Thirdly is the arrival of a newly minted lord Xali Armenos and her “good” bird-like Beastma, Brutus of the Dawnlight Knights. He claims to be a noble knight of Erulia twisted by the foul magics of the Everwood but has regained his sanity even though his mind is twisted. He wishes to fight on the side of justice offering to swear an oath of fealty to the Emperor!
>A. Kill the monster! It is clearly a spy!
>B. Imprison the monster! Maybe we can learn more from it through torture.
>C. Trust the monster, the world is full of wonders after all.

Fourthly the Iron Kingdom has opened up the port of Karlsgard for trade with the Thleech family. The Emperor has expressed worry at the idea of trading with a state that has invaded the Wine-Dark Empire several times and seeks the councils thoughts of this issue. The Iron Kingdom most valuable exports to the Empire are cheese, furs and liquor.
>A. Let the Thleech enjoy their monopoly, any trade is good trade.
>B. Force the Thleech’s to give up their monopoly, all trade should be free.
>C. Outlaw trade with the Iron Kingdom, those savages will have none of our gold!

The fifth issue is the city of Yoral, it seems the entire population of the city has simply vanished into the night with only a few piles of gnawed bones being left as clues. Many put the blame on the Hunter God that is supposed to lurk beneath the island with many blaming the Shinebringer family for waking it from its slumber.
>A. Help resettle and rebuild the city, surely this will not happen again!
>B. Send a legion in and help rebuild the city, surely that will be enough.
>C. Leave the cursed place alone, only when the Hunter is dead should it be rebuilt.

The sixth and final issue is the strangest of them all, it seems the Bone-Eater pygmies have declared a Holy Tide upon the Eagle Princedom for murdering the Great Stingray, a servant of Galoris! The Pygmies have already begun to launch raids into eagle territories disrupting trade, cannibalizing the locals and burning anything they can get their little hands on! The Eagle Prince asks for your aid in dealing with them as the Eagle Armada was completely captured by you in the last war and has yet to be rebuilt.
>A. Reign in the Bone-Eater Khandom
>B. Let things run their course, as Galoris wills it.

The Yoresh Clan will be providing tax incentives to smiths that come to Olamir or Karishold, as well as giving them a small start up bonus as further incentive to settle in my lands.

I will be giving enormous tax breaks and a home in the plains of Olamir and Karishold for the Tevian Khans (and their men) who choose to swear themselves to my service (bonus if they have winged wolves)

I will also personally pay a man's weight in gold to anyone who can prove that they know how to construct titans and see if they can help us construct a titan. (This is unlikely but on the off chance one appears hey why not.)

The House Neas will accept mostly people that have converted to Galoris. We will not be easily trustful of someone of other religions, especially if it doesn t want to even live under our laws or respect the empire, especially after saving them. And we will remain ever vigilant of them, ready.


To everyone tha comes here, its given the possibility of having a better life accepting the faith of Galoris and imperial traditions.


But Nevitis leave a possibility, a social contract between the groups of Goli and Tev and the citizens of Neas Hope.

They shall have a new home, but they will in print on their families the traditions of House Neas at least. The people that don t want to do so and don t want to forge a new life under the right and good rule of House Neas, will be send to merchant ships that go to Tojo. The captains of this ships will be payed by House Neas for give a decent travel to this families.

If the Social contract is accepted by the ones that stay, but don t want to convert to Galoris, good houses will be made for them... decent ones, but not better than the ones of the people converted.

For the Goli kin a new neighbeourhood will be built, the Tev are offered to stay in part of the forests... but not all of them only the ones approeved by House Neas. Death is the price of transgression. Death.

House Neas will speak with the artisans, merchants, common men and nobles of the city for found a good way to insert this people here.

The only ones that will not have the possibility to remain are the Ifit followers, especially if they are not convert. They wanted to burn our city, we will not be good with them.
>C. Compromise

Seek a union between our faith, speak long with the Stormseer and see what it can be done. Our empire is a good one, but if you want to live here, nothing can be divided. It s must always be unite at least by one thing, if not more.


>C. Trust the monster, the world is full of wonders after all.


We will not trust him easily, Proofs and many oaths need to be given. And we will be ready if betrayal is there.
>A. Let the Thleech enjoy their monopoly, any trade is good trade.

