Short biography: Tancred's origins are unknown, save that at some point roughly twenty years he emerged as the leader of a mercenary legion named the Mailed Fist, famous for their skills at close quarters, their heavy armour, their unswerving loyalty and the fact they have never fought a war of aggression and have only defended. In a time when humans are facing decline, the Mailed Fist are seen as a dim light in an unending sea of night - many times a Mailed Fist contingent has made a valiant last stand to protect vulnerable humans or hold a castle wall against unspeakable enemies when all others have fled. However times have been tough for even these valiant warriors and now their numbers have dwindled to the point where Tancred has gathered all of the survivors to make their last stand at the Fortress of Sygiria, the largest remaining free human settlement in the south.

Ok then. And I guess I'll have those dots be like resting posts angels have set up? Although I have noticed that the top island on that chain of small islands to the left of the big island has a larger white spot. Maybe someone else wants to take their own group of angels, possibly rouge? I'll leave that open for now, I guess. If all that is ok with you, Greal?

Weapons: bow and arrow, daggers

Aphonopelma has shown herself to be a stellar choice when leading smaller groups of spiders into the fray, and now must show she is capable of broad leadership as her position is ever rising.

Humans have 20 century era weapons (but no planes). The rest of the races have weapons from the middle ages.
Sparta, those are cities under Demon control. Some other cities are sieged.

What? Are you serious? It'll explain why there still around, but come on. The fight will be so unfair - we have axes they have machine guns - how long will that last? I will pay ten ton's of silver and five ton's of gold to whoever brings me huamn guns first in IC.
Never mind. Then everyone is in the same boot. Everyone is armed with middle ages arms.
No Orcs? I'm insulted.
But really if you'll add an Orc race i'll gladly play them.
You could say the inhabit the jungles in loose tribes. It would work well too as i'd most likely play them like Warhammer Orcs.
I guess you guys could have muskets for the humans or something.

BTW Greal, is it okay if my humans occupy the settlement between the two white angel patches?
Can I stake my claim on the Orcs?
Name: High Chieftain Grelok
Race: Orc
Description: Grelok, as most of his race, is usually hunched over himself when passive. However when doing battle he rises to an intimidating 6'8" in height. His skin is a vein covered dark green with plenty of hard muscle rippling beneath it's leather-like exterior. His hair is sparse however this is a small, still thriving, patch towards the back of his head which is a ruddy, stringy brown pulled back into a short ponytail. His eyes, strong and determined, have orange pupils. In Orcish years he is nearing his prime however the strain of leadership makes him seem more weary than one of his fellows of same age.
Weapons: He wields a two-handed axe passed down for generations in his family, The Slayer (http://www.medievalswordsnmore.com/images/products/xd601g.jpg)
Short biography: Born to Chief Maghur of the clan known as the War Cry, Grelok was born during a time when his people's lands were being endangered heavily by the conflicts around them. His father regularly left home with a handful of the clan's Warriors and would be gone for months, returning with various battle scars and much fewer men than the originally left with.
His father was part of the Chieftain Council, the only group that was summoned where various other Orc chieftains would put aside their differences to the best of their abilities and attempt to cooperate with their kinsmen to discuss topics that threatened the sanctity of the Orcish race. Their decisions usually ended in going to war futilely with whatever race was harassing them. Such was the way of Orc.
When Grelok became around the age of 18 to Orcs his father, who had been on his death bed months before his sons birthday, has passed away a few weeks after. He left the clan to Grelok who wanted to make his father proud even in death. His father always spoke of uniting the clans and it was not long before Grelok took that dream and sent his clan to war with the others, carving away at the opposition with his axe and slowly conquering each clan.
Some of the smaller, more harder to track down clans, managed to escape being swallowed up by Grelok's regime. However the larger ones soon kissed his feet when he disbanded the Chieftain Council and name himself High Chieftain.
Ever since then his loyalists have wrestled with the separatists for full domination of the land and some of the few surviving separatist clans have been on the run for the past few months as Grelok hunts them down with little to no mercy.

I did say in my Characters bio that he has never fully trusted Angels or Demons, so it could be an uneasy alliance i suppose.

So, is your fort between the two angel regions friendly to angels, or hostile? I'm very curious about this stuff.
Also, I had Tal send messengers to all the seperate rulers asking for a peace meeting, so feel free to RP that however you wish.

Yeah, overall we're friendly to angels. It's just my main character doesn't put much faith in them, that's all.
EDIT: Yeah, a truce sounds good to me.

