Fuck off faggot
This is it.
It's been months in the making, but with trembling hands you hastily tear open the heavily-taped cardboard box. It cost you a pretty penny, but you're sure it'll all be worth it soon enough. The guy assured you this would work...and you have to admit, it certainly looks legitimate.
Nestled inside a positive mountain of packing peanuts is a book, bound in dark leather. You reach down and lift the book free and the title, sunk in gold leaf on the spine in beautiful cursive, catches the light. Grimoire of Barnaby Sikes. There's a catch on the cover and a strap holding the thing closed, which you manage to undo after a few moments of fiddling. You open the book, and hear the gentle creaking of the bindings, no doubt left closed for years until now.
The writing on the inside is similar to the title, a flowing cursive on smooth, cream-coloured paper. Flipping through, there are a few places where it's faded, but most of it looks to be in pretty good shape. Starting at the beginning, you flip past the title page and a few blanks sheets until you reach one titled "Introductions" Seems appropriate.
1. Necromancy is a most noble art, and one most worth the time of he who fancies himself a worker of dark magicks. It is the practice of raising the essences, in various divers forms, of those who have moved on. Their true souls can never be recovered, but the illusion of such is possible for a true master, or even a dedicated novice...
He goes on for several pages discussing the philosophy and history of this "most noble art" and actually includes theological arguments for it, suggesting that Jesus Christ may have been the first necromancer. Interesting enough, but not really what you're looking for. So you skim through until you hit another titled page. "First Summons."
Now that's promising.

The first step along the path of Necromancy is the raising of a simple shade from an animal's earthly remains. Many apprentices have tried this exercise, and nearly all those suited to the work succeeded easily enough. It is a rite of passage for many, and it it not uncommon to find wizened old men recounting their first shade summoning with no small amount of nostalgia. Make no mistake, young novice, you will remember this day.
A sample of the remains are needed, a bone being the usual choice. This is placed in a dry place, where chalk can be applied easily. Around the bone, the circle is drawn. [There is a diagram of an intricate, complex series of shapes on the opposite page. It's comprised mostly of thin, looping circles that meet in the middle as well as a few triangles seeming to connect some of the different circles. The whole affair is contained within a single larger circle. Looking at it makes your head spin.] Then, three candles are lit, one each for Birth, Life, and Death, the three gateposts of existence on this plane, and placed around the circle. Now comes the most crucial step; the libation. Good wine should be found and warmed, and certain herbs added. For the raising of a shade the most common are Lavender, Pennyroyal, and Thyme. Pomegranate seeds, mugwort, elderberries, and the bark or root taken from the cedar tree are also used, though less frequently. The harvest and storage of these herbs need not be special, but if certain preparations are taken their potency may be improved.
To this libation must be added that which the shade wants above all, blood, the truest elixir of life to those beyond death's gate. The greater the quantity, the more powerful the bonds drawing the shade to our world. For a small summoning as this, a few drops will suffice.
When the remains are in the circle, the candles lit and the libation mixed, the spirit must be summoned by voice as the libation is poured over the remains and the circle. The words themselves do not matter, so long as the meaning is intact. The summoner must call the spirit, demand it return to the world it left with blood and wine as its reward. If all other instructions have been followed, a shade shall appear to do your will.
Well. Seems simple enough, anyway. You're sure you can find most of the herbs in the kitchen or the garden--though it is pretty late, so you'll have to be quiet to avoid waking your family. Wine and candles are in the pantry, and you know you've got chalk stashed away here somewhere. Now how to find some remains...?
But wait! Before we get too far ahead of ourselves...what's your name? Your gender?
>>248887
>Male
>Tony D'Rude

Normally I'll give it 5 or so minutes for votes, but I'll probably wait a little longer to start with, just so you know.

Heavy rain drums against your apartment window as you stare out into the brightly lit city below.
Flying vehicles hover in the air protruding toxic gases whilst crowds of people swarm like ants in the streets below. Sometimes you think this city was just one massive collective consciousness. You inhale on your Vcigarette as you ponder alone.
You hear a 'ding' sound from your pocket followed by a young British woman's voice.
"If you keep smoking them they will kill you, M-###BZZZT."
Darn it, that's the third time this week. You pull out your holo-transmitter and whack it on the table it a few times. You really should get an upgrade one of these days.

