The Kingdom of Tych (World Builder/Fantasy/Open)

[Drakorvanyia]

@Kanilion's latest post.

"Ah yes.. The return of the why boner... WITH A VENGEANCE."

The IC? muahaha

Well she's supposed to be a one-shot char who's playing a relatively minor role. Seems like my gamble at expansion has one upvote

Depending on popularity I might just promote the character, or leave it to fate

And the challenge of micro-ing multiple chars come into play... with pleasure

I have no objections to a promotion. *Coughhackcough.* I mean.. Yeah no I have no objections.

meeeeeeeeeh Sucubus references bring back the Dragon Age: Origins flashbacks

Doing a check, we arent specifically waiting for anyone to post in the IC before continuing with the party's storyline right ?

I thought we were waiting for Rygon. But.. -shrug.-

Nah think you should go ahead with the post. He's still.... 'Behind Bars' at this moment. The conv with Mitz-Ed-Ced-Haru can continue without breaking the flow.

[New Finnish Republic]

Yeah, I'd say you're free to post whenever Drako.

[Drakorvanyia]

Yeah, I'd say you're free to post whenever Drako.

Okay! I'll post tomorrow when I'm not about to collapse, haha.

Lol I suppose I can wait...

[Kanilion]

As I come to understand your characters better, I might send out TGs of specific events happening to them. Probably would not affect the character physically or so, but will definitely have an impact for the future.

Edit - You can call it... 'inspiration/rewards' for good Character Roleplay and fleshing out, sticking to the IC and whatnot. If you'd want one drop me a TG of your char, like a fleshed out version, and it may be a little incentive for me to push him/her/it a little.

Edit2 - And dont panic if you dont receive any, yet. It just might not be the time yet

[Kanilion]

Also, a teaser for what's to come. From reading the IC from page 1, really helped to build up the future storyline.

Here sits the one betrayed by his brother, and one to be avenged by his son.
Here sits one who will weep for his kingdom as it turns to ashes by foul deeds.
Here sits one who watches over his people and a waits the day when they will be saved.

A Kingdom Fallen, A People Enslaved,
Where Sickles Farmed Wheat, Now Swords Harvest Souls.
Will There be a Son, Will There be a Savior.
Where Life Was Shot By a Bolt From the Dark, Will Hope Will Rise Again.

There stands the Puppets, Controlled by their Master,
There be the Puppeteer, A Force of Malice Manifest.
The March of the Powers Begin, From the Darkness, Beings Come.
The Land Will Be Fertile with Blood, As The Time of Tych Has Come.

Damnit man just write a book already. Better yet, make a TV show.

[Relikai]

Hmmmm hmmmm if Drak posts in the morning perhaps we can IC a lil before I shut-eye

Btw have something in mind for Haruna. But is the Arena fight gonna happen on the IC day itself, or will there be a period of preparation?

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Is it actually true that the south sent that poisoned stuff to me or is that just a few more lies to get me marching down there immediately?

Hmm, what do you reckon? As in I'll put my take and you can put yours too.

Regarding the Plague itself, the history is very open in the RP, other than what is already set in stone. I can make it Truth/Canon if it is a good explanation for the Plague itself.

Your History stated that it is a popular trading place. Perhaps a favoured Count wanted the trade-rich Northern territories, which has resources and other goods, therefore a plan was hatched to create death. But the disease mutated on its way North, causing the rise of the undead, rather than insta-death.

For IC and RP History I'd say the North was supposed to be killed off, but dark forces caused a mutation to cause undeath instead. Therefore the dark forces 'emissary', is offering the North a chance to get their revenge.


EDIT - I'm looking through the Front Page, problem is there are possibilities of creatures but details are still quite Vague. I'll prolly deploy them Artifact style... Most wont appear during this lifetime... i think

Nah, I had something else in mind as cause for why they arose from the dead and that doesn`t necessarily have to do with the plague itself.
As for the cause of the plague I already said that it was from a ship from a faraway land I think. I`d have to look up my application to confirm that. But maybe we can make those faraway traders who came with the plague faraway assasins who were hired by a house to bring the plague.

Did you already TG Raktio about the situation in the north or should I do so now?

Works too. Generally for things which are vague, the OP/DM has the creative license to clear things up

Raktio has not replied. Perhaps you can drop him a TG yaself before polishing up the IC.

Jobs of an OP... yet organizational skills cero, kosong as they call it in SouthEast Asia. And now, what's better after a long hard day of work, when the exams are over, to delve into medieval-fantasy stuff and power along a storyline?

The numbers of listed according to their categories are of my personal judgement after going through the Apps. Feel free to critique should there be any discrepancies or issues which you might find unfair, and I shall pass on my opinion for consideration

I will be assuming the Tychian Mainland, including Cotalli, to be the size/population of 1200 England and Wales, and slightly larger. The North would be treated as a separate entity.

