I will, in Bryna's app, have some...illuminating and expanding details following the attempt on her life, I suppose.

Look forward to seeing it.

[Dragos Bee]

Ugh, don't have the time to make an app as good as you guys'. So I guess I won't be playing a nation after all...

B*tch I'll make one for you! We gotta have a House Stark, Durrandon, Gardener, and Martell! Pick one!

The word "b*tch" is used here in a friendly manner, rather than an aggressive one. Please don't be offended.

I feel Durrandon and Gardener are slightly more important than Stark or Martell as both the North and Dorne are fairly isolationist diplomatically in Westeros. Dornish raiders can be Roleplayed out by Storm Kings and Kings of the Reach.

Can you make me a Gardener App, then? Also, can I have a Steward of commoner blood who gives my king the suggestion to give City Charters to all my Market Towns in exchange for a one-time payment?

I can, although I'll need more details and admittedly, it won't be as good as mine(I spent days working on that).

You can make up what you need about the Steward. And just make it passable.

I spent like.. an hour, but I didn't go as in depth as you did for the Targ App.

Also, that's a shit ton of city-charters to hand out..

I retract what I said. I can't make another app. Well fr*ck. Guess I shouldn't have called you a b*tch.

Hope I don't get banned for that.

Actually I can make you a House Gardener/The Reach app if u want to concentrate on just making a character app for it.

What the heck, Dragon Bee. Why are you having someone else make your app in your rp? You should've made it from the very start!?

[Roman Imperator]

What the heck, Dragon Bee. Why are you having someone else make your app in your rp? You should've made it from the very start!?

Nah he is busy probably in rl. So it's fine. He didn't want to rp as any nation tbh but some of us were asking him to so ya

[The Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune]

Taedor in his fully armored glory

[Dragos Bee]

What the heck, Dragon Bee. Why are you having someone else make your app in your rp? You should've made it from the very start!?

I didn't want to RP as any nation at first, plus yes, I got busy elsewhere. And yes, people were asking me to play a nation, so I had to ask someone to make an app for me because I didn't have the time and energy to make an app.

I feel like you don’t even need to app as a full nation if you’re so busy: a minor house and/or a character would suffice I’d imagine

Thanks, Warg, but there are also the huge vacant spots to consider - Starks, Gardeners and Martells have not yet been filled.

[Dragos Bee]

Double-post - Also, this RP might not have a Discord server, as that might lead to the death of the OOC.

Don't forget House Durrandon. I feel like whoever wants to join next should gotta one of these 4.

Canon Name: The Empire of New Ghis

Canon Flag/Badge:

Canon Military Strength: The military of New Ghis comprises of the Iron Legion; one of the most disciplined infantry units in all of Essos. Each legion is comprised of six thousand men; new Ghis currently has seven legions making their total count of men 42,000 heavy infantry. New Ghis also has a staunch navy comprised of: One massive flagship, eighteen war galleys, and twenty-two long ships.

Canon History: New Ghis is the child of the great Old Empire of Ghis, once the strongest nation on the planet. At the peak, the empire was ruled by Grazdan the Great from atop of The Great Pyramid. Grazdan's empire stretched from the Isle of Tears to Mantarys, no one could stop their massive slaving fleets that spread fear through the known world. The Empire of Ghis out-shined its neighbors including the new Valyrian Freehold and the City of Qarth.

Less than four thousand years ago the Empire was engulfed in a series of conflicts with the neighboring Freehold after their discovery of dragons. While the Ghiscari Legion was the strongest military and could easily defeat Valyrian infantry, the might of the dragon led to their downfall. After five separate conflicts, the Valyrian Dragon-riders burned the great City of Ghis to the ground and conquered the Empire of Ghis. The slavers soon became the enslaved as the Freehold adopted the practice of mass slavery.

For years Slaver's Bay was indentured to the Valyrian Freehold, many of the former Ghiscari cities were able to maintain a form of autonomy such as Yunkai and Meereen. The Ghiscari people were able to reinstate some of their power after The Doom and the fall of the Valyrian Freehold. The Ghiscari cities rebelled against their Valyrian overlords and slaughtered the provincial governors. The three main benefactors were the cities of Yunkai, Meereen, and Astapor under the various Masters who quickly reestablish Ghiscari control over the slave trade. Yet from the ashes rose the true predecessor of the Ghiscari Empire, the Empire of New Ghis. While the Master's of the Slaver Cities deviated from the original Ghiscari principals for plutocracy and greed, New Ghis remained true and faithful.


