>>5519740The Kaiser walks alone in the palace halls, they aren't as featureless as when he took the throne, wishing to instill some warmth into his abode, as he is growing older and more fond of company. As his cane taps along the hall, he thinks of his family and his friends, he hasn't talked to any of them today, and his last parent died of old age 4 months ago. He doesn't like being alone anymore.
He opens the door to the dinner hall.
And a glorious celebration unveils, with whole roast Ettinschwein, spice, banners and everyone present. The largest banner congratulating Kaiser Hrudulf Kord von Steinhand on his 76th birthday. It would've taken years for someone to embroid the entire thing, though likely it took a whole team just one month, if not less. The Kaiser's usually stern expression melts away as he enjoys the great celebration. Even after it is over his demeanor has taken a significant shift.

Often spitting at them and kicking, it's been either hunted or herded by nomads. However, ever since the introduction of silk, the nobles have desired a soft cloth that is locally produced. And finally the endeavor has bore fruit, and then some. For while domesticating them, they have made them even softer. Instead of having llama-like wool, it now has alpaca-like wool. They are more vulnerable to predators, but a nice and solid fence should keep them where the farmer can see them, armed with a crossbow capable of taking down a bear.

The nobles have decided to codify and publish texts on their style of swordsmanship with the Feuergriff. In response several others have as well, not only detailing the grips and when to extend and retract one's blade, but also codifying a series of grip designs, with different pros and cons. In addition to this, a university is built in the Güldenvolk lands, and many a noble wants to know what sort of technique and design they would prefer.
