Sedonia Actions?

Internal Events:

Thanks to the application of large amounts of cash, the Emperor and Empress manage to arrange their son, Prince Yarrow's, wedding to Princess Nickolian within two weeks of the letter from Princess Irinia. They even manage to get the bride's parents to Thalsedon in time for the wedding, thanks to some help from the Archmage. One of Prince Yarrow's classmates from the Military Academy serves as best man, while his sister, Yzara, is the maid of honor.

Prince Yarrow is reassigned from II Legion to the Bureau of Armament at Legion Headquarters, as an aide to the bureau chief, General Calecon Rotann. However, he is quietly informed that within six months of his child being born, he'll be posted to Near Kajir, where the defenses of

Ft. Yarrow are being upgraded with additional siege engines. Meanwhile, he's to work on the design of a new heavy siege trebuchet.

Action 1: Power Projection

• Weight: Double, Secret, Strategic (1 of 3) (+1,x,x)
• Difficulty: 0
• Fudge Points: 0

Although few weapons were produced last year, due to delays in

constructing the needed workshops at the arsenals, by this year,

production should start to pick up, provided that nothing untoward

happens. Once the initial push to get the first 1,600 minidrags deployed

is over, the arsenals will continue production, but at a slower pace.

0 (--+-) = +2 = 0 Mixed Results

• Secrecy -
• Begin deployment of the weapons as they are constructed. -
• Obtain materials +
• Build the minidrags. -

Unfortantly word of the new weapon leaks out, as deployment gets backed up.

Action 2: Command of the Skies, Part I

• Weight: Double
• Difficulty: -1 Hard
• Fudge Points: 4

Between Mir's dragons, and reports from Imperial Intelligence that Rhudyn is trying to tame hippogriffs for aerial cavalry, it is becoming more pressing that Sedonia find some way to take to the air. Mir has consistently stonewalled Sedonia's inquiries about obtaining dragons, and relations with Rhudyn are not close enough at the moment to ask for hippogriffs.

Sedonia equips a second, larger 4 galleon expedition to southern Qaiyore to search for dragon nests and hopefully, recover fertile eggs that can be brought back and hatched. As a sign of the priority of the mission, the Emperor's brother, the powerful mage Prince Barnardus, accompanies it along with a pair of Temple sorcerors, and two centuries from 3rd Cohort, Legion I.

-3 (++--)+1 = -2 Failure

• Sail to southern Qaiyore, through the straits and down the coast. +
• Find dragon nesting areas +
• Retrieve eggs or juvenile dragons -
• Return to Sedonia -

A nest is discovered, and attempts are made to take the eggs. No eggs were actually taken, but they managed to gain the attention of the local female. She followed the party to their ships were she proceded to rend the ships apart. The causalty list would have been worse except that Prince Barnardus managed to keep them at bay long enough before the dragon exploded the ship around him killing the Prince and the Temple Sorcerers

Most of the crew finally made it ashore and to the Mirrish Colony.

Jason, we're going to need to discuss this. I don't have a problem with failing, but I do have a problem with you deciding to kill off the Prince, especially for just a -2 failure (if it was -3 or worse, then I wouldn't have an issue with it).

My interpretation would be that rather than the Prince and the Sorcerers being dead, and the crew washed ashore at the Mirrish colony, the Prince and a portion of the crew and the soldiers survive, but they wash ashore in totally uncharted territory--and when the Prince takes a sun-sighting to determine latitude, he realizes that there's a high probability that they are well southwest of the Mirrish colony, which means that they are almost certainly well into the lands of the Ice Demons.

That's much more interesting, IMO, than just killing him.

Kaeirean Actions

Kaeir Events

• the Avanic Republic formally requests from Sedonia the extradition of Lord van Wansaan.
• the first All-Qaiyore Conference of the Societies of Scholastics is held at the University of New Tirmaeir.
• a Complete Dictionarie of the Kaeirean and Tirmaeiri Tongue is released by the Kaeirean Society of Scholastics and the University of New Tirmaeir's Department of Philosophical Studies.

