Raising the wallsThough there has only been a few messengers sent back, the newly-crowned king knows that his subjects won't take the plan of a monarchy well. In fact, he already has received proof about that very quickly. There have began raidings into the town, but more intense raids than those that happen every once in a while. These can't just happen because the people have gone wild, but the rebel leaders have decided to attack the king. The ones that responded approving the decision were personal friends of the king, but the king deep below thought that they weren't enough. Eventually he fears that the attackers will eventually join up and destroy his short-lived kingdom.
The council of the town of Umufing, which is the capital of the Varisvaara, is reuniting and is going to discuss the subject of how to resist the incursions from the rebellion and eventually, how they will be defeated.
The talks dragged on for hours and found no definitive conclusion on how to defeat the rebels, but they did draw a conclusion to what to do to defend Umufing. They planned to make the village harder to access. They will do this by surrounding much of the city with logs, with open spaces in the walls that may be used to lure the enemy and ambush them once they are inside. The construction will take about two months, but many think it's worth the pain. In addition to that, the land cleared could later be used for farming according to the council.
The loyalists are conformed of a village (which is the capital), 2 hamlets and 3 settlements. The rebels are the other village, 4 hamlets and 7 settlements. In total, there is about 185 people in loyalist territory and about 300 in rebel territory.
