A Lost Age [PT/FanT World] (Open)

[Honorisia]

I would be all for a thread about trade. If you all haven't noticed I'm trying to gain control of the ocean trade routs with my galleys. I think I might even bribe the pirates of the lands to leave my ships alone, at least until I destroy them.

So anyway which port city is my fleet going to sail into?

One of the four larger cities on the coast. The capital would be the logical choice if you want to please the government. Otherwise there are two ports to the south and one to the north. You might have to deal with my sorcerer before you get there, and while he couldn't destroy your fleet outright he would definitely be able to cause some damage. In the end it's your choice, sail into a government controlled port and they would expect you to offer support. However if you sail into the southern ports then you run the risk of angering the King. Tricky situation either way.

Lol originally I was sailing with more people, but i decided to tone down the number. Maybe I'll come with more later. I think I'll go for your capital, but I also kinda want to make a statement and go to all your ports at once. sigh..... if only I brought more than 3,000 men. So I take your sorcerer is one of your most powerful magic users right? I hope he doesn't mind not being to only magic user once my fleet arrives. I have a couple of mages on board.

Well he is the chief servant of a living God. That and the fact that he's the only one that Ka has chosen to reveal himself to. So yeah, not to be trifled with.

[Dbrought]

In that case the only person who I have at his level in my nation would be Talib Ailith, the right hand of Udan (My god). I'll pay him some respect.

Visperia, that was a really cool post about the airship, but we actually got into a debate about airships once when I proposed a zeppelin unit, and in the end we scratched them because we decided it seemed to steampunk-ish. Nonetheless, I don't see any reason you should change the post; I think you should keep the airship, but limit yourself to just one that is super-powerful, and can't be replaced if destroyed- it could basically be a gift from your god or discovered already made, etc.

IM up for a trade thread too.

@Annaliea: sounds splendid! I would love to rp about the company being in your country.

[Numer]

Numer id like a trading thread where my East Empire company tries to get an official charter. They have warehouses but an official charter would allow them to bolster the companies strength in your region. You can also spy about their main offices based there and we can have a whole bunch of scenerios play out.

This would be great, as your company has the potential to either fail miserably or have actual political control over part of Numer. See, the "Houses" of Numer are not based on lineage; they are basically merchant families that have been established in business in their respective cities for so long that they literally control it (and are therefore a "House"). Now, if the East Empire Trading Company flourishes in Numer, it has the potential to become a House of its own- and if a reigning House is overthrown by the company, it can take over and place its own lugalesh in power, gaining control of a city. However this potential also means the Numerian Houses will hate the East Empire Company because of this threat it poses. As you can see, there are a number of cool ways we can go with this.

[The knights of kings]

Sounds like a fine plan to me! Il through up a thread of how the east empire company who already has some established trade in Numer starts backing itself up. As well as trying to ally itself with the already existing houses.

I'm going to say your application is pending, because I believe we all agreed that we were not accepting any more applicants.

Aw thanks! It took me awhile. I've always enjoyed your factbooks, from the Undead Palamecia to the Agrini Elves- your civilizations are always well-thought out and intriguing

[Annaliea]

Where do you find the fact books? I want to create mine but I don't know where to do it

[Visperia (Ancient)]

Visperia, that was a really cool post about the airship, but we actually got into a debate about airships once when I proposed a zeppelin unit, and in the end we scratched them because we decided it seemed to steampunk-ish. Nonetheless, I don't see any reason you should change the post; I think you should keep the airship, but limit yourself to just one that is super-powerful, and can't be replaced if destroyed- it could basically be a gift from your god or discovered already made, etc.

My idea was that spell-powered flight, using enhanced horizontal and vertical sails, is still in the experimental stage. Visperia is a capitalist nation, and the applications of flight are more developed for civilian applications than for military. It's not 100% reliable, and the horizontal sails are extremely vulnerable to attack (the ship will drop like a rock if you manage to destroy those sails). This fits with the way magic works in my country: it's based off physical objects and the 'bloodmagic' of individuals. So more like technology and less like spells and magery.

I supposed the same thing when I came up with the zeppelin unit, and it makes sense, but then again, we are in Medieval Fantasy (based more on magic than technology) Tech, and we decided that using "fantasy tech" was essential Steampunk :/ What if it was based off of ancient blueprints that you're people then managed to replicate, but then lost the tech to create another one?

[Visperia (Ancient)]

Mmm...I can definitely say that's the only military vessel available at the current time, or I could even make it so that we can't get the spells quite right for others for military applications, but I've already put mail/courier/light transport vessels in other RP's. I'd like others to weigh in.

Well you can have your one military vessel. And i'm willing to let your nation have its own internal zip line system of trolley transports for your mail. and transports through the mountains. But i'd like to keep that one ship as the only airship in the world.

Gender: Male
Location: Northern Continent
Weapon(s)- Use of Magic, and massive mace.
If he kills someone he can use their ghosts to his biding for short time.

"I shall Bring Great Suffering."
(He is based off of Mordekiser from League of legends.

[The knights of kings]

First this is an ooc thread so there is no need for you to type it out hmm but I think your character is interesting but il pass on the final judgment italian mafiaa and Dbrought can do it.

[Honorisia]

Yeah the character looks good to me, but then again I'm not in charge. I think he'll definitely cause some trouble.

[Dbrought]

Firstly, I know I volunteered to work on the map and all, but I'm still wondering at what point I was promoted to get the final say on things. I mean I'm honored guys! I have loved this group ever since I joined, and am happy to be a person to keep it running and together.

In other news Deneager I think we can let your charachter in. I'm also willing to let you use that charachter to build a nation of his followers, or since Knights of Kings has stepped down from his role (at least i'm pretty sure he has) as the head of all the undead legions, I think your guy (who already has necromancer like qualities) could be the new rising necromancer to step into the power gap the Queen of Parasites left with her downfall. I know you said you wanted to start down in the middle continent, but since your were originally thinking of claiming a place in the northlands where me and Promotheo are I think you could also start up there.

See I have actually been toying with the idea of starting a thread where my nation has a heated debate between my rulers over whether the dead should be cremated to prevent the dead being used as soldiers for necromancers, or should the desecration of the ancestors bodies be even comprehended. So while I have a heated debate, you could show up and enter one of my largely abandoned crypts and start rumaging around, further inciting the issue. Also Prometheo I would like to get you in this thread too. Have it take place after your To bed a king thread. That way we could legislate the decision we decide over the entire continent.

Anyway that could also give you an in and if you play your cards right and see the thread through I see no reason why you couldn't use what followers/ undead minions you get out of it to set your own place up north (or wherever you want for that matter)
