Last time,You finally entered the lands of the dark lord Lazarus Drack. You talked to the dark elf Ruriska Melraes, and you pushed her closer to the young Dillon.

On the way, you met a circus, which was immobilized because of a broken axis on one of there caravans. You convinced your husband to help them, and you made the acquaintance of the artists, especially the boss's wife, who gave you a foreign book on flexibility, saying it'll help you stay in shape.

Later, you come face to face with a group of peasants infested with zombie plague. You killed them all and burned their bodies. you will need to investigate that.

The next day, you arrived at Drack's Keep, the capital of your husband's empire. It is a dirty, poor and dangerous place. You entered the castle, and a party was in preparation. You discovered your room, and a bathroom. You invited your companions to share it with you. This is where you learned that the party is actually your coronation.

During the festivities, you met noblemen, military officers, and noblewomen, and things are the same here. Noblemen are lying perverts, Military officers are realistic, pragmatic even, and noblewomen don't have any powers.

That's where you met Kazeen Thorn, master of the black moon. You tried to learn more, and even if he is courteous, he never responded directly on his motivations.

After, you took part in the ceremony, you received your crown and you officially became empress.

Then, you said good nights to your friends and you went back to your room with your husband. In your bed, he asked you if you loved him. You said that you didn't love him yet, that you can't forget the horrors he committed, but that you give him a chance to win your heart, If he can do good.

You wake up in your husband's arms, the warmth of his body against yours. The rays of the rising sun illuminate the rooms. It must not be late. You remember everything that happened yesterday. You are empress, you have power over millions of lives, but you feel ready.

-Your actions yesterday and over the last month have increased your skills.

-Rapier : +1
-Lovemaking : +1
-Economy : +1
-Magic : +1

fter a few moments, Lazarus wakes up too. He kisses you and you get out of bed. After a few minutes, knock on the door. you answer, and Silviana, accompanied by several other servants, enters the room to dress you and your husband.

After you're both dressed, the maids remain in the room to clean it. As your personnal maid, Silviana follow you everywhere. You leave for the castle's dining room for breakfast. When you arrive in front of the room, everyone is already there, waiting for you at full attention. When they see you,the face you and bow.

>"your royal highnesses, we are happy to see you. We hope you had a good night." say Irene

>"Thank you everyone. I had a pleasant night. And I hope all of you slept well too."you reply.

You all enter the room, You and your husband take a seat and cooks bring your breakfast.

>"The rooms are really comfortable, and the beds are big." say Silviana. "and each room has a fireplace."

>"It's because it's very cold in the winter, young lady" reply the dark lord, " I commisioned some dwarves engineers to develop a system to heat a whole wing, but for now they have nothing."

>"Are you interested in engineering ?" you ask him.

>"I want to develop war machines and siege engines, I have some ideas of my own." he reply.

You smile, First biology, now engineering. You're starting to think the dark lord is a bit of a nerd.

As you eat you talk casually with your friends. You notice that everyone looks fine, except Dillon. He has dark circles under his eyes, who are red. He look like someone who didn't have an ounce of sleep.

>Ask him.

You look at Ruriska with a serious look on your face.

>"Ruriska, can you please explain why our poor Dillon look like someone who stayed awake all night ? As you share the same bedroom, I find it strange that you look good compared to him."

>"Haha, I don't understand, what do you mean my queen ? I didn't do anything to the boy." she say nervously.

>"I never said you did something." you reply with a smile.

>"Oh, yes, right. Well . . . Maybe I was a little . . . drunk last night. And maybe, I bothered Dillon." she tell you.

>"How could you bother this boy ? He'll do anything to tell him without any questions." you ask

The dark elf open her mouth, but say nothing, then she close it. It look like she's trying to figure what to say. And it look like she's . . . blushing ? It's weak, but you think you can see her getting red in the face.

>"I . . . don't really remember. But I'm sure I didn't do anything weird, nothing happened. I didn't undress in front of him, I didn't push him on the bed, I didn't try to have my way with him, and I surely didn't fall asleep naked on top of him. " she reply really fast.

You all look at her with suspicion. You look at Dillon, and the boy turn his head away to avoid looking at you in the eyes.

>"So nothing happened ? You didn't do anything together ?" ask the dark lord.

>"Nothing at all my lord." reply Ruriska.

>"A shame really. I think you deserve each other" he say has he sip his mug of mead.

Everyone, you included, look at the dread knight with shocked faces. He then burst out laughing. After breakfast, your husband takes you directly to a special room. You all come in, and you look at the room. The walls are covered with maps, there are plans and diagrams on several tables, and many shelves are filled with various books.

>"This is where we are going to manage the empire, the next room is where we'll meet the nobles, dignitaries and various representatives. It will be necessary to establish a very strict schedule, we have a lot to do."

You nod. What do you do now ?

Welp. No Tin?
Ask about where potential invasions can come from, and what sort of spies do we have trying to stop busters from causing rebellions or supporting Hagendorf

>>2881800
I don't see Black Moon, do they just own the entire Dark Forest or wat?

>>2881813
How big is a troll ogre and giant, do kobolds work with Lamias?
Do undead live in the dead land or scattered out?
Are any savage races unable to be tamed?

I don't see the black moon anywhere. Use pink and purple and whatever colors to differentiate so they dont look the same or blend into the background.

Those rivers would give a cartographer a seizure...

>>2881825
Grey space are dead land, in this case the death fields of Thoreric. You'll need to actually send people to clean the bodies and death, and maybe a priest or two if you want to avoid a zombies plague.

Circles are cities, the former capitales of the northern kingdoms. Now they are regional capitals. They have a large population.

>>2881827
The only tin mine was destroyed by the lord who exploited it, to ensure the dark lord won't get any. This man was decapitated, but you'll need to either look for another vein, or dig the mine again.

>>2881834
>>2881870
For now the Black Moon don't own any land in your empire, but they have priest setting up missions around around the country to spread the faith and gain followers.

>>2881870
Mistakes were made, and I don't really know how to make realistic rivers. I tried to look up innerworld civ as an example.

>>2881800
Also ask about where he's considered founding his western capital and what is the plan to support the kingdoms he conquered recover a bit for the wars to come.

>>2881892
King's Road should prob follow along the Rivers a bit, don't you think? I think part of Drack's army might be levies, and I think he uses quite a few non humans as soldiers.

>>2881892
Let's take a look at the current transportation network first... building roads are an insane undertaking, especially when your workforce are subsistence farmers. It will also take decades to complete.

Laying roads is something you use to keep your army occupied during peacetime. Certainly not a winter project.

