Ustaimo was waiting for the knight to announce what the danger was, when the young man sat back on the horse and looked back with a grin. "Hey, I see walls ahead of us. It must be Tiranat. Hope they have some good wine here!"

Here is an illustration of what the seed drill might look like. Just imagine something like this, but with less iron and more wood.

Hope you all are doing okay. Just wanted to let you guys know that sadly I've come down with a serious case of flu, and just haven't been able to find the energy to write while dealing with a fever at the same time. Yesterday's chapter was already difficult to write for me. So I have reluctantly decided to...

Hudan glanced at the surroundings for a moment, before he stopped walking.

Maybe he should see if the whole gro...
2025-07-08 14:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostDarora had been busy as well, and by yesterday he had handed over two new crossbows, bringing their total number to six. That meant now they had enough of them to keep a crossbow on each of the three watchtowers, while also having three extra ones for the watchtowers which hadn't been built yet. Now that all the seed drills h...

He walked down a flight of stairs and kept moving through the corridors until he reached the meeting hall of the count. Noticing him, the guard immediately opened the door, and he entered inside.

When the crowd had calmed down a little, the baron started something else which surprised him once again. The older man next to him offered a small piece of metal tied around a thin rope to the baron, who called out the nam...

For a while, he had even thought that the guards had lied to him that they were from Tiranat and had somehow brought him to some other unkno...
2025-07-01 14:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostKivamus began, "I agree that the guards acted bravely against the bandits and we'll give them the medals later today. Still, crossbows are usually better when used as a defensive weapon, like when the person using them is standing in the safety of a watch tower, so they can keep shooting at the attackers without risking thems...

"Oh, these people are coal miners," the guard replied. "I've heard from a friend in the village that these days they often come here during their lunch hour to see the dam."

It didn't take too long to make sure that the basic treatment of others was done as well. Once all the cuts had been bandaged, Feroy stood up and looked around. "Did any of you see that bastard Joric during the fight? He bet...