With the condition that, prices will be in part lowered and in some decades free market can begin.


>B. Send a legion in and help rebuild the city, surely that will be enough


We are ready for the hunt, we will kill this demon. No sons and brothers of the empire will be leave harmed, and without vengeance. The creature will pay tenfold.
>C. Support the pygmies and crush the Eagle Princedom!


The Eagle are filth and traitors, whores of a disgusting and horreoundeos deity. We will punish them under our mighty and take their realm !

The priests of the Empire will begin to work on handling the refugees. Kindness has always been the word of Galoris, ever since the days of the conversions of Merli and Ruby island. Conversions will not be forced but the cultures of the refugees will be taken into account and priests will make effort to learn of the cultures of the refugees. Once the priests understand the cultures of the refugees priests will begin preaching to them the words of Galoris taking into consideration their cultural backgrounds.

The priests will also implore the common folk to not turn to violence and lynch mobs. Show them the grace of men who worship Galoris and showcase the benefits of life under Galoris. These men who run from beastmen, our holy enemies, they share a purpose to us. Embrace them, teach them our ways and have them fight by our side against the eternal darkness. They should be seen as potential allies and not mere heretics wanting to exploit the Empire.

C on the Dragonpriest thing. Supporting the Seastorm idea.

>>3679821
Sollus point experiences a rush of refugees from the urban Goli many of who are eager to ply their trades and convert to the local religion for acceptance. However violent attacks have become common as the lower class denizens of your city resent these foreigners for being able to join the middle class while they toil away in the fields and mines.

>>3679828
You manage to attract several wealthy Goli merchant families who invest in your lands and build new villas.

>>3679849
Many of the hardy Tevians make the journey to Dragon's Graveyard seeking to make use of the unclaimed and unexploited pastures there. The more devote of the Goli dragon worshipers settle in the provincial capital which causes quite alot of friction with your Galoris worshiping population.

>>3679884
Dosmir is one of the first stops in the Wine-Dark Sea so you see boatload after boatload of refugees being dropped on your shores. This quickly leads to violence as the xenophobic Dosmiri lash out at these "invaders". The flow of refugees does not seem to be slowly in the slightest and the island draws closer to a war zone with each passing day.

>>3679914
You have to deploy guards to route and beat refugees columns near constantly to keep them from your lands in Bojmor. Some of the more desperate Tevians settle in Western Belinlos on the few non-blighted parts. You are quickly earning yourself the nickname of Randal Thleech the Merciless.

>>3679916
You receive a small amount of skilled refugees that are sure to increase the prosperity of your realm.

>>3679988
You manage to gather many craftsmen to settle in your land but the Tevian Khans will not bow to an "upjumped merchant". As for men who can construct titans, none are found.

>>3679998
The streets of Neas Hope run red with the blood of refugees. Many had come to this place hearing of it's message of hope to the common people only to be met by the hostility of mob violence and xenophobic lynchings. Only through the grace of the Stormseer is the violence eventually calmed but not before thousands lie dead.

>>3680017
Karishold is often referred to as Goldenhold these days for the population has quickly shifted to that of a majority Goli people. They are productive and pay taxes so what more can one really ask.

>>3680065
It is the Stormseer himself who reaches out to the displaced people of the Golden Empire. He throws open the doors of the Temples to offer them sanctuary and empties the churches deep coffers to feed them. The Priests preach till their voices go raw about to both the refugees and the populace at large. It will be a slow process easing the tension of the Empire but with the blessing of Galoris you shall make it so.

he Dragon Religion is allowed the protections of the law if they accept the supremacy of Galoris over all others. There is much contention amongst the Priests but eventually they agree seeing it a preferred alternative to being executed as heathens.The Beastman Brutus is allowed to stay within the Empire but is assigned two Priests to watch over him and ensure no funny business. The Iron Kingdom trade is left in the hands of the Thleech family. Yoral is resettled mainly with refugees and a legion garrisoned there for protection. Lastly the Eagle Princedom is told to solve their own problem and that nothing will be done about the Pygmies.

In other news the Goodthinker’s Horde and the Iceborn have begun to skirmish near their borders.

