Four people on the plains again, at tiles 2, 10, 3, and 11 for food, two on the woods, at 1, and 7, and then have two labor make bows. The last labor builds a hunter's camp at tile 1. The Shieldguard takes Lius and searches to the Southeast, following the river. Start researching Farming.

Rumors from passing nomads speak of a great lake the the river empties out into, and Lius convinces Nath to allow her and anyone who wishes to follow her to try to follow it to its end.

Research into farming techniques goes very well, and many are wondering why no one had thought of this decades ago. Meanwhile, the new hunting camp built north of town will also do its part to help provide food.

Sunstone's researchers make a breakthrough in the study of farming fairly quickly. As if in celebration, several years of perfect weather cause the plains outside the city to yield an abundance of food. During these same years, the researchers learn a lot about how to tame and breed animals for food and wool. Meanwhile, construction in the forests goes as planned, which is almost a letdown.

(FYI, if you had gone to the end of the age without touching tile 5, I'd have stuck a Grove of the Spirits there. Dunno exactly what it would have done.)
Lorzanth's explorers finally get a little luck. Further to the south, they find the plains drying out and thinning, as they become rockier and hillier. At the southmost reaches of their explorations, the earth is downright barren and sandy. Of more immediate interest, however, is the substantial pile of rocks they locate in a small gully. They're hard, durable, and just the right size to lug back home. It takes most of six months to haul them to town, but, eager for something useful to show for their explorations, they do it without complaint.
The Nedici also make an interesting find. The river flows through the open plains, and after a time, the explorers find the same dry, sandy terrain to the east. Along the river, however, the land is just as lush as before. In one rocky outcropping, exploration yields a few pebbles of an odd green substance which, when scratched, reveals a hard, red-brown material beneath. This seems important to them, although they don't know why.
Things back in Xeniice go nicely, as well. Research goes very well. Knowledge of hunting is back up to where it was in the gnomes' nomadic days - maybe even a bit better - and this somehow seems to lead people to give more thought to the spirits of the world around them. Nobody is quite sure how that happened, but the spirits seem to like the attention. Construction of the new assorted resource-gathering facilities goes according to schedule, and the workers at the new quarry find a brittle red stone that they think is somehow significant.

Xeniice, turn 8:

Spoiler: Fluff (click to show/hide)

A casual observer would note that the political situation of Xeniice remains the same. Unfortunately, relations between the families continue to worsen, and the major families are usually unable to agree enough to cooperate. Growth has fallen off to nearly nothing.

Azuri, fearful of eventual reprisal for the reclamation of the farmlands, have dedicated an area to the spirits, with a grand shrine built in their honor. Even the Kalron grudgingly admit that it is impressive.

Oro has grown relative to other families, thanks to some smaller families merging with them, and build workshops with special tools which they hope will facilitate the production of shields and spears.

The other families, uncomfortable with the decreasing quantities of food, begin to ration themselves slightly and build small storehouses for their excess grains.

Lozanth experiences a brief resurgence for the stone they found. After much heated debate, they decide to donate most of the stone to Azuri, and help with the construction of the shrine. Surely the spirits will appreciate their sacrifice, and aid them.

Nedici continue exploring the river, gambling their future on their ability to find something which will set them apart from and above other families.

Spoiler: Major People and Families list (click to show/hide)

This section is mostly notes to myself, so I don't have to keep looking back at my fluff from previous turns.

Governor Galthor - Patriarch of the Arlenth family. He has earned the respect of many other family heads, and acts as a sort of spokesman for the council, (usually) keeping the family heads from conflicting such that one family or the other leaves Xeniice. Some complain about his apparently greater power, but most agree that his compromises are mutually beneficial. He believes that greater benefit will come to families that work together then will come to families who insist on behaving greedily.

Governor Unthan - Galthor's replacement.

Duaro - New patriarch of the Lozanth family. He is innovative, and cares little for tradition. Despite his frequent, purposeful social Faux Pas('s? es?), enough of his family liked him to choose him as Mjolar's successor.

Ilasi - Matriarch of the Kalron family. She is quite arrogant, and encourages her family towards wasteful decadence.

Raalth - Matriarch of the Azuri family. She is kind, and highly spiritual.

Boranth - Patriarch of the Oro family. He is greedy, and seeks to improve both his and his family's position by any means. Boranth is a fairly small family.

? - Matriarch of the Nedici family.

It seems the spirits do favor Xeniice. A small earthquake cleaves open a hill south of the city, and a small stream flows out. The gnomes who examine the new feature find tiny flecks of a soft yellow material in the streambed, and the fields downstream flourish with rich golden grain.
In more mundane matters, things go almost as well. Goats and sheep have been thoroughly domesticated, and the people of Xeniice feel rightfully proud of all they have learned over the last few decades. A new shrine honoring the spirits is built along the river, and the new workshop and scattered granaries are ready as well. Lozanth's scouts find nothing but open plains, but Oro's have more luck. They find a seminomadic tribe of humans who hunt, fish, and forage in the fertile land near the river.

