Well where hospitlar is at, which I called the Taller peninsula, the north is grassland, the west a little more hilly due to the mountains of the north but I have southern hospitlar have strips of wooded areas. So maybe it should be like the Scottish highlands, with strips of wooded areas.

If I may throw in my two cents, moor is a term for swampland, so I imagine it would be swampy in the Evermoors, at least in the areas near the river along the east edge.

Hosp: That sounds good to me.

If I may throw in my two cents, moor is a term for swampland, so I imagine it would be swampy in the Evermoors, at least in the areas near the river along the east edge.

The term 'moor' in regards to terrain applies to scrubland, unsuitable for farming due to altitude or soil. Usually sparse in inhabitants or wildlife.

Hopefully this is going to fare better than a Modern Tech Crusade attempt (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13810597&postcount=18) I did before and that didn't even start because the newb was apparently scared off.

Who shall the great enemy turn out to be me wonders?I'd volunteer my demon-tainted, magic wielding alliance with an elven minority tainting the purity of human lineage, but I'm very much content with expanding my empire, and odds are you're to busy with the abominations of Oblivion. Perhaps after... Ah, but that hasn't been announced yet.

stop being all sneaky like! leave that for the likes of the elves and chaos peoples.

I take it was Cyberverse whom backed down?

Actually it was the thread starter there. Later I had the idea for inserting horror dark Fantasy elements in a Modern Tech RP, leading to the thread linked in my sig.

Anyway, back ontopic, I gave already a pointer on the movements of the Vth Crusade. They are still unsure whether to go through the woods at northwest or through the Great Green. The bigger lines represent larger forces, and to avoid running the risk of having to break through enemy lines to the other side of the river(-50% combat penal... oops, this is not Europa Universalis, nevermind) they have focused on the east so far.

stop being all sneaky like! leave that for the likes of the elves and chaos peoples.If you reference my factbook, the Procan Confederacy has an elven minority. If you stop to think about how it's run, you'll realize it's fairly chaotic and run by a demonic cultist. So, one could argue I'm elves and chaos peoples. Especially since I'm the only nation with demonic influences, and the only (active) nation with elves.

>.> sneaky.

@ Golugan: Hey now, I'm elves too, Dark Elves, but I've just been busy! And yea the chaotic influence thing is cool too.

@ Kormanthor: When am I going to get to see a factbook my friend? :S

@ Scand: Same to you buddy.

I am willing to rp with some people, my territory is still in flux as to how much of Anfalas I own due to Naggeroth's change, but I am willing to rp. I'm kinda bored, waiting to get into something =P

Yeah. I love when there's a RP involving 10 different nations.. and one person wants to play Die Hard, storm the enemy castle and kill the badguy all by themselves. :$

Replied to your post. And to make it clear on daemon stuff: usual practice is that if you know the name, then you have power over it. However Xahlkas is not the daemon's true name. No one knows it. He was summoned in a way that allows for a known name to bequeath entrance to the real world. The "blood price" that Kazellor paid was the key. So, no Golugan, that's not going to happen how you'd like. Replied to your TG too.

Replied to your TG too.I was actually referring to Kazellor or whatever it's spelled... the name that matters if the one lodged in the subconcious of a certain half-elf.

Oh, and the TG I sent should have made it clear that the cultist was on the ship en route to Hospitlar, not in his cave.

Changed the post to suit the location. And what do you mean referring to Kazellor?

Changed the post to suit the location. And what do you mean referring to Kazellor?Kazellor has, apparently, become demonic. His true name is Arcune. He's who I was planning to have the mages gain power over.

He's been gifted daemonic powers, but he's not a daemon himself. Neither is Azergal. They're simply men who've been gifted powers beyond mortal ken. It will/would be a long time coming before they assume daemonhood.

*eyes glaze over*

*eyes glaze over*In a lot of mythology regarding demons, names are said to have power over them. This is represented in various games in that you can summon a specific outsider in D&D with planar binding spells if you use its name, or how in the Warhammer universe daemons use pseudonyms such as Bloodfist the Fleshrender, Pusfang the Bloated, or Thrillscent the Sensuous.

