The Rise and Fall of the Barony of von Smooglenuff

[Pegasus]

The Barony of von Smooglenuff

Up to date. You have the following:

The House
You have a Manor which is the equivalent of 2 x Tier 10 Buildings. There is a staff. It is furnished and decorated.
Be aware that this is where you may live in perpetuity but it is not yours as in - you can't sell it.
Please submit a location write up to the Dev Forum. Include in that NPCs for the heads of staff and staff numbers.

The People
There is a small military force which patrol and keep order. They do so both inside and outside the manor.
Please submit NPCs to the Dev Forum - but only the heads.
You may assume that you have contact details for all known / legal factions on Scalvoris - and that if you wish to arrange a meeting with any of them, that is done. Please let me know if you do and I'll give you modnotes or mod.

The Grounds
The land is roughly ten acres. You have the potential to mine (at the base of the mountains) but you also have the Badlands to the side.
There is the possibility of farmland or livestock, if you wish it.
You start the new cycle (1st Ymiden) with all debris clear and a map. If you want to make a map and Dev Forum it, I'll be delighted.

The Vineyard
You have your own vineyard!
This will produce wine which you will be able to sell, should you wish to. Please see note re: Fire Wine. here

Bonuses Unlocked!
The 30% Loyalty Threshold has been met. This grants you a bonus. Any Wealth Thread which is undertaken in the Barony will gain an extra +2WP for either of the Barons.

Bees
You have a potential for an apiary

Records of Items Added (for posterity and because I'll delete them in the post above when they run out.

A Domain Bag Full of Stuff Devin

Thread Link: A Domain Bag full of Stuff!
What are you doing? Devin makes an offering to Delroth and a donation for the war. He mentions his being a Baron when he does so. When I posted in Impact Threads, I was given the following consequence: The Barony will get a 20% discount on all building supplies / building work throughout this Cycle and next.

Linking because the thread is finished.

Thread Link: Another Meeting with the Builders
What are you doing? Devin cooks for Herman McGerman and the other Cadouri again when they visit him in Scalvoris Town. Afterwards, they discuss the arrangement of the rooms in the new manor and such. This solo is a leftover from last cycle.

Linking because the thread is finished.

!	Message from: Peg
	Accepted. Because of this the Barony will gain an increased relationship with Saoire's School. This will help with the Belongingness Need.

[Devin]

Thread Link:
Letters on the Beach
A Very Furry Patient
What are you doing? Devin writes Saoire a letter and offers to treat her staff as well as her students at the manor clinic (and Saoire herself, if she ever doesn't feel well). He also offers to treat the people of Hopetoun. A few trials later, the first patient, a student from Saoire's school, arrives.

This thread meets the following objective, I think:

Belongingness Needs 01: Build relationships between the Barony and the rest of Faldrass

!	Message from: Peg
	Accepted. This has met Belongingness Need 04

[Devin]

Thread Link: Where No Spirits Rest
What are you doing? The Spirit's Rest Oasis wishes to work with the Barony, so Devin visits them. He tells Nyjj about the party he wants to hold and proposes to collect donations for the Oasis and raise awareness for mental health issues. Nyjj agrees.

This thread meets the following objectives in my opinion:

Physical Needs 05: Have a party!: This is the thread where Devin starts to plan his party.
Belongingness Needs 01: Build relationships between the Barony and the rest of Faldrass: This is (hopefully) the start of a collaboration between the Barony and the Spirit's Rest Oasis.

!	Message from: Peg
	Accepted! This meets Belongingess Need 06!

[Devin]

What are you doing? Building a road that connects the manor with Hopetoun and the big dock to the south.

This thread meets the following objectives:

Physical Needs 04: Get some roads built

Thread Link: Benches
What are you doing? Devin travels to Hopetoun and asks Vega to build benches for him - very special rainbow-colored benches with carvings, canopies and tables. He wants to place them next to the new road so that travelers can sit there and rest.

What are you doing? Devin solves the beer crisis (so that he can have a party with beer at the manor, among other things). A parasite that was transmitted via bird droppings caused it. He also buys supplies for the Barony in one of these threads and starts to think about what kind of food he wants to serve at his future party.

!	Message from: Peg
	Accepted - as a result of this, there are two outcomes for the Barony. You get a year's supply of free, high class wine from a grateful supplier. The Barony is approached (on 1st Vhalar) to consider starting a vinyard and creating the "Smooglenuff" brand of fine wines. This is a bonus objective which will have positive consequences if met but no negative ones if not.

Thread Link:
Devin Teaches People To Fight (Part 1)
Devin Teaches People To Fight (Part 2)
What are you doing? In order to improve the Barony's defensive capabilities, Devin decides to offer free sword training to the staff of Smooglenuff Manor. In the threads linked above, he trains the first group of employees. He decides to make those sword fighting lessons a regular occurence - every couple of trials. After every lesson, the students will get food, and the food will be different every time because it's also supposed to be fun. Furthermore, Devin procures seven sets of Echo Scrolls - for the heads of staff as well as the Barons, so that they can communicate quickly in case of an emergency.