Yes, Black too. I think as of now, I control all of the angel encampments, unless someone else calls some. I at least have the two biggest. If I keep the other spots, they'll be like small outposts scattered to aid angels who need a place to stay.

I suppose... Tal would be somewhat concerned, as they are demons, but with Umbra's peace-like manner, I'm sure he would try to call a truce, and maybe an alliance. I did send out messengers, if you caught that.
Edit: Oh, wait, I caught what you meant. Sorry. But yeah, I guess they'd know each other, they just haven't seen each other in a long time, so its uneasy. Or, this is before, since Celestial is a young girl right now as it seems.

I've just posted a reply concerning the message. What i like to do is have someone minor deliver it, as though the original messenger just passed it to him to pass on. That way, it's not GodModding either.
BTW, reading the IC thread with the Lord Of The Rings Soundtrack on makes it sound so awesome.

Okey dokey, couple of points:
Firstly, maybe the first post in the thread could be updated with each of our characters for easy reference?
Secondly, an annotated map would make things easier for us all, just so we can quickly look at it to see who is where.
Thirdly, I am really confused about what technological era we are in. Are we in the gunpowder age or not?

I think Greal said Muskets, Flintlock Pistols and Cannons, but no repeaters.

Huams and Dwarfs have muskets and cannons, as is ussual in Fanatasy. For each races technology look at Warhhamer. That'll do Deamons (Chaos/ Dark Elves), Orc's, Dwarf's, Elves (Wood Elves), Angel's (High Elves probalby), Humans(Empire), Vampire's (Undead), leaving spiders, Draconians, werewolves and serpenta. That's around the tech-levels I was working on, and will also be usefull for ideas for names backgrounds.

Hell no. Early muskets and cannons were useless. Armour is less efective tahn it once was, but guns are clummsy, prone to missfire, rare and don't work when it rains. Armour can protect you from a musket shot half the time, guns aren't good enotgh yet.

Right, that's what I thought, but if we're using flintlock then that's later period stuff and does render armour useless. With matchlock and wheel-lock then yes, armour does have a chance, but if we're on to flintlock then that's Renaissance warfare - which I have problem with apart from I need to completely redo my character :P

Unfortunately I've been playing too much Medieval 2: Total War to believe in fantasy armour any more :P
Name: Aphonopelma
Race: Spider
Description: Aphonopelma stands at about 5 feet tall, with a legspan of 15 feet. She is a hairy-looking spider.
Weapons: Natural Weapons: Urticating Hairs, Fangs, and Spindles on the back two feet and abdomen for spinning Silk.
Short biography: Aphonopelma was born a commoner amongst the Spiders, with no royal lineage at all. However, since the introduction of a meritocracy in response to the multitude of casualties caused by the ongoing war with the Elves, Aphonopelma has shown that she is the equal of any male, Spider or otherwise. Aphonopelma has shown herself to be a stellar choice when leading smaller groups of spiders into the fray, and now must show she is capable of broad leadership as her position is ever rising.
I'd like to claim at least a part of the Spiders, doesn't matter much to me which part.

With mine, the look is that of the Rangers (http://www.tuckborough.net/images/rangers-ithilien.jpg) of Gondor from LoTR. I like the idea that they're hunter/soldiers. They carry mainly longswords, bows, muskets or early pistols. At the fort, i have some heavier armour and some cannons.

Cheers mate, I simply enjoy playing doomed characters and underdogs - and in this world you don't get more doomed than the humans.
Rifles had better not show up in this thread, or it simply becomes silly.
After my next IC post I will be gone for 2 days so the earliest I will be able to post is Friday Night GMT. Try not to kill too many things in my absence.

Actually Isa, I did not. As you have just said, the Baker Rifle is a rifle, and Greal is allowing flintlock pistols, muskets and cannons, so there :p

I know it is a musket, but it is a rifled musket and that makes a hell of a difference. I just don't think that it fits in with a fantasy setting.
Of course, if you insist on using it anyway, I'll have someone magically find a bunch of Pattern 1853 Enfields and use those, after all they are muskets ;)

Greal The Baker Rifle was first produced in 1800 so it is a early 18 century gun
Imperial isa
23-07-2008, 23:32
18 century is 1700s.
The 18th century lasted from 1701 to 1800 so it came at the end of it
True rifling dates from the mid-15th century, although the precision required for its effective manufacture kept it out of the hands of infantrymen for another three and a half centuries
so we could have rilfed weapons early