Am I to presume that this is the imp speaking back?

is this still open...? If so I'd be interested in participating, Id claim something close to the gulf of tobais, preferably bordering the empire to make things interesting...

Am I to presume that this is the imp speaking back?The Grand Manipulator, one of the big bad demons on the scale of X's master and the patron of the cultist's worship. As far as the Grand Manipulator (I want to abbreviate that, but it'd be confusing) is concerned, X is the manipulator.

Also, Hospitlar, I am very close to you. A small fleet sail away, really. We also felt the powers of Chaos rise again and we are antsy, since it may have an affect on the orcs I'm close to. So, if you send a messenger, I could send some help.

EDIT: I see I have come under attack by the Confederacy of Orcs. One thing, Thrashia. We need to find out what my land claim is, now that Naggeroth is changing. If possible, I'd like to have more since I was so small due to a deal he and I worked out. Two, those Orcs are going to have to overcome my line of fortresses and walls. We built them between the Orc Confederacy's nation area and our lands.

Yes it's still open. If you want it, just put a factbook up and I'll add you in.

@ Golugan: ...you have me a bit confused, but ok. So you're saying that you think that another daemon like X is the Grand Manipulator? I don't think that the story-line thus far can fit two similar, powerful daemon...

@ Telros: I think Naggeroth is wanting to keep his claim. We'll have to see what he says on that point when he gets back. As for now, just keep the present claim. The watch fort that the orcs sacked was just meant to be a prelude/entry post for the orc attack. The mountain pass that I mention leading into Silverfall is where I presume your line of border forts to be. Will there be a bonified castle or a simple motte-bailey type wooden palisade fort that they come up against?

The Grand Manipulator, one of the big bad demons on the scale of X's master and the patron of the cultist's worship. As far as the Grand Manipulator (I want to abbreviate that, but it'd be confusing) is concerned, X is the manipulator.

*sigh*

Why not just play the game and not try to overshadow everyone else with your one all-powerful NPC?

It's something like the Wall the Pelennor Fields had which got overrun by Mordor. It's a set of walls, with several fortresses centered in key entry points. It's purpose is to keep out major Ork raids and to serve as a slow down down so that the King's armies can have time to gather and move in to crush the Orks. They have other castles and fortified cities beyond that but thats the main choke point.

@ Golugan: ...you have me a bit confused, but ok. So you're saying that you think that another daemon like X is the Grand Manipulator? I don't think that the story-line thus far can fit two similar, powerful daemon...The Grand Manipulator is a demon who's focused on the subtle, content to operate from beyond the barrier through a few worshipers and minor demons like the cultist and his imp familiar. All the Grand Manipulator is doing is telling X that the cultist isn't going to be the one who foils his plans, leaving the implication that someone else is so as to give X the incentive to back off the Hidden Corsair King.

@ Golugan: Unfortunately, the Hidden Corsair King will not be left untouched by this world event. So, for now and in the future, refrain from using the G.M.; using a minor daemon like an imp is cool, but for now Xahlkas is the one and only daemon lord who will be enacting any powers within the mortal world, physically in it or no. So no more G.M. You'll just have to cope with it in other ways. I mentioned that your other things, like the pyromancer, etc, was cool. But for now, the whole G.M. is a big no.

Good call - I also hate individual-centric 'chosen one' storylines. It feels like trying to roleplay Dynasty Warriors...

I wasn't planning on having him untouched by the world event, I just didn't like the idea of X coming in and personally saying "Screw you."

Then don't play. 's not your game nor your plot.

Now, now. Golugan has a fair say in this just as much as everyone else. So don't rain on his parade. X only got up close and personal because he felt the magic being used by your half-elf shaman guy. That's why he sent that little "telephone" call through the mirror. So no biggy.

Alright, but to clarify: The half-elf is the guy who scried on Kalledor in the OP of Ripples, the cultist is a slightly warped human.

Then make a factbook and join up!

