The Realm of the Alyssum Royal Academy

[Iron Dragoon]

I'd let it happen organically.

As for tasks... Well, it sorta depends on what the status of the current tasks are. Like, do I have a reasonable amount of specialists now? What are the benefits of them? Where am I at on the Magical Beasts? Do I have a platoon's worth? A company's worth? A battalion's worth? What's the realm production look like? How much trade is being produced from it now? Is the trade enough to make the realm self-sustaining for trade now? Did Bastian find any recruits for his spy master stuff? Did any get found from the realm defense recruiting?

For new tasks... I would start an adventurer's hall or something to coordinate the mapping/exploration of the Labyrinth Mountains and track what sorts of resources are discovered there (metal/gem mines, for example).

Depending on the state of Realm Defense, I may cut down some of the % for recruiting and focus on building a true army instead of just a defense force.

Need to get some stuff going for contacting the old Arcane Order and preparing for a return there.

Also we'll have something dealing with the establishing of that library/info thing we talked about.

Depending on the state of realm production, I might start something that improves tools for the regular people or gear for the army.

Most of that touches on the current goals, so I really need an update on the current state of things before I can decide on redistribution.

As for leaders... I really don't know? I guess I'd want something that represents my new clergy/paladins? I don't have a lot of leaders, so anything is really an improvement.

We'll start you with a rank 16 realm them. A normal demigod has a rank 21 realm but you're growing into it, growth will be addressed early on.

You have sufficient specialists and magical beasts to do what you want. Try not to get too hung up in exact numbers and feel free to shoot for goals. If something's off base I'll let you know. You're a deity and as your realm grows, resources on the level you're worried about won't be a concern. Same reason why Alicia or Seira's nodes don't have great big piles of numbers of who can do what and every army. It's avoided so it doesn't become a giant numbers race I have to keep track of, you're past the stage where you have to worry if you have someone who can do basic tasks.

For new tasks... I would start an adventurer's hall or something to coordinate the mapping/exploration of the Labyrinth Mountains and track what sorts of resources are discovered there (metal/gem mines, for example).

Added along with updating your node. The previous tasks are left there for now if you'd like to continue them, but I'd suggest refining them instead.

You're also at 90/100%, so you have a little room to work with already.

Depending on the state of Realm Defense, I may cut down some of the % for recruiting and focus on building a true army instead of just a defense force.

Sure, up to you, let me know if you want to do that and I'll post about it.

Need to get some stuff going for contacting the old Arcane Order and preparing for a return there.

Also we'll have something dealing with the establishing of that library/info thing we talked about.

Library I'm going to sit down and talk to you about tonight since you want that to be your thing.

If you can think of a relevant task in regards to the Order, let me know and I'll make it.

Depending on the state of realm production, I might start something that improves tools for the regular people or gear for the army.

Could be a good task, sure.

Most of that touches on the current goals, so I really need an update on the current state of things before I can decide on redistribution.

Sure, we'll touch on that early in your next arc since you need leaders. Both you and your name-alike do.

Alright, let's see...

Recruit Specialists: 10%
Recruit Magical Beasts: 10%
Adventurer's Guild: 10%
Realm Defense: 10% (Rickar)
Rest: 10%

New stuff:
Army Building: 20% (Walt)
Improve Realm Equipment: 10% (Alihana)
Contact Arcane Order/Integrate Order into Realm Force: 10% (Delaize)
Resource gathering/expansion: 10%

[Anastasia]

Okay, new tasks added and assigned points to, with the exception of resource gathering, as that falls dead into realm production. I put the points there instead. How do things look?

[Iron Dragoon]

Looks good.

[Anastasia]

Fantastic.

Update 4

Your father reports that army building goes well. He's doing his best and he's managed to ensure the quality of equipment is excellent. Aid from both Selune via a few advisors as well as Shaundakul has supported his efforts.

Your sister's efforts in realm equipment bear fruit. She also notes a curious change. She's sleeping less each night and yet feels rested, which in turn lets her get more done, particularly when she travels about under the moonlight.

Delaize informs you that he has brought as much of the Order onside as is possible now. He has come into possession of a spell scroll of a unique spell, if you are interested in it.

Mapping of the Labyrinth Mountains continues well. The realm itself seems to ultimately foster it in it's way. A note appended to it from Jarem comments that his is expected considering the realm and your will are naturally linked.

Great! I will ask Jarem to have one/some of his logisticians help him out, as well. I'll also have my librarians and more active explorers bring him any forging lore they find to help.

Excellent! I'll take a look at her to see what's changing, but I doubt it's anything to worry about.

Certainly am!

I'll have a talk with Jarem about trying to find a way to use the Labyrinth passages to our advantages. There's sure to be lots of areas we can hide away supplies and use as outposts and fortresses, as well as tons of prime places for ambushes and traps, if we ever need to do a defensive war. IIRC, the mountains tend to shift around and stuff. If they do, it'd also make great training areas for Scouts and Guerilla tactics.

All of that's useful but background things by and large.

The spell is...

Twomind
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 10 minute/level

You create a second mind that thinks just like your normal mind. Any skill check that is purely thought based (such as a Knowledge check) gains a +2 bonus due to your expanded mind, as if it benefited from aid another, but this is only a side effect. Should you suffer Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma ability damage or drain, your second mind is not affected and retains your full ability. This allows you to ignore such damage for the spell's duration. Once the spell's duration expires you suffer the effects of that damage or drain as normal.

Yeah, there wasn't much in there to instigate any change of operations, really.

Also, awesome spell.
