Low karma events [edit]

Minister Resigns

[Name of the administrative advisor] has publicly condemned the policies of [Root.Monarch.GetName] and [Root.Heir.GetHerHis] government. Our Minister will no longer have anything to do with us and reminds us that a [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] that cannot uphold the rightful laws will attract nothing but liars and informers to [Root.Heir.GetHerHis] government.

[Root.GetName] Monasteries deteriorating

Due to a combination of lacking monastic discipline and a faltering economy many of the great monasteries of [Root.GetName] have seen their membership dwindling over the last few years. A concerned Bhikkhu has approached the [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle] with a warning that unless something is done soon the dire situation may lead to the last few monks abandoning their vows or seeking to join monasteries elsewhere, leaving [Root.GetName] impoverished both spiritually and economically. There are however many local landowners more than ready to infringe on the land an empty monastery would leave behind. As the [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle] is meant to protect Monastic life in [Root.Owner.GetName] it will be clear to many observers that the responsibility for whatever happens will rest on [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetHerHis] shoulders.

Monastic Vows Broken

The religious discipline of the monks of [Root.GetName] is faltering. As a result of lacking funds, monopolization of higher monastic positions by a small group of the aristocracy and a [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle] unable to protect the faithful in the way expected of a true Buddhist ruler more and more monks seem to be breaking their vows to abandon monastic life, or in some cases maintaining it while not honoring its principles. A particularly glaring case of a monk breaking his vows and inciting others do to the same has recently come to our attention and many will likely read a great deal into the way we choose to deal with this. While a good ruler should always show mercy and gentleness it is also the duty of any ruler to uphold the discipline of the monasteries, with force if needed.

Monastic Orders Support Pretender

As it is the monarch's duty to protect the monastic institutions it is those institutions duty to protect the country against bad ruelrs. Due to what they feel is lacking attentiveness to the duties of a monarch and inability and disinterest in upholding and protecting the common good in general and the monastic organizations of our country in particular some of the more powerful monasteries have openly come out in support of a distant relative to our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle].

Trigger conditions The country:	Mean time to happen 500 months Modifiers: Karma is: Lower than -75: ×0.8 Lower than -80: ×0.6
This is an outrage! Pretender rebels (size 1) rise in revolt in a random non-capital province.

High karma events [edit]

id

Precedent of [Root.Monarch.GetName]

A recent ruling by [Root.Monarch.GetName] was considered so just and well argued that it has been used as an example to strive for in similar cases in a recently created addendum to a collection of the Pali laws of [Root.GetName]. As [Root.Monarch.GetName] has become known for [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] stringent and constant to adhere to the virtues of the Rajadhamma this is not the first time [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] rule has been put forward as a good example.

id

A White Elephant

A white elephant has been captured in the hinterlands of [From.GetName] and [From.Monarch.GetName] has wisely interpreted this as a sign of the productive alliance of our two peoples. This is the greatest gift a ruler could possibly bestow upon us and will likely be regarded very well by our population. It will however also be quite costly to take care of this rare beast even though we could hardly refuse to do so.

---

Trigger conditions None	Is triggered only by the '"It would make an excellent gift!" option in the White Elephant Captured event.
Let us take good care of it. The country: Sell it. The country: Originator country: Gets the opinion modifier "Sold Gifted White Elephant" ( −50 Opinion / +1 Yearly decay) toward this country

id

Monasteries of [Root.GetName]

The wise and productive policies of [Root.Monarch.GetName] in regards to the monasteries of the realm have always been well considered and benevolent. No Monastery is allowed to go poor yet the discipline and strength of the institutions themselves have not been allowed to deteriorate. As a result the monasteries of [Root.GetName] are blooming and our state has become known everywhere as an example to follow.

Trigger conditions The province: Province owner:	Mean time to happen 400 months (scaled to number of owner's provinces) Modifiers: Karma is: Higher than +75: ×0.9 Higher than +80: ×0.8

Events for any karma [edit]

The Horrors of War

Not all men are cut out to lead a life of war and it seems the conflict our country is currently in has made some of them realize it. The number of deserters seeking to hide behind the walls of the monasteries is not big but they set a dangerous example. As a [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] it is however our duty to protect the monasteries and while we have repeatedly warned them not to accept men like these it seems some still do.

'Wedge-Throw' [edit]

id

'Wedge-Throw'

The last seasons have not been very kind to the [Root.GetName] region and one of the duties of a [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle] is to take care of the poor. A delegation of farmers has now approached [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetName] asking to be exempt from taxes and to receive a 3-year loan so that they are able to take care of their families while they work to get back on their feet.