Well, what regions are still free? And what are limitations on creatures? Do we got dragons, demons, and all that other good stuff. Also, I have an interesting tech idea but I'm not sure if it'd be wankish. Believe me, if it flies I'd do everything in my power to not make it wankish.

There are dragons in existence, but few in number. Pretty much anything fantasy goes. Daemons exist but they're mostly evil and largely trapped behind wards made by the ancient gods. What is this tech of yours, if its passable I'll approve it.

Well I was thinking of using my own PT race (which actually has connections to my FT nation), the Elden. Essentially, the Elden are very powerful but incredibly few in number, a lot of their tech actually is just very modified magic applied to natural stuff. Essentially, the Elden developed ways of traveling to different worlds, but this technology can be very dangerous and unstable at times. The tech I was going to use would be something like the the teleporters in 'Morrowind,' essentially a strcuture which you walk up to and can use to go from location to location. Now then, I'd prolly have a few 'private' one which only the Elden could use, but the rest would be pretty much open. So you'd have this gate thing sitting in the middle of a forest which you could walk into and just appear in some desert. You could back and forth to your hearts desire and I figure this might provide something a little intersting for everyone else. Of course, said gates can be destroyed, captured, and for the Elden to construct them, they'd have to actually be in that area at the time and themwould have to make all the preparations and such... I figure it might just make things a little more interesting and it would help with the backstory of my race.

to be frank, i'm kinda confuse whats going on in the ripples across the middle sea thread...ahhhh

Oh and telros i'll be sending a messanger once Locken gets into this big argument with the high counsel and i was also thinking of setting up some sort of Black sea/tobias gulf pact.

Sounds good, Hospitlar. My help will be diminished once my King sees the Black Sea Orcs are on the move against Silverfall again, but I will try.

Not really feasible as a 'nation', given the lack of numbers. Battles would consist of a few of your guys taking out hundreds of enemies before being overwhelmed or escaping using a deus ex machina teleporter thing.

Unless there's one nearby, no. They don't guard these things, they leave them in random places.

Forgive my bluntness, but for an advanced magical race they aren't very intelligent.

We'll wait for Thrash's decision on this, of course. Personally I can't see it working, but he might view the situation differently.

That's explained in my Factbook.

If you look at Rules 2 and 3 of the Guidelines, you'll see Thrash has already made a ruling. An entire nation of all-powerful mage types yanking portals out of the wild blue yonder?

You're jumping to a lot of conclusions. One, they're only going to be maybe a few thousand of them if not less. Two, they aren't a nation, the Elden don't typically live together and will be broken and scattered for all practical purposes, living amongst other races (assuming they're allowed to). There being such a small number, they will be slightly more power to make up for lack of numbers, they're not immortal as you seem to think. Three, these portals take time to construct, like maybe a month or two, so if that's 'yanking portals out of the wild blue yonder' I'd have to say your people are very slow to react.

I see this being feasible in a very limited fashion. I had actually intended to create something similar to these teleporters you are alluding to, but I don't think that's a good enough foundation for an entire kingdom and race. Its a cool idea, but again, not one I see working towards a foundation for an entire people.

If you'll work with me, I have another idea that will fit perhaps with what you are trying to get at. I'll send you a TG with my IM email so we can talk real quick if you like.

The race you describes reminds me a bit of the Rock Trolls that he created in the series. Also, tone down a bit the wide-spread use of magic. I'd prefer you limit your majority be skilled at simple healing magics rather than anything more than what you have within the "Aurak" class.

This looks very intresting. Could I join as a pre-steam nation, on the very Eastern edge of the map? Kinda like a more up to date mongol horde, with guns but still relying on horses such?

A possible compromise regarding Greywatch's race might be that all his portals are dotted around the map, but that they are inactive? Make up something about a system crash, something connected to the event that scattered his race? Individual portals could be temporarily reactivated by his race, but would require time-consuming activation ceremonies.

Compromise created

Greywatch and I already came to a mutual agreement.

Details?

Instead of being some outer-world race who have teleport magic/tech he is instead going to be a group of High Elves directly descendant from the same High Elves who were once the servants and soldiers for the Gods of Light during the War of the Titans. They are a dwindling people, very few in number, but wield considerable power.

