Crystal(s)× 2One of your settlers wants to become a fisherman, but has no experience in this field. Help him out a little with his first fish.
On completion: Now he should have got the hang of it, and can continue fishing on his own.
Crystal(s)× 2A great feast approaches and experience tells you that a lot of drinking is to be expected. Build up stocks so that your settlers are not left high and dry.
On completion: Now that the brew supply is secured, the feast can be readied.
Crystal(s)× 2Your last treasure search brought back a map! And you know what? There is treasure on this island! However, it's hidden deep in the old mountain. Whoever hid it made sure nobody was going to get at it easily, and has sealed the entrance to the cave holding the treasure with a huge block of marble. Don't ask me how they did it. We need to dig our way in.
On completion: We opened the cavern and all we found was an empty chest! Well not completely empty, but the main treasure had already been taken. I wonder who…
Crystal(s)× 2One of your farmers is teaching his son to follow in his footsteps, the main training areas being the wheatfields around their farm. Maybe you can lend them a hand and help them a bit with harvesting?!
On completion: Well, this seems quite promising. It would appear you can look forward to a new farmer in the near future.
Crystal(s)× 2Helvian Kones, a famous archeologist from Capital Island, comes to us excitedly and reports of a bone discovery. Unluckily, the find is buried too deep in the mountain for you to dig it out alone. Help Kones expose the bones!
On completion: It will take a while to expose all of the bones, but one thing is already certain... They're huge!
Crystal(s)× 2You want to organize an exhibition of valuable jugs. Unfortunately, you don't really have enough beautiful examples to fill an exhibition. Produce some copper so that additional ones can be produced.
On completion: Now the coppersmiths should be able to produce more. The exhibition can begin.
Crystal(s)× 2Effective wood production is always important for your economy. Make sure you have a well filled wood storage at all times.
On completion: The storage is filled. Well done!
Crystal(s)× 2A mysterious heat wave has burned down everything on one of the neighboring islands! Something is wrong here - this is not the first time we've heard about powerful sunbeams that burn everything they "shine" upon… Anyway, we should be supportive, as always.
On completion: With the help of the wood, the settlers can at least rebuild the most essential buildings. Well done! I'll have our sages investigate this issue with the sun.
Crystal(s)× 2One of your cousins wants to claim one of his neighbour's islands that is being occupied by devious bandits. Unfortunately, he has no idea about military and resources management. You decide to help him, because chasing bandits is always a good idea.
On completion: Now your cousin should be able to make the preparations for his first attack. He will contact you again when he is done.
Crystal(s)× 2King Damien is preparing a food donation for the poor people of his islands, and is asking everyone for support. Surely he can count on you?
On completion: The king has sent you a little thank you, and conveys the message that his inhabitants were very glad of your help.
Crystal(s)× 2We have some farmers living at the foot of the old mountain. Why is it called the old mountain? I guess because it's old, he he! The farmers want to build some more farms, but they need some stone. Let's provide some!
On completion: Very well. Now the settlers can build a new farm in the shadows of the old mountain.
Crystal(s)× 3A group of people from a neighbouring region has come to you and wants to settle on your land. Provide them with the necessary materials to build their houses.
On completion: The people began construction immediately after receipt of the resources and are happy to be counted among your inhabitants.
Crystal(s)× 3Your new settlers have built their houses very fast and are quite hard-working. However, they are in need of food. Provide them some nutrition until they can produce enough food of their own.
On completion: Your new settlers don't know how to thank you. Thanks to your generosity, they promise to remain diligent and loyal.
Crystal(s)× 3A courier reaches you with a message saying that a ship has run aground along your coast. Unfortunately, it is not possible for them to send help, so they ask you for tools to repair the ships.
On completion: With the tools you sent, the sailors were able to repair their ships and the column could continue on their way. Once again, you have won an additional friend.
Crystal(s)× 2Your cousin has finished the first phase, and the first wave of recruits is on its way. Now he needs new resources for the next one.
