    Growing Airship Fleet Of House Dall - The Tessen Speaker
    With another Airship joining the roster of House Dall, many are starting to wonder what purpose the buildup in airships has, as no Imperial subjects would dare threaten the Prefter House. Some speculate that this is done to understand air travel logistics and better anticipate the needs for potential future expansions and independent creations. Indeed, some attempts to use Suspendium in native designs have been made, though not without danger.

    Rumblings Of Mercantile Endeavors - The Truthful Observers.
    For all that it is internally fighting to gain the upper hand over each other, the Merchant Guild occasionally bands together to make risky routes profitable, create infrastructure to better exchange wares, and seek new ways to transport more with less money. Such a thing is rumored to be happening in Tessen, as deals with the Pilgrims and House Dall seem to have been written up or negotiated, with the exact effects not yet discernable. Though what these supposed contracts entail, in detail, is not known, educated guesses have led many to believe that it involves the use of Airship. Undoubtedly, traveling through the air would provide a massive speed advantage over traditional land routes. Yet, one has to question how effective they will be or how many goods can be transported.

    A Consensual Opens Its Door In Tessen, Who Enters Will SHOCK You! - Rags, Rumors, And Rants
    With another Consensual opening its doors in Tessen, the number of paramours, customers, and night-life workers flocking to its halls grow ever higher. Already, barely two days after opening, were the Pilgrims forced to turn away would-be-workers, a situation which one Pilgrim described as: "A dire revelation how bad the situation is for many night-life workers. I doubt that even doubling our capacity would allow us to help all those who wish, or can, enter the Consensual." A situation that has not garnered any appreciable comment from Lady Tessen, even as her son has allegedly been seen entering the 'Mutated' section of the Consensual in the company of two workers. While shocking, Lord Abehle's apparent frequent visits with his wife to the Consensual have dismayed many shippers who...

    Back to the rolls, we should consider building another school or an orphanage. Our piety bonus is getting small and with us recruiting it's going to get even smaller.

    Huh, I was sure the bonus came up while the different tiers of theories got described. Oh well, is it still the 5 for Common, 15 for Advanced, etc. step per theory tier?

    We accidentalied a sub-cult! Given the origin of the Pilgrims, this is surprisingly unsurprising.:confused:

    What kind of drugs? Alcohol or harder stuff like the equivalent to heroin?
     
    I honestly think we have too many problems on our plate to tilt at the drug trade. We should keep our establishments clean and try to use our clinics to promote getting clean, but other than that it's not something I think we can do much about. A general plank of our faith being "Don't do drugs that fuck you up" is fine and all, but we are not set up to enforce anything on anyone.
     
    Treat drugs as a health crysis and offer softer ones while encouraging responsable use

    Just as we do with alcohol and fast food

    I'm not even sure this is a crisis yet. Quite frankly I suspect it's being driven by the increasing prosperity in the area. More money means people can afford more drugs. When trade kicks off with commercial airlines running goods, drugs are going to ship right alongside everything else even if it ends up in crew and passenger personal effects.

    What is the state of drug law in the Empire by the way? Booze seems to be legal, but where is the line drawn, or is there a line at all? Is the law uniform across the empire or set by local lords?

    Are they going to try and declare a crusade on us or something? Because that would work well. Very well.

    They are going to get to listen to us study and translate it as a historical document and point out each and every way they have diverged from their own doctrine. However, due to safety concerns and their own religious dogma, they will sadly be unable to see it in person.

    I want their Pope to die of a stroke.

    Not really. The COE are out of the region and I doubt they'll try to get back in for a few years. We should save that punch for when we meet them again.

    This is the sort of thing we can do that can do damage to them as a national organization. We should at least study it so that we have it as a weapon we can bring out whenever we need to.

    True. But it's also not a priority at the moment. We do not share space with the COE right now, so doing anything relating to them right now seems like a bit of a waste.

    Weaking their influence or causing them to schism or break up would improve the life of mutated all over the empire. That is not useless even if it does not directly benefit us.

    We are not sure of that. We know that it's the equivalent of an original evangelion, but we do not know if what is written will be enough to cause a scheme.

    Also I do not want to get into another fight with the COE so soon. We should let the situation stabilize fo a couple of turns before rocking the boat again.

    I hilariously entertain the idea of quietly copying it for translation and then openly donating it to the Church of Eden in the statement where we tell anyone about it in the first place.

    Confuse the everloving fuck out of them.

    The drug policy is entirely set by the local House in charge of a Region, and can swing from total prohibition to all legal. In Tessen, up to the equivalent of 'light' LSD is legal, though the sale and manufacturing is watched closely, and taxed highly.

    The only drug illegal in all of Slatnan is "Angel," a drug which gradually and permanently burns out any capacity of the human brain to feel anything else other than happiness. Users usually die after about 2-3 months.

    Depends heavily on what you will do. Anything, from them buying the book with +5000 Materials, to murdering you all, all the way over to a potential schism/s depending on what is in the book, and how close it is to their doctrine now.