Why turn 8 end and not turn 9? Simple.
End of Age 1
Here we go, people. Post your end-of-age reports in this thread, but you are encouraged to post something in the discussion thread for comments and editing first. Then I'll adjust your stuff, give everyone a chance to say "Hey, this doesn't fit with what I imagined", and we can start turn 9.

Xeniice, turn 9:

Spoiler: Fluff (click to show/hide)

Duchess' Throne Room
A moderately large stone room, held up by four pillars. A few of the rare woolen rugs decorate the room, and an exotic reptile skin traded from the "giants" years ago hangs behind a large chair at one of the room.
The Duchess meets with a representative each from Lozanth and Oro. Four bards listen to the meeting, and one records the important details on a valuable piece of vellum.

Lozanth Representative: "My Lady, our masons have finally finished building sturdy stone houses, enough for all. After those accidents in the Oro and Lozanth districts, our masons learned from their mistakes, and partially built houses stopped collapsing in the night. We shall continue to build more as needed, but we are ready for our next assignment."

Quara: "Good. Their next task is nearly as important. The bards have developed a brilliant method of making words permanent. I want a grand building to store these writings, where all may read them and benefit. Additionally, our sheep herds have grown to levels never before heard of. The shepherds claim to have enough to provide the wool to clothe everyone. Build workshops in the Arlenth district. I suspect they will be thrilled at the prospect of weaving clothes for all citizens of Xeniice. This will allow everyone else to spend more hours working, and in the comfort of quality clothing.

I believe it is time to resume explorations. Nedici are not to resume their contact with the giants yet. Lozanth's troops will remain here, while Oro's troops will continue scouting."

Oro: "My Lady, I do not question your orders, but please explain."

Quara: "Lozanth's shields make their troops more ideal for guarding Xeniice, while the lack of shields will allow the Oro troops to explore more easily."

-=-=-=-=-=-

In the Hall of Learning, a small group of workers, discontent with the way their families run their lives, discuss possible alternatives with the Bards. Mainly, how they could get food without their families giving it to them, and without becoming a bard.

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

The First Duchess, Quara the Great - Ruler of Xeniice. She is highly charismatic, and fears instability. Allied with: Lozanth, Oro, Bards. Wary of: Nedici. Dislikes: Kalron, Azuri, Arlenth.

Oro: The largest family in Xeniice, and one of the two most powerful. They seek to maintain their power primarily by supporting The Great One with military force. Allied with: Quara, ~10% of minor families. Supports: Lozanth. Dislikes: Kalron, Azuri, Arlenth, Nedici.

Lozanth: One of the two most powerful families in Xeniice. They seek to maintain their power primarily by supporting The Great One's public works. Allied with: Quara, ~15% of minor families. Supports: Lozanth. Dislikes: Kalron, Azuri, Arlenth.

Nedici: The third most powerful family in Xeniice is also the most willing to adapt quickly to new situations. They seek to improve their prestiege and wealth in Xeniice from beyond its metaphorical walls. Allied with ~5% of the minor families. Neutrality sought with: All.

Kalron: This family is willing to use any underhanded tactic or strategy to succeed. They seek to improve their power primarily by subtly weakening Oro and Lozanth. Allied with: Azuri, Arlenth, ~10% of the minor families. Dislikes: Quara, Lozanth, Oro, and Nedici.

Azuri: This family is the most in tune with the spirits. They seek to improve their power primarily by winning more minor families to their side. Allied with: Kalron, Arlenth, ~20% of the minor families. Wary of: Nedici. Dislikes: Quara, Oro, Lozanth.

Arlenth: This family is the most traditionalist. They seek to improve their power primarily by proving themselves as more "worthy" then other families. Allied with: Kalron, Azuri, ~5% of the minor families. Dislikes: Quara, Oro, Lozanth, Nedici.

Neutral minor families: The remaining 35% of minor families choose not to align themselves with any major families. Their viewpoints are quite varied.

Bards: They are the intellectual faction of Xeniice, such as it is. They have no family affiliations. Allied with: Quara.

* The percentage of minor families is figured based on population, not number of minor families.

1 stone stored - 1 used = [1/20] stored.
1 wool produced = [1/20] stored.

Four people on the plains, at tiles 2, 10, 3, and 11 for food, two on the woods, at 1, and 7, and then have one labor make a hunting camp at tile 7, and the other one makes a farm on tile 18. The last labor works in the Hall of Learning with the sage. The Shieldguard takes Lius and searches to the West. Start researching Shamanism if I don't have it, your post shows me having it and being able to research it, else wise research Animal Husbandry. Hunter Militia train and send the Shieldguard out exploring with leader up into the northern woods.

Chief Nath : Still young and unexperenced, he is said to be favored by the spirits. However, his dreams are haunted with disaster.
Kulth : The tribal historian, who knows the lore of times past. Old an wizened, he wishes all these younguns would stop bothering him so much.
Tiorv : The Chief of all Shamans, what she doesn't know about the tribesfolk could barely fill a drop of rain. Rumors that she uses this to blackmail people are completely false. Really.
Lius : Kulth's great granddaughter, she has a zest for life that brings her many admirers, but seems happier out in the wilds then in the village. (Explorer Leader 1)
