You lead a vast number. I do not know the term for all you rule. It is more souls than have ever graced my world. That is how I speak of it. They are many and they are different. Those I rule are few an different. Witches. Nymphs. Infernals. Humans. Starfallen. They are together. Those you lead are also together. But they are many more than mine. How do you bind them together when they are countless worlds apart and countless forms beyond?

Starlight Coven wrote:Your world has artifices. Things that are made and can seem to think. I believe this to be so. How can you trust that which is made and not born or incarnated? It is strange. I wish to know.
Starlight Coven wrote:My final question regards love. It is personal. You may disregard it. Love is complicated. It escapes understanding. You are an expert in it. I seek your wisdom. How does it manifest? And why is that of the many forsaken for that of the one? I am not passionate. These things elude me. I wish to better know them. But these things are often private. I will not intrude.
These are my questions. I will wait.”

Purpuriae wrote:"Is the concept of Divine Right recognized in Bloodshade? It's the belief that the monarch or leader derives all power from a divine being, in order to give legitimacy to his or her rule. In my Kingdom, the royal bloodline is descended from Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, through the birth of a man conceived between Her and a mortal. Crisanto was his name, and he was the first King of Purpuria. Since every other Purpurian monarch is descended from Crisanto, the divine ancestry is kept alive with every generation."
Hecate I (Xisela Alezandra Sofia de Crisanto), Queen of Purpuria
Purpuriae wrote:"Do you have magical academies in Bloodshade? In Purpuria, those are schools where individuals with magical potential can train to become qualified wizards. The oldest and most prestigious of such institutions is the Crisanto Academy for the Arcane Arts, but each county also has its own smaller academies, from which only the best and most promising students are accepted to Crisanto."

Bani Musandam wrote:"Good evening, Fair people of Bloodshade. I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking. I apologize in advance for any lack of knowledge, for our nations are quite different in terms of 'advancement'.
Seeing how you are a nation in the heavens, I must ask. If you come across a people top primitive, either in terms of technology or brainpower, to integrate but still smart enough to be considered a sapient being, how exactly do you go about... dealing with them. Are there special protocols or is it entirely situational? For that matter, are there any examples where such a thing was the case? I, of course, ask this because there is no way a tiny kingdom like mine could go up against beings closer to gods than men and win, so I must hope that the rulers of the sky are kind ones.
Bani Musandam wrote:My next question is a bit less existential. Roughly, how would you say wealth is divided in your nation?
Bani Musandam wrote:Lastly, I must ask. Does your nation have a plan for continuing after a catacylsm? As in, if your nation was mostly or totally wiped off the map by some force, does your nation have a plan to continue the current government, culture, and/or nation or would you all just proclaim that the end is nigh?"

Bani Musandam wrote:"Hello again. I have more questions if you do not mind me asking.
For starters, if a foreign nation, people group, religious group, or otherwise were to spread their brainthink (Philosophy/Ideology) or religion unintentionally/benignly through trade, conversation, or otherwise, would your nation do anything about that? If so, how would they? Conversely, if a foreign nation or group were to intentionally spread their brainthink or religion for the sake of instability or to gain influence over your nation, how would you stop that that?
Bani Musandam wrote:I could probably take a guess and say your people aren't exactly fervent believers. No offense meant. But, if I am wrong, what are the religious demographics of the nation of Bloodshade?
Bani Musandam wrote:The world I live in is a rather chaotic place, and yours isn't much different in that regard. It seems both of our nations need friends to survive. Who would you say are your important allies? And I do mean in strategic/political terms terms, for the record. Not accusing you of anything, it's just the last person I asked replied with 'the winter', the Suwfyatiu are a strange people.
Bani Musandam wrote:My last question is somewhat related to the first one. Has there ever been a time a nation has culturally 'shocked' your nation, only for that part to be integrated? I mean this in the sense that your nation came across some current/previous group with a radical idea that, while initially shocking, was eventually adopted by your people? This can be anything as simple as clothing and jewellery to perspective on life itself, though I doubt the latter happens all that often, if ever."

Kiu Ghesik wrote:So, an OOC question, or rather several OOC questions- I've noticed the Tercérito uses lots of man-sized robots to carry about equipment and heavy weaponry. Do they still use LMGs and other man-portable heavy weapons, or have automated weapons platforms fully removed the human factor from that role on the battlefield? And another question related toObama'sdrones- do the Difesameijala deploy autofactories or other such facilities to create these things in-situ, or are they shipped in from factories located behind the lines of battle?
Kiu Ghesik wrote:Do the Fànazio have dedicated intelligence-gathering spacecraft or AWACS-type information warfare vehicles, or are those roles filled by more multipurpose vessels? And lastly, do the Fànazio use drones in space combat? It seems like they would, since the Tercérito's got military-grade AI constructs readily available, but I don't see any mention of the Fànazio having any on smaller vessels- their AIs seem exclusively reserved for larger warships. Maybe it's just me not noticing, or maybe inter-branch communication is just really bad in the Difesameijala, and the Tercérito hasn't shipped the Fànazio their drones yet.
Kiu Ghesik wrote:And lastly, how does Alarielle feel about having a flagship class named after her? Has anyone asked? I hope they have, it'd be rather inconsiderate not to, after all.
