Cradle to the Grave--for noobies with a record of no staling--FULL

[earwicker7]

Hey, guys. I woke up this morning to do my turn and realized I couldn't get out of bed. I'm pretty sick, so I've delayed hosting by 24 hours. Chances are I'll still manage to get it in today if I feel better later on, but I put a delay in there just to make sure I don't accidentally sleep through the deadline and stale.

That doesn't sound good

Strangely, I'm fine today... it was one of those "you're sick for a day" colds.

Arcoscephale does not like musing in the dark, holding secrets and knowledge from others. Rather, we prefer to keep our neighbors and allies lit with knowledge and information

For this reason, Arcoscephale presents its latest work. A map of the known world! (Note: Flags do not signify capital)

In addition, some mumblings from the astrologers atop the highest mountains.

"Our scouts report that our expansion parties are finished. There is nowhere that remains to expand and we are beginning to feel the vice around us that is the nation of Bandar Log. Whom have cut us off from the entire unclaimed west and will certainly claim the port before us. As well the nation of T'ien'Chi that resides to our east and appears to have raced to keep us from riding to their position. We can only hope that the ones that lay to their east can lay waste and show them that focusing entirely on one cardinal sector was a poor idea. We are actively seeking who they are through many scouts so we may send messengers to work out deals should T'ien'Chi get greedy. Less so do we wish to know the owners of the northern realm. However if we can convince them from allowing Bandar to expand northernly it would only be a benefit to us"

"Furthermore, independant hostilites and power have raised. The remaining provinces that have yet to be annexed into the glory that is Arcoscephale are full of heavily armed knights or our own beasts of burden! Surely T'ien'Chi will claim the secondary port before we are able to crack the lands that harbour the elephants lest we disturb our mages. Perhaps we should seek those that live in the North East and ask them to set up a barricade."

"Economically and magically we grow. Our researchers and military increase each month and we've managed to attain many fertile lands. One stinks of death however and the population seems to be falling from no discenable cause. Our dominion fights with that of Bandar. We've yet to see a candle from T'ien'Chi. Within months we shall begin finding sites of magical power. Lucky we are, as we have found many gems through sheer luck without a single site found. Perhaps we shall use them to launch a surprise invasion on the independant lands bellow Bandar. They don't seem to care about them and have made no advance upon them. Why not teleport in our astrologers and mentally burn those that would oppose us there? Land is land after all..."