However we've got demihumans like trolls, giants and centaurs. Perhaps they can be convinced to take gainful employment? No idea how feral they actually are. If they have an economy or are integrated into the empire's trade network we can probably work out a deal.

Ok, not a seizure but I am near an aneurysm. Rivers *always* run toward the sea, and lakes only have ONE river leading to the sea, because there is only one area that is the lake's lowest point where it can overflow. You can have several smaller rivers leading out but they will always join into one as soon as possible. Rivers do not flow between lakes.

>>2881942
maybe it was a channels of the old empire? and one more thing what is the technology level of the story?

>>2881843
Troll size : 7'2 - 8'3 with exception.
Ogre size : 11'-12' with exception.
Giant size : start at 16'5'' and the older they get the taller they are. Legend talk about 65' tall giants, but now one ever saw one.

Undead are scattered, one one really know if gather at one specific place,those who meet one speak of them as hermits, who flee civilization.

Even if they both look like reptile, lamia and kobold don't mix, Lamias usually form pair or small group up to 10 individuals and are quite selfish. Kobolds live in large tribes up to 300 individual, and share everything within the tribe.

The various "non-human" group are shunned from society, People see them as monsters, savages. Some are less civilized, but overall, you can try opening diplomacy with them. There is some exceptions, but people see them as savage who learned to be true men. You'll never see a gnoll or a troll with an important job in a city.

>>2881942
Thank for the advice i'll correct the map.

>>2881961
This is true, they could be canals built to provide fertilization and transportation.

>>2881962
with that in mind i would say we go the diplomatic road with the non-humans and offer them rights in exchange for loyalty and service

>>2881978
>rights
Not full rights, though, right? Giving them citizenship would make the whole realm revolt

>>2881987
More like slave rights labours.
We dont kill them and they work for us, and get some coin to buy nice things from us.

>>2881991
lmao, give them the right to seek gainful employment.

>>2881987
of course not from the beginning they will work for that and if the citizens see the savages can work they might warm up to them but in the end it doesn't matter for all will serve us one way or another

>>2881892
>>2881961
So I'm not at all against building a road network, but while it is an absolute necessity to move troops it's not a very feasible project when war is imminent.

Do you want it to be dirt roads, paved brick, macadam?

I think Giants can easily work quarries and crush stone, ogres and minotaurs for the labor, centaur for transport... and all the humans going fucking nuts over what we're doing.

>>2881978
>>2881991
Respect their territorial rights, give them the right to petition the king and offer them fair trade rights. ie, human exploitation of their lands end and they'll have to negotiate with the demihumans for it.

On second thought that's going to make the nobles revolt. Man this isn't gonna be easy

I'm going to take what all of you have written for now. So you can see what happen next.

>>2882000
dude the nobles cry at 3% taxex they are either totaly incompetent or greedy both are reason that they perhaps need to be freeed of the heavy burden we placed on their shoulder

>>2882000
>>2882021
Yeah, we can allow them to have their own laws in their "rightful lands". We can make exceptions, like if a citizen kills a citizen in their land, it goes to like, noble court or something lmao.

You look at the map with intensity. there is so much to do. You raise your head, and start talking.

>"I already have several idea on how we could improve the realm. We could build a road network between the cities, but with winter coming and the threat of a war with Hagëndorff, I don't know if this is a good idea. Whe could also create as school for science, and military too. I also want to get the standing army to around 600.000-1.000.000 men, so we'll be able to secure our borders. Hagëndorff can only attack by the south, so we have the advantage. with that in mind I also want to star opening up diplomatic talk with the non-humans and offer them rights in exchange for loyalty and service. This will help us in the long run."

>"Are you sure about this ? ask Irene, "People don't really like them, you know. That's why they don't have any right."

>"I was thinking more about something like respect of their territorial rights, we'll give them the right to petition us and offer them fair trade rights. We make human exploitation of their lands end, they'll have to open trade with the various non-human."

>"The nobles won't like it. A lot of them exploit the non-human worse than slaves, some even kill them when they are spotted on their lands." say Ruriska.

>"They'll follow our rules, or they'll be punished. If they want to revolt, they can try, we'll just crush them under our boots, like the bugs they are." declare your husband with anger.

Fortunately, he calm down really fast, and begin his explanations.

>"You'll have a lot of work during the week. You can start project during work time, since you already have some, you're booked for the month. Then you have your evening time, when you meet representatives. During the week you have free time, where you can relax, or learn something. does this sound good to you ?" he explain.

>"Yes, I understand." you reply.

>Good. When you send request for project, we use either carrier pigeon, or magic. At the end of the month you have the result of your works." he say

>"Sound goos to me. We shouls start now, we have a lot to do." you tell him.

>"Indeed my dear, indeed." reply Lazarus, as he get closer to the table.

Together, you start working on managing an empire.

Here how you'll spend a week :

Work Time : Project you anon decide on.
Social Time : meet peoples, representatives, diplomats, hold a party (with your own money)
Free time : do whatever you want (spend time with friends, with your husband, increase your skills, relax)

For now it look like this.

-Work Time :
>build a roads network.
>create a school of science/military.
>increase the standing army up to 1 000 000 men.
>Open diplomatic talk with the non-human races.

-Social Time
>Talk to the non-human representatives.
>Talk to the nobles about the non-human situation.

-Free Time
>Relax

Do you want to change something ? Do you have any questions ?

We should talk to the nobles before opening diplomacy with the non-humans.

>>2882136
>>Talk to the nobles about the non-human situation.

Let’s start with the civilized ones first, then move onto the non civilized ones. Perhaps the dwarves first, seeing how we’re going to need some engineers and builders for this road idea.

He's posting the schedule, not asking what you want to do.

You are half right. you can change, or add things in social time. And you can change Free time if you want. This is how the first week will go. For the next one you have free rein.

>>2882169
dwarves and elves are considered "civilised", they work, they have kids and pay their taxes. They are full citizens, even if they prefer to keep to themselves.

You begin to start construction projects. plans are sent out, engineers are assembled and workers recruited. You explain your vision of things, a network of roads connecting the major cities of the empire.This project is called "King's road", The engineers ask what kind of roads should be built?
Of course with the coming winter, work will begin in the spring.

> Dirt road: cheap, 3 years.
> Gravel road: average, 7 years.
> Paved road: expensive, 15 years.

You are also beginning to supervise the construction of a school that will welcome the greatest minds of the empire, the goal being to train the future great men of the empire. This university will teach science, and military art. The work is already starting, and unless very bad weather, the first building will be finished before spring.

