NPC Campaign Submission

NPC Country: Kave and Ostland NPC Location: Brigidna NPC Government: Duchy for Kave, Republic for Ostland Campaign Setting: Post-1600 Informational Links: /Y E E T NPC History Ostland and Kave have been mostly sleepy since their creation. They've been loosely involved with the WBEA and attended the Essig Conference recently. Campaign Plot This is the interesting part. I'm thinking WBU begins manipulating activities in Ostland and Kave with the intention of bringing them into the fold while still appearing outwardly friendly/involved. With Ostland, being a republic, influencing elections is obviously an option, while promoting candidates that are party to our cause could help, it could be just as suitable to support wild candidates who would destabilize the country and lead to protests/unrest. If the protests become bad enough, someone would have to ensure peace returns to Ostland, right? With Kave, we have a few options, we could try to negotiate with them, but we could also sponsor republican groups that seek democratic institutions in Kave, and if successful nudge them in our direction. I could see some sort of coup attempt in Kave to remove the royalists in power and replace them with republican government. If our clandestine activities dont work very well, we could ultimately just invade under some pretense, or facilitate a more direct coup-d'etat in either country to force them to bend to our will. We'll see how things progress. WBU is interested in protecting its reputation, but maybe not that much. We'll see how this progresses and work from there. We have a lot of options. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, monsieur directorate. Potential for Other Player Involvement Nerysia would certainly have interest in this, as might Gehenna and Aurentine, Lanlania, etc. Nents and I discussed a cloak and dagger game, particularly in Ostland. This could also lead to Nerysia doing something or other with regards to Dyrheim as a means for matching WBU's expansion.