For in times beyond remembrance they once created portals around the world for travel, when the old Elven Empire stretched from the Icy Wastes to the Barbaric Southlands. They were charged by the gods to be the guardians and protectors of these portals, lest they fall into evil hands.

Because of their lineage and forefathers, their armour and weapons are beyond the ken of normal men or elves to create, matching and surpassing even the craftsmanship of the elves. They are the silent guardians who watch from their hidden city over Eldire and only take part in its affairs when all the free peoples of the world are threatened.

Ok. It'll probably take a little time to write the fact book for my side, and I may change it quite a bit in the next day or so.

For one thing, my guys are physically stronger than ordinary humans, so longbows are a logical weapon despite clashing with a roman theme.

Also, I'm going to place my territory in Evermoors and Malchest, between the Empire and Kingdom of Hospitlar on the map. Nothing their right now. It'll start in the plains or whatever that open are is, and extend down both banks of the river to the sea.

Thrash, are the trolls the kind that turn to stone during the day?

Nope. These are more in line with Forgotten Realms style trolls. Ever read the Drizzt books?

@The Romulan Republic: Not a problem. Just have your factbook up whenever you can and I'll look it over.

@ Everyone: I'll be changing the map according to the claims and adding in anyone I might have missed in the last round of map additions. The OP will be updated with all names, factbooks, and other links necessary. IC post is forthcoming in the Age of Reckoning thread that will continue to involve more and more of you, so please keep an eye on it.

I request the following territory:

Starting at the Empire's eastern most point, go strait south to the river. My northern border is the river, my western boarder is a curve extending from the river to the northern border of Kingdom of Hospitalers. My southern boarder is the river, and my eastern boarder is some miles past the big river that flows through the Empire into the sea.

If thats ok.

Gunpowder is allowed within the rp, however there is a limit to it. The most advanced form of handgun within anyone's arsenal is the arquebus, or its equivalent. Effective only under about 20to 30 yards, and slow velocity levels means that it may not always penetrate armour, etc. Every other form of gunpowder using hand weapon that is lesser in tech than the arquebus are also allowed. As such, weapons like the longbow and crossbow remain effectively the most widespread indirect form of weapon. Cannon are allowed, but they're the mostly confined to siege warfare or use upon man-of-war ships and are of the smoothbore nature, not rifled. Again, anything bellow that description in tech of cannon is also permissible.

How do I make a fact book? Sorry if this is a really dumb question.

Just check out the ones in the first post of this thread and you'll get a good idea.

Just check out the ones in the first post of this thread and you'll get a good idea.

Ok then, here goes:

The Republic of the Star is a nation in the central regions of Evermoors and Malchest. It's legends tell of a founder who came from the stars, settling with his people in the region of Evermoors. He used his unsurpassed knowledge of science and healing to save his people and gather followers, eventually building a small city near the river that his people came to call the (translation of "little river" in latin). Establishing a profitable river trade, they were able to hire mercenaries and merchants who wandered the wilds, giving land and gold in return for service. Eventually many settled permanently with their families. Overtime the numbers grew, though it retained a small population for its size. Following a successful war with a neighboring feudal state in its 105th year, it gained control of direct access to the sea. Its second Protector ordered the construction of a port fortress at the river mouth, and commissioned the beginnings of a navel fleet.

Government: The Republic is subdivided into 10 territories, each of equal population. Each town is ruled by an elected council, which elects a representative to the regional council, which in turn elects a Senator to the national assembly. The Senate elects the Protector for a term of 10 years, during which time the Protector has total control over the military and foreign affairs. However, a two-thirds vote of the Senate can remover him for Treason, Nepotism, Marital Misconduct, or Interference in Senate Affairs. If such a vote is cast, the Senate will determine a succsesor, usually the speaker of the Senate. The Senate and councils control most domestic affairs.

Currency: The Republic uses bronze, gold, and silver coins.

