==== Cookie Mania ====
The Inhabitants of Shockton woke up the morning of January 8th to find the Red Duke in a state of insanity. Having spent days pleading for stone with which to build Volterra, the Red Duke decreed Bone Block to be the answer to their prayers. Desiring a city of bone, Beyond the insanity of the proposal itself, the near starving population of Shockton rose up in protest based on the absurdity of the concept. Rebuffing the rebels, the Red Duke appealed to his allies in Pavia for bonemeal or compost materials, where there were none in the quantities to meet his demands, before appealing more broadly.
Approaching the Romans, the Lord Regent appealed to his allies to turn their entire wheat production to the purpose of supplying bonemeal for Volterra. Taking the proposal as a joke, the Romans offered to supply limited quantities of bonemeal on a regular basis to help the efforts, but stopped short of committing to full mobilization, instead proposing alternative materials to meet demand. Disgusted by the prospect of compromising on materials, the Red Duke took the deal and returned back to Volterra.
Dejected, the Red Duke redoubled his thoughts to achieve his goals, ultimately settling on a planned bake-off of industrial proportions to make six thousand stacks of cookies to be immediately composted into bonemeal. The populace, already reliant on food imports just to meet demands, were understandably scandalized by the proposition and abhorred at the prospect of an impending famine, the workers struck, bringing construction to a halt.
As months past, bone imports have manated to satisfy demand without upending the Volterran food supply, but the Red Duke remains fixated on the idea of cookies.
