Questions

[DM Juan]

Well, you could achieve that by having two adjacent provinces each create a city which you "merge" on each side of a river, say. So two city 10s become a megapolis...

[DM Juan]

But I agree, the City of Anuire is really only viable as an Imperial Capital. It's symbolic value to Avan/Boeruine likely contributes to it's continued mega-city status.

Can you get me answer on my question in turn 11 as well

Is it possible to for example Settle a province to 2 and then raise settlers in the same turn?

In the rules it says you can't RULE a province and raise settlers in the same turn.

[DM Juan]

You can settle, and then raise settlers, yes.

I suppose you could start with 3 Settlers and theoretically do:

Settle 1, Settle 2, Raise 2 Settlers.. for example.

If there is full law in a province does this negate the loyalty drop from ruling and setling? Or does the law just prevent loyalty drop from medium and severe taxes?

[DM Juan]

It functionally only impacts the tax effect.

Animal Affinity - Major Question
The rule states:
As a major ability, the character can speak with animals of the totem species. The animal must be within 10 feet of the character. Consider this ability to grant you a lieutenant of your level for all adventures of warrior class.

When on a main adventure can I advance my totem animal to a HD monster equal to my level? Keeping his stats and abilities the same, just advance his HD.

That's typically been how it works. You're 6th-level and the Giant Raven tags along, it's 6 HD. If you're 9th-level and the Giant Raven tags along again, it's 9HD.
