>"...Mephaestus offered them a choice between servitude and death. I suppose it fits for prisoners of war, but I still shudder at the cruelty of my new lord.">"...Lord Ferro decided to free them as a gesture of good will. The people will be happy to receive their sons and husbands back, however few may return. One moment cruel, the other merciful - the tidings of his soul remain an enigma to me...">Write-in what to do with prisoners"Besides that..."
>"...Lord Ferro gave me another task..." [write-in any additional tasks for Kaledorn, lord of Aemendun and your liaison with the other lords, or pass down tasks to other lords]>"...there was nothing. I will get to work on the missions set before me. May the Goddesses guide me in these dark times."Kaledorn shared that the province of Acen, which you have conquered, is known primarily for its agriculture and pottery. You should have no problem supplying your armies and constructing additional clay golems. In one of the sparse forests, there is a place of power where thunder often gathers, even during winter. Weapons may be enchanted for lightning strikes there, or the power may be harvested, if there are vessels ready to contain it. There are also undefended stone quarries in the eastern highlands. However, with no ready source of iron, you will have to either go south to conquer the mines in the Corrupting Mountains or find another way of obtaining equipment, like scavenging from dead enemy soldiers or smelting cooking utensils. Of course, all men-at-arms can be given basic leather armour, but the weaponry will be a problem still.
In the belltower, which has been repurposed as your quarters, you ponder your next actions.
>Write-in any other personal or ruling actions you may wish to attempt. Gathering rumours from street kids while without your armour, acquiring ingredients from local markets and attempting the creation of a simple artifact, summoning spells - anything goes, so long as it makes sense in-character.(picrel is the geography map of the twin continents, with:
