[Economy] E10 tech Reformed Coatlean numerals (+1 to a Economic action with one paper or knowledge resource, with 3 paper or knowledge resources +1 to a single faith or econ action)Building on the works of the late philosopher Defenna Mersunnua and the proofs of Regnan Epitheca Doceo, Coszcatl of The Shona and his disciples have built off the existing Coatlean numeral system to add a new edition. While previous numeral systems represented 0 as a punctuation, Coszcatl has attempted to conceptualize it as a true number, allowing for both more complex calculations while simplifying the Coatlean numeral system. However, Coszacatl's proposed reforms have become controversial over doubts over the idea that the abstract concept of "nothingness" is possible in a world where Xincoatl is all things. After all how can true nothingness exists in a world where all the natural cycles exists in balance?Despite the philosophical controversy Coszcatl's reforms have received state after their practicality was demonstrated in the key planning stages of the canal.

[Economy] Great Project Great Badan Canal 9/10) Day and night the workers, bolstered by thralls from Azenhal and kansett engineers have managed to expedite the canals progress to an unprecedented degree. Slowly but sure locks slowly were filled in with water and all the necessary accessories began to operate. Unfortunately this process of digging the canal has dug through much of the theocracy's treasury. It'd be at least a decade before Tizoc could consider himself free from Khirese, Azen and Avakonian creditors. Not only have the theocracy's finances be consumed but the house of Tennoch itself had to sell many of its estates in order to keep up.

[Economy] Great Project Great Badan Canal 10/10) After 9 years of construction, the Great Badan canal is finally completed. At 70 km in length the canal moves through forests marshes and valley's connecting two of the greatest seas of Emjata. On the Badan side of the canal the city of Yuhyan serves as the main port of entry. Once a minor fishing village its position has made it a home for the multitude of artisans, slaves, and merchants. Now one of the largest cities in the region, it hosts a pyramid of Xincoatl, a temple of Reiba and a Khirese style arena.

[Diplomacy] The Dwarfs of Azenhal are given a decade of free passage through the Great Badan canal and free transport to the Pall. The Most influential of the Dwarven funders are given 12 Quill slaves in order to assist exploring the jungles of The Pall.

News and Rumors

• The Theocracies recent infrastructure project and expansion of its naval capacity has heavily strained the state finances. Even Tizoc had to leverage his houses personal wealth in order to complete these herculean goals. But who provided the loans to complete this project, some say Tizoc begged the lazarites for funds, others claim he gave vast estates to wealthy Avakonian exiles from the former principality in exchange for funds, while the more conspiracy minded claim that he accepted gold from shadowy men of the south.
  
• Quill slaves have recently discovered an abandoned temple complex within the Pall's jungles. Occupying approximately 10 square miles of jungle, this complex is among the largest on the continent. The foraging Quill came upon it by findingf statues of Ehcatls, dragons, and multi headed moas. Most Quill reports indicate the interior of temple is filled with strange pictographs resembling no modern language found in Palmor adorning a series of glossy Jade stones. What hadn't been devoured by the near endless jungle was occupied by un-moving spore thralls. Consisting of a mixture of former human settlers and O'ule gatherers the spore thralls congregate in dark damp places often near the entrances to underground passageways, fiercly guarding their territory.
  
• Sightings of a man covered in moss have been circulating around the stone cities of Shona and Wheuna oneone. While many of these sightings are undoubtedly just here say, the ones with a degree of veracity commonly describe a moss covered humanoid, resembling an old man, traversing the outskirts of villages kidnapping those unlucky enough to cross his path to turn into thralls. A couple Magi devoted to tracking this menace down have determined this mysterious being to be heading towards the Pall.