On completion: The second wave is invading the isle already. Let's see how far they get.
Crystal(s)× 3The new settlers have opened a bakery. However, they do not yet produce enough flour to fully supply the bakery. Come to their aid a little.
On completion: Your support was very helpful. With the help of the flour they were able to gather enough gold and combine it with tools to make a new mill.
Crystal(s)× 4A huge bear is making trouble in your land and the people are understandably afraid of it. You have to do something, but do not want to harm the bear. So, here's your brilliant idea; why not build a compound for it and allow the people to see it in captivity?
On completion: With the help of a few inhabitants, you managed to catch the bear. In his big compound he seems to feel comfortable, and the people feel safe again. The caretaker has even given him a name - "Tram".
Crystal(s)× 3A long while ago you helped Helvian Kones, the archeologist, to launch an excavation of a bone. Now, it is complete… and the bones look like they are from a huge animal. Because you have never seen anything like it, you do not want to withhold the find from your settlers. Exhibit the bones publicly.
On completion: The exhibition catches on and your settlers are fascinated by the huge animal. However, it also seems to frighten them. Hopefully, the exhibition was a good idea.
Crystal(s)× 3A strong glow is emanating underwater near the southern shore. One of our fishermen has made a discovery underwater! However, he needs supplies to recuperate his find. Give him what he needs. Maybe he'll come back with great treasure?
On completion: Well, that was not what you had hoped for. Just a few old stone heads and clay jugs filled with phosphor. Your brother Theodor has a birthday coming up doesn't he?
Crystal(s)× 2King Damien wants to build a small island in the sea, right in front of Capital Island, and it will require a great amount of resources. The idea is to build a huge statue on the island to welcome all new settlers. Everyone is requested to help the king build the monument.
On completion: Even though the construction of the statue will still take some time, the king is very grateful for your help and invites you to visit him in his castle. What an honour!
Crystal(s)× 2Your younger brother Theodor has written you a letter. Oh joy! He writes that he's finally begun to settle down, just like you. Unfortunately, he has miscalculated and is now out of hardwood. Unsurprisingly, he's asked if you could help him out.
On completion: Your brother is very grateful for your help. Hopefully, he will learn from it… Good thing he knows how to write…
Crystal(s)× 3The trees of Capital Island are being attacked by a timber worm which has already gouged through over 50 percent of the trees. King Damien is angry! We need to send some examples of our wood to the king's scientists, to make sure that our trees are not affected.
On completion: Luckily, our trees are not affected. We can continue our wood production. That was a close shave.
Crystal(s)× 2One of your servants has found a totally neglected family of dogs in his back yard. The poor dogs are ravenous and weak. Provide them something to eat.
On completion: That was nice of you. You have saved the dogs' lives. Your servants will take care of them from here on.
Crystal(s)× 2Your brother Theodor has been trading for a short while now. Although he has traded iron ore, he seems to have forgotten that he does not have enough in stock to complete the deal. Quickly obtain some iron ore for him before he gets in trouble.
On completion: That was close again and your brother can be glad to have you. Let us see, how long it will last until he becomes the next problem.
Crystal(s)× 2One of your explorers found an old shrine high up on a mountain to the north. It seems to me that it was built to honor an old king who loved these lands. We want to honor the king by rebuilding the shrine, but we'll need some materials. Please provide the materials we need!
On completion: Done! I hope that the spirit of the shrine will come back one day to watch over and protect our island!
Crystal(s)× 5To celebrate her 93rd birthday, your oldest living settler, Irma, plans to make her famous pepperoni. But to finish her recipe, she'll need some saltpeter.
On completion: Irma’s pepperoni was incredibly delicious, and her birthday celebration a great success all around. Good job!
Crystal(s)× 2I heard that there's been golden rain over our wheatfields! That means the market will be interested in buying our wheat! Let's stock up and head for the markets!
On completion: There has been a small argument between two lords who both wanted to buy our wheat! Thankfully, our merchants managed to resolve the problem peacefully! Next time we should bring more!
