Seneschal [城代]

Nees you fruis of the guild's mines? I can show you what the workers have gathered. 

 

Tell me of resources and mines. 

 

Of course, good sir! This Warehouse is the key through which this City may tap into the mineral wealth of Aerynth, using it to prosper. I can manage this city, maintaining it in this uncertain age. 

 

How can you help manage this city? 

 

As Seneschal, it is my duty to see that the City runs smoothly, and is well maintained. All Fortress Assets (city walls, and barracks) and any building protected by the Rune master will, if its strong box be empty, draw its maintenance fees from the store of gold in this Warehouse. Thus, the masters of this City need no longer worry about rushing from wall to wall, ensuring that they are maintained -- I can oversee those efforts from now on/ Of course, for me to my duties, there needs be gold in the Ware house, gold in the Grate store. It is up to you to put it here! 

 

How can I deposit gold here? 

 

Anyone may deposit gold in this Warehouse, which I shall keep safe until it is needed to pay out maintenance on the walls, barracks, and other protected structures. The efforts of any citizen may now easily be directed to the good of the City. 

The easiest way to fill this Warehouse with wealth, however, is to claim a Gold Mine. The ancient mines have been uncovered, in the adventurous lands where fell beasts lurk. If your City should claim a mine and hold it, gold shall be brought into the Warehouse every hour. The amount of gold a mine produces decreases the farther way a claimed mine is from this Warehouse (the porters must be paid, after all), but the masters of a mine can increase its output by appointing Harvesters to work at the mine. 

 

Can gold be removed? 

 

Other than the automatic removal of funds to help maintain this city's fortress and prospected assets, there are two ways gold may be withdrawn from this Warehouse. The leaders of this city, that is to say, the Guild Leader and all members of Inner Council, may withdraw funds to use at their discretion. But know this: there are limits to this privilege! Custom demands that I keep a large minimum sum within the Warehouse, to ensure city maintenance in the event of troubles. 

 

Should the city leadership attempt to withdraw funds that would take the Warehouse stores below this minimum, or if the stores are less than the minimum to bigin with, any cash withdrawn shall be forbidden. If you would use this Ware house as a steady source of gold, keep its coffers full! The second means of taking gold is much less wholesome. Should this warehouse be destroyed in time of siege, its contents shall lie loose in wreckage to be plundered. 

 

Alas, our world has ever been a harsh one. To the victors go the spoils.  

 

Tell me about resource mines. 

 

Every resource mine is invulnerable for much of the day. There is, however, a brief span when they may be claimed by any Prospector who awakens the mine. Look to your world map -- it will show Which mines are vulnerable, who has claimed them, and also gives the time gives the time that their window of opportunity shall open. 

 

Once a mine becomes vulnerable, any who would claim it must first destroy the Tower that guards the mine. The mine may have guards to help defend it. Once defense are broken, a Prospector must brace himself in a prospecting stance, then claim it. This process takes time, during which that prospector must be well defended! 

 

If the Prospector should claim the mine, the fight is still not yet over -- any other prospector may come along to overwrite the claim, so long as the mine is vulnerable. Only the LAST Guild to claim the mine shall own it, once the window of opportunity closes. Messages shall be sent whenever a mine is claimed -- watch them carefully, and be ready to act quickly should your claim be opposed. When the window of opportunity closes, if your Guild's claim was the last, your emblems shall display on the new guard tower and the world map, and the flow of gold to this Warehouse shall begin. 

 

The leaders of a nation may change when mine's window opportunity opens, but any change they make shall carry forth to all mines that nation claims. Choose carefully, for all of your mines shall always become vulnerable at the same instant! 

 

You can help defend the mine by improving the Guard Tower, raising its rank as can be done with other buildings. Also, you may assign Guards to the mines to help protect the Harvesters and defend it during its vulnerable time. 

 

Are the other resources? 

 

In ages past the Dwarves and Empires of old delved for all manner of precious stones and ores, quarried the face of mountains, wove mana from the ley lines, and consumed the forests with their need for lumbers. So far the Prospectors have only managed to awaken the gold mines of yore, but they are searching for the other ancient mines and timber sources as we speak. The devastation of the Turning so far keeps them hidden, but in time the old mines may open again! Once that happy day comes, I shall keep all manner of precious things in this Warehouse, not just gold.
