Note that spreading then out isn't spreading them out to provinces like Rockbay and Sunrise Bay, but spreading them out to subordinate vassals like the Merntir and Grythwyd.

@Oshha does this extend to the more barbarian subordinates like the Maradysh, Zaradysh, Raradysh and Tordysh or does it only involve the culturally Arthwydysh parts?

For example, if we wanted to keep take in every Lowlander and Cernn refugee but keep out the Forluc for whatever reason. Or if we decided the Cernn need to stay home and help their communities rebuild.

Since the last time we had refugees the Maradysh have started counting as a Religious Subordinate, so normally they'd probably be taking in refugees too. Might not be doing so right now because of the civil war though.

The Arthwyd themslves, Merntir, Grythwyd and Caermyr are all culturally Arthwydish, but the rest of the Arthwyd Empire are not. The Maradysh are mostly Arthrynite, but they have their own distinct blend of Arthwyd and lowland culture

Click to shrink...

You might share the same religion as Arthrynites, but the Arthwydish and Maradysh cultures are different and the people belong those cultures see themselves being separate cultures.

Unfortunately for Garth, things didn't go nearly that neatly. Predictably, the Zarannists resisted Garth's measures with force and launched a revolt against the Cadlon. Given their size, this wouldn't have been enough to call the affair a civil war, but then other factions within the Maradysh decided to get involved. The three most influential clans within the Maradysh, the Bloodspillers, the Sharpstones and the Pathwalkers, used this incident as a sign of Cadlon Garth's incompetence and proof that Clan Rivertongue was unfit to remain as the rulers of the Maradysh.

Click to shrink...

The Maradysh are less community focused and more individual/family focused where everyone looks out for themselves and usually their family as well. They can work together as the various disasters which have befallen them have taught them that sometimes it is in your best interests to work with everyone else to survive the current crisis. The Maradysh prioritise themselves and their families first and foremost with their local community and the greater community being considered when helping them out benefits you and your family.

Click to shrink...

There's a distinction to be drawn between Arthrynite and Arthwydish.
The Maradysh had a bias to their family/clan. Even the Arthrynite Maradysh appear to have this bias, with the current civil war being the mess it is because the families/clans viewed their community through the lens of bloodlines and decided to seize an opportunity for their family/clan/bloodline.

They might be significantly more reluctant to take in outsider refugees than Arthwydish Arthrynite communities.

 

[JowKeen]

I'm actually 100% supportive of integration votes. Our Culture value is 1, so I assume it'll be about converting the masses to Arthrynite religion. Arthrynite religion is excellent, and tied closely to our cultural values and government. Something interesting to note:
[] [React] They study the twin secrets of metal and magic.

this seems to tell me that "magic" is capable of being done outside of the Divine, given that the Caradysh have done secular blood sacrifices and are well known to be magical evils.

This is actually probably an option that was assumed to be more tantalizing, but "Boats + Messengers" "Improved Integration" "stockpile food" and "crush Rebels" are all more in-line with our culture than advancing technology when our people have needs to be met.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's also interesting to know that our administration is likely how we know/learn of our subjects, not diplo. That means we have an exceptionally advanced view of our subjects, since Administration has consistently been a focus of our culture since day one of first thread.

This makes me think that others are correct about our Diplo not being underdeveloped. Diplomacy is something that is very important in trade, and for interactions between peers. We have no peer neighbors except perhaps Caradysh, who is both evil and should be burned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think Improved Integration combined with spreading the incoming peoples out is gonna be . . . interesting. Thankfully this wave has a variety of culture groups in it, and the mix will help reduce the odds of fractioning and/or becoming isolated pockets of minority culture within Arthwydish lands. Arthwrynnite teachings and Arthwydish sensibilities will probably passively convert migrants over as they see the harvests and community which survives better these ice age woes.

Maradysh did eventually convert to the degree that they're considered Arthwrynnite. I'm hoping that all of those vassals which are not accepting refugees are investing in Arthwrynnite mysticism. I have no problem accepting more children to Arthwrynn's pantheon. It's like the Inca, or Rome's early pagan traditions, in which other religions were allowed to fold into theirs so long as they were not dominant.

For Rome they had to be subservient or a face of an existing deity. For the Inca the Sapa Inca was First Among Equals and all would sit at the table but the Sapa Inca was at the head. With the living Sapa Inca being the ruler of the empire and the Ancestor Sapa Inca the rulers of the Divine Pantheon/Empire.