Biology: Population is 65% Humans (12 % of the founder's race, which is longer lived and often of higher IQ), 15 % Elves, 15 % Dwarves, and 5 % other.

Military: the military is divided into divisions (3 per region, 2 standing, 1 reservist), and legions (5 per division). A legion is composed of 8 companies, each numbering roughly 100 men. Thus total military strength is roughly 24000 standing and 12000 reservists(may be altered based on pop. I'm assigned). This discounts local militia's, official's personal guards, the navy, and the merchant marine. Total military force is likely close to 60000, with 2 days total mobilization time thanks to magical means of communication.

Each legion contains two companies of light cavalry and/or horse archers, and four companies of infantry. Infantry fight with a mix of pikes and short stabbing blades, moving in formation and sheltering behind shields. However, each company contains a corps of Longbow men. Also, each legion contains two companies of logistical and siege support units. These include lightly armed guards, servants, engineers, and artillery. Until recently, they used Ballistae and Trebutchets, but they have now advanced to using primitive cannon in a couple of eliet legions. Magically crafted chemical weapons are popular ammunition.

Though they have a lower level of magic users than some in their population, magic is tolerated as long as its users register with the state. They are then permitted to work in various professions, but can be called upon to fight at short notice. Mages are used for coordination(telepathy, precognition, scrying), as healers, as personal guards, as spies and assassins, and to cast wards around defences.


The navy fields 12 large transports, 15 galleys, 2 caravel type vessels, and dozens of other smaller vessels. Each vessel carries marines who fight with javelins, short blades, axes, and Greek fire equivalents.

Sorry. He said base off first post so that's what I did. If I missunderstood I'm sorry.

If your still accepting players for this, I would like to join in actually. Tannelorn lends itself to fantasy well without much modification, though my idea for this is much different. I am not at all picky on the type of land I get, so long as its large, contains one central plain, a hell of alot of mountains and one large forest, preferably on one of its borders. A wasteland bordering it would be nice as well.

My nation will be much like my FT one, a confederacy of kingdoms under one high lord, mainly numenorean humans [high men] Sun elves, Wood elves and Moon elves [who were practically absorbed by the men after their own kingdom collapsed.] I will be using D&D canon, Forgotten realms style to the T. So if High magic is out, let me know fast. Otherwise I will be avoiding such sillyness as dragon riders and the like. One serious question though, are we allowed to choose any gods we wish? or are there pre set gods for the world Thrashia.

ygod then some, make some up! mines the Earth father, god of metal mining and all things earthy, bow before his power!

Otherwise I will be avoiding such sillyness as dragon riders and the like.

Since you're combining Roman themes with medieval technology, I'd be thinking more along the lines of light repeating ballistae on pivot mounts.

@The Romulan Republic: First time for slip-ups for everyone my man. Like the man said, just create a new thread and then post the link here. If you will read the factbooks I have linked in the first post you'll see some of the different formats that people use.

@DVK Tannelorn: Forgotten Realms is always welcome for a source. High magic is fine, just remember to rp it correctly (stamina, etc). As far as dragon riders go, in Eldire dragons are a dwindling race with few known to be in existence. Those that are alive are either slumbering in their hidden caves or under the control of mighty warlords.

I wonder how humans will see my race of "very large lizard men"

Utterly alien, and therefore threatening.

Personally, I don't usually like lizardmen in fantasy, apart from Warhammer-esque low tech, and the height differences are a little uneven. I think that the ruling classes should generally be smaller than the warrior class, but more intelligent.

You mean the weapons on my corsair ships?

Given that I wasn't referring to you, I probably don't mean those. I was speaking to Romulan Republic.

meh oh well I listed avg's specfic characters could be bigger or smaller..

Well i'm heading back home for the next three days. My home has really bad internet connection so i won't be posting as much but i'll try.

so much going on in the world, and im stuck on my peninsula do nothing :(
i like it!.

also, whos the owned of the great goblin whore above my dwarven lands of lordenorsomething..

