Great trade continues to flow through my nation from yours, if you would entertain more, congenial links with my nation perhaps we could work together to harvest this bounty for the benefit of us both?

There was a small village with a population of about three hundred people. It was a rather destitute city and was near the borders and fringe of the nation’s border. The people there lived a rather simple life, farming, and cutting wood. On one autumn evening however, I was talked to be the city leader’s messenger.
“Can be done with farming and raising the livestock and you can come into town where all the rest of us are waiting for you to come.”
I happened to respond
“Do I really have to go? What’s the point of even going there? I thought that farming would continue and only end later at night”
There is an important message the local Wiseman wants to deliver to the entire city”
“Yet another speech?” I asked annoyed and irritated.
I don’t think you understand this is of extreme importantce. Something that can affect the entire nation.
“Alright fine! I will go to this dang meeting of yours.”
So with this the messenger and I both went to the city center where I saw all the other villagers sitting around the fire. Some of them were eating fried scorpions, others were eating rodents, but regaurdless after much talking all of the people silnced themselves as the Wiseman spoke to the crowd.
“People, you must know of something that is to happen to this village. Even I admit that we live in a petty and insignificant place. However, the great unknown that a blessing will strike this town has messaged me. It told me that, we are to be given control of something so powerful it can change the human mind itself.”
With this, the people left wondering the event that was to come. However, I didn’t really think that this was of any importance. I also thought that this was just some random crap which was given just to keep the people occupied. So I left off muttering and snickering about these events.
The next day though I had woken up at a very early time just to go back to the farming that had always happened. Therefore, I picked up the sickle and started to hack away at the plants when I had come across something strange and unfamiliar to my eyes. I had hacked that one away and kept it so that the local alchemist could look at it.
That midday however I had prepared to eat some scorpions and rats that were roaming around the village. I had no other type of skewer that I could put it onto the thus I used part of that plant I had taken from the field before. However, when I put it onto the hanger on which the animals could be roasted the stick broke in which I responded
“Argh, why did this have to happen? No I have to go find somemore food that I can use because all of this are burnt.”
However, when it broke it defiantly had a different smell than I had ever known of beforehand. It seemed that this was a smell that I counldn’t get away from. It was just too strong and thus I sat for a few moments.
After that however, I became in a hyperactive state where I had spoken in a language that was unintelligible to everyone. I began to bounce up and down and go into circles. The chanting and yelling was so loud and distinct that I had never even imagined it could happen.
Thus, when I had left that state I was surrounded by a large mass of people just looking at me with a blank stare. Then when the supreme Wiseman spoke to the crowd.
“The great unknown was right. It told me something would happen and come as a blessing and a sign when the blessing was to happen. He is the one who sent the message that it had come through.”
Thus, when I came and showed him this plant he finally realized that what the great unknown had said came to be a reality. With this, I lost all doubt of the great one and I became a very devout Observationist after this moment.

Your Opium poppies disappeared as a resource in update 7b. Resources come and go; as a rule they do not last forever. In the case of your popioes, they became commmon enough elsewhere to diminish their value to you.
About your project, The only mention of the work "project" in your orders was my use of it in the stat list. Under "goals" you did have a huge list of every progress known to man that you expected to accomplish. I'll pm you the gory details later this morning.
I thought I did have it under projects. Did I really not?

Your insipid suggestion is marred by its decadent italics, men of honour and strength know only bold!
Or you could send a PM with what you're actually proposing...
I believe that, at this point, Update 8 is complete: all updates, all maps, all stats, all exploration maps, and all the lost boys have been put to bed. If you feel that you are missing something, please let me know.
Update 9 Orders due Saturday June 21st.
This will be another 10 year turn from 451-460

The seventieth mortal to lead worship of the glorious god Wendar, the High Priest; to the King of the North, at whose steps the oceans flee:
Hear the words of the god Wendar!
“Am I a piece of chaff in the wind, that I would blow first one way, then another? Did I not say to you to build a temple worthy of me and my presence would never depart from it? Therefore, since I, a god, have said these things, do not despair! Do not think in your hearts that I will forget my promise to you because the years pass by. For what is a mortal’s lifespan to me? I blink and it is gone. But instead hearken unto my voice! The house you are building for me is not yet worthy of me. Therefore I will visit, but will not stay, I will sit, but I will not sleep. But as you are my son who has listened to my voice, I will have compassion on you, my mercy will well up like a spring-time flood. I will send you gold, and silver, and precious stones, the value of which is [0.5 EP]. I will send a spirit of divination upon my servant Michawen and he shall direct you, to construct a temple worthy of me.”
Am I not a loyal steward of what the god has given to me? Therefore I will do as he commands. You also do what he has commanded, that when you go to your fathers Wendar will embrace you as a faithful son.
To: Kiidor
The seventieth High Priest of the god Wendar, at whose table the heroes feast; to the King of Kiidor, at whose feet flows a stream of gold:
Thus Wendar has spoken, hearken unto his words!
“The songs of joy from your people fill my hall. Is it not because you have hearkened unto my voice and I have sent to you blessings as innumerable as the stars in the sky? But where are the signs of your thankfulness? Where are the temples built to honor me? Where are songs of praise sung to me? Where are the gold, the silver, the precious things dedicated to me? Where does the aroma of sacrifices offered to me fill the land like a sweet perfume? I was wroth, and my anger kindled against you, for I thought you had forgotten me. Yet my servant, the High Priest stood before me. Night and day he pleaded before me. So many sacrifices were offered to me that I threw up in the eating. So my anger was stilled, my wrath passed away like a summer storm. But I wish to educate you in how to please me, lest my wrath return stronger than before! Therefore I will send you priests, and they will have with them [0.5 EP] to build temples to me. Then they will teach you my ways. And if you follow them, I will deal with you favorably, for I am a god! But if you do not honor me, I will withdraw my hand from over you, and the evils which I have held back will fall upon you, so that you will beg for the earth to swallow you up.”
My lord, we listen to the voice of the god, as obedient children. Let you also listen to the voice of the god lest you strive against a god, and be found wanting!
