## Fountain of Youth - A Cure For All Ills

*Cloaked figures await you in the antechamber, Your Greatness. I think they wish to discuss... the Fountain.*

 2nd
While we appreciate the gentlemen's position on security, it strikes me that the waters of the fountain could be distributed - at least locally - without anyone being strictly aware of it.
Damn, they found out. I suppose we can bury the fountain in exchange for certain assurances of the church.
A Cathedral is constructed in the City.
75% of the Citizens in the City converts to the Majority Religion.
Excellent. I'm glad they see our way of thinking at last.

## Mount Fuji - The Lotus Peak

*The mountain is angry today, Your Eminence. It is no doubt related to the man in the atrium, who comes seeking your approval.*

*What shall we do with him?*

This request has touched my heart. Make it so.
 2nd
These are really good. Let's hang them in the Palace - that ought to sort his predicament out.
+2 Culture to Artists in the City.
If they fight for us, I see no reason not to recruit these Ronin.
2 Samurais appear near the City.
This could mean a massive reduction to a loss of life and property damage in the future! Give him the money.
+5 Science to the Strategic Defense System.

## Grand Mesa - Making A Mesa Things

*It is a delegation from the mining company again, Your Gloriousness. I am not sure what they are after, but I imagine it is along the lines of more money.*

Thankfully these muppets don't understand inflation: we're not actually paying them anything extra in real terms.
 2nd
I think they may have actually stumbled upon something really important here: the rocks that make up the Mesa are extremely good at draining water... perhaps we ought to try farming the surrounding area.
While this may require some oversight, the quantities of stone we could have access to are immense!
+2 Culture and +2 Gold to Stone Work in the City.
I've been looking at this brochure, and apparently, when the sun hits that ridge just right, these hills sing.
-10 Production to the Natural Wonder.

## Great Barrier Reef - Wonderful Diversity

*The sailor's guild is concerned about the state of the Great Reef, Your Masterfulness. Their delegation awaits you in the next room.*

We appreciate the job these sailors are asked to perform, see to it they are supported with fresh vessels.
 2nd
An excellent suggestion, the Palace is happy to finance this venture in the hopes that the quality of all our sailors' benefits.
Sounds delicious, make sure some make it to the Palace kitchens. We trust their sale will refund the expedition.
Receive 2 copies of Crab.
This isn't going to be cheap, but we must protect such Wonders at all costs!
+1000 Scientist Points in the City.

## Mountain Kilimanjaro - I Bless The Rains

*The National Park is honored to receive you, wise and powerful Leader. Perhaps we could walk by Kilimanjaro, while we discuss the problems we face here. It is a lovely day for it.*

Kilimanjaro is so important to local peoples, I shall insist on the harshest penalties for those who would disrespect the land.
 2nd
I'm sure the local farmers would be interested in the husbandry of these animals. It would both benefit them, while simultaneously funding the park.
With the help of local laborers, we can provide at least a small degree of access to this resource, hopefully leading to a reduction in the suffering of those animals still alive in the world.
-3 Production in the City.
Such an influx of people must be offset by spending on infrastructure! The government will be happy to supply funds for the park authority's continued stewardship.

## Krakatoa - Superhot Fire

*Word from our man at the Volcano, Your Magnanimousness. I think it's good news this time, though I can't always tell with him.*

*Shall I read it out?*

Basically, he's found out something new? Wonderful, add it to the Library.
 2nd
He's found a solution to that religious dispute? Very good, give him the go ahead.
+3 Faith to the Natural Wonder.
15 Turns of WLTKD begin in the City.
More Sciency things? Good good, forward this to my Science Advisor, I'll let him deal with it.
I'm sorry, I dozed off. You know the drill, forward everything to my Science Advisor.

## Lake Victoria - Dr Civingstone, I Presume

*Your Splendiferousness, my Lord the Science Advisor has returned from his latest visit to Lake Victoria and wishes to meet with you to discuss his findings.*

*How's 3 o'clock?*

Excellent work, as usual, Doctor.
 2nd
How curious. I suppose we can give some additional funding to look into this. I look forward to hearing about how this new knowledge can aid us in the future.
Sounds like a risky move. These are much larger fish than the locals are used to dealing with, I hope the adverse effects are not too severe.
+1 Gold to Fish worked by this City.
+10% Poverty.
Why didn't I think of that?! Thank you, Doctor.
This Hydro Plant produces +5 Production and +5 Gold.

## Mountain Kailash - Pillar Of The Earth

*We have those odd monks who live on Mt Kailash waiting for you in the atrium, Your Wondrousness*.