Apparently some crazed army under the spell of a demon is marching my way...luckily unlike the humans at least my regulars are 7ft tool etc etc...still I think an alliance is needed to throw back the horde...question is though is there some "good" magical item to defeat the demons power, since apparently the deamons power turns weaklings into super warriors..

Can people still join? Because I would love to play as a human race. I'll take any small amount of land left.

Just one question, would there be gun powder starting around yet?

INdeed. Unless Naggeroth comes in soon, my Kingdom will have some trouble holding back that Orc horde, though thankfully that is all I have to worry about.

Gres there is to my knowledge plenty of land...and the gunpowder issue has been dealt with cannons only used as siege weaponry and on ships, no firearms apart from the arquebus, which means crossbows and longbows are going to be a better bet to use in battle apart from the loud noise and smoke produced...

@ New Greston: There's still plenty of territory.

Thrash...Just curious is there some relic that could defeat this demon..or what?

Surely some ultra horde isn't going to conquer the entire world this early...I hope...

For a comparison of what this horde is capable of, consider the Black Crusades of Warhammer.

so basically we have to somehow defeat them, and then march on their homeland so they dont return 13+ times...?

Give me any bit of land you want. My name will be the Kingdom of Ondire. I make a factbook soon.

Attention to Telros, Kewen, Blub, and Nine. Messengers have been sent to you to meet at Malta island, the big island next to the small island, to discuss about the bad things that are going on. I try to set up a thread about the meeting, hopefully by tomorrow.

ah the humans rally..maybe...

Would it be possible for me to join?

I'd like to make an undead empire somewhere in the east...if thats okay...

I'd like in too. Gimme some land in a far eastern region. I'll put a factbook through as soon as I can. I wanna base my land off of the ancient Chinese Empire, if it's any help.

ok hospitaler, i have been attentified.

I would like to join this thread >^.^<
I will write a fact book shorty :)
My kingdom's name is The Drow Nation of Mel'mtor.
I will look through the available territories as I am writing my fact book.
-Thanks ^^

@Thrashia, I reincarnated Incognitia just for this...looks interesting, so it does.

Provisional factbook up here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14089677#post14089677)

Incognitia, in brief outline, is a nation of primarily men, with a sizeable minority of dwarves to be found in the coastal cities, and of course in the mines...

For territory...on Cannae/Mohaut, working round from Ithilar anticlockwise, there's a small island (now Island 1) just south of an inlet; followed by another lone island (Island 2), then a group of 2 islands off the SE corner (Islands 3 & 4). There are then two more islands (5 & 6) nearly touching a peninsula, then a lone island (7) which is the last before Prazinia.

Having set the scene, I'd like to claim the lands East of a straight line between Islands 2 & 6, as just described.

Now for a little more detail on the planned nation, society etc; a fairly liberal (in a 17th century sense) mercantile nation, with a strong and capable navy for the protection of trade, and an army which, except the hardened border regiments, is more capable of standing ceremonial guard and backing up the Watch in a riot than hard fighting.
The government consists of elected Assemblymen, with the vote held by all sentient males capable of being oath-bound and meeting a given property qualification - so not the demonic, but certainly including the dwarvish minority. In one well-publicised case, with magical assistance to permit him to express his views, a particularly wealthy cat has exercised the vote. Some women are thought to see this as a little insulting.
Command of the Navy is held by the High Admiral, a form of dictatorial post in the gift of the Assembly, but specifically precluded from control of the Army; it is however frequently granted for life, and carries substantial patronage.

Magic in Incognitia is widespread at low levels, through the fact that many can summon magical forces, and once a magician has written an effective spell, many can use it. The most complex spells tend to function like a computer program, being composed of many simple elements looped, branched and combined to make a more complex result. There is however a limit on the sentience or destructiveness both of any one spell, and on how many spells a given magician can operate at any one time.

I would deffinately have ships sailing out that way, how ur dwarves percieve a massive lizard like humanoid is an entirely different story..

Wouldnt care, so long as you dont do any magic in front of us, and or be disrespectful of the earth god and mention other gods >.> we are very touchy.

