>>6138584How they ride! How they clash! A grand tourney is held at the new jousting lists to celebrate the victory in war, however minor the rewards. Prizes are paid out to victorious Knights, whilst in a special ceremony a few veterans of the war known to have accomplished impressive feats amidst the conflict are anointed and themselves raised unto Knighthood by Duke Guyard.
>Action 1: LumberyardHaving supplied lumber-saws to the Adenai and Ordalan, it is considered well beyond time that we make one for ourselves. And so a yard for the cutting of lumber is established upriver of Rooin, that the timbers might be delivered to our capitol and beyond either by the traffic of the road or the flowing waters and barges of the Sainac.
>Action 2: Lessons of the Bahay SiegeAlthough the advantage of numbers and combat prowess eventually told at the relief of Bahay, the walls of the city had held the city's liberators at bay far more effectively then they had prevented the city from falling. And Bahay is far from the only known fortified position on the Orcmanie borders...
To that end, Duke Guyard looks to craftsmen, smiths and scholars of the Rexen records in the establishment of the Brise-sièges; a division of intelligent Orcmen in ducal employ with the goal to make fortifications yield more easily to the armies of the Orcmanie; be it through the hurling of trebuchet stone, the breaching of walls, the battering of steel rams on gates, the rising of ramps and towers or even the application of fire and tunnels. Whatever barrier is raised or dug against us, the Brise-sièges will allow our armies to overcome these trials.