*They're wandering around in circles, as usual.*

I defer to wiser masters on such issues. Very good.
 2nd
If there is a God atop Mt Kailash, it would be very helpful to have him on our side.
Such a shame that epic magical duels are no longer commonplace.
The time of Gods and Sorcerors is long past. Conquering Mt Kailash is a modern form of worship: of man's mastery of his planet and pursuit of sublime challenge.
-5 Faith to the Natural Wonder.
Prevents the Natural Wonder Event from ever taken.

## Mount Sinai - Keep It Holy

*Its those three chaps from the peninsula again, Your Munificence. Something about a star being seen in the sky over the City. The usual.*

*They await you in the antechamber, planning their route home.*

I am very important, and I am coming to pass. I'd say they're spot on. Thank them and send them back to their... wherever it is they live.
 2nd
Clearly, a Church would be an appropriate way to show respect to this holy place.
If this is the case then perhaps a Mosque would be more appropriate.
Then let the faithful cultivate the valley, to the glory of God!
Receive a copy of Wine.
Prevents the Natural Wonder Event from ever taken.

## Old Faithful - Pretty Cool-dera

*Greetings to Your Majesty. I bring a report from our man stationed at the Geyser. The Yellowstone Caldera has been seeing some unusual activity recently, and he is looking for advice on how to proceed.*

*What shall I write, Your Grace?*

 2nd
The culling of nature is sometimes necessary if our current populations can take the hit, I'd like to see how much this development could benefit the hunting industry locally.
+1 Gold to Camps.
Receive a copy of Fur.
Place restrictions on how much these loggers can chop, we must ensure such a bountiful resource is not damaged, accidentally or otherwise.
+6 Food to the Natural Wonder.
This is excellent news, once again Nature inspires us to higher things!

## Mountain Potosi - Man Eating Mountain

*Pardon me, Great Leader, I bear news from Cerro Potosi. After the last disastrous mine collapse, we have redoubled our efforts.*

*I hope the report does please Your Grace.*

More men for the mountain...
 2nd
Finally, the Silver shall be ours!

## Rock of Gilbatrur - Nec Plus Ultra

*Your Advisors have returned from their visit to Gibraltar, Greatness.*

*Will you take lunch with them in the drawing room?*

The island is ideally placed, long may we hold it.
 2nd
A small sum from the Palace should help us create one of the most profitable hubs in the area.
If you believe this is a worthy investment, we shall arrange to conserve this environment.
Oh really? What an intriguing idea.

## Solomon Mines - All That Glitters

*"The messenger is out of breath, clearly his news is urgent"*

*Your Excellency... I bear a message direct from The Mines... A new chamber has been opened... You are summoned.*

Excellent, the wealth of the Earth is apparently inexhaustible.
 2nd
On the surface, these bizarre troglodytes will be no match for our well-armed militia. But fight these things in their home? It is a suicide mission. The locals will have to be ever vigilant of future incursions.
An Armory is constructed in the City granting an additional +1 Culture.
Either a Well or a Watermill in the City.
Send our mechanics immediately! A huge Well to dredge up Gemstones, how fantastical!
/
"We have broken through to a raging underground river, flecked with gold dust!"
Send our mechanics immediately! An underground Watermill to sift Gold, Good Heavens!
/
Receive a copy of Gold.
The wonders of The Mines are ceaseless! Send a team of excavators to dig up these fossils and have them sent to the Museum for analysis!
+5 Science and +5 Tourism to the Museum in the City.

## Sri Pada - Putting Ones Foot In It

*Glorious Leader, we have a man waiting for you in the audience chamber. He wishes to discuss Sri Pada.*
*What shall I tell him?*

To honor one's ancestors is a noble cause. We shall not refuse our subject.
 2nd
How ignorant of this man! Sri Pada is held sacred by many varied and peaceful causes, I shall not take issue with them for his own vanity.
The food supply of the City is adequate, we support this plan.
Receive a copy of Coffee and Tea.
What would this protection scheme involve, exactly? I am a big fan of butterflies.
+1 Science and +1 Tourism to Zoos.

## Uluru - When Two Tribes Go To War

*The tribes living around Uluru have sent a delegate to treat with us, Your Mightiness*.

*He's in the reception chamber, lecturing the guards on some Lizard Woman.*

 2nd
How disturbing. We should erect a memorial at the local Shrine, that others do not make this same mistake.
+3 Culture to Shrine in the City.
In this matter, your people must trust me to have both our best interests at heart. Conservation and close study is the only way to protect these unique species.
Much time has passed since first we spoke as equals. My people have grown mighty, and yours have not. You will accede to this...