Dude, yours was already approved. I know because I used as a rough format template.

hmm, I guess I didn't read the last three pages closely enough.:(

well now, this strikes my fancy.

given the tech level, this is the perfect opportunity to reuse the original Angermanland [err, pretending that i developed the stuff i got of Incog in that RP by my self :D]

an actual fact book will have to wait until after I've had some sleep, but will be an appropriately tweaked version of the one from back when we invaded Aust.

magic would run something like this:

Spells draw power from the caster.
Using correct diagrams, the caster may cause them to draw power stored in artifacts
use of elemental spell components and sympathetic gods and inevitables may allow for external power to be drawn from those sources.
Spells containing less than five components are less focused, less controlled, and Will draw enough power to take effect, even if the caster cannot sustain supplying the energy required. This can lead to death. The more elements contained in a spell, the more energy required. The greater the effect, the more energy required. The more the spell works contrary to 'normal reality', the more energy required. Spells cease having their effect if they lose their source of energy. Non-autonomous spells will fizzle if they lose their caster Or their energy source [often the same thing]

i also have a list of the spell components and what they do.

location.... either islands or landlocked, but beyond that i really don't care where.

so, yeah, if that's acceptable, and once I've got some sleep, I'll do up a proper fact book.

for now, I'm going to go read all the ongoing threads. :)

well, I've slept... and come to an annoying realization.
i can't write up my fact book properly until i know where i'm going to be geographically.

anywhere landlocked or particularly cold is going to require more significant work on my part to adapt the old fact book.

[time passes]

further inspection has lead me to conclude that the best place to put Angermanland would be the group of small islands south of the Witching Isle which form part of the division between the Gulf of Ancients and the Middle Sea, by the straight leading to the Endless Blue.

also as many near by islands as seems fitting.

and now i got to actually write my fact book.

i notice that the Witching Isle isn't actually an island, at least according to the map...

i mention this because someone noted that they couldn't find it.

I dont see anyone called Mel mtor on the map or beginning page.

EDIT: Ah, he put in a claim first a page back. Yes, he is within marching range. But, it will take some time to get to him still. Distance is not something easily covered with vast armies.

I know this...luckily I have nothing but time..

Free United States, in the Ripples thread, what is this line referring to:
"From above, a lookout spied something on the horizon, a strange bulge of some sort..."?

my ships, or something else?

also, Golugan's post immediately following that one just puzzles me.

I know this...luckily I have nothing but time..

Remember, the rule of thumb is one league ~ one hour on foot on flat terrain and five hours on rugged terrain while burdened. Course, (living) armies don't march constantly, but the Undead don't march as fast, so I think it balances out.

Remember, the rule of thumb is one league ~ one hour on foot on flat terrain and five hours on rugged terrain while burdened. Course, (living) armies don't march constantly, but the Undead don't march as fast, so I think it balances out.

Indeed. And do remember people (EVERYONE) that I did add a measurement bar at the top left corner of the map for distances. 1 league = 3.4 miles.

@New Greston: You're south of the Free Cities, north of the Goblin Federation, and east of the Kingdom of Aldarland.

Well quintus, you may indeed have cities, dead ancient cities where the undead act as they do in life, its pretty clear in alot of Canon of undead that often happens. For instance in Dark sun, there were a few cities filled with the dead, who did indeed continue to act as they did. Also in Warhammer fantasy, in Khemrian cities often skeletons wander about from place to place acting as they did when alive.

Also a little note, Tannelorn directly north of you is plagued by undead in many of the "crown lands" [lands gained after the formation of the country, the nation is twenty five hundred years old and any land gained after fifteen hundred years ago is "crown land"] Many cities are filled with undead from the detritus of wars, as well as civilisations that Tannelorn destroyed [a dwarven culture, that worshipped abathor and an aborted orc civilisation] are literally undead haunted wastelands, far to the east..pretty much bordering you.

