To Shred an Empire (medieval-low fantasy/OOC/OPEN)

[Skaldia]

Seaguard?

I think they mean Segardis.
Arkotania is in control of them, and they haven't posted in the affirmative or negative.

I'll send em a TG and see what's what.

[Agadar]

Post is up.

Nice post, but Dhonmulir isn't the High Patriarch of Dornduar. His older brother is.

EDIT: I'm also not entirely sure what tension you speak of.

Proposed New House Members:

Diarmed Hand

Diarmed is Rowan's illegitimate son. He was born to the daughter of a Baron in the Uidhir Mountains. Rowan was 15 at the time, making Diarmed 16. Diarmed's mother died in childbirth. Furious, the Baron refused to keep Rowan in his hall and was to dash the babe's head. Lord Cahal convinced him otherwise, and made Rowan keep the child as a lesson.

Diarmed is an accomplished swordsman, and has been serving in his father's personal guard for one year, in training to enter the Blades. He has the jet black hair of his father, which he keeps long to his shoulders and often braided in some fashion. His eyes are hazel and he has a tall build with slender limbs and a wiry strength.

Oísín Dochaan

Lord Rowan's younger brother, a man of 23 years. He is a jack of trades - of sorts - processing many skills but not truely being vastly advanced than others. He is considered one of the more attractive members of House Dochaan, with a tall stature and broad shoulders. He keeps his jet black hair cropped close and complimented with a short black box beard, laced with orange hairs. He plays the bodhran drum quite impressively, though there are bards at the Keep who are better. He has championed some respectable tourneys, though he is still no match for his brother Rowan. The man is a sort of lazy genius however. From youth, he had never cared much for his education and done just enough to scrape by for the master without his father pressing. If he had worked as a boy he could have been a master strategist as a man. He is still known as being clever, and has a talent for achieving his goals, though most of the time he isn't sure what his own goals are.

His position in the family is neither here nor there, but he sometimes advises his brother - should he be around when a discussion or debate takes place - and will serve as an extra sword in his bodyguard if he has naught else to do. He has business ventures within Bunhowan, namely a jewelers in which he only employs dwarven craftsmen and elvish storekeepers, a tavern known as the Boat House, and two longships (he also owns a third, smaller but fully operable vessel, which hangs suspended from the roof of his tavern.

The man is known to be honorable and is oft times betrayed by his morals. He is not a man without his vices, and it is a badly kept family secret that he retreats to his roundhouse in the Black Forest to drink, whore and feast on the many wonderful produce of the forest such as venison, wild boar, wild herbs, mushrooms and such.

My bad. I confused the two.
And I was just trying to create some friction. Something to play off of.

Both of em look fine to me. I would add it to your app, especially in the archive.

What would be the source of the friction?

What would be the source of the friction?

As yet undefined but stemming from it is the fact that the Duchy of Sangreal is the only non-dwarf Duchy in all of Dornduar. A claim I would be happy to dismiss if you disagree with it. I was thinking it could have something to do with the staunchly pro-Imperial sentiments of Sangreal and her religious zeal when it comes to the Faith which most of Dornduar, if I am correct, partakes in Ancestor-worship.

All duchies in Dornduar are non-dwarfish. More specifically, all duchies in Dornduar are either human or half-human. The Dornduarian dwarfs don't have a noble hierarchy, as you might recall.

Than would it be safe to assume that the Duchy of Sangreal can be considered the only real Duchy in all of Sangreal or would it just be better to dismiss the claim altogether?

I don't know what you mean by 'real' duchy but with 30% of Dornduar's population being human it seems strange for there to be only one (half)human duke in the entire realm.

I'll change my post accordingly.

[Alleniana]

On speed; my lord is just at the border of my realm, realm 7, which is either smallest or 2nd smallest realm. It borders Pandyssium. Would that be alright?

Also, should I wait until the Magistratum stuff is finished until posting further?

[Corenea]

Does the Empire have a foreign tribe (similar to the Free Folks) to worry about?

[Mesrane]

Not that I've seen so far. I could easily be wrong on that though.

I really do think that there should be some great horde further east. It would really add to the story.

I just heard Watch Commander in the OOC and I was wondering about if the Watch Commander is for border guards or simply elite units in the capital

[Imperium Nova]

Should we have some conversation thread so that we not fill up the main IC thread with conversational posts?

I reckon it's fine.

I remember I asked about this back when I was realm 3, yeah, I think we need something there.

[Of the Quendi]

I remember I asked about this back when I was realm 3, yeah, I think we need something there.

As far as I (my people) am concerned we already have one in Realm 6. But really I don't see the need, the focus of the RP is the feuding of the factions within Pandyssium and we don't need an external threat that could potentially bring about an undesirable unity.

Well, not so much a threat so much as a filler, so that we don't all have to avoid talking about that's over there lest a plot hole appear.

Allenania is right. Unless the terrain is so inhospitable that no-one can live there, someone will be there. If Pandyssium is the size of half of Europe, then there must be more to the world. Heck, there could be centaurs, more humans, anything. There would even be an old continent, as it was revealed that humans did not originally live in Pandyssium. So we cannot just stop talking about what lies yonder. Even if we must wait until after the major part of the RP is over, there needs to be something.
I quite like the idea of a centaur horde. Kinda like the Mongols.

Centaur Mongols would be cool. Perhaps they can just be roaming around for now, and if we ever want a next installment or something, they unite, like under Genghis Khan?

A Mongol-like society ravaging outside settlements and making their way towards Pandyssium does sound like a nice plotline to use. Dibs on the horde

I see that tiny text.

It would be quite nice, though I suspect we won't get that far.

Anything could happen. We may get that far if this doesn't die a quick death. Surely, if interest is still high and we keep on making it interesting, then it may get further.Can I be part of the horde? I really want to be a Centaur General or captain. That would be awesome!
