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

[Imperium Nova]

I had really hoped we would be starting at the exact point the emperor died.

Well, this sort of is that point? How much earlier could you have started?

I guess he meant the exact moment the Emperor fell off a cliff

Exactly this. According to the IC OP, we're half a day after the accident. That is a long, long time. There probably already is a faction firmly in control of the capital city now. What faction is that?

The House Silvarin are stewards of Pandyssia and so probably control it. Talen Silvarin was the one who sent out the letter.

The IC is finally up!

YEAH!!!!

I am very much disappointed in this. I was looking forward to the initial chaos immediately following the emperor's death but it seems like everything is a-okay already considering a regent was chosen by the emperor before his death.

I'm sure things will not be a-okay for very long.

Woot woot! May not get a post up tonight, but tomorrow night for sure.

Yeah. Let things ramp up first before we throw the Empire into chaos.

[Mesrane]

NDH, could you add my lady in as a Chamberlain on the court roster?

[Agadar]

NDH, I'm assuming you will be controlling the commanders of the emperor's blades and the city watch?

Well, since there was no true heir and this Emperor was quite competent I would have assumed that he would have made the correct measures to see to that the realm would continue even if he died.

Also, the regent is only set for realm 5, Pandyssia, not the entire realm. And only a regent for the realm will be chosen, not an Emperor as far as I am aware.

Regency only goes so far. No doubt the chaos will still ensue, especially since the Emperor is the effective 'uniting force' of the entire continent, whereas a regent will only be able to guide the young Emperor. There will still be secession crises, and stuff will still happen. Plus, judging by the fact that we are all RP'ers, we'll probably want to have a revolution against the crown.
By the way, is there some sort of great feature to the Imperial house which would be the contesting point? In GoT, it is the Iron Throne, in Skyrim, the Jagged Crown, that sort of thing.

There are plenty of realms that used to boast kings and even emperors, so there should be plenty of 'contesting points'.

Imperium Nova: it doesn't make much sense for your guy to be appointed regent of only the imperial province and not the entire empire. It makes just as little sense to wait weeks if not months until all the lords have arrived in the capital just to elect a regent. It is senseless to leave the empire leaderless for such a long period.

If we're going with the thing where your guy was appointed the regency by the late emperor, then he should be regent of the entire empire, and the gathering of lords should be about deciding the heir, not the regent.

Actually my character is the Commander of the Blades.

Searched the archive and the OP but didn't see that.

Anyway, did you read my IC post? The lord high militant is requesting your guy to meet him at the eastern gate.

Well, I thought so too. It would also be quite logical.

It's the second post below the OP where it says Court Positions Roster.
And I'll have a post up sometime today.

[Woodstovia]

and the gathering of lords should be about deciding the heir, not the regent.

I thought it was about that?

Yeah it is about that

thus, you are summoned to represent your Houses at the first Caer Aard Gathering in over a century. As you know, the tragedy has left the question of succession to the Imperial Throne open

[Gjulich]

I don't think you quite get my meaning. Is there some sort of great seat of power, or great object which shows the Emperor's rule over all of Pandyssium?

Agreed. Not that the regent will last very long, but agreed. There needs to be a regent for the whole empire.

Not that I know of. I'm sure the emperor had a fancy tiara or something.

Well Titus the Great was a conqueror so maybe a weapon or crown?
