>>6138586As Queen Leutgard gets older, talk of who to elect as the next queen becomes more prominent. Princess Lucilla is regent, yes, but that is because the queen appointed her, when the next queen is elected she will be nothing more than another elector princess. Reports of the queen having gone missing down in the Vizari deserts causes further debate on who to elect, since there is always the possibility that she'll never return. The political situation of the churches is at an imbalance now. The followers of Janos holds favour but Schwaerz' followers are likely to take issue with this.
>Action 1: Search for mystical steeds east-southeast of Sturnes. Investigating reports of strange horses in the Ordalan forests.The woods of Ordalan are home to many strange sightings, some which have been repeated for all of Ordalan history, but some of the sightings are recent, only happening since the great war. Some of those sightings interest the nobles of Ordalan. Unicorns, Pegasi, Kelpie, etc. supernatural steeds which can do things our current steeds cannot. So rangers are sent into the less settled reaches of the forest, to capture some and find how to raise them, so we may use them as our new steeds.
>Action 2: Avila Linda's quest for the location of the legendary Sonbarr Fortress. A gamble to discover the truth of the origin of the gods.While the nobles argue over which elector princess should be the next queen, mostly an argument between the followers of Janos and Schwaerz, Elector Princess Avila of House Linda makes a daring bet. She is convinced that the Legend of the Arrowsong has some truth to it, despite the inaccuracies it contains. One detail is especially pertinent, the Sonbarr Fortress, which is a location that also appears in Orda Nixglau. If this location is real its discovery will revolutionize our understanding of the gods. Seeing as the losing party of the election would be upset with either election result, the elector princesses agree to Avila's wager. Avila herself is a follower of Schwaerz, so if she succeeds it will be a Schwaerz aligned rule, but if she fails, then the followers of Schwaerz will comply with a Janos aligned rule. Thus she gathers herself a retinue and departs northwards, first to the Barza mountains, then Guliseare mountains and beyond, in search of any strange formations in the mountain. She even enlists the aid of a number of lancers blessed by Janos, able to spark step along the mountain ridges.
>Military Plan: Search party for the queen and army marches to Vizari capital, from there they march upon the iron mines, cutting off any forces to the west.It is time to finally fight. It is a shame the Chariots are reduced, with the queen also going missing. A force is sent to recover who they can and see if they can find the queen. But the main force makes a plan for the Vizari iron mines, not only capturing them, but cutting off any Krovian forces in the desert while doing so.
