A!

[Haspen]

You order that these gifts will be given away to the poor and rich of your kingdom.

Everyone liked that.

Your wife gives birth again!

The healers and Druids relieve Dugda's pains and ease her bed-stay while she names the newborn boy 'Sarni', after your grandfather.

"Balancing the Scrolls is hard, my liege." Says the Advisor, stroking his beard.

"I am glad that you've gotten the hang of it, though. The people seem content with your rule, perhaps it is time to consider more taxes? Or maybe, more soldiers?"

A) "Nay!"
B) "We can squeeze some extra tax from them!"
C) "We can press the less fortunate into the army!"

[Elephant Parade]

A. We have continuous income and no border conflicts.

You decide to keep it as it is for now.

505 AD, Summer

"Mercenaries?" You ask as the diplomat of Queen Vigda, from a (more or less) neighbouring, land-locked kingdom of Reval in the south, bows gently.

"Yes, your majesty. Our foces have been depleted by my Queen's father in past year and rampage of a Giant. Now bandits and enemies of the Queen are harassing us at and within our borders. She heard that your army is strong and was main ingredient in your coming to power, so she is offering to take a small part of it to her borders to help restore the situation. It might takes a year, it might take three years, but the Queen has promised in-writing that money will be sent for their services to you every Summer, the final one coming alongside your returning soldiers."

You decide to...

A) Send some soldiers to Reval.
B) Apologize that you have none to spare.

[Kashyyk]

We don't have much of either really. But we have less money than we do soldiers...

B. We can't afford it. Not this time

You apologize, saying you don't have much forces to send abroad.

The diplomat leaves unhappy.

505 AD, Midsummer

Another year in a row, the selling of raw lumber from your forests brings profit.

505 AD, Winter

A wave or murmurs and head-shaking goes over the mass of your councilmen when the scout finishes talking.

"Wildmen? Are you sure?" The young man nods.

"Aye, my liege. Like every wildman, they travel on foot, carry their homes on their backs, encamp and then raid our villages for cattle, foodstuffs and young girls and boys! And like all Wildmen, their language is weird and heavy." You scratch your beard - one good thing Tyrant ever did to Surinthomus and the neighbouring lands was gathering large enough hunting force to destroy the Wildmen from the north. Their nomad camps were burnt down, and every Wildman, no matter age or gender, was cut apart and fed to the ravens, and those that tried to escape were tracked down and eradicated as well, often after finding another, previously unknown camp.

It seems, however, that twenty years after this great campaign, the Wildmen have returned to harass your people once more.

A) "I shall send forces at once to beat the Wildmen back!"
B) "Alas, there's nothing we can do at the moment!"
C) "Our Army is needed elsewhere... but we can spare money on mercenaries and supplies for affected settlements!"

"I shall send forces at once to beat the Wildmen back!"

The Marshal stands up, cape fluttering behind him.

"My liege! Will you lead us against the brutes like you did lead us against the Tyrant?"

A) "VERILYYYYYYY!"
B) "Not this time, no."

[Elephant Parade]

A. Time to put that trait to use!
