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.

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.

Finally starting to stabilize

Oh yes, A new mine is always welcome

[Haspen]

You have the Treasury sponsor creation of the mines in the west.

1122 AD, Midsummer

Another round of riots! This time, or maybe we should say, again, people of cities that once were Felonsine, are rioting for various petty reasons. Several larger and few smaller settlements are affected, and the governors of those cities say they can manage the situation.

A) If they can, I see no reason not to let them try.
B) Nah, I will soothe the peasants with speeches!
C) Our Army should intervene and crush the riots.

1122 AD, Late Summer

Again your propaganda writings managed to calm peoples down.

There are news brought by travelers from further west; the Eldrican is having tough times fighting the Tirines, who apparently managed to hire a horde of nomadic mercenaries. Still, the outcomes of battles are mostly favorable for Elran and his armies.

1122 AD, Autumn

Your son Tywynn caught some fever, but the healers say he got through it with ease and no complications.

1122 AD, Mid-Autumn

The Spymaster bumps into you in one of the corridors during a cold, moonless night.

"Greetings, m'liege." He tips his hat. "I have news of great urgency for you."

"What would that be?"

"I'm sad to report that your younger brother Aethled is conspiring with some noblemen to overthrow you. Apparently the last few years convinced them and your brother that your leadership will bring ruin to Methiant. Moreover, it seems they're having talks with some Alldivine Cloisterlords to provide them with religious mercenaries, in return for some sort of concessions. Perhaps the land you denied the Cloisters a while back." You consider this carefully, your heart deeply saddened.

Is there no end for all this treachery and instability?

As for your brother Aethled and the nobles...

A) Have them executed for treason.
B) Make up some reasons to have at least some of them tried and arrested.
C) Send Aethled a letter, in hopes of reaching some understanding.
D) Gotta wait and see what they come up with.

As for the possible Alldivine treachery...

A) Have their Cloisters 'inspected' by your Army.
B) Send some agents to eliminate the high clergy involved in this affair.
C) Ignore them for now.

//No split votes pls.

[Harry Baldman]

C, C! Just let Aethled know that we see what he's up to, and don't fuck with the heavily armed monks before we have our army online.

[Iituem]

B, B.  Prisoners can be ransomed or pardoned for great justice/treasury, and while we can't let this slide we also can't just open war on the Alldivines.

Edit:  Indeed, a further suggestion.  If any of our nobles do get arrested, leave them in the cells for six months to a year and then ransom them their freedom.  Should be much more willing to provide a decent sum.

We're doing our damndest here. If it comes down to it though, between us and our brother... I think we may want to surrender. The country cannot fight another civil war, and if people are truly displeased by our leadership, then it is necessary that we capitulate to once more instill some sort of happiness amongst the people.

[Haspen]

You send a letter to your brother who currently lives in Luathbas.

The reply comes half a month later; in the letter, your brother speaks of no ill will toward the dynasty and that he would never destabilize the country, but would and will strive to make Methiant the most powerful and stable of countries, with the best of kings on their throne and happiest subjects of them living on the fertile and well-protected lands.

Nowhere in the letter he writes anything about supporting you specifically and goes great lengths to not mention you by name.

A) Clearly he is an extremist that needs to go through an unfortunate accident or two.
B) Clearly I should wait and see if Aethled is a traitor or not.

If you can't live a hero, you can always die a martyr!
