[1.29] The Eve of a New Nation
Kael still thinks others are being far too optimistic about this place, and feels the need to warn them of this. "I hate to rain on everyone's parade again, but what you have here is not a kingdom or a barony. For that you would need farms, roads, ports, villages, towns, cities, and most importantly, people. And this place is woefully short of all of those. Seriously, your owlbear-to-farmer ratio is all wrong. No, what you may have here, one day, just maybe, is a colony of whoever ends up financing and providing colonists for it, whether that is Restov or Brevoy. And only with their blessing do you have any hope at all of ending up in charge of this place."

And to be frank, Brevoy is too close to a civil war as it is, without throwing more fuel to the fire in this way."
Wait, is Cara halfling or gnome?