Crystal(s)× 2You should always keep your negotiation skills finely honed. To have the right touch in this area can be of great advantage.
On completion: Always make sure you keep trading unneeded goods against other useful resources. It will pay off.
Crystal(s)× 2Your favorite brother Theodor wants to start large-scale trading. However, he has no idea how to go about it. Show him how trading functions.
On completion: Hopefully, that example was demonstrative enough for your brother Theodor. Well, if he should not be successful, he will surely return.
Crystal(s)× 2We have had complains from Capital Island that we're keeping our best resources for ourselves! That's not true! Well… maybe it is, but we need to prove them wrong! Let's sell some of our most precious resources!
On completion: Well done! I'll make sure we won't get any more complains!
Crystal(s)× 2Settlers are reporting a huge beast lurking around in the forest. It only comes out at night! Your inhabitants feel insecure and ask you to check on it. Prepare a search party to deal with the monster.
On completion: After a long search, the monster turned out to be just a wild hog. However, to calm the fears of your inhabitants, you should tell them that the monster is dead.
Crystal(s)× 2Traveling actors are visiting your island, and have given a stunning theatrical performance. The settlers left delighted, and so did you! Provide an extra tip for the artists to make sure they come again!
On completion: The traveling actors are grateful for your generosity, and assure you they'll be back again next season.
Crystal(s)× 4One of your horse breeders has produced a promising new race of horses. They might bring a high price at market. Make him give you some of them and see what you get for them.
On completion: Well, the payment was quite good. Let's see whether the next generation will become as lucrative.
Crystal(s)× 4The new settlers have been working diligently for you for several months now. Give them a present as a token of your esteem and thanks for their loyalty.
On completion: Never would the settlers have expected such generosity. They are very happy to have come to your lands.
Crystal(s)× 4As a sign of peace, King Damien decides on a public display of weapons being destroyed in front of the Tyrhand Palace. Because you support the basic idea, you decide to take part and volunteer some of your weapons.
On completion: The king gives you great credit for your participation. He hopes that additional people will follow your good example, and relays his thanks to you.
Crystal(s)× 5A few weeks ago, your city was designated as one of the most beautiful in all the land. Now you'd like to celebrate this in the proper manner and arrange a great feast for your inhabitants. Make all necessary preparations.
On completion: All preparations are finished, and the feast can start. Your settlers will surely enjoy themselves magnificently.
Crystal(s)× 3Your cousin's attack was not as effective as he'd hoped. Furthermore, he forgot to pay his mercenaries! You should send him some coins if you want to avoid a mutiny!
On completion: Well, at least the mercenaries will stay calm now. Soon though your cousin will be in need of a plan, otherwise claiming the island will be impossible.
Crystal(s)× 3A terrible disease has ravaged a neighbouring city, killing many animals. Now, meat is in extremely short supply. Can you spare some from your stock?
On completion: That should do for the beginning at least. Maybe you can send additional goods later on.
Crystal(s)× 4A good friend of yours contacts you with a request for a favor. He is the leader of a small desert tribe, and recently the animals in his area have become quite aggressive. The trouble is, he has no weapons to defend the village. Help him out with a few bows.
On completion: Your friend is very thankful and invites you for a visit. Unfortunately, you have no time at the moment, but you will come back for sure.
Crystal(s)× 4King Damien wants to build himself a monument, and of course it has to be made of gold. Because he says he doesn't have any at the moment - a fact that I very much doubt - he wants you to send him some gold ore. Organize this quickly and deliver it as soon as possible to Capital Island!
On completion: The envoy is on his way. The monument will rise toward the skies…. The king will be proud of you.
Crystal(s)× 3A competition is about to be held: who makes the best sausage? You can't miss out on this! Submit your sausage for judging.
On completion: You did not win the competition, but at least you got a little prize.
Crystal(s)× 3During operations over the last few weeks, the equipment of your soldiers has become tattered. Raise your stock of steel to be able to afford repairs.
