[Cel] [World] Ages of characters

I did some figuring recently to determine just how old the key players
of Cedonia are. Here's what I came up with.

+ Empress Yzara came to the throne in 1406 at the age of 18, making her
56 years old in 1445.

+ The Duke of Caladyn was the previous Emperor's half-brother, and was
35 years old in 1406, making him 73 years old in 1445.

+ Dr. Aldin Vellin was 49 years old in 1445.

+ Raden Ghere, the former Imperial Chamberlain, was 58 years old in
1445.

Of these four, only the Duke is near his warranty expiration date. I'd
say that for the next 6 years, he has about a 1-in-4 chance of dying in
any given year. If he makes it into his eighties, 1-in-3 chance of
dying in any given year. If he makes it past 90, 1-in-2 chance of
dying.

Andrew

I probably should calculate the age of Villard and his children, but I am not sure I want to know. :-)

Well, it is kind of important. :)

On the one hand, as members of the uppermost layer of the upper crust
of the upper class, Villard and his family would get better nutrition
and access to better health care, increasing life expectancy. On the
other hand, being a leader is stressful and reduces life expectancy;
becoming President of the United States reduces life expectancy by four
to seven years. It could go either way.

I am currently working on a chart for the mirish royal
family.  yeah.  Villard would be a grandfather. (His
daughter married the son of Niotrosa.)  They have
about four kids. :)

I know it's important and one way or the other retiring him will get him out of the picture.  I'll take a look at it as soon as I have a chance.

In 1413 Villard had twins, and he had been ruling for a couple of years already.  I guess that puts him in his 70's if not older.

[Cel] Kaeir 1445

Apologies for the lateness, just been promoted at work, and things are a
bit crazy.

The orders are brief, but fairly straight forward.  The Republic of
Kaeir, disappointed at the disappearance of peace, still nevertheless is
committed to supporting its proto-republican friends in Taltheran,
whilst continuing its own internal developments.

Ibrahim

-------

Action 1 (Single):  Raise Tal Legion.

Expeditionary Commander Basiluddin and Consul Jafaarsan call for a
revolutionary crusade to aid Kaeir's brothers in Taltheran, calling for
volunteers to enlist in a Tal Legion to help once and for all rid the
Midsea of the hated royalist spawn of Agrigax.  The emigrant republican
Houses from Taltheran are particularly encouraged, the vast majority of
whom are hardline Tallist republicans.  And so the call to arms goes out
across the Republic for many a brave young patriot to join the struggle
for liberty and the Republic.

A force of 10,000 is expected to be raised, comprised largely of
Taltherani emigrants and militant republicans.

Weight:  Single (1 of 1)
Difficulty:  Normal
Factors:
+ Republican zeal
+ Success of Tirmaeiri campaign
+ militancy of Taltherani emigrants

Action 2:  Supply Saltrim Conclave.

As the first military action in aid of the Taltherani anti-royalists,
the Senate orders the Guard onto alert.  The 1st Division remains in
Port Kaeir, whilst the 2nd Division is stationed at Crownsbane Keep.
The 3rd Division however is sent into Southern Taltheran to protect
trade routes to Saltrim, so that supply lines to the Conclave can be
kept open.

Weight:  Single (On-going)
Fudge:  1
Difficulty:  Normal
Factors:
+ Saltrim influence in southern Taltheran
+ Proximity of Crownsbane Keep
+ Royalist Taltherani forces limited to Tal City
+ Reputation of the Kaeirean Guard

Action 3:  Complete Crownsbane Keep.

Following the success of the first year, the construction of the fort is
completed.

Weight: Single (2 of 2 years) 
Difficulty: Normal (success of previous year)
Fudge: 2 points 
Factors: 
+ Accumulate engineering success of the Rebuilding of New Tirmaeir city.
+ Economic stimulus to Dominion of Tirmaeir, through employing local
Tirmaeir labour and using Tirmaeir produce for the construction. 
+ Lack of threat from Taltheran
+ Accumulated success from 1444


Action 4 (Ongoing):  Blockade Tal City.

The entire Fleet is ordered to conduct a general blockade of Tal City,
though the level of trade in Tal City is minimal as a result of the
bitter civil war raging there.  The action is ordered by the Admiralty
in order to prepare for an assault on the royalist forces later.

Weight:  Single (On-going)
Difficulty:  Normal
Factors:
+ Fleet experience of blockading Tal City
+ Republican zeal


Action 5:  Tal Legion marches to Saltrim.

The Tal Legion having been formed, Expeditionary Commander and Hero of
the Republic, Lord Basiluddin, leads the Legion to Saltrim to meet up
with the Saltrim Conclave, before marching on Tal City.

Weight: Single (1 of 10). 
Difficulty: Normal 
Factors: 
+ Friendly attitude of key members of the Republican government. 
+ Conversion of prominent Republican leaders (Basiluddin, Jafaarsan). 
+ Completion of Millat Shanari Holy Tower in New Tirmaeir

Action 6:  Panchayyah Trade.

Commissioner Talaan, third member of the colonial triumvirate at
Rimriver-town amongst the Panchayyah, along with his Secretariat
colleague, continues his series of trade missions up the Rimriver to
further open the upper reaches of the Rimriver and gain access to the
Ban Horroth. 

Weight: Single (4 of 6) 
Difficulty: Hard 
Fudge: 1 
Factors: 
+ Cooperation of intelligence service and merchants 
+ Previous success in extending trade 
+ Panchayyah alliance 
+ Panchayyah stability 
+ Initial contact with Ban Horroth made
- New trade