Activity 1: Consolidating Kaeirean acquisitions - Kelshirserai & the Enklave de Saltrimcomte

The Kaeirean Colonial Affairs Office, in tandem with the Kaeirean Naval Expedition based out of Saltrimcomte (Tradetalk: "Saltrim City"), and the Republican Guard Engineer Corps, commences the physical development of infrastructure in the newly acquired Kelshiri Plains port renamed "Kelshirserai" and the enclave in Saltrimcomte (Saltrim City).

• Weight: Single, Tactical.
• Difficulty: Moderate
• Duration: 1 of 2.
• Key elements: Colonial Affairs Office, Kaeirean Naval Expedition, Republican Guard Engineer Corps.
• Factors:
• Existing logistics support via Kaeirduc-Kaeirean Naval Mission in Tolmersa & Faymiyunserai.
• Existing supply lines via Kaeirduc-Kaeirean Naval Mission in Tolmersa & Faymiyunserai.
• Experience at construction of enclaves (Midsea enclaves), and of remote ports/facilities (Rimriverton, Faymiyunserai).
• Fudge: 4.

0 (++-+) = +2 Success

Kelshircomte keep enters 1478 as a functioning fortified port, servicing the celpalar trade route, though it is a closed port, open only to Kaeirean ships.

Kelshircomte is also able to tap into existing political, religious and commercial ties with the Shanari merchants of Kelshirserai to get a tenuous supply of trade - though consolidation will be required to turn it into a developed trade route.

Further down the coast, the completion of Die Enklave de Soutcomte marks another link in the chain of ports, enclaves, missions and colonies supporting Kaeirean trade.

Action 2: Preaching the Path

The Darrgrixi missionaries continue their evangelisation in Sedonian Timar, strengthened by their successes last year. A small group of missionaries are send to Jundar, once the stronghold of the now largely defunct Exquaestio movement, whose philosophical leans were quite close to that of the Marlupinist Millati.

• Weight: Double, Strategic.
• Difficulty: Moderate (long term goals, with no immediate successes expected).
• Duration: 3 of 20 (0,0,+2,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x).
• Key elements: Darrgrixi College (funding), graduate missionaries of the Darrgrixi College (workforce).

• Sub-parts:
• A) Sedonian Timar
• B) Jundar

0 (----) +1 = -3 Failure

• Sub-parts:
• A) Sedonian Timar -
• B) Jundar –

While the jundar area has some similar ideas, they still have some serious conditions that they oppose and force the Millati to leave.

Not sure what you mean, Jason. The Jundari disagree with some aspects of the Millat, or just object to anything .from the North (most of the Midsea, to them, being 'the North')?

Meanwhile, closer to home, the missionaries of Darrgrixi College experience some of the regional fallout to the Kaeirean Civil War. Undeterred, the Evangelicals study the events of the year and continue thelr efforts.

Action 3: Deep Sea Vessels

• Weight: Single, Strategic.
• Difficulty: Moderate (Knowledge of technology + expertise in sailing).
• Duration: 1 of 4.
• Key elements: Kaeiro-Midsea Trading Consortium, Arsenal of Kahshaarton & Saltrim, Republican Fleet, Ministry of Commerce.

A private consortium of merchants, in cooperation with the Arsenal of Kahshaarton, begin working on modifying the existing galleon design to adapt it to deep sea use (the galleon design being largely for the Midsea, not the rougher waters of the Outer Ocean).

The project draws on the experience of Kaeirean navigators sailing both the Midsea, and the Tolmersa-Faymiyunserai-Celpalar run in the ocean beyond. This, coupled with the shipwrighting skills of the Arsenal of Kahshaarton, arguably the most skilled shipwrights in Qaiyore, should allow the project to develop mixed sail/oar powered galleon into a larger, heavier ship more suited to deep sea travel, and one relying largely on sail power.

0 (++00) = +2 Success

• Sub-parts:
• Theory - developing design for sailing vessel better suited to oceanic travel.
• Practicality - building the vessel.
• fudge points: 4

Little effort is made to keep the project secret, as any society capable ofbuilding galleons can eventually build on their existing technology (tho only 2 (??) societies possess such tech right now).

Actual research takes place within the high security walls of Die Arsenal de Kahshaarton, away from casual prying eyes.

The main result ofthis year is that a working prototype is built, based on plans drawn by the Arsenalmagister of Kahshaarton.