"James. Matsuda." You say in a sarcastic tone. "Is that slow enough for you?"
"Apologies, Mr Matsuda. I had a software update. I am afraid your current hardware is struggling to keep up with my A.I. updates. Would you like me to purchase the latest Holo-transmitter? I have 7.4 Million results. Searching for the best priced-"
"No, LIA." You cut in. "You will have to make do with what you got. Just delete some of your pre-installed bloatware. I'm sure you have exabytes full of unnecessary crap in your memory."
LIA would pout and say in an overly moping voice. "Fiiine. But can I at least keep my summer bikini outfit?"
"Since when did you-" "Okay thank you!" You sigh. You should have used the default HoloBuddy.
"Moving on... You have three new notifications. Wow, you're getting really popular these days aren't you?"
Before you can make a comment she continues.
"Okay, you have one from the landlord, looks like your rent is due again. And um, one from your boss and one from your *cough* ex. Which should I open first?"

i will murder you
As you approach the heavy wooden doors, the guards give you a cautious glare. One of the guards blankly shouts "Disarm" and gestures with his thumb a chest by the castle wall. With you arms outstretched, your four squires unfasten your velvet cloak, chained cuirass, sheath, and sword. The squires carry the items into the chest, and you flash a raised eyebrow at the guards. With the guards pushing the doors for a grand entrance, you enter the halls of the chamber.
Two figures turn around to face you. The first, you recognize immediately as your uncle. The last you've heard from him had been via courier about two weeks ago, urging you to meet the king at his palace of Adderlund. All you know of your uncle is that he gifted his all his inherited lands to your father and travelled as a companion with the King in the Great Demon Wars thirty years ago. Now he enjoys a comfortable life as the King's primary Advisor, and the two remain very close friends. His proposition to you those weeks back is the very reason you are in this chamber.
That leaves the second figure to be the King. Not your king of course, but a new, powerful king who saved these recently conquered lands from the Incursion thirty years ago, carving out a kingdom of his own. You only get a glimmer of his sharp green eyes and matted amber hair before you drop to a knee in respects.Your uncle's reassuring laugh eases your tensions, and you rise with the King's command.
"I will be brief, but bear my words carefully. It is my deepest wishes to host an order of knights willing to fight for the cause of man and purge the demons that still plague the land. Unfortunately, my body is far too late to lead such a fraternity, but your uncle assures me the next best candidate to be you! I have been told you still have your youth, ambition, devotion, and charm, all of which are no doubt valuable qualities for any leader of men! But before I can offer you this role in my good conscience, I must ask, for what reason are you here, sir knight?"
> (Divinity) "I want the abominations to be brought to light through steel and prayer"
> (Honor) "I want to taste the glory in battle against enemies of our race"
> (Power) "I want to carve out a place for my lineage and reputation larger than my own inheritance and title"
> Write In (?)

Welcome back to the longest, and perhaps slowest quest on this entire board.
To strengthen our position in the new world, the Sarsalmat has negotiated a trade between us and the Hohokum peoples, while also expanding the Empire further north to gain more fertile lands.
Through the Hohokum we also managed to strike a trade deal with the Mayans.
Thanks to trading with the natives, we have discovered whole new foods such as Beans and Maize, but also Squash.
These vegetables change our diet quite a lot.
We also managed to get our hands on the plants themselves, but alas we can't cultivate them in large parts of the Empire, so we have to further rely on trading with the Mayans and Hohokum, though that is not too much of a problem thanks to the Salt trade.
In addition to getting more involved with the natives, the Sarsalmat also wants to strengthen his grip on the Empire, so he introduces a new system of government.
The Empire is divided into provinces
Provinces into Prefectures and Prefectures into Districts and Districts into Cities.
Every city has a Marelugal.
Every district has a Nagulugal
Every prefecture has a Belkur
Every province has a Belqabal
Above the Belqabals is only the Sarsalmat himself.
This new system makes governing much faster and efficient, though also bureaucratic, which brings it's own problems with it.
What will the glorious King of all Mankind do next?
Also, what are all of these goddamn unnamed cities called? Seriously I'll name them myself if you guys won't.
Tlaliztatl for the southwest near river one, the one near baja califronia: Mojaval (which i gues is combo of mojave and whatever persian language this is?) One below capital Costa Bai (rice coast in mix of chinese and PROBOBLY spanish word for costanoan tribe.(but fuck it)
so for actions:
>expand into southwest us to find farming tribes
>create roads to enhance travel
>in southwestern dry lands that cant produce enough food, mine for metals
>selectivly breed bison to be smaller, faster, and less aggressive.
>attempt to flood more farmland to create more rice paddies in northern lands using advanced irrigation knowledge.
>increase fish farming
>use fish remains for fertilizer
>create more mining towns to the southeast(of our territory) and more fishing towns to the north and west.
