381YE Spring Equinox winds of fortune
Interlude
The Spring Equinox winds of fortune will come out shortly before the next event (which is June 16th, 2017). However, there are a number of significant things arising from the Winter Solstice that may affect some players' Downtime actions - primarily effects on personal resources.
As a temporary measure we'll be outlining, and offering some context for, these various effects on this page. In each case, there will be further information in the Spring Equinox Winds of Fortune - once they're ready, they'll replace this content.
As always, these are quick OOC summaries to explain effects such as large-scale enchantments and curses. We'll cover all these and more when we start to present the Winds of Fortune for next event.
Warfare
As usual, players who control a military unit have several options to choose between. Anyone who chooses the option to support an army will be able to review the in-character orders given by each general, as well as learning where each Imperial army is deployed over the downtime period.
The Imperial Senate has given the Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies the power to control where the Imperial guerdon applies and that power has been employed. Until and unless the Quartermaster amends the list only military units supporting the following armies will receive a share of the guerdon:
- Black Thorns
- Hounds of Glory
- Wolves of War
- Liathaven Spy network
This means that a military unit that supports any other army, or that chooses to defend a fortification or assist a special project such as a spy network, will receive nothing other than their standard 18 rings personal income, and will not be counted in the guerdon calculation.
At Crow's Ridge
There are events in Crow's Ridge. TBC
Jarmish Trade
The Imperial Senate has been seeking closer ties with the Principalities of Jarm (as described in the recent winds of fortune). This means that Imperial traders who visit Kavor, Vezak, or Rigia will receive a little something extra in their pockets - an ingot of green iron, a mote of crystal mana, or a measure of dragonbone respectively.
Whittletown
The Tassato Chamber of Commerce has voted to allow the people of Whittle to buy real estate in Mestra as described in Winds of Fortune. This may have longer-term implications, but for now it means that 50 ingots of green iron are being spread among the businesses and farms of the territory. They won't show up as part of your production, as they are allocated after downtime closes.