On completion: Now your soldiers should have enough resources for the necessary repairs.
Crystal(s)× 3A huge animal market will soon be held in a neighbouring country. One of your cousins wants to participate and buy some new horses, but he is out of gold. Maybe, you can help him out?
On completion: Your cousin is very grateful for your help and has sent you a few small items as thanks. Oh well, at least it's better than nothing.
Crystal(s)× 3These are uncertain times, and reports accumulate of attacked camps in the surroundings. Raise your steel resources to be prepared for the worst case scenario.
On completion: The additional weapons resulting from the increased steel resources should be enough to defend your settlers.
Crystal(s)× 3We have received several complaints lately about a shadowy figure lurking around the city, scaring people and stealing coins! We must do something! Setting a trap would be the best idea. Let's make sure the shadow hears about the huge amount of "wink wink" gold we're about to send to Capital Island!
On completion: Your trap has been sprung. The shadow has been caught and put in jail. Your streets are safe once more.
Crystal(s)× 5The King likes parades, but do you know what he loves even more than parades? Military parades! However, such a big event requires a lot of military units, so we're going to send some of our troops to attend!
On completion: Our troops will represent our island! The King will be pleased!
Crystal(s)× 3You have heard of someone speaking ill of you behind your back and denigrating you in front of your inhabitants. Even though your people trust you, you should investigate. Find out who is behind this smear campaign and take them to task.
On completion: With the help of your militia you were able to find the culprit. It was a neighbouring monarch, casting a jealous eye on your lands. Stay cautious!
Crystal(s)× 3One of your ships has disappeared during its most recent voyage, with several of your soldiers on board. They were heading for the Maioranna Triangle. We have sent a search party in hope of finding them, but until they get back we should train some new soldiers!
On completion: Maybe your ship will appear again, but until then at least your military capabilities have been extended a little. You never know…
Crystal(s)× 3A man approached me this morning. He was nervous and excited as he explained to me how close he was to inventing the Philosopher's Stone. He just needs some gold to compare to the one he was able to create.
On completion: The man was so happy. He furiously shook my hand, and thanked me several times.
Crystal(s)× 3Today I met a nice man. His name is William, and he told me about his work. He's a director, and he wants to create a new play in our town. I don't want to give too much away, but it's about a man who robs the rich to give to the poor, and William has to find the perfect person to play the main protagonist. The only criteria is, he should know his way around a bow. Can we send some longbowmen over there? Maybe one of them will catch William's attention.
On completion: William was impressed by how well our troops can handle bows, but one specific guy caught his attention. His name is Robin. William was so impressed by his acting skills, he decided to name the play after him.
Crystal(s)× 3Your settlers are planning on holding a horse race - but they'll need some talent on horseback to make it happen.
On completion: Your settlers enjoyed an exciting horse race. To everyone’s surprise, a formerly unknown rider called Sylvana electrified the crowd and won with flying colors.
Crystal(s)× 4You extended your land, and with this comes lots of resources. Time to harvest them and increase your stocks.
On completion: Even though the wood will last for quite some time, you should look for the next land... just to be sure.
Crystal(s)× 4Once again, Theodor is in desperate need of your help. He's received an order from King Damien, but hasn't got the resources to fulfill it. Perhaps you can assist?
On completion: Once again, your brother is grateful for your help. We will see whether he will come and ask for help again next time… Maybe you should send him random resources now and then, eh?
Crystal(s)× 4Your brother Theodor is anxious. He has a new beloved he wants to marry. For the proposal, he wants to build a pavilion on a hillside, but he needs additional granite. Will you have pity on him and give him what he needs?
On completion: Your brother has a smile all over his face. Well, let's see whether his beloved accepts his proposal…
Crystal(s)× 4Rumours of a shortage of Titanium have started to spread in the marketplace, causing a sudden jump in prices. Quick! Make sure you have some in reserve, just in case.