>-1 finances

You also decide to increase the size of the army, you make an appeal across the kingdom, You recruit 395 000 brave men, eager to protect their country.
You hope to be able to increase the standing army to a million men.

You also send messengers everywhere to let people know that the Empress wants to meet the leaders of the different nonhuman peoples of the empire. The messengers are riding to the areas inhabited by known tribes and groups, and you hope they will respond to your offer.

We can take a few of them as advisors or ladies in waiting for the Empress or the Empress's servants and it could let them think that we at least take them serious enough to live with us and talk to them on a daily basis.

Rolled 44, 27 = 71 (2d100)

>>2882394

I think we should only train the troops for the winter, then put them into a reserve system, because if out of four million civilized people we have a quarter of them in the army we might damn well starve.

Still we need to ease into it off just talking to them is radical

>>2882950
Something like 'the allotment system' would work. It's the same general tech level and the empire is facing a similar problem with manpower.

Unfortunately I doubt Freya is able to come up with the idea, young and inexperienced she is.

>>2883157
We could build sections for them in the city for their "nobles" to stay, that would definitely make them happy.
Maybe Freya just comes up with it on accident, or thinks up one part and mentions it to Lazarus, then he kisses us and says we're brilliant.

Your recruitment campaign has been successful, the first recruits are already there, and the estimates are very favorable. Looks like you'll have your new soldiers in 1-2 months. The majority are peasants, of various ages, who want to earn money to support their families. (49 375 / 395 000).

79+8=87
Your reputation has helped you a lot, the leaders of the numerous tribes and non-human group have responded to your call, they're on their way to your capital, and are eager to know why the dark queen wants to meet them.
They will be there next month.

You chose to build gravel roads, a good compromise between dirt and paved road. The engineers estimate that the work will last for 7 years. As soon as spring comes, they will start working on it. You think there has to be a way to reduce construction time. But that remains to be studied.

Today you are meeting the nobles of the empire. It was easy to get them together, the majority are still in the city, with your coronation. They will not leave until next week. You are sitting on your throne, the nobles are in front of you. they bow to you. Your husband isn't here, you asked him to let you do this alone.

> "Our respects, Grand Empress. we respond to your request. You wanted to talk to us about the non-humans problems. They are numerous in the northern kingdoms, savages, barbarian monsters. What do you have to tell us about them?"

You need to explain what you want to do. What do you say to these men ?

>>2883390
"His Imperial Highness, Dread Lord Lazarus Drack, has agreed with me that all the inhabitants of his Empire should be working towards increasing its greatness. Therefore, I have decided to figure out ways to employ and utilize the demi-humans. This will happen, one way or another, so my lords, please present ideas to integrate them into the Empire."
The plan will be to let them then freak the fuck out and present ideas or just be blustered enraged nobles. Then, we will respond with our own ideas and maybe include some of theirs.

>>2883390
We can't afford to worry about them while we have a looming war. Determine which races are the most 'civil' of them and offer 'non-aggression' pacts. No more indiscriminate killings; though if they engage in open hostilities the nobles are free to defend themselves and their property (emphasis on defend). For our more ambitious nobles/merchants, negotiate with those non-human groups that agree to pacts, for trade agreements.

>>2883406
We would have to decide territories, or nobles and demihumans would just fuck each other over all the time.

>>2883404
This

>>2883407
of course, so we'll need to find where each group are currently occupied, where there's overlap and potentially create 'reservations' for them and grant them tribal sovereignty

"His Imperial Highness, The DarkLord Lazarus Drack, has agreed with me that all the inhabitants of his Empire should be working towards increasing its greatness. Therefore, I have decided to figure out ways to employ and utilize the demi-humans. This will happen, one way or another, so my lords, please present ideas to integrate them into the Empire." you tell them.

For a few seconds nobody says anything. Then several nobles begin to express their discontent.

>"My queen, integrated these savages? They can't even read. " say a bald one.

>"It's true, no need to integrate them, we could simply launch a campaign of subjugation, and make them slaves." add a fat one.

>"We should have done this a long time ago. this will give us abundant labor at a lower cost, and the farmers will be able to spend more time in the fields." continue a bearded noble.

>"Everyone, what you want is a war, we just got out of a bloody one, and you want to start another ?" say a young noble.

>"They are a plague. The ones who don't hide, raid caravans and isolated villages." reply the fat noble.

>"The number of people who die of non-humans attack is considerably lower than that of people who die because of criminality. Could it be necessary to reform the law justice, before thinking about exterminating whole races ?" say the young noble with a smug smile.

>"We know how to manage the laws on our land. Son't insult me, boy." reply the bald noble.

>"ENOUGH !" you shout.

Everyone shut up and look at you.

>"We can't afford to worry about them while we have a looming war. I want every single one of you to determine which races are on your lands, determine which are the most 'civil', and offer 'non-aggression' pacts. No more indiscriminate killings." you declare with a angry voice.

>"But my queen, what if they are the ones attacking ?" ask the bearded noble.

>"If they engage in open hostilities, of course you are free to defend yourself and your property, you hear me ? Defend."

>"Yes your Highness." they reply, bowing.

>"And if any of you feel more ambitious, why won't you negotiate with those non-human groups, for trade agreements ?"

>"I'll do it" say the young noble " the house of Morebarr will be more than happy to trade with the tribes and groups of non-humans."

>"I thank you, sir Morebarr. You have my blessing, and my full support to start your mission." you tell him with a smile.

All the nobles bow to you and exit the room.

-The nobles have agreed to stop hostile actions against non-humans, they will list the territories of different groups. The Morebarr House has agreed to establish trade agreements with the tribes.

You work this week to prepare diplomatic talks with the non-humans, what they eat, if they have any special need. Translators are also called, just in case.
You will receive them in the great hall. A big table is installed, and your trone will be put at the end of the table. The Young Morebarr has volunteered to participate in the negotiations, so he can accomplish his trade mission more easily.
The nobles thy sends the locations of known tribes and groups. Of course, there are also many non-humans scattered throughout the empire.

Finally, during the week, you are told that a large group of non-humans are approaching the city. You send messengers to meet them. They are indeed the leaders of the non-humans.

they enter the castle and you welcome them.

> "I salute you, tribal chiefs, group leaders, representatives of the various non-human races. I'm happy to finally meet you, I invite you to take a seat, we have a lot to talk about. If you want, snacks and drinks can be brought to you Let us officially start this meeting."

They seem surprised by your hospitality. They should not be used to being treated well. Each in turn, they sit around the table. Satisfied, you introduce the young nobleman sitting on the other side of the table.

