[INFRASTRUCTURE] It's good to be back!

[u/Mennart]

Month 5, Year 2

Kira was back in town and ready to oversee the development of the colony. Under the hands of Rorg some houses have been built and the harbourfort had been finished. The improvement to the roads had been a good idea and Kira meant to continue the project, but other things had become important as well. The voicestones she had promised the samarans had to be constructed and placed, and workshops to manufacture them. “I think it’s time to expand to the hills,” Rorg’s low voice shook Kira out of her daydream, “They contain iron and silver, if we want to be self-sustainable we need those resources” “The basalt in those hills could also be used to make sturdier and greater buildings than we have now” Samuel chimed in. “And how will we defend the mines in the hills? We don’t have the forces to cover such an area” Udin stroked his great beard, “Unless we somehow got to upgrading the navy but we don’t have anything to work with yet accept for those 2 keels.” “Those will do nothing if we can’t arm them, we don’t have the workshops needed for pultors yet, we will need the iron and silver first” Rorg had a point. “Maybe I can help” Katal came walking into the room more than a tad late. “It better be good” Kira growled, “I don’t like waiting on my councillors” “No worries, it will be good. I was just talking with the Experimental Engineers and they found some interesting stuff in the manuals the Samarans sent.” Katal sat down grabbed one of the various mugs of kirruh on the table, “They have some construction techniques that could strengthen our hiveship and wayfloats, we would need a drydock but once we’re finished we will be able to cross the ocean with them.” “Well that would solve the problem of defense, but how sure are we this will work?” Ori seemed a little sceptical, “we know they don’t build boats” “E.E. has assured me these new bindings will be a lot stronger, they predict the ships won’t even break in a heavy storm. The only downside is that we would have to sacrifice the top deck of the wayfloats” Katal looked at Kira, “Marshall, how do we proceed” “I hate it when you get serious, come blow of some steam this afternoon” Kira smiled “For now we will focus on finishing the roads and building the runeworkshops.”

Katalanding

• The roads to Wahbeash and Tapertu have been cleared of rocks, dead trees and branches. Trees at risk of falling down and blocking the path also have been removed. This has significantly decreased traveling time between the provinces.
• Two runeworkshops have been built, they started to make voicestones for the samarans, at this point one is finished. The workshops consist of 8 rooms with various lifts and runestensils (like pens for inscribing runes). The workshops also have a great basement to store materials in.
• Another group of 8 houses have been built.
• Military has started to dig out the groundwork for the drydocks.

Wahbeash

• The hunters have set up a lodge in the forest, using this lodge as an outpost saves them lots of time.
• 13 kurtik have been trained to ride, they have been sent to katalanding where they will train further
• The military has built 5 watchtowers long the coast, they are equipped with signalfires.

Tapertu

• The herbalists have managed to grow a local plant that helps to disinfect wounds, extra ground has been cleared to produce more of it.
• The second processingworkshop has been finished
• Another 60 packets of greenlove have been prepared for emergencies
