A reverse engineered blessing?
It in fact may explain why they at least could 'steal' blessings, because they technically done it before...🤔

The original revenants were created by spirit magic not a blessing. It is basically spell that worked by spirit magic that Urth figured out how to do using arcane magic.

So, just so that no one else needs to check. I looked through and found what techs we got this turn. Our Indexing went from Proto to actual Indexes. The Forluc got a written language using logograms. And Scrying went from a limited to basic magic. Which are all pretty useful things. Especially Indexes, actually being able to find the information you want is super important.
Sidenote: Thoughts on Mainlining Expand Econ actions until we just have enough Econ that its listed as Effectively Limitless much like our Mystic is? Because that seems super useful.

2054 AG - Adventures of Urth
- Location
- Southampton, Great Britain
- Pronouns
- He/Him
The ancient known as Urth looked upon the town of Taresse, a settlement that had almost twenty thousand individuals calling it home yet was younger than Urth by a few centuries. Full of the beings most commonly known as elves, Urth was not concerned by its current inhabitants, but those that would soon be coming.
Though rather or not the newcomers would become new inhabitants of Taresse remains to be seen. Given the success of Asfeptians so far, Urth doubted that the elves of Taresse would change the pattern and be about to withstand the might of the Asfept Empire.
Urth had to admit that the Asfeptians were an impressive bunch, even by her standards, easily the closest to the Arthwyd that he had found. Even then, she doubted that the Asfeptians come stand up to the Arthwydish or that their demonic magics were a match for the holy magics of her ancient rivals.
Even if they could not match the Arthwyd Empire, the Asfept Empire was powerful in its own right as the Asfeptians have been conquering northwards into elven lands since before Urth had arrived in them. Or at least they had begun their initial attacks about the same time that Urth had arrived. It was hard for her to tell the truth as she had not been there for such things and had not cared for the rumours at the time.
It mattered not. The Asfeptians were rising power as they had united their homeland and were now focused on conquering their neighbours into their arm using demon and bronze. And it was those two things that Urth was most interested in when it came to the Asfept. Before the Asfept, the only metalworkers that Urth knew of were the Arthwyd and even the metal tools beyond her homeland had originally come from the Arthwyd Empire.
Meanwhile the Asfept had discovered how to work metal on the other side of the world and Urth had calculated that she was more likely to acquire the knowledge of metalworking from the Asfept than she was from the Arthwyd. Even if she had to take it by force, the Asfept lacked any powerful deities like Arthryn to protect them so Urth feel very confident in her chances.
And then there was the demonic magic. The Asfeptians worshipped no deities or revered any spirits as they instead held faith to the demons that they summoned and bound to their wills. When it came to magical aid, the Asfept had chosen bargains over faith and Urth was very interested in just how they did that.
After all, she was always interested in her expanding her vast magical knowledge.
But Urth was also patient and she had promised Eira that she could do the scouting on this venture. Given how loyal Eira had proven, Urth had granted her daughter's request since her unwavering obedience needed to be repaid if her loyalty was to be kept.
Plus, there was the fact that Eira could do with the experience and this was an easy for Eira to acquire it with minimal stakes should she mess up.
Speaking of which, Urth could sense someone coming her way and even though the individual was an elven woman, a lithe thing with pale skin, blonde hair and green eyes, Urth knew it was her daughter. Afterall, Urth had been the one to reshape her daughter's body into what it currently was.
"Mother," greets Eira Urthsdaughter, slowing down as she nears her mother.
"Eira," replies Urth with calculated, but genuine fondness.
"It is as you expected," says Eira as she inclines her head, "Lord Cakir approaches with his retinue, a few hundred warlocks armed with bronze with a couple thousand levy using a mixture of copper and stone. They also have demons to aid them in battle."
"Good," states Urth, pleased that her scrying had paid off, "Anything else to add my daughter?"
"The people of Taresse will fight, but they are unprepared for it," says Eira, her head still bowed, "Like most of the elven people, they primarily rely upon magic in their lives and that extends to their fighting. And like the previous conquests of the Asfeptians, their battle magic is not strong enough to save them against the demonic pacts of the Asfeptians."