>"This young man is Sebastian Morebarr. He's going to take part in this talk, as a witness for the nobles, and to help establish futures trade agreements with you." you tell them.

Now they look at you as if you just told them it can snow in hell. Never before they were promised the hope of trade. Now they seem wary of you.

Every races is present. They look at you suspiciously, and are waiting for you to explain what you want to do. What do you say to them ?

>>2883529
To grant their races land to themselves, aid them in building city's for their people in exchange for peace with and service for the empire.
Each male to serve one tenth of their life in civil service, or a sixtieth in military service. With the right to call a draft of up to every third male in times of war.
Plus charging taxes and instated their tribal chiefs and group leaders as Demi human nobles.

>>2883529
i wish to integrate all of you into the empire and give you citizenship but the nobles dont want that so we will start small with non-aggression' pacts, no more indiscriminate killings and no more slavery of any kind and trade agreements in return i expect loyalty

>>2883529
"As you may have noticed, attacks against your people have gone down in the recent week. This is because I have issued a decree banning the subjugation and assault against demi-humans throughout the realm. Nobles have been ordered not to infringe on your lands and have also been encourage to offer trade. You have been called here to formalize the boundaries and territories of your tribes, so that disputes over land do not become an issue. A new set of Apartments will be constructed in the Noble Quarter for Chiefs and Representatives of your people to stay while visiting on business or otherwise. In return, however, you will be expected to fill the ranks of His Imperial Highness' Royal Army, as well as seek jobs outside of your lands to encourage integration and improve the infrastructure of The Empire. Your Laws and Traditions will be formalized so that any crime on your lands can be punished with full impunity, except when crimes committed by Citizens against other Citizens happen upon your lands, or when a tribe member commits crime against Royalty. These rights will be affirmed and codified into the Imperial Law so there will be no misunderstandings. Those that accept these terms will kneel before me and kiss my ring, then pledge their fealty to Myself, The Dark Queen, Empress Freya Godblood of The Dracks Empire, and His Imperial Highness, The Dread Lord, Lazarus Drack of The Dracks Empire."
Now wait patiently for them to get the message and pledge fealty. Then, get down to work.

>>2883529
The empire of Lazarus Drack desires unity within its borders, and we prefer for cooperation, rather than subjugation. Serve the emperor and gain boons for your service, be it glory, wealth, or safety for you and your kin. Resist, and be crushed beneath his boot.

>>2883529
Our Empire can't afford to have enemies within its own borders. I want to begin steps to create peace and cooperation between the humans and you. If our armies fall and enemies invade all of us will be in harm's way and will suffer greatly. As the Empress I have a responsibility to all who live within my borders, that responsibility and protection will be extended to you if you are prepared to work to earn it.

>>2883552
I feel lie this passage
>as well as seek jobs outside of your lands to encourage integration
Will just increase the odds of civil unrest and uprisings.

>>2883557
Okay, we can get rid of it and promote it later. There will be Civil unrest and uprisings regardless, but I guess you have a point. I was thinking more for them to do like, manual labor stuff like building the fucking roads and repairing the cities, to show they do nice things for humies.

>>2883552
this is a little too much too fast something like this needs to happen slowly or we are lucky if we only get cival unrest and not a civalwar

>>2883560
Only the demi-humans working would be too fast. This is typical Empire shit. You want to be soft, not giving them full rights and encouraging them to generally keep to themselves, while telling the Nobles to do wahte the fuck you tell them and don't fuck with them anymore. It's good cuz we still have a big army and they're still fucked up, so they're more likely to accept and then later just go with it as demi-humans prove themselves to be not all bad.

>>2883552
Man you're doing everything at once. one step at a time.

If they agree to civil and military service the crown will officially respect their territories and protect them to the full extent of the law.

>>2883565
>>2883557
>>2883560
I'm hardly doing everything at once, all I said in fancy talk is, 'you have official lands and are at peace/inside the empire. you can have apartments here so you don't get fucked up if you want to represent yourself or whatever. serve in the army.' That's all I fucking said there, except in le official diplomacy court speech.

>>2883572
Dude you offered to formalize their laws without even reviewing them. What if they have laws that mandate that you only become an adult if you eat 10 human babies?

You did more than give them apartments

>>2883576
Well obviously you can't do that, I didn't realize this was baby amateur hour. I clearly stated we're not enemies any longer, so eating humans would be counter intuitive. Dictating everything they do would be too far, dude, as you are concerned about.

>>2883572
yeah what >>2883576 said you just give them everthing for basically nothing and that's the worst deal in history of the empire

>>2883581
You people are retarded or something. The point is they're being enslaved and attacking almost everybody that comes near, being a menace. Also, they're giving their power to the Army and trading valuable resources they have.

>>2883552
>>2883545
>>2883529
Okay, I totally forgot to add Taxes. Put Taxes in there somewhere.

>>2883583
dude everbody wants to give them rights but slowly and not everthing in "ONE" push we dont even know if they know honor and loyalty

>>2883586
I didn't give them everything you utter retard, they weren't forced to accept mass amounts of humans be forced to accept our culture and live under our law and come into our cities. I let them stay where they are and stop being attacked and enslaved in exchange for Taxes and Soldiers. What would we do, just let them live within our borders as separate nations? They would be ripe for picking by Hagendorf. Besides, those that don't pledge fealty will be btfo until they do.

>>2883586
Besides, this is a Quest. We can totally edit some stuff to make it nice for QM. I just think you are grossly misrepresenting what I've wrote.

>>2883589
I mean, isnt "seperate state that exists but gives taxes and soldiers" basically what a vassal is?
We're a feudal society. Every landed lord has their own little pocket country where they decide the litle stuff. Look at mom and dad. I imagine most of their laws are still in place.

>>2883594
Yes, they would literally be vassals of The Empire, they just wouldn't be full citizens with full Imperial Rights.

>>2883594
>>2883595
Could just tell them they have the choice to become vassals with all it entails and we'll work out the details as we go. It's essentially what we're all pulling for, anyway.

Much better than a big spiel about laws

>>2883599
Yeah, but then Nobles get pissed. We have to find a middle ground to integrate them in, and I think what I posted was breddy decent.

>>2883601
We could also use the opportunity to foster some loyalty in us, freya godsblood, rather than the throne or the emperor. We need our own friends.

>>2883607
That is why I put swear fealty to us first.

>>2883607
he told em to swear to us, not to the crown

>>2883608
>>2883609
True, true.

>>2883608
>>2883609
i can live with that

I also give you the rights to your territories. You will be able to live and prosper without any hindrance. in return i expect loyalty.

>"Why would you do something like that for us, you don't know us and our struggled." say a troll, it look like this one speak your language.