On completion: This stock should be enough, in case the rumours should turn out to be true.
Crystal(s)× 4You remember the Quasadi brothers? The ones that claimed they can cut a tree with one slash? Well they're back on the island and they're about to put on a show. However, sadly they have been attacked by some pirates and had their swords stolen! No problem - we'll get them new ones!
On completion: The brothers will be pleased to see and feel the great quality our swords provide!
Crystal(s)× 4Your scouts bring word of an attack planned against your brother. Although you'd decided not to help him again, you cannot let the attacker get away with this! After all, family comes first, right? Let's send his military leader some quality weapons… just to be sure he can defend himself!
On completion: With the help of the swords, your brother will be able to defend himself, but this is definitely the last time you help him out, right?
Crystal(s)× 4Your cousin encountered tougher defences than expected. He needs more effective equipment, and therefore more resources.
On completion: Finally, your cousin has claimed the island. Good things come to those who wait.
Crystal(s)× 4Old Tempar, the cannon master, has told me that they've received a new kind of cannon that can deal more damage if loaded with sufficient gunpowder. That means they're going to need a lot of it!
On completion: With all this gunpowder, they should be able to load all their new cannons and help us achieve a perfect victory!
Crystal(s)× 4You have heard about profitable prices for exotic wood. Check your storage! Maybe you can dispense with some?!
On completion: The exchange rate could have been better, but it paid off anyway. It's always worth having a look at trading.
Crystal(s)× 4There's a new exhibition in the city, about a bunch of rare ore! The only problem is, the lady who's organizing it has lost some of the exhibits! Let's see if we can provide the missing ore they need!
On completion: The lady was so happy to see the ore that she put your name on the sponsors list! Maybe you're in line for a nice gift from her?
Crystal(s)× 4A traveller residing at your royal court has introduced you to hunting. Now, you want to establish a group for that sport. Provide the necessary resources.
On completion: That should be enough to equip the first hunting session of the royal court. Enjoy the hunt!!
Crystal(s)× 4One of the battlemasters from your barracks has suggested drilling elite soldiers to keep up with your enemies. Maybe you should give it a try?
On completion: It looks like it totally paid off to train elite soldiers. They are considerably more effective than the normal ones.
Crystal(s)× 6You won't believe it... I just met a man who told me he can get to the moon. Yeah - that moon. He says all he needs is a cannon, a barrel, and lots of gunpowder...
On completion: W-what happened to the man? He just flew out of the cannon into the blue! I hope he's alright...
Crystal(s)× 7A couple of caring parents approached me today. They told me we need some kind of a library, a place where our kids can learn about the world. We have to prepare the next generation for the world outside, so they asked if you can help them out with some books.
On completion: The people are grateful for your contribution. Now they are able to teach our youngsters about the world and how it works.
Crystal(s)× 6I didn't even know you could do that. This guy from the east is an artist, he just creates sculptures out of paper! Maybe if we give him a lot, he'll create something special for us...
On completion: Here - I brought you a crane made out of paper. There's a lot more where that came from, and people are going crazy for it.
Crystal(s)× 4Our town is growing, and we need more food! One farmer had an idea that we could use saltpetre as fertilizer to boost our crops' growth rate. Maybe we should try it.
On completion: Now we just have to wait and see.
Crystal(s)× 6Our people have been asking for more entertainment. Luckily, I met William. He has an idea - a tournament where our finest knights perform against each other, both on horseback and on their feet. Of course, the contest will have to take place under certain rules... but it could be good?
On completion: It's the Black Knight! He did incredibly well. I didn't even know we had such talented people among our troops.
Crystal(s)× 5Some of the richest families have decided to design some fancy furniture to decorate their homes. Only the best wood can be used, of course.
On completion: Look at this fancy furniture! Maybe I should buy some of it...
Crystal(s)× 5A very rich lord in your settlement just finished building his new house. To make it stand out, he's asked you for some Beanstalks. He plans on planting them around his house to cover those empty walls.