Urth weights up her options, taking only a couple of seconds to run the possibilities in her head and make her choice. Yet even as she has decided what she will do, Urth wishes to further her daughter's education. Eira has proven the most promising of her offspring that is hers and now that she is entering her thirties, Eira is reaching that age where Urth needs to stop treating her like a child. Even if Eira is still a youngster compared to Urth for she is approaching two thousand winters.
"My daughter, I shall intercept Lord Cakir and his fellow Asfeptians upon their arrival at Taresse," says Urth, "I shall wait until Lord Cakir makes his demand for surrender and then assault his position before he can begin his attack. Why have I decided to do this? Give the correct answer and I shall change your body back for you instead of making you do it yourself."
Eira pauses at the offer and Urth knows that her daughter is thinking over her answer rather than just considering the offer. Or at least she better be. Urth has expectations of Eira after all of the training that she has received.
"It is a good thing to annoy antagonising more people than you have to," Eira finally answers after a minute, "You are already going to make an enemy of Lord Cakir and the Asfept, but Taresse has no grudge against you so you can still earn their gratitude. By waiting until Cakir has committed to attacking them and then stopping him, you will save the people of Taresse and gain their thanks for doing something you planned to do anyway."
"That is correct," replies Urth, giving her daughter a pleased smile that causes Eira to beam back at her, just as Urth planned.
Even as she smiles to earn her daughter's affection, Urth reaches out with her magic and focuses it on Eira's physical form. Just as she has many times before, Urth reshapes it and magically altering her daughter's body, changing it from a lithe elven one to a bulkier human one. Eira's body becomes a younger version of Urth's own, blonde hair becoming black as green eyes shift to blue and her physique becomes the muscular, curvy figure that the Arthwydish consider to be the pinnacle of beauty.
It is times like this that Urth is reminded how little of the world Eira has experienced. The Arthryn and her people have been the greatest foe to Urth yet Eira has never encountered them, knowing of them only from her mother's tales and what rumour comes out of Urth's old stomping grounds.
Currently that news is that the whole place has frozen over in some sort of unnatural eternal winter. Worth checking out to see if anyone other than the Arthwyd and the Caradysh have survived. The Forluc might have made it as well, but Urth doubts that any other Riverlanders have survived.
Those thoughts pass quickly as Urth's spell ends as Eira is left in a twenty-winter old version of Urth's forty-winter old body. The two of them rightfully look like mother and daughter, something both women approve of.
"Mother," says Eira respectfully, but also eagerly.
"Yes my daughter?" replies Urth.
"May I join you in this battle?" asks Eira and Urth considers her daughter's request.
On the one hand, Eira could do with the experience and she should be more than capable of looking after herself. On the other, the demonic magic of the Asfeptians is still an unknown to Urth and she does not want to risk her most promising and only remaining daughter against an unknown variable.
So a test to see if Eira can prove herself worthy of partaking in this upcoming battle.
"If you are able to reach the battle, you may partake in it," Urth informs her daughter as she once again calls upon her magic to rewrite Eira's body.
Using an old spell that Urth likes to use when she needs to keep someone prisoner indefinitely, she begins to change Eira's physically form into solid stone before binding her daughter's soul to the statue that is technically her corpse. A variant of the Arthrynite's stone skin spell combined with Urth's own revenant ritual, it should prove a worthy test of Eira's skill. If her daughter can reach the battlefield when Urth has left her like this, then she can fight on it.
As things stand, Urth doubts that Eira will break it or counter it in time. She can certainly free herself within a few days, five at most, but the battle will be over by the end of tomorrow. And by then, Lord Cakir and his Asfeptians will be dealt with one way or another.
A little side-story that I have had on the backburner for a while and only just got around to getting most of it written up due to a desire to get it done before it becomes too outdated. It turns out that Urth being gone literally meant that Urth was gone as they had decided to go exploring first in the Far South and then the Far East. There is going to be a second part to this where Urth engages the Asfeptian army, but that has been taking a while to get right and I figured this would suffice for now. Expect the second part to be done some point after the next update.

