Rags to Riches

 * In chapter one we join a group of homeless in a war-torn land. Self designated as The Lord we find and repair a stray Worker's Hut in the midst of the wilderness. While that's going on the Lord locates a deer to feed his people.
 * We then designate some trees to fell and locate an abandoned manor that can be renovated into our castle, though at this stage it looks more like a nice country homestead.
 * We then lay out a road that passes by an abandoned temple. It's quickly discovered that it's a Dragon temple and if we develop the "Power of Faith" we may actually find and control a Dragon.
 * We're then asked to build a farm so that we may have an on-going supply of food.
 * Next, we locate a bubbling pool and build a Distillery. Seems this is the land of beer springs!
 * Now, with food and ale abundant, it's time to build a Tavern where the people can be fed and feted, raising their spirits.
 * Our new country inn attracts additional wanderers and they must be sheltered so we build more housing
 * As our new holding develops, it's soon time to upgrade our modest manor into something more fitting. We're on our way to a real castle.
 * As our new castle takes shape, the faith of our growing population reaches the point where we're gifted with a real dragon egg which we may now hatch.

Chapter Two:Dragon Rises

 * With our new holding growing, we can begin to work on defense. Our first step, an Archery Range with everything necessary for training a few basic bowmen.
 * Whilst training our first cadre of bowmen, our scholarly types find a Dragonite Horn, a weapon of ancient origin.
 * Using it will summon random unaligned marauders which suggests that we build some protective walls to surround our steading.
 * At least random marauders bring gold and that brings additional wanderers. Time for a second worker's hut.
 * With sufficient workers it's now possible to build a charcoal factory.
 * Have our now larger workforce Upgrade a few houses, and upgrade the Tavern and soon it will be time to upgrade our castle once again.
