[Cel] Results for year 1442

---+ Actions for Ka'Shari

---+++ Action 1: Elections
    
*Resolution:* Diff = Easy (+1) + Dice (++-0) + Extras () = +2 Success

*Results:* Bra'anath is elected again with no difficulities.

*Interpretation:*

---+++ Action 2-3: Tracking the Dragons
    
*Resolution:* Diff = Normal (0) + Dice (++-0) + Extras (double: +1) = +2 
Success

*Results:* A dragon nest is located, and a very tentative connection with
them is established.

*Interpretation:* The ship sights a number of dragons and follows them.
The captain determines that at some point they have passed the original
Ka'shari city - but without seeing it. Finally, they arrive to a dragon
nest. There are at least a score of the beasts. For some reason, they
leave the ship alone. The sage on board who knows the new communication
method, tries projecting it on the dragons, gets a brief response of
some kind, and then nothing.

---+++ Action 4: Fleet repairs in Branvill
    
*Resolution:* Diff = Easy (+1) + Dice (++--) + Extras () = +1 Success

*Results:* Fleet repairs start off nicely.

*Interpretation:*

---+ Actions for Mir

---+++ Action 1-2: Continue training the Warmages.
    
*Resolution:* Diff = Hard (-1) + Dice (-000) + Extras (double +1) = -1 
Failure

*Results:* Very little progress; results so far: (+2,+1,x,x,x,x)

*Interpretation:* There are still difficulities getting the training
off the ground properly. The coteries accumulate huge amounts of
power, but it is difficult to learn to focus and control it.

---+++ Action 3: What is going on?
    
*Resolution:* Diff = Normal (0) + Dice (+--0) + Extras () = -1 Failure

*Results:* Only some hints are obtained. The most important is an old
legend of the 'World Egg': that Celandra would at some point spawn a
child, which would become a second Celandra. There are several versions
of the legend: according to some, this would mean the end of (first)
Celandra, according to some, there would be multiple eggs. A few
propose that the World Egg would be mallable at first, so that whoever
got there first, could mold it to his/her/its like, and later it
would impossible to change, like (first) Celandra.

*Interpretation:*


---+++ Action 4: Research of the Obeah or the Song.

*Results:* Thing is Tirmaer proper are going well - the resolution of
the war brings much-awaited peace on the city, and people are very
happy to get rid of the Csar. However, not all are happy, and
the discontent is the greater, the further away from Tirmaer
one goes. Also, Taltheran Merchant Council, Captain of the Guard
from Tal, and others, and warning Kaeir from advancing any further.

*Resolution:* Diff = Normal (0) + Dice (--+0) + Extras () = -1 Failure

*Results:* no progress: (x,x,x,x)

*Resolution:* Diff = Normal (0) + Dice (++00) + Extras () = +2 Success

*Results:* so far (+2,x)

*Resolution:* Diff = Hard (-1) + Dice (--0+) + Extras () = -2 Failure

How about:  There is a great deal of discussion among the church as to best 
the location for the Pantheon.  Some point to the riches at the mouth of the 
Arand river.  Others look at the centrality of Anaduan or Anacir.  Others prefer 
the closeness of the Topra river (between Junder and Parglug). Still others 
can point out advantages in dozens of other cities and areas.  While no 
decision is reached this year, the concept begins to capture the imaginations within 
Exquaestio.