Can't. If we're doing that, we're not doing something else. Pursuing Expand Econ like that means not dealing with present and upcoming issues and crises, which'll hurt our civilisation a lot more than not mainlining Expand Econ.
it certainly doesn't help with most non-economic current crises, but it does help any future crises since it gives us enough econ to handle those crises without issue.

You do realise that Urth left the Caradysh over two centuries ago right? They weren't lying about Urth being gone.

I suspect you were wary of the Caradysh because you thought Urth was alive and leading the Caradysh behind the scenes, where it turns out she left the Caradysh a long while before the Ice Age even hit.
Nothing has changed that'd demand a new look at the Caradysh. All this time we thought Urth wasn't with the Caradysh and that turned out to be right. She's been nowhere near the Caradysh. All their actions thus far have been of their own will. Urth didn't even guess that the Caradysh would save the lowlanders.

It sounds like Urth just left. Which I'm kinda fine with honestly, they're not in charge anymore, hasn't been for generations. Doesn't matter if she was dethroned or just left to me. We might have an issue if he comes back and takes over, but unless that occurs he's a non-issue.
I see no reason why Urth couldn't leave a few instructions and a to-do list of things that must be done before her return. After all, it's just been 200 years, that's like ten years in Urth-time, and the same is likely true for the rest of the older revenants.
Welcome to dealing with immortals, planning is officially something they can do rather than a distant daydream.

That is assuming he/she had the influence to ensure they actually followed it...
If a 2000 year old Immortal Archwizard tells you they are going to take a few centuries' break from ruling your society so they can travel to new places, study foreign magics and become enormously more powerful, and that they expect you to have things in order when they return, you, a merely 1000 year old Immortal Wizard, probably do what they say because you honestly aren't sure you can win a magic duel and really it's to your benefit anyways.

Still using that body? Huh, I thought Urth would of ditched that recognisable body when Galdaes natural lifespan was up, though I suppose the body is only recognisable if Urth wants it to be and everybody who could recognise it is long dead anyway.

After securing the Forluc as a semi-puppet via Galdae's body, Urth swap bodies with someone else so he could get back to his studies while someone else handled the Forluc. That body was female and Urth is still using even if it has been heavily modified over the centuries.
...Seems like Urth may be more interested in knowledge than much else... 🤔

Urth wants power first and foremost, which translates to knowledge because knowledge is power. Something that is especially true when it comes to magic, which Urth values the most when it comes to different types of power.

