My dear friends, this is the last year for the launching of our vast commercial plan. We all pray, here in Areneth, to have it succeed. Next moves will be even more dashing. To get a clue look at last action. Action I ( & II & III & IV). Yes, this is the big one. Title: Global free trade ! Type: External; Strategic. Time: Year 4 of 4 Task: Mythic (-4) Secrecy: We proclam ! Risk: Utmost. Prime Determinant: Trade: Great (+2) Secondary Determinant: Wealth: Great (+2) Modifs: Complete implication of Laria'rathi empire who is refunding us as much as needed. +1 Trade base in Midsea (Burcancy) buid in 1419 year: +1 Improved relations with many local countries including Mir: + 1 For this year: Quadruple action (+3) Special modif this year: 2 new countries expressly joined the plan: The Razanian kingdoms (with a great need of rebuilding, we distribute products from Haran where we now have people) +1 The Hisarian Empire, with whom we made a peace and trade agreement: +1 In a move to promote modesty, I don't ask the Taltheran mod (+2) of last year to be renewed this year... Description: cf year 1420. -4 +2 +4 ( -1 -1 0 -1) + ( -1 -1 0 +1) +2 +(-1 -1 0 +1) + 2 + (-1 -1 -1 -1) +3 = 0 Mixed Results Celpalar has gained some of the Taltheran trade but that is about all. They get -1 for wealth for the next five years. At the end of the year, we should all be benefiting of the system, and thus increase our common trade and exchange; all of us are going to be better off. To face the Sinaris, that is. Action V. Title: Increase religious diversity. Type: Internal tactical Difficulty: Normal (indeed, I've no precise idea) Risk: Religious upheaval Description: A part of Celpalar elite class is fascinated by Laria'rathi religion and traditions. They start to benevolently follow the teachings of Prelate Lenoir, who has been among us for years now. They tend to live the Kelren'aie faith at home to avoid public concern with the authorities. As religion is a public matter and a cement of the State, they are afraid the ephors learn of their curiosity. Prime Determinant: Religious Sophistication: Poor: -1 Second Determinant: Religious Tolerance: Fair: 0 Extra actions: -1 Prelate Lenoir is among us for years and always respected our customs: +1 Laria'rathis are so excellent allies and people: +1 (and they try so hard to get any convert...) They are fearsome warriors and Celpalar is highly militaristic society: +1 Secret incitation by King Bar-ri (who knows Kelren'aie is real from the vision in the temple): +1 So: -1 -1 +4 + (-1 0 -1 -1) = -1 The few that follow are persecuted. Many are removed from their postion. The people like their old gods and do not seem to want to move. ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
