A personal hand-written message to several of the heroes of Athesia from HooD. Unity Island is currently the only major city on the map. A beacon of harmony and hope, its citizens feel safe and purposeful. Expansion is obviously a key element to the safely and prosperity of Athesia, but we need more than just land and walls, we need a symbol. After some discussion with other heroes I believe we have formulated something of a plan for establishing the groundwork to create such a symbol. I hope that this city ignites hope and prosperity in the surrounding area, as well as being a center of trade, culture and justice. -The green tile is currently the capital of Asthvan's Kingdom, and it is based next to/on an obelisk. -The red tiles are where I hope we will be able to explore in the near future (3 year plan) with 0607 being the first priority as hopefully the river will provide transport for goods and troops between Unity island and said City. Me and Asthvan hope to create a City known as "The Gate to the Dessert", a center of trade and culture that will create strong links with the nomads of the wastes and the rest of Athesia. ![]() Here are the heroes that have shown and interest and the roles that they have suggested playing. Asthvan - Lord: Owner of the Land, in charge of building the city both physically and in spirit. HooD - Scholar: Research fortifications that rival that of Unity Island as well as better boat travel and universities for culture. Konrad - General: Expressed an interest in defending the city from invasions and generally protecting the area. Arianna - Scholar: As she has had a lot of work with obelisks we hope she can make the obelisk more stable and controllable. I then hope to base a university around it. That concludes a basic overview of some of the ideas that have gone into this. I expect that we will find many problems along the way, but as always, we will prevail. |

...small flaw... my intent was to begin to expand east, not west, so that I grow along the borders of Athesia and am bordering some of Francis' lands as I grow. 0608 was going to be developed into the Gate To The Desert, so I was intending to try to settle 0809 this year since the oasis seems to contain a lot of ancient relics that would be of worth studying. (Given 0809's proximity to an obelisk as well as being the site of aforementioned relics, I would suggest establishing the first university there, unless 0908 is settled before we can do so; if 0908 is settled, I would then prefer the university there since it then has proximity to 2 obelisks plus the aforementioned oasis relics.) Also, 0607 is already explored, so exploring it is not necessary. |

There is one further flaw, Konrad is sworn into the Light from Darkness as a vassal. I would prefer he aided me ot settle a capital within the plains. |

A significant amount of this plan has been put onto the back burner, so no need to worry about this for a good while yet. |

Regardless, Konrad may be a Vassal of Father Francis, however he is still a General capable of independent thought and decision making. He is entitled as a General to defend any lands that he sees fit to defend. |

Indeed being a vassal does not make him a dog on a leash, It makes you receptive, willing and equal allies who care about each other's goals and causes. |
