Amphitryon Kingdom As the sun rises on a new year, the snow begins to melt and winds start to subside. The Amphitryon people come out of their homes, returning to their places of work, worship, and socializing with one another more frequently. As the king of the Stone Throne gazed out onto his city, high above it’s streets, he could see many children playing in an open patch of ground. Some blessed by Artemios, and others not so much. Lysander patiently watched from his palace as they split themselves into two teams and began throwing rocks at one another. Their laughter just distinct enough that it could be pulled out of the sea of noise created by the market stalls and social places. The game Stones is where real men were made. It separated the milk drinkers from the warriors. The weak from the strong. And although it did leave you covered in bruises and cuts, it taught you to be tough and to endure pain all whilst being fun. The watching of his favorite childhood game is cut short however, as a serving girl interrupts him sooner than expected. What a shame. To him she brings paper and quill, quickly walking back to the large door from hence she came. “A pretty one, that one.” he thought to himself. “Need to get married soon. Have a couple pebbles of my own running about. ” Thoughts for another time though, for as he slid into his finely crafted desk all that filled his mind was politicking and administrative work. With the first few sheets of paper he wrote a series of instruction for new buildings and workshops. All of which would provide a tremendous to the treasures. The latter half of the paper is used for letters. All of which are being sent west to the Dusii controlled mage states. Apparently, they are mostly stone worshipping people. This is yet to be seen though. No reason things cannot be discussed like civilized people....hopefully they are civilized. (As my hand and fingers become less broken, busted, and swollen, I’ll begin to write more.) The beauty seen from a mountainside temple of Artemios. The Akmagoran range, Amphitryon territory. Actions: -5 Manufactories. (5 stone, 37,500) -2 Artisan Workshops (4 Stone, 20,000) -2 Quarries are built. (15,000) -Letters are sent to all three Dusii states to the west, Lysander wishes to meet with these supposed stone worshippers.

Discord name (PM if you wish): Dank. Nation Type: Kingdom Nation Flag (optional): To be made. Nation Name: Amphitryon Kingdom Are you in the Elraic Empire? No Nation Culture (Brief description): A hardy people hailing from rougher terrains, the Amphitryons are known for their strength and stoicism. They claim this toughness from the earth and metal they have shifted and bent for as long as most can remember, even going back to when the Amphitryons were nothing but clashing geomancers hurling stone and steel at one another. The language spoken in this small part of the world is eerily similar to that of the Empire, yet so foreign to any Elraic citizen. The people themselves share features countless Elraic people claim too, yet the familiarity is only there to an extent before it changes back to that disturbing foriegn feeling. The official religion of the state however, couldn’t be more different from their sun worshipping neighbors. The Amphitryons worship the God of Earth; Artemios. Their religion is open to most who will accept it, and plays a fair part in the lives of most. It is he who blesses them with their powers and created all beings from the clay of his work. It is prophesied that Artemios’ chosen King will come and bring all to heel. The earth and her gifts will belong to it’s true inheritors, those who bend her gifts and appreciate their value. Nation History: Amphitryons are said to have fled from the early Elriac Empire after some persecution from fanatics due to their geomantic powers being seen as too much of an obscurity -This story is debated-. Regardless of their true origin, they settled into a mighty mountain range and its surrounding landscapes, for not only natural protection from their persecutors, but also comfort. For a period of time not named by the Amphitryons (or simply not wanting to be remembered), there was some divide between the people. Many rocks were thrown and much blood was shed. This was all put to an end by the first king of the Amphitryons. He, according to legend, smashed in the head of all opposing clan leaders in single combat. During the wake of this immense suffering he was proclaimed king of all Amphitryons unanimously. He then ordered for all to come together and build a great city of stone and metal which was erected at the heart of their mountains. To this day the city still stands strong, and many more were built before his inevitable passing. Peace between Amphitryons still rings true and century after century, and king after king, all flourishes. More mountains and land have been claimed, and continue to be claimed. Relations with neighboring nations are shaky at best but such are the times and current state of the world. A new king rises to the Stone Throne however. A figure of immense raw geomantic. Perhaps it is he that’s spoken of in the prophecies of old. Only time will tell. Nation Race: Human. Special Characters: King Lysander, 22 General Doreios, 35 Primary Magic: Rock. Secondary Magic: Metal. Unique Point of Interest: The mighty Akmagoron mountains. These mountains have protected the Amphitryon Kingdom for many, many centuries. Temples of worship dot the sides of them like freckles would a person’s face. They provide beautiful scenery, protection, and most importantly resources… (TBD Bonus.)

