She might do some of the things that Aaron Klug did as he took over after She died.

What about just rumors they exist in the caves of the Highlands or some other nonsense? "Great Underground Cities Made of Cheese Gold"!!!! Or maybe the Romans just are speculative enough to care about rumors. What about Purple dye...

Would stories of large amounts of gold that could just be scooped up by the handfuls work? I'm not suggesting that we go ASB and actually change the amount just the speculation/rumor that tons exists.

Eagle Project The objective was to train and send Korean soldiers to infiltrate five key strategic cities in the Japanese-occupied Korean Peninsula: Chongjin, Sinuiju, Busan, Pyongyang, and Seoul. However, the operation never passed the training phase and was interrupted by the surrender of...