>"Because I want unity, and loyalty. Our Empire can't afford to have enemies within its own borders. I want to begin steps to create peace and cooperation between the humans and you. If our armies fall and enemies invade all of us will be in harm's way and will suffer greatly. As the Empress I have a responsibility to all who live within my borders, that responsibility and protection will be extended to you if you are prepared to work to earn it."

>"And what tells us that you're not just going to use us as a shield against your enemies ?" add a gnoll

>"The empire of Lazarus Drack desires unity within its borders, and we prefer for cooperation, rather than subjugation. Serve the emperor and gain boons for your service, be it glory, wealth, or safety for you and your kin. You have been called here to formalize the boundaries and territories of your tribes, so that disputes over land do not become an issue. In exchange. I want you to swear to me."

The chiefs discuss, whispering to each others. It seems that they are interested in your offer.

> "Can you tell us more about what you want, and what do you give?" ask a kobold

>"You will effectively become my vassals. Your territories will be yours by rights of loyalty. You Will be able to enact your laws and traditions on your lands so any crime can be punished with full impunity, except when crimes committed by Citizens against other Citizens happen upon your lands, or when a tribe member commits crime against Royalty. These rights will be affirmed and codified into the Imperial Law so there will be no misunderstandings. I'll also encourage merchants and noble to offer trade." you tell them

>"This is really interesting for us, too interesting in fact. What do you expect for us ?" ask a gnoll.

>>2883723
The same things i expect from the humans. Loyalty. Diligence. Compliance.

>>2883723
i expect loyalty, obedient and that you will help us with royal building projects as the Kings road and the Royal academy for science and war tactics/strategies if the university is finished even you non-humans may study ther and if you become a renown general even a ratman may lead a army of 100.000 man

>>2883723
Loyalty. Diligence. Compliance, growth and of course bodys durning a time of war and mybe helping out with some programs/ things i have going eg. Road work, finding things and killing unwanted animals and undead

>>2883795
Itl be a long time beofr humans will let a ratman lead them.
But itl give them more things to learn and think then they normal would be.
Though for the starting years there going to get so much shit

>>2884062
its more like a bone a dog can pursue something that could perhaps happen someday something that makes them think that if that is possible what else

>>2884111
I would think that the ratman would lead ratman as itl be easyer knowing how they work the best and not having to worry about humans and nobles couseing issues.
Ratman can leading in the empires name though itl probs be a ratman army

>"I expect loyalty, obedience, diligence, compliance, growth and of course bodys durning a time of war. Each male will have to serve for a duration of a sixtieth of the lifespan of his race in military service, with the right to call a draft of up to a third of the males in times of war. You're also expected to help improve the infrastructure of The Empire, such as the Kings road and the Royal academy for science and war tactics/strategies. if the university is finished even you non-humans may study there. You will send as many workers as you want, and you'll get rewarded for it, in ressources, food, tools or money. Those that accept these terms will kneel before me and kiss my ring, then pledge their fealty to Myself, The Dark Queen, Empress Freya of The Dracks Empire, and His Imperial Highness, The Dread Lord, Lazarus Drack of The Dracks Empire."

The non-humans leaders look at you in silence. You support their gazes, and it lasts for a few minutes. Then a troll get up and walk up to you. Guards begin to move, but you waved them away. The troll look at you straight in the eyes.

>"You're giving us lot, but what you ask in return could be confused with slavery, if you don't keep your words. The trolls will accept and swear loyalty to you, Empress Freya. But if you ever try to cross us, it will end in blood."

>"I give you my word, I will respect my commitments to your people, as long as you respect yours." You reply, looking at the troll in the eyes too.

After some second, the troll bow to you.

>"Then, the Trolls swear eternal loyalty to you, and the Drack Empire."

>"The Koblod Tribes also swear enternal loyalty . . ."

>"The Gnoll Tribes . . . ."

>"The Ogre . . . "

All in all, the various non-humans groups and tribes have sworn to serve you, and to respect the proposed agreements, if you do the same. You'll need to send messages to the noble and administrative manager throughout the empire. But you have just secured the inside of your realm, for now. The new "manpower" will be very useful in the future.

Do you wish to give this law a name ?

>>2884418
Demihuman Pact?

>>2884638
sure. why not.

>>2884418
The Demihuman Accords.

>>2884418
Did the undead swear loyalty?

>>2884744
Thats a differnt thing all together.
And no they didnt.

>>2884744
There is no undead "tribe", and no undead was present at the meeting.
I explained here
>>2881962
That the undead live usually as hermit, and no one really know if they have a gathering spot.

>>2884418
The Demihuman Accords like >>2884724 suggested
than bring in Shelur and let her tell them what we think of slavery

>>2885893
This is not a bad idea.

You officially name this law The Demihuman Accords. Scribes write details on parchments, and you impose your signature.

>"Before you leave, I would like you to meet someone." you tell them.

You send a guard to get Shelur. After some minutesn He bring her to you. She take a knee when she's in front of you.

>"Queen. What Me can do to help ?" she ask.

>"I want you to tell the chief what I personnaly think of slavery. You know what I did, and I think you're the best person to talk about it." you say.

The orc nod, and turn to look at the leaders of the tribes.

>"Queen right. Me former slave, me sold like meat on market. But Queen freed me, and Queen freed all slaves in city. She Chains-Breaker. She hate slavery. If you follow Queen, you rewarded, you protected. If you obey, Queen never let you be slaves again." she tell them.

The leaders look at each other. If an orc, a rare creature un the north, follow the empress, then they may have a reason to try and trust you for now.

After every chief signed the parchment, they bow to you, and go back to their peoples.

You spend your free time holding courts and listening to petitions. You meet the representative of the peasants and the merchants.
Look like the situation is quite dire. The villages manages to scrap by, But there is a shortage of food in the cities. Ordarmark's food surplus won't last forever. The merchants want to establish trades with Hagëndorff empire. Even if the tensions are high, it look like they aren't stoping caravans to the north.

You didn't put anything under the scheduled to do time slots, is that cuz we have to pick now or did you just fuck up?

>>2886288
We need to send out kill teams to get rid of the zombies

See if we can trade for food with the demis, but also pick up trade with the south. No caravan guards may be followers of the light or the black moon. Chances are they'll defect or start hostilities.

We need to meet with other priests and followers of the moon so we can scope out the religion and find ways to hinder its spread.

Send Dillon to find out what other followers of light think about the other religions.

Would putting in a request for our merchant liaison with the demi humans to see about having the Demi humans hunt extra good in exchange for whatever be considered work or social?