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2279 The 15 civilized men are taken in. There is now purpose for them. They will never be accepted as true initiates to the Brotherhood by the more hardcore members yet they are with us still. With the radio broadcast from O’Hare though they are assigned to their second task. All of the veteran personnel are needed at the citadel to help coordinate and complete operations of importance. With new found threats, and new projects to fill the place of completed ones, there is much to be done. (I’m waging 40 hours this week. This is the best you’ll get.) Actions: T2 Laser weaponry production. (6 M) T3 Laser weaponry research. (6/50 R) A research lab is built for the scribes. (10,000 C, 2 B) Infrastructure is built for the airport. (8 B, 10,375 C) The greenhorns are trained. (2,000 C, 20 men to trained.) The 15 civilized initiates are given some basic equipment and sent on their way to O’hare with a signed letter from Blackburn. They’re not to try and fight, their objective is to make it to O’hare safely and with the message intact. (15 t1 laser rifles, letter contents in discord.)

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2278 The death of a great man. A true soldier. A true hero. As his body was carried into the camp, silence overtook the busy airport. The body bearers methodically carried his casket to the scribes makeshift morgue area where his deeds and the rest of whatever already wasn’t documented could be inscribed on a scroll and filed away. When it was finally time for his remains to be buried, all had gathered at dusk to listen to the Paladin’s who were with him up until his last moments. After the recount of his selfless actions by the other three, it was time for Senior Paladin Blackburn to take to the hastily put together podium. “Brothers and sisters” he said solemnly. “We are gathering here today to remember the life of Paladin Moore, an incredible man of incredible feat who displayed his courage for all of the wasteland to see.” Blackburn continued on with the eulogy, including personal stories and just expressing how great of a person his friend was. Thus concluded the funeral for Paladin Moore. On a lighter note, another set of T45 power armor is being produced by the scribes. To add to the advancement of the Brotherhood’s armory even further, laser weaponry capabilities have been increased to new heights, and the special item found during the last operation is being looked at by the scribes. All is looking well for the Brotherhood and word of our domination of the abomination has spread so far that nearly fifty people seek to join our ranks. Five of which are already accepted, the others are to be determined. As for the campaign of operations promised by Blackburn, they have been put on halt until the new equipment can be produced and distributed. A year or two at most before things resume as planned. Actions: T2 Laser gets completed. (25/25 R) The special item is looked into by the scribes. Another set of t45 is produced by the scribes. (4M, 3E, 1AE) The five intellectuals are accepted into the Brotherhood immediately. As for the 45 others that came seeking initiate status in our ranks, they are turned away .Instead told if they truly wish to serve the brotherhood they will go forth and scout for locations that can be of use. Only then will the Brotherhood CONSIDER their initiate status. A trial by fire.

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2276 With the airport becoming more and more crowded every year, it was time for the brotherhood to think more in depth about expanding their numbers from within. Two agricultural buildings should -according to the scribes- put us on track for record growth allowing us to expand our borders within due time. Population issues will continue to plague us for the rest of time there is no doubt to that statement, and it doesn't appear as if there is going to be a way around that issue. Thus is why the Brotherhood has always relied on technological superiority and the employment of well thought out strategy. Although it has not worked so well in the past all we can hope to do is refine this doctrine and learn from the failures of our predecessors. Taking a step in the right direction after his leadership and wisdom was challenged, Blackburn decided it was time to become more aggressive like the Elder council should've been many, many years ago when the NCR dare threaten Brotherhood authority. No more idling by or sitting on our hands would be accepted. In front of majority of the expedition the intention of launching major missions from the airport is announced. Large numbers of the expedition can expect to see combat with the coming years whether it be from clearing out blocks of mutants, or defending strategic positions from raiders. Hopefully this maneuver puts to rest any questions of the current leadership. Actions: T2 laser weaponry research (20/25) Two greenhouses are built. (10,000 C, 4 B) Since the metal armors were a success, more are crafted. (4M) Since the anomalies years past warded off the Paladins, it was time to go back in force. More men are dispatched along with the power armored Paladins. (Details in discord)

