Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/Rojak Sethar

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.

📜💱A New Trade Route Established(With Lance)

Through the efforts of your resourceful merchants, a mutually beneficial trade agreement is reached with Lance's estate. This deal involves an equitable exchange: you will provide raw materials of a certain weight in return for manufactured goods of equal value.

📝Declined the Offer to Sell the Mud Pits

Rojak's estate declined the Fellish Merchants' offer for the mud pits, causing disappointment among the merchants. Craftsmen and local merchants support this decision, seeing long-term economic potential in developing the mud pits for high-quality pottery and bricks. However, minor nobles hoped for annual feasts through the merchant's offer and are slightly less pleased with Rojak due to the missed opportunity.

Year 2

📝Increase Crop Production and Trained Some Vigilantes

In your second year, you've made a strategic choice to place a greater emphasis on expanding crop production while concurrently dedicating efforts to train vigilantes for enhanced security.

📜💱A New Trade Route Established(With Njal)

A consortium of merchants from Njal's estate has forged a trade route with your estate, originating from Njal's own.

👨‍🌾Monster Invasion: Conscripted Farmers

You conscripted farmers to bolster your defenses against the monster invasion, leaving your crop and livestock businesses neglected. This sacrifice aims to protect your raw material production and manufactured goods, but it remains to be seen if this choice will prove effective when the invasion arrives.