A has been chosen! As it stand crops yields have been failing year after year on both the islands and continent. The only areas truly unaffected are Dragon's Graveyard and farms newly built on cleared forest ground.

What will you do?

>>3680532
Do the three crop rotation and improve the humus our famrers use.


If they don t try to create it, maybe take it from neignbouring realms

>>3680532
Investigate our farms for any tampering first and foremost. If none found, then investigate soil fertility and work towards restoring their nutrients with crop rotation becoming mandatory and introducing cover crops, and insects/animals beneficial to the soil

>>3680532
The lands may have been over farmed and a rotation of sorts is required? is it possible to plant some farms in fresh lots and give the soil of the old ones a chance to recover? This recovering land can be left for grazing limited animals as they will see to its restoration naturally.

It takes some time but eventually with the help of some Goli farmers you find a solution to your problem! It seems your fields have been running out of nutrients after being worked so hard for many years and by introducing crop rotation and the idea of leaving some fields fallow for years you can solve this problem. The greatest problem facing you however is getting farmers to implement these changes! Word has gotten out that these ideas are an Eastern invention which has caused the old racism to flair up again. After all we have been doing things these ways for years, no eastern is smarter than a Lightwatcher!

In other news the Iceborn and Beastmen have clashed with massive losses on both sides however it seems to be slightly in favor of the Iceborn.

An organziation with schools set up in the major cities of the empire to help provide education for citizens to reach their full potential in fields of education that can help serve the empire, such as training administrators, help in training skilled proffesionals, and reasearch both magical and mundane.

The circles will take in the best and brightest who show the drive to achieve their potential. Being supported by the Seastorm Clan and if successful enough to warrent interest from the Imperial government, The Emperor as well.

It is a time for celebration in the Wine-Dark Empire as Emperor Alexos has announced that his wife Helena Thleech is pregnant. He is also happy to announce the marriage of his elder sister Nuha to Lucan Neas, his young sister Chaya to the Oda Sato of Tojo and his youngest sister to Isal to Azhorius Seastorm.

Schools are built by royal decree all over the Empire with a focus on improving both the general knowledge of the populace and their literacy. The hope is that a more educated populace will be more willing to accept advancements and come up with new innovations. At the moment these schools are purely voluntary and see very little use from the lower class but are full of students from the middle and upper class. Emperor Alexos has also brought forth a massive education and food subsidy tax targeted at the upper class.

In the Starless Sea the Holy Tide against the Eagle Princedom continues with Lord Balat Firestorm joining in to support the Pygmies.

The Nevitis Reforms are passed allowing each Brightlord to choose from a variety of detachments to support their legions in battle. Among these new units the Tevian Winged Wolves Riders are the most happy as they see this as the Empire recognizing their skill and power in battle. This brings the size of each Legion battlegroup to around 2,500 men. The new Field Wardens are also proving very effective at maintaining order among the rank and file along with also helping tend to the spiritual needs of the men. The Emperor’s Guard and Overlord’s Guard are well overdue in their formation with the most elite of your legionaries being recruited into the two groups. The equipment of the Legions are also updated into using steel instead of iron.

Advancements into runecraft are made with the thousands of pieces of looted Belinlos gear proving a basis for new discoveries. The biggest being the idea of intertwining runes to form larger runes for increased efficiency and power. By combining a series of say “Stability” runes to form a larger “Sharpness” rune one can boost both aspects in a blade without requiring more mana, this allows stronger enchantments to be made on near anything that you already craft.

However Soul Bonding has revealed a sinister art, the Soul Drain. Using this perverse ability a mage can forcefully tap into the mana of another soul taking it for this own, this is a dangerous spell for both parties as almost all who are drained die and the user can overextend their own mana as large amounts are needed to "break" into another soul.

>>3681052
New has arrived from the East, the Iceborn have been crushed in a decisive land battle and are now attempting to seek aid from the United Holy Kingdoms.

In the Starless Sea the Eagles have been completely toppled by the Pygmies and Balat Firestorm. The Pygmies are satisfied with their goal and have departed for home with all the loot that entails. Lord Firestorm however is requesting the use of several legions to govern this new territory and help rebuilding the devastated state along with proper annexation.

- War Machines

Six new war machines, needs to be made, start being produced and given to the legions siege detachments.