If we can get them to assist in food production, we might be able to increase our food stores for when war comes. Of course we don't expect it to come free. Find out what we can afford to bargain with.

>>2886337
Work is if you want thing to be done. Like This is an order from the empress.

You decide to take care of the zombie problem, you call the generals and asks for a volunteer. The mohawk general move foward you thank him and you ask him to prepare kill teams to get rid of the zombies. You tell him that depending on the risk they pose, he should consider having the newer troops use the sweep and clear missions as extra training. He accept his mission and tell you he's going to bring 1000 infantry and 5000 recruits with him. You give him your blessing, and he salute you before leaving.

>New project : Zombies extermination : 4 weeks (1000 Inf, 5000 Rec)

You also talk to your dear and loving husband about the merchants, who want to re-establish trade with Hagëndorff Empire. You explain that if pick up trade with the south, it'll help the food problem. You also tell him that, to avoid problems, no caravan guards may be followers of the light or the black moon. Chances are they'll defect or start hostilities. Your husband start to think about it. After some minutes, He tell you that it could be an opportunity. If you show Hagëndorff that you do not wish to start hostilities, you may win some times. He accept but tell you to only allow trade of food for tools and other commodities, no weapons.

You start putting in a request for our merchant liaison with the non-humans to see if they could hunt extra good in exchange. You ask the young noble Sebastian to help with establishing a trade network with cities and non-humans territories. You explain to him that if we can get them to assist in food production, we could deal with the food problem. We might even be able to increase our food stores for when war comes. You ask him to find out what we can afford to bargain with.

In your social time you decide to meet with priests and followers of the Black Moon, so you can find out more about the religion, and maybe find ways to hinder its spread. But you keep that to yourself. In the meantime you send Dillon to find out what the followers of the Light think about the other religions. You don't want a religious conflict now.

The Extermination of the zombies around the capitale is going very well. Soldiers act in groups of 6, with 1 infantry commanding 5 recruits. No loss is reported, The zombies being slow and stupid, following their hunger. It is easy to eliminate them in small groups, or trap them and kill them with spears. Some soldiers joke that it is more of an excursion than a military mission, but their superiors make them focus on their task. The general think that he'll finish his assignments a week earlier, if things go on like this.

With the help of several guilds of merchants, you restore trade with the south. You indicate that the priority is to buy food, and that exchanges should exclude weapons. the merchants accept, and during the week, many caravans go south. This will stabilize the need for food. You ask a merchant to bring you maps, You specify maps of the continent and empires. It seems that Hagendorff isn't taking any hostile actions against caravans, but just in case, there is no Light or Black Moon worshipper among the guards.

>The need for food has been stabilised. But ther is still a shortage in some cities.

With the help of Sebastian Morebarr, you ask the tribes if they are willing to help with food production, and of course they will be rewarded. The tribes ask fo tools and ressources to help survives winter. Caravans are sent with resources and the tribes send us food. Those are not much, but that, in addition to the caravans of the South, Lets solve the problem of food. There will be no famine, and the population will be able to survive the winter.

Dillon managed to find out what the followers of the Light think about the other religions. This boy really know how to talk with people, even if he seem over enthusiastic at time.
The followers of the Light think The Black Moon is a false god, nothing more than a mortal who gained too much power, and started to think of himself as a god. They don't deny his powers, but they think he's greedy, drunk on power, and so, evil.
They thin the worship of the Gods of the north is just how peole saw the light before, but now we nknow the truth, so they must learn and worship the Light. They don't have any problems with them, but they'll try to talk to them about the light, in a nice way.

You organized a meeting with some priests of the Black Moon. They arrive in the afternoon, and you receive them with a smile. You discuss around a meal, rather simple, according to the request of the priests. You learn that the religion is very simple. Worship the Black Moon, worship Kazeel Thorn, and your prayers will be answered. There is no hell, ther is no heaven, only the reality, only the Black Moon. You just live your life to the fullest, you just need to whorship.

The hierarchy is similar to the Church of the Light, priest, Bishop, High Priests, Cardinal, Archpriest, and finally the Black Moon.

This is rather simple, You don't know if that why people follow this religion, but you can't deny the fact that more and more people start to convert.

Do you wish to ask something ? Or just skip to free time and next week ?

>"Pardon me, but I have some questions about master Thorn. Perhaps you can answer them ?" you ask a priest.

>"But of course, my queen, ask away."

>"What does the Black Moon want after having defeated Hagëndorff ?" you ask.

>"Our master want nothing more than the spreading of the faith, he want to have his message to be heard, everyone should forget the gods, the light, heaven and hell, and stay focused on this world." he explain.

>"I understand. Maybe you can tell me where he's from ? I know nothing of him." you tell him.

>"Unfortunately, I can't answer, because I don't know myself. No one really know. And we don't think it's important. Only who he is now matter." say the priest.

>"Right, of course, so you don't know if he had a family ?" you ask.

>"Well actually, it is said he had a father, but no one know who, and he never told anyone." he finish.

You drink your wine, the more you learn about Kazeen Thorn, the more mysterious you think he is.

You spend your free time reading the last chapter of your book on magic.

-Once the wizard has unlocked his powers, he is also responsible for the task of cultivating and controlling them. Magic is an unstable thing and even the greatest can make mistakes. What is important is self-control. Magic must be like a faithful dog, a companion and a friend. But you need to alway stay the master, or it will bite you.
One of the best ways to train is to visualize your will and to project it, in a constant way, as long as possible. For example, imagine a river and let your power flow out of you. Imagine a block of stone, and harden your power. The only limit is your body, and your imagination.

You now know the way to exploit your magic powers.

Centaurs live in unclaimed lands. So I dont think so.

>>2887194
Ah, you're right. I was worried that someone might ally with Hagendorf and invade from there, so it would be good to get them to at least sign a NaP. I believe that's Arid/Desert land, they might have some special resources though, that they would be willing to trade for Food from us. We can use the Resources to enrich our Empire and invest in better food production capabilities and offset it.

begin with the construction of the kings road with 100.000 man of the army and the demi-humans

>>2887194
didnt the centauers become a vassal of us ?

>>2887855
Noop they wornt there.
As they are outside our borders

>>2887132
We should really move our capital, the Keep is nice but super far away from the actually production areas of our Empire and lacks connection to any important trade routes.

>>2887899
but we have around Centaurs 130.000 loyal citizens and if the rest in the desert are not we sould go to vassel the rest of the centauer and expand the empire

>>2887218
First off we need to completely slash our recruitment of men into our armed forces, you simply cannot have 1/4 of your population in the army at a time. I suggest we cut our current numbers by a huge amount.

