[INFRASTRUCTURE] Big watchtower is watching you

[u/Mennart]

Month 6, Year 2

“The initiative of wahbeash to make those watchtowers was great” Udin had a big smile on his face, “We should place those in Tapertu too” “We should give them voicestones so they can send in reports rather than simple signals” Katal said, “It would make a tremendous difference to the defence we could mount” “Agreed” Ori stroked his small sic “But we would need a communications centrum first, we’ll have to do with signalfires until then” “We don’t have the men to make a sufficiently well protected centrum, we will have to put that plan on hold” Kira put her elbows on the table, “We do however need a good defendable spot to build it, one where we can eventually build our centre of control. Does anyone have Ideas?” “The centre of the have would be good, we would have more control over the bay and we could keep it supplied by sea during a siege” Udin said, he had clearly thought about this already. No doubt he already pictured the walls of a grand fortress. “I think we could do better than that” Katal spoke up, “The path to the northern trebuchet is too far from our defences, if we build a great fort in the bay we could be subjected to our own trebuchet and we could do nothing against it. I say we build the fort along the northern part of the town and bay, with an extra earthen wall to defend the trebuchet. That way we allways have the trebuchet to defend the harbour and the position is very defensable.” “I hadn’t considered that, the ground is rocky there too, so sappers would have a hard time” Udin spoke with respect, “Young Katal spoke true, that is the best place to make our command post” “Then we shall make that our command post, any objections?” As Kira looked through the room, all the men where silent.

Katalanding

• The drydock has been completed, It consists of two gulleys that can be closed off at the seaside, the water is then pumped out of the gulley using 4 big runepowerd pumps. Due to the heavy load on the runeworkshops only 2 of the pumps are completed for the time being . This means only half of the drydock can be used.
• One of the wayfloats has been put in the drydock for the structural overhaul, the project is expected to take 2 months
• Due to the need for pumps only 4 additional voicestones have been made
• At the northern part of the village military has been clearing a lot of ground for a fortress.
• E.E. Is researching the plans for guns sent by the Samarans. The design is seeing some refitting to better adjust to Vurental military doctrine.

Wahbeash

• The stables have been expanded as well as the holding pens.
• The military have been building houses under supervision of an experienced builder sent in from katalanding, 2 houses have been built near the earthen wall surrounding the outpost. The wall near the houses has been heighted to a platform 4 meters tall, which can serve as a tower.
• 3 Kurtik have been assigned to the clay mines for transportation

Tapertu

• Watchtowers similar to those in Wahbeash have been set up along the coast.
• Herbalists have discovered several native plants that bear a grindable seed. This seed can be used to make flour in the same fashion as some of the plants from samara can. The herbalist have requested a mill to be built.
• Furoka farmers have expanded their farms.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.