Naturally there is a good men that could help us in this, Daedelius ... a "thinker" and an "inventor" of sorts. He seems interested in helping the creation of this new war machines. With of course a retribution and some help.


Their arsenal of war machines will double, making them and the legions even deadlier :


- A ballista that launches, multiple small bolts, perfect for deal with large infantry formations and giving to our legionaries more respite.


- A ballista that launches nets, nets made with steel chains and hard cords, with many small heavy spherical steel weights . It will be of great use against great beasts, horrors and demons, or flying creatures.


- A strange war machine, inspired by the so called "rockets" from the east. It will launch multiple of them, creating chaos and confusion in the enemy formations.


- A great cannon, primitive like the "small" ones we have, it's far bigger, heavy and slow. But is size will give us an incredible firepower.


- A greater catapult with a longer arm, it will throw greater rocks than a normal catapults, but much like the great cannons it will be bigger, heavy and slow as well.


- Lastly the strangest and most difficult to use and build war machine, the empire as ever seen. A cart with a series of great and small glasses with sun runes apply to them. The theory is that with the reflession of the sun on them (preferably during a sunny day at midday) and the aid of an expert mage, the glasses would be able after reflecting on each other, to create an intense powerful small light ray able of an incredible destruction and that reaches a long distance. Still it's advisable to build few of this war machines for the legions, do to the circumstances needed for them to work and the dangers of their use.

The largest issues holding back this war is the lack of excess food in your kingdom to feed an army on campaign and the strained negotiations going on between the two rival powers. Currently the UHK are demanding once the war is won that everything south of the Golden River be ceded to them while the Iceborn state that whatever each army takes should be want they gain.

You firmly side with your ally the UHK and the threat of helping attack the Iceborn finally forces them to accept. However on the food front things are slightly more grim, the UHK is deploying a total of 500,000 men to combat the Beastmen menace which is already pushing their economy to the limit. The Iceborn are said to have massive stockpiles of food but are unwilling to sell any to you.

Your fleet eventually arrives in the city of Tojo and you are quickly rushed into a the main castle of the city where the various factions of your coalition are having a meeting. It seems the three sides have not been able to decide upon anything and are still in the middle of squabbling.

As for the Shogun and Emperor, I suggest you two combine hosts aswell and launch an offensive from either Martez or Dong’shi, focusing on taking the plains or the northern river respectively.

The main body will be made to stand, strong invincible warriors of warlord Lin will hold the middle ground as the arms surge around. We will tempt this battle into action, win and then eradicate all the beastmen once they have been broken."

“Fakes? That’s new. Though maybe we can use this to our advantage. Call him out as a coward when facing his hordes to sow descent within their ranks.”

>>3692440
“Our legions will have Goodthinkers head, as long as the iceborn thralls die to give us the opportunity. We know best about how to kill Beastmen, after all. As for the other fronts, perhaps the combined hosts of the Emperor and Shogun should first seek to wipe out the Lord of Plagues? His host is the smallest, likely the ‘easiest’ of the 3, but will become troublesome down the line thanks to his disease that he spreads. If your army wipes out that horde in time, then perhaps you could swing around and hit the horde near Dong’Shi?”

>>3692470
The Emperor speaks up.

"It is a wise idea, take out one of their hosts and hopefully we can rally some of the Tevians."

>>3692471
The Emperor then looks at you.

"A sound enough idea but we do not hold Martez, the Tevian Khans hold it and do not heed my calls for aid."

A stalemate has occurred, the Warlord supports the Overlord Isaacs while the Shogun and Emperor support Brightlord Thleech.

We shall hold a general vote to decide the course of action.

A) Gather all forces to strike at Goodthinker's Horde

B) Send the Emperor and Shogun to break the Horde at Martez while your army and the Warlord deal with Goodthinker's Horde.

You wish the Shogun and Emperor the best of luck as they depart for Martez as you prepare your own ships to take you to the Golden City. On the way to the Golden City you pass the massive Ice Ark city called the Anchorage. The iceberg it sits on top of is bigger then the entirety of Loslina and holds a city of near equal size, the guide given to you by the Iceborn tells you that the entire Ice Ark lies upon the back of The One Below.

