An event chain suggestion for once war system is added.
After Central's construction of the small warehouse and workshop and the establishment of the Orchel trade route, the elves of Orchel have more ties and 'debt' to the Central than they do to Dorgania. The next logical step is to strengthen these ties and increase the 'debt' by, for example, sponsoring further development such as building roads to connect Orchel to Central in the name of 'promoting trade' or by sending a consul, actions that, by themselves, aren't too too suspicious but add up to a greater goal. The end goal being convincing the citizens of Orchel that living in Central is in their best interests. This could lead to them sending a request to King Lancafew and Ryen to be annexed by Central.
The event chain could go something like this:
- Prerequisites: finished the "Orchel Trade Route" quest, has stone roads
- Darude tells you that it takes too long to get to Orchel because of the forest
- Talk to Sir Edward and/or Filauria about building a road and build the road
- Talk to Theremis about sending a consul to make trade easier
- Prerequisites: has high freedom and possibly banned slavery
- A petition from Orchel appears on the paperwork table in your room
- Talk to Trey, Mirel, Gunter (or Lind) and Theremis about the petition before sending an official reply
- Branching path 1
- Send a demand to King Lancafew to hand over Orchel
- He obviously refuses, what king would just hand over land
- Fight! Fight! Fight!
- Branching path 2; requirements: good relations with King Lancafew and a lot of gold
- Go to King Lancafew to discuss the Orchel situation
- Suggest purchasing the village
- War averted
- IDK, a celebration orgy in the village? Just to add an NSFW ending to the event chain
