Xeniice Turn:

Spoiler: Fluff (click to show/hide)

Mlaine dies of natural causes, and a day of mourning, sponsored by Oro, is held in honor of his achievements. Newly promoted to General, Luaeni, his aides, the bards, and the leadership of Oro have a series of meetings and a run a series of mock-battles to determine the future of land warfare, and how the now-abundant bronze stockpiles of Xeniice will best be put to use. Square formations of heavily armored troops with pikes are eventually decided upon. After many debates, the Azuri are brought in on the idea, as the expensive spirit-imbuing services will allow Xeniician troops to quickly eradicate opposition, with minimal loss of life.

Spoiler: People and Factions (click to show/hide)

Oro - The most militaristic of the major families. They have begun to value honor on the battlefield, though not nearly as much as valor and skill. They have two voices in the Council.

Lozanth - They have the most skilled craftsmen of the families. They value quality work. They have one voice in the Council, and split a second with Arlenth.

Arlenth - This family performs most of the raw labor in Xeniice. They value dedication in their laborers. They have one voice in the Council, and split a second with Lozanth.

Nedici - They have the most skilled shipwrights and fishermen, as well as most of the trading ships, and are greatly jealous of the Oro for somehow surpassing their naval strength. They are the administrators of Copperflow, so long as they administrate it exactly as the council decides. They continue to seek profits and power outside of Xeniice, perhaps due to the low competition. They have one voice in the Council.

Azuri - This is the only major family able to claim to understand the spirits, and they have the strongest support amongst minor families and Free citizens. They have two voices in the Council.

Kalron - This is the weakest of the major families, by a significant margin. They have the most successful trading network, and continue to expand it where possible. Most of their wealth comes from taxing their merchants and from their school. They seek to reclaim their place of power, most likely by using amassed wealth. They lack any representation in the Council.

Free Citizens - Between 6% and 7% of the population has renounced their family ties, and are not bards. They have formed a loose association.

Bards - They are the intellectual faction of Xeniice. Their wealth and ability to eat comes largely by accepting work commissions from major families.

General Luaeni - A middle-aged member of Lozanth. He has learned much from General Mlaine, and has now replaced him. He hopes to get his own chance to have a legacy remembered for all time.

Lt. General Duvale - A highly talanted Oro leader, recently discovered by Luaeni while training replacements for the Oro Galley. He is quite enthusiastic about removing the dark elven threat.

Engineer Galthor - An architectural genious from Arlenth. He is slightly absent-minded, and is quite happy to be constructing buildings that shall last for long after his death.

Your guys going north decide to follow the coast. They run into a pack of huge wolves, but your explorer is good at sneaking around and they avoid the things. All the sneaking makes it hard to map that area, though.
You meet a tribe of mostly friendly centaurs to the west, discover bronze working, and build a quarry and a pasture. The quarry should probably be replaced with a mine, though, because there's lots of nice copper ore there. You stockpile some furs, I guess. Oh, and your granary is almost full again.

Research into iron working is completed almost at once. The researchers quickly get bored and start looking into other technologies that might be militarily useful, and several years later they've worked out how to train horses to be ridden.
Not much else happens. A palisade is built around the suddenly vital iron mine, but that's about it.

(You already had a wall on 6. I'll put it on 5 instead.)
Exploring north and a bit to the east, the scouting talons wrestle with supply problems for a while, and then run into a pack of ferocious drakes near the shore. After a brief battle, the talons are bloodied but the drakes are scattered and fleeing. Meanwhile, a more comprehensive survey of the hills northwest of town reveals a good-sized vein of silver ore. (The areas due north and northeast have not yet been surveyed.)
Things in town proceed pretty much as expected, which is to say, with a great deal of patriotic fanfare. The Spire opens its doors, and Maul wastes no time touting its virtues to anyone who will listen. A small fleet of canoes is prepared for coastal exploration, and a respectable herd of swift-running horses is cultivated for when speed on land is needed. New, more portable medical magics are developed, which excites everyone even though only soldiers are likely to directly benefit. And finally, the great wall project continues apace.

