<p>Baasement notes from below:</p>
<h3>Basement</h3>
<h4>Secret State Office</h4>
<h5>Cabal Documents on Table:</h5>
<p>A large amounts of paper, as well as a few maps, and a couple of books.</p>
<p>Many of the papers seem to be reports regarding ship movements, specifically ships belonging to the Marcandrian Royal Armada. The Huntsman, the Marcandrian capital ship currently docked in Alatri. Some of the books here appears to be logs of reported movements.</p>
<p>One book, however, seems to instead log outgoing shipments, smuggled out from the city with the help of Privateer ships. Among the goods the log describes are tons worth of fused Concalian crystals. The destination of these shipments is not listed.</p>
<p>Regarding Ravanelli Documents: It seems people have been looking at quite a few of the records. Some seem to be missing, others seem to have been placed back.</p>
<p>Documents include: Personal correspondences, confidential reports, + more confidential versions of what's found in state office.</p>
<p><strong>Additions with roll:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ship tracking:</strong> The Marcandrian Royal flagship, the Concord, had its last entry about a year ago. They seem to have stopped caring about tracking its position since then.</p>
<p><strong>Privateer Ships listed in log</strong>: At least a dozen different ships, among them Edward's Revenge, whose last smuggled goods out of Alatri a few months ago.</p>
<p><strong>Shipment timeline:</strong> Seems to have started a little over 2 years ago. Last outgoing shipment was about a month ago. There logs seem to indicate there's been some frustration since the nearby shores off Alatri got infested with sea-monsters. A couple of privateer ships are also indicated as having been sunk due to these sea-monsters.</p>
<p><strong>What was shipped off:</strong> In addition to the fused concalian crystals, vast amounts of magic materials and magical items seems to have been among the smuggled goods.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are also a lot of documents that either are or that describe the exchanges between the Ravanelli family and other parties, be that other noble families, other factions, &nbsp;both within Marcandria and abroad. Documents that relates to diplomacy in a sense. The topics are many, though one that often comes up for exchanges within Marcandria are negotiations on promises and favors in return for the other party supporting House Ravanelli's claim to the Marcandrian throne.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Archives</h4>
<p><strong>Ravanelli Documents include</strong>: Personal correspondences, confidential reports, + more confidential versions of what's found in state office.</p>
<h5>Documents In archives</h5>
<p>These archives contain rows upon rows of letters, documents, and books. The archives seem very well organized. The contents seem to include:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Documents on official agreements,</strong> such as treaties, pacts, and trade agreements. These documents outline the terms laid forth by said alliance, trade agreement, and other agreement,</li>
<li><strong>Legal Documents.</strong> These includes official decrees, contracts, and charters. These include land deeds, contracts, and feudal charters between House Ravanelli and their vassals – which detail acerage, taxes, and the duties and responsibilities the vassal agrees to in exchange for being granted land. Laws, regulations, edicts, proclamations. Decrees of pardons/amnesty, and decrees of confiscation/expropriation are also among these.<ol>
<li>Documents detailing the terms for each of House Ravanelli's vassals can be found here – the terms laid forth for them in terms of taxes, duties, responsibilities, etc, are not always equal.</li>
<li>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Financial Records.</strong> Records detailing House Ravanelli's finances, including accounts, ledgers, budgets, and financial transactions. Some documents also detail inventories of assets, properties, and resources owned by the family.<ol>
<li>Ravanelli family seems to historically having been quite wealthy.</li>
<li>There seems to have been a sharp increase in expenditures related to mercenaries, espionage, bribes, etc, starting early 1350. The family seems to currently be running a massive deficit, tapping into the funds they've stockpiled and selling off assets in order to finance this.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Correspondences and Communications</strong>: These are records of letters, messages, and other forms of communication exchanged between the ducal family and various parties, including other noble houses, government officials, diplomats, and influential individuals.</li>
<li><strong>Espionage Reports and Intelligence</strong>: Reports compiled by spies, agents, or intelligence operatives employed by the ducal house. These reports may contain information on rival houses, political intrigue, military movements, economic activities, and other matters of strategic interest.</li>
<li><strong>Strategic Plans and Policies</strong>: Documents outlining long-term strategies, policies, and objectives of the ducal family, including plans for governance, defense, expansion, and diplomacy.</li>
<li><strong>Personal Journals and Diaries</strong>: Private writings of family members, such as personal journals, diaries, and memoirs, providing insights into their thoughts, experiences, and personal lives.</li>
<li><strong>Historical Records and Archives</strong>: Documents of historical significance to the ducal family, such as records of past events, achievements, and milestones in the family's history.</li>
<li><strong>Genealogical Records.</strong> Records documenting the family lineage, ancestry, and genealogy of House Ravanelli, including pedigrees, family trees, birth certificates, and marriage records.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Foundry Note:</strong></p>
<p>These archives contain rows upon rows of letters, documents, and books. The archives seem very well organized. The contents seem to include:</p>
