Opening

The grand banquet hall of the mansion is filled with anticipation as stewards and lords gather, awaiting the arrival of their liege. A hushed murmur sweeps through the room as the liege enters, offering gratitude to the lords and acknowledgment to the stewards. The liege's voice resonates through the hall as an announcement is made - a test of administrative prowess and leadership.

As you assess your competition, you recognize some of the lords, renowned for their battlefield exploits. Their swords may have sung in valor, but you wonder about their aptitude for management.

Plain Estate

With a confident resolve, you choose to steward over a plain estate, the horizon stretching endlessly beyond your window. Fields of vibrant greens and bountiful crops paint the landscape, occasionally interrupted by the presence of livestock. It's a tranquil, albeit uneventful view. Soon, you arrive at your designated estate, where representatives await, eager to welcome you as their new estate manager.

Mud Pits

Upon your arrival, you embark on a survey of your new plain estate. The defining feature of this land is the abundance of mud pits, each holding a wealth of rich, quality mud. This mud holds the promise of becoming the raw material for pottery and bricks of remarkable craftsmanship. Yet, as you assess the situation, you realize that unlocking this potential requires the skilled hands of a craftsman.

For now, the mud pits remain untouched, a tempting reservoir of potential wealth that will have to wait. In the absence of a skilled artisan, the mud pits serve as a playground for the estate's children, who find joy in molding and shaping the malleable substance. Your initial focus must be on farming, as you patiently await the day when the craftsman arrives, enabling you to harness the full potential of these valuable natural resources.

Year 1

📝Encouraged More Merchant Visits

In your inaugural year, you make a strategic choice to attract an increased number of traders to your estate. Implementing various strategies, you endeavor to create an inviting environment that beckons merchants to your doors. However, the sustainability of this influx remains uncertain. The true test lies in your ability to devise methods that will ensure their continued patronage. Without such measures, the heightened trade activity may prove to be a temporary surge.

📝Established a trade route with Lexis

You've chosen to compensate a traveling merchant with your livestock in order to establish a trade route with Lexis' town estate.

📝Raised taxes on Foreign Merchants

In response to local merchants' plea, you raise taxes on Lexis' merchants, relieving the struggling locals. However, this decision may lead to economic retaliation by Lexis, with uncertain consequences for your local merchants. Meanwhile, local peasants fear that Lexis' merchants leaving may force them to sell to locals at lower prices, affecting trade dynamics.
