YEAR11

Slevadovia

Junior Advisor Franka: "Sir, the woman alchemist has gone into hiding. I've heard rumours that some Zalfirians are trying to kill her, and apparently she heard the rumours too. Because of this problem, the body-altering work cannot continue. The alchemist is the only one who knows the details of the research. We should station more guards in the capital, and especially the government buildings. And we should also check all of the houses in the capital for anything suspicious. And set up a curfew, to limit activity at night. We must protect our people from those grass eating devils."

Advisor Hussime: "That boy is suffering from paranoia. I'm sure she's just lost her time in one of Huesimakor's fine shops. Even in these times we must uphold the advantage of being Slavadovian: to enjoy great freedom. Do you know how much income will be lost if businesses cannot continue their work at night, and if our capital's logistics is slowed down by extra regulations?"

Advisor Augustus: "That ugly woman is a traitor. She must have returned to Zalfir, spilling all your secrets and plans. Or perhaps she is still here, thwarting your schemes. The witch. Why have you ever trusted her? Perhaps you should put a bounty on her head. Let the street scum take care of her."

Zalfir

Advisor Aleras: "The Cyprium coils in one of my labs have started to behave strangely. Preliminary research shows that the effect is not limited to that lab, but that it's something bigger. I expect that the anomaly is caused by some celestial body. This could be an event that affects the entirety of Jotnjordh. All I ask you is to provide some resources, so that we can research this properly."

Junior Alchemyst Frulir: "You know, the way the coils currently behave make them awfully powerful. And our enemies do not have proper technology to counter raw amber-power. Let's put cyprium coils on the back of the spiders, instead of the prisms. It'll be much more effective. Let's disintegrate those slevvies. Rah! Zap! Zap! BOOM! ..... Haha. Fun stuff."

Advisor Avaron: "I say disassemble those coils. No coils, no anomaly. Let's get back to the real matters at hand. I say put some more pressure on our laborers. We need enough resources if we want to win this war."

Equestria

Advisor Glimnir: "Hail Tobion. Hail Dash. Your Ladyship was informed about some strange tunnels through our Fyridium mines, quite a while ago. We now have good reason to believe that those tunnels were made by worms, who also happened to have become scarce of late. Not that we minded of course. Blast them. Pain in the arse they were. Anyway, we know that those tunnels move from a point in the south, to multiple points in the north. So we presume that either the worms moved from the central point outward, or gathered at the central point. Personally I think this is of interest. If you provide some bags o' gold for the expenses of the herpetologists, we will solve this conundrum for you. And we will also make you some nice gloves."

Advisor Gudrun: "Who cares about the ABSENCE of bloodthirsty reptiles, when our beautiful nation is crumbling? We have lost most of our cities. Lovecrafts are behind bars. Show your people that you haven't surrendered us all to that awful Merisik. Arrest all people talking Slevadovian in the capital, or in Love. Use king Merisik as a bad example in our schools. Build some more statues dedicated to the holy Friendship. Do whatever it takes to make people feel good about being Equestrian."

Advisor Feyte: "Why do people care for a nation so much? Values must be defended, and values transcend nations. One value we treasure is love. Let us show that. Love the Slevadovians like you would the Equestrians."

Khemri

Anonymous advisor 1: "A small band of Khemrians in the south has captured a few of those flying horses. We could use these to supplement our army. Perhaps we can breed them to be more obedient. Just give me some claws and your permission to go ahead with the plan."

Anonymous advisor 2: "Do you know how large the Equestrian Kingdom is? Do you know what problems we will get ourselves into if we treat their citizens in such a way? We should capture that band of fiends and punish them. Show the Equestrians we are OK. Maybe we could even trade with them."

Anonymous advisor 3: "Let those fiends do what they want. But no breeding program. To do so would be unwise in these times. But I would not support the punishment of our fiends because some stupid ponies got hurt."

Kingdom of Rok

Advisor Zirt: "I have just heard this. Two bashers named Kroddy and Nyrk have been assaulting other men for a while. Normally I would not bother you with this, but it is the nature of the assaults that make it truly despicable. They are <ahem> raping <ahem> other men. Blerghh, can someone give me some mead to wash my mouth? Anyway, these abominations must be destroyed. Order the attacks, I beg you. Men rape women, it shouldn't be any different."

Advisor Bork: "Those men are strong. The have proven themselves. I thought that was what Rok is all about?"

Advisor Firenz: "This is only the tip of the iceberg. All kinds of assaults and other crimes happen daily. We must create laws that protect the individual, and strong guards that enforce them."

Lienzo Republic

Minister Cayu: "The festival we had on the first year of the second age really showed how great Lienzo's cuisine truly is. How great the potential is, I should say. Most people do not have much choice in food, it's mostly black pudding and lard-covered bread. Other things are only consumed as exceptional treat. Therefore I propose we pump some money into local restaurants, so that poor people can afford great food too. Everybody should be able to have fine steak, cheese and wine every day."

Minister Hierro: "You realize we have spent a lot on health recently? I suggest we use this ongoing food-craze to fill our coffers a bit. Let's increase the tax on prize-winning food. It's only rich people buying it anyway, they'll still be able to afford it."

Minister Senagh: "I remember how it was before all these foreigners came here. All was better. I know we cannot evict them, that would go against our fundamental principles. But what if we increased the general tax for non-vampires? That way you don't force them to leave, but do give a push in the right direction. And the extra money can be spent on local restaurants, just as minister Cayu explained. So that every vampire can get a proper meal every day."