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2275 With the recent fiasco of Knights and for some odd reason Scribes going out, security is being tightened. We cannot have our greenhorns wandering around the blocks adjacent to the citadel especially with the anomalies happening all around. The brothers and sisters that decided to conduct this quagmire are punished accordingly by their section leader (Senior Knight/Scribe.) Hopefully nobody else decides to follow in this reckless behavior. We must be bold but not stupid and what the group decided to do was plain stupid. On the note of more external matters perhaps the surrounding blocks and their abnormalities will serve as a natural buffer from any potential threats, and although it may seem like a blessing, we must continue our vigilance. We will continue our vigilance. We will not falter or waiver in our mission. The Brotherhood of Steel will survive through the turbulence it's found itself in. Actions: T2 laser weaponry research (15/25) Some metal armor is crafted for the paladins to equip themselves with. Within time the foundry will be built. (4 M) A fuel refinery is built. (-5,000 C and 1 B) Another construction yard is constructed. (7,500 C)

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2274 With the squad of Paladins returning home empty handed due to....highly dangerous activity, the Brotherhood now look to the North for salvageable resources and technology. Although what lay in the east looked promising, losing five suits of the only power armor in Brotherhood possession along with its senior most members and veterans was not worth the risk. Perhaps a day will come when we’re ready to undergo such an operation. We are men of steel, but by no means invincible. In the end our awareness will play a large role in how we preform, thankfully we're understanding this sooner rather than later. Actions: T2 laser weaponry research. (10/25) Two markets are made in the airport. (10,000 C, 2 B)

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2273 With the block to the west being mostly devoid of resources and life, the brotherhood is now looking to other locations for salvage and technology. Another expedition is launched but this time to the east. All quiet on the front. Actions: The radio broadcasts persist. A continued challenge is presented to the wastelanders in listening radius. Those who are of mental and physical capability will be accepted into the ranks of the Brotherhood. Any resources and or technology brought with intent to trade will be compensated with caps. Any wastelanders that brings forth useless technology such as broken prewar toasters, coffee machines and other junk will be turned away and or shot if they escalate the situation. Another expedition is launched but this time to the east. (Details in discord) Another two levels of fortifications are added to the airport. The final touches to the fortifications. (1,000 C, 2 B) More heavy weapons are produced. (3M) T2 Laser weaponry research (5/25 R)

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2272 The sound of construction and cheerful laughter filled the atmosphere. Fortification upgrades were being made around the airport with Knights laboring away both day and night to get the much needed improvements done as quickly as possible. Completely to Senior Knight Anderson’s credit, the work was getting done relatively fast and without any incident. A most impressive feature with the resources and manpower at hand. Within the next year the airport would be virtually impenetrable allowing for projects within the block to go uninterrupted. All the while Knights toil away night and day, the scribes draw up blueprints for anything and everything imaginable. Even the most simple of things need to be researched, drawn up, and archived for later use; such as the Molotov Cocktail. Many in the Brotherhood downplay the Scribes' role, but in reality they’re just as important as a Knight or Paladin. As for the two initiates sent out, it’s a true shame they never came back. Perhaps they ran off. Or perhaps they died trying to do their duty. Unfortunately we will most likely never know, but until proven otherwise their scrolls will say they served honorably for the short time they were sworn in. To further investigate what happened a team is being dispatched to the first block to find out who or what is it that’s occupying land so close to the airport. Actions: Tier one explosives are researched. (5/5 R) Some heavy weapons are produced (3M) With the year looking rather slow, the construction of more fortifications is required of the brotherhood. (1,000 C, 2 B) A team is dispatched to the first block in the west. (Specifications in discord channel) The Scribes are ordered to start broadcasting to the wasteland with recruitment messages. The standard for the brotherhood is to be upheld. Any outsider physically and mentally capable will be welcomed into the ranks as an initiate. (Advanced folk) Nobody is expected to meet our expectations yet we will follow through with this for many many years to come. The locals are also told that if they bring in technology or spare resources they find, they’ll be paid in caps depending on what they find.

