You agree to the proxy system, and Beren leaves with a nod.

875 AD, Autumn

Village elder of a settlement in extreme northeast have sent you a letter.

Apparently, hurthlings has begun 'invading' the borders of his people's farmlands; camping and foraging at the outskirts, and recently they stole a cow.

The village elder, level-headed as he is, have sent some men who dealt with the previous Hurthling generation and those managed to find out that these Hurthlings are escaping their homeland - not because of Trolls, of which there are few remaining, but rather from Kashites, who seem to have crossed the mountains repeatedly on slave raids to capture Hurthlings.

"This situation might grow worse in the future, my liege." Says the advisor. "We should take care of it now." You decide to...

A) Send a letter to the Hurthlings, offering living place amongst your subjects.
B) Send a letter to the Kashite Prince, asking him to stop the slave raids made by his people.
C) Send a letter to the village elder, letting him toss the Hurthlings out with force, if needed.

I think A or B is probably for best but since I can only choose one A it is.

[Harry Baldman]

A, since B isn't going to work due to the relative impossibility in regulating a lucrative slave trade.

A, since B isn't going to work due to the relative impossibility in regulating a lucrative slave trade.

B pretty much is going to work if it's in our territory o_O

...Is Hurthling land technically in our territory? Y'know, those forests near the perimeter that we usually don't go into?

[Harry Baldman]

It's Hurthling land, that kind of thing is A) unenforcable on our end and B) particularly unenforcable on the Kashite end because slave traders don't operate in the name of a government, they're traders and thus you can't really tell them to stop without putting restrictions on the slave trade which is an extremely doubtful proposition in a slave trading nation.

[Tiruin]

Ah didn't know that there was independent land out there from my hazy memory of the map.

A it is!
Really hope we can expand on our knowledge base here. Maybe expanding with the priests help too!

Hurthlings! Surely it has been long enough since our... great-grandfather's (I think?) reign that they are willing to give us another chance! Invite them back to their old homes and let the agricultural economy flourish!

You send envoys and letters to the Hurthlings refugees/immigrants/vagrants, offering them to join and settle in the lands previously occupied by the previous generation of Hurthlings.

Only few Hurthlings replied to your call; less than fifty really, most of them not related to each other. The rest, as the reports go, decided to move northwards to colder areas which are nonetheless further away from both Trolls and humans of any kind.

875 AD, Winter

Your dearest wife gave birth to a girl! She has named her 'Aifa'.

875 AD, Midwinter

Beren bumps into your in the palace gardens and hands you a scroll he pulled from his tunic.

'To Feodh of Luathbas
Your idea of combining arms against a non-human menace of Elf nation is intriguing. We have Elf people in southern Damdamia as well, where those black-skinned, blue-haired sub-humans are tending to our fruit and cacao farms. However, if your proxy is to be trusted, your Elf peoples are fair-skinned and have quite a temperament. I will therefore seek challenge-loving commanders amongst the Army of Damdamia, and see if some might be willing to work as mercenaries for you. You will of course provide them with payment and temples so that they might fulfill their religious needs toward our Lord Father.
-Dartus Fastus'

You decide to write a reply...

A) ...agreeing to the idea of Damdamian soldier-mercenaries working for you.
B) ...attempting to negotiate actual, government-regulated campaign between the two nations.
C) ...rejecting the offer as it is simply not good enough, and you don't see how they could propose anything better.

[Harry Baldman]

A! Mercenaries, just like in Houlandin I's times! It's been so long since last we had some!

[Criptfeind]

[Taricus]

B. If they want temples they're offering something a little more substantial.
