In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Could I make a page for mine?

I'd hold off if I were you, just because you lack any real history. Wait until we're finished the next age.

Beginning the page for Qartha on the wiki, should I put up a page for the Excalaer, detailing some basic history?
AH, PMT, some FT.


Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate idealistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

Okay. As for Exalaer, sure, but don't do too much for history. I'll be doing a page on Regica and Neo-Regica, as well.

You made a wiki? I guess it couldn't hurt making a page about the Isim and their recent conquest but my history is really brief, but I did made a few impacts with the Isim.

Yeah. What I ended up doing is taking sections off of wiki pages like the Cimmerians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimmerians) and Mycenaean Greece, and I'm filling them in now. Expand on Isim lore, things like Prehistory, societal values, etcetera.

I know it's nearly impossible, but I kind of want the Excalaer and Qarthans to be related, like maybe some Qarthan refugees sailed off from Qartha, landed in mainland Europe, and eventually settled in Austria, intermingling with the locals to create the unique culture of the Excalaer.

I will wait on someone to do a complete page so I can use that as a example, but I know what will do with the history and culture and other things.

Ok, I will wait when I have some time and try and draft something before I start making the Isim's page.

It looks like in a couple turns the Roman Republic will be formed. It should be interesting to see if they can replicate their achievements in our timeline, or if we can hold them off.

Considering that the Punic Wars will be fighting against the Isim and also Rome will be fighting Anquila for the rest of Italy( and probably having the Isim start invading their land) then who knows what will happen if they come up or not.

The reason Rome got so big was because of all of its neighbours being small. With a massive neighbour like Aquilea, there's no guarantee Rome ever seriously expanding.

There is also the possible threat that the Isim might to try and invasion of Rome before the Romans can become an empire that can be a threat to the Isim.

Yes, but it wouldn't if the Watcher saw the future!( just to let you know, all of that was a joke and I was just kidding. Really that is not even my plan, but it would be interesting to see a Rome vs Sicily war with the Isim in their current power)

Alright, so the IC will hopefully be up at around 9 PM EST this evening. I've notified all Early Antiquity applicants that they are to be participating.

Also, who the hell is voting in the poll? There's ten participants and like thirteen votes.