Right! Us humans are having a hard time, so I'm going to join in alongside Skgorria as a band of humans based at the fortress-city of Iskandara (the circle to the left of Skgorria's on the map).
Name: Padraig Chulain, Captain-General of the Great Company
Race: Humans
Description: Aged 28, 5' 10" tall, roughly-cut short black hair, average build, one wooden leg (left), brutal, ruthless, abusive, womanising, iron will, terrified of failure. Beloved by his troops, but rules with an iron fist.
Weapons: He wields an enchanted flanged mace of finest Iskandarian manufacture, and carries a Dwarven wheel-lock pistol (the only gunpowder weapon in all Iskandara). As Captain-General of the Great Company, he wears enchanted full plate armour in battle, with the black and white tabard of Iskandria on top. He rides a warhorse called Maria, one of the few left in Human lands of purebreed.
Short biography: Padraig is the bastard son of Iskandara's noble house, who lost his leg during a series of raids against Dwarven holdings in his youth. Raised as a warrior, he rose to command Iskandara's Great Company during the period before the Catastrophe. During the Catastrophe, with the death of Iskandara's rulers during a Draconian attack, Padraig and his Great Company took control of the city-fortress and have spent the following months and years repairing fortifications and building the Great Company into a force that, it is hoped, will begin the resurgance of humanity...

The Army of Iskandara:
"Deii Vultae!" (The Gods Will It - warcry of Iskandara)
The Great Company:
Originally the professional guard of Iskandara, responsible for protecting the fortress-city and maintaining order within its walls, the Great Company wears black and white tabards over chain-and-plate armour. The majority of the Great Company are infantrymen, with a preponderance of pike and crossbows. One division of the Great Company are trained in the use of hand-cannons, a relatively new invention following on from the development of rudimentary cannon (all of which are emplaced upon the walls). Padraig 'One-Leg' Chulain's personal guard are heavy cavalry, who are mostly equipped with lances and maces, although some use swords or axes instead. Plate armour are the preserve of the Keep Guard, as they are known. The Great Company breaks down as follows:
Keep Guard:
Approximately 500 heavy cavalry, also capable of fighting on foot as foot knights. Professional and experienced, these men are the survivors of the Great Company following the Catastrophe. They are fiercly loyal to One-Leg, and think nothing of acts of hideous brutality. Their tabards are half black and half white, with a styalised keep in the centre. Officers' plate armour is laquered black, and piped in silver or gold according to rank. Guardsmen's armour is polished metal.
The White Company:
Around 1,000 infantry, the White Company of the Great Company is led by Aefric Hardarm. These infantry are a mix of pike and crossbowmen, in a 2:1 ratio. One division of the White Company's crossbowmen use hand cannons. These men are trained, but no longer the professionals that they once were. instead, they, like their kin in the Black Company, are drawn from the townsfolk of Iskandara.
The Black Company:
Also numbering around a 1,000 men, the Black Company is led by Oswald Bladenose. Their task is to man the walls at all times, and crew the cannons emplaced upon it. They are armed with crossbows, spears and swords. Few among them have much experience, but those that do are scattered evenly throughout the divisions in order to provide much-needed backbone.
The Levies:
Around 2,500 men, the levies are drawn from Iskandara and its surroundings. Many of the country yeomanry are formed into two light cavalry divisions of about 300 men each. The remaining men are armed mostly with longbows and pole-arms. Few have armour of better quality than a suit of chainmail, and those that do are mostly in the light cavalry divisions (known as the Oak Division and the Ash Division). The Levies are comprised of hardened fighters and men of violence, with a scattering of mercenary units and sell-swords. next to the Keep Guard, the Levies are among the most experienced and vicious fighters in Iskandara's army.
The Magii:
Few Mages survived the Draconic occupation which ruined much of the city, but those that did are now ensconced in Iskandara's tallest tower, the Eye of Iskandara. From within the Eye, they provide much-needed magic support to Chulain's army, enabling the Great Company to sally forth without fear of enemy magic.
And finally...
The Poor Bloody Civilians!
Iskandara's multitudes cower beneath the safety of the walls of Iskandara itself. The city has drawn in hundreds of refugees, and the last count provided a total of around 15,000 people. They keep the city running and many work the farmland immediately outside the city's walls; and depend on the Great Company for protection and victory.

bio: Draco runs a loose vampire confederation based on secrecy and survival. he enjoys hobnobbing with various races' politicians and leaders. he only needs to feed once a century (straight from dracula), but njoys food once every two months. he drinks wine. the only thing he cares about is the survival of his race and himself. he also tries to preserve the human population for various purposes, and issues hunting licenses to his followers so as to control prey loss.

