>>5490746>Action 1: Woodcutter (crude Axe symbol)Another woodcutter is opened in the forest, again vaguely upriver of Lesh. There's always a use for additional wood.
>Action 2: Coal Mine (circle)The resource border map produced by the surveyor's guild showed a deposit of coal running beneath the swamplands of the eastern coast; and so a mine is established to dig this material from the ground.
>Technology 1: Great Spirit ShamenBoth Mages and Priests, the Shamen of Leshyr have served the kingdom since the first days of Lesh. As times have advanced, their understanding of their first powers of Bestiomancy has slowly grown, and other forms of magic with power of their own have been discovered around the world. To the Shaman's minds, it is the Great Spirit that empowers the flow of magic into the world and linking the magical and material aspects of creation together, empowering freedom and thought and even the creative works of man. Recent events have given cause for a shake-up of the order; the discoveries in the ruined city showing that there were once cat-elves among the priesthood of the Island-continent with enough influence to crown Human kings. Many rediscovered ways of the ancient city and the singers are also to be worked back into the Great Spirit faith as the religion adopts a more formalised structure that cements the Shamanic caste as a more important and integral aspect of our society (and will probably also result in more temple employment).
>Technology 2: Great Spirit MissionsAnother recent arrival on the isle have been the Aurigans; but their message of Draconic Gods is one that sits ill at ease with most Leshyrmen's sensibilities - whilst the Great Spirit faith does not preclude the idea of other gods, ones who demand sole obedience are an anathema. It is both fortunate and terrifying that those who came were carried away by their own Dread Dragon; and until the formal resolution of the 'Dragon Crisis' any further missionary attempts from the Dragons have been barred from entry. Nonetheless, such efforts are seen as a stopgap - to truly prevent such unilateral thought from returning, the war of ideas must be carried elsewhere to be argued in other halls. Shamen will be sent to other nations and places to teach them of the Great Spirit, and to learn from them more about the many ways we are still to discover that the mysteries of magic lie upon the world.
Production:
>Magic Draining Gems: 2 Gems, 4 Production.Such things constrained a Dragon's power once before. If the need arises again, they must be ready for us to use these implements.
>Wealth Policy: Candidate Vetting (5)It is important to select the right people to lead and guide the nation; with funds put into improving selection and weeding out candidates with obvious detrimental deficiencies we hope to raise the potential of any leadership we bring onto the King's council.
