We now possess the knowledge of philosophy, priesthood and bronze working. Additionally, we learnt horseback riding and knowledge of the ether from the Bannor people in exchange for teaching them the art of soap operas.
Lo, in the year of the fateful used handkerchief the tradition of melodramatic storytelling began to spread from elvish lands, leading to great wailing and gnashing of teeth around the world.
This leaves us at a crossroads. We could go for feral bond and commune with nature, perhaps picking up poisons along the way. Or we could research bowyers, mass longbows and go kill someone.
Our first priority, however, is to plant lots of trees so here's a look at what's going on in our cities:
After those builds some priests are in order.
A
note on Bruti: After trading with Sabathiel I had the city build a stable, when a mage guild right away would have been better. Oh well.
The Great library was a doozy to build. With marble, Hyll cranked it out in nine turns.
A great prophet was born in Evermore. Currently he'll bulb way of the earthmother. Any ideas for him?
Relations with our western neighbour have improved with the Sheaim adopting Runes of Kilmorph. We've even signed open borders, so our hunter is no longer trapped on hostile land.
Sabathiel converted to FoL of his own accord, we're now pretty chummy-chummy.
The dwarves built the Bone palace. I had no idea that their holes were big enough for that sort of thing.
Our warrior made contact with the Hippus, founders of the Cult of the octopus, and discovered that they don't like us much. Fortunately, they like the Bannor even less, so a slugfest in the south might be imminent. Also, the Hippus diplo music is nothing short of awesome.
A merry note: Our exploring warrior found the axe of Orthus lying around in Bannor lands, picked it up and is now heading back to Hyll. "Let others fight and pick up the spoils" is a philosophy I can live by.
We also met the Sidar. They like us because of shared religion and because we control the GL. I suppose Sandalphon will get intolerably smug if his people manage to build it first.
This would be a good trade. Extra trade routes rarely hurt and we'd be able to hook up those whales near Hyll.