On completion: The Lord is very thankful, and invites you for dinner in a few weeks' time to see how the beanstalks are coming along.
Crystal(s)× 6There is a discussion going on. Which swords are better - damascene or platinum? Two guys want to test them out, and maybe bust one or two myths about swords.
On completion: Well, that settles it. We found out that platinum swords are lighter and faster, but not really more durable compared to damascene swords. Your settlers loved the comparison, though - maybe we should blow something up next time?
Crystal(s)× 6Just saw two people discussing whose horse is faster, and it hit me - let's make a wagon race!
On completion: Our shoe maker delivered an incredible performance. The skill he must have to control that wagon at top speed - unbelievable.
Crystal(s)× 5A small kid just arrived at our gates. He was dirty and tired, and spoke of a small village that needs our help against some bandits. We should send out some of our troops.
On completion: We banished those bandits, and they'll think twice before coming back.
Crystal(s)× 5Those Annoholics are a big hit. When they throw a concert, it always sells out. The stages are getting bigger and bigger. More people than ever are going to see them - we should award this success.
On completion: The band members were really happy about the award. They promised to continue to throw concerts.
Crystal(s)× 5A small kid just arrived at our gates. He was dirty and tired, and spoke of a small village that needs our help against some bandits. We should send out some of our troops.
On completion: Those kittens are so cute. The children love to play with them.
Crystal(s)× 7An ambassador sent by a king from the south just arrived at our gates. He's heard about our victorious troops, and asks if they can train the troops of his king. Would you send out your best man to help him?
On completion: Our troops will leave soon, and help the king to train his troops.
Copper Ore× 25We're about to welcome a group of high ranking visitors from Capital Island, all friends of King Damien! I fear we will not be able to provide them with all the goods they need! Maybe one of your friends can help?
On completion: Your neighbour was eager to help you. Now you have enough goods to please our guests!
Iron Ore× 25You know those loudmouths down at the pier? They're spreading rumours that you do not have true friends, because you never receive anything in return for your generosity. Prove them wrong.
On completion: Of course, your friends were eager to help immediately. They are true friends after all.
Exotic Wood× 25Your brother Theodor is visiting, and tells you incessantly of his economic success. It strikes you that he does not seem to have any friends, and does everything on his own. Show him that friends can be a great help.
On completion: Theodor admits that good friends can prove to be a great help, and immediately runs off to get some. Let's hope he will be alright.
Copper Ore× 120We've managed to open that little box our hunters found the other day! The box contained a message that reads: When trouble comes, a friend will hold the first sword against it! Sounds weird, I know, but it makes you think, right? Let's help our friends. I'm sure they'll be happy!
On completion: That was quite a generous gesture from you. Surely, your friend will not forget this. Good thing we found that box!
Iron Ore× 120Oh no! Theodor, your brother, is about to visit us! Again! He almost certainly wants goods from you. Quick! Use any excess resources to support someone who really needs them.
On completion: As you suspected, he wanted to acquire goods he does not really need. Unfortunately, you didn't have much to offer, so he went away. Maybe you have pampered him too much in the past?!
Exotic Wood× 120One of our sages has predicted a heat wave that's going to hit one of your friends' islands! We should go and help him prepare! You never know what a heat wave can do…
On completion: That is enough to begin with. I'm sure he will be able to protect his island from here on.
Copper Ore× 30Our settlers seem very tired lately. It must be because of those weird scents coming from the woods. They are making everyone sleepy and hungry. We should prepare some food for them! Maybe the food will raise their spirits!
On completion: The additional food should be enough motivation for your settlers, and allow them to flourish again. I wonder where that scent is coming from though…
Iron Ore× 70Your cousin Frederik has sold too much food. Now he doesn't have enough left to feed his settlers. Quick! Help him so that his people do not have to suffer.
On completion: Well done. This food should be enough to feed his inhabitants. Hopefully, he has learnt something from this.
