A Brutal Rise (OOC, Fantasy, Tribe/Town RP, OPEN)

Postby Alliir » Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:11 pm

"A world filled with consequences and evils, but praised with beauty and love, is one in which greed festers"

Welcome! Though the intro is a bit cliche, it fits the roleplay relatively well. Today, I've decided to write up a roleplay that I've had in my head for quite a while now. Hopefully it will gain attention, and if not, I'll be extremely irritated. But in any case, I will begin by explaining it in a bit more detail.

Gameplay/Concept
So, the roleplay takes place in a world where Orcs and Dragons exist, but in a slightly different form. Orcs are civilized, they rule tribes and small towns, and dragons died out long before the humans started to form coherent groups. At the time of the roleplay, Orc civilization is booming, humans have begun to form their own tribes, and the world is filled with dangerous beasts. This is where you come in. You are to rule a tribe/town, whether Orcish or Human, and rise to power. The future of this world, and the land on which you thrive, is up to you as player. If you wish to be a warmonger, and destroy all in your path, feel free to. If you wish to expand your reach through peace and diplomacy, go ahead. If you wish nothing more then to watch as the inferior Orcs or Humans burn, that's your choice. And so, join. I'd be ecstatic if you joined.

Orcs
Orcs are a six-foot, green skinned race. Though overall similar to humans, they have multiple differences, both in personality and appearance. Their faces are often rather flat and short, with two small tusks often poking out over the top lip. Though capable of diplomacy and peace, they are known to be rather easily angered.
In recent years, Orcish civilizations have been thriving. With three major factions rising to power, trade relations have grown and kingdoms are almost certain to spring up. Through this economic and cultural boom, Humans have begun to stake their own land, the most notable of which being named Keira. Although this time will provide comfort to both races, it also promises conflict. War is on the horizon.

Preset Factions(For LORE purposes)

Tagrut-
Tagrut is the most notable faction at this time. An Orcish town, it mainly exports wood from the thickly forested region it's located in. With the economic boom, it's relations with Ralk have degraded into a feud. Though neither town is willing to go to war, small conflicts along the border are common. Though it's citizens are not known to be fighters, it's large enough that it would take considerable military power to raid it.

Ragun-
Ragun is yet another Orcish town, found north of Tagrut and Ralk, set mainly into the mountain chain. Though it's on good terms with Tagrut, it continues to trade with both it and Ralk. It mainly exports stone, a valuable resource as tribes become towns and towns become kingdoms. It's defenses are well-set, with a wall enclosing most of the buildings.

Ralk-
Ralk is the oldest Orcish town, and there are rumors that it's founders caused the death of the dragons. Found just west of Tagrut, Ralk looks like a large fort, with stone and wood walls, Archery targets near the main gate, and an organised street layout. Set in a general circle, with civilian buildings closer in and military buildings near the wall, Ralk was made for war, and thus is not a town to take lightly.

Keira-
Keira is a major Human town, considered the human's trade hub. With a town square filled with markets and stores, and the occasional Tavern, few would disagree that it is the richest of the Human towns. Though not as well defended as the Orcish towns, Keira has an organised police force, which is capable of defending against petty thieves or bandits. As a Human town, it doesn't trade with the three major Orcish factions very often, but it gains considerable income from nearby tribes.



Rules-

No Godmodding. If I must, I WILL add your destruction to the Lore. I'd prefer to leave this to the other players, however.
No major Technological advances. In the original roleplay, somebody created gunpowder and decided to kill everybody because he could. This, and any similar incidents, will not happen here.
No major Lore edits. Although something small, like saying the founder/leader of your tribe helped wipe out the Dragons, is OK... I don't want anything major.
No Magic/indestructible beings. Magic isn't something you see in this world, and hasn't been since the Dragons. No enchanted armor, no mages. Same goes for huge beasts.
No Bullying/Flaming/Trolling. Although I dislike using the word Bullying, as it sounds childish, it happens quite a bit in competitive roleplays such as this. Take other player's feelings into account.
Keep things PG. As always, I don't need to hear about the love affair between Hulka and Friwen in Tagrut and Ralk.
My word is law. If I wish to call you out on something, I'm able to. Don't pretend that your Vibranium shields aren't godmodding.
Finally, the "Have Fun" cliche. Because I'm a hipster.