---

---

Trigger conditions The province: Province owner:	Mean time to happen 360 months (scaled to number of owner's provinces)

'Human Sacrifice'

[Root.GetName] is in dire need of better infrastructure. The local monasteries are doing what they can, as are the local aristocrats, but if the area is to prosper the state will have to step in. Plans to improve the situation require extra workers to join in the project from the countryside but all farmers are busy with the harvest. As ruler we can order them to lay down work to participate in construction projects for the common good but in return they will expect to be paid the customary 'Human Sacrifice' or the equivalent of the amount of rice that they could have grown during the same time.

---

---

Trigger conditions The province: Province owner:	Mean time to happen 360 months (scaled to number of owner's provinces)

id

Bountiful Harvest

This harvest has been unusually bountiful and [Root.Monarch.GetName] could well make use of this unexpected wealth to fund planned religious works. An extra tax has been suggested to transfer the extra grain from the farmers to the state. However traditional Buddhist law dictates that he cannot take more than 10%, the 'Hay Sacrifice', of that which has been harvested and some of our ministers seem uneasy with breaking this rule.

---

---

Trigger conditions The country:	Mean time to happen 360 months
Levy the tax. The country: Let us not steal the fruits of their labor. The country: Gains 10 karma

id

Dana

It is at times such as these, when our country is characterized by relative tranquility that we are reminded to look at those who are less fortunate. The recent crop yields have been neither failures nor a great success and as a result most have food and the state have ample grain supplies. There are however still some unfortunate who haven't got enough food to feed themselves.

---

---

Trigger conditions The country: Uses the karma religion mechanic Is not in a regency Has at least 1 stability Is not at war Has no rebels Does not have any of the following country modifiers: "Grain for the Poor" "Grain Reserves"	Mean time to happen 400 months
Let us distribute our grain to the poor! The country: Keep it in reserve. The country:

id

Vicious Words?

The local aristocracy in [Root.GetName] seems to have been growing quite powerful over the last few years. While we retain nominal control over the area much of the real power lies with the local landowners who have been known to grow their domains at the expense of monastery land. This practice, along with other excesses may well be used against them but in order to achieve the full effect we would probably need to embellish the truth a little. There are those who would be willing to do just that for us in exchange for nice positions in our administration afterwards.

---

---

Trigger conditions The province: Province owner:	Mean time to happen 360 months (scaled to number of owner's provinces)
Let us find another way. Province owner: The end justifies the means. Province owner: Loses 10 karma The province: Loses 20% local autonomy

id

Pariccaga

The willingness of [Root.Monarch.GetName] to risk life and limb in the protection of [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] people is considered both unusual and worthy of respect. Leading monastic figures have voiced their support for [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] and some even liken [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] to an ideal ruler for this self sacrifice.

---

---

Trigger conditions The country: Uses the karma religion mechanic Is not in a regency Ruler is a general and rules an army Does not have the pariccaga_flag ruler flag Is in a defensive war against any known country	Mean time to happen 400 months
Ok. The country: Gains 10 karma Set the pariccaga_flag ruler flag

id

Tapa

Recently [Root.Monarch.GetName] have come under attack by those who feel his rule has been one of extravagance and conspicuous consumption. Some of our ministers however insist that a certain amount of luxury is necessary for a ruler, especially when dealing with foreign monarchs and their emissaries.

---

---

Trigger conditions The country: Follows Theravada religion Is not in a regency Does not have the had_tapa ruler flag	Mean time to happen 360 months
Let us do away with worldly things! The country: We cannot stoop to the level of peasants... The country:

Political Rival Weakened [edit]

id

Political Rival Weakened

Even a great ruler has some detractors. A particularly successful and outspoken critic of [Root.Monarch.GetName] has lately gotten himself into a quite hard situation. His friends have left him and high debts make it very hard for him to support his family. While a resourceful person may yet recover from this situation we might also use this opportunity to get rid of this man once and for all.

Old Rival Recovers

Our willingness to help a rival in need has converted him from a detractor to a firm supporter. With his powerbase rebuilt he is now eager to serve [Root.Monarch.GetName] and apart from his political capital he offers his own services as a minister of our government.

---

---

Trigger conditions The country: Uses the karma religion mechanic Has the helped_rival ruler flag for at least 2 years	Mean time to happen 60 months Note: this outcome will trigger 40% of times each Political Rival Weakened event happens.
Great! The country:

id

Old Rival Recovers

Our willingness to help a rival in need may have been a righteous act but now that he has recovered he is as critical as ever of our power. What transpired has perhaps weakened the basis of his position slightly but he is still intent to use all his power to sabotage the government of [Root.GetName].