The price that the Arthwyd had to pay to the Caradysh was a hefty one, but one considered worth it to drive the undead abominations out of the land full of the living, even if said living were barbarians. Restoring the heartlands of the Forluc would certainly ensure the loyalty of the Forlucans and meant that the authority of the Cadlon had been preserved without having to resort to bloodshed.
With sharing the precious secrets of metalworking not even being considered, it was ultimately decided that giving the Caradysh 'free' passage was the best deal to make. While many argued for going to war with the Nersondur, the majority of those in Greenbay felt that the Arthwyd should not expend who knows how many generations Arthwydish blood and resources to protect and uphold the Caradysh Empire. It would be a bitter potion to swallow but allowing the Caradysh to walk amongst Arthwydish lands like any other foreigner was the best choice out of a series of bad options.
Despite what was technically agreed to, neither the Northerners nor the Foresters were stupid. No one was under any delusion that any undead abomination would be allowed in a shrine or temple or anywhere else important and if they attempted to force the issue, then the deal would be off and the Arthwyd Empire and the Caradysh Empire would go to war.
Nonetheless, many were unhappy with this state of affairs and with the new colony in the Far East, many members of the Arthwyd decided to join their brethren over in the Halbarnwyd as they sought to put as much distance between themselves and the hated Caradysh. Even if it meant leaving the homeland of the Arthwyd and the Goddesses.
While it meant less manpower available for the Arth Coast, the Arthwyd had no shortage of manpower and the additional population for Halbarnwyd meant that the young colony would be able to establish itself better. That was certainly beneficial for the Arthwyd Empire as was the fact that all of the unhappy individuals leaving for the Far East meant that they were not causing trouble back home for the Cadlon and the rest of the Arthwydish leadership.
Which was a good thing as the flashpoint of the last generation had been averted. The Forluc got their land back without a war or defying the Cadlon's authority while the Arthwyd had avoided a war with either the Caradysh or the Nersondur without giving up any of its secrets.
The Forlucans have quickly gotten to work to establishing their authority in their newly reclaimed lands. Meanwhile the other barbarians within the Arthwyd Empire got a semi-civilised approach to their own expansion as instead of just expanding where they could, they did a mixture of founding new settlements and building up the infrastructure of existing towns and villages.
For their part, the Arthwyd Empire was focusing on its roads as there was a general desire to make overland transport easier and to allow for swifter transfer of both goods and information. After all, the Arthwyd Empire was dependent on its ability to get information and resources where they were needed in a timely manner and without that, the Arthwyd would not be a united people, but a series of independent communities.
Meanwhile the Caradysh Empire continued its fight against the Nersonduran invaders. The balance of power continued to swing in the favour of the Caradysh as the Foresters continued to hold back the Nersondurans yet there was all that they successfully did. The Nersondurans were unable to push any further into the territory of the Caradysh Empire, but they were continuing to entrench themselves into the southernmost parts of the Lowlands with every generation.
Even as Caradysh revenants began to openly trade in Caermyr, a many amongst the Arthwyd were glad that they had avoided getting involved in the lowland brawl between the Caradysh and the Nersondur.
On a brighter note, there was some ambiguously good news that the Coughing Plague was finally gone and even the Forluc were keeping their own outbreak of disease under control, keeping it from spreading northwards into the rest of the Arthwyd Empire.

You will probably want to get more Temp Econ than you lose to avoid Bad ThingsTM.
A good turn. You got avoided getting into any wars, kept up the authority of the Cadlon and avoided a Forlucan uprising, which would have been the first time that an Arthwydish vassal has turned against the Arthwyd.
Meanwhile the Caradysh and Nersondur are going at it in the lowlands, the former seeing some success, but the later becoming a more permanent fixture with every passing generation.
Otherwise not much to say. You might want to be careful of Arthwydish dissidents going over to the Halbarnwyd. Not sure what you could do about it, but letting that becoming a regular or normal thing strikes me as something of a double-edged sword.
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.

A good turn. You got avoided getting into any wars, kept up the authority of the Cadlon and avoided a Forlucan uprising, which would have been the first time that an Arthwydish vassal has turned against the Arthwyd.
Meanwhile the Caradysh and Nersondur are going at it in the lowlands, the former seeing some success, but the later becoming a more permanent fixture with every passing generation.
Otherwise not much to say. You might want to be careful of Arthwydish dissidents going over to the Halbarnwyd. Not sure what you could do about it, but letting that becoming a regular or normal thing strikes me as something of a double-edged sword.
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.

Born Equal
While the choices of a person and the world around them can make a person greater or lesser, everyone is born equal to each other.
Pros: Decreased social stratification,
Cons: Decreased social stratification,
Bloodied, but Unbowed (Linked to Charitable Haven) Your people have suffered great loss, but you survive and you will recover. Blows that would break others merely leave you limping and your people have suffered enough of such blows to know how to recover and that they can recover.
Pros: Better at surviving and getting by in hard times, Bonus to dealing with disasters, Better resilience and recovery after suffering losses,
Cons: Harsher and ruthless,

Cons: Reduced Social Cohesion, Many think you weak,

Pros: Reduced Internal Discontent, Increased Resistance to Foreign Intrigue,
Cons: Increase stability loss from taking actions which harm the People,
Pioneering Ways

Pros: Increased Population Growth, Common Independent Exploration, Common Independent Expansion,
Cons: More mouths to feed, Common Uncontrolled Expansion,
Sacred Defence
The People do not abandon their own for it is their sacred duty to protect each other. They stand by their neighbours and community through thick and thin and do not yield when it comes to protecting their fellows for that is their duty as commanded by the goddesses.