There are lessons to be learned from this Civil War event. I wonder what the options will be, when we resolve it.

Our Study Magic action during Steady Times got us Ymarnite Fertility Boosting Magic. Divine Magic is still a form of magic that can be studied, even if the allowed spells are restricted by the nature and beliefs of the deity.
The actions all seem to map to our existing options. Even integration is probably just MAIN Venerate to strengthen our cultural identity.

Concentrating the refugees in the Arth Coast isn't the best play here. The Integrate action will have a finite effect, and if you're doubling down on refugees that effect is getting spread out over more people. A -2 Stability choice versus an action that merely has a chance of giving a +1 should give an idea of the disparity. We should send refugees to our subordinates who themselves will be able to do their own integrate actions to help the refugees.

 

[JowKeen]

wait you think Venerate is going to map to Integrate? Doesn't that mean we've got a solid chance to go over-stability here?

Normally it's impossible to go over the caps of Stability and Legitimacy. It only happens after special events, not simply by taking Stability/Legitimacy-boosting actions. Venerate won't take our Stability over 3, nor will it increase Legitimacy any further.

The existence of arcane magic is stated on the opening page.

Magic can be divided two categories, arcane magic and divine magic. At the very core, they work the same and the main difference between the two is that the latter has a god involved.

[X] [Haven] Accept every last refugee and spread them about the Arthwyd Empire. (-1 Stability, -3 Temp Diplo, -1 Temp Mystic, +3 Temp Econ next Mid Turn)
[X] [React] They focus on integrating the new masses of refugees.

As was traditionally the case, the Arthwyd Empire took in every refugee entering its borders. While the Arth Coast settled many of those fleeing turmoil and hunger at their old homes, a good portion of the refugees got sent even further north to either the Merntir or the Grythwyd.

With so many barbarians settling in civilised lands, the Cadlon of the Arthwyd decided to direct their resources to ensuring that no mishaps occurred. There were enough incidents when you had a handful of barbarians adjusted to Arthwydish life let alone when hundreds were coming.

So as the Catclaws and Cateyes slowly withdrew from the lands of the Maradysh and Cernn, the Arthrynite priesthood got to work as they did far many more festivals and celebrations to Arthryn and her Daughters than they would have normally done so. Beyond promoting the goddesses, the rituals that took place would help the newcomers learn the ways of the Arthwyd and adjust to their new lives.

This foresight would prove to be very useful as over the generation, it became clear that many of the refugees weren't interested in properly assimilating. While they would follow the teachings and guidance of Arthryn and her Daughters, the lowlanders only did so because those were the laws of the Arthwyd Empire. Most continued to hold to worship of Zaranna despite the pressure not to and while many did choose to convert to worshipping her daughter Galanna, a good number of the Arthrynite priesthood were sceptical of just how many of those conversions were genuine.

Nonetheless, things were going well enough. There were disruptions and upsets, but things were going better for the Arthwydish in the north than they were for those in the south.

For many, the impeding defeat of the Maradysh pretenders was pro forma and evitability that the heretics would not be able to escape. The Arthwydish sacred warriors slowly returned to their communities as those communities turned their resources from the war effort to focusing on helping the new refugees find their place. Instead, it was left to the Maradysh loyalists to deal with the final strongholds of the Maradysh rebels.

Cadlon Rhun Rivertongue of the Maradysh rallied up every warband and militia that he could before leading them into battle against the pretenders. It went nowhere easily he had expected as the rebel militias fought bravely to resist what they saw as an invading foreign force attempting to slaughter them in their homes. It had been generations since the fighting had first begun and after so many seasons of fighting, including two generations who had never known Arthwydish rule from Greenbay, the pretender clans and their supporters had grown a diverging identity to the Maradysh loyalists.

It had gotten to the point that none of the current pretender leaders had lived as part of the Arthwyd Empire, having spent all of their lives in revolt against it. None had any desire to be a part of it and after the intense fighting the previous generation, the desire to rule under over the Maradysh had given way to a desire to survive. As a result of this, the pretender clans had put aside their previous claims to being the Cadlon of the Maradysh to forming a new triumvirate in a vain hope to survive the future Arthwydish onslaught.

Putting up a new united front, the Maradysh Triumvirate found fiercely and with great skill. They had the home advantage and with their backs to the wall, they fought with every advantage that they could. They almost always fought to the last and barely ever broke before those invading their homes.

