Re: (Aesin) The Lesser Belvairien
It was as if the world skipped a beat - a strange tide of time, the like of which occasionally strikes a realm, for good or for ill - and the Veitin expanded, having half a thousand more people to their population. There were fears they might starve, however, as the icy land did not exactly provide a prosperous farming environment, and hunting was slim..
Mining and smithing is going well. The smiths watch and guide the military in all matters regarding weaponscrafting, and in a few short days a steady production of arrows, pickaxes, shields, armour, weapons.. most was crude, but the quality was steadily improving.
Some of the soldiers have lost morale, especially those resigned to trying to grow crops. They just weren't born for it. The lumberjacks, however, strongly enjoy being able to hit living things with an axe, and the hunters enjoy the game.