Tribe/town Name: Vaeloria

Leader: Morganus

Main export(s): Horses, various metals and minerals, some gems and jewelry, stone, wood (Note: Trade is not an integral part of Vaelorian society as they’re rather isolated)

Notable citizens: Catacus (Local militia leader), Drest (Head of trade), and more to be introduced later

Notable aspects: They live in mountainous and low mountainous terrain which makes them naturally hardy people (And gives them great cardio) thus they have access to lots of precious materials others couldn’t get their hands on. This also allows the Vaelorians to have an ample supply of stone to build their homes with.

General Layout/appearance: Built into the mountainside Vaeloria has the major buildings in the center of town and raised higher than any of the other buildings (Local palace, government buildings, etc.). The rest of the town’s buildings are spaced around these major buildings and this is enclosed by a twenty foot stone wall that surrounds the town. With a thickness of around eight feet at the base the wall poses a significant obstacle to any who would do the town harm. There are buildings outside the city proper but they are away from the walls to ensure they cannot be used to climb them. In the surrounding countryside there are small estates dedicated to training horses and growing crops.

Location: The area we discussed

History(Optional): I will most likely reference the past ICly

Main race: Primarily Humans, however there are some Orcs.

Population: 4,600


Tribe/town Name: Lhavhele
Leader: Holy chief Naroghos
Main export(s): Exports are illegal, but there is a early black market for obsidian from the volcano (Lhavel?).
Notable citizens: A rich human black market trader called "The Hawk".
Notable aspects: The city follows an almost fanatic cult of the nearby volcano (Lhavel?) which involves human sacrifice and strict following of the various ideals put forward by it, the most notable of which is the condemnation of trade and wealth. It's an isolated tribe and considers itself superior to the rest of the world.
General Layout/appearance: The city is one of stone, with the largest building being the temple, an round grey building with obsidian decorations covering it. The temple is built in layers on top of the ruins of the former one destroyed. Many people also live in the ruins of former houses, though many buildings are still unoccupied ruins. There is also a large library with old though largely intact books.
Location:


(Not sure if this location was taken already, otherwise I'll change things around)
History(Optional): Lhavele is one of the oldest and most isolated orcish societies. The city has had thousands of citizens at it's height, being one of the largest cities in the world, but has been decimated many times by the volcano nearby. This was seen as the wrath of the gods, so Lhavele spiralled from a fairly tolerant society to a theocracy over hundreds of years.
Main race: Orcs
Population: The fertility of the soil around the volcano equals 2300 citizens.
Map(Text, if necessary. Optional) See spoiler.
Top


Tribe/town Name: The Rynatooans
Leader: Inpir Rei I
Main export(s): Timber, clay, and stone. Have yet to discover large copper and iron deposits beneath their local hills.
Notable citizens: Eren Da La, closest adviser to the Inpir, and best friend.
Notable aspects: The village itself rests in a valley inbetween a hill and a massive mountain. The locals call it Mt. Reatra, after their god, who met with the wandering Rynainites and told them to settle in that valley. On the aforementioned hill, a wooden palisade protects the Inpir's hall. A clay and stone building with wooden turrets.
General Layout/appearance: Somewhat cramped. Ladders are necessary to travel around. But the cramped spaces make lots of room for farms along the river. (Imagine ancient Fertile Crescent cities but smaller.)
Location: I'll edit the map soon.
History(Optional): Nothing much. Recently founded by the Rynainites, Rynatoo has only been a "thing" for 11 years. So the inhabitants already knew of copper "smelting" (just putting them into a big fire) and stone building. Although only the Inpir and the Eren receive stone homes. With the new Inpir, Rynatoo promises to advance and expand from its fertile valley.
Main race: Human
Population: 936
Map: Image Big red dot[/quote]


