As the world changed our nation spend its time on building walls and roads, the new road runs from Rivermeet towards New Port and walls where build around Flint. This was done by organizing a lot of farmers during the time they where not busy on their farms and the nobles wanted to do this every year to help improve our tribe. The only problem was the order the walls where being build in as many considered Mid River one of the safest
settlements of our nation and complained that their town did not get walls first. The fact not all farms have been rebuild yet is another source of unrest.
[+20 land reform, -1 stability]
A small number of farmers have started to grow flax instead of grain as our towns grow larger and hides are getting more expensive each year as our hunters can no longer meet the demand, even with the hides bought from the Firal. The amount of linen made from the flax only used by the nobles during the hottest days of the summer but if more flax is grown more can afford to buy it.
[study flax farming done, farm flax action added to trade actions]
The nobles have ordered the production of enough longbows for our skirmishers and for some of our hunters. The scale armor promised to the Swamp dweller nobles who now live at New Port is also delivered.
There is talk that is time for a new great project for our nation or to continue an old one what did they decide to do

After departing from Lake Town our explorers travel trough the Firal lands towards the down the passage in the cliffs and from there onwards to the camp below the waterfall. Here they build pair of canoes and travel downriver to the Necromancers the lands are empty once the last Firal hunting camp is behind our explorers with single stone houses surrounded by smaller farms with large gaps between each one along the river. The main Town looks impressive at first surrounded by stone walls and with a port on the river but it is a settlement in decline as the area in the walls holds gardens and small farms instead of the packed houses one would expect inside the walls. Talking to the Necromancers reveals that it once was the center of a Kingdom reaching all the way to the sea but a civil war had split the nation into several pieces.
The main cause of the civil war was about the use of human sacrifice to power necromancy is the easiest way to power spells and rituals but it seems to corrupt its users and some most powerful necromancers even use it to live forever at the cost of regular sacrifices. These necromancers are called liches and there are six of them ruling small kingdoms to the south fighting each other and the main Necromancer city for power and sacrifices. In the town human sacrifice is banned and they form a loose alliance backed by the Firal keeping the Liches away from their town.
Untill we arive the town was called simply The town as it was the only town the locals knew of but now it going to need a new name. The Necromancers are looking for other sources of power then sacrifices and the practice of killing and buring healthy animals to power spells is not something our priest and farmers will support. Some of the Necromancers want to travel to our towns and live there giving us access to their magic and other are asking for our help in fighting the liches.

After the fighting at the start of the civil war slowed down a decade ago fighting between the Liches and the Town has been limited both sides have build stone walls and are unable to deploy their full army on attacks. The town relies on miltia's and allied hunters that cant leave their homes for long enough to siege the walls of one of the Liches.

Most of the fighting consist of raids between the Liches as they fight for resources among themselves.

[X] [Necromancer town] Ritual Town
This is the best I could come up with
[X] [Necromancy] Allow necromancy based on animal sacrifice
This is the most beneficial choice and we can ban sacrifices altogether once we got magic theory finished and can find an alternative.
[X] [Aid] Send both
Losing an ally is bad so lets prevent that from happening while also boosting our research
[X] [great forge] Send the crafters now
Best to get this over and done with
For faction actions I don't know what would be best other than improving our economy and finishing up research. We may need to start thinking about developing anti-armor weapons though. A Maul (Wooden hammer) would be a cheap option for breaking undead bones, a Mace would be a good all-rounder yet would be expensive in the amount of bronze used, and a Warhammer would need less metal than a mace yet would be the most advanced out of the 3. So Tier 1-3 of blunt-force weapons. Alternatively an axe would be great, it has just enough heft to crush through armor yet needed minimal research, the drawback is that they are horrible in a duel against a skilled opponent since it has no hand protection so it will be very difficult to block and not have the enemy sword slide down the handle and slice the axe user's fingers. Used with a shield, however then they don't need to defend with the axe. The axe and shield combo would synergies really well.

[X][task] Teach our leaders to read
[X][task] Build market [Riverbend]
[X][task] Build shrine [Rivermeet]
The stone wall completes the elders' quest, and teaching our leaders to read has been on the agenda for a while (and we can afford it now)
@sunrise, how much does an action to build the great forge cost?

[X] [Necromancy] Ban the practice
I am opposed to the practice of necromancy. Once it becomes widespread, there will be a perpetual temptation for rogue elements in our own society to indulge in human sacrifice and become incredibly powerful, along with a temptation for us to sacrifice human(oid) enemies for power. I recognize that the practice has benefits, but in the long run I don't think it's a good route to go down.
I don't oppose allying with the necromancers, but I oppose practicing it ourselves.
Alternatively an axe would be great, it has just enough heft to crush through armor yet needed minimal research, the drawback is that they are horrible in a duel against a skilled opponent since it has no hand protection so it will be very difficult to block and not have the enemy sword slide down the handle and slice the axe user's fingers.
I think you're overthinking it, inasmuch as many warriors throughout history used two-handed axes as weapons and presumably had ways of protecting themselves adequately. That said, a shield and a one-handed axe is a VERY popular combination.
The current cost where to high reduced them to:
Cost: 1 base crafters 1 bronze per turn when completed
Cost: 2 current crafters 2 bronze per building action
