Act Three, Scene ... past.
... many years later. The city cemetery. An old artisan and an old warrior stand at the grave of Vasily's former servant, who later became the Keeper
I was still a child when he pronounced that memorable decree on the future of our people. We all lived in an aggressive world back then. Not all the monsters have been exterminated yet. Not every city could boast of a church and a hotel, there were no roads yet, and we survived with envy looking at the neighboring lands and their wealth. But he explained that our greatness is not in the seizure of new territories, not in migrants or in racial diversity, but in the ability to do simple things together, each his own. The greatness of the kingdom lies in ourselves, in our skills and abilities, in our tools and weapons, in supporting each other, in trust and observation.
Then not everyone understood it. but now, looking back at the years I have lived, at this beautiful town that has become a big city, at these roads and towers, this port and sails on the roadstead, I understand that if we had got involved in the war then, refugees would not have flocked to us and we would not be sitting here with you at the grave of this visionary man. So, I am grateful to him for the path he took himself and invited you and me. And even if our life was not the simplest, but it was complete and ends in joy and tranquility. Let's remember him!
The End.

The last month the Trader Enclave enjoyed festivities for the death of their most elder of all the Big Fat Traders the one that came out from Nexus and who perished couple months ago in attack of ice wurms.
Some of the most festive activities includede calculating various profits and here are three selected results: (1) most profitable activity: clearly trade good trading, especially if they can be delivered on same month; (2) most profitable manufactured product - longbow, that fetches good price in cities and useful also in other endeavours; (3) least profitable - leather armor, with poor price and minor outside usability.

With the opening of the new fishmarket in Isgrove, our advisors predict the fishing economy to take off by leaps and bounds. Our sailors can essentially live at sea, eating their catch and sending the rest back home. Experts warn the population not to think too hard about how this works or how old their fish may be.

Nope, sailing through land doesn't work across a peninsula,
either. We have no idea how the others do it, we always have
to stop and carry our ship across. Even when it is a
peninsula, not an isthmus that we are crossing. Perhaps it
is only possible to sail through the tip of the peninsula?

The Quartermaster Initiative has begun. It will take about 6 turns to complete, so until then each region of units will have to fend for itself silver-wise. Econquest has been implemented in the five main non-town regions, but those in the town itself will need to find a different way. Production and selling of certain goods is an option. Meanwhile, Econquest's reserve silver has been dumped into the production of iron and swords. Soon we will be strong enough to kill those Ice Wurms. They don't seem to have moved, and aren't currently a major threat, but that could change quickly. Anyways, all is going well so far.
The Sailors now leave for the south. May their new journey go well.
The Observers are definitely building a raft. Apologies to the faction I am intruding on. This will be the last time my units travel through your space.

Can the Carnival Be Saved?
As hope dwindles, some loyal fans and supporters have called for the carnival to rally and continue in Jobobo’s absence. Yet, without a strong leader to guide them, it’s unclear who, if anyone, could step into the enigmatic ringmaster’s shoes.
A group of performers has proposed seeking help from other mystical circles in Atlantis, hoping that a new figure with the right magical talents and vision could take up Jobobo’s mantle. Others argue that the carnival, with its unique blend of shadows and spectacle, cannot simply be passed on—it was Jobobo’s creation, and without him, they fear the essence of the carnival would be lost.
