The New Kingdom

After the party beat the old crazy wolverine man, they decided to rest and recover, and set off with their loot and prisoners back to Oleg's the next day. They threw the Stag Lord's body in the Shrike River, thus appeasing the spirit and putting him to rest. They received Nettles' magic ranseur as a reward and kept going, finding a river crossing but not much else for the day. Falgrim Sneeg was incredibly annoying the whole evening.

The next day, on Gozran 16th, the party booked it back to Oleg's, running into one of their hunter friends on the way. They arrived at the Trading Post and presented the head of the Stag Lord to everyone's shock and awe. Rewards for quests were presented, and Falgrim Sneeg was turned over to Sir Garess to be taken back to Restov for punishment, and they were given masterwork weapons as a reward. Yulia presented the charter once again, reminding the party that they would now be in charge of this area. A Brevic soldier was sent away with the Stag Lord's head, and Yulia gave each of the party members their own Poppet as a gift for succeeding the mission.

The next day, the 17th, they set out to explore the remainder of the Greenbelt, starting near the ruins of the Stag Lord's fortress. They found nothing of note, and the day after was much the same. The next day as well... and the day after that, though they had now entered the forest fully. Another day of uneventful exploration passed, but the day after that they found something interesting: a dead unicorn with a missing horn laying in a woodland pond. Artesia was able to figure out that it had been killed by death magic and its horn removed after death, but the party could figure nothing else out about this mystery. The next day, they ran into a slurk in the evening and dispatched it easily, but nothing else of note happened. On Gozran 24th they passed a majestic elk herd and found a grave cairn belonging to a Tiger Lord Clan barbarian. They decided to leave it undisturbed. 2 grigs tried to prank Artesia in the night, but were scared off by her Ragathielite zealotry. The final 2 days of exploring turn up nothing, and so on Gozran 26th, almost exactly 2 months after their arrival, the party had fully surveyed the Greenbelt.

The party return to Oleg's as heroes, and 2 Brevic knights and a nobleman greeted them. The noble presented the party with a new charter granting them the right to rule the Greenbelt in Brevoy's name. They were also given a TON of gold to start their new country up.

After that, the kingdom building phase began. Luka was named the ruler of this new nation, while Yi, Vizma, Nisha and Artesia took up positions as Marshal, Councilor, Magister and Royal Enforcer respectively. Keston Garess was named General, Akiros Ismort the Warden. Yulia was made Spymaster, while Tyg-Titter-Tut became the High Priest of Ragathiel. Oleg and Svetlana offered themselves to become Treasurer and Grand Diplomat. They decided to found their capital city in the ruins of the Stag Lord's fort, and fashioned a new castle out of those ruins. They would spend the coming year building up their new lands...
