====== The Princedom of the Redbeards ======
~~NOTOC~~

===== The Redbeard Central Committee =====
Every 7 years, the Redbeards hold an all Redbeard Congress that elects the members of the Central Committee of Elders, that will guide and govern the Redbeards for the next term of 7 years. From the elected members, the Prince Secretary of all Redbeards is chosen or reaffirmed. By tradition, Comerade Prince Secretary is usually reaffirmed. Actual changes in this position are rare, and sometimes, a son might succeed his father.

The Central Committee has the following positions:

  * Comerade Prince Secretary of all Redbeards. He is the ultimate leader of all Redbeards.
  * Comerade Chief Warrior. He is the leader of the Redbeard army, or in short (as some of the people in the Vales call them) the //Red Army//.
  * Comerade Chief Smith. He directs the focus of the Redbeard production, research and design.
  * Comerade Chief Merchant. He leads merchants of the Redbeards.
  * Comerade City Diplomat. This particular Redbeard is actually not from the Princedom, as he represents the City Redbeards in the Central Committee. This position was created quite recently (maybe a century or so).

==== Food ====
The Redbeards need to spend 5 food tokens each week/Strategic Turn. If you don't have the needed tokens, your army will simply get up and migrate to another Dwarven kingdom that will feed them. There are the following modifications to look out for.

  * The First turn of the game is an extended 4 week turn. So that is 20 food tokens for turn 1. 
  * If the Princedom gains a large amount of guests, those must fed as well. 1 food token for each 1000 guests.
  * It is harvest time at the start of the game.
  * Dwarven food is a bit different from human food. Have fun explaining what you are selling, if you are selling food tokens to another party. Also have fun complaining when non-dwarves try to sell food to you.

=== Available food ===

 The list of available food at the start of the game:

  * Emergency reserves: 25
  * Normal stocks: 15
  * Cattle: 75

You receive 1 cattle food point every week for every 25 points of cattle. It will take a long time to grow back you cattle if you lose them.

==== Gold ====

The list of available gold:
   * Gold: 300
   * Treasure: 400

==== Weapons and armor ====
You have the following weapons in stock for sale:
   * Two hundred armors +1
   * Two hundred swords +1
   * Two hundred pole arms +1
   * Hundred crossbows +1






===== The Redbeards home =====
As the Redbeards are the largest Dwarven population near Urr, they have several large and small dwellings in and under the Green Hills. The most important dwelling and capital of the Redbeards is called the Hill of the Seven Towers.

==== The Hill of the Seven Towers ====
The Redbeards have their largest dwelling and capital at a day's march southwest of Urr, deep in the Green Hills. The princedom is centered around a large hill crowned by seven towers. On the top of the hill is the People's Tower where they receive their important guests. Around the People's Tower are 3 groups of two towers.

To the north (roughly in the direction of Urr) are the Merchant's Towers. To the south east are the iron deposits and the Blacksmith's Towers. To the south west are meadows where the Redbeards keep their cattle and the Farmer's Towers.

These towers were built before building the wall of Urr and have a similar strength. From these towers you can enter the tunnels of the Dwarven capital. Every entrance has a hall that is undermined on purpose to block the entrance in case that a tower is conquered.

==== The tunnels in the hill ====

The real homes of the dwarves are in the tunnels in the hill. The dwarves live in three triangles around the meeting hall of the council. The meeting hall of the council is located under the People's Tower.

==== The Red Army ====
  * 10 infantry units (Regiments 1-10 of 'The Red Army'), any unit can double as an engineers corps if needed.
  * Two raider forces:
    * The Commissjun's Own
    * The Trap Unit

==== Our people in Urr ====

In a sense Urr is as much our city as it is the city of the tall folk who descended from its founders. It's not as cozy as the tunnels of The Hill of The Seven Towers, but most of the stone buildings in Urr have been built by Redbeard masons. Lots of Redbeards live permanently in the City and are as much citizens of Urr as of the Princedom.

===== The other factions =====
==== The Free City of Urr ====

The people of Urr are fair traders and our relation with Urr is good. They can also be incredibly lazy, but that's humans for you.
They pay decent prices for the work done by the redbeards and welcome the other races in the vale.

They have a weird political system where they give all the citizens the right to vote for the city council, but don't share the profits of the city equally.

Also there is this strange ziggurat in the center of the city. We're not complaining, we got payed well to build the bloody thing, but Why!?
A waste of resources if we ever saw one.
==== The Longbeards ====
There is frugal and there is miserly.\\ 
There is eager and there is greedy.\\ 
There are the Redbeards and there are the Longbeards.

==== The Elves ====
Another one of those lazy too-tall species. We have been watching them a long time and let me tell you. Elves may have a reputation as great visionaries, heroes and wizards, but they always have their own longterm plans and it is a generally speaking bad idea to get to involved.

Remember:
    *Do not meddle in the affairs of the Elves for they are subtle and quick to anger. Is just as true as the great maxim:
    *Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

==== The Gnomish Confederacy ====

They are just to weird to understand, but they seem to be happy.

We wouldn't care that much about what they are doing, but many a young red-blooded Redbeard comrade has fallen for the prodigious nose on a Gnome girl. Before you know it, you have a daughter in law whose hobbies include creating explosions and baking candy cane pies.
==== The Orcs ====
We are lucky really, stone doesn't burn well and they don't fancy critters who sport beards, so we only have to worry about being murdered and having our belongings stolen.

Fortunately a good punishment expedition every few years works and keeps them raiding our belongings the next few.

It's really a good development that there are now Free Folk in Urr. City Free Folk generally stop being the homicidal maniacs. There truly is not all that much difference between city Free Folk and the human city dwellers.
==== The Dark Prince ====
You come here destroying peace, disrupting trade. Let me remind you of the ancient Dwarven proverb: //**'Today is a good day for someone else to die'**//

On the other hand. There are consistent rumours that the prince can offer us a better live than the current city of Urr...
