The King is awarding huge prizes, that is for sure. All the previous countryside events have been cancelled and you are ready to explore with all your characters and troops if so wished. SCI is used as a currency for "action points", the more is needed, the larger your force.

Planning ahead where to go and in what formation, does not cost anything, increases the chances of success, and please do it here in this thread.

Getting intelligence during the live chat encounters costs SCI.

Encounter resolution may award you anything you have asked for (or not), including a dragon dead or alive, but there also are dangers. Peasants have grown to ignore our rule, and borders are open for people to come from strange nations, who do not appreciate our customs. Luckily they can be recognised by the culture. So military encounter with its glories and sufferings might be encountered.

Depending where you go, artifacts, silver and CAN may be obtainable.

After enough plans are posted in the thread, the live solver can be had.

If you read this, no matter how feeble and ill-equipped you are, team up with others and ask for weapons etc. Then share the loot!
