>>6111305Sabbaticals conquest of the plantation (and subsequent application to the position of head gardener) is simply the latest screw-up resulting from dropping entire barrels of growth potion everywhere.
From now on, every barrel of potion should be clearly labelled, and stored in metal containers just in case.
It is hoped these new safety standards should reduce the incidence of parasitic hive minds developing to only thrice per decade.
In other news, the nation of Vitruvia is formally portioned into four administrative provinces
Yellow: Hollvania
The province of the capital, populous and full of old secrets.
Blue: Lawinelund
A cold and mountainous province, rich in material wealth
Purple: Ehrung
A hilly province bordering the Barzaentines, this is our main “gate” to civilisation beyond the mountains
Green: Lanthorn
The lanternland, this province is dark, cold and has cultivated a fear of the dark in its residents.
Many stories exist of monsters to the north and west.
Action 1: Establish a new city in the mountains, “Helmsbrunnen”
Built atop a snowy cliff by a waterfall, this snowy city has an unbeatable view down to the jungle below. The population has grown enough to warrant a second city founding such as this, located at the headwaters.
The creation of this city will free up substantial room in the overcrowded Hohenholm, allowing the local resources of the mountains to be harvested far easier.
Action 2: Roc Taming
With the founding of a new city in the mountains, the Vitruvians direct their attention to the local horrifying giant birds that sometimes like to feast on their meat and bones.
Attempts are made now to pacify this threat and bend it towards the benefit of Vitruvia. Bribes of food are made, attempts to obtain eggs and start our own Roc Aviary near to the city, even investigating the possibility of developing Cavia strains based off of the roc that could help tame their brethren (though due to issues of size, it would have to be done when they are young).
