Bless the the Frozen Foot Tribe. Though, the tribes have their differences, what make them who they are today, none of the blood shall be forgot. For they all originate as one, before the ancestors they are all children of the same father, equally worthy of inheriting the blessing of the land.

Year 1050

Year 1041 : After two years of small skirmishes, the Divusene Kingdom send his army inside the Shredded Order controlled territory.
1 v 5 = Brutal Shredded Order victory
It... Does not go quite as expected for the divusene king. He is captured in battle, and next forced to surrender.
The Shadars Orders does not stop here, however. After having taken control of the divusene lands, they put the king in trial for heresy, and burn him on the stake. The royal family flee the country as the Shredded Order take complete control of it.

Year 1044 : In the Vidunese Kingdom is found an untouched elvish ruin, with inside a beautiful golden necklace, of the finest craftelfship. The king immediatly orders the necklace to be brought to his palace.
4 v 1 = Necklace is now vidunese pride of the kingdom
The elvish necklace is successfully delivered to the king, which uses it as a proof of wealth and refinement for the kingdom.

Year 1048 : Taking advantage of the turmoil in the Larinise Kingdom, the Grodel Republic launches a naval raid on its coasts !
4+1 v 4 = Narrow Grodel victory
Though weakened, the larinise potency is not to be underestimated. It is barely thanks to their superior ships that Grodels manage to take back the sea with their holds full of slaves and riches.
The Larinise Kingdom, despite their honor safe, will lack those men and wealth.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright ! Here comes the moment you probably long awaited for !
To get an idea of the order now, we have in the frontrunners :
- Engdal Duchy with 7 power
- Grodel Republic with 5 power
- Goldtooth Goblin Horde with 5 power
- Vidunese Kingdom with 4 power (overlord of the Daguri Duchy)
- Egorash Kingdom with 3 power

Down to the line we have :
- Ridhel chiefdom with -1 power (tributary of Vedinar Federation)
- Baewen Duchy with -1 power
- Dalgury Duchy with -1 power (tributary of Vidunese Kingdom)
- Larinise Kingdom with -1 power

A last note before you start giving your special action for this turn.
You create your own event for this turn. You have some ideas in the first post rules, to inspire you and give you the general tone of the actions, though you can create more custom one. The core of your event will happens. The dice decide either or not your event rolls the way you intended it to. For example, if you put 6 dragon eggs on the island of Egorash, they will be find. But it's up to the dice that the eggs will be given to the king, his heir, an ambitious vassal or an humble peasant. It's also up to the dice that the dragons will be bound to a unique person, or if the dragons will be individually used for personal gains.
About the dragons, see my precedent post :
You could not knew it because I did not tell it, but to give you some lore for your turn 5 action, dragons actually exist in this world ! Well, at least they existed, because they were last seen one or two milleniums ago, on the isles of the Inner Sea (in the south-west of the Hyrun Peninsula).
They are indeed tamable, but elves are the only known people to ever managed to do so (good intuition to do your action in Egorash :P). But hey, time for humans, I guess !

For dwarves (I guess you will want them, we are on Bay12 forum, after all), they do exist... But not on that side of the ocean. Yet, at least. Dwarf sea invasion on steamboats is a really tempting scene to put them on the peninsula.

About magic, we are on a low magic era (which imply high magic era exists, yes). This means that magic is hard, magic is rare, and wizards have weak powers and are generally seen as charlatans. However, this does not impact your own powers, just how magic is seen in the world now.

Event: Godbuild-Divine Spring

In the hills stretching between the Goldtoooth Tribe and Bloodclaw Tribe, waters and mystical flowers spring up. While aestitic, the most important change are the trees. They hold fruits shaped like the heads of other races, and those that eat of them gain magical powers. However, if you were to eat a head-fruit of your own race, you would carry a curse that would ruin those around you and whatever you try to do. Just as well there are no Goblin head-fruits. Of other note, eating of these fruits makes you more loyal to goblin-kind, eventually twisting your mind to serve the expansion of their race. They also have a slight hypnotic effect on the branch to make you want to eat them.

Due to it's appearance, there will likely be a bit of conflict between the two tribes. However the twisting loyalty will eventually lead to a united race, the Goldtooth leading the new era as the Bloodclaw serve as warriors.

Event: New Religion

Within the Grodel Republic, a new - well, old, really, but until now obscure - god gains worship.