Exotic Wood× 260Last week one of our lords made a deal with some foreigners. He sold them some old statues he found in his backyard. Now the lords have asked you to help them welcome the buyers! I guess we can surprise them with our best food!
On completion: How rude! They left before we could serve the food! Well, that at least leaves some spare food for our settlers.
Exotic Wood× 200
Coins× 50Your troops in the barracks are really bored because they have run out of glorious stories to tell! I think it's time for a fresh adventure that could provide some new tales!
On completion: The numerous new stories your troops can tell should comfort them for a while.
Titanium Ore× 200Coins× 100Your mother-in-law has invited herself for a visit and you are not keen on answering her stupid questions. Better make yourself scarce for a while.
On completion: Phew! She left! Good work!
A bandit leader named Chuck has mocked you in a letter and displayed it publicly for all to see. We have found out that he is hiding in a nearby forest with his brother, Norys. Do not let him get away with this smear on your name!
On completion: Never again will bandits walk all over you… Chuck will think twice about it too…
Exotic Wood× 300Coins× 30We have obtained a request for help from a nearby seaport. The inhabitants of Dagger Island have been attacked by cruel bandits, and urgently need military support!
On completion: With an assault on the root of all evil, you were able to bring peace back to the island. The inhabitants are very grateful.
Your military advisor has confided in you, telling of the feelings of insecurity among your settlers, brought on by tales of people disappearing at the border of your realm. You should show them quickly that they have nothing to fear.
On completion: With your drastic measures, you showed your settlers that there is nothing to be afraid of!
Iron Ore× 20One of your stonecutters is extremely excited, talking of an epoch-making invention of his that can transform stone into marble! You should try it!
On completion: It really works. Fascinating! Too bad your stone cutter cannot write to document the procedure.
The old alchemist has come up with a new serum that can turn swords into iron swords. He says that he found the formula inside an old tree near the waterfalls. The problem is that the serum treatment consumes a lot of bronze swords to produce the iron swords. No matter though - it might come useful!
On completion: Well I'll be… it worked! I guess we can use the treatment if we really need it!
Map Fragment× 75Coins× 10One of your townswomen approaches, drenched in tears, and tells you how her husband is deep in debt because of gambling. She begs you for help and offers brew in return. Convert the brew into gold.
On completion: That should be enough to clear the dept. Your townswoman is exuberantly happy and vows eternal gratitude.
Exotic Wood× 300Coins× 30Our troops found a new island last summer that has a swamp on it. It was filled with weird wooden structures. They believed it to be a witch hut, but they never got back to make sure. Well, it actually was a witch hut, and that witch is back. We need to take care of it!
On completion: Even though the reward was not as huge as expected, the whole thing paid off. She was no match for you, anyway. Even so, I'm not sure we've seen the last of that witch…
Exotic Wood× 400Coins× 40I bring ill news! I have received reports from my spies that the upper nobility is about to turn against you! This cannot be allowed!
On completion: You showed them the ropes. Now, your settlers will think twice before betraying you.
Exotic Wood× 200Coins× 40We were on the lookout for a new adventure when a letter reached us, asking that you bring a former bowman to justice. Nice timing!
On completion: The bowman did not stand a chance against you. Now we are in need of a new quest, but don't worry - we'll find one soon enough.
Oh dear! We've lost some cannons! At first we believed they had been stolen by the pirates but… but no! They actually got stolen by some renegade knights of ours, and they have taken over Greenmoor castle in the valley! We need to take back the castle and the cannons! Our city is in danger!
On completion: We took back the castle! And just as I entered the cannon room, I found the attack plans! The next target was to be your city. That was really close.
An exotic bird arrived this morning with a letter attached to its back. The letter is an open challenge from a raider clan called "The Sons of the Veld". They say that you're ugly. I have already prepared the ships, so let's go visit them. They need to be taught that insults do not go unpunished.
On completion: In fact, your visit was as unpleasant as you anticipated, but on a good note, they now think you're handsome, so that's good news!