The Golden City is equally as impressive if a tad ruined and run down. The streets of the city are line with refuse and slaves working away at making weapons of war. In the time before the Iceborn you would not doubt that this was the most impressive city still left in this world.

It is not till you meet with the marshaled Iceborn army that you begin to feel truly small with the army being the size of near a quarter of the Wine-Dark Empire's population. However many of the men are ill equipped and ill nourished with no common equipment or training among them. The army itself seems to be sub-divided into clan armies lead by their own warlords only loosely commanded by the Grand Warlord.

You begin to march with the Iceborn horde up the River of Gentle Hope towards the city of Pogye at which Goodthinker's army is garrisoned. You are able to quickly adapt to dealing with the beastmen raiders that attempt to harass but find a larger problem being the fact that almost every field along the river has had it's extensive irrigation system flooded causing you to have to trudge through mud all the way.

When you finally reach the city of Poyge you find a massive beastmen camp that belches black smoke into the sky set up around it. Pallisades have been raised, stakes placed and trenches dug. Goodthinker has not spared any expense in preparing for you.

What is your plan?

>>3692574
Deploy the dragons to make massive holes in the walls with their powerful dragonfire. Have them also burn and destroy the traps as well.

Then proceed to storm through the breaches made by the dragons.

>>3692574
Launch assaults. The traps and trenches will do them no good as they are filled with the bodies of thralls. Shell the walls with our catapults and cannons, whilst Bal and Sea Reaver launch ranged attacks from the river to try and open up more openings.

Tobias Seastorm disgusted by the lack of empathy and honour displayed by his fellow lords leads his retinue to join in with the Thrall Hordes. The charge towards the walls is a muddy one strewn with traps and trenches. The black arrows of the Beastmen fall down like rain slaughtering thousands in seconds. However Tobias and his guard have managed to make it to a gap in the first wall and are slowly making a opening that the thralls can force their way inwards. The greatest threat so far has been the beastmen mages which rain fire and slicing winds from above fueled by the hate of the Everwood.

The slaughter continues as the Thralls are funneled into the gap and dispatched by eager beastmen inside the walls. Tobias and his Guard are near overwhelmed with the beastmen focusing on picking his men of one by one with magic. The Thralls are close to breaking with even execution being preferable to running into a beastman's blade on these slaughter fields.

However with this the Warlord turns to your commanders,

"I shall send the Yeti's in to support them, what will you send?"

>>3692678

>>3692678

"To battle"

First we send in war dogs and pygmies.

Behind them in formations legions and skirmishers. The archers and grenadiers will massacre the beastmens.

With them battle priests, imperial champions, combat medics and imperial musicians will mantain moral.

Field Wardens will control that no cowards will go away.

Our cavalry will wait for an oppurtunity to slaughter the horde on a open field.

War machines, warlocks and mages will advance and prepare to rain death it self on the enemy and protect us from the everwood sorcery.

Scouts and spies are to control the surroundings of the battlefield

>>3692692

Send in the dragon

Your forces smash through the meager defenses ripping apart the Beastmen with your enchanted steel. The thralls may fall to the arrows but they do little more then glance of your armor and shields. With the support of the mighty Dragons and Titans even the monstrous creatures of the Everwood bow before you whilst you warlocks meet the raw magical power of these beastman mages with the skilled precision taught in your lands.

Everything is going well... too well.

It is soon after that thought that you begin to hear the rumbling....

The Beastmen you are fighting begin to fall over blood spurting from their mouths as the mages in your army begin to feel a huge rush of mana! Piercing out from the ground and smashing through your men are massive tree trunks and roots! It is like the very Everwood itself is being birthed beneath your feet and slaughtering your men. Quickly you order a retreat, you must save what you can from this horrible spell.

The tendrils of malevolent wood tear through steel like paper as you withdraw away from them. Maelstrom himself takes a massive wound having his back right leg completely torn from it's socket, Vidella has a massive wound across her stomach and Mannjager escapes mostly unharmed protecting himself and others with a shield of Ice.

Overall the legions that were sent in have been decimated with only one fourth of them surviving. A new fortifaction of pure wood and hatred now stands between you and the city of Poyge.

What will you do?

You have 39,000 men remaining.
