This thread is a sub-thread for the World of Eldire PT Fantasy RP (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=569186). If you are a member of the Rp then you may post at will here, though be warned that all matters herein pertain to all nations that exist in and around the region of the Gulf of Tobias.

Nations that are in the Gulf of Tobias Region
Quintus_I: Forsaken Empire - Kingdom of the Undead
Tannelorn: Divine Kingdom of Tannelorn - Men of Tobias
Tristan Providence: Kingdom of Providence - Men of Tobias
Mel'mtor: The Matriarchy of Idilumrae - Drow Elves of Tobias
Angenteria: Empire of Xao-Cian | Slanted-eyed Men of the Far East
The Romulan Republic: Star Kingdom - Kindred of Men
Gataway: Kingdom of Silvan Draconia - Lizardmen Kind
The Blub Colony: The Empire - Men of Caen

Alright! :D lol Gulf of Tobias Nations > everyone other region on Eldire :P Jk Jk

Oh yaaaa, Men of Tobias Unite!, Which is like two of us......

Well I have more half elves then anything but sure, men lol. Anyways those in the tobias region are encouraged strongly to post in Legacy <.< as its going to be a really good character RP. Anyone with any characters ie adventurers who is in the gulf would likely know of the Tannelornian adventuring hotspots. This RP promises adventure, excitement, a bit of war here and there...well ok alot of it.

So read the posts [the last one is most important] and join if you like swashbuckling adventure! <.< If you dont well...thats ok. Also I have now set up the thread where I send envoys to Star Republic, The Empire and Providence

Oh yaaaa, Men of Tobias Unite!, Which is like two of us......

True dat! Woops theres 3 of us, didnt see Tannelorn. BWhahahah!

TP, what's this Knight thread you made about?

The funny part is.. since nations moved in on either side of me, I've got nothing to do. All these people trying to make contact or sending out diplomats will meet them first. *rubs chin* This inactive Starfall kingdom really puts a damper on things.

Yeah. This is the time everyone decided to jump in at once (me included.) Everything gets clogged, and we have to get through the diplomacy before we can get to the exciting war parts.

It just feels like the two people who decided they wanted to be RIGHT BESIDE me are both inactive.

TP, what's this Knight thread you made about?

This is going to be how magic makes a mainstream into Providence. Most of the population is very suspicious of magic and anyone practicing it. They worship the God of the Forest and that’s about the extent of what magic they trust. Kyle is going to go on a little journey and come back a different person, and save the Kingdom from a much unperceived threat.

How was the first part of it anyways?

Hardly inactive...I even started posting about sending out riders in the tobais thread...I didnt want to send riders that far out so I didnt see a need for another thread...I got almost no replies....so now I have an emissary being attacked by undead...and frontier guards chasing some intruder from the east...

Wait, what Tobais thread?

As for the first part, don't get we wrong, you write really well. It's just that the post, RP-wise, left me kinda confused as to how to take to from where you left off.

Wait, what Tobais thread?

the IC regional thread...its linked on the recruitment thread..

Well the one knight thread, the story is actually a character RP that will link to something we are now planning for the gulf of tobias region, hopefully the undead, drow and draconians can see the sense in allying and invading us good guys before we get allied :p. Its the thread legacy on the main page, just invent a character, or perhaps decide to build one up you were thinking of and have them in the tavern to begin, I guarantee its going to start good, going to an undead haunted hell to find an ancient sword only to realise its not there, and instead a bunch of dead, funnily dressed foreigners. If you want Angenteria, you can use your explorer character, not yong he the other one in your thread in this, if he is an epic kung fu swordsmen, then he will be more then welcome.

Also rivals and villains can be used, Quintus is going to provide a necromancer or the like to plague us in Rillith Tormal. [the city.] It should be alot of fun, a big awesome character based RP to span the length and breadth of Eldire.But its a character RP that will take our characters around the world on an epic quest, war, death, destruction, romance the whole nine yards a high fantasy adventure.

Here is extending the Gauntlet [its supposed to be gauntlet] http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=569197


Now the thread i just linked, is me sending ships to my neighbours [or envoys.] that clear things up?

I just thought I should add that my race isn't necessarily evil...in fact honor and nobility are prized characteristics..however humans dont seem to like the 8 ft tall dragon men and so I would be likely forced into joining the ranks of evil instead..overall though I am neutral.

haha, well thats the point, is just a story not an RP, thats why its closed haha. But thanks :)

So I'm not seeing a link to the diplomatic thread? Can someone link me?

