>>5597607the Skylari defenses are completely broken. the country could be considered fallen by some already, however there are some partisan groups that must be rooted out before the land is under full Imazeeb control
>>5597420>1im sorry man, but with a natural failure you are not capturing anything
>>5597118your delegation is taken to Nirvica and lead to a grandiose, windowless, but well lighten hall somewhere on the quarter deck filled with finely dressed elderly men. its safe to assume that its their parliament.
an interpreter comes forward, who starts by apologising for not being fluent and explains while hes lives purpose is to practice this tongue -exactly for situations like this-, its not easy when he is the only in hes civilization do so. in fact yesterday he was living in the belief that hes the only one in the world.
then it is explained that Nirvicas people set sail thousands of years ago to the advice of their God. it has been hundreds of years ago that they last encountered land, meaning no local has ever witnessed it before. some has even assumed that "land" is only a metaphor.
afterwards the politicians start indirectly talking. they assure you that their intents is exactly as peaceful as yours -regardless of that much be-. they have no intent of setting foot on your land and they will depart soon.
however they are open for trading, both knowledge and goods. the former meaning mostly ores, you see, they have been slowly running out of them. when asked details, an astronomical quantity is spilled that they would require. as is, suddenly removing so much value from your economy would surely cause a great depression. in exchange they offer a sapling of Nirvica and all knowledge on how to raise it.
after some confusion it turns out Nirvica is not a ship per se, it is the name of a tree (visible on front) and the ship is made up of its living roots. this tree is as old as their people and served as their home even before it were converted to a vessel. this tree species is extremely resilient, regenerates quickly and not lastly considered holy and enjoys the blessing of the Gods. it can be used to grow arbitrary structures.
