Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/Journey to the End of Year Auction
The road back to your estate is a solemn one, marked by the weight of the sacrifices made in the defense of Alushaar's estate. The valiant vigilantes and soldiers who accompanied you on this perilous mission did not return, and their memory lingers as a tribute to their courage and devotion.
However, your involvement in the defense effort did not go unrewarded. Alushaar's compensation for your assistance was more than generous, providing a significant financial boost to your estate. It's a reminder of the value of unity in times of crisis.
Once you return to your estate, you promptly proceed to collect the taxes from your loyal locals, who appreciate your leadership and resilience in the face of adversity. This collection, coupled with other resources, nets you 3 gold, strengthening your estate's financial position.
With your treasury secure and your estate on the path to recovery, you make preparations to journey to your liege's castle. The end of the year auction is on the horizon, and it presents an opportunity to secure assets and resources that will aid in rebuilding and fortifying your estate.
As you set out on the road to the auction, your heart is filled with determination and hope, ready to face whatever challenges and opportunities the future may bring. Your commitment to the well-being of your estate remains unshaken, and you're eager to explore the possibilities that lie ahead.
Attacked!
While waiting in line to enter your liege's castle, a messenger from your estate arrives with distressing news. It appears that a band of pirates has raided your estate in your absence. The loss of your men in the battle against the Demolisher left your estate defenseless. According to reports from locals, the pirates were accompanied by a noble who seemed to be searching for something within your estate, while the marauders he brought with him looted and pillaged the property.
Outcome: Uncovering the Pirate's Origins
In your quest to uncover the origin of the marauding pirates and their ties, you enlist the services of a renowned mercenary celebrated for his exceptional tracking skills. You allocate 3 gold to secure his expertise, and after several weeks of diligent investigation, he returns with valuable information that sheds light on the situation.
The skilled mercenary's findings unveil the pirates' roots, revealing that they originated from Njal's estate. According to local accounts, the noble who had accompanied the pirates made inappropriate advances towards the residents, further cementing the connection between Njal and the marauders.
In his pursuit of the truth, the mercenary ventured to Njal's estate, where he confirmed the pirates' association with Njal. The residents are profoundly disheartened by the noble's dubious choices and actions.
With this newfound knowledge, you now have the opportunity to decide how to proceed in light of Njal's involvement with the pirates, which may have far-reaching consequences for both your estate and Njal's reputation.