100,000 infantry (standard equipment)
50,000 archers (standard equipment)
10,000 Cavalry (light & heavy)
25,000 heavy knights (shock troop)
666 demons.

Total: 185,000

Among the men dismissed we should raise those with the greatest achievements creating new fiefdoms (marked in yellow on the map) and to the normal men granting them farmland in these areas or a simple monetary reward.

Secondly we should encourage our new demi-human subjects to migrate to more favourable areas in the Kingdom allowing them to farm and grow in population. (Marked in red)

Thirdly the creation of three key forts to defend our Kingdom from any Western invasion. (Marked as hexagons on the map)

Fourthly we should use these recruits to form a labor corps along with any giants we can recruit to build a proper Imperial Capital. Drack’s Keep is much to isolated, lacks a port and has no real advantages. I marked a new star for where I believe a better location to build a new city is located.

Fifthly we should completely halt this road project, we lack the resources and time for it. We are blessed with many rivers for trade and should work on encouraging that over simply building roads. The Romans had a stable empire when they built their network, we can barely feed ourselves.

Lastly we should invite Emissaries of the Empire to talk about their intentions and try to create amiable relations.

>>2887999
yeah, it doesn't even have river access, and all the food has to imported. We should move it to the city just north of the western border mountains. The one with the huge veriety of crops growing near it.
That also gets us river access, so things can get to and from the city decently quickly.

>>2888059

>>2888059
your ideas are pretty good. However I have to disagree about where you want to put the new capital. That's currently an undeveloped river delta, so we'd have to do a lot of infrastructure work to allow it to support a huge castle. That would also prevent us from accessing the natural resources delta's generally have.

Instead of starting scratch, we already have a developed city to the south west. we should built the castle there. nearby to the city at least. It would also bring us closer to already established tradespeople and artisans, and an actual port, so getting labourers and other workers would be easier.

>>2888089
A capital isn't a fortress, it's simply a place to hold court and administrate from. An underdeveloped river delta is an area that can be transformed into rich farmland to support a growing city. The location is also fairly close to another city which we can draw labor and artisans from. Plus actually building our own city allows us to be free from pesky nobles who already own the area.

>>2888059
first your army plan i would say we send them on a leave for the time being and have with that local foreces agast bandits and workforces for the farming and road building

Secound sounds good if the nobels will allow it we can in encourage it with the money they perhaps make with the new and better trading

Third sounds good but 185.000 is not enough for that like our husband and generals said our current army is to small for a war and lowering the numbers is a problem

Fourthly like i said in number one make multiple recrutiren areas which provided us with new recuits and laber force

Fifthly if we dont have the workforce for the roads a new Capital is out of the question

>>2888103
If we want to hold court, we need all the trappings and luxuries nobles would need. Easier to do if we're near an already established city. It's also less work as all the periphery stuff doesn't need to be established.
Where there are nobles we need servants, painters, jewlers, tailors, whores. Those people would need carpenters, bakers, smiths and cobblers. wherever we hold court needs to be a city to begin with, not in the butt end of the wilderness.

>>2888111
Our kingdom couldn't handle any war really, a city is way easier to make then a vast road network that connects a ton of sparse settlements.

An army can be raised while they enemy invades, we are like Russia, we have a ton of land we can lose before they actually hit our core territory.

>>2888119
We control the Empire, those things will naturally come to us as we build a city. People want to be near the seat of power.

>>2888121
than lets for now turn the kings road a little down and only connet the big citys for now

>>2888135
in the old map>>2881800 it had a river realy makes you think

>>2888123
Someone has to pay for the carpenters and masons to go out into the assfuck of nowhere to start the ball rolling. and that's money the empire can better use elsewhere. Best to put the capital where the people are, and develop the delta for it's resources later.

>>2888150
That is true, simply choosing the biggest city is the best then.

I think we need QM to give us more information. The problem is the land we conquered already have established medieval tier kingdoms. We don't know which Kings Lazarus killed and which cities and fiefdoms he took for his own. Kings often had more than one capital, like with Rome and Constantinople for a famous example, so I suppose having a Western capital, probably the one by the lake in the southwest since it's closer to the border, but again, I think we should get QM to clarify.

>>2888230
Rome was the capital of the west roman empire and Constantinople was the capital of the eastern roman empire which became the Byzantine Empire both empires only had one capital

>>2888111
>>2888059
I think that, rather than drop all those soldiers, we reorganize the army a bit so they can work as either levies or be situated in certain regions where they can own land and such. Most of the population hates demihumans, so we shouldn't force them too quickly or it will cause rebellion.
>>2888240
Later on, but for a time Constantinople was the Eastern Capital as it was in a very strategic position and was closer to the eastern front. I will admit it's not the most accurate example cuz Constantinople usually had a coemperor ruling it, but many medieval kingdoms had traveling courts or two different capitals where they would move between during certain periods.

if that is if we make a secend capital it sould be this one and i think we sould wait a little with moving to the "new" secend capital

>>2888269
Again, we should wait for QM to confirm which Royal families are still alive and rule what land. Simply turning a city into our new second capital is entirely preferable to building a new city.

Drack keep is too isolated and out of the way to be a capital. Any disloyal vassals will simply not march there if we are attacked and we lose. The end.

>>2888445
Also, I think you should make a river branch going by Ordamark Capital. Make it a canal.

-You send a diplomatic message to the centaurs of the east, asking for a meeting between you and their leaders. You explain that you want to negotiate a mutual defense pact. he leaders accept, and towards the end of the week, a group of centaurs arrive in Drack's Keep. You greet them with a smile, and some foods. You explain to them that you are thinking about a mutual defense pact with them. You will guarantee the sovereignty of their lands, and you will provide them with help with trade. In exchange They will also defend you in case an army try to go throught their lands. At the prospect of war and wealth, the centaurs are quick to accept. They seem to think this is a better deal for them, since no one is foolish enough to move an army in the desert, So they'll be able to relax and amass ressources. You make them pledge loyalty to you, and now yo have a lot of centaurs waiting for your orders.

He now use the females and kids as cheap labours, Explaining they are in indentured servitudes. He said he'll be able to pay the taxes next month, with interest. The human population seem to support the lord words. And something more worrying, a scout saw a lot of constructions around the noble castle, those look like additional fortifications.

-You send scouts to meet the knights of the Light in the south. when they meet them, they explain that they are in these lands to purge monsters and other heretics, those who are against the light. The scouts explain your proposal, with politeness, and the knights accept, and head north, to purge and clear the dead lands of Thoreric.

