"He died bravely, if those ruffians ever return i will be sure to deny them quarter. I would like to offer thanks for both your condolences and all of the help and advice you have offered. I suppose that many men at arms have found themselves short of work now that the war is over.

"Would it be precocious of me to try and fill my ranks from those, now turned vagabond, in your land?"

[Maldevious]

Sir Percival sits back, fingers steepled in thought. "Hmm... I know of a good man, a soldier who fought under me, who may be looking for work. But I haven't seen him around recently. I will put out feelers around town and send him your way if I can find him."

[Mlamlah]

"You are very kind, and your help is appreciated, is there any service you in turn would ask of me?"

[Maldevious]

He thinks for a moment. "If I had done you any real service, perhaps I would ask a favor in return. Perhaps your favor can be to continue growing your land, so that my people may trade with yours and together we may grow prosperous."

[Ukrainian Ranger]

"I want to ask you for one more advice Sir Percival. I am tired of a lonely life. I desire to have a spouse, to have sons that will continue my work. But I don't know where should I look for my second half"

[Maldevious]

"Ah, well that I can help with. I am hosting a feast in January that will have many eligible ladies in attendance. You are most welcome to attend. I have heard of men meeting their wives in many places, though... tournaments, dances, festivals. Just keep your eyes open."

He pauses, considering his next words. "And if what Alan says is true, perhaps you should improve personal house. I understand that a desirable home can be important for noble ladies..."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Thank you very much."

[Maldevious]

You take your leave, and return home. The rest of the month passes without incident.

Suggestions for December, go!

Learn etiquette, we'll need it when we'll visit the January feast

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Focus on trade, setting up trade deals, putting the finishing touches on the brewery and mill, and making sure your people are safe from the cold and well fed. Also learn etiquette and speech craft both from the squire and irlof, after all, haggling isn't only used in trade.

And if time is left, repair/improve your house. DIY with any people willing to help.

[Mlamlah]

I'm not for wifing up yet, i think we need more stability, wealth and prestige, even if only a little of each, right now our prospects can't be good, especially considering that only a couple years ago we were commonborn.

But all the same...

Agreed.

And if time is left, repair/improve your house. DIY with any people willing to help.

I think we might need to either build a new one or furnish the one we have for proper improvement. It's been fixed up nicely already, we're pretty amateur and might muck it up.

It takes quite a lot time from getting introduced to a lady and advancing to the marriage. Better start earlier than later. And we'll meat many locals nobles at the feast, something we need to do, anyway

Also, if we get lucky, right lady may kick start our reputation and give us important allies.

[Mlamlah]

I agree with the social benefits of attending a feast, but there is no need to rush into seeking marriagable ladies, i'm... not actually sure how old we are, but we're marriagable at any age and we've got plenty of time, there are more important matters to attend to.
