Eordae World Builder (OOC/Sign Ups)

[Mesrane]

Your nation's worst crime spree/criminal ?

[Yathien]

While Mes probably could have said it better, he has been saying please post for a while now.

I think this highlights the bigger issue of the RP, no one is active. We need to get people involved, we have like 3-5 people posting regularly out of over a dozen registered players. We need something to encourage others to get active.

I am as Active as i can be, I have university to deal with, and keeping tabs on the game, i'm just waiting for the IC to start up.

[Yathien]

Idk. I say we go back to worldbuilding. We certainly seem to like that a lot.


So. I am going to post questions about your various nations and ask about certain aspects and whatnot, in an FB&NI-style system. Okay.


#1:


Describe the architecture in your nation!

It is, Very unconventional, ranging from Colonial Anglo-Canadian style, to the modern High rises and appartments

#1:

Colonial style houses are most common in the modern day. Romanesque is still quite popular.

Besides that pre-1600 Nyssa has fluctuated between Celtic (wood huts ) to roman-ish to Gothic and then a weird Romanesque-Renaissance hybrid.

The greatest novel to come out of your nation?

[Bering]

Maybe we should go back to working on a global history?
Since a good portion of our active players are from the Aredian-Dorjannan continent, let's start there right after the fall of the Arcasan empire at the start of the After Empire Era. That seems interesting and interactive enough.
What do you guys think?

The IC has started up. It's been going since before you joined and we've pointed it out to you numerous times.

We should yes.

Also are you going to put that poll up?

I was thinking of giving it a few weeks and see if anything works before pulling that out

Let's see, on 1 AE, William Armis has just become Krigster and is currently fighting the barbarians (who I believe Whiteshore controls) out of Arcas. The barbarians (whose names and clans Whiteshore has) are currently spread throughout Aredia Major carving out their own little kingdoms while fighting the new states (many of whom are Donerist) that are springing up from the ashes of the old empire. Aredia Minor is largely free from this turmoil except for a few invasions launched by the barbarians that have had mixed results.

Everyone good with that?

[Whiteshore]

Meanwhile in Zhouran:Tiang Dynasty Loyalists have banded together under General Kao Fung to resist the Great Taichan Empire's assault on Zhouran as Kao Fung proclaims himself founder of the Qian Dynasty but only has control over the Southern portion of the country as the Taichan Khan, who controls the North, proclaims himself founder of the Fian Dynasty.

[Kassaran]

The Alysian Isles in 1AE have now begun to explore the isles to find the other rumored colonies that exist. Varied reports come back of large land masses with hostile inland deserts and lush fertile coastline with mountainous terrain near impassable without a native guide present that separates the two. Salt production on the big island of Alysia Firus begins making for an interesting trade option when the isles have been fully mapped.

[Mesrane]

Nyssa in 1 AE has seen almost a century since the last Arcasan legions departed the country. The Clans have been left to their own devices but already face another invader: The Marukhati Horde from the Dorjanian Steppes. The Nyssans have been combating the threat for several years now but Marukhati hegemony over the majority of Nyssa seems inevitable. Still, resilient insurgents cling to mountaintop fortresses, and ambush smaller columns in the valleys below. While a conventional military victory for the Marukhati is essentially already a reality, they have failed to take the capital Endusal through repeated sieges. And with hordes to the north slowly retreating back into their steppe homelands, the Marukhati find themeselves increasingly isolated among Aredians, and this has called into question the durability of the Horde.

Now that we are off to a good start, let's consider how we want to do the timeline:
I was thinking maybe cover a decade per post and after 3-4 posts on that decade we move to the next one. Timeskips when necessary and anyone who misses some time can make it up in a larger posts covering the current decade and all decades he missed. That way we can stay somewhat in step while we do this.

Also I was thinking, perhaps we should consider joining a region? An OP from another thread (and a member of this RP) asked me to join his region. I was thinking perhaps we could use that as a community for all of us to be a part of that lets us interact more and recruit more players for the region

I'll be staying in my region for now if we do follow that course of action, but anyways I will be posting tot he timeline ideally with everyone else...

Alright, no problem. Just an idea.

2AE - 10AE
Arcasan Legions make steady gains over the course of the decade culminating in the battle of Stonedale on 9 Vyver 8 AE where the last major horde was broken and the legions were able to reestablish the old Imperial border. After the battle Krigster William makes peace with the major tribes of the area. The legions begin to fortify the border and old legion wall. William finalizes the reforms of the Imperial administration such making the bureaucracy a smaller, robust system. The Arcasan Navy experiences its worst loses ever after the Krigster orders them to reduce the size of their navy. Hundreds of ships were burned, sunk, and run aground after the war, the smaller Arcas no longer needing them. Other rights are reaffirmed with the Armis Riht, emulating the Yndsen Riht, it establishes the laws of the state and rights of men. Most of the laws are inherited from the Yndsen era, the rights given were expanded. The Riht allowed free travel from the countryside to cities while under the Yndsens it was restricted to prevent cities from having starvation and opened up positions in the administration to all Arcasans.