If you want Angenteria, you can use your explorer character, not yong he the other one in your thread in this, if he is an epic kung fu swordsmen, then he will be more then welcome.

...that's a great idea! To Legacy!

And don't worry about Jun, his epic kung-fu and chi skills will make him quite welcome.

@ TP: Ah, I gotcha. At first, I just thought closed meant it was closed to people who weren't in Eldire.

I would also like to point out that we are move active than any other regional OOC thread. Yay us!

Hey Blub Colony, what is your northern-most castle/fort?

Ok tristan, no problem here is the link..the link is for you too blub!!!!!

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=569197 Extending the gauntler <.< diplomacy thread lol.

If it doest not show up again, just search for Eldire, it should be there as extending the gauntler <.< i misspelled it as it was 6 am. Also Tristan, Tannelorn is a nation heavily ensconced with magic, not like Netheril or the like but more like Elven nations, or Aglarond if you know it. If your character wants to learn magic, he could join the legacy storyline later, and vice versa [as the stories could cross] After all Johan is an Eldritch knight, he knows magic, as well there will be other more varied types of magic users [including a sun elf bard] added quickly to that story who could teach him. That and well, Tannelorn is right next door.

Also Gataway, I responded in age of wreckoning, so feel free to respond any time. Same thing in the happenings thread Angenteria, if you guys are like me, work keeps you pretty inactive on weekdays lol, so its all good.

Finally for Quintus, Your death knight lord soth is a knight of the black rose. Perhaps as this is not krynn and Tannelorn [which has a hundred knightly orders] lies above you, how about we work up some backstory where he was a disgraced Tannelornian knight. Just an idea and it would explain the source of the necromancers and intelligent undead that rouse the hordes of undead that lie in the eastern lands.

EDIT

Ok my post in Legacy is completed, it is a long one [as all my "weekday ones" will be]. Take your time reading it, its got some character introductions, as well as a little more history. There are responses to your characters of course, Emardin going over and trying to help Knight Edan have a good time [which ought to be hilarious hopefully] and Johan trying to avoid talking to the Sun elf while striking up a conversation with Jun. Out of curiousity, what is Jun's preferred weapon?

apologies to all for slow/late replys...very busy during the week with work and what not..expect replies to be up sometime this evening or over the weekend

apologies to all for slow/late replys...very busy during the week with work and what not..expect replies to be up sometime this evening or over the weekend

and Tannelorn that would be a good idea...it would further intertwine our two nations...and my Necromancer that I am going to be sending will be Lord Ariakan one of three of Soth's underlings which were very close to him in his life before evil corrupted him the other is Lord Sinakus and Lord Targonne

Ariakan was Soth's right hand man and 2nd in command of the knights of the lily(which becomes knights of the black rose), he was Soth's most trusted advisors, well studied at the former schoolings and university's of the Empire, he would be most likely to travel the world looking for relics and such..so thats why I choose to send him

Sinakus was Soth's brightest and best understudy, Soth was the head of a Knightly order and also studied and taught various classical subjects including arcane knowledge, very knowledgeable and a diplomat, assissted in Soth's downfall by leading him towards Necromancy in an attempt to resurecct Soth's lost love. The most "compassionate" and "Compromising" of the three under lords

Targonne was Soth's enforcer and trained many of the Knights of the lily, a bit brash and far more cruel than the other Lords

All three assissted Soth in his escape following his fall from grace over the fact that he and the King's daughter had an affair, all three including soth were killed in battle when Soth led his ninth legion against the armies of the King in an attempt at vengence over her execution, soth was unable to revive her, and entered into deep depression and fell further into dark arts to bring back his lost lover, meanwhile the King gathered allies and eventually Soth and his three trusted lords were all killed in battle along with a bulk of the ninth the rest were executed.

Soth however came back as the day of the last battle he had enchanted himself with a dark spell in which he traded his soul for the power to come back to life, he was tricked however and came back as a dark image of himself when he thought he would be brought back in his current mortal state.

Just a summary of the three lords, and Soth himself...so you can add things into your nations history and I can add things into their backgrounds as needed.

Gataway I'd like to make a thread allying with your nation >=D. I'm thinking maybe you could send a diplomat or two who get captured but my Matron decides you're like a badass race and goes to ally with ya. post back or TG me with what ya think.

I'm not evil either lol the goddess I chose forces my nation to be this way XDD

Hey Blub Colony, what is your northern-most castle/fort?

