[ooc]sorry for lateness[/ooc]

i like TWAD the way it is, but i understand the workload and if you wanna change i will still hang around

[ic=Speech to the people of Vandire]Cheiftan Manudre:  these have been tumultuous times friends.  we must thank the trinity for out victory and honor the soldiers who fought and died in our string of defeats. It is time we spread both in body and in spirit.  


From our enemies we have gained horses, they are similar to our hippos, but are less prone to kill us and easier to ride.  The unfortunate part of owning horses is they do not run well in the marsh and are only useful to us in the northern plains of our country.  Therefore we must continue our expansion to the north in order to benefit from owning these beasts.  The attacks from the Hadamut took a toll on our people, we must continue to train soldiers especially archers who will be assigned to outposts around our borders so that we are never caught unawares by an attack again.

Rashea and the trinity chose to bless us with great victory recently.  We must thank them by writing their teachings down for all to see and spreading the glory by equipping all traders with those books of the trinity so that all of our friends will see to whom we are truly aligned.  The great warriors who fell during this attack should never be forgotten so a memorial shall be created with the names of all who fell and a statue of the great Trinity at the top looking over their spirits and the spirits of all those who fight for our country     [/ic]

aww man this update was an emotional roller coaster for me

[ooc]orders for Vandire

1. more emphasis on taming and training hippos for use in life

2. establish police force to deal justice

3. explore and establish town/base out in the northwestern grasslands

4. research building materials for houses

5. improve military

6.change archer unit into composite archer unit and send to grasslands base/town[/ooc]

funny you should mention that Tillumni because thats my plan.  exactly my plan actually hippos would be the ultimate defense

[ic= Confused citizen to Chieftain]Chieftain through exploration we have discovered a a new dry land with green grasses and large trees.  we do not know how to live here for there is no mud to make houses and no river to plant rice in. What are you to do[/ic]

[ic= Chieftains response]Citizen do not fear the dry land. I believe you can conquer given the right opportunities with this letter i send a group of our finest archers to protect you as you venture out of the marsh. may rashea bless your travels and guide you into what is hopefully a fruitful endeavor. have faith

Chieftain Noil[/ic]

[ooc]have unit of composite archers escort this letter back. if i don't have on of those yet then i guess ill have to wait till next turn[/ooc]

that oh snap pic made me laugh

hippos are big lazy freeloaders

[ic= In the Chieftain's Council]Chieftain Noil: The plague is gone thankfully.  It would appear rashea decided to have mercy on our sinful people.  the Hippos must be the key.  If only we could get them to work with us without having so much life wasted.

councilman Lart: Chieftain the hippos were given to us by the trinity as a test.  we must dominate them no matter the cost to prove to them that the vands are strong.

Chieftain Noil: your words makes sense Lart. let it be known among the people that we will not yield to the will of these hippos.  We will master them, must master them for it is the will of the gods.

Councilman Krahs:  You know chieftain the plague may have been due to that fact that we are essentially mud people i mean sharing a home with insects can't be the healthiest thing in the world

Councilman T'Kesni:  Bugs are nothing you pansy.  but the bandits on the other are a big problem and the mud isn't helping as much as it could.  

Cheiftan Noil: alright fine we will try and find new building material and in the meantime establish a patrol of soldiers to protect from banditry rebels and assorted unlawfulness[/ic]

[ooc]orders

institute war masks
domesticate hippos
make hippo shrines
send group of people with freemen for colonization of a coastal town with archer escort (permitting response)
research resources and resource gathering techniques
research building materials
[/ooc]

you are so screwed

To this end, and considering the amicable relationships between our people, I request the hand of your son and heir, to be the Most Despotic Consort of Kuregn and to join our realms in personal union.



oh snap

[ic]Cheiftan Finhj of the Vands to Terarmischan Teschaeen VII, Tender of the Hearth


our fire lies in the hearts of our men, protected by the will of the divine.  Rashea and his brethren breathed life into us all and will guide our souls when that life has been shut out.  yes there are the winds of corruption constantly assailing   us it comes in greed and ambition and being idle.  We will not tolerate these things of our people and will not tolerate them among our friends.  The Divine created us, They pull the strings and They will punish accordingly.

This is our fire and we treasure just as much as you do your own.  you spoke of something that might threaten this. please speak again.[/ic]


[ic]Letter from Cheiftan Finhj to the Free Captains

Ah Friends i would like to personally thank you for the rice it is a near perfect crop for our land.  I really hope your people continue visiting us.  we have a few things you might be interested in and we are willing to give you a sample of these goods to both use and spread around to the other countries.

Also i would be grateful if you showed some of my people the coastline of our land. As of the present moment no vand has seen the ocean and I believe that the ocean will be an integral part in the survival of my people.  pending your permission i will send enough people to claim a section of unclaimed land in the name of vandire to set up a town there.  of course in good order you would be the main source for which to spread our goods.[/ic]
