditions in his mines and foundries.

The third is Kalmya Haslhaz, another copper magnate. Owning some of the smaller copper mines to the eastern reaches of Consulate Goblinmounts she focuses her mining and refining to spooling copper into wire to be utilized by voltshrooms. As industry ramps up and the demand for copper wire increases so too does her influence and wealth. Fourth is Grajahe Milbunc whose inventive work allows for voltshrooms to power the basic automated machinery made for them. Pistons, hammers, needles, all of it could be powered by voltshrooms fed into a central generator. Outputs that once took an entire village could now be done by a single person working a twelve hour shift with only one fifteen minute break.

2. Mana-Coral Powered Armor +59

Voltshrooms can do more than just power industry. They can also power objects. The Goblins in particular, angered by the usurping of the fighting arm of the Republic to the Manifesters of the Coterie, push hard for the development of this equipment. Now only would the defensive abilities make them a difficult force to crack, but the abilities conferred make them even more powerful warriors. Little effort is spared by Goblin senators to push for its development using state funds. As such, two hundred (1 resource) suits of the mana-coral armor provided by the Crabkin is utilized in research.

In true fashion an industrialist steps up to offer their services. A Goblin named Theodunc Sutkei is granted a monopoly charter to cultivate mana-coral in the lake for government use. The Several Kratiyan senators protest the official granting of a monopoly charter, but they are outnumbered by their peers. The motion passes 328-58.

3. Accept the Stangalli offer to trade mana-coral for Airships.

>Action 1
A group of Razgrizian merchants seems to nonchalantly barge into the Stangalli bazaar, their carts filled with wares that range from stoneworks,tools, decorative wood furniture and carvings.
One of men just went up to one of the guards and said "we were so graciously invited to use your bazaar, the payment for the privilege that your vizirs have given us is here" he hands the guards the reins of a cart-carrying-horse. "I believe the down payment is two cart full of smelted iron bars and you'll be expecting a bimonthly supply of the cart full of the same wares. Apologies if I cannot afford you civilities for we must labor quickly to establish our shop. As they say in my culture, Time runs away from idle legs."

Establish trade deal with Stangalli for a spot in their bazaar for iron [+1] [Diplomacy]

>Action 2
Sir Brgyenwerth of House Jannah is seen coordinating the tool makers, carpenters, stone masons, and general laymen in a flurry of instructions. a small portion of the riverbank alongside the mouth of the river Mange is filled dirt and walled with cleanly cut stone. the layout however provides the incoming riverflow certain accesses through the structure, creating small canals and pools of fresh water. Along with the foundation, a prototype room has been built and although it is not as grand as the ones in the old capital but the sight of of chairs and desks brings a certain gleam of pride back to the faces of the Razgrizians partaking in the grand project. Men and women visit the site, some clutching their sons and daughters, showing them the foundations of a grand institution but in the eyes of the people who still remember life in the old empire, this was a start of a project of reclamation, a reclamation of a proud tradition of learning and excellence.

1. Inspired by the Dwarfs, and applying some ideas they learned from their own Magical Metallurgy, some of the very first Iron Wands are made. Few in number due to having to trade for Iron from the Dorfs, these new wands are 100 times stronger than common wood, and as much less likely to shatter from the strongest spells (or even physical damage, as wood could be snapped in half all too often).

These Iron Wands would be able to hold much more powerful magic charges without shattering, for much more powerful spells.

The Elder Council itself approved these Iron Wands, citing them as a precursor to a new age for the Wandcrafters of Leyliis.

2. A new age of Metal, the Gnomes turn to the ground in search of nearby Iron for a mine. With wands, they begin scouring the ground, chopping it into pieces with slicing spells and extracting the precious ores in teams, lifting them up from the earth with the power of their wands.

The new metallurgical knowledge and some common information from the stout Dwarves on what Iron ore looks like in the ground, which for them was simple and trivial knowledge known to many older other cultures as well, but for the Gnomes a new experience altogether, who had not tried mining before. Until today.
