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.

ABB. This is a religious matter, it's important that the crown not get too overtly involved in the proceedings or it could undermine their legitimacy. The other faiths don't really have a horse in this race, inviting them is just asking to get the proceedings derailed.

If we pull the little cults with us it will just dissolve into useless arguments as they have vastly differing philosophies and no real leverage. They would literally just be there to make noise.

ABA had majority of votes there, which is not surprising, it's a good band ;v


You decide to host the council in the city of Luathbas, inviting the three major religions of Methiant - Pantheonism, Singularism and Alldivinism - along with the heretics of Enyntheism whose rapidly growing influence has caused some friction.

And you will take the issues into your hands personally. One can hope your mediocre charisma gets supplanted by your luck!

The date of council is set for Spring 1124 AD.

1123 AD, Autumn

Grave news come from the west! Your neighbour and father-in-law, Elran III, has been greviously wounded during a battle that was going to crush Tirine's war effort. According to rumors, his healers aren't optimistic about his chances.

Few days later, you stare at your wife who is pacing around your study, clearly worried.

"Can't we do anything about the war between my father and those scummy Tirines, my beloved? I'm worried for my father and I'm doubly worried for his kingdom." You scratch your cheek sheepishly, thinking of an answer...

A) "I could send some supplies and money to help your father's forces in the war."
B) "Well, I could send some soldiers, but I've gotta say I expect to be paid for their services."
C) "I love you deeply, and I respect your father, but that is a war between Eldricans and Tirines. I can't get involved."
D) "Fine, if it will please you, my dearest, I shall send some soldiers westwards so they can help your father in his campaign."

Why no option for "I would, but a bird told me not to"?

We are bound to help them via marriage ties, and if we don't, it's kinda scummy.

[Criptfeind]

C

We're only bound to help if he asks for it. And from what we've been able to figure out, he doesn't want our help. Which is a great excuse to avoid helping considering we have a prophecy that implies helping him would screw us. If he does actually ask for help, then we'd be duty bound to provide it. But until then, nupe.

A Our wife asked. This is not something a wise man dismisses.

(But no soldiers, that's only asking for bad things to follow. Whether we believe the bird or not, we wouldn't want to involve the army on what looks like the losing side of the war. But keep those doubts private from Esta.)

A - He gave us our wonderful wife, this is the very least we could do.

[Haspen]

You promise Esta to send some supplies. She isn't exactly satisfied, but she looks less worried at least.

1123 AD, Winter

A letter from Elran III himself has arrived! In the message he thanks you for your supplies, and asks for prayers so that his renewed counter-offensive against Tirine Kingdom succeeds.

Few days later, the silver, gemstones and various metals arrive at the palace.

6

You obtain many profits from selling of the metals, as the local workshops and merchants were low on supply.

The next day brings the alchemists to you for an audience.

"My liege, the lack of funding to procure Fireblood ingredients is hurting our work. Can we ask you to provide us with greater annual funding?"

A) "Sure thing, I can be generous!"
B) "No, work with what you have!"

Saying this, just in case.
