4. In recent times a new product has taken off amongst the people of Nippur. It's called Moon Sugar and it grows incredibly well in these conditions. It has a very wide variety in terms of use: a high quality replacement for expensive imported sweetener, a base for a remarkably pleasant exotic wine, a regent in various potions and when properly refined, it can make a relatively safe drug akin to poppy tears. During the aftermath of the Great War the Caravan leader, Ra'tima, donated a great deal of it to the commoners to help them with pain relief and nourishment. Will New Babylon allow Moon Sugar and its products to continue being grown and made within Nippur's territory?
5. With the recent string of insubordination, even rising to the level of treason and attempted assassination- Smiling One protect our wonderful King- will New Babylon continue to make a public spectacle out of punishment? Will all crimes have an innately public punishment, or is this style of pomp reserved for the more grievous of charges? Will the king and his lords allow for fair trials?
6. The people have been craving a strong leader since the Great War, but some of them are worried about the seemingly sudden influx of visitors wanting to build up homes only since the Golden Hero's return. They're worried about predatory migration. Can you assure them that infiltrators can and will be found relatively rapidly?
7. The commoners have been getting anxious, ready finally for a chance to relax and heal. I have to ask, is the court planning on hosting any sort of official holidays, feasts or celebrations for Nippurians in the upcoming months? Maybe a wine festival or a dedicated day of thanksgiving to the King?

As you got older there were days of cold surrender
Days of shrugged whatevers folded in with days of shocking splendor
But as time advanced the lovely days were covered up from view
By an advancing melancholy haze that hovered near the dew
Yet there were moments
There were these pure arresting moments when you stepped outside your head
Outside your pain, outside control, outside the bullshit, out of body, out of rage
Outside the need to get it, get it? You will never get it, that’s okay.