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. 2271 With the construction yards now complete, a very basic level of fortifications will be built to deter the unseen enemies of the Brotherhood. Although it is far from what Lost Hills is, it’s a start. It’s estimated by the Knight’s that it will take about four more years to get the place properly fortified at the current pace, and two if we were to focus on just the fortifications. What is certain though is the construction of another building; a fuel refinery. This refinery is a win for the Brotherhood seeing as the power armor bought with the expedition is out of juice. Power armor and superior firepower are key to the success of the operations conducted in the Mud City, at least according to the doctrine and Senior Paladin Blackburn. Once we lose those advantages there’s no doubt we will suffer it’s consequences immensely. Actions: The airport is beginning to be fortified. (500 C, 1 B) A fuel refinery is constructed (5,000 C, 1 B) A batch of laser rifles are produced. (2M) Continued research on laser heavy weapons (10/10 R) 80 Knights and Paladins receive training and instruction from Senior Paladin Blackburn. (8,000 C, Trained) Two scouts are sent to the two western blocks.

Western BoS Expedition Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland. Chicago Midway International airport was abandoned when the expedition arrived. Not a waster to be found. Senior Paladin Blackburn immediately raised the Brotherhood flag high and proud above the airport. Salvage teams of Knights and Scribes were dispatched around the block to find and secure any resources and or technology left lying about. Plenty of rubble piles to clear, buildings to search, and other hidey holes to find. All the meanwhile the first challenge lay ahead of the Senior Paladin; security. Paladin patrols were organized, along with checkpoints and other sentry positions. All was coming together. As for how the Senior Paladin planned on conducting the expedition was simple. Eventually whenever the foundation for the new chapter is laid out completely an election will be held by the members to select the first Elder. Most likely this will end up being Senior Paladin Blackburn if there isn’t another member who decides to challenge his authority and leadership capabilities. Tradition and codex will be followed with a couple exceptions them being listed; recruitment of wastelanders would be allowed but a rigorous set of trials and tribulations lay before them and “The Chains That Bind” would have it’s second portion scrapped. The second portion being “Orders are to observe the flow and not skip ranks. A superior may only give orders to his direct subordinates,...” It is known that this portion is inefficient and detrimental to the Brotherhood therefore it has been agreed upon by almost all the members of the expedition to lift it’s burden. Exceptions to the codex will happen if and only if there is a clear and obvious obstruction the expedition's ability to function. Other than that things should function like they do in the West, smooth and without complication. Actions: The airport is scavenged for pre war technology and other resources. The scribes are ordered to find the old airport radio tower while they’re at it and see if they can get it functioning again. Paladin patrols are organized. Two construction yards are being built. (15,000 C) T1 Heavy Firearms are being researched (5/10)

Application Faction Name: Western BoS Expedition Civilization Type: Advanced. Starting Points: 6 points into technology, 2 points into equipment production, and 2 points for 10k C. Faction Backstory: The Brotherhood of Steel's founding chapter at “Lost Hills” had decided it was time again to send out another expedition. The previous expeditions have either failed and or are nowhere to be heard of resulting in the loss of copious amounts of resources and countless lives that could’ve been used back home in California. There was some initial resistance by the Elders with valid criticism citing the past failures but Maxson managed to convince them that this would be the one to bear fruit. Unities remnants have been retreating since the Master’s death and it was once again time to dip their hand in the honey pot of exploration. There was technology to be preserved and nobody doing it, at least to their knowledge. The objective of this expedition is to establish a BoS chapter in the Midwest that would stay in contact with the West and adhere to tradition unlike the previous attempts. To lead this expedition the council of Elders and High Elder John Maxson himself have selected a relatively young and zealous Senior Paladin by the name of Beric Blackburn. Not only has he proven himself as a competent soldier in his years of service wiping up the remnants of major super mutant threats as they flee California, but he’s also shown competent leadership both in and outside of combat even going as far as helping prepare the future generations by assisting lower ranked Paladins and Knights without regard for his own position or social standing in the Brotherhood. A more perfect candidate could not be found anywhere else. The planning and preparation took almost two years but at last towards the end of 2169 a host of Scribes, Knights and Paladins set forward on an airship traversing the unknown and even making it within a hair of the Mud City before the storms could be seen fiercely hulking around the outskirts and suburbs. Not wanting any part of what happened to the other expeditions, Blackburn opted to move in on foot from their location rather than risk the lives of those in the expedition. A risky move; one that would also limit the equipment and supplies being brought with them but a sacrifice he was willing to make nonetheless. As the host of 100 walked their way to the sprawling suburbs and towering skyscrapers, the airships crew could be seen making the necessary maneuvers to head back to “Lost Hills”. The expedition was now on their own. Characters (Minimum 1) Character 1: Senior Paladin Blackburn leader of the Expedition, not coming from a prominent brotherhood linage, but that of a lesser known family with a heritage of serving as Paladins. His father was a Paladin, and his father’s father was a Paladin, and so on and so forth. Growing up in the bunker was not an easy life, as shortages did come every once in a while but all in all nothing to different than any other child born into the Bunker. Blackburn is a sturdy gentlemen standing at around 6’, he has brown hair, a rather impressive beard for his age, hazel eyes, and a thundering voice that would make even the most senior enclave NCO tremble with fear. He is a staunch believer in the Brotherhood, and zealot in his mission to preserve technology and history. Morality is a luxury that can not always be afforded in the wasteland, nor in times like these therefor none shall be provided if times are dire. I’m sure more characters will come about. Discord: You have it.

