>AE
Vast jungle which separates the lake of the east and the Passage to Tuvolos in the west is brought into the fold. Such efforts reveal the Karnites have similar ambitions and that they are not the only powers here.
The Peacock men are an oddity, but an oddity that seems happy to work the fields and offer their feathers as part of their taxes. As birdfolk flock west, priests and labourers bustle north for the grand project the High Lord has planned around the lake. Monopods, foremost experts in the quarrying of obsidian after long turns as miners, are tasked with the great task of cutting the largest possible slabs for the construction of an enormous polished mirror which will serve as the floor of the temple to Tuvolos around his portal in the north.
>AH
Filling out of the borders is the work of the tyrn, north to the foot of the Friendship Wall and south to encompass other friends for their protection. No doubt they will prove a useful ally in this turbulent world. A third friend joins the Ahmosi from the coasts too, little bundles of feathery wonderment, though they seem resolute to stay close to the water.
Parhuami crewed ships head north reaching the edge of Tarnic waters, whilst the scouting army continues south to discover a small number of tanned scholars studying a wide shallow hole in the ground.
[NM] The priests do not know how it has happened, but during the night his divine majesty has died. With his death a new fruit grows upon the Deitree, or perhaps because of it.
>AU
Prospectors receive mixed directions but decide that recency of orders should take precedence and so head west. They soon turn in their reports of silver and lead in the separate dry plains, and also of a hitherto unknown but extremely well preserved complex of temples dedicated to some crocodilian god or group of gods.
The glassmakers meanwhile are hard at work improving their craft, having impressed the Namosi who landed on their shores and hoping to further impress the peoples of Vatua with their talents. They begin to work glass thinner than previously dared, grinding the sand finer to make a clearer product, and melting glass onto an open reed & blowing through it to make a bubble of glass which can be further manipulated.
>AV
Prospectors are sent out far across the Khanate once again, and though one of the four teams returns empty handed, the millet-valley team return with useful salt samples and the wall-coast team bring back samples of gold. The northern team however does not come back from the mountainous forests. Inhuman howls in the night have their families worried.
The Walls having now been surmounted, it is time to think of what to do with them. Plans have floated for many a tyrn of transforming them not into a walled city, but a wall city, and that is going to require food and materials.
[>CK] With much pomp the bear-mounted Avor drive the remaining sleuth from the outskirts of Prospith into forests nearer the horde.
