I, too, await the main thread. There's not really all that much I can do in the mean time, what with being on an idyllic little island and all.

Alright, please do not use puppets to post your posts people.

I rather like that idea. Could even be combined with the old magic idea: the invading Elves could be using the old magic that made them unstoppable in the past.The ritual itself can be broken, so what about a 'cult' of ultra-conservative High Elvea attempt to perform a blood ritual which would bring the old magic?

Man I am gone for the weekend and already way lost. So there is some artifact and a meeting at a magic school to decide what to do with it?

these are just ideas so far not actual threads

Is this still open to new applicants?

Is it still possible to join?

If so I would like to join and will get to making a factbook quickly if allowed. My race would be based off of my FT race (A.K.A. exactly the same, but with different tech).Type up a nice little summary of your race if you would. As I am simply to picky to blankly accept my FT factbook will be my guidelines.

My people would be almost completely based upon real life humans, with a bit of sorcery mixed in... An example of my story telling can be seen here (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/Dandrosian_Royal_Line), as well as the start of a history for my nation, and a small example of the type of sorcery that can be expected.

Is this still open to new applicants?

Yup

Now that things are beginning to take motion its time for the plotting and deception to begin I do hope you all have begun making your plan's for the sake of your lands that is

Do do something unpleasant to Ys that will provoke their involvement in world politics, won't you?

I think meantime, I'll write about a wealthy merchant from the docklands doing business in some foreign harbour. Who would like to get involved in that little plot? I have no idea where it's going to go, most likely with some big deal between our nations and the merchant becoming an ambassador or something like that.

It could also go the opposite way and some trade ship is sunk turning into a diplomatic incident and then perhaps a small conflict or full war

I could do that, too. Shall I start a thread in the morning, or do you want to do one - that is, if you're offering.

Well considering my people are still myth until word spreads about me I think its kinda impossible at the moment till i develop my story more

I'd be interested in some of this shipping/sinking/trade stuff

Drug smuggling perhaps? even fantasy worlds probably have illegal things lol

Am I just wondering if I was accepted, I posted a long time ago and you just asked about some of my tech then nothing.

Drug smuggling perhaps? even fantasy worlds probably have illegal things lol

I could just be like silk, or some item that is forbidden to be exported

Thank you for doing so.

No you have not broken any rules, though I would prefer for you to explain your 'Warbirds' a little more....

I'd be interested in some of this shipping/sinking/trade stuff

If there was going to be ship sinking, you'd need to do it - the trade that occurs in Ys isn't regulated by the government, thus there are no laws to prevent people from trading in anything. If the Duchess found out that her people were trading in slaves in the docklands, however, she might be a tad upset; enough so to send the navy to apprehend the vessel. We could have a sort of Ysian Slave Crisis. :P

Well I could have a junk get blown off course and hit a reef, it just happened to be carrying Midon, a strong fabic but very light, soft, repels water and has numerous other purpose and uses. Seen as a necessary item in Ithilar, however the process by which it is made is unknown.

http://images.elfwood.com/art/e/m/emerson/flyship.jpg.rZd.58213.jpg

Ships that fly with cannons on them. They are slow and hardly maneuverable, but they can transport troops well as well as rain down hell on a battlefield. Since I lack large amounts of dragons or other beasts, they stead use these as their primary air power.

The Ships have a flat deck which allows for casters and bowmen as well as Cannon to attack in a battle, this is the ship's main defense against other dragons.

See I answered, no need to get all annoyed thinking I didn't listen. :)

Another thing to add to the Artefact idea -

Perhaps, the artefact could be a bit like the one ring - a powerful weapon, perhaps even a sapient one with its own agenda's for the world. Howsat?

Could even just be something that grants one wish to who ever holds it, kinda like what you see in RPG's, just lets not have some strange tower lol

Dragonballs?

We had the evil invader idea a while back, how about we combine them? We all fight for this artefact, then the guy who gets it becomes the scourge. Bit like Mutant games from UT2k4, if your into that sort of thing.

Or maybe these invaders are so powerful because of this artifact? and when it comes to a wish I wasn't thinking Dragon balls lol, I was thinking something kinda along the lines of the Blue Crystal Rod from The Tower of Druaga, you know a sole legendary item that once used will disappear for thousands of years.

