Chapter 10

Tailors hadn't been the only ones to have their trade affected by the differences in morality between the two worlds. Butchers and chandlers now could not get raw materials from as wide a variety of animals, chandlers would need to switch from tallow to beeswax whilst butchers had to make sure the animals they took the meat from were comfortable and would respawn, which both cows and sheep agreed to but not the goats they'd also previously slaughtered.

Farmers were discovering there practice with pitchforks was giving them the Spears Skill whilst those who made candlesticks had a crafting skill relating to the material they were made from. Farriers often had veterinary skills, the best being more veterinarian than mere fitters of horseshoes.

Wolfe had been improving his glassblowing and Coop its barrel making, both had reached the journeyman level of triple Yellow whilst their respective mentors had gained the teaching skill and improved to double Violet Yellow with the craft skills they had been teaching.

Imuel was not the only one with psychological issues that prevented them from spawning in the world, there was a kleptomaniac whose condition was beyond what dungeons were intended to solve and a narcissist with seventeen counts of impersonating a member of the military or stealing valour outstanding. Imuel never encountered either of the others, it was more than not seeing them as they didn't have physical bodies, he never communicated with them either.

Imuel was getting better but it had been less than three months since his treatment started. He had discovered the concept of miniature painting and was using it as a form of art therapy with wooden figures provided by Sarim, the god of chance and games who had been assisting him. Once painted they could be used for war games, he had started preparing a wizard Harvey figure even though there was not yet a battle featuring one who cast spells by the method Harvey used before.

Imuel was preparing the blue paint he'd chosen to match the robes being worn in the images of Harvey that Sarim had provided. Mixing the paints and applying them were skills that Imuel was gaining despite still not having a body of his own yet. Once it was completed he would be able to use it in a game against Sarim.

Thalia managed to purge the phase of nightmares by creating an undead diplomatic dungeon on one of the other worlds in the system with Asvar.

Sarah was also updating the most basic level of the harbour dungeon, getting it ready as a suitable challenge for someone who had literally brought nothing with them.

The gods and cores could use thoughts from Terra, the world that England was part of, up until its date November 30th 2019 but everything more advanced than the black powder weapons and other equipment the human residents had before the transmigration was taboo to use.

Homelessness was not an issue across the world, sure there were people who had experienced it but as part of the fact Retowner was divinely mandated they had a constitution Astria had written which meant its cities needed to have housing for 175% of the population.

Of course this was not the only thing the document provided for, the statement about slavery was also formalised as well as the details of working conditions.

It had details of minimum wages for various trades, maximum prices for goods and services, things that sales tax could be applied to and how much, what rates income taxes and tithes could be set to and other such concerns, even specifying details of tax rates for things that didn't yet exist but which the English had.

There were details on the rights and responsibilities of every job, not just those you'd expect such as the king, tax collectors and sherriffs but things like farmers, plumbers, shepherds, bakers which exist and astronauts, journalists, personalities and programmers which were conceivable.

It literally covered everything Astria could conceive needing rules. There was a section on protections based on all sorts of diversity, not just the obvious ones borrowed from Terra. There were the rules of each religion as related to her by their gods incorporated as well as those for her own faithful to follow - in fact every religious exception to another section was spelt out. There were rules for every physical, spiritual and mental act. Obeying them would improve the Etiquette skill for a civilian but government officials would automatically suffer the proscribed penalties should they choose to ignore those specified for the job they were performing.