This may give Lord Soth a few good reasons to try to take those lands, or simply try to have the undead spill out and invade again. Historically Necromancers have always snuck about those lands trying to raise undead hordes for their own dark ends..perhaps these necromancers hail primarily from the forsaken lands? The only thing in those [ex dwarven/orcish] lands are the hardiest of trappers, miners and foresters protected by a few knightly orders and their own strong arms. Even the ruins of the Moon elf civilisation of Rillith Tormal is far less dangerous then the eastern reaches. Food for thought Quintus, just trying to give some good ideas.

Yes it would be...I could become myself or by rasing minature undead hordes a thorn in your side...or something along those lines..that or some groups of the necromancers and such within your lands could be exiled from mine..for one reason or another.

It's an opportunity for a fun little RP, in any case. The outcome could be either the annihilation of an undead horde, or the loss of a portion of Tannelorn's territory to an independant dark wizard, or a necromancer sent by Lord Soth.

Yup, generally this happens all the time though, for instance every hundred years on the anniversary of its death, a massive undead dwarf horde goes out to fight the undead orcs, and to invade Tannelorn again. Generally we know its going ot happen [as its happened five times] and are prepared, we are sort of undead specialists, however this is an event that regularly happens in Tannelorn, and since Quintus is the undead nation, and literally borders the haunted lands themselves, it would make alot of IC sense that he was the source of these necromancers.

Of course Tannelorns own nature kept them from really figuring out that an undead realm exists below them, as well as inside of them. To tannelornians, the dead are a fact of life, we dont consider any idea of "ending" the threat, as in the case of the dwarves, their very grave dust reconstitutes them, thanks to their curse. Also Icly, we are up for another dwarven invasion of undead within a year or so icly. All this info might be very useful to Quintus as well as others..as it is possible the dwarves may change their minds on what they do..if a powerful undead figure manages to come to command them.

Also Quintus would Know all about the undead in Tannelorn, in fact Soth being a knight of the black rose he may take particular joy in destroying the lonely knight orders that reside in the east.

Wait, what am I called?

I'm interested, as MT rping bores me. How is the activity here?

Alrighty, im liking that. Quick question, if you conquer another nation do you take their land on the map?

@New Greston: You said to name your nation "Ondire".

@ Tristan: We're very active, and yes if you manage to conquer another nation, you claim their land.

What land is not claimed? And how does the population work?

I know i am limited on the number of undead soldiers I can field, but if I were to hire mercenaries or the like would this allow me to bolster my numbers higher than 40,000? similar to how in LOTR their are the human tribes that fight with the orcs and such..?

Yes, mercs would be a plus to the original 40k. Problem being that you would need to find some.

Check the map on the OP (Opening Post) of this thread and as far as population, once you've made a claim and a factbook, I'll look at it and either approve it or ask you to make small changes, and once approved, give you a suitable population.

I was just wondering, perhaps at a later point I could find some besieged humans and offer them a promise of eternal life, gold, land etc etc and get them to fight for me...humans are after all the easiest to corrupt...or I could perhaps persuade some orcish, or lizard men to fight beside me...since they too will most likely not be accepted by humanity.

Do you just want a paragraph or two on my nation, and then some facts? Or a whole factbook. Cause im going to need to know what my population is and where I am before I can make my usual factbook, heres my MT one to show you how all out I go with them: http://tristanprovidence.webs.com/

And that map is confusing I'm not gonna lie. I'm guessing that everything that is not surrounded by dashed lines is open right?

Aye, thank you, I'll just wait for a reply on the other post and then I will get to work on a factbook. I have a plot of land picked out in my head.

Oh shit, I did?

Well then here is my, um, factbook.

Writer's block, sorry. I just can't think on a reply of quality to each of the RPs here involving Prazinia.

Maybe next weekend, maybe not. I'm a slow paced RPer who prefers to post in quality rather than quantity.

I plan on doing a coming of age thread for one of my main characters by having him kill a bunch of goblins. Any of who plays as goblins up for something like this?

New Greston, where is your kingdom located? Perhaps we can do something together. I plan to have my Emperor's Son leave my empire on a little expedition, so maybe we can work something out?

That would be Aperture Science...wherever it is he went off to...

@Argentaria: He's about 5,440 miles directly west of you, ie 1,600 leagues.
