I have five chairs listed in my notes, but I'm not always careful about keeping track. I mean, they're all in the manor. Mint can just ask someone there how many chairs there are. The better question is: how many chairs remain uncollected?

On the topic of Mint's chairs. We all know how it will conclude. He is unknowingly collecting all the part of a dangerous chair golem that the land has not seen since ages unknown. It is more fearsome than 10 tarasques and will most likely bring an end to all ages.

Does The Empire just have a parasitical relationship with its cities? You would think being integrated more thoroughly into the Empire would also mean more infrastructure investment into it, such as financial assistance for the poor and stuff like that. What is Eridu doing that is against Imperial law? Do they have a big drug trade or something? This whole situation seems very curious. Come to think of it, if the Empire wanted them to be more integrated into itself, why wouldn't they just have the local guard put on imperial uniforms and hold elections for a lord mayor to act as the cities representative to the Imperial government proper, or really anything besides trying to treat them as a hostile force? It just seems to me that breaking up these cities into small pieces is not the answer. it feels like it would be better to just try to transfer the power of the emperor over time to a more democratic body, rather than to have everyone be isolated from one another. Either way, I love the whole adventure, I just think that the empire can't be all bad. I mean, how else could it survive for 13 ages, each ended by tulmultuous events which would probably topple any governing body based soley on tyranny? P.S. Is lord mayor the right name for such an official? It sounds good at least. It sounds cool at least. thechosenone fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Nov 28, 2014 |

I think you and Margaret are pretty much right. The Empire is probably giving more than it's taking when it comes to Eridu and Eridu would probably benefit from a closer relationship with it. If the party decides to smooth over the recent problems and re-integrate Eridu with the Empire it would probably be for the best. All that happened is the new Emperor lost a city and panicked, sending a large military force to the next most disputed territory. Not knowing what to do exactly, the new military guys, mismanaged, without a real mission, and bereft of a diplomatic wing, just started pushing people around. When the citizens protested things started escalating even further. It's not that they couldn't have just been friendly or used local officials or done basically anything else. They just screwed it up and now things are at a nasty spot. Now if the party was actually doing anything to fix the diplomatic problems the city would probably be a happy part of a peaceful government. Instead the main Empire supporter is advocating rounding up all the local leaders during a symbolically important event, the main opponent is sowing discord within the already mismanaged troops, and the rest of the party is meeting with radicals with the end goal of starting a riot. So... I guess we'll see what happens!

There are plenty of cities and towns that are happy to feel the effects of the young Emperor's expansionism and "hands-on" policies, but places where things are working hunky-dory aren't interesting for adventure stories. Mugeton had a better year than ever thanks to only having to worry about their generational tribute, instead of fending off dire wolves and orc raiders on top of it.

I can understand that. I am interested in why it wouldn't work for Eridu though, as it doesn't seem to have been expounded on yet. Did you have any specifics in mind that you didn't talk about in the videos? The world you have created for the game is very interesting, and I figure other people might be curious as well.

Eridu is a desert town with few threats, abundant oases, and more culture than Margaret can shake a bow at. besides, you may have missed the part where the Empire decided to march in because the Dwarven nation's equivalent Beaston was recently granted greater rights and the little big man baby emperor was afraid that his resident monster town would get ideas about personhood! heck to the oppressors, that's what I say. even Kod would find this pretty messed up and, let's be honest here, he was a fool. debate 13a politics with me. the greatest debater will receive a signed copy of the 13a expansion book, "13 Forms: The Complete Bureaucratic Structures of the Icons".

The Dragonspawn a generation ago were afforded rights somewhat equivalent to livestock (a lesser personhood primarily based on their usefulness as troops), and the emergence generation were often considered a born-evil, shoot-on-sight monster race. By carving out a slice of literal wasteland in the shadow of the Abyss, Eridu had the advantage of negligence. Now that being ignored is off the table it's time to see what the course of history will be. There are assimilationists, but they tend to move away to the Empire proper and don't have the numbers in Eridu to make much difference.

I still feel their best chance is to simply enact change peacefully and remain with the empire. The Emperor is young and impressionable, more ideologically malleable. Slots would do better to teach the kid the error of his ways through spooky ghosts special effects. This would also help all of the various non human races of the empire.

I enjoy how the rogue elements are acting like a reverse fellowship of the ring. Instead of uniting the people to fight their common foe they're instead dividing them making it easier for the demonic armies to divide and conquer them. What Bella said so long ago about them causing the apocoplyse while trying to stop it seems to be becoming more and more true.

I just figured if there was that much seperatist sentiment within the city, they would have just char broiled all of the guards by now and declared independence. I mean, Imperial troops are just normal guys, clad in either armor that will do them no good, or fry them from the heat it absorbs from the fire. Are there more troops in Eridu than Citizens? I am even more convinced now that the best solution to this is for Slots to do pull an A Christmas Carol and visit the young Emperor with three Ghosts which show him the error of his ways. It worked with The extremely stubborn Ebeneezer Scrooge, it should easily work for an impressionable youth such as the young Emperor. Even if Slots hates the Empire, this would still help so many people. On top of that, the Imperial palace likely has the best library in the empire, with secret documents useful for who knows what. making the Empire benevolent would do far more good than destroying it, which would do a lot of bad. Even if Slots wants to replace the Empire with a more democratic government, it would still make more sense and cause less damage for him to simply use subterfuge to create a faction within the empire to directly usurp control from the Emperor, since you would not have to rebuild all the diplomatic and administrative infrastructure within it. thechosenone fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Nov 29, 2014 |

They're probably better off sticking with the Empire for now and just petitioning for better rights. The new child emperor (whatever his name is) has already proven to be overzealous in protecting his territory, and unless Eridu finds themselves a powerful group willing to get into a scrap with the Empire, a try for independence would be more trouble than it's worth. Also, Margaret would probably try to kill the rest of the party before she'd give up a foot of imperial soil. Come to think of it, Regulus might be seated on imperial soil now...