Kingdom of Adozar Year: 882 Population: 14,710,799 Adozarians Be praised, a son is born! A strong and healthy son bearing the hazel eyes of Santiago. His name was decided by both mother and father; it being Lorenço. A handsome name for a handsome boy. Lucky for the queen it was a boy on the first try. Any children after this one will be groomed to serve the Kingdom naturally. Of course a secondary plan of action is thought of in the event of something terrible happening to the first heir, but that is highly unlikely seeing as the boy is protected as much if not more than his father and mother. Something seems to be up as the renovation plan has been scrapped in favor of military expansion. Thousands of men are being trained to join the ranks of the army. Artisans are thrusted into crafting and producing everything that will be needed for these large scale orders. Day and night they work, master and apprentice side by side proving their skill and craftsmanship. Truly a sight to behold. On terms of research our trebuchets were finished, and with them a bountiful reward; the Warwolf. Monstrous in size, this trebuchet variant is much more powerful compared to it’s traditional counterpart. Although it may take a lot to build the engineers are certain it’ll be worth it. Plus we could always sell to the highest bidder. There are constant wars ongoing, who wouldn’t want a massive siege engine with enough power to destroy entire sections of walls on it’s own. To fill the time of the ‘natural philosophers’ they are assigned the task of understanding the crossbow. The crossbow is a scary weapon to a Knight in armor, especially considering it takes no skill to wield. ============================================================================= People of Note King Santiago (31 y/o) (5 Leadership, 6 Martial, 2 Charisma) Queen Maria (31 y/o) (4 Leadership, 1 Martial, 8 Charisma) Captain Fernando de Comete (39 y/o) (6 Leadership, 7 Martial) Alvaro de Fuentes (24 y/o) (1 Martial, 6 Charisma, 7 Arcane) ============================================================================= Actions 4,000 Medium Infantry trained and well equipped.

(10,000) Five mines are built, steel will be needed for the wars to come. Peasants will be needed for this rough occupation, but it beats being coinless. (25,000) Sentries are put near the shores to warn against another raiding or invasion if it comes to it. The raiding that happened in years past was a horrible economic disaster. Never again will someone sneak up on our coasts without us knowing first. The swiftest riders and horses are put to this monumental task. Five heavy manufacturing are built.

All of the notable merchants are invited including smaller noble families. Drinks are shared, gifts are given, songs are sung, and vows are said. Nothing out of the ordinary for an Adozarian noble marriage. Their reign is blessed and all hope that the dynasty survives for many generations to come. With the current building path for the capital soon there will be no more room for civilian manufacturing in the Kingdom. There will be not enough population to sustain it. To further the prosperity of the realm large scale investment will occur to the capital, building roads, sewers, signs, anything a city would need!

