Use 60 of our Banked Gold and our 15 spending Gold to start rebuilding the damage done to our province. Make sure that the camps are up and running and the workers have food and shelter. We can use these as an area to start temporarily house refugees. Also use it to start buying seed from other provinces, which we will give to those affected by the attacks, so that we can have crops to harvest this season.

Use the 100 Gold the King graciously sent us to recruit 2 Knights, 4 Scouts, 10 Men at Arms, and 6 Longbowmen. We will use these to patrol the border and to attack any bandits we find. We can also use them to help escort refugees away from harm.

Update 4: 1503-1504.

The year began with a minor dispute between Arathor and Rtor over Sir Jonathan's rescue in the mountains. The dispute was meditated and both kingdoms remained at peace, to the relief of the peasants who were beginning to grow prosperous during the peace.

In this time the many lands of the 3 Kingdoms focused on building and gathering their resources. The only exception was when King Dashwood demanded that the Galley built by the Elderidge family be turned over to the Kingdom when Lord Elderidge himself failed to answer the king. It appears Kenethica is becoming weak, their army, still under the command of the king, is still the largest army of the kingdoms, but with no Lords appearing to support the King this army may not last.

In Arathor King Umbridge has granted Lord Stellenboch a new title and some land. Lord Stellenboch becomes Baron Stellenboch and is gifted Elwynn for his loyalty and promotion, may he rule there as greatly as he ruled in Thalas.

In the north of Arathor, Lord Tavadon began beefing up his personal security and with the departure of Sir Jonathan's troops was left to defend himself against their first bandit attack. The defense was successful with no loss of life for Lord Tavadon's force. For the rest of the year there were only skirmishes as the bandits shift their attention to another province.

Near the end of the year, in Zere Lord Von Krakenfeldt and his entourage were visiting the work camp when his group was ambushed by bandits. After a fierce struggle, the servants managed to drive the bandits off and carry a mortally wounded Lord Von Krakenfeldt back home. A doctor informs the family that the Lord may not have long to live. Sigmund, the son has assumed the day to day responsibilities of running the province as heir. Not yet aware of the changing situation in Zere, King Ander's letter for Lord Von Krakenfeldt arrived thanking him for the troupe of actors to engage the court.

Meanwhile in hopes of strengthing his ties with the other kingdoms, King Ander has proposed his daughter's hand, Cuivien, to Prince Richard Dashwood. The Dashwood family has accepted. He had also proposed that his son Prince Jason marry Umbridge's daughter, Princess Jaina, which too was accepted.

To your Majesty the King of Rtor, Scot Ander
From your most humble servant, Sigmund Von Krakenfeldt

My liege, this letter brings ill news. My father, Adolph Von Krakenfeldt I, lies dying in his bedchambers. The banditry plaguing Norland assaulted us on a visit to a small work camp in the mountains, driving a blade into his side.

The doctors tell us he doesn't have long to live, however no expense will be spared in nursing him in his last hours. He has requested, however, that if he dies before it comes time, that you attend his son's wedding, in stead of his father. In addition to this, he has requested a force be sent to Zere and placed under our control temporarily, to further facilitate the removal of these damnadable bandits and brigands.

Humble regards, Sigmund
 
I appear to have forgotten some of the additions to income... several provinces have seen an increase which I seem to have forgotten to add. The Stellenboch and Emmanuel families are the only two who did not see increases when they should have. Apologies. I will bank your extra income and you will have your new income after the update.

Also, for those having weddings it would be a good idea to include a date... for the moment I will assume they are fall weddings until otherwise told.


To the Von Krakenfeldt family
From King Ander


My family and I offer our deepest condolences for your loss, Lord Adolph Von Krakenfeldt was a great man and he will be mourned in the palace and the Kingdom of Rtor. My wife and I shall attend your wedding and I will personally bring with me an armed force for protection of Zere.
 
Spoiler :
Use our income to continue to rebuild our province and provide aid to our beleaguered citizens. Have our forces patrol the border and ferret out any bandit that may still be hidden within our realm
 
Update will be forthcoming... I have been busy today, but I have time set aside tomorrow to complete it. Sorry for the delay.

Update 5: 1504-1505

The year began with a sad day, Lord Von Krakenfeldt finally succumbed to his injuries and entered the other world, despite the best efforts of the some of the best doctors in the region. Sigmund Von Krakenfeldt assumed the title of Lord and after a brief funeral service in which King Ander attended, the province of Zere began to build up and take the fight to the Bandits with the arrival of Prince William and his force.

The saddened first month soon gave way to joyous celebrations and grand weddings on the horizon. All three kingdoms were hosting weddings and even a Lord from Rtor was getting married, it was truly a blessed year for many people. The first of such weddings occurred in Rtor, Prince Jason Ander wedded the Princess of Arathor, Jainia Umbridge, which was attended by the Royal families of Arathor and Rtor, as well as Baron Stellenboch who attended with his King.

The second of such weddings occurred in Kenethica as Prince Richard Dashwood weds the Princess of Rtor, Cuiven Ander. The wedding was attended only by the Royal families of Kenethica and Rtor.

Finally the third of such weddings was the modest wedding of Lord Sigmund Von Krakenfeldt to Catherine Strelkov, Lord Strelkov hosted the wedding by bringing the best food and wine for their guests which included the King and Queen of Rtor, who also met the heir to the Streklov family, Ivan. The lone guard hired for the occasion managed to keep an undesirable out without interrupting the festivities. Lady Catherine brought with her to her new home a dowry of 10 Gold.

King Umbridge welcomed a new lord to his realm, Lord Arlog. He was gifted Modan.

The kingdoms continued to develop and grow as the various lords strengthened their domestic income and security.

The mysterious disappearence of the Elderidge Family has still yet been answered, in any case the galley is now transferred to the King's Kenethican Royal Navy.

To Lord Sigmund Von Krakenfeldt
From King Ander


We are saddened to hear of the death of your father, Lord Adolph Von Krakenfeldt was a good man and capable administrator. If you desire any assistance, please feel free to ask. Also, congratulations on your wedding, it was a grand occasion and the Queen and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

To Lord Strelkov
From King Ander


The recent wedding in which your lovely daughter wedded Lord Von Krakenfeldt was a grand occasion and the Queen and I thoroughly enjoyed it.



OOC:
The Trollbane, O'Alta and Elderidge families are now gone from the Annals of history. May God have mercy on their souls. :(