The galleys sent east find that even their prodigious ability to carry supplies is reaching its limits, and decide to return home early rather than risk calamity. This is, however, little more than a sideshow to most of Xeniice.
The real excitement happens right in town. The enchanted bronze weapons and armor being turned out capture the public's imagination in a big way. Surely they must be the finest weaponry the world has ever seen! The dark elves will surely be unable to stand against Xeniice once the newly equipped pikegnomes enter the field! General Luaeni is only slightly less enthusiastic about the development, claiming that, from what he has seen, the dark elves are less advanced than the Xeniicians, and pointing out how dramatically superior the new magical bronze is to anything else that has been seen on either side. The military excitement seems to extend to the bards, as well, and ideas for new ways to equip soldiers flow like water.

  Silver is the topic of much discussion in Sunstone. There's certainly no lack of enthusiasm for the stuff from some corners, but many of the city's leaders are more reserved on the topic. Despite grumblings from many citizens that they never see any of it, air diamonds are already a source of precious jewelry. While there is little doubt that a second source would make for a far more stable supply, some insist that the need for sky diamonds elsewhere is temporary, and that there is no need for an entire colony simply to cover temporary lapses.
  Much of the city's higher leadership is less skeptical, however. Maul in particular sees use for sky diamonds beyond the simple charms currently produced, and suspects a steady supply of silver would be far more useful than it might seem. Still, the dispute manages to mostly keep the topic open; with other things to do and numerous regions to explore, the decision on whether to found a colony is not one that need be decided immediately.
  In more practical developments, Maul orders Sunstone's first "navy," and makes preparations for much better-equipped soldiers than he currently has. Mia oversees the last of Sunstone's great wall, finalizing the complete defense of the city, and the incident with the drakes makes Rakul more impatient about taming such creatures.

Xeniice Turn:

Spoiler: Fluff (click to show/hide)

Xeniice continues dedicating itself to preparing the mightiest army in the known world. Arlenth and Lozanth attempt to dissuade Azuri out of their pro-buildup stance, but only gain a partial success: Rather then allow the Oro to directly control two units of frightfully powerful powerful soldiers, the Arlenth and Azuri will together support one unit of pikegnomes. They aren't particularly pleased with this, but at least they don't have reason to fear complete Oro dominance. Nedici commissions the bards to work with their shipwrights, as it's definitely time to improve the navy.

Spoiler: People and Factions (click to show/hide)

Oro - The most militaristic of the major families. They have begun to value honor on the battlefield, though not nearly as much as valor and skill. They have two voices in the Council.

Lozanth - They have the most skilled craftsmen of the families. They value quality work. They have one voice in the Council, and split a second with Arlenth.

Arlenth - This family performs most of the raw labor in Xeniice. They value dedication in their laborers. They have one voice in the Council, and split a second with Lozanth.

Nedici - They have the most skilled shipwrights and fishermen, as well as most of the trading ships, and are greatly jealous of the Oro for somehow surpassing their naval strength. They are the administrators of Copperflow, so long as they administrate it exactly as the council decides. They continue to seek profits and power outside of Xeniice, perhaps due to the low competition. They have one voice in the Council.

Azuri - This is the only major family able to claim to understand the spirits, and they have the strongest support amongst minor families and Free citizens. They have two voices in the Council.

Kalron - This is the weakest of the major families, by a significant margin. They have the most successful trading network, and continue to expand it where possible. Most of their wealth comes from taxing their merchants and from their school. They seek to reclaim their place of power, most likely by using amassed wealth. They lack any representation in the Council.

Free Citizens - Between 6% and 7% of the population has renounced their family ties, and are not bards. They have formed a loose association.

Bards - They are the intellectual faction of Xeniice. Their wealth and ability to eat comes largely by accepting work commissions from major families.

General Luaeni - A middle-aged member of Lozanth. He has learned much from General Mlaine, and has now replaced him. He hopes to get his own chance to have a legacy remembered for all time.

Lt. General Duvale - A highly talented Oro leader, recently discovered by Luaeni while training replacements for the Oro Galley. He is quite enthusiastic about removing the dark elven threat.

Engineer Galthor - An architectural genius from Arlenth. He is slightly absent-minded, and is quite happy to be constructing buildings that shall last for long after his death.

