[IC] Archipelagos of the Equinox - The First Steps

[JELDare]

Me and my settlers arrived on my new island and we start making a small campsite. Within a month we have made a small viallge for ourselves and with a conference center being built, we will soon be able to have conferences.

[Servantus]

Reports come back to me about sightings of buildings and people walking the lands of Uvin. Myself and a group of "diplomats" along with a few guards cross the sea towards the island of Uvin.

[ChronosTheDark]

My Workers begin by building a small camp out of a local hard wood and vines on a mountain in the middle of the island with some outpost towers dotted around. Animal traps are laid out in the jungle.

[Servantus]

My group arrives at the edge of the rather small village, looking across the village, noting this village will be no threat...For now.

[ChronosTheDark]

2 Islands have been spotted, some of the arrival boats were sent to them with scouts.

[Servantus]

The scout ship is met with a large corvette and told to turn back to where it came.

[ChronosTheDark]

One scout ship comes back unscaved but scared of the Durans, they are Marked as passive aggressive.

[JELDare]

My people see the ships and decide to try interact with the sailors.

[Servantus]

My guards march into the village, followed by myself and my "diplomats".

[JELDare]

@Servantus I see the new people, and try to communicate, however we do not speak the same language.

[ChronosTheDark]

Our peoples and the Uvinians create an alliance and set up trade routes.
Our island is offering:

(Trade References in OOC)

[JELDare]

The Uvinians give the traders, one sheep worth of wool, for one hardwood and four berries.

[Servantus]

My diplomats inform me that they are unable to speak our language, so to which I unsheathe my blade and point it towards the people of Death's Grasp currently on their ship as a warning of the Dark Alliances.

[JELDare]

My people understand, and we become wary of the dark faction. So we decide to also make a truce with the Durans.

[Servantus]

My diplomats, after much effort, get across the request if the Uvians would be willing to trade their woods for slave-labour.

[JELDare]

We accept and give them half their berry seeds as well. I try to to say that we should learn each other's languages.

[Servantus]

I return to my island, leaving a diplomat and a couple of my men to secure a trade-route and begin to learn their language and in return teach them ours.

[ChronosTheDark]

We Send two small rafts manned by unarmed workers with hardwood(20U), Berries(10U) and pelts(10U) to the Durnas and to the Uvinians as gift.

[JELDare]

Because of the generous donation from our new allies, we are able to make a conference hall, in the middle of our island, so that we can converse with other people. Within a month or two, we have begun to understand the Durans' language, and so are able to make small conversation, to do with trading.

[ChronosTheDark]

A strange plant bearing a white fluffy material in a field on the island is found. We ask our allies what to do with it.
