A Strange World: The Ascent of Man [OOC|Open for Orgs]

[Nuxipal]

While reading through some of what each civilization has, I noticed that someone has domesticated the ant-hounds!

What all became of some of the stranger creatures I put into this? Also, I can clarify what any of those creatures were meant to represent.

Also: I am nearly done with the organization history, so I'll be posting that soon. I don't have a location though, I have two thoughts as to where they could end up. Anyone with a better idea once I post it, I'll field offers from.

[Holy Tedalonia]

I'm just gonna go forward with making an organization that has a possibility of making its own city-state sometime in the future. Really want to get into this RP sooner rather than later.

Sounds good, I was planning on establishing some city states around me once my citystate recovers from timeskip. Got hit hard, and spread very thin, but I’m happy to aid you on your goal of citystate once I recover. Plus you can claim to be a descendant of your char in the tribal age.

G-TECH IS ONLINE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, G-TECH IS ONLINE.

Hah.

The Ant-hounds were me sir and I use that good ol' necromancy to do it. But their only tamed, not fully domesticated. Hopefully to remedy that sooner or later.

Oh good. I don't remember how far I got into describing them through Meru's travels, but I was basing them off of the Elder Scrolls creature Kwama. Not sure which direction G took them, but regardless here is a wonderful image for you to use as them:

Organization Application
Name: Chosen of Neferkara
Leader: Prince Setnakhte, High Priest of Neferkara
Short History:

The Chosen of Neferkara were founded early in the history of the city-state of Aslani. They were primarily priests dealing with death gods, preparing the dead to cross into the afterlife, as well as early work with magic related to life and death. They however, were formed under the name The Mortuary Servants and this practice placed them in a place of great importance for the formative years of the City-state's time before it grew beyond its own borders. It is during the first expansion of Aslani that the Prince Neferkara was born and was destined to be the next Star-Reader, he was forced by the current Star-Reader to join the Mortuary Servants as a means by which to prevent him from attaining the throne. A younger son became the next Star-Reader and it didn't take more than a decade before the Mortuary Servants led a revolt against the Star-Reader and placed Neferkara on the throne. Calling himself Priest-King Neferkara and creating the first instance where the Star-Reader was not the ruler of the Kingdom.

Over the next decade the other factions within Aslani formed a rebellion against Neferkara. Without a great deal of manpower to back him, Neferkara and his priests raised the dead to fill out their ranks. Soon, the legions of Neferkara seemed to be filled with every member of the dead buried within the confines of Aslani. However, even with this, the combined forces of the other Aslani factions were able to breach the palace and allegedly defeat Neferkara himself. As this happened his armies crumbled, the undead bound to him fell to the ground and the Star-Reader emerged atop his pyramid and proclaimed victory.

Defeated, the Chosen fled Aslani northwards. Finding refuge in various communities and city states. Neferkara's grandson, Setnakhte, has taken up the title of Prince of the Aslani, as well as High Priest of Neferkara. They have eventually settled in the city-state of Saladonia, aiming to rebuild their strength in a place that could use their assistance as well. With luck, their aid to the city-state will help to make the people here more inclined to assist them in resurrecting the power of Neferkara into physical form.

Starting Location: The Republic of Saladonia
Proposed Bonus / Role: Two Points towards Arcana Each Turn. Bonus to Stone Construction from Aslani Knowledge

Alright there is the organization application. G, let me know what needs to be fixed. Also, what sort of numbers do organizations get. I was thinking it was gonna be 100 or with some luck 200.

So, who wants some exiled Death Priests?

It didn't take long before the conquered city-states rebelled and one by one Neferkara and his armies, now being augmented by animated skeletons, a feat that has been difficult to teach to his followers. It is during this time that the Chosen were formed. Elite Priests who were taught the secrets of Necromancy that Neferkara had mastered. These priests were led by the heir apparent at all times so as to give the next Priest-King similar gifts to his father. However, by the time the last revolt was put down the Star-Reader cult had reformed a militia to face the legions of Neferkara. Both armies were vast and the battle was ferocious as the Star-Reader seemed to have called on some magic that the Chosen were not ready for.

Defeated, the Chosen fled Aslani northwards. Their Priest-King had vanished during the fighting and many presumed him to be dead. The next two generations were filled with being continual wanderers knowing that their lands to the south would never be theirs to see. Spending time in and among various people they traded their knowledge for shelter many times, always being expelled after a few years.

I would but I don't know if you'd be a good fit.

[Ralnis]

Hey Nuixpal, would you join Xcotl? We are the foremost experts in all necromantic affairs.

A organization is always a benefit, if you want to join my city state, join.

[Elerian]

-snip-

Hey Nux, I'm also an organization and I only got 100, so I assume you'd be the same.

[Novas Arcanum]

Nux join Xcotl,as a mage guild I'll help in researching more powerful forms of necromancy and share any magical knowledge I gain.

Two organizations in one place is a bit much I think.. Wouldn't be very fair to others. Besides, now that I have been reminded that there is an archives page I am going to update the application quickly here.

[Olthenia]

Man, necromancy and spirit-callers seem to be all the rage these days. How 'bout a nice little cult of fertility? Or just plain love?

Eh, I had three ideas, but this is combining two of them, so it won out. Besides, I have a free reason to try and conquer Aslani sometime around turn 400 or perhaps in the next chapter of the RP.

[The GAmeTopians]

I'd welcome a cult of fertility, but I can't make an organization if I have a city-state and I'm sure as heck not giving it up

[Pasong Tirad]

Do they poke holes in the bronze age condoms?

[Saxony-Brandenburg]

You know, thats kind of what I'm thinking soon enough... I'd advise Nux not to pick me as a place to set up im thinking...

Hmm I disagree your gonna leave anyways so why not stay at a place that will increase your power tenfold for the time being?

[Olthenia]

I feel slightly silly for asking, but it's better to be safe than sorry - so! The question is: do I need to construct a whole darn Docks District before I can build a Fishing Docks?

I’ve seen a game that didn’t balance the players at all. (Allowing them to join teams regardless of how many there were in a region). And everybody joined a certain team, killing the entire mmo. Best not mob stack.
