Food is a simple matter to solve, as you stalk forth out into the fields, spreading your power into them, demanding more from the plants. The fields spread, stalks bending over and dropping their eyeballs, new watchstalks popping up around them, and soon the Bastion is surrounded in a thick, dense ring of the stalks, some with far larger eyeballs than others. Your followers walk among them, grabbing off the eyes and biting into them, red juice running down their chins as the stalks shriek in agony.
It is a beautiful sight, but on the horizon you see an even more beautiful one. Banner is returning, with a large creature with a hide that appears to be made of solid stone, scored in several places, following behind him. And following behind them are nearly twice the number of men you set out with him, all seeming willing and eager, carrying blades of copper or carven stone.
As Banner reaches you, he kneels, and the men behind him, the new ones, gape before quickly dropping in a mix of awe, worship, and terror. Banner tells his story, how he found a group of scattered tribesmen and told them of your glory and showed them the gifts he granted to his loyal followers. Some agreed to travel with you, others feared you would offend the spirits, especially when he announced the tribute he had been sent to find.
He had found that ancient beast, a mighty thing which eats stone and whose hide turns away copper and flint and bronze, and broke its will. And now it follows him, and therefore you.
He also mentions rumors he heard, of an empire to the north of crystal blades, and an empire to the south of mighty spirits. He wonders if you know of the truth of these rumors.