-You explain to your husband your desire to change the capital. You explain to him the advantages compared to Drack's Keep. You show him the city near the lake of the west, and expose your will to make it a seat of power and exchange for the empire. He gladly accepts, but asks that Drack's Keep remain an important place.

-You encourage your new non-human subjects to migrate to more favorable lands, they will be able to more easily establish a sustainable agriculture and increase their populations. They accept happily, glad they can stop hiding in forest or mountains. With this, they also promise more trades to your empire.

-You also sent peole to look into the past and activities of the Morebarr house, To learn more abou their fortunes and motivations. The men find nothing out of the ordinary, They were an average noble house. They made their fortune with trade, and now they fund guilds of merchants, artists, and invest judiciously in agriculture. With the end of the war, their income has tripled, and they also pay triple tax, of their own free will. They also seem highly benevolent toward the non-humans.

You ask for a meeting with emissaries from the Hagëndorff empire. In the last days of the weeks, A groups of men in red and gold armors arrive in the castle. They seem suspicious of you. You invite them to take a seat in a meeting room, and you start explaining that you want your empire to have amiable relations with the emperor Hagëndorff. The emissaries chuckle at you. They didn't think the wife of a bloody demonic conqueror would want peace talk. They explain that the Emperro have his eyes upon the north, to restore the ancestral crowns of the north. But he's willing to listen if you can follow these demands :

-Your army must not exceed 700,000 men
-Every 3 month you'll pay up to 2 ressources and 1 finances as taxes.
-You will let the Order of the Light create missions in the north to convert the population.
-You will outlaw the cult of the Black Moon.
-You will exile half of the non-human population to the east or the north
-You will follow the Imperial law.
-If you want to make a law, you'll have to send it to be reviewed by a council in the empire.

i asked you for a peace treaty and you insult me with such a offer

as for the disloyal nobel we should ask for Morebarr to take care of him with the help of 1-2 generals and demi-humans for justice and after that we should create a council with 1-2 passents 3-5 nobels and 1 representative of each demi-human Spezies so something like this never happend again so if problems emerge they will deal with it in the council and free our hands for important stuff

With regards to this noble. Send the armies to his castle and tear it down. Kill him and install a more cooperative member of his family. We must set a strong example to those who seek to bend the law. Keep a battalion there to support the Demihumans until the Male children mature enough to take on leadership positions. This may also lead to cohabitation with the Mothers and the Soldiers there, increasing the assimilation process.

I think we shouldn't make a council yet. I agree that perhaps we should make an investigatory division that checks this stuff out and reports it to us. Then, we can make direct response and set the example. We should have direct control of this for awhile, until things settle down a bit, otherwise, bribery and corruption happens quick in response.

>>2893151
lets only kill 2/5 of the guards the rest gets shitty guardduty post for the future

>>2893175
Well, that's why I said those who were put on Guard Duty of the Demihuman Servants. They would prob be more malicious and trustworthy by the noble, meaning rude boys.

>>2893174
i think this very incident justifies the council to the nobels, the demi-humans see that we try that something like that not happend again and the pasent gets a voice only the nobels will cry and we can point at what happend and say well you guys fucked up big time in your first month I give you ORDERS not to do stuff like this and what did you do the exact same thing i wanted you not to do

>>2893197
Dude, you don't understand. There WILL be bribery if you make a council and give thme power. Right now most of them fucking hate demihumans. We have to FORCE them to like or at least tolerate them, showing their industry capabilities as incentive for being peaceful with them. We can install a council later when things are running smoothly and we don't have to babysit them. I think what I suggested, which is some sort of investigatory and/or disciplinary division of the government that go around the country and see how all the demihuman groups are doing and how they're getting along with the local nobles and peasants. If you give them an inch, they'll take a yard.

You look at the emissaries for some time, tehn you laugh at their faces. The look at each other then at you.

>"Is there something funny ?" one ask.

>"Everything you just said." you reply, while laughing. "I asked you for peace treaty and you insult me with such a offer. I did a lot of thing to help my subjects, ALL my subjects ! And you, you come in my castle, and you insult me, my husband, and the people of the north. I had enough of this. GUARDS ! You can escort those men out of the castle. And send them back immediately, with an armed escort directly to the border." you say

>"We accept your decision, and we are sad you refuse to see reason. But let me tell you this. Our great Emperor have a lot of things to worry about, and you and your husband aren't even in the top 10. You don't even deserve the full might of his wrath. Enjoy your little kingdom, because sooner or later, he'll set his eyes on you and when this happen, nothing will stop his armies. You should have accepted the terms, o Dark Queen of the North." one of them say.

And they leave like that, you smile slightly when you can see them getting angry as they are escorted by a group of guards. Look like the negociations broke down.

You spend your free time riding with your husband and your friends on the country side and forests around Drack's Keep. This is really nice. Even if the weather is a little cool, it makes you feel good to go out a bit. You pick wild fruits with Silviana, you talk with Irene, you race with Shelur, you joke with Dillon and Ruriska. You notice that these two look more comfortable with each others now. And more than once, your husband suggested that the two of you should go alone, and maybe spend some "quality time" together, looking at the beauty of the forest. You reject him playfully, calling him a pervert, anf telling him that he should wait for the comfort of the bedroom, and you'll show him something more beautiful.

You also write a letter to your parents, telling them that you are fine, everything is well here. You did a lot of thing to help the people, and the non-human too, because you think everyone deserve a chance. You explain your coronation, your new friends, the fun you have with them. You also tell them about the work you have to do, sometime it's difficult. But you will keep doing it with everything you have, because you believe this is the right thing to do. You attach the message to a falcon, and he fly to Ordamark. You can't wait to read the reply of you parents.

You spend some of your free time practicing your magic. You try to focus on a howling storm, But for now everything you can do isprojecting a cloud of freezing ice in front of you, and you can't maintain it for too long. But you make progress, and now, in addition with you devouring cold darkness, you have a freezing mist of ice.

You also think about redecorating the castle. Your husband don't have any taste in decorating. Everything is either basic, or with a lot of black and crimsom. You have several ideas. Of course, you have to pay with your money.
(The decoration is actually : Black stone/Dark Lord )

>Something Wealthy (white marble and gold /Roman look) 500 000 gold
>Something Baroque (Stone and stained glass /Cathedral look) 500 000 gold
>Something Militaristic (Metal and Stone/ Barad-dur) 500 000 gold
>Other (write in) ??? gold

>>2893394
Something imposing, yet beautiful(Stone and Stained Glass/Gothic Look) 500,000 gold

>>2893394
redecoraten is a little to expensive for now
