Overview
Welcome to the Interlude page for the Autumn 225 Summit! This is a new concept that the Team is trialling to assist in providing clarity for Downtime and other events that have resulted from Player action this Summit. On this page you can find the Downtime Submission link, public Special Actions, Council decisions and far more!
Everything you can find here in the Interlude page will also hopefully assist in providing some further reasoning to actions between Summits. For the most part, The Winds of the World themselves will answer a lot of these questions, but all information found here can be considered to be known in character! This will help for folks running Sanctioned Events, or at Game Hen Events, by providing at least a baseline understanding of what will be happening in the early stages of the Season between Summits.
In regards to Downtime itself, please note that as always not everyone needs to submit a Downtime! If you are not planning on taking any Special Actions, either public or known to you, and you just want to produce as standard for your Investment, then don’t feel like you have to submit. However, if getting involved in shenanigans is for you, then have a read below to work out if there is anything you can get involved in that is publicly available!
There will always be Special Actions that are private, or locked to particular Investments, Archetypes, Realms and more. If it is not mentioned in this Interlude Page, and you do not know what it is, we ask that you do not select it!
The Deadline for Downtime Submissions is Sunday 18th of May 2025
Councils and Choices
As always, the various Councils of The Concord have been busy making decisions, declarations and more. In particular, the choices of The Senate, The Church and The Warchamber are all worth knowing to both the people of Southern Esterra and the heroes of The Concord. While it may take some time for The Civil Service to publish these documents, they can be found here;
Previously, Military Orders were not made public in the same way as Senate and Church Motions until the release of The Winds of the World. The Team is hoping that by making these actions public from the get go, it can provide clarity for both Downtime and roleplay between Events.
Investments and Downtime
The below section will cover the specific details that are important for particular Investments. A lot of this information is clearly listed in the Downtime Form itself, or in the Investments page, but by also adding it below it can give a bit more flavour for those who may not have had an idea of what they wanted to do!
In addition, if there are any Special Actions relating to an Investment that are public knowledge, they will be listed here too alongside a brief description! If you don’t see your Investment listed, it just means that there are no additional notes that may be relevant to you for Downtime and the Interlude, beyond the narrative of last Season’s Winds and the Winds yet to come.
Military Investments
The list of actions a Military Investment can take are varied, but detailed here in the Investments Page!
In particular, Supporting an Army or Fortification, Scouting the Frontline, and Paid Work are the most common of the Standard Actions. At a baseline, Military Investments are assumed to be taking the Paid Work action, which will net a random assortment of resources, items or income!
Players wanting to Support an Army or Fortification are encouraged to read the Military Orders page so as to have a better idea of what is going on in the wider campaign at the end of Summit. The page details the orders given by Generals and Champions, and can greatly influence what Force you might want to Support!
Players wanting to send their Military to Scout the Frontline will find that they are only able to select Territories adjacent to Concordian held land. This is a new change, but one that will hopefully focus the intent on this action and provide much more substantial and meaningful results. There is no current list for applicable Territories and benefits or consequences for choosing them, however it can be expected that each Territory will be heavily impacted by Military Orders, Winds and the greater narrative at play in that area. All Territories that can be chosen for Scouting are listed in the Downtime Form for ease!
Special Actions - Military
Raid Draemoor - With a partial victory on the first night of Summit, Bordevar was able to secure a partial hold on an important garrison within Draemoor. As per the Winds entry “One Crown Before All Others”, this has created a Special Action for any Military Investment. Please read the linked entry for more, but know that as a full victory was not obtained, the action is expected to be more difficult. This has not raised the numbers required, but increased the likelihood of damage or worse.
Scout Draemoor - Much the same as the above public Special Action, a partial victory on the first night of Summit, has secured a partial foothold within Draemoor, allowing scouts to move deeper into the Duchy. As per the Winds entry “One Crown Before All Others”, this has created a Special Action for any Military Investment. Please read the linked entry for more, but know that as a full victory was not obtained, the action is expected to be more difficult. This has not raised the numbers required, but increased the likelihood of damage or worse.
The list of actions a Naval Investment can take are just as varied as a Military, but often far more outgoing. Detailed information can be found here in the Investments Page!
In particular, Supporting a Fleet, Trade with Foreign Ports, and Paid Work are the most common of the Standard Actions. At a baseline, Naval Investments are assumed to be taking the Paid Work action, which will net a random assortment of resources, items or income!
Players wanting to Support a Fleet are encouraged to read the Military Orders page so as to have a better idea of what is going on in the wider campaign at the end of Summit. The page details the orders given by Generals and Champions, and can greatly influence what Force you might want to Support!
Players wanting to send their Naval Investment to Trade with Foreign Ports will find a list of known Ports to trade with in the Downtime Form! Some of these Ports can be found across the Wiki, with relevant trade expectations listed within the appropriate sections, however others are not. The Team is working on putting together a more succinct list for the purposes of Trade, but in the meantime Players should expect Military Orders, Winds and the greater narrative to heavily impact the result!
Harry the Western Imperial Fleet (Violent) - Though the reasons will depend on communication with those Concordians taking action across the seas, any Naval Investment may take hostile action in The Central Trade Sea against the Western Imperial Fleet of Artebazzan. Such a thing is exceedingly dangerous, and is available to all due to public rumouring but is not recommended unless one knows the risks, danger and reasoning for doing so.
Other Investments with Public Special actions
There are, at present, no additional Public Special Actions for any other Investment. Any Special Action listed within the Downtime Form will be intended for those invited, including any additional constraints and requirements to choose it.