---

---

Trigger conditions The country: Uses the karma religion mechanic Has the helped_rival ruler flag for at least 2 years	Mean time to happen 40 months Note: this outcome will trigger 60% of times each Political Rival Weakened event happens.

Plight of [Root.GetName]

A representative of the farmers of [Root.GetName] arrived in [Root.Owner.Capital.GetCapitalName] today, imploring [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetName] to help expand and maintain the irrigation system of the province. The local population is growing and claiming new land at a speed that the current infrastructure does not support. The representative also asks that the state supply food to those who need it in the meantime.
While this project would have few downsides besides the cost there are currently no plans to improve this particular region and doing so in reasonable time would likely be quite expensive.

---

---

Trigger conditions The province: Has less than 24 development Does not have any of following province modifiers: "Improving Infrastructure" "Hampered Growth" Province owner: Uses the karma religion mechanic Is not in a regency	Mean time to happen 360 months (scaled to number of owner's provinces)

Inheritance

A conflict has arisen in one of the more influential monasteries of [Root.GetName] after the death of a monk. The monk in question came from a very influential lay family and during his time in robes had managed to acquire a rich set of valuable manuscripts and an assortment of Buddha images and other things. While monks cannot own property as such the law still allows for a dedicated disciple to inherit these things and be considered as a son to the monk. In this case a young disciple has taken care of the monk as he lay at his end. There are however others interested, the monastery itself has argued that they should get the inheritance and would likely be very thankful for support in this matter. The lay family of the monk have also approached [Root.Monarch.GetName] hoping to inherit not only the manuscripts and images but also some of the land they have donated to the monastery while their family member was part of it.

Trigger conditions The country:	Mean time to happen 600 months
Rule in favor of the disciple. The country: Rule in favor of the Monastery. The country: Support the lay family of the monk. The country:

Powerful Monastery in [Root.GetName]

The monastaries of [Root.GetName] harbor some of the oldest and finest lineages in [Root.Owner.Country.GetName] and have therefore always been influential. They have however over the years come to grow more and more powerful and have also come to cultivate a disturbingly close relationship to other powers in the region. It is hard by now to find any person of influence in one of the monastaries that do not come from one of the richer noble families in the region. Monastic discipline is important but attacking a powerful Monastery as entrenched as this is not done lightly, a tempting option is to simply ally with the monks and let them lend their power to ours.

Bandit Leader [edit]

id

Banditry in [Root.GetName]

Bandits have been harassing the province of [Root.GetName] for quite a while now, roads are unsafe and traders have been avoiding the area and taking alternate routes to get past. As local authority isn't as strong in this area as in some other parts of our Empire the brigands have been able to continue unchecked for now. This has become a matter of some concern even outside of the area as the leader of the band has been gaining a reputation as a leader of resistance against central power in general.
Local authorities have reached out to the [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle] for help to deal with the problem before it spreads.

Trigger conditions The province: Province owner:	Mean time to happen 400 months (scaled to number of owner's provinces) Modifiers: Local autonomy is at least 50% : ×0.6

Bandit leader caught in [Root.GetName]

The campaign in [Root.GetName] to catch the leader of the bandits in the area has finally proved successful. During the hunt for him his popularity has only increased however and it is clear this is a very dangerous man to be alive. The commander of the troops that caught the man recommends that we kill him now and not risk that he may one day incite those who idealize him to revolt against us. One of our ministers however wishes to remind [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetName] that to save a life is better than building a seven level pagoda.

Bandit Leader Returns

The man we once banished for banditry in one of our provinces seems to have returned to our country, ready to once again make life hard for our local subjects. There is still a lingering popularity in some parts of the country and it is feared he may make good use of this to avoid the authorities once more.
By all accounts however he is an older and weaker man now and while the situation is still problematic it seems clear he cannot go on for long this time.

The Myth Lives on

The reputation of the bandit leader we had executed a few years ago has refused to die with him. While his band of brigands can no longer terrorize traders and endanger the integrity of our roads the myth of the bandit leader has grown out of all proportion. Eventually his fate will surely be one of many old stories told to young kids with little meaning, right now however it is a story told to ridicule [Root.Monarch.GetName] and [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] rule.

Foreign Emissary Insults [Root.Monarch.GetName]

The emissary of one of our neighboring countries has given grave affront to the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] by refusing to participate in a ceremony he was invited to attend. [Root.Monarch.GetName] is furious and while there can be some doubt as to if the slight was deliberate or not the public clearly sees it as such.
If we do not publicly condemn the ambassador we risk losing face, the council of ministers however urge caution.