<p>documents on official agreements, like treaties and trade agreements;</p>
<p>legal documents, including degrees, contracts, charters, and land deeds.</p>
<p>financial records, including ledgers and logs of financial transactions going back centuries</p>
<p>correspondences and communications, including meeting transcripts, and private letters (both copies of those sent, and those received)</p>
<p>intelligence and espionage reports, containing information on other noble houses, factions, and influential individuals; as well as detailing military movements, economic activities, and other matters of strategic interest</p>
<p>strategic plans and policies, including documents that outline long-term strategies, policies, and objectives of the family in matters of governance, defense, expansion, and diplomacy</p>
<p>personal journals and diaries, belonging to both current and former members of the family</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In other words: just about every kind of document that the Ravanelli family would deem valuable to keep.</p>
<p>Judging from how the dust here, several of the records kept seems to have been disturbed in the not so distant past. Some of the records disturbed seem to have been placed back, while others appear to still be missing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Additions with roll:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Recent strategic plans:<ul>
<li>They appear to be gathering support to try get Mariana Ravanelli to ascend to the currently-empty Marcandrian throne. They seem to be in competition with the ducal houses of de Vesci and Grimani, with the documents seeming to convey that relations between the three houses are quite sour at the moment. Three Casodonian houses are also listed as vying for the Casodonian ducal seat. Their plans for the two remaining ducal houses – house Bologni and house Moretti – seem to involve trying to convince them into backing House Ravanelli by the time they're done dealing with the current turmoil in their respective duchies (in part also to prevent more contenders).</li>
<li>Most of House Ravanelli's family members thus seem to have been away from Alatri for most of the past couple of years in order to garner support, with Mariana Ravanelli herself staying in Vessina.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Legal documents<ul>
<li>Includes a decree that forbids burials in Alatri – all burials must happen outside the city's perimeter. An accompanying document, that seem to be addressed to the writer's descendants, is very insistent that this decree must not be reversed so long as the apparent curse beneath the city remains.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Financial records<ul>
<li>House Ravanelli seem to be tapping heavily into their wealth, starting Winter 1349 – when the royal family was assassinated. This money has been used to, amongst others, bribes, military equipment, and the hiring of mercenaries.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Correspondences and communications<ul>
<li>Vast array of recipients, on a vast array of issues. A lot of them recently seem to be in regards to garnering support for House Ravanelli's claim to the Marcandrian throne. Other noble families, and members from factions such as the Fulcrum, Wayfarer's Union, Meranzeum, Joybringers, Greenwardens, and so on.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Intelligence and espionage<ul>
<li>House Ravanelli seems well aware of Elena “the Grin”, and are keeping track of her. The records seem to indicate that House Ravanelli and Elena the Grin has an informal agreement, where Elena keeps a leash on the other criminals in Alatri, and make sure they don't do anything stupid that would upset the citizenry, in return for House Ravanelli <i>mostly</i> looking the other way.<ul>
<li>House Ravanelli's view: “There will always be a kingpin, beheading one will only open the path for another, so let's make a not-so-bad option that we can work with holds the position of kingpin.”</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>personal journals and correspondences<ul>
<li>Old journals and correspondences belonging to duchess Fioretta Ravanelli seem to indicate that her, Euphemia Moretti, and someone called Elrithia Renfallan have been rather close friends for decades.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>intelligence and espionage<ul>
<li>Seem to have been quite an effort into figuring out who was behind the royal family's assassination, with little luck. They seem concerned that one – or more – of the other houses vying for the Marcandrian throne could have been involved, and are thus also concerned about their and their subjects' future should someone involved in said assassination ascend to the Marcandrian throne.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Private Studies</h4>
<p>For all of them:</p>
<p>A simple study with a large finely ornate writing desk, with 3 drawers on each side. A simple bookcase covers the southern wall.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Notes on investigations etc:</p>
<ul>
<li>Drawers have ink, pen, paper, and what appears to a set of cups with a small wine decanter.</li>
<li>Bookcases: Mix of historical records, mixed with personal correspondences.<ul>
<li>People whose been using them, i.e. who has personal correspondences: Mariana Ravanelli, Raffel Ravanelli, Alvis Ravanelli, Fioretta Ravanelli</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>South-western one:</strong></p>
<p>Personal Correspondences belonging to Fioretta Ravanelli.</p>
<p>The top drawer on each side of the writing desk has what appears to be tiny buttons as part of their design – pressing these two simultaneously will cause the southern wall to pop out a little.</p>
<p>if they investigate the walls, they may also find out that the southern one is thinner than the others - so they can potentially hack their way through.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Laboratory</h4>
<p>Are 2x healing potions and 1x greater healing potion among the components in the cabinet.</p>
