Construct the Salt Guard

We ask permission to build the Salt Guard, Menno van Ritsjhof’s planned fortification in Siroc, and for a disbursement of funds for the construction.
Proposed by Madruga, seconded by Feroz.

Overview

• Commission a unique fortification in Madruga as part of an opportunity presented by the famed architect Menno van Ritsjhof.
• Passed at 80 Thrones

Date

• Summer 382YE

Cost

• This commission uses non-standard costs.
• 100 wains of white granite
• 20 wains of weirwood
• 30 Thrones labour costs
• Upkeep: 10 Thrones each season
• A year to complete

Progress

• 25 wains of White granite, 5 wains of Weirwood, and 10 thrones provided byAdan i DelToro i Riqueza after the Summer Solstice 382YE.
• 30 wains of white granite and 14 wains of weirwood provided by Lieselotte van Holberg after the Autumn Equinox 382YE.
• 20 wains of white granite, and 5 Thrones, will be provided by the vigilant citizens inspired by the shrine of the Sentinel in Casinea

Campaign Outcome

• When complete, the resulting fortification will have an effective strength of 3,000 against any conventional land forces invading anywhere in Madruga.
• Against any Shore Offensive aimed at capturing Siroc or the Lyceum (essentially any Shore Offensive aimed at the Siroc Plains), the fortification would resist conquest with an effective force of 6,000 (OOC Note: bearing in mind that the benefit of a fortification in a region directly being attacked will further increase this force, this is a significant advantage).
