The year is AD 8993. Alfred the Great, First King of the Anglo-Saxons, has ruled the throne of Wessex for generations. With his wisdom and strength of arm at the helm, Wessex has flourished and thrived even with the constant pressure of Viking attack lingering in the back of all men's minds.
But Alfred's time is coming to a close.
His Thanes held the line for generations, but they are not enough. Not in the face of such rabidly ferocious Norsemen.

[X] Plan Charge It!
-[X] Purchase the Warrior Saint's Bell, a Growth Decoration that aids in coordinating allies and subordinates on the field of battle. Granting instinctual knowledge of your actions to up to (Decade) Allies, as well as more general transmission of your will to all allies in earshot. This allows for easy use of coordinated attacks, and raises the bar to suffer from collateral damage considerably. (5 Wealth, will not be available later)
-[X] Purchase the Nail of Martyrs, a Growth Decoration that aids in piercing even the toughest hides, reducing Damage Reduction against your attacks by (Decade x 5), as well as producing (Decade) Zeal per year. Also has an effect on Rebuke and other forms of Denial equal to (Decade/2), stacking with other effects. (3 Wealth, will not be available later)
-[X] Commission a Superior Lance–this is a simple enough project for the artisans in Bornholm, with most of the expense simply in having a material that can regrow when it's inevitably broken. You have a few options with this… (There's plenty of artisans in Bornholm, you'll get another chance before you leave–though certainly not at a discount, so expect a 2 Wealth cost)
--[X] Order it now, with the understanding you'll collect it when you leave (1 Wealth)

--[X] Order it now, with the understanding you'll collect it when you leave (1 Wealth)
-[X] Put in an order for a shipment of Bornholm Shale–this is a Stone Foundation Material that will count as a Resilience material, raising your Damage Reduction by 10 for the cost of 2 Stone Slots. (2 Wealth now–2 more by the time you leave, for 4 total)
-[X] If you really feel you need a little more coin, there's a fair resale market here too… You could sell one of the pieces of equipment you don't need, or potentially unload the full set and maybe get a little extra. Of course, you won't have these to distribute or sell elsewhere later in that case…

[x] Plan: loads of money!
