CASE FILE: ARKA6711H
HOUSE BOURBON
JOSEF
The Directory of Public Safety and a great majority of the Highlands common population are very concerned with the potential for extremist and regressive activities from the House of Bourbon. In the First Era, this was our most contentious House to bring to heel. The House is probably the most ancient of all surviving Houses and their lands are tightly held by Founding Rights that we cannot repeal without provoking complex international conflict.
PROPOSED COUNTERINTELLIGENCE MEASURE
It is proposed that the following letter be typewritten on commercial paper and forwarded to JOSEF BOURBON at his Highland estate. It should bear the post markings of the Roark Merchant’s Guild’s chapter house in Malicity.
“Josef Bourbon —
The closed-door activities and conduct of you and your Named peers at the recently concluded Spring Market Open have disturbed the Highland Merchants’ community who have noticed increasing intimidation methods and the promotion of nihilistic doctrines among your congregations. Your immature actions of sponsoring a sporting rifle event on A-11 have further alienated you and your peers from the spirit and tone in which our regional community is steering. Your past involvement in various quasi-criminal activities further exemplifies the inappropriateness of your House possessing Electoral authority in the Highlands. Your conduct and demeanor is representative of traits and habits that we as a nation are trying to move away from.
Should you feel that this is a hollow warning and not heed our diplomatic and well-thought-out considerations we shall discuss contacting Directory authorities regarding some of your activities or take other measures available to us which would have a more direct effect and which would not be as a cordial as this note. “
OBJECTIVE
It is hoped that this letter if approved and forwarded to House Bourbon will give Josef the impression that he has been discredited in the Highlands and is no longer welcomed there. It could discourage him from a high-profile public life and may even cause him to emigrate to less troublesome pastures.

How to Raise Your Dungeon
A dungeon core awakens for the first time. It knows nothing, it has nothing, but it can hear something. Voices, whispering, talking, and sharing. For now, they are distant. But it believes, if it proves itself, they may provide it with wisdom and direction. And so its slow but steady growth begins. Polls will come when the dungeon specifically wants to choose between a number of options, and believes it will receive an answer. However, it will "hear" any comments made on the most recent chapter, and these will shape its behaviour. It trusts you implicitely. This story is an exercise in stretching my creative muscles, so with each decision made, the options and opportunities open to the dungeon will change- some closing off forever. The dungeon will face threats periodically, and its fate in these encounters will be heavily influenced by your advice, though it will of course do its absolute best even without advice. It hardly wants to die. Heavily inspired by There Is No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, though my approach to the concept is somewhat different from that work.