List of Houses/Territories, Populations, and Troops available without totally crashing the Economy+Industry.

Militia are village and townboys who serve in local defence. No way at the quality of a Regular, that they even hold metal weapons other than daggers or spears is a wonder.

Note that Levies means that the Economy and Industry is kept to a bare minimum. To even call half of them up is to start going in debt in terms of finances and resources. Also, they are known for being Cannon Fodder, rather than effective troops. The calculation of Levies is taken into account after every House's specialization, history, culture and Population Size. I am using House Sharp as an exemplary House in the Feudal Period.

Player Fiefdom Houses on the Tychian Mainland

House Sharp/Karsa - 200,000 // 1,000 Knight Enforcers, 15,000 Regulars, 5,000 Militia, 20,000 Feudal Levies
*House Odrysia/Tracian - 110,000 // 1,000 Guards, 2,000 Regulars, 5,000 Militia, 15,000 Levies
House Cotalli/Drak - 220,000 // 2,000 Macuahuitlist, 20,000 Regulars, 10,000 Militia, 20,000 Levies
House Fiorilli/Ry - 170,000 // 2,000 Republican Guard, 8,000 Regulars, 8,000 Militia, 17,000 Levies (20,000 Levies Called Up In Times of War)
House Yamaoka/The Gilded Lotus/FlameDawn - 30,000 // 500 Horn Bringers, 2,000 Regulars, 3,000 Levies
House Udaynath/Zoblus - 150,000 // 1,500 Mashboa Guard, 10,000 Regulars, 5,000 Militia, 15,000 Levies

Notes -
Sharpian Knights perform the strongest in the open field of battle, their Regulars are second only to Cotalli Regulars.
Odrysian Guards performs as well as other Elite Troops, but have the edge on mountain and defensive combat. Their Regulars top the list among other Houses in Defensive Mountain Combat.
Cotalli - Militaristic Background, in Battle, arguably the strongest House in Tych in Quantity, and their Average tops everyone else.
Fiorilli - Nothing special to note. Guards are equal to Mashboa in quality.
Yamaoka - Passive defensive House.
Udaynath - Gained independence, on a war footing, contributed an unknown number to the Revolutionaries.

NPC Fiefdom Houses on the Tychian Mainland

**House Tych - 600,000 // 15,000 Tychian Guardsmen, 40,000 Regulars, 10,000 Militia, 60,000 Feudal Levies
House Karl - 350,000 // 3,000 Royal Guards, 20,000 Regulars, 20,000 Militia, 40,000 Levies
House Martin - 300,000 // 3,000 Royal Guards, 20,000 Regulars, 10,000 Militia, 45,000 Levies

Notes
House Karl and House Martin are staying Neutral in this conflict, being friendly to Tych but not committing any troops or finances. Yet.

Guilds. Lesser territory and population, but more retinues and fighting men.

Ana-Ga/Finn - 800 // 800
House Zolfara/Founders - 80,000 // 8,000 Troops
House Iron Shield/Sea - 35,000 // 3,000 Troops
House Borgras/Land - 60,000 // 5,000 Troops
House Gromda/Stone - 40,000 // 3,500 Troops

[New Finnish Republic]

I might add some encounters of the Ana-Ga in my next post, which will happen after Drako posts. Oh, and Drako, did Relikai mention putting Edward into the Pit somehow, basically as a "training" type deal?

Indeedydeedeed. Mitzhla wouldn't allow it though. It may screw over her plans to fix the fight for Albercio.

Fixing the fight may prove risky, however. Granted, it'd be your call, but in a realistic situation, after Albercio doing not one but two things that disrespected the Cotalli, the Cotalli finding out that their own leader rigged the Pit wouldn't bode well.

Just my two cents.

[Raktio]

By the way, Seprena's got about ten high level Witch/Wizards and low level Warlocks with her, and an additional fifty Veil Guards, all on horseback.

Would be interesting to see the Magic response, since Dark Forces were created with an Anti-Magic concept within them

Unless Magic is designed to be the OPGGNoCounter factor in this RP haha

I`ll post tomorrow to move the northern plot forward.

Okay sure.

When i get back from work, will break out my Monster Manual to rank out these suckers. Now it's to find a balance between them being Anti-Magic, yet killable by either an existing form of killing... or coming up with a concept simple enough to be implemented on the spot. Like Alchemical Silver

By the way @Rak, I'm Designing this to be a new threat, therefore the Mages will have little to zero knowledge unless they receive reliable information from a source which I will dictate when the IC moves forward enough.

So are they from far away lands or another plane of existence? From the sounds of it they would need to be unknown completely in Tych.

By the way very few mages actually have enough power for large scale combat, hence the small numbers.
