Society Name: Mir
Title: The Eastern Timar Plan (4 of 5 years.)
Actions: 1, 2
Mir stops the troops training and places the troops with in the Mirish
army under mirish leadership, but that is not the main point for this
year. The Archmage has called for a meeting of the most powerful
noblemen in the area controled by Mir to meet at Talishara. There he
will inform them that Timar is being declared a Princibality of Mir and
that Nirotosa will be crown Prince. He will informe then that their
will be a council of Noblemen to advice the prince on maters of state,
and Mir will return to the Oracle the Oracles priest which are under the
protection of Mir. Also that the noblemen, as long as they are loyal to
Mir, will keep their holdings. As this meeting is being held their will
be a parade of the Mirish army thought the city of Talishara. (The
noice and parade are reminders that Mirs military force is outside.)
Also before the meeting Mir will be holding public and private fest.
(Reminders that Mir kept food coming in, and also kept the peace.)
Primary Determinant: Military Force (Good +1)
Secondary Determinant: Relations (were they Fair or Good.)
Diffculty: Very Hard (-2)
Weight: Double (+1)
Actors: Nirotosa and military
Secrecy: None
Modifiers: + The stablility that Mir has brough
+ The peasents have not had any real complaits, and the noble men keep
their holdings
+ Niortosa's good will tour last year.
+ Reminders before and at the meeting
- Noblemen want power.
-2 Holdover of nationalistic sentiments (this will drop to -1 next year and
to 0 at the conclusion of the 5 turn action)
+1-2+1+1+(+1+1+1-1) [looks like all the bad rolls for the past few turns
finally decided to level out] = +3
The meeting itself is a huge success. Officially, all of the nobles seem to
support this although it will take them some time to influence the lesser
nobility (hence the -2 shrinking penalty). Unofficially, there are still
those who seek power and the region will be volatile for some time and the
local nobility may not be fully trustworthy. (Time will tell.) However,
out of this meeting, several issues are raised to the Archmage's attention:
1-If Niotrosa is Prince, is he also eligible to become ruler of Mir after
the current Archmage passes? If so, what is the order of succession for
Timar? Many of the nobility have tenuous claims on the throne which they
could pursue if the matter is not clearly adressed to their satisfaction.
(Also, will the area be renamed to reflect its status as a "new" place?)
2-Does this apply to the Floating City currently parked above the Oracle?
What about the refugees from the Wyr basin and Myr-Kun and the Black Seerers
(the converted Sinari who fought with Mir at Talishara)? Are these refugees
now residents of the land they are on and ruled by whoever is in charge
there, wards of Mir, forgien troops, etc.? Note-all of these factors as
well as the Mirrish association with the Eerith serve to destabilize the
local rulers.
3-Will any of this area be ceeded to Agrigax and/or the Dun-Ri in
recognition of their support in the war?
4-The Order of Lucia would like to assume responsibility for the security of
the Oracle and its priesthood. Since the two groups worked virtually
hand-in-glove during the war, they have already effectively merged and would
like this "officially" acknowldeged (the Preisthood of the Oracle and the
Order of Lucia would become one entity, much like the Knights Templar and
the Temple of Solomon during the Crusades)
Title: Train more Warmages. (3 of 5 years)
Actions: 3, 4
The Archmage seeing that the warmages are trying to learn. Leaves them

this ongoing action to +1 and for the first time, everyone concerned begins
to hope for long term gains.
Action 5. Persasion. (2 of ? years.)
Archivest Kabald will try to get an apointment with Granthatan. He has
had no luck with other avinues so he will try the old man. It is
rummored that he has the Archmages ear.
Primary Determinant: Sholastic Sophistication ( Suerb +3 )
Secondary Determinant: ?
Difficulty: Hard (-1)
Weight: Singal
Actors: Archivest Kabald
Secrecy: No
Modifiers: A lot of odd modifiers at work here but I think they would all
balance out.
Honestly, this action looks really familiar so I may have already resolved
it and forgotten, I'm not sure. Odd, deja vu.
+3-1+(+0+0-1-1)=0
The results of Kabald's activities leaves him even more
mystified than before. It seems that the Archivist Granthtan is even more
difficult to find and see than the Archmage BUT by seeking Granthtan, he
attracts the attention of some of the very people who previously turned a
deaf ear to his inquiries. Kabald finds himself placed in the queue for an
audience with the Archmage but with the caution that he is not to inquire
any further regarding Granthtan and with no definite date for the audience.
It is intimated to Kabald that his perseverance on this matter may
jeopardize his life although no specific threats are ever made. A long and
odd year for a librarian to be sure.
