Question is there a map from Luathbas times (aka Spamkingdom 1?)
Spamkingdom's original thread had maps posted every so often, I think the recentest was somewhere in 880's? Go check ;v
You offer to mediate between the two.

As they arrive in your throne room with their wives as witnesses, you tell them the need to cooperate and reassure them that you will help them settle their differences.
Later on as new evidence comes to light and stories are woven together, it turns out that it was Karn Mayor's wife who hired the thugs to punish her hubby for allegedly having an affair. She is dungeoned for her outburst while the two mayors become fast friends. Crisis averted!

964 AD, Late Summer
The Spymaster bumps onto you in the palatial gardens.
"My liege, my agents have compiled a report on the Calvendocian Fireblood."
"And?"
"They've learned that Calvendonians bartered the Fireblood to the Chavak Khanate, which uses it for siege warfare. From the Chavak we have learned that Fireblood is comprised of coal, sulphur, tar, and two other ingredients, which come only from Calvendocians. These two ingredients are in mineral form, and a sample of Fireblood obtained by my agents was given to your scholars, my liege."
"Did they found out what these strange ingredients are?"
"Unfortunately, no. They assume it must be a rare mineral native to Calvendocian land as even the dwarven tomes of knowledge do not have any clues as to the mineral's origins."
A) "Thank you for your detailed report. Calvendonians must have a monopoly on Fireblood ingredients. I shall send an envoy asking them to sell us Fireblood and techniques of its making."
B) "Thank you for your detailed report, but I have no need of Fireblood."
C) "Then send your agents into the Calvendonian territories and get me the secrets of Fireblood!"