I think a dragonball-esque artifact would be best, there could be a quest all over the world to find them before the ebil invaderz do and make a wish

I had the idea that perhaps Ys could be an obstacle in their path. Suppose these evil invaders live across the sea somewhere, and they invade from the south seeking the, uh, dragonballs. The first thing they see is the walls of Ys. If the Ysian defenders were only just able to hold them off, they could alert the mainland countries of the new danger, and tell them that they can only hold them off so long alone. Having done some spying, the Ysian emissaries also know that the invaders are after the wish-granting artefact things, perhaps because they think their evil Cthulhoid god lives somewhere on our continent, perhaps at the bottom of that lake, and they want to summon him from the depths to rule the world as his chosen race blah blah blah. So, each nation can choose to collect the artefacts to get a wish for themselves, join a coalition who want to destroy them, or support the invaders. Presumably said coalition would also be sending troops to Ys to help with the defense, keeping them away from the mainland.
What do you think?

Oh: And the arrival of the invaders should be a bit like the Timurid invasion of Europe. They should bring things no one's ever seen before (rockets, cannons, elephants - or if we already have all of those, more advanced or magical things). Plus they should wear black armour, obviously. Maybe they could bring airships? With its large siege arsenal, Ys could still hold them off until help arrived.

This man speaks truth.

Don't think they're actually going to be dragonballs. At least, I hope not.

Dragonballs?

Bit like Mutant games from UT2k4, if your into that sort of thing.Dragonballs are far to fickle of idea as they would simply not be plauisble without use excess magic from other realms, realms of which can no longer be accessed by mortals by normal means. I myself was thinking of having a magically imbued artifact that leads the user to a long rost ruin, the place where the arcane ritual was completed, which sealed off the old magics, and the place where the old magics may be restored.

true but those from the homeland might think your people have strayed from the true path cause some conflict between the two

Alright then, how about this:

The invading elves show up at Ys's walls, expecting it to be an easy obstacle to crush. About half their fleet of airships is destroyed, their ships turn around when the Ysian polyboloi begin firing on them. Fearing that they'll return later, Ys abandons its isolationism and turns to the mainland for aid, warning that if the walls of Ys fall, no other kingdom will survive their onslaught. Being figures of legend somewhat, a fairytale or a wild merchant's tale in most people's eyes, they approach one of the mainland countries and ask them to host a conference. A conference is held, everyone declared their alignment, the elves come back with a larger fleet and the allied nations need to try to hold them off together while simultaneously fighting their supporters (if there are any) back home. And the artefact fits in as mentioned earlier.

I like it. And if Scand's people assist the invaders and start attacking and expanding, I'll probably be one of the first targets, since I'm right on his northern border. A nice push to get the Suendri out of their isolation as well. :)

Tyeah and the three people i sent out to seek help to end our isolation could spot a army heading in my general direction causing them to go back, raise a army and then go to war revealing my existence as not being myth to the world? well it could take many different ways, I could spot the army heading for some one and go to warn them you know, since its three people trying to hide from others im sure that would be easy.

I like that wilderness area where no one has a nation. Look right in the middle of it, at that lake in the mountains - if that's the crater of an extinct volcano with a lochan in it, it would make a pretty epic place for an artefact. ^^

Beta Aurigae, the nation I'll first contact will most likely be yours - you're the closest. It could work well, since your nation is cosmopolitan enough that you should be in fairly good standing with the other races, and you're powerful enough that you should have some influence; making you a good candidate to host a conference for the Ysians. Is this okay with you?

Name: Leifrechuan Confederation
Race: Leifrechuan, or commonly Halfling.

Description: The Leifrechuans are a rather young race that often is ignored by many of the others due to their short stature. They have a reputation for be unadventurous among the few people that know of them. That is not entirely true. Leifrechuan civilization is very new compared to the other groups out there because of this there population is smaller then most groups and they do not have the desire to go to war in an instance they can not win.

The political structure is a loose federation of towns and villages. Control over the entire Federation is exercised by a council once every four months with the possibility of emergency meetings as a possibility.

They have not shown a strong interest in the fields of magic either because they are not interested or can not is not known at this point.

In Terms of Technology I am thinking something similar to a dark age British isles, with maybe use of steel. Nothing to out the ordinary in that, maybe we will develop water wheels but right now they are not the big a deal.

Name: Aven
Race: Bird-people

Description: The Avens are an extremely proud, xenophobic race of bird-people who resemble humans with large eagle wings and bird heads. Fierce warriors, they are suspicious of the other races, especially the elves. Once a loose conglomeration of warring tribes, the Avens were brought under the iron-fisted rule of Rheal family over four hundred years ago. They are fanatically devoted to their wind and sky gods, and roost and build cities on mountains.

