on phone. more suurran geography

Forgot to post yesterday..ugh. Was working almost exclusively on the plot (central plotline)...spent hours and hours thinking about how different things could work together.

Edit: Added another 1154. Slaughtering it. Super exciting stuff--the next 20-30K should go by in a snap. Lots of action, intrigue, etc.

Edit sample preview:

King Ozil lived and breathed in a dynastic fashion, one that changed hands every two generations, back all the way to six hundred years prior. Their industry used to be more militaristic, but it was very costly. Their city-state languished in war and peace, ebbing and flowing with little change. All the time though, the world's population had grown. And Cvar had one of the most fertile stretches of ground of anywhere.

And so one generation, three hundred years prior, had seen the trend and negotiated for additional fertile land. They parleyed it into their main source of income. So far as Cvar was concerned, Warrick merely copied them except for the fact that they aggressively took their land.

After the empires formed, very little land exchanged hands, but now both Cvar and Warrick were in possession of great swaths of fertile land. They wisely used half the land, leaving the other half fallow. As such, it allowed a burgeoning farmer-worker class to appear. One year a farmer, one year a worker.
