The orc was not used to such raw sexual energy or magic. The queen was perhaps one of the few naturally magical things that wasn't some wild beast or ancient place of power and it infused her in certain aspects. A normal woman would be an ecstatic broken mess beneath a male such as himself and here he was her toy. Not that he minded. She'd baited her trap and sprung it expertly. The lewd whet smacks and<em>pak</em>,<em>pak</em>,<em>pak</em>of their humping became a constant noise as he rose at some point and took her back to her bed, still stuck within her, holding that plush but firm backside in his hands.Stopping only to throw himself against a wall in another wild orgasm.<br/><br/>At some point the queen and her new paramour would drift off, the bull orc forgetting he'd been trying to regain the upper hand by wildly humping her sex from behind but falling feebly into her own personal plaything and staying with her a few days more before having to return to his people to spread the news Still, the handmaidens diligently worked to keep all traces of the tryst from public eye (though everyone new what had transpired, but let their beloved queen have her fun; she was quickly becoming a goddess incarnate and who were they to say otherwise).<br/><br/>With her control over the most powerful or orc tribes cemented and her choices made, things move along in her kingdom. Growing steadily and rapidly a few months passed. The library and artifact study did not have the magical returns that the queen might have hoped and adventurers wild mildly profitable were becoming more of a dead end, still, she was young and there was more than enough time to perhaps try and turn her gaze inward to her own magic. The trading post in the south quickly grew into a trading up and small town, female orcs of the smith caste flooded into the capital to ply native Korsovans with orish made weapons, jewelry, and other finery. Orcish women also liked the growing lot of women in Korsova and often applied for more than simple work permits to keep a few men pounding their large green asses. Who was Ileosa to complain? She had an orc warchief who visited her almost every month.<br/><br/>The personal life of the queen was doing fantastic, other than her stalled out magical pursuits.<br/><br/><strong>Holy Queen Ileosa Luxora I's stats</strong><br/><br/>Influence: 155% (Some is lost to maintain her seductive hold over her orc paramour and his alliance, but it's a small net gain because of her new status as truly divine.)<br/>Mana: 110% (Ready access to sex on demand keeps a god-queen lively.)<br/>Power: 105% (The waning effectiveness of the raids is a big hit, but the orc-made weapons for her strong and hadsome army of seasoned fighters is still a positive making sure she has the total loyalty of her army.)<br/>Gold: 80% (Things are generally good some lost to rapid expansion, no one seems worried yet<br/>Food: 100% (A great harvest and secure border put farmers at ease, as well as new luxuries meaning the citizens are currently happy. A small bonus from their growing worship.)<br/><br/>Alignment: Neutral (No real change)<br/><br/>Location: Luxora (Capital of the Korsova Holy Queendom)<br/>---<br/><br/>Queen Luxora would sit her throne this morning greeted by the handsome battle-scarred visage of Marcus Pellus. "Your holiness," he said, "the raids have borne all the fruit they will, you can push on if you desire, but gains will be perhaps not worth the continued effort and cost. I suggest you choose some other avenue, worshipful one.<br/><br/>Again formed ideas came into Luxora's head as everyone seemed to wait with unearthly patience as their goddess made her choice. It was nearing the end of her first year of rule and the game had a system where since she could technically die of old age several dozen turns were crammed into a year. It was more RPG-like in that way. It was more about playing a ruler as a person instead of an entity.<br/><br/>A.) Raise more armies to project power and strength.<br/>B.) Secure the new outposts and town the rapid expansion has brought into her growing empire.<br/>C.) Help the orc allies along.<br/>D.) Train them hard into a truly professional fighting force and establish a code of military conduct.<br/><br/>Once that choice was made Marcus approached the throne and knelt at her feet, he a proud returning war hero, "I a humble man ask the boon of your love and long for the touch of a woman..." His reply was humble but his voice held desire to be invited into Luxora's opulent bed chambers as a hero who should be lavished as such, but it was as always up to the queen what men got for their service. Perhaps a pick of her handmaidens (which now included a she-orc of great beauty for her kind) would suffice.<br/><br/>Next was the cultural minister, who Ileosa learned was named Rika. Not a match for the young queen's beauty but still a prime example of the true glory of Korsovan women. "Mistress," she said, "your policies are now in our heart. You are a goddess and your divine right grows with each moment. Men are also easily falling under the sway of women, nothing is barred from them, but women take the top rungs of our society the easiest. Worship of the female form is seen as common practice with male worship as part of that ritual."<br/><br/>It would all seem a little cut and dry, but sometimes a game had to just get the info across, "It is your command we follow and we would like to know your visions for our culture, your divine sight is great: What aspect of the divine are you?" She could pick anything from farming to an omnipotent messiah goddess of all gods.<br/><br/>"What is the holiest thing of all that isn't worship of you?"<br/><br/>"Finally," the culture minister said, "I need Minister Al'sad's help but we propose we move the culture to a harem culture. With your permission we would like funds to begin construction of harem temples at every city so that men may know their place in your worship structure and serve women as you intend. If you did so this would be considered a unique cultural wonder. Of course, you could make both men and women more equal, but there would be some protest if women were suddenly expected to be harem workers."<br/><br/>She provided scroll with the Wonder Project plans to the queen, her eyes lingering more on Ilseosa's overbearing breasts<br/><br/>Wonder: The Great Harem Temples of Korsova<br/>Cost: Much gold, moderate food, some power<br/>Build time: A few years<br/><br/>Options: Men and women slaves to the queen (Slightly evil)<br/>Men slaves to women and the queen<br/>Women slaves to men and the queen<br/><br/>Benefits: Increases in gold, power, and food, each city will eventually build its own harem temple. Places where a queen or any of the chosen gender can stay in luxury and worship.<br/>Gives the empire the "Sanctified Sex Trade" policy which helps generate gold and food as long as the ruler is seen as the god-queen (new heirs must past a test to be deified). Also formalizes prostitution removing all negative effects and stigma, but increasing the cost moderately (to meet kingdom standards). Though this is offset by obvious taxable incomes "gifts" to the queen.<br/><br/>The pair waited for their queen to tick off which boxes she'd like to bring to bear on her kingdom. Never did she have to indulge any of these things, even the wonder. Rika smiled, "I will see it done, and... mistress... don't let your bed grow cold..." an obvious flirt again, but Rika cast eyes to the beautiful cadre of ministers around her before stepping back into line.<br/><br/>Ibn Al'sad remained and offered a quick rundown of other things that her money and food could go to to improve the kingdom:<br/><br/>A.) A road network to increase the trade.<br/>B.) A renovation to the kingdom to show her new wealth and power.<br/>C.) The hiring of the services of a beautiful wild witch to be a new handmaiden and offer magical tutoring (Expensive in gold or influence)<br/>D.) Something personal.<br/><br/>The petitions done for the day, the court became lively as worshipers filed in to seek blessing from the queen, but her days were mostly open. The deal with the orcs had truly secured her borders allowing Korsovan culture to flourish quickly. There was however one interesting thing of note. Soon it would grow only the more powerful. While it's army was nothing to be disregarded it was quickly becoming a river-borne economic powerhouse that saw its coffers only growing in the future. And Luxora was at the top of it all. There was always time for personal pursuits
