Quoted By:
The great hall of Ancron is overflowing with shell money earned from taxation at this point. There's more than enough to fund the maintenance of the town for several years to come. The chieftain and the saint squabble over what should be done with all of this toroc. Young Shabratin believes that the people should be granted a temporary reprieve from tithing and given the chance to accumulate wealth and enjoy these good years while they last. Older Chodral believes that this wealth should be spent on the warrior castes once more, to build them up for an assault on the chiefdom's enemies in the coming years.
Of course, the council of family heads, village leaders and other important figures get to have a say, to resolve this dispute between the two rulers.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">grant the people relief from taxation</span>. Let the people enjoy this time of plenty without needing to worry about contributing any of their shell money to the chiefdom. They deserve it.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">host grand and glorious festivals without equal</span>. Fine food and luxuries shall be bought en masse, so that the feasts of Ancron may become the stuff of legends and bring joy to all who attend.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">provide greater incentives to labourers</span>. With promises of great wealth, more tribesmen will be convinced to abandon their lives of subsistence to serve as copper miners or crop farmers.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">invest in the Sharovic and the Vuvovic alike</span>. The martial orders will be given permission to bolster their numbers once more, with little consequence for the chiefdom – for now.
Our civilisation could <span class="mu-s">devote resources to a great construction project</span>. A great structure of stone shall be built in Ancron that shall house the chieftain, the saint, the Cromavicibrul and other important texts.
