>Tie between Vine and Elephant - rolling for it, 1 - Vine, 2 - Elephant>Assumed name "Mephaestus Ferro">Real name hidden to all but who knew the BBEG long years ago "Richard Calloushand"Since this merges three votes, I will count it as winning.
...
Between the great cities of Noen, or, indeed, any other country, there is vast wilderness sprinkled with the occasional village and town. The city folk look down on these lands. They consider them "undeveloped", "rough". The wisdom of a true ruler, however, recognizes their value, for it is from these wilds the nation draws most of its resources, both magical and common, and here resides possibly half, if not more, of a state's population.
It is in these wilds that you have risen, conquering town and village alike in rapid, merciless action.
The local lords tried to gather the militias to oppose you. The clang of steel, the shouts of men, the dull thumps of golems crushing their limbs into men-at-arms, and the noise of the elementals' strikes still echo in your ears. But the battle is won now, however high the casualties were for your side, and the couple thousand militia men have dwindled to 400 prisoners at your mercy.
While you may be the only power in the region, your grasp on it is tenuous. The golems can fight, but they can't <span class="mu-i">rule</span>. For that, you will need the help of locals.
The desire for slaughter, luckily enough, remains sated with the recent battle for now. Though a few hundred men dead by your hands would be very welcome at any time, these urges lay dormant for the next couple of years at least. The danger is that these appetites grow in scale with time... But there are more pressing matters than your madness, for now.
