Round 35
[Sultanate of Regno]
Desert of Magic regions: Regno (8), Iadesh (7), Jherki (9), Deaux (56), Thae Guceart (92)
[Sultana Tacere Regno, Sultana of Silence]

Actions:

1. [Military] Raise a unit of Legionnaires
   The people of Regno were war weary before, but with the passing of the Stormfather's wings under the control of the northern nation of Whern, many sign up to help defend the Sultanate's people.
2. [Military] Raise a unit of Legionnaires
   A compliment of Legionnaires is raised in order to help defend Umbo's Path.
3. [Military] Raise a unit of Storm Ragers
   Stormduir do not take well to water, but give them good ships, and over two years of training? Even Thae Guceart can have a stronger navy.
4. [Military] Raise a unit of Sea Wolves
   Deaux is not forgotten. Newly constructed warships from Izbefe are sent down to the island nation, and Regno's naval strength increases in the south.
5. [Economy] Add Legionnaire protected rest locations to the Omanush Convoy requested road, named [Umbo's Path] [3/5]
   The road from Iadesh's sea in the east to the mountains in the west is done; yet it lacks the protection. Regno accepts the responsibility of protecting such a large road, and pays for the Labor Guilds to build miniature fortifications at various locations.
6. [Economy] Buyout Giant Redwood Cedar TP#2 in Glen Gwitna from the Remains of Dvalta
   (Supported Buyout for R23 TP#2, [Bonuses] Expanded Holds, Precision Weights, OMC Rank 6, Fish Glue; Roll: 17)

• The Long Night...
• A new baby boy and new baby girl are born - twins - to Sultana Tacere in the year 205. Named Stridor and Cinste, the boy and girl twins are a joy for their mother and older sister. At least until they turn 2 years old, at which time both twins start making a myriad of mischief, such that each one is assigned a nanny who also used to be a former Legionnaire.
• The Heir's Consort...
• The reaction to Whern...
• Sapphire Tonic...
• Dvalta's change in regime - as well as it's people's support going to different countries - comes as a surprise for the Sultanate. While there are many in the Diplomatic Headquarters in Petram trying to discern the political ramifications of this change, Umbo Iadesh VIII and his merchants are quick to take advantage of things. Many chests full of unused Bani make their way to Glen Gwitna, and soon the old traditions of Gwitnan defense of Regnan ships resumes... and shipments that would have gone to Dvalta are now heading towards Regnan shores.
