The Campaign Builder's Guild

[ic=To the Grand Hierarch of Kashtu]
Our gratitude cannot be expressed in mere words. We can only praise the Gods that they saw fit to place such a wondrous nation as Kashtu upon this world to be our friends and allies.

Of course your request shall be granted! Even as I write, scouts are riding throughout Zorvia, searching for the most beautiful, lush and fertile of valleys that we might give to you for your purposes.

On behalf of the Sacred Council,
Matriarch Tsehha[/ic]

[ooc]Kashtu Orders:
Build trade/temple centers in formerly Celenite lands, as well as in Zur'a, Nem-Ammar, and Zorvia. These will be fairly modest temples, but still suitable for administration of ecclesiastic courts. Attempt to build such a trade center in or near a sea port of the Archonate.
Sue for peace with Kuregn.
Expand trade within the Archonate.
[/ooc]

[ooc]ORDERS

[/ooc]

[ooc]Final orders:
Send/leave the following message to Hayrine villages freguently raided by Andosen forces:
[ic=The Mercy and Justice of the Ryvan-Holme]We decree that, by our mercy and the Justice of Andos, any who wish to have peace with us must simply sever any and all ties to Connetar Eney.  If you do this well and early and faithfully, then whoever rules your area will even be allowed to retain their soverignety, as long as that is not Connetar Eney or his succesors.  This we solemly promise you.  For we have decreed that this is a war of the Tree; we fight in the name of peace.  Your Connetor gives a bad name to you, Hayrines.  His fiendishness is why many of us viewed you as Demons.  He sent his assisin to kill our Vrena and willfully broke the peace.  There can beno peace until he and his assasin are in the ground.  This is why we war, for peace. not because we hate you.  Any who kill him in the name of Andos and delivers his head to us will be surely rewarded.  And only then may we be freinds.[/ic]
If:

in the unlikly event that most or all of the Hayrine villiges wish for peace and/or the Connetor and his men are executed and hostilities towards Andos cease, then the Hayrines will be invited into the allience under Stravam with Andos and Ivran.  Any noncompliant villages will be sought out and crushed.

The war is too long and costly for Andos and the Connetor is defended, villages affiliated with the Connetor will be destroyed rather than raided.

Try to sneak into Hayrine coastal villages and burn/steal docked ships at night

Try to assualt the Hayrine city or wherever else the Connetor is believed to be

Use the Ivruskan springy wood to develop better bows and slingstaffs

Develop larger sling-staffs that can hurl larger and more damaging loads, or even increase range

Continue constructing the road to Sorghedai

Integrate Ivran into Andos more, with speacial attention on making the next generation of Ivran warriors bloodier and less ceremonial.[/ooc]

[ic=To Otahvy]
Dear Mandrian Brothers,

The Council has come to the decision that the only way for the Mandrian coast to be safe from the wretched Hayrines is for you to repel them.  For if you fall, then all shall be lost for the both of us.  We will be sending our soldiers up to help you fight off any sieges or large battles.  Together, we can save the coast!

For the balance of the four,
Renzo, The Councilor of Fire

[ic= in the royal palace council chamber]

"look, I tell you, west is where it is, the south's too cluttered and who knows what the despot of Machta-kuregn might be planning if we go there"

"West, North, South.....seriusly, you guys are waaay ahead of yourself"

"can't harm planning ahead"

"yeah, easy for you to say, you got the resources to expand into any new domain, not having to rebuildt your lands from tens of years of warfare!"

the talk got cutted short, before it could heat up eve nmore though, when one a servant entered the room

"oi, hush, the king's comming...let's just start with presenting the things we do agree on, and we can start disagreeing the rest of the day after that"

there was a general murmur of more or less grumbled agreement as the nobles calmed down and composed themself for todays meeting [/ic]

 [spoiler=aboud the nobles of Avardera]
The Noble houses of Avardera is a diverse group, and the kings indirect represent for the day to day running of what ever region is thier domain.
originally consistering of the must powerfull families, 2.nd only to the Meas line, leading little more then a single village each at the beginning of Avarderas story, the houses have slowly grown in power and importance with the growth of thier domain, more of the day to day admistration falling into thier hands and recently, becomming a main component of Avarderas army, having the resource and the time to train themself, mainly for figthing from chariot.
also, some families have also been ennobled due to thier actions or importance over the course of Avarderas history, these new nobles, often do not controll large lands, or mainly frontier lands, and many of them have found a niche in trade or specific craft. ranging from those that essentially are trade houses or houses that specialise om trade and craft ranging from chariot building to teaching, often marrying particulare skilled common people into thier house too.

at thier worst, they are like a high disfunktional bunch of siblings, all bickering and trying to push Avardera toward what ever course they feel is best for her (or themself) at thier best, they are a highly diverse group, which allows Avardera to perform operations and projects on a scale that normally won't be possible by the king himself.

for all thier power though, then must of them rarely think of breaking away, being well aware that the Meas line is neccesarely to keep Avardera on a consisting and stable course, and many accepting the fact that the Meas line is the one that have been chosing by the spirt of the land. with that said, then the kings whisper have had to uncover both assasination attempt and schemes from people amounth the noble houses before.

[ic= in a market in illneress] "what you doing with these things?" "oh, the silver leaf? you hadn't heard?" "no?" "oh..well, appearently then the King of Avardera have announced that when they manage to refine them properly, then there's going to be a one : one exchange rate of the old coins for the new coins for a limited period."
"....that's a risky long shot"
"well, I'm not risking more then I can afford to lose...notlike they don't still have thier worth"
"and what if it doesn't happen in your life time?"
"well....I heard there's this new town in Avardera by the river ....guess I could retire some place nice there with these coins, find a cute Avarderan gal too"[/ic]