I was also thinking of adding panthers that can talk and control fire. :D
Please don't! We'll have furries on our hands before you know it.
Anyway, here is some more info. Enjoy!
Sygiria
The Sygirians can trace their origins back to a vicious tribe of nomads who raided for supplies and pleasure along the south coast. Eventually they came upon a daunting hill that rose above most of the flat plains of the area, and chose to base themselves there. Although raiding continued for several more centuries, it was always done from their new home that they named “Sygiria”, which in the old tongue meant “refuge”. Eventually the raiding ceased and an organised kingdom arose, though the Sygirians look back on their warrior heritage with a mixture of pride and embarrassment at having been so barbaric.
The Fortress-City
Surrounding the city is a large moat, thirty paces wide and is extremely deep. There are rumours of strange creatures that live in the moats, although no official source has backed this. Access to the city is granted via a drawbridge lowered from the city to the far bank, behind which lies a strong portcullis. Most of the army is camped outside of the city, around where the drawbridge falls.
The first wall, like all walls, is over fifty paces tall, twenty paces thick, and made of solid black granite. It has turrets every hundred paces in which ballista are mounted and that also can be used as archery platforms.
Behind the first wall stretches the bulk of the fortress-city, into which a seething mass of humanity is packed. No-one knows exactly how many residents are contained within the city but most number it between a hundred and a hundred and fifty thousand. This number has been augmented by the thousands of refugees that have fled from the surrounding fiefdoms and baronies to Sygiria, and the extra population pressure has lead to a limited number of dwellings being constructed outside of the city. No buildings are permitted closer than two hundred paces to the second wall.
The second wall is exactly the same in character to the first wall, apart from the ring itself is smaller and thus it can be held by fewer soldiers. After the second wall, the ground starts to rise and this is the hill of Sygiria itself. No buildings are permitted in this second ring but the plantlife is kept under control and no trees, bushes or large vegetation are allowed to grow on the hill, which takes roughly five hundred paces to climb.
At the top of Sygiria is the keep, which housed the former Lord of Sygiria but now houses Tancred, his elite guard and various city officials.
The Armies of Sygiria
In battle, Tancred can call upon a diverse range of forces to ensure victory and since his arrival, he has worked hard to forge the disparate bands of his forces into a single blade.
The Mailed Fist
Once an elite mercenary army numbering in the thousands, this force has lost many of its members and now only number seven companies. It has not lost any of iits professionalism and the surviving Mailed Fist soldiers are among the best soldiers that Tancred has at his disposal. It currently consists of two companies of bow, three companies of swordsmen and two of heavy cavalry, all of whom fight in full plate armour. Although their numbers are few, where a Mailed Fist unit fights a difference is made and allies gain in confiderence.
Levies
Whether they have volunteered or have been conscripted, every man and woman in the Sygirian levies has been extensively trained and have their own weapons or armour. Their numbers have been almost tripled by the arrival of the refugees and remnants of other armies that accompanied Tancred, and now the levies have a large dose of experience to bolster the inexperienced Sygirians. The levies are the workhorse of the army, making up most of the numbers and providing soldiers for any role from archers to cavalry to engineers to infantry. The levies currently number around twenty-five thousand.
Militia
The militia keep the peace in Sygiria. Otherwise known as the Watch, they patrol the streets both day and night to ensure that the laws of the city are upheld. Whilst only lightly armed and armoured, these men and women are no strangers to danger. In the event of siege, the role of the militia is to aid the levies in any way to free up soldiers for the walls, thus militia can be found as stretcher bearers, fire fighters and runners. The militia currently numbers around five thousand, though its numbers will be increased greatly if war nears.
The Magii of Sygiria
Very few humans have magic potential, but those that do in Sygiria have been gathered together to provide spells to the match steel.
The Secret Weapon
Rumours abound as to what the secret weapon is, but all that is known is that large quantities of bottles, caligraphy pens, dried eyes and raven's feet have been requisitioned by Tancred to be stored in the keep.
I'll be creating another character.