>.>

<.<

Well, it's called the Forks Fort. It's set up to overlook a major ford across the river. It's several miles inside the border, as the Empire doesn't build its forts right on the border like other nations seem to. They don't like to fight from inside castles and such, they prefer to fight in the field.

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4141/fortzh6.png

The border itself is studded with basic watchtowers which serve as early warning. If some sort of enemy is marching on the border, the soldiers at the watch towers will simply pull out and go to the closest fort/garrison to warn them.

Forts tend to serve as hubs and garrisons which protect whole sections of the border. Forks Fort is set up like this, looking over the river and roads. The buildings are barracks for troops, stables, storage, grainaries, blacksmiths/armorers, a hospital and such. This one even has a pond and trees.

It's a VERY rough drawing.. I tried to make the drawing itself look somewhat medieval in that it's not 100% accurate.

The walls are curved inwards for a reason. ^.^

Angenteria, Tristan, it seems the Ravana Khanate [Ryou Black islands] is preparing an invasion and you two are the closest to his borders, big war brewing? He just put his thread up on the main ooc post, I will direct his attention here to post it as well.

What the crap is his problom? I havnt even finished my army list, cant he just rp? Thats all I wanna do right now. I might fire the IGNORE cannon on this one.I don't have enough time to have a war, I barely have enough time to do the two threads I am doing.

Plus if he wanted to have a war he needed to approve this with both of us. I say no cause I have no time, there is nothing in the rules saying I have to,im way to busy, sorry.

So, pending my placement on the map, I'll be just west of Angenteria, so I think that places me in this region...

*tag*

Plus, idk if he is actually invading us or just invading vacant land, or rping with someone. Other wise I really despise being forced into RPs.

Nope, still in the desert, and I dont think the tribal lands can be claimed either. I say this is best for you:

http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/avondalefilms/sugjest.jpg

Except my LONG back story involves the salt marshes and lake mourne as my nation's primary two sources of water...I would have to re-make parts of the treck over the hunon mountains, the great banded desert in the center, and...have dwarves that live nowhere near mountains.

And being flanked by large wasteland deserts and whatever is in the tribal lands (presumably tribes of sub-human species) would be perfect for my nations' general distrust of foreigners and 15th (I believe) century Japanese-like exclusion from the rest of the world.

If you want mountains go for the lands north of dardet.

Thrashia!

I was wondering if you'd at least consider placing me

there...

Would you please read some of my factbook and then tell me if you think I would like typical dwarves who live in lush green mountains?

They're descendants of Azers who escaped from the elemental plane of fire. The ancient first-city that is mentioned in there I plan on RPing later on people who discover the portal that they came from...

Sorry Tristan and understood, however I was just mentioning the location's that were being done. As it were the idea of that would be that we have a big
"first war" for Eldire to establish a politic, something we are setting up with the drow and the like, but truth be told if you do not have time for a war, then yes you should not be in it. That is why I told Ryou to come on to the gulf thread and start talking about it. To make sure he didnt step on any toes.

Ya, right now Im not ready to do a war. Once I get my story, or the rp outa the way then i can.

Yup, thats why i told Ryou to come on to this thread and start to discuss it with those of us who do,want a war and to include those who do.

Well, I would whole-heartily be up for a war.

Ok Christopher, I believe you are close to Ryou or the Ravana khanate, and he is assembling a great big war host to attack people. Get in contact with him and try to flesh it out. Also, here is my provincial map for my nation.

The stars are capitals, the circles are cities over fifty thousand and the green stars are ruins.

Also, my factbook is complete-enough to RP war, so I'll probably be sending scouts into Ravana Khante later today.

What do you mean what?

What is this "legacy" you speak of?

a thread.

Legacy is a character RP that is going to tie heavily in to some stuf happening in the southern gulf of tobias [around the actual gulf] as well as lead to exploration and fighting across the world. The early part of Legacy is going to tie in to our own war, so if anyone winds up needing aid against the khanates its likely that those around the gulf will be busy with drow and undead lol.

IC post is up, sry CT didn't know what you meant.

THeres Legacy, but thats an RP.

There will be some thrashia, sorry i have been offline so long, work and hardware problems..broken mouse making it nigh impossible to do anything on my old beater 'puter. Mel and Quintus are planning an invasion of me at the moment lol, but it hasnt started yet, i assume its cause they are waiting on quintus post, or for me to but really I was waiting for them to cross over in to my territory before responding to the plague rises.

Legacy should tie very well in to that, with Quintus death Knight Ariakan trying to rouse an undead army in rillith tormal.

XD hopefully we can pick up again soon really enjoyed threads :P
