With you everything is as… rustic… as ever!
What can there be to celebrate in such a provincial backwater?!
Have you extended the area of your Settlement? Oh!
The size of your City is really of no importance whatsoever...
And just what is supposed to be make your City so special?
Well, if this Settlement satisfies your simple requirements...
You call it progress; I call it presumption!

FeedbackSettlementPositive 6006200

And this splendid City is your work alone? Remarkable!
Your City seems to be flourishing... What a happy accident!
Who would have thought it! Things are starting to happen in your Settlement.
The prosperity of your Settlement is to be congratulated!
To think that YOU managed to create a prosperous Settlement...
You have finally brought your City up to a level where it can be useful!
It was about time you made something out of this one-horse town!

PlayerSettleAIIsland 6006500

What an unseemly incursion! Leave my Lands! Immediately!
Remove yourself at once, before I resort to crude methods!

AIWantIsland 6006600

How discourteous, to push a lady out of the way...
Outrageous! I have had my eye on this island for a long time!
I am of higher rank than you. This should have been MY Island by rights!

DomeBuilt 6006700

You must have a huge amount of Wealth at your disposal if you can afford to build this Cathedral!
At last! A building of a suitable size...

AIResign 6006800

I am tired of wasting my beauty and elegance in a backwoods like this!
There is absolutely no society here to befit a lady of rank!
I long to return to my old life at Court. It is time for me to leave.

SmalltalkCsp 6006900

How can a peasant woman like Marie d’Artois turn the heads of so many men?! It is quite unseemly for honourable Knights to rush to their death for that little trollop's hare-brained schemes!
Although Marie d'Artois is very attractive, she seems to be more interested in military engagement than in her appearance. Presumably she has realised that she doesn't really have a chance with me here.
What do I think of Gavin Langton!? The man has blue blood, he looks like a young God, and yet... there is something of the blackguard about him!
Have you noticed how Gavin Langton squanders his Wealth on pure pleasure? And yet I am accused of being extravagant...
It is no wonder that Cardinal Lucius has devoted his life to the Lord. God alone has the gift of being able to completely overlook outward apperances.
Cardinal Lucius was punished with blindness; what a shame! My angelic countenance would be an inspiration for his pious soul.
Jorgensen's hideous singing is an abomination! Someone should shove his wretched lute down his throat! Ugh! Just look at the lengths to which that boy can bring me!
I generally enjoy receiving gifts from my admirers. But if that Jorgensen dares to recite me any more of his poems, I shall jump from the highest tower!
Willem van der Mark would be an ideal husband: intelligent, thoughtful, affluent... and senile. It's almost a crying shame that I am already married...
Van der Mark has lost his wits! Every young thing he sees who is around the same age as his missing daughter brings tears to his eyes… sentimental old fool…
Giovanni di Mercante is a Trader of repute, single-minded and exceedingly wealthy. Unfortunately his origins are middle-class; a stain that nothing can erase.
Di Mercante may be rich, but he is nothing more than an upstart. How can anyone of such low birth presume to make ME any sort of proposition?!
What could you ever want from that country wench Helena Flores?! If she continues to labour in the fields alongside the peasants, that pretty face will soon be covered in wrinkles anyway!
It is simply scandalous the way Helena Flores brings the local nobility into disrepute! Strangers to the place might think that everyone is as obliging to the lower classes as she is!
Forcas always seems to desire things far out of his reach; a life by my side, for example!
I can't help feeling that Guy Forcas is following me. The mere thought of that toad makes me shudder!
It is rumoured that Hildegard von Lewenstein is over 100 years old! That old witch. She is only trying to delay the inevitable with her ointments and lotions!
Hildegard von Lewenstein is best off hidden away fasting and praying! Nothing could ravage her wrinkled old face any more than it already has been.

Lord Northburgh braucht sich um seine Existenz bestimmt keine Sorgen zu machen. Als Vetter des Kaisers steht ihm vermutlich eine gewaltige jährliche Apanage zu.
In Lord Northburgh steckt mehr, als man auf den ersten Blick erkennen kann. Ist seine Leutseligkeit wirklich echt, oder verfolgt er damit ein bestimmtes Ziel?
Ehrlich gesagt beneide ich Lord Northburgh nicht um seine Position. Als engster Berater des Kaisers steht er doch immer in der Schusslinie!
Täusche ich mich, oder haftet diesem Al Zahir der Dunst von Kamelen an? Ich falle jedes Mal fast in Ohnmacht, wenn sich mir dieser Mann nähert!
Wenn ich die wettergegerbte Haut des Großwesirs sehe, wird mir Angst und Bang. Das heiße Klima im Orient ist für einen vornehmen Teint schlichtweg eine Katastrophe!
Es kann nur vorteilhaft sein, sich mit Al Zahir gut zu stellen. Aber es ist nicht gerade leicht, das Vertrauen des Großwesirs zu erlangen.
Hassan ben Sahid ist ja so charismatisch… Und durch all seine Beutezüge soll er wahnsinnig reich sein! Wäre er kein Gesetzloser, ich könnte auf dumme Gedanken kommen
Dieser Hassan ben Sahid ist ein gewissenloser Mann. Es gibt nur wenige Grenzen, die er nicht zu überschreiten bereit wäre.
Wenn Ihr Hassan ben Sahir begegnet, rechnet mit allem, nur nicht damit, dass er ängstlich oder unterwürfig ist.