Count Dracula possesses numerous different supernatural abilities inherent in vampirism, along with additional skills derived from his abilities as a necromancer which allow him to commune with the dead. His age and potency make him far more powerful than the creatures of traditional Eastern European folklore. He has enormous physical strength which, according to Van Helsing, is equivalent to 20 men. Being undead, he is immune to conventional means of attack. The only definite way to kill him is by decapitating him followed by impalement through the heart, although it is also suggested that shooting him with a sacred bullet would suffice. The Count can defy gravity to a certain extent, being able to climb upside down vertical surfaces in a reptilian manner. He has powerful hypnotic and mind control abilities, and is also able to command the loyalty of nocturnal animals such as wolves and rats. Dracula can also manipulate the weather, usually creating mists to hide his presence, but also storms such as in his voyage in the Demeter. He can shapeshift at will, his featured forms in the novel being that of a wolf, bat, dust and fog. He requires no other sustenance but fresh blood, which has the effect of rejuvenating him. Without it, he physically ages at an accelerated rate.
'According to Dr Van Helsing:
The Nosferatu do not die like the bee when he sting once. He is only stronger, and being stronger, have yet more power to work evil. This vampire which is amongst us is of himself so strong in person as twenty men, he is of cunning more than mortal, for his cunning be the growth of ages, he have still the aids of necromancy, which is, as his etymology imply, the divination by the dead, and all the dead that he can come nigh to are for him at command, he is brute, and more than brute, he is devil in callous, and the heart of him is not, he can, within his range, direct the elements, the storm, the fog, the thunder, he can command all the meaner things, the rat, and the owl, and the bat, the moth, and the fox, and the wolf, he can grow and become small, and he can at times vanish and come unknown.

Nice info Skgorria. Might do something like that myself...
Ustai
The Ustai hail from the north of the continent. There they have become accustomed to the cold summers and even colder winters. They have lived out of Fort Belarus for as long as any of the Ustai can remember. Nestled into a ravine which is wracked by constant snowstorms and blizzards, the fort is an easily defendable position.
Fort Belarus
The main base for the Ustai population, Belarus has stood longer than any Ustai can remember. Sat in a ravine, the Fort is easily defendable but also a dead end. Rather than the standard fortress layout, Belarus has no moat. Instead, the main wall is placed in front of a massive plain, where any enemy can be spotted at long range. The plains are watched over vigilantly by soldiers and cannons alike. While the Fort itself is relatively small, the true secret of Belarus is that it is built into the mountains behind and around it. Deep caverns and long tunnels run inside the mountains. Dug by the first Ustai people, the tunnels lead out of the rear of the mountain as an escape route and along the two mountains flanking the plain. This allows for rapid undeteced movement on a besieging enemies' flanks. Inside the caverns live the Ustai, the people of the Fort. Their homes are built into the very rock of the mountain, and many see no need to leave the caves as they have everything they need below ground. In this sense, they have become more like dwarves in their love of underground areas.
The Armed Forces Of The Ustai
Rangers
Highly mobile and not often called on to fight in battles, the rangers are hunters who generally roam the wilds, keeping the borders of Ustai safe and bringing back food on their return to Belarus. They wear leather and chainmail armour with capes, hoods and face masks. They carry longswords, bows and (in rare occasions) muskets.
The Order Of The Dragon
The main fighting force of the Ustai, the Dragons lead most assaults, either on horseback or on foot. They wear heavy plate armour over lighter chainmail armour and carry a mixture of longswords, bows, pikes and muskets. They also use towed cannons in rare occasions, such as besieging a city.
The Wizard-Kind
A mysterious group of individuals, they are very secretive and prefer not to show off their magical powers unless they truly have to. They are belived to have derived their power from an ancient shrine deep in the mountain.
The Order Of The Sacred Fire
An order made up of both regular soldiers and the Wizard-kind of the Ustai, they are inducted into the Order if they show an interest in fire. They carry swords and muskets and the "Chosen" of the Order carry the Mouth Of The Dragon, a rudimentary flame cannon which requires over six people to crew it successfully.
C&C? BTW, when imagining Fort Belarus, think of Helm's Deep (http://bfme2.heavengames.com/lore/article_pix/helms_deep_1) for the aesthetic look.

I'm not sure if anybody else has responded to my messengers (besides Beelzebub), I've missed quite a bit, so just respond if you did, I suppose.

I didn't send one to everybody individually, I just sent one and basically said, "They went to everybody" so I wouldn't have to list everyone and risk missing somebody.

I meant besides you and Syl. I kinda targeted you two with my message I just sent in the IC thread, so I meant besides you two and Beelzebub.
The new characters are approved.

The Secret Weapon
Rumours abound as to what the secret weapon is, but all that is known is that large quantities of bottles, caligraphy pens, dried eyes and raven's feet have been requisitioned by Tancred to be stored in the keep.