Common to the Gunnar, Shadar and Vendhar pantheons was a deity known as "The Student", with their personal name varying from myth to myth. Unlike the other gods, the Student as not granted authority over any one domain or trade, and was considered the least of them all; however, not being tied to a singular concept gave them the freedom to learn from the other gods, to see how they worked, to question the way of things and truly do something new. Or at least, so claims the founder of the Student's cult.

Regardless of the truth of these claims of the grand origin of the religion, the tenets are rather practical: the highest praise the Student expects from you is their emulation. Know that you are not perfect, that you have no grand purpose granted to you - and therefore, know that you have the power to learn, to become better, and to carve out your own place in the world. Know that you don't know everything - and therefore, ask questions, and always be ready to ask not only what or how, but also why. Learn not only one thing, but all of them, and see how they interconnect and how two disparate subjects can tell you about each other. Know that you were not born finished, and so be open to change. Listen to everyone, for they always know something you do not.

Always be improving, for that is how we touch the divine.


[By the way, Tric, I'm pretty sure that what you're trying to do qualifies much more for a 50-turn, cataclysmic event. Just do a cultural shift.]

Event: New Religion - Blind God Tribe

In the beginning there was the Primordial Father, he who first wandered the forests of the north. It is he he first explored it's sacred deeps and talked to it's Spirits. For the forest loved him, just as he loved it. It was in those ancient days, when the forest came to him and bore him him four sons, who would father the four tribes.

He, our progenitor and Father of our people, who upon his bodily death ascended to become our Ancestor God, to rule over our Ancestor Spirits and the Spirits of the Forest. He left his sons the values of kinship, oaths, resilience, and respect for their mother, the forest. So it is the duty of the four Tribes to live as one family, all equal before our loving Father. It is their duty to uphold their word and bonds, for that is the foundation of the Tribes. It is their duty to defend themselves and their kin from the slaving foreigner, for we shall not be daunted within our Mothers hold. It their duty to care for the forest and her sacred grooves, for she is our Mother.

[I'm excited to see how much of this survives the dice roll.]

Event: Expansion - Engdal Duchy

For decades now the Engdal Duchy has been blessed with bountiful harvests, a loyal and hardworking populace, and most importantly peace. While its northern neighbours have exhausted themselves in frequent fighting, the Duchy has bided its time, growing in power if not in land. Although now would be a good time to strike the depleted forces of the Vedinar Federation and the Vidunese Kingdom, war is not the first resort of the people of Engdal Duchy.

Instead, the Duke announces a new era of expansion to the bountiful hills and fertile plains of their south. These lands have laid fallow since anyone can remember, but it is time for that to change. Day after day, migrant caravans leave the cities and towns of the Duchy to settle the southern lands. With pick and plow, they will reclaim the lands in the name of the Engdal Duchy, cementing its place as a power of the south.

Event: Divine creation - Age of Dragons

In the deep untouched jungles of Egorash. Lies an ancient temple. It was a temple created by the elves millennia ago. It's front large door has two eleven statues. Inside the temple is a large rectangle shape room. It's walls cover in murals of elves worshiping dragons. 6 titan pillars stood across from each other in the middle of the temple. Between these pillars lead a pathway to a large vault door that has elven scriptures carved around it. In the middle of the vault door is an engraved dragon spreading it's wing far and wide. The engraved dragon's eyes suddenly grew red and soon as its eyes lit up the whole temple began to shake violently causing a massive earthquake that shook the whole island of Egorash. The vault door slowly opens itself and when it has finally opened it revealed six large white eggs all bundled together. The Age of Dragons has come.

Anyone who comes here first, will forever be bound by these eggs. What they will do with it? That's fate to decide.

Entity Mold: Zapcloud
This creature is a small yellow cloud like creature. While gaseous, it holds itself together with its neurons. As such, it uses electricity to defend itself. It is found in the Grodel Republic. It tends to wander at night so it doesn’t have to worry as much about the inhabitants attacking it. It still hovers above buildings during the day too, observing the inhabitants since it is curious. Some nights children will watch it, curious about it. Since the electricity makes sounds as it is dispersed, the children think it is trying to communicate with them, which it very well might be. Some metals when shocked were found to keep the electricity for a time, at which time if anyone touched it they’d get electrified too. Zapcloud is just curious, only zapping things that could be a threat, like attackers or things thrown at it. It’s mind isn’t unlike that of a child, though it will learn things in time
