Ah, I misunderstood you. That's a stellar idea, but I don't think I'm up for managing or even being a part of Pinkerton. I'd prefer to be the faithful servant of a single man.

Sounds good! I'll start my application around the idea of my character being a veteran who served under Jackson. Perhaps he became part of the general's retinue and, post-war, was one of the few that could be entrusted with critical tasks by Jackson. If you've any other backstory ideas, let me know.

Currently, my first post would have him be in Galveston after a business trip to Dallas.

the DFW area (Dallas and Fortworth). That's pretty much where the cattle trail goes through. Cowboys can quickly stock up on some ammo before they make the long journey.

FYI it’s Dallas and Boykin now. Got renamed after the reign of the first Boykin monarch.

That's very narcissistic of him. And very confusing as to why. Can't he just name a railroad after him?

The parvenus like to rename towns instead of founding them, what can one say?

Well for one, he didn’t name it after himself, the city did. Two, Texas has a history of renaming stuff after prominent leaders, and Ben’s father signified the beginning of a new era. Hence, when he died, the residents named it after him. This is partially due to the tons of projects, including Boykin University, that Ben’s father was responsible for in the city.

It depends what you mean by that. Every realm in the South is at least nominally part of the Empire, even though vassals exercise the true power.


I see, thanks. So if I'd take a Southern Unionist and abolitionist like Newton Knight as a character, that could only work as an outlaw, if I'm correct?

Well I assume Unionists aren’t welcome in government, so sure.

I think that kind of character would be fit in Maryland or Virginia. If I'm correct one of the posts stated that the Union is still meeting in Washington. Could be a "Governor of Maryland" in behalf of the US.

I saw that post, I don’t understand how the Union is still meeting in Washington as it’s completely within Confederate territory, but that shows how weak the South is

There's a mention of it in the IC, actually. The new emperor isn't sure if we own Maryland XD

Is it confirmed that the Union controls Maryland and Virginia? If so, I'd gladly take Maryland, for sure.

Wait a minute, I read the IC again. Slave trade? Now that's a disaster already. If Britain and France finds out the CSA was shipping new slaves from then the CSA is dead meat. This has to be the works of rogue nobles. Even the CSA constitution in our world banned the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Rogue nobles, it’s been banned in Texas.

It's not confirmed, per se, but it's known that the Union still meets in Washington. So there must be a very significant influence of the Stars and Stripes in Maryland.

Sarderia, about the telegram, the revolver rifles are no longer in production. Colt stopped producing them in 1862. If you want rifles, you need to go to Harper's Ferry.

I’m assuming the most powerful man on the privy council is able to figure out what an often-drunk boy he has known for over a decade is doing.