Headcanon History: New Ghis originally was founded by the zo Grazdan family, distantly related Grazdan the Great. The zo Grazdan family quickly reestablished the hereditary and bureaucratic nature of the previous empire. The zo Grazdan also rejected the idea of the Unsullied and reestablished the professional Iron Legion, in favor of a voluntary and conscripted force over a slave-oriented army. The Master's to the north, while remained neutral, disliked New Ghis and rejected the nation of being the child of the Ghiscari Empire. Cultural norms and the need for stability in Slaver's Bay prevented all-out-conflict.

The zo Grazdan family faced pressure from the plutocratic community in New Ghis, those who wished to leave the power in the hands of the Masters. Generation after generation, the zo Grazdan family weakened. The last ruler from the zo Grazdan family was Hizdahr "The Fat" zo Grazdan; a slothful ruler who'd care more about his harem that affairs of the state. New Ghis was on the verge of civil war; the military aristocracy versus the Master plutocracy.

Military commander and the religious elite feared that Hizdahr would lead to the ruin of the nation. The Emperor's council eyed the well respected general Mizleq zo Shaak who was related to the material line of Grazdan the Great. Mizleq was a brilliant strategist and leader who was loved by the nation. Mizleq had served in the Iron Legion for thirty years and had led the campaign to retake mainland territory for the empire and ended up defending it from a Dothraki hoard of 20,000 Riders. The council discreetly approached Mizleq with the offer; Mizleq refused at first, being a loyal soldier and wanting no part in state-building. Although after seeing the execution of two military officers who were charged with treason after insulting the Emperor and a plutocratic riot within the city of New Ghis, Mizleq conceded. Mizleq agreed to stage a coup as long as it was bloodless; the council agreed. Mizleg marched into the city of New Ghis with one legion on the premise of a military exercise. Mizleq marched into the Emperor's chambers, denouncing the Emperor as unfit to rule and urging his retinue to step down. Being as respected as he was; the retinue laid down their arms and arrested the Emperor. Mizleq, not wanting to bolster plutocratic forces, quietly escorted Emperor Hizdahr out of the New Pyramid and exiled him to Sothoryos aboard a slave vessel.

The council staged a grand coronation for Emperor Mizleq; thousands appeared at the base of the New Pyramid and cheered at the crowning of the beloved Mizleq. Emperor Mizleq had the greatest qualities of a ruler; he was just but stern, charming but reserved, and intelligent but humble. He made a great announcement, telling the world that The Empire of New Ghis was the true predecessor to the Ghiscari Empire. He began rebuilding the former capital of Old Ghis from scratch and cracked down on plutocratic elements while bolstering the Iron Legion and consolidating the love of the Ghiscari people. Some say that Emperor Mizleq is leading New Ghis into a new gilded age and will restore of the Ghiscari throne.

Economic Strength: Due to the proximity on Slaver's Bay and involvement in the slave trade, New Ghis is considered rich but not as rich as its neighboring cities.

Name: Mizleq zo Shaak

Appearance:

Age: Forty-two

Bio: Mizleq was born to an aristocratic military family; his father was a proven officer in the Iron Legion and serving as a primary military adviser to the Emperor. The zo Shaak family was also the maternal lineage to Grazdan the Great which brought their house much respect among the Ghiscari community. Mizleq had a difficult childhood; his mother had passed away during childbirth and his father was often away serving the court. Mizleq was ultimately raised by his uncle who was a ruthless drill instructor, teaching Mizleq the art of war as a toddler. Mizleq was often beaten by his uncle during training. This toughened Mizleq and shaped him to become the legendary warrior he is today.

At age ten he was sent off to train as an Iron Legionary. He proved to be an exceptional soldier and capable officer; at the young age of twelve earning the title of Iron Legionary. Serving under his father for several years, Mizleq became a seasoned veteran; fighting against Dothraki hordes and Lhazar militias. After his twenty-third year in the Iron Legion, serving as the Commander of the Second Legion he was rewarded with the title of Supreme Commander of the Iron Legion and primary military adviser to the crown. Mizleq took great pride in this duty and served loyally until the coup. He now sits upon the throne of New Ghis, with newfound enthusiasm he seeks to reform the Great Empire of Ghis and rebuild the old capital to its former glory.

Mundane Skills: Mizleq is a proven military commander, one of the best strategist in Essos from his time serving in the Iron Legion. He is also an exception fighter, even as Emperor maintaining his Legionary Training Routine.

Personality: Mizleq is extremely humble and soft-spoken. He is a soldier-at-heart who has served New Ghis for the entirety of his life, he does not even see himself as a 'ruler' but more so the servant of the Ghiscari people and The Harpy. Mizleq is extremely religious, often spending long periods of time with religious advisers.

Being so devout in his religion and patriotism he can also be very stern. He has cracked down on the plutocrats who he has deemed the enemies of the state and will crush anyone that stands in the way of a united Ghiscari Empire under The Harpy.
