Des questions sur l'univers? J'écoute!
Utilisez les commentaires (ne marchent pour l'instant que dans la version anglaise du site) pour poser votre question, et je vous répondrai du mieux que je peux.
Évidemment, je me réserve le droit de passer celles qui ruineraient les surprises de l'histoire, comme "Qui est le Petit Guerrier, quel est son but et son parfum de glace préféré?" ou autres "J'ai besoin du compte précis de cailloux dans les Rocs".
Après, la frontière est parfois mince donc qui sait^^.
Alors, à quoi pensiez-vous?
Who was the previous owner of the little warrior’s helm? And is there a current ruler/champion of the rocks?
His name was Blade Shatterer, who planted many feathers upon it, had the bad reputation of loving peace and inaction, and is one of the few warriors in History dying from old age.
The entire social structure of the Warriors of the Rocks collapsed in the Tragedy, they are without ruler, and there are almost no warriors left. Those who still live drift, across their maze of moutains, in search of meaning.
How the heck did the helmet get on the pillar in the first place
Legend is, that when Invincible Luck became a shepherd, he sought the highest peak around to hide his old helmet. Then he thought that it still wasn’t high enough! As per his cheerful and playful nature, he chose to lay a single slate stone on the ground, vowing to place one more atop each time he came back. This went on for many years, and one day he deemed the pillar high enough, as it was slicing a cloud in half. He went up, put his old helmet at the top, facing away from the setting sun, and removed the branches used as steps going back down. He then went to his house, sat down and died happy.
Nowadays the pillar is known as one of Invincible Luck’s “Jokes”, that abound in the area, presumably protecting anyone that doesn’t disrespect them.
…most prices at the Kizhian market seemed to stay in step with those of Golemia this season, apart from what we’ve come to expect with gems and grain. In this humble ambassador’s opinion, the crown need not worry of trade competition with Kizh for this year. I’ve also attached a Diagram of the regent’s announcement of the seven-fold increase in patrols along Kizh’s North-Western border. As ever, if the crown has guidance on the matter, I will execute on it dutifully.
Glory to the Golems. ~ Kruos Marifica
//////////////////
Apologies to the spymaster for my clumsy code – and please let it be known that the recent announcement by the Kizhian regent only gave a five-fold increase in patrols, which you should see on this document.
I write mostly with regard to the recent actions of the Dagram fanatics. I do not know how successful the Lance was, though I do not suspect I will be kept informed. Still, I have been doing some research and I know a bit of where in the city the fanatics operate and recruit most. I offer this as a potential means of stopping any further work by the fanatics:
If the crown sends along some simple approved educational pieces, such as a list of the Golems and their works, or the wonders of Golemia, I might be able to spend some coin and have copies posted anonymously where they will be most effective.
Education, I find, is often a means of attack as vicious as the spear.

We thank you for your report, good ambassador, and are satisfied that shipments between the capital and Kizh will be secured. No word has come from above about specific needs or informations, so be free to partake in the incoming Salt and Spice Festival as usual, and remind them that the Emperor’s sole wish is the well-being of all his subjects.

I share your ideas, but sending you an entire library could reveal to be quite conspicuous. And easily flammable, even with five-fold patrol on the roads. There’s the Ocean route, of course, but our friends the “Free Traders” have been a nuisance and books are simply too valuable.
Ask for specific topics and it will be easier for us to get you the knowledge you desire.
For now, what the populace needs to understand is to respect the Triad of Trinities.
Dagram, for the body and the earth, Lord of Kings, Ultimate Judge, Ruler of War.
Asta, for the heart and the fire, Dispenser of Light, Burning Renewal, Ruler of Life.
Gnezom, for the mind and the water, Keeper of Dreams, Ultimate Wizard, Ruler of Mystery.
Norodol, between Gnezom and Dagram, for the tree, Shepherd of Humans, Tasked with Ways. Silent for over two centuries.
Mnamo Zir, between Asta and Gnezom, for the air, Maker of Plans, Tasked with Ideas.
Ghureoz, between Dagram and Asta, for the metal, Bringer of Destruction, Tasked with Wounds.
Laphneom, lesser aspect of Dagram, between Norodol and Ghureoz, Tasked with Groups.
Dandarel, lesser aspect of Asta, between Ghureoz and Mnamo Zir, Tasked with Attraction.
Meleznem, lesser aspect of Gnezom, between Mnamo Zir and Norodol, Tasked with Limits.
The Golems are the guardians of this world, and the ones who made us what we are. They also are institutions, customs, orders, belief, that hold more political power than any of us. To try and merge three of them is not only sacrilegious, it is unbalance and disorder, and the advent of a might that can only breed chaos and despair. Not to mention, such unpleasant taste.
For a start, reminding these simple facts to whom it may concern, with words they can understand, is the most important thing. Do not put yourself in too much danger of course. You have very competent persons at the Embassy.
When this is well under way, do ask me for more.