Now, I know people are going to ask, and the answer is, "by doing something I think is cool, and telling me in your RP why you're doing it". You'll know the question when you see it. Also, apologies to Happerry, but I've decided spirit-touched are just too good, and I'm bumping the cost to 2 labor.

Your explorers find an enormous freshwater lake, and a small town on its banks. Its human inhabitants have quite a few trinkets with small, light blue gems, and they're quite guarded about where the things came from.
You build a marketplace and extend your road through the forest. Your research goes well.

(That M on the world map means "cartographers failed to find anything here". Also, you only have one unit of air charms in storage, not two.)
All the men sent exploring northwards run into supply problems, but they press on nonetheless. North and a bit west of town, the explorers meet a tribe of merfolk. They seem peaceful, unlike the humans, and more or less friendly, despite the language barrier. The seekers, meanwhile, scour a section of the coast, but find nothing of interest.
Back in town, the big news is the completion of the city's decades-long fortification project. The triple ring of walls that surrounds the city will surely stand for all time, a testament to Sunstone's greatness and an inspiration to all who dwell within! In less dramatic news, new beast training techniques have been developed, and are waiting to be put into practice, and the city's fledgling navy trains its first unit.

Xeniice (Turquoise)

The gold mine experiences a brief surge of productivity when a small vein of exceptionally rich ore is uncovered. It's all mined out within a couple months, but while it lasts it brings a huge influx of gold to the city.
There is bad news as well, however. A caravan of barges carrying food and copper from Copperflow is found and attacked by a group of dark elven archers riding on the backs of horses. The civilians can only move towards the far bank and hide behind any available cover as the arrows rain down upon them, hoping to escape before the elves find a way to catch them on the river. Fortunately, the river is deep and wide, and the elves have no rafts or canoes. They harass the traders until nightfall, and then, in a harrowing night of blind sailing, the traders escape with only a few casualties. Sacks of grain, it seems, are pretty good at stopping arrows.
Back in town, the new units of pikegnomes are officially formed, and designs for better warships have been drawn up.

Xeniician Council Chambers
The standard voices are present, as well as a scattering of bards, both generals, and the engineer.

Arlenth: "They're rather slow."

Oro: "Apparently so. Your point?"

Arlenth: "I don't see how they're even worth fighting. Surely they'll give up after we soundly defeat their raiders."

Oro: "Do you not see it? This is the perfect time to strike. They cannot stand against us now, but they could potentially pose a threat if left to their own devices."

Luaeni: "I stand with him. They have clearly shown hostile intentions time and again. What their ancestors started, we are in the perfect position to now end. I am also quite interested in the beasts they rode."

Nedici: "Think of the riches we could take from them as we insure that they can never attack us again."

Lozanth: "But a military action of the scale needed to cripple them ... And yet you suggest that we continue to train more of our youth for war. Is it truly worth it?"

Duvale: "They are ceaseless in their aggression, if dense. Should we not stop them while we can, they might disrupt trade or worse."

Azuri: "Xeniice is superior any giants, as we have been for generations. We will remain superior. Should they one day pose even a minor threat, our descendants can deal with them then. Now that they cannot touch us, it is time to resume our focus on internal affairs."

Nedici: "They are a threat to us now. Having discovered our traders, it wouldn't take long for even the simplest of gnomes to figure out possible ambush sites. Even an army of fools could do the same."

Arlenth: "Is it not your family's job to guard the river?"

Nedici: "Is it not the job of the council to ensure that hostile armies do not have the chance to blockade the river?"

Lozanth: "Enough. Copperflow is more vulnerable then the river, anyway. Lozanth supports a retaliatory strike."

Arlenth: "..."

Galthor: "I've developed the perfect weapon, with the ability to smash through walls from a distance!" Galthor excitedly proceeds to demonstrate a 1/10th catapult model. "I just need some time to perfect a large version and train a team to operate it. Their walls will not be an obstacle to us!"

