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

[Alleniana]

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!

True. We've got a long way to play out at the moment, though, and we'll likely generate a lot of our own plot to continue with.

I see it!

Yeah. Ah well. We'll try to make it continue. After all, some RPs do get quite far, and this is an amazing concept. I know you do... Because reasons...

Why doesn't the Lord Provost Marshal like Talen SIlvarin?

Mmm. A lot of it depends on luck, though, so we shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves.

Why doesn't the Lord Provost Marshal like Talen SIlvarin?

A few reasons. Firstly, as outlined in the IC, he has been told by his father (a nasty piece of work) that one should never trust anyone but the family, and that allies (or friends - Vatngárdic language does not distinguish the two) will only cause problems with the family. He has, as a result, never had anyone who he trusts. That is enough to drive most around the bend. However, that isn't the case with Túlmíj, who instead takes it as reason to hate the world, because, simply, 'what has the world ever done for me?'
Secondly, Vatngárdic culture and language is very different to most imperial cultures. Somehow, it evolved differently to them (won't go into much detail - linguistics and anthropology wasn't such a big thing in medieval times) and so his culture clashes with most other people in court.
One of the more major reasons, however, is that Túlmíj (at present) craves power. He may never get to the rank of emperor, but he desires the position which Talen holds.
However, I would like to somehow see the relationship develop into something good. Actually finding a friend for Túlmíj would be nice.

Say, are there any particularly navally oriented realms? I'm quite coastal, but very non-naval.

I think Segardis was quite navy-like

Hmm, I can imagine. Do you know if anyone has a history of sea raids?

Well, not sure. But if you look through all the apps you can see who has the largest navy, and that region might be interesting

Hmm. I'm not sure how I'll have to go with regards to the sea. I'm currently envisioning the many mountains fortified and built up quite sufficiently to defend against any raiders, combined with various tower defenses along the shore, but it does all depend. If there are no particularly naval-focused powers, I might tone down the defences, for it to make sense in context.

We raid sometimes from the sea. But not often, and only enemy realms.

Sorry to just post here like that, but I wanted to ask if I could maybe participate, too? (Or did I misunderstand what "Open" means here?) I really like these kind of RPs, much more than the common Modern Tech. ones.

As far as I am aware, you can join. All the greater house positions are taken, but there are plenty of lesser houses and hedge knights.

You're far away. Good.

I'd imagine our defences would involve a lot of seaside stone towers (we build lots of them ) and dwarves who throw flaming axes at ships from atop the towers, chopping in in half bit by bit and burning them at the same time

In the centuries before the Empire, I imagined the Fingertip launching cattle and slave raids across the northern bay (Do we have a name for said bay yet?) and perhaps down the west coast. Similar to Vikings but armed with darts, javelins and spears, and a lightly armoured.

Of course, that was before and this is now. Of course it is not unknown for peoples to look to their past in times of uncertainty.

[Skaldia]

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

I would prefer this. The way it looks we'll be jumping forward to Caer Aard soon and I'm going to have to post something along the lines of Lucian taking the heirs and hiding them away so they don't end up being bargaining chips in any future civil war.

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 agree although centaur mongols might be a bit too much. xD

As said earlier, all the Great Houses are taken but please join anyways. Minor houses would go a long way to adding complexity to the story.

I was thinking the Bay could have a name identified with an animal of some kind.

Centaur Mongols are never too much.
Also, while I agree the conversation is confusing, wouldn't having a separate IC thread be even more so?

Would you be adverse to being related to the Vatngárdic people?

True. Although having a separate IC thread could perhaps alleviate the need of some players to have long drawn-out conversations with others while freeing up room in the main IC thread for the bigger going-ons. I wouldn't mind it as long as people didn't use the Convo-IC to post unimportant shit that has no bearing on the story whatsoever.

Hmm. I imagine that we would have been at least lightly affected, but not majorly, quite.

Foaly leading an army of aluminium hat soldiers

And I agree. It'd be better to leave it as is, IMO.

[Imperium Nova]

There is a foreign Empire, it is on the OP, the Empire of Argilac or something similar.

Not at all, that could be pretty cool. How close/distant were thinking for the relation?

[Skaldia]

That's far to the West. They were talking about something to the East.

Oh, shiz didn't even hear about that.

Could we have horkers? Then it could be known as Horker Bay / Boy of Horkers / Wordbank Bay
