Fort Akton, month of Frerhar, 350 AC <\/em>(roughly equivalent to December)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After the battle of Reaming Arena, the three cyborg Reavers have not been seen.\u00a0 The\u00a0captured supplies were added to Akton’s own.\u00a0 With careful rationing, the people of Akton and Conquered should have enough food to get through the winter. <\/span><\/span> Those killed in battle have all been buried in the town cemetery.\u00a0 Tough work as the ground was beginning to freeze.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The month is cold, and bitter winds sweep through the badlands.\u00a0 There are occasional storms bringing snow and ice.\u00a0 Most of the plant creatures of the badlands have gone dormant until the spring.\u00a0 Tribesmen have hunkered down in winter camps.\u00a0 Merchants are no longer seen on the trade routes, as a single storm could make the roads impassable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Idle farmers and hunters\u00a0are recruited to assist the alzwellian craftsmen on various construction projects.\u00a0 The grand market, haven inn, barter house, metalsmithy, and the champion tower are all completed this month.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Presidents (Ragnor and Gaal Lont) appoint Silas (the ex-caravan master) as Secretary of Trade & Reclamation.\u00a0 The\u00a0Nu Engelin Trading Company (NET-Co) is created, headed by Silas.\u00a0 Using designated army units, and hired civilians, the company starts salvaging the nearby ruins for metal, c-mint, and artifacts.\u00a0 These items are being sold in the local markets, but a caravan will be created for export in the spring.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Presidents establish the Department of Research & Design, headed by their appointed Secretary of Archives, Travis the Nerd.\u00a0 Dr. Zeebo, Crazy Dave, Morra the tinker, and Nulbo the gardener\u00a0are all essential to the department.\u00a0 Artifacts salvaged by NET-Co all go to R&D first.\u00a0 Those not kept for the government or community can be sold by NET-Co.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Politically, the Presidents declare Alzwell an “Ally” of the Alliance (they get a representative in the Akton Senate and after 3 months, the senate votes on their full membership).\u00a0 The green folk of Ayden and Programmers of Middex are declared “Friends”.\u00a0 The Lex and Klintok are wary of becoming full members (nomadic tribes into a sedentary soon to be market based economy, worried about being dragged into wars, etc) and decline “Ally” status.\u00a0 The Presidents declare them “Friends”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The population of Fort Akton is outgrowing its initial army barracks setup.\u00a0 There are now families with newborns, there are new members who have joined in the past 1-2 months from other badland communities, and many do not want to live in the underground bunker.\u00a0 The people want to build houses in the nearby village of New Solace, but then their citizenship would change to a separate community.\u00a0 President Ragnor decides that Fort Akton and New Solace have to be politically merged into a single community “Akton”.\u00a0 There are constitutional problems, and many radioactivists and senators are initially against the plan.\u00a0 During the new moon, Ragnor shows his political brilliance, persuading those opposed and creating workable compromises to get the plan enacted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The former Senators of New Solace keep their offices (to ensure Radioactivist representation).\u00a0\u00a0A new senatorial election is held for the remaining Akton seats (Miata the norfo, Will-Wesley the orlen, and Jimbo the brutorz\u00a0are\u00a0re-elected).\u00a0 Laws are passed to protect religious practice throughout the Alliance, and yet prevent theocracy.\u00a0 Mother Enya heads the Radioactivist Religion\u00a0in the village.\u00a0 Ragnor establishes the post of Sheriff (law enforcement, tax collection, milita captain) for the town of Akton, and appoints Brother Morvus (Radioactivist local favorite).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The month ends\u00a0the day\u00a0before the winter Solstice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You all have up to 5 days (17th at 10AM) to respond under “comments” below.\u00a0 For this and the next “Pre-Turns”, you may choose your general activities for the month.\u00a0 Any interactions with others or die rolls can be role-played up to the time limit.\u00a0 If all of you respond and all actions are resolved (even if you\u00a0state you\u00a0do nothing at all) before the time limit, I can start working on the next post that much sooner.\u00a0\u00a0 -Nate<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