Five people on the plains, at tiles 2, 10, 3, 12 and 11 for food, three on the woods, at 1, 7, and 8, and three in the hills at 4, 6, and 18. Meanwhile, two labor makes a set of palisades, at tile 3, and one forges some iron into iron ingots. One labor takes my two leftover chunks of food and breeds some horses up. The last three labor works in the Hall of Learning. Start researching the Plow, and then spend any extra effort on Magecraft. Hunter Militia and Shieldguard defend the town.

  Sunstone's glorious achievement prompts a flurry of somewhat militant fanfare, as the Ashara gleefully examine their invincible city from all angles. A sort of patriotic commitment to defend it also arises, or perhaps increases, as the magnitude of their achievement sinks in.
  Meanwhile, the decision is finally made to found a new settlement. Inspired partially by the fact that it will likely be able to pay for itself in short order, the command is given to begin preparations for a nearby silver-mining colony. While any citizen would no doubt be reluctant to leave the glorious walls of Sunstone, it is assumed the close proximity and chance for opportunity will be sufficient to procure volunteers.
  Military activity is somewhat scarce on the surface; only one expedition leaves the city's walls, and only to examine the merfolk in greater detail. Training is in full swing at The Spire, however, and the supposedly idle Talons help with the city's celebrations while recovering from their poorly-supplied marches. The workshops are also busy, and specialist healers find themselves in demand.

(You don't have any tin ingots. In fact, there's no such thing. You have tin ore. You can combine it with the copper ore you get from the mine and make bronze ingots, which you can then use to make a forge. I'm going to assume you want to do so. You still need 1 labor to finish it, since making the bronze takes 1 labor itself.)
Your explorers heading west go south a bit instead of due west because supply is getting a bit dicey. They don't find much. The guys going north, however, have a very eventful trip. They find a small spring-fed lake where the mussels make magic pearls, a deposit of tin ore, and, most significantly, another city! It's inhabited by orcs. They're militaristic, but not immediately hostile. After a brief exchange of greetings, your guys leave peacefully. Then they run away from some nasty green reptilian things that seem to like ambushes.
Back in town, you research construction, and the economy slumps. You let a bunch more food rot in the sun, and start a forge. Your new quarry uncovers more ore - silver, this time.

The big news is the settlers gearing up to build a new settlement to mine the recently-discovered silver. There's quite a bit of speculation that it'll be more abundant and less expensive than the highly-prized sky diamonds, so the less well-off are quite hopeful that they'll be able to afford some jewelry in the near future.
Things are otherwise pretty quiet. The men sent north, after spending months learning enough to communicate with the merfolk, that they seem to have little to offer. They find pearls fairly regularly and might be persuaded to trade some of them from time to time, but they don't seem to have any magical properties and would be useful only as jewelry. They seem too peaceful to serve as mercenaries, and as for slaves, the commander just can't figure out how they could do it. "How are we supposed to stick a knife to their throat when they're underwater all the time?" he asks. A new stratagem of keeping men in the air througout the daylight hours, watching for approaching threats is put into practice as well.

(Wow. I knew you were going to win this battle, but you didn't really deserve to stomp them quite this hard. Also, I realized that fortified hulls should probably reduce transport capacity, what with all the extra weight and all, and I was like... "they do now!")
The dark elves, having intuited the location of Xeniice and Copperflow from the presence of traders on the river, attack Copperflow in the spring. There are three identifiable units: A group of spearmen, one of cavalry, and a unit armed with what appear to be the elves' version of hexbone staves. Fortunately, the Peacebringers have joined the garrison already, and they are high-spirited and confident when Lt. General Duvale sends them into battle alongside the Oro Defenders and Nedici Guards. The battle is surprisingly brief. The spellcasters are highly skilled with their curses, slipping more than a few hexes past the wards on the Peacebringers' armor, but once they close to melee range they are cut down almost at once. Meanwhile, the dark elven cavalry and spearmen are wrestling with the swarm guards, but once the pikemen turn their attention to them, the cavalry is cut down quickly, and the spearmen beat a hasty retreat.
Back in Xeniice, the buildup continues with Nedici's new warship and the catapult that, it is hoped, will break down the dark elves' palisade. New forms of entertainment are gaining popularity, and better maps have started to emerge from the bards' pens. Plans for roads have started appearing, as well, and Galthor is quite taken with them.
