Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

You decide gainst any Edict-making this year.

1173 AD, Spring

2to3

Silverwork got some coin into the Treasury.

1173 AD, Mid-Spring

Irvalina of Eldrican arrives to marry Hein!

You eagerly meet with your somewhat distant cousin, but a cousin nonetheless, and enter a chatty party time.

You learn that quite a few noblemen has been removed from power in recent decade by Tetan, and that silver mines at Koi have been in steep decline for past decade. What silver was brought of them last year was forged into some jewelry that makes Irvalina's personal trinkets for her future life as Princess of Methiant.

She then delves into more mundane topics, like bones of hippogryphs being dug out in southeastern Eldrican, and it seems that people again believe in their healing prophecies. Uh, hippogryph powder is so last century! Irvalina, in her chatter, reveals that silver and gold has been scarce in Tetan's treasury last year; instead, copper coins as well as foreign money fill it up, the break-up of Damdamians allowing Tetans' merchants to hook up several sweet trade deals with the southern kingdoms and states.

Wishing Irvalina happy and good wifedom, you give her away into Hein's hands.

The two marry in a somewhat moderate ceremony, with many local guests attending (you, of course, included).

1173 AD, Late Spring

Bjeda, your mother-in-law, is sick in bed!

The healers have found some strange growth in her abdomen, near her womb. They want to stuff her full of mineral and herbal tinctures and to sew some healing herbs into her abdomen, but Pantheonists have already prepared rituals for the God of Healing, to ask him to cure Bjeda of her ails, lest she dies so young. This has already caused some bickering at your court.

A) Obviously not my problem, this.
B) Healers are wise and learned in ways of medicine, they know what they're doing!
C) Such a strange illness requires something extra. Let us pray to God of Healing!

[Prophet]

Why not both? I mean is there something stopping them from doing both?

Edit: C Also yeah I guess I'll vote C for now.

[Criptfeind]

Can't we do both???

C

Also long term plans, I think our economy is doing okay and I don't see us needing emergency expenses. I think we should sign the calendar of festivities next year, really celebrate a real return to Cognatic lines of succession.

(Also I think we know what high levels of the other three resources do, army makes the army ask for a war, economy lets us buy something expensive, and population gives more money. I wanta see what high happiness does.)

No no no

Harvest the Great One

Seriously though, I just realized that Ruberta's an Eldrican and Eldricans worship Damed - how long has she been converted to Pantheonism? I recall the wedding happened back when Religious Tolerance was still a thing?

EDIT: also it's pretty cool that we get to actually flesh out the many, many wives we've got knocking about. It'd be funny if a lot of the dudes in the court got relegated to boozing and hunting local waterfowl while we did all the Important Governance

Spoiler: Proposed "Edict to the rights and privlages of the citizen" (click to show/hide)

• The Lords, the Plebeians, and the Clergy (Hereafter referred to as "The Estates") recognize the current holder of the Imperial Crown of Methiant as the rightful and legitimate Sovereign of the Methianty peoples. 
• The Estates are to gather in an assembly of delegates, to allow the Sovereign to hear the complaints of they're citizenry.  Each estate shall hold it's own election to the Assembly, with each county electing one Noble and one Plebeian, and each Diocese electing one Clergymen.
• The Sovereign, although recognizing the Current religion as the official religion as the official faith of the empire.  Hereby recognizes that all religions have the right to coexist without discrimination, and shall not make any law to infringe on this right.
• The Sovereign shall not make any law infringing upon the three essential freedoms of Speech, The Press, and of Association, excepting cases which would harm the security of the empire.

If it's cancer might as well pray

I'd like to reiterate that I'm pretty sure the deal was half of the output rather than a fixed amount. If he's had trouble that doesn't excuse him from trying to cover it up by not sharing.

Or it's another one of those space lobsters and we might as well pray.
