Another major change that reshaped the People of Newshore at a fundamental level was how their economy worked. While they still used a barter economy like their neighbours, it became more dominated by the traders and wants and desires of those partaking in it.

The traders of the Nersondur Republics were already influential and had a hand in every major trade market. Without only limited competition, they became skilled at figuring out where best to buy and sell different goods, greatly increasing their own wealth and power.

The various republics from the Newland to the Sunset Forest to the Hot Hills also focused on internally for a bit. While the traders were bringing wealth and riches to the Nersondur Republics and its people, that wealth was being used to improve island of Newshore.

Trails and paths between the various settlements of the Nersondur Republics were found and then formalised and before long, most of the villages on Newshore were connected by dirt paths and trails. Despite the divides between the Nersondur Republics, no one oppose these acts of cooperation as no one had a reason to not desire easier travel and many had reasons to want such a thing.

The traders want it to be easier to reach the customers and sellers in other villages while the elders wanted closer ties with each other to back each up against their rivals. The shamans wanted to have closer cooperation and easier knowledge sharing with each other and the hunters were grateful for their long journeys being easier.

The shamans also took the opportunity to push through some serious cooperation between the various groups of shamans in each republic as they sought to form closer ties while attempts to understand the spirits better. Getting the support of the traders who had an interest in potentially getting wealth from the spirits, the shamans spent a few generations in intensive study of the spirits of the world.

While not always successful and often perilous, the shamans build up an impressive amount of knowledge regarding the spirits and how to tame them for power. Spirits could be found everywhere, but not all spirits were equal as they greatly varied in power. While some of the greatest spirits were completely beyond the shamans of the Nersondur Republics, others were not.

The shamans figured out how to bind the weakest of the spirits, letting the shamans tap into their power. While the shamans weren't sure what to use that power for yet, they were certain it would be useful for something. At the moment, the shamans would bind spirits as trophies and pets, a sign of prestige for how good and powerful a shaman is and by the time that the shamans were able to reliably capture the weakest, a few bold shamans were already going after some of the stronger ones.

Yet even as the Nersondur Republics looked inwards, there was trouble brewing aboard. For countless generations the Stormfolk and Oldlanders had fought each other in a back and forth battle for the Oldlands.

Now the balance of power had tipped in favour of the Stormfolk as the Stormfolk have recently gained several major victories over the Oldlanders, driving their rivals back and becoming the greater power in the Oldlands and perhaps the world.

For the Nersondur Republics, this is not an acceptable state of affairs as many feel that the Nersondur Republics are greater than the Stormfolk. It is just a matter of proving that fact to the rest of the world. The elders push for doing that and while their power is fading, they have the support for the hunters.

One of the most influential groups within the Nersondur Republics, the hunters have always pushed for striking back at the Oldlanders and Stormfolk. They desire to earn glory against their foes in battle and to plunder and loot their villages.

In the past, their desires have been restrained , but that isn't going to be the case for much longer.


You have three Secondary Actions. Two Secondary Actions make a single Main Action. No plan voting or write-ins.
Please tag actions as [SEC] & [MAIN].



Alright, you start your first main turn, you get to see your stats. Right now you got good trails and shrine coverage and some decently strong values. You also have a lot of actions with three player secondaries and seven province secondaries.

Due to the game just properly starting, there isn't much going on right now, but the Stormfolk have just become King of the Hill and your elders and hunters want to change that state of affairs.

Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.
