Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/The Arrival of a Traveling Circus
A colorful and vibrant circus has arrived in your estate, bringing with it a menagerie of exotic creatures and dazzling performances. The locals, from peasants to minor nobles, are buzzing with excitement as such spectacles are a rare treat in your estate. The circus showcases everything from brilliant, colorful birds to massive, awe-inspiring creatures from distant lands. Among the creatures are some that resemble monsters, but the circus workers insist they are rare beasts from the far-off Beluaterra.
Your people are eager to attend the circus, craving the entertainment and marveling at the wonders of these exotic creatures. Your local merchants are equally enthusiastic, seeing a fantastic opportunity to profit from the influx of visitors to your estate. They anticipate not only your own residents but also people from neighboring estates will flock to witness the circus performances.
However, the head priest of Lux Nova holds reservations about this extravagant event. He believes that the circus could distract your people from their daily routines and potentially lead to a decrease in temple attendance, resulting in fewer donations to the faith.
The decision is now in your hands: Will you grant permission for the traveling circus to set up in your estate and entertain your populace, boosting both their spirits and your tax revenue? Or will you heed the concerns of the head priest and decline the circus's request to maintain the sanctity of temple rituals and teachings?
Outcome: The Chaotic Yet Successful Circus
After carefully considering the head priest's concerns and your people's desire for entertainment, you decided to allow the circus to perform in a designated area just past the temple of Lux Nova. This compromise ensured that visitors would pass by the temple before indulging in the circus's marvels. The strategy worked, as people began visiting the temple before heading to the circus. This alleviated the donation issue raised by the head priest.
However, a new problem arose as the head priest complained about the loud noises and animal smells emanating from the circus. Despite this, you persisted with your decision, and it bore fruit in unexpected ways.
During one of the circus performances, it became apparent that some of the exotic creatures were indeed monstrous and uncontrollable. Chaos ensued as these creatures broke free and went on a rampage. Fortunately, your vigilantes were strategically positioned between the temple and the circus. They valiantly intervened, risking their lives to halt the monstrous beasts. In the process, some of your vigilantes lost their lives, reducing their numbers.
Despite the loss of some vigilantes, the circus event proved highly satisfying to your local residents. Your local merchants saw substantial profits, contributing significantly to your coffers through taxation. You managed to accumulate enough tax revenue to fill three chests with coins.
While the head priest voiced his displeasure regarding the loss of your guards, he appeared to be somewhat appeased by the increased donations flowing into the temple. Overall, the circus event brought both joy and economic gain to your estate, though it came at the cost of brave vigilantes who defended your people from the monstrous creatures.
