Skarsind and the Spoils of War

Just crossposting from facebook


Hullo! Raff here. I just popped in to draw your collective attention to these two pages: profounddecisions.co.uk/empi … ils_of_War.

The Military Council has a short list of valuable resources (read: upgraded personal resources) in Skarsind that need to be assigned to people. You probably want to try and make sure that they all go to proper Winterfolk rather than foreigners who don’t appreciate the history and tradition they come with Bear in mind that its the whole Council that decides this, not just the Wintermark generals - although you might want to lobby them to be vociferous on your behalf.

If you get one it replaces your existing personal resource, but comes with a little bit of story and flavour attached and the senate pays the normal 2 crown fee for changing a resource - which is nice. Once one is assigned it becomes that characters resource - it can be upgraded, traded and operated just like a normal resource but with a bit of a leg-up in terms of it’s rank.

You can still move in to Skarsind (or return there for exiles) in the usual way - speak to a civil servant about finding a resource there to operate, pay the small fee for changing your resource, bish-bash-bosh jobs a good’un.

Hi Andy, Is there a full list of who got what yet? I missed the last moot of the event where it was announced.

There is - on the plot wiki at the moment. I plan to copy it across when I have a better head but it will take literally 30 seconds when I get to it. I considered deleting the Spoils of War page after the event but frankly I like the flavour it creates and will instead firm up the links from the Skarsind page to it. It makes the “story” easier to capture.

Ta very much. I agree with keeping the spoils of war page, I really liked the bits of flavour text that accompanied each resource.

I need to come up with something similar for my own :slight_smile:

My real hope is that over winter (sooner if I can wrangle it) anyone who wants to will be able to add 150 characters or so of short description to their “stuff” and make it “realer”

Would it make sense that a Marker (?) who previously abided in Skarsind would feel that their homeland is being “doled out” to other people? Or is that not what is going on here? Or alternatively is the survivalist nature of the Wintermark people not entirely matching with that thinking?

It is only a small amount of trophies that were handed out here, but it’s entire IC to be annoyed with how the military council have doled them out to people if you disagree with who they’ve been given to. Good starting point is to go and talk to your generals about the hows and whys of the decisions.