The story was the opposite for the Maradysh loyalists. There was no expectation of such unyielding resistance and when they ran into it, the attacking force wavered. With every brutal loss and every hard-fought victory, the morale of loyalists dropped ever lower. The final straw was when Cadlon Rhun died in a futile attempt to seize a settlement with stone walls by force, causing loyalist morale to plummet to the breaking point.

The Maradysh loyalists pulled back to the relief of the Maradysh Triumvirate as they got a brief respite since it was inevitable that the Arthwyd would return to finish the job.

Unfortunately, events further south would ensure that the Arthwyd Empire could not devote all of its attention to crushing the Maradysh Triumvirate once and for all.

It had been many generations since the nomadic tribes of the Boarfolk had united behind a warlord, but past times that they had have proven formidable enough that they were feared countless generations later. Even the Arthwyd knew to respect the might of a Boarfolk horde.

So when word of Warlord Kashkan came to the lowlands, all were worried about just where the first Boarfolk warlord in generations would direct his attentions. To the shock of many, it turned out to be the Cernn as the nomadic horde first rode west into the lowlands before heading south to the furthest part of the Arthwyd Empire.

For their part, the Cernn had spent their time since the last invasion fortifying their lands and doing their best to recover from Tomag and the Lochanysh. They put up many new palisades and the lessons of the past generation ensured that the newest one had a very martial bent to their upbringing.

Yet it would all prove to be for nought as nothing the Cernn could do was nought to prepare them for over ten thousand Boarfolk nomads swarming to their lands. Palisades failed to stop the Boarfolk tribes while Kashkan and his subordinates systematically smashed every attempt at resistance that the Cernn put up. Even the Aogan was no match for the Boarfolk overrunning the lands of his people with the best that the ageing warlord could do is inflicting slightly higher casualties before he was cut down by archers on boarback.

When news of Kashkan's actions reached the Arthwyd, there was outrage by the northerners. The Cernn might have been barbarians, but they were still part of the Arthwyd Empire and between the Thurezea and the Lochanysh, the Arthwydish were growing fed up with foreign barbarians launching unprovoked attacks the Cernn.

An age of war continued to rage on for the Arthwyd as while the Lochanysh might have been driven back, the Maradysh Civil War continued to limp on and the rise of Kashkan had all, but guaranteed that the lowlands would be seeing a lot of bloodshed.

Yet it wasn't all bad news as reports arrived from the Western Coast. Even since they had been first discovered, it had always been something of a dream for many within the Arthwyd to begin taming the griffins that called the Great Forest home.

The first stage in this dream have finally been achieved. While far from domesticated, the Grythwyd had managed to acquire enough griffin eggs that they have been able to begin to have raised a breeding population of griffins. Despite still being dangerous wild animals, these griffins bred in captivity are used to human interaction and able to somewhat live safely amongst the people of the Grythwyd.

As exciting as it is, the information on the tamed griffins isn't the only news from the Western Coast. The wise priestess Gaewyn has been something of a major figure amongst the Grythwyd for her renown wisdom and talent for the sacred teachings and holy magic of the Goddesses. With the coming of the Cold, Gaewyn has been devoting her attention and talents towards trying to find a way to deal with the issue.

After over two generations of trying, the priestess has finally since some success. Taking the fertility magic meant for humans, Gaewyn was able to figure out to do the same for plants like the Forluc could do. While she didn't use the same method as the lowlanders nor were her discoveries as effective as that the Forlucans had refined over generations, Gaewyn was able to make it easier for plants to survive and grow.

Not only that, but Gaewyn took her innovations a step further and came up with a new technique that allowed the divine magic of Ymaryn to be used to help the growth of crops. It didn't speed up the growth by much and in normal times, the usage of the spell would have negligible use. But these weren't normal times and as the Cold refused to relent even if it didn't grow worse, the new magic was certainly proving to be as valuable as Gaewyn hoped it would be.

Between the Cold and Kashkan's invasion, many people are being driven to the Arthwyd. How many refugees do the Arthwyd take in?

***​

So more turmoil to deal with through the latest threat is something the whole region has to worry about. Kashkan is a Martial Hero with a lot of Boarfolk nomads backing him up and he is the biggest threat the Arthwyd Empire has faced in a long time. Meanwhile the Maradysh Civil War continues to drag on as the rebels got lucky enough to hold on for now while the Little Ice Age continues without getting worse or better.

On a brighter note, the Grythwyd with their Mystic Hero got some good innovation rolls this update and now you not only got some tamed griffins, but you got a couple of farming-based spells.

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.
