Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
I think the ability to focus Snowblossom on Shenglu and the have the river spirits focus on trade would be perfectly sufficient for our needs. Shenglu is going to be the absolute focus of our attention for a good while anyway and our Cai resources make trade less important in the short term. Once those fall off a bit the river spirits should be established and available to pick up the slack.
 
Shenglu focusing on the urban center, while Zhengui focuses on the land around it, has a pleasant duality to it.
Two very different things, joined together to become a harmonious whole.
 
So, just a thought.
River and potential future canals might end up as daughter spirits to Shenglu?
And we are intending our precious boy to get married to her.

Is Ling Qi about to become a grandma?

I like big lakes, and I cannot lie. :cool:

Also, this will encourage growth in the greater province. Development alongside the river will also help with agriculture, and possibly help protect our local spirit-beaver court.

We already have possible candidates to take over the lower and upper river (Heizhui and Cui), so...

I like to set things up for the long term, even if it's somewhat slower and less beneficial in the short term.
With this, we would not need to set up different rituals for different places along the river; all new settlements would already know what to do for the rituals.

We could maybe even start peparing the grounds for new settelments early as all would be connected by one spirit who could already make the areas around the river "tame" and more hospitable for anything we want to build there.

If bigger spirits really do care "less" about how humans act, we likely will also have an easier time adapting as our area of influence grows.
While we don't really need a lot of trade right now because of Cai funding, that funding is still limited, and if we really want to grow, we need trade.
I mean, that was even one of the things at the summit.
We are the closest town to the border. If we play our cards right, then a lot of the trade between the Empire and the Polar nation would go through Snowblossom, so the easier trade on the river is a really big benefit.
 
With the bit with Gui talking about the lake and Zhen hissing, I do wonder if Zhengui is eventually going to get a tribulation about their "separation." Because I imagine there's been a fair amount of times where one of the "two" has said something and the other disagreed out loud, because one of the advantages of appearing as two people while being one is that you get to "be of two minds," if you'll pardon the pun: you get to say and think things without committing to them. Of course I, Zhen, do not mean that; it was foolish Gui! Oh, ignore Zhen, he's just being mean. It's a have your cake and eat it too situation and I expect they'll have to confront that eventually.