Tribe/town Name: Dochardy
Leader: Rí Concobar
Main export(s): Timber, Stone, Wool
Notable citizens: Niall of Nine - Concobar's brother, adviser and friend
Notable aspects: The town was formed and has grown in a circular fashion, with most of its buildings being circular. Only the most important buildings - the Rí's hut, the Temple, the Barracks etc are made of stone, with the other being wood, clay or both.
General Layout/appearance: Quite spacious. With not many residents and quite a large area. The ground is covered in stone gravel, brought from the quarry.
Location: See on Map
History(Optional): The town was first established around thirty years ago, when a nomadic human tribe known as the Sons of Dochardy established themselves on the site. They done so when the Tía (High Priestess) Saoire told them to when she found a runestone in the middle of a large open space. She was certain it was a sign from the Gods and ordered a temple constructed around it, and the town grew from there. Since then, its population has expanded slightly, and the structure of command has expanded slightly. The village began quarrying stone from a location a few miles to the south-east, which they use to gravel the roads, streets and construct walls and buildings. Timber is cut from the forest to the north which is also used for construction and to make good from spear shafts to buckets, carts and ships. The stone and timber are also traded with nearby tribes and towns. Wool is also traded, and is produced in the hills around the town where the shepherds keep their flocks. The wool of the area is known for its high quality, and fetches quite a good price.

The townspeople are still unaware of the large silver deposits in the forest to the north.
Main race: Human
Population: 1200

Well, I'm definitely interested! It sounds like it would be fun.

I could maybe make a map for this using paint. But a question; what is the maximum number of people that can live in your town?

I'd say 1,000.

And no, I'd like to be able to edit it on the run. Easier to add new tribes.

App inbound. How many exports are we allowed to have, and what kind of exports would a fairly artsy tribe based between a river and a mountain range have? I'm thinking something to do with beads, like polished stone or carved fish bone.

As many exports as you want to spare. But if you become too independent on trade, your tribe may have issues if trade routes become dangerous. And as for the type, it's up to you, once again. Stone is valuable, and jewelery isn't that common within the Orcish tribes as of now.

As many exports as you want to spare. But if you become too independent on trade, your tribe may have issues if trade routes become dangerous. And as for the type, it's up to you, once again. Stone is valuable, and jewelery isn't that common within the Orcish tribes as of now.

Thanks, OP. What's the approximate tech levels for tribes/towns?

Sorry, missed the question the first time. Pre-bronze age.
Major things to note about me-

I'm feminist (Or Egalitarian, I guess)
I'm stupid.

Not necessarily in that order.

Tribe/town Name: Trishram
Leader: Virgelia
Main export(s): Fish, woven reed (things like fish baskets, bed rolls, and the like), stone.
Notable citizens: Leoric, Virgelia's son and heir apparent; Hargen, the blacksmith and rumored father of Leoric.
Notable aspects: In a defensible position, between Keira and a mountain range; flat lands to the north of the village. A very artistic and free-spirited people, the descendants of nomads. It's a very pretty place.
General Layout/appearance: A large fire pit in the center, with stone-founded houses circling it; this is where meetings are usually held, and where festivities take place. A few of the houses farther away from the center have farms in between them.

Population: Approximately 200 or 250, give or take. It's pretty tiny.

This better?

I might edit this a few times later on, depending on if this is acceptable or not. Added some flatlands because Nationstates was being a butt and wasn't letting the crazy amount of spaces put in there show up, if you don't mind. I can change it, if you do.


A bit high up on the map. Mind finding a similar location a bit farther down?

Maybe there instead? Just between the mountains, next to a pond/stream, and south of flatlands? Also closer to the Human town.

Had some extra time. This is the region I'm suggesting. If not, I'll save it for later.

Sure thing. I'll get to changing it. Also I would go ahead and add that to the map; looks good.

Changed it. Does it look okay now? It seems kind of vulnerable to me; though I suppose that befits a tiny little village whose main export is fish.

Looks perfect. And it isn't too vulnerable; It has three major mountains around a center-point of fresh water. If necessary, you could hold out on the inside for quite a while.
I'd like atleast two more apps before starting the IC, of course. Hoping to get them soon.

You can expect mine sooner or later, I just don't know where to put my village.