Kingdom of Adozar Year: 879 Population: 13,462,465 Adozarians The King is in need of a Queen. Perhaps one that will bring wealth, or perhaps one that will bring an army along with her hand in marriage. Maybe both if we’re extremely lucky. Love is a secondary concern as the Kingdom comes first, for a strong marriage will undoubtedly continue to progress the realm's strength. Santiago is getting older and the future of the bloodline is at stake, if no heirs were to come about then the throne would pass to his brother. And if his brother decided to pass on the opportunity then one of his distant cousins were sure to accept the offer. This would not be acceptable and as such a bride must be found quickly to solidify succession and legitimacy, avoiding a crisis. No specific nations are targeted, letters are dispatched everywhere in the vicinity. Let us hope that marrying a King is enticing enough. As for the nation's state of being things are going rather swell. The treasury continues to be bolstered by coin year after year. By not expending all of the budget we’ve allowed for an excess of currency to form and as such we have more to spend on economic improvements and such. This year although heavy on the treasury will yield economic boon and great gain. Many mines and both heavy and civilian manufacturing are set to be opening up towards the end of the year, not to mention the capitals walls are receiving a massive upgrade. Trade continues to flourish and more and more trade partners begin to appear. The system that’s been developed has been beneficial so far, so until further notice it will continue to be in effect. If all is well and set on the right path then during the next five to ten years the Kingdom should become a major power in the world around it. ============================================================================= People of note King Santiago de Nuñez (28 y/o) (5 Leadership, 6 Martial, 2 Charisma) Captain Fernando de Comete (36 y/o) (6 Leadership, 7 Martial) With Sebastian being removed from office, a replacement is selected to replace him.

Zyrka Republic Current Chancellor: Tarc Avall Current Population: 11,154,496,202 Zyrka Private corporations and small businesses allow the Republic to thrive. Some might say they are a pillar of the Republic. Yet this is no excuse to break the law. These corporations found trading illegally are punished via fine. If they refuse to pay said fine, there will be repercussions for their actions. Corruption comes natural to some. The people that partake in it are immoral and evil. They have no place in the bureaucracy and will be removed as such. A large-scale anti-corruption campaign is launched by the chancellor. “Those who would abuse the kindness of the state will face the full wraith and utter weight of Zyrka law.” First a non-partisan official will be selected to run the campaign, from there he will launch investigations using the Republic’s resources to the best of his ability and weed out those who would see the institution that has made them what they are rot like an uprooted tree. Money cannot fix all the problems known to us, but it sure helps in the process.

Regulations are put in place to counteract the corporation’s illegal movements and as punishment these corporations are fined a hefty sum before being allowed to officially begin. Rewards are offered to those who might have information on officials involved in such illegal activities. With news of the science department and possibly other areas being heavily plagued by corruption, the government is skeptical yet still pours funding into the science program hoping that the new campaign to curb corruption accomplish some form of success.

Discord Name; Crusader Lad#3976 Nation Name: Kingdom of Adozar Government Type: Kingdom/Monarchy Magic Type: Direct Magic, Offensive. Leader: Santiago de Nuñez Culture: Latin/Spanish, Human. History: Adoza was originally a small and relatively remote town until the collapse. With the collapse Adoza was subjected to a fair amount of immigration which ultimately led to the expansion of the town that blossomed into a beautiful city. A prominent family of nobles in the area soon realized that they had colossal sway in the politics of the city and after consolidating power were able to proclaim themselves rulers of the adozar and as such the Kingdom of Adozar was founded. Now with solid leadership the newly created Kingdom could expand and that they did. The expansion was fast and fairly harmless to the region, being more of a benefit if anything bringing stability and prosperity to the region. No longer were there bandits robbing or barbarians pillaging and life was good for all. Any attempts to disrupt the region were met with swift and decisive force from the royal family and it’s ever growing authority. Life continues on as it has ever since the foundation of the Kingdom. Adozarian society branched off from that of the Atem Empire, developing into more progressive feudalism than anything. On the lower end of society are farmers, and labor workers. Forming some sort of middle classes are the merchants, and other skilled workers, while on the top of the pyramid lay the nobility, and other landowning elite. Although this may seem like it traps those in it, there is plenty of room for upward mobility whether it be from soldiering, investing, or marrying intelligently. Places/Groups of interest: Adoza the capital city of the kingdom, Fortress Robusta a strategically important location in the training of men, and overall defence of the kingdom, and Castle Solida another important training center and defensive position.
