Our civilization grows, both in its worship of the savior the Red Snake and the integration of the Rex's new vampiric advisor. We inquire as to why the sylvians did not come to our aid, but they remain silent, citing that while you are friends, and may share blood, the decision was theirs to make and seemed to be the prudent one to make at the time. For what it's worth, they're glad at the outcome, but your relations have been somewhat strained as a result.
The Rex has one son this age, while his female cousin ends up having three children; a male and two females in that order.
And so, we move onto the 8th Age.
>...Our population as of the 8th Age:
Don't mind the smaller children count, I'm just refining my population growth statistics because I kept ending up with numbers of kids in excess of 50% of a total population which just isn't realistic, but my new formula won't let that happen.658 Children
1139 Hunters
973 Gatherers
423 Warriors
35 Warrior-Priests
15 Seers
33 Sylvians
17 Half-Sylvian
1 Rex
1 Vampire
1 Naga

Our random events for this age are as follows:
1) A massive meteor streaks across the sky, and lands nearby. History seems to repeat itself; just as in the 3rd Age, this impact creates a massive explosion. This one, however, is much closer than the previous; it is one hex directly south of us, on the southern end of the lake. All of our people are capable of looking at it across the water, seeing the fires from home. Fear races through your people; what if this is another monster? To this day, the eggs of the first beast can still be seen in the ocean. Is there some kind of connection?
2) The Rex of this age (the fourth) is captivated by a beautiful girl in the village, and immediately marries her. In short order, they successfully produce three children; a female, followed by two males. But this creates an issue; up until now, the former Rexes have only produced male heirs; this is the first one to produce more than one child, and the first is a female. What is to be the nature of succession? Can there be a female Rex, or is it to go to the firstborn Male in the family? What if a Rex produces no children, or only females? Much discussion is born out of this union.
3) This age, a monument may be constructed by our people. It can take whatever form we desire, given reason and technological limitations. The form, purpose, and overall role in our society may be determined by us, from a statue to a temple to an open space of some variety, or otherwise.
What is our reaction to these events?