5AE

The main Isles of the Alysian Isles have now been fully mapped, with many smaller outlier masses being left to individual interpretation, these maps will continue to be used for many centuries until the invention of the Eordaen Compass allows for more accurate surveys to be taken of the land. Fifteen major tribes have risen up out of the crumbling ruins of society and have put into place a strict control system involving the annihilation of the older generations of the many dozens of smaller tribes under their influence. This allows for young people to learn the trade of their family before moving on without suffering too much in the way potential uprisings. The usage of the religion in the Alysian Isles allows for the upper echelon tribes to maintain control over the dozens of smaller tribes and set forth the founding values for Alysian Society so many years later during the Great Alysian Reconstruction Era.

2AE

Djeran Parak founds the fledgling Kingdom of Parak, taking the name "Nogyuz" (parakian for "all") as his new given name. With a population of about fifty the small kingdom is mostly insignificant.

9AE

Nogyuz Djeran dies of an unknown illness at the age of 54. His son, crowned Nogyuz Djeran Parak II, takes the throne at the age of 28.

10AE

Parakian king Nogyuz Djeran Parak II invades and annexes the neighboring kingdom of Jocyuzia, starting the century-long Parakian Conquests.

Fair enough to me. Anyhoo . .

2AE-10AE

The Marukhati, led by Khan Serik, continue to press into Nyssa and migrate to the country in large numbers. At this point the clans are all but defeated in the field, and several clans begin to fracture as some nobles surrender to the Marukhati and pay homage to them in the interest of finding peace, while others take their households and retinues into the tearmainn uachtair, the upper valleys of the Carennen Mountains, where Nyssans were able to successfully resist complete occupation for the duration of the twenty-year Marukhati rule over Nyssa. Many die in the deadly Turas Brónach, or Sorrowful Journey, in which thousands of Nyssans freeze to death in the passes of the Domhain Range, when they successfully fled a Marukhati Army and escape into the upper valleys in 7 AE. Grandmaster Donnchad Faircaster of Clan Tarennyn unsuccessfully appealed to King Gerulf II of Menwarter for assistance, but this was never answered. Faircaster layed a "curse" against Gerulf, and indeed the King died the following the year and Menwarter was invaded and annexed by Halter by the close of the decade. As sporadic fighting continued, the Marukhati attempted to integrate Nyssan nobles into their tribal system, with very little success. With Khan Serik's heirless death in 10 AE, the first signs of infighting began to show among his generals.

I don't think Rechsmark has even formed as a nation yet, much less have a king

[Marsisian]

Mars, I have a question. How is Belka federal and unitary at the same time?

Then I'll just call it a federation instead

[Graknopia]

this just in: nukes are fun

[Bering]

Sorry for not being on today, other things kept me busy. You don't need to wait for me to get on before starting a new decade, you can do it after 3 or 4 people post. Also I am having some writers block on Arcas, so I think I'll take this decade off for now.
Someone else can start 11-20

[Whiteshore]

I could start it with Taichan expansionism.

[Victoriala]

• Independent civilization from Jayanesian sailors (before rise of Zhou? pre-AE?)
• Founded under the Perwilan Empire and the Halimawa Kahara
• Same origins as Sri Payaka
• Culturally Burmese-Mauryan (contrast to Payakan Indonesian-Pallava), race similar to the Nepalese
• Monarchical Theocracy, Racha (king) rules over Southern Halmoni Guidelines
• Links with traditional Nyaland and Jayanesia primary foundation

11AE

The Parakian Conquests are in their full swing, with invasions of the Duiids, Yogolites, and Zaphyrrids underway. Nogyuz Djeran Parak II leads his army from 10AE-13AE, drastically expanding the influence of the Parakian Kingdom.

13AE

Nogyuz Djeran Parak II dies in combat. The kingdom is inherited by his son, Djeran Parak III. The Conquests are drastically ramped up, with Djeran III launching half a dozen military expeditions within two years.

15AE

The Conquests meet their first roadblock as the vast Empire of Irrinia declares war upon Parakia. Brutal fighting breaks out between the Parakian and the Irrinians in the bloodiest war to date.

19AE

After four years of fighting the Parak-Irrinian War ends with the entire Irrinian realm annexed into Parakia. This marked the single largest expansion of Parakia in a single war yet.

20AE

Shortly after the conquest of Irrinia, the Rina Rebellian rises up in former Irrinia City against the Parakian conquestors. Djeran III leads his soldiers into battle and successfully puts down the rebellion, but dies of injuries sustained in the battle a month later. His only heir, Djeran Parak IV, takes the throne.




Map of Parakia in 20AE:

Parakia in red, near the center. Other various kingdoms of the time are colored. Not much other land in modern day Para was habitated at the time. This changed later.