The [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle] accused of favoritism

It is with great pleasure that [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetName] have watched some of [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetHerHis] childhood friends climb the state hierarchy but now this has made us the target of accusations of favoritism. The local governor of [Root.GetName] has been singled out by this accusations and the situation would undoubtedly be defused by replacing him no matter how competent he has been on that post.

The Laws of [Root.GetName]

Pali law is generally practiced in one form or another in many Buddhist countries and especially among the Theravada ones. While these laws are not collected and written down by the states themselves they do vary from country to country and at times a collection will have to be updated or renewed. A wise monk has undertaken such a collection recently in [Root.GetName] and has produced an updated version of one of the most commonly used law collections in our country.
As the collection itself builds upon actual cases it can however be seen as quite an up to date commentary on the rulings of [Root.Monarch.GetName].

Lawyers at odds

Lawyers placing bets on the outcome of a legal dispute is nothing uncommon in our lands and neither is a certain degree of friendly rivalry among the professionals in a courtroom. Once such rivalry turns into actual anger and passion then the integrity of our laws is at stake.
It appears two lawyers, each representing powerful patrons, one a rich monastery and the other an aristocrat family of some influence, have gotten caught up in the moment and turned a recent legal conflict about a sizable estate into a heated row. This is very unfortunate and it now falls upon [Root.Monarch.GetName] to attempt to salvage the face of both sides in a fair way without compromising the integrity of our courts.

Lama events [edit]

id

A useful alliance?

Many ages ago Mongol rulers adopted the Buddhist religion and sought to spread it among their people. Over the years however many have returned to the old ways of the Shamans. [Root.Monarch.GetName] has always been fascinated by the legacy of the likes of Kublai Khan and the empires they once created in the name of that religion. As word reach us of a dynamic and growing Tibetan monastic order it was therefore clear to [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] that this needed to be investigated.
The emissary of the Lama now stands before us and has explained that the Lama indeed expects that [Root.Monarch.GetName] is a reincarnation of Kublai Khan. He is also prepared to support our rule if we allow him to spread his sect in all the lands we control.

Messenger Returns from Tibet

Our Messenger from Tibet has returned with news of a powerful religious leader who has become interested in the cause of [Root.Monarch.GetName] and his dynasty. If he is to come to [Root.Capital.GetCapitalName] however we must be able to do far more than just guarantee his safety. For the Lama to tie his destiny with ours we must swear that he and his future incarnations will be given the proper respect and influence in our realm and that we will create a great Monastery for him and his disciples. If we cannot make these guarantees we will have to content ourselves with receiving a delegation of monks eager to found a new Monastery in our lands.

id

Shamanic Figures

Conversion from a Shamanist country to a Buddhist one does not happen overnight and a great deal of people within our borders still worship in the old ways. Eager to spread his religion however the foremost Lama in our country have condemned the common Shamanic figures that many common people still honor and demanded that they all be destroyed.

Legitimacy of Incarnation Questioned

The intricacies of rebirth can sometimes be lost on the simpler minds. Even though his order insists that their new Lama is a reincarnation of their old leader some people in the countryside have been very hesitant to accept this fact. As they do not recognize him they fear they have been duped and on a few occasions tensions have risen to the point of armed conflict.

Sri Lanka [edit]

id

Sri Lanka

The Island of Lanka, recently conquered by our troops, is full of rich Buddhist monasteries and society seems to be practically run by the monks within them. As [Root.Monarch.GetName] has finally gotten to visit them he stands in awe before the economic and cultural wealth of the monastic orders.

Religious Guidance [edit]

Religious Guidance

The island of Lanka has been the source of a strong Theravada Buddhist tradition for centuries. It is in many ways a model society for a Theravada state and its thriving Monastic communities are the envy of the Buddhist world.
While our own state also follows the Theravada way our laws and traditions are a patchwork of local traditions, ideas from competing Buddhist schools and we lack the strong Monastic infrastructure of the island. Our ministers suggest that in order to remedy this we should send an embassy to Sri Lanka and ask that they send us monks to carry their Theravada traditions to our country.

An Embassy from [From.GetName]

Thriving Monastic communities, holy sacred relics as well as a long tradition of how to handle the coexistence of monastic and regal power make us the envy of many Theravada rulers. It is therefore no suprise that the [From.Monarch.GetTitle] of [From.GetName] should aspire to imitate our greatness. The [From.GetAdjective] embassy that arrived today asks that we allow a number of their monks to travel to our country and receive ordination here in order to bring our traditions to [From.GetName].

[From.GetAdjective] Answer (positive)

The [From.Monarch.GetTitle] of [From.GetName] has allowed 40 monks to receive ordination in [From.Monarch.GetHerHis] country. He has also sent a group of monks directly from his lands to ours to ensure that the Theravada traditions are transfered in a sensible way.