MenuMemoryAngry 6007100

Do not provoke me! I am in the mood for acts of utter barbarity!
You shall not survive another encounter with me!
Do not stare at me in such an improper manner!

MenuMemoryPleased 6007200

I know: you were tormented by your longing to see me again!
You are here again?! You couldn't get me out of your mind, could you?!
How delightful to see you again! Did you miss me that much?

MenuNeutral 6007300

I shall allow you to get to know me better!
Well, not quite the acquaintance a Baronessa would normally cultivate...
We are bound to get along splendidly… provided you are from a suitable background, of course.
Oh! I will have to adjust to a society unbefitting my standing..

MenuCspKill 6007500

Today I will have vengeance for the dishonour of the defeat I suffered because of you!
I have not forgotten what you did to me last time! And I shall see to it that you get your just punishment!

MenuPlayerKill 6007600

Must I yet again crush you under my heel like a worm?
You back so soon?! Well! I shall gladly allow you another failure!

SmalltalkSelf 6008200

Do you not also find it monstrous how flagrantly the middle classes make their way up to the pinnacle of power?! It makes one feel downright fearful of ones rightful ancestral birthright!
People say that I was implicated in the deaths of my previous husbands. But that is merely the jealousy of my kinsfolk, who came out empty-handed when his estate was divided up.
Rumours abound throughout the world that my husband has not much longer to live, and how much I have benefited from him. Yet nobody sees how selflessly I attend to his wellbeing day after day.

It is in equal measure your duty and honour to complete this Quest for me...
You there! I have some instructions for you!
I am taking you into my service. And right now!

MosqueBuilt 6005800

It is possible that the Sultan might be coming to attend the opening of your Mosque?! I would so love to meet him.
The abundant Gold on the cupola of your Mosque is quite magical! But it would look even better in my Palace!

Affirmation 6008500

And I never really thought you would do it...
It is amazing, what you are capable of!
I had no idea you had it in you!
What a heavenly idea of yours!
I am quite enthralled by your drive and energy!

SelectShip NEW 6007700

Isn't she a wonderful Ship?! I should name her Constanza…
As a Baroness, I have a right to a Fleet befitting my status!
I assume you could not afford such an exclusive Ship...
A prestigious Ship is important for a lady of rank!
My Coat of arms on the Ship's sails… delightful!
Is she not marvellous? MY Ship!

The great Feast I
This year [QUEST_SENDER] is holding a great Feast in Honour of the Emperor. It is to be memorable and will be seen from afar, as it will be lighted by hundreds of candles.
The great Feast II
The great Feast III
It doesn't matter how sumptuous the Feast, the only thing the men can remember is the women's hips. A group of Belly dancers were to dance around the [QUEST_SENDER] like planets around a sun, but their Ship capsized.
How annoying that not all the Belly dancers could be rescued, for now [QUEST_SENDER] must find replacements. It is rumoured that a group of such women is staying in your Settlement.
The great Feast IV
It is all settled! Everything is perfect, and to keep it that way [QUEST_SENDER] wants to leave nothing to chance. Escort the guests safely to the Feast.
A blaze of glory II
A blaze of glory I
The Smith was a crook who has now run off with the Gold and Pearls! [QUEST_SENDER] swears vengeance. Find the Ship and sink it.
[QUEST_SENDER] found a Metalsmith who promised to create a very special Necklace for her. That will then let her outshine Lord Northburgh's sister at the next Banquet.
A blaze of glory III
The crook has been punished, but that is of little comfort to [QUEST_SENDER]. She has announced that she is waiting for some very special Jewellery. Pearl necklaces shall adorn her neck, hands and even ankles!
The search for the Fountain of youth I
For years [QUEST_SENDER] has been trying to find a way of preserving her beauty for all eternity. She has finally found someone who knows where to find the source of eternal youth. Bring him to her!
The search for the Fountain of youth II
You only have [QUEST_SENDER]'s ability to worm secrets out of people to thank for the old Alchemist agreeing to draw up a Map. Provide everything required for this.
The search for the Fountain of youth III
The old man has fled! No one knows how he managed it, yet one thing is certain; that [QUEST_SENDER] wants him back at any price. Detain the Ship he has secretly boarded!
The search for the Fountain of youth IV
He writes and speaks in riddles, and it drives [QUEST_SENDER] to distraction! He only names his Islands after animals, so detailed Maps are required of every single Island.
The search for the Fountain of youth V
A scandal in the House of Zanchi: a servant has sold copies of the Map to a Trader who has sailed off with several Ships. Stop him!
The search for the Fountain of youth VI
At last! Take the Map and bring the miracle water to [QUEST_SENDER]. Help her find the secret to everlasting beauty, and she will make you rich!
Roundabout routes I
That was the last time [QUEST_SENDER] would recruit Heathens. She soon realised that, apart from their stinking, flea-ridden Mules, they were incapable of controlling anything! Salvage her Goods.
