What is hidden, must be revealed

Monsters attack

The swamp is larger and the coastline hasn't ended yet.
There is a continent to explore. A continent very near our own continent.
We will baptize the sea between both continents the "Strait of Lentrun".
The sailors also have a name for it.
They call it the "Short sea".

"The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley." Robert Burns, To a Mouse.

Dissapointed!

Happy trip!

#sigh, Crypt attack doesn't happen on Advance orders. So this turn is Attack orders!

We have a new ship.  Bigger than before! It will carry more trees.  Now we just need some place to go.

Woof!

FROM A LEADER'S DIARY - THE THIRTY-SECOND MONTH
===============================================

I. ON LEAVING THINGS AS YOU FOUND THEM
--------------------------------------

A road is a strange gift. The men who lay it rarely walk it twice,
and the traveller who walks it never asks who set the stones. We
have begun to think that is the right way round.


II. ON THE SKY
--------------

The old herders say a horse that will not touch the ground is a
horse that was never meant to be owned. They may be right. They
also said the same of every new thing they ever saw.


III. A QUESTION FOR THE WISE
----------------------------

Is a teacher who learns from his pupil still the teacher? We have
had three such afternoons this season and have not settled it.

Quest: Build a Temple in Besburn for the glory of the Gods.

The world has been almost entirely explored. AI terrifies everyone. And the heavens play along.

A raven arrived at the Konungr's hall. It carried a small piece of paper.

The Konungr read it aloud:

"Notice: A package from the Gods is waiting for you at the nearest temple. Please collect it in person. Bring identification. The temple is open from sunrise to noon, except on Thursdays, when it is open from noon to sunset, but only for sacrifices."

The Konungr stared at the paper.

"What package?"

The raven said nothing. Ravens never say anything useful.

So the Konungr walked to the temple. He stood in line behind a farmer, a priest, and a man who was arguing about a goat. When he finally reached the window, the temple-keeper looked at the paper and said:

"This is the wrong temple. You need the one across the fjord."

The Konungr closed his eyes.

"I am the Konungr," he said, slowly. "I own this land. I own that temple. I own the fjord."

The temple-keeper shrugged. "Still the wrong temple. Next!"

The Konungr went home. He never got the package. He never found out what the gods wanted to send him.

And honestly, he suspected it was a spoon.

These overlords know how to build suspense.

something is brewing....

The Grey Order reports peace and progress across its holdings.

A large congregation of crocodiles which had been threatening people and livestock in the lowlands has been dispatched by Order patrols. Elder Eric confirmed the beasts were cleared, though not without cost. Two novice brothers were lost in the fighting. They will be remembered.

The builders have completed the new road connecting Disarheim to the mountains, opening the high passes for trade and supply.

Work continues apace on Top'o Fort, which the Order expects to complete this month.

more times less messages

Badvoc wrinkled his nose. "I can't see your problem, Aulus. " He slurped at his mead, then gave a particularly loud belch.  "So your Emperor is coming here.  What's the issue with that?"

The other man frowned. "I've been sending him monthly reports saying that this is a clean and well-run province with a loyal and hard-working population."

Badvoc nodded as comprehension dawned.  "Oh dear.  Now I can see your problem."

The great ones speak, and nations heed their call,
While we inherit what they leave alone.

Their wars redraw the borders of the earth,
Their feuds decide which gods shall rise or fade.
Yet empires crumble, crowns forget their worth,
And roots grow deepest where the light decays.

So let them rule the heavens and the sea,
Let ancient powers cast their shadows wide.
For those who live where none are meant to be
May outlast all who stood in open light.

Mighty fleets indeed now ruled the seas.... pity they werent ours..

Intransigence is all around

The city has been captured, and the poor guards have been slaughtered (it must be said that, from an ethical standpoint, we would have much preferred not to kill them; instead, we would have liked to assemble a force ten times their size and offer them the chance to join our ranks without any bloodshed—maintaining such a band of leaders would be costly, to be sure, but far more aesthetically pleasing). The nearby town of Soshyn has also found a new master; consequently, every city we have encountered is now under the control of player factions.

And so, the time has come to exact revenge upon the 143rd Silicate Band for killing one of our orcs. The North Remembers. Although it is unwise to discuss a battle before it takes place, so be it: we are exceptionally well-prepared, having managed to steal all crossbows from our opponents before the clash even began. It was only then that we realized there wasn't a single tactician nearby who could join the fray. Now, we must send a tactician galloping in from afar, hoping that everyone who is supposed to join the battle actually manages to do so.

Dear Mr AI Overlord. What are we waiting for?

for the revenge of the couple scouts, evil mages and sorcerers are going down!

"The Self-preservation Society"

And so, the great Undead migration commences.

Waiting to see the Overlord.  And trying to avoid wasteful fighting with neighbors.

Oh no, the Overlords are coming to take over the world. Pffft.. we've heard that one before.

The presence of winged horses has made the plains a pretty sight, but sadly many of the soldiers of the Four Winds have to clear up the mountains of air-dropped manure that cover the plains.

There are 4 left...

I wonder if it's national? Fight only as part of a crowd, hiding behind the backs of minions?
