Events within the Shanari Commonwealth: The Kurat brothers, after finding a few sizeable nuggets of gold on the edge of the river, relise that they're harvesting of these beuties are making the natives very uneasy. Though they abandon their search, Oliat fashions one of the nugets into a necklace for his wife, and finds a merchant who is willing to take it back to her (for a small fee of another gold nugget). Much to the distaste of the Faymiyuniyya, Olab ay-Bolari continues his odd hiring practices, and his successes bring him power. Actions: Action 1: Ereli ab Liam ay-Martusam aj-Baratiyyah, the Boy-Prophet, Speaker for Sin Sudan, spured by his successes, continues his pilgrimage of revival to the south and to the east. His sister continues to watch over him, and convince him not to travel to the capital. Difficulty: Normal Modifiers: + Ereli can demonstrate the his ablity to speak to ancestors as well as his ability to speak to the old gods. - All of the tribes he is now visiting, are either strongly Milat, or have vested interest in being Milat Subparts: The willingness of the Moriyah to accept his claims The willingness of the Mor'Nagb to accept his claims The willingness of the Jabuar to accept his claims The ablity of his sister to keep him out of trouble Action 2: Qar an-Naqmah, noticing that other caravans tend to avoid the western rock plains, even though it shortens the jouney to Kelshiri, decides that for the common good (and his own profit), he will share his family secret of the paths through the western rock plains. He does this by drawing, copying, and selling a map. Subparts: The accuracy of the map The usefullness of the map The intrest of the other tribes The intrest (and awarness) of peoples outside of the Commonwealth Action 3: With the Milakanur acceptance of Milati worship, the Faymiyuniyya pour money into the construction of a Tower in Jabau. They stick within the agreement of no proselyting, but they also do try to make the lot of life for Jabau Milati obviosly better (and thus raise interest in the religion). This also opens up limited trade between Jabau Milati and the Commonwealth, and many of the Jabuar tribe within the Commonwealth offer very good deals to the Jabau Milati, not only because they are often distant family but also to try and gain political favour with the Faymyuniyya. Subparts: The degree to which the Milakanur guards in Jabau have actually stopped persecuting the Milati The interest the flamboyant building of the tower garners among non-Milati Jabau The interest the favorable trade dealings garners among non-Milati Jabau The extent this intrest translates into conversion Action 4: Maqya ay-Qarnayyad, a commander in the Core Army, itching for glory, tries to find support from various members of the Council for a campaign against the rebelious and heathen Kelshiri cult of Dwi Coatl. Modifiers: - There is little evidence that Dwi Coatl are openly rebelious, or that sending the Army would do anything productive. Subparts: Convincing Council members of the Faymiyuniyya Convincing Council members of the Moderates Convincing tribal delegates to the Council Convincing other members of the Council ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
