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.

This is probably why we shouldn't be allowed to name babies though. :p

Cyl's side of the family has seen a King Erik and a Queen Mother Erika. Eirike would continue that tradition nicely.

[Haspen]

You decide to call her Ciri, a good, traditional, Luathbasian name of old.

1180 AD, Next Evening

3*

The fever that you picked up in the morning has flared in intensity. Cyl is at your bed, having arrived just an hour ago.

The pain is unbearable and healers are busy administering medicine to your ill self. They're however sure that it must be a fever related to the childbirth.

1180 AD, Two days later

4*

Finally, you wake up without much pain, although you still feel the fever lingering in your body.

While the maidens help you up from the bed, the healers and the Advisor question the wisdom of this move.

"Lady Empress, you're still sick. Tis unwise to leave the bed so soon." The old man says, stepping forward to block the door.

A) "I have an Empire to run."
B) "Few more days, then."

Give Cyl a chance to make decisions without even consulting feel like he's useful. The Empire will be in good hands.

[Weirdsound]

A

We should push it. Ruberta dying of childbirth complications while the husband is in town would allow us to crown Cyl and unite the two nations. We will not get a better opportunity until Doge comes of age.

-It will be Childbirth that killed Ruberta, and we will have a baby as proof. Nobody could accuse Cyl of foul play to take the throne.
-Happiness and Imperial authority is high. Methiant will not object.
-Cydwyl's own king will be promoted to Empire. Cydwyl will not object, and if they do, Cyl can ride north with the Methianese army at his back.

You decide to rest a bit more.

1180 AD, Three days later

6*

You get back to good health after resting and medication.

Cyl promises not to burden your body with more babies, especially that the medics aren't sure that any future pregnancy will end fortunately.

1180 AD, Midwinter

The near-ancient Lady Auvena has passed away in her sleep. She will be remembered by the palace's staff as a loving matron and teacher of newly employed servants.

1180 AD, Late Winter

And speaking of dying, a letter has arrived from a temple near Rainbow Lizard Mountains; the old monk, Ustwelf, son of Cyl, has died of old age as well just a week ago.

1180 AD, End of the Year

While you and Cyl are resting in the bedchambers, you breastfeeding little Ciri and Cyl composing a response to a letter from his court, the Advisor knocks on the door and steps in.

Ah, right, the Scrolls of Kingdom Status.

Happiness: 7
Population: 6
Economy: 4

"This peaceful year saw some increase in the numbers of Army, and it is currently nearing its maintenance and budgeting limits. With the profitable trading and surplus of precious metals, the higher echelons of the Army clamor that their budget should be increased even further."

A) "Sure thing, our Army shall be the greatest!"
B) "No."

"And of course, I need to ask you, Lady Empress, whether you would like to issue an Edict?"

A) "No."
B) "Some paperwork is long overdue, yes."

"The Cartographers have also finished expanding the Imperial Map." The Advisor unfurls a huge, stitched together piece of cloth and linen. "Please, have a look, Lady Empress."

We are out of minerals. If we want more money in the future, we are going to need to take more resources by force at some point. As for edicts, everything worth while on the list should wait until after we merge with Cydwyl.

One question.

Did the Dwarves survey Orkworld?
