Year 2 - Fallout Phase:The fallout phase is when fate, the NPCs, and vassals with time remaining on their hands may have their fun. Dukes do not act during the fallout phase; Their only means of managing these proceedings is to control what goes into the discard pile, and manipulate the players who are controlling minor characters.
The Fallout Phase is split into three parts, which occur in the following order: Industrial Fallout → Fate Fallout → Character Fallout
Industrial Fallout -During Industrial Fallout, constructions that produce resources may hit. A construction hits if any card within its hit range exists in the discard pile during Industrial Fallout. A construction gains one resource in an empty storage slot when it hits. A non-castle construction that hits while its storage capacity is full trades in all Material, Food, Might, and Chemical units it is holding to bank a random mystery card as wealth, and then gains the new resource in a newly freed up storage slot. A castle that hits while its storage capacity is full may do the same OR transfer the created resource to the inventory of its lord.
Buildings that Hit This Year:All the starting quarries hit! Everybody store a unit of Materials at their quarry!
The Iron Fortress in the Shalesbury Islands Hits! Chose and store a unit of Food, Chemicals, Might, or Material!
Castle Talis in The Duchy of Talis Hits!
Castle upon the Vale in the Duchy of Oboson Hits! Chose and store a unit of Food, Chemicals, Might, or Material!
Maximum Spin may chose and store a unit of Food, Chemicals, Might, or Material!Hightop Manor in the Duchy of Oboson Hits! Chose and store a unit of Food, Chemicals, Might, or Material!
Granite Fortress in the Duchy of Strognar Hits! Chose and store a unit of Food, Chemicals, Might, or Material!
Mane Manor in the Duchy of Strognar Hits! Chose and store a unit of Food, Chemicals, Might, or Material!
Fate Fallout -During Fate Fallout, particular cards and combinations of cards trigger specific events to occur. Events occur in the following order, and each card in the discard pile may only be used to trigger a single event.
Fertility Moon: (The king and queen of a single suit) Every Count and/or Duke who’s defining card share the same suit as the marriage, may gain a ‘youthful heir’ resource in an empty storage slot in their castle.
Not this year!Arrivals: (Two cards of different suits but the same value) A new neutral NPC character is spawned. A-10 spawns a wandering NPC. Kings, Queens, and/or Jacks spawn an NPC with a castle.
The two Jacks create an NPC with a castle! The two 7s create a wandering NPC!Departures: (Any single card that matches the card representing a Wandering NPC) The NPC represented by the departure card leaves the game under circumstances decided by the GM.
No departures this year...Positive Global Event: (Any single queen) Each duchy makes a luck roll. A global event occurs that directly benefits all duchies that pass. If there is also a Joker in the discard pile, this event becomes more intense, and magical in nature.
The Queen-o-Spades creates a Positive Global Event, and the discarded Joker amplifies it!Negative Global Event: (Any single king) Each duchy makes a luck roll. A global event occurs that directly harms all duchies that fail. If there is also a Joker in the discard pile, this event becomes more intense, and magical in nature.
Not this year...Global Quest: (Any single jack) Some great challenge or quest is posed to the Kingdom! The first duchy to complete it in time will receive a reward! If there is also a Joker in the discard pile, this event becomes more intense, and magical in nature.
The Jacks have already been used to trigger an arival, and thus cannot trigger a Global Quest!Arrivals:Wandering Arrival = Ace-o-Clubs, 6-o-Spades (Multi-talented Trait 1), King-o-Spades (Multi-talented Trait 2)

The Pirate Queen Wellfleet has surfaced! This feared sea-dog has managed to find and capture one of the King's military fortresses, which she is now using as a base of operations. Look out! This 'queen' is aggressive and unpredictable!