Avens, possessing the natural power of flight, conduct warfare quite differently than the other races. Preferring ranged weapons over swords, much of the Aven army is comprised of bowmen, crossbowmen, javelins, and slings who circle the skies, raining death to the ground. The two most notable exceptions of this are the Royal Guards, the heavily armored bodyguards of the Lord himself, who are armed with huge double-ended war scythes and covered in plate mail, and the Zealots, religious fanatics dedicated to the Wind gods who carry swords and long chains fixed with wicked hooks to grab enemies and rip them to shreds.

Magic is viewed and used quite differently among the Avens than the other races. Although traditional magic has long since been dead in the society, naturally-gifted Psionics began to appear several hundred years ago. Although they cannot cast normal spells, they can create illusions, look into the minds of their enemies, and call upon the wind gods to summon powerful maelstroms in battle. The numbers and energy of these gifted avens is extremely limited.

Indeed. Avens normally don't wear much armor, seeing as it would significantly slow them down or ground them. An aven wearing heavy armor-such as the Guards-would only be able to go airborne for a short amount of time; they will strafe an enemy from above, land, and fight, using thier wings to retreat if they have to.

The Aven look quite solid to me as well. There's still a decent amount of land left, so I think we can squeeze one or maybe two more people, now that the main thread has started. Keep in mind that Thrashia left a while ago, so the whole light blue area that was his should be up for grabs.

An aven wearing heavy armor-such as the Guards-would only be able to go airborne for a short amount of time; they will strafe an enemy from above, land, and fight, using thier wings to retreat if they have to.The problem I have with them is their description as powerful warriors, at least as I see them compared to other persons. Is because in order to truly fly they would need massive diets, relatively light bodies (hollow bones and light body parts, e.g. not having large masses of muscle outside of their wings), and where would their wings be?

Wing span is a factor, too. If they have very well developed wings, they might be able to maintain the muscle mass of a sort of average human and still be capable of flight - though their diets would need to be massive. I doubt they could every fly at all in heavy armour, though. Maybe in leather, and even then they'd probably be the elites of the army. Of course, this is a fantasy setting - who said there was anything wrong with a little mithril or cuendillar or similar? So long as it's not too much.

I want this game, dam them for delaying it

I'm wondering what sort of a backstory could be created around the Suendri... perhaps an account of an outlander who got taken prisoner during a raid and was taken to live with them? Just trying to think of something that would give a nice illustration of Suendri society. Hey Scand, would you be opposed to me writing from the perspective of one of your Elves, say a settler or a trader?

Hey Scand, would you be opposed to me writing from the perspective of one of your Elves, say a settler or a trader?Feel free to, but please make it more of a trader who went into your lands, against standard wisdom, to trade. From there he was captured. The logic behind this is that it avoids the possbility of any serious conflict between our nations.

I was thinking it would be a past account from at least a century before present for that same reason, so that the events in the story don't have any effect on present events. Say, the last short period of contact the two nations had. So they do know somewhat of each other (mainly that the other exists), but that experience is 100 years out of date by now.

Please feel free to TG me with any concerns or details you think are important, so I don't totally misrepresent your people by accident. :) And thanks for letting me do this.

Ok guys, I'm back from vacation and composing a post to the Ys thread. I'm not sure where Weccanfeld got to, but I have a post up in that thread too from before I left so I'm waiting on him there.

well i dont about every one else but i pop in here every day or two, see whats going on hopefully things will pick up to normal pace

I'm not sure where Weccanfeld got to

Procrastinationland.

Crap, sorry, I forgot about this a little bit. I'll post a response presently.

Seems it's about time people started posting their arrival in the Seven Realms, anyway.

Yeah, sorry I didn't put an OOC in my post, but my last post in the Ys thread was an invitation to all nations interested to receive a griffin rider and post a short dialogue and then an arrival in the Seven Realms.

Also, my post is up Weccanfeld.

Good everyone is getting back on board.

yeah its good that activity is back

Are we getting back up to speed?

Y'just need to post in the Word from Ys thread.

Post in it yourself you boom. ;)

lazy much eh?

I can't post if I have nothing to reply to. Sorry I haven't checked this in a while, I forgot about it a little.

I have a post in the works, just haven't worked on it in a while. It's on the long side, and involves the shooting down of the griffin, the capture of the messenger, and the taking of the messenger to a ghost-talker who can translate between messenger and Suendri. It's a little brutal, but it's an accurate taste of what Suendri usually do to unexpected visitors, and results in a live messenger and the possibility of Suendri involvement later on. :)
