So much tempted to post there so that I can just tag and read the rest.

1739

"Baathe, are you sure that we will ever reach the destined land?"

There was a moment of silence after the girl had asked her uncle this question for God knows how many times. The two of them were dressed in rags and strange in appearance that local men and women on the streets stared at them.

King Dorias II, the current ruler of the Kingdom of Lindastir had sworn allegiance to the Noronicans. The land was seeing prosperity and industrial development was taking place with the guidance of the Nyssic overlords but the people were had little say over political matters. And one of these political matters were refugees.

Ever since the mighty Atnaian Empire had made the Khas-Kirati homeland its first colony and renamed it as Atish Magarati Republic, thousands of Khas-Kiratis fled the island every year. They continued to do so even two hundred years after their motherland had become an Atnaia had become the ruler of the Mesder Sea.
......

I badly want to write about some refugees but I will have to wait.

I sure as heck want to post something just so that I could tag and read the stories by you awesome guys.

Very cool, I just re-read your history about that part too.

1700 is at the start of the Vaen Guard moving from a domestic force to a mercenary army so maybe I will do some sort of post about that.... I need volunteers for more conflicts they can participate in during this time

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

Would they have been up for aiding colonial efforts? As Noronica's army was stretched over other colonies, maybe Noronica could have paid them to play a supportive role to the regular army?

Okay, we're up for terrorizing some villagers.... I could do a post about them getting ready to come over

I like it! It's not what I expected, but it's a good piece.

AGADAR
@agadar

I'm thinking about writing a short journal entry from my explorer figure about his first encounters with the Agadari around 1700. Could you give me a description about what they would look like/act like and maybe what they'd wear and what their buildings would consist of? Alternatively find me a picture to go off of?

The setting would be that of a small expeditionary party landing on a beach where you're people would be. At this point my explorer is, mid-aged and nearly done with his cartography journey and would be approaching to ask for permission to scout the interior of your country.

I'll be honest, you're asking for depths in my lore that are yet unestablished, so I'm just following a train of thought here. Let's go with something like the following: Agadar in the 1700's would be similar to England in the 1700's, though with a warmer climate, and with both native and viking inspirations. 1700 might be too slightly too early for it, but later on in the 1700's there was a general sentiment towards lessening the political power of the king and increasing the political power of the common folk, fueled by the ideas of scholars such as Harry Wilkins (who would later draft the first version of the constitution, that was ratified by the king). Check out my factbook for slightly more details: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=563472.

Agadarians, especially during that period of time, would be welcoming of foreigners due to the trade they bring, but otherwise regard them with suspicion. Catholics were in some parts of the country treated with dignity while in other parts of the country less so, due to the schism of the Agadarian Church from the Catholic Church but ~150 years earlier. Depending on where a Catholic introduced himself he'd either get a 'welcome brother' or a 'fuck off'. Agadarians character-wise resemble the vikings of old, though less inclined to resort to smashing heads in with axes.

What are some things my people can do in Norionica and who would they report to, how would they get compensated, what are some relevant facts etc?

Tell you what, I'll reply with a character receiving them.

For now, let's say that they arrived in Port Sinare, Noronica's most important trading city and it is in the east. They would report to the Noronnican Navy which had the majority of its fleet in Port Sinare. The Noronnicans would compensate your people for damages at sea but they would be very arrogant. If you plan to make a post, my navy personnel would be very highly-opinionated and act like dicks to a lot of people. They wouldn't openly insult those who came to help them, but they always think they are superior.

Other than that, your people can explore the city while they are compensated and are restocked, etc. If you plan to write, the city is huge, second to the capital with vast amounts of markets and Gael businesses.

[Michigonia]

My early settlers were affiliated with the Dutch East India Company, thinking of integrating some real-world economic/political issues with local stories in a settler's journal. He will probably be one of the first settlers in the Dutch area of Michigonia (1704). Any specific merchants from a neighboring nation I could mention as establishing trade and/or political connections? Looking to get more involved here

Aren't your natives originally from the Pacific Northwest? It may be that our native peoples are distant relatives (potentially even from the same migration). It would make sense that, through them, you may have knowledge of the He'enboc capital of Vaamhaar, and the colonies of Manosca(1632) and Arle(1649), which were the main precursor colonies before my country's unification.

If you want to name-drop you can use Simo de Gallia, who would've been a merchant and prominent noble from Manosca.

Yes, My natives are distantly related to Chinook tribes in the PNW, and migrated around 0 CE, which would line up with your pre-European history. So they could also be related to, but separate from, the He'enboc tribes. Is it ok to mention this in my fleshed-out history overview?

I may namedrop Arle as a place where some of my European settlers had been prior to settling in the Dutch, English, and Spanish areas of Michigonia.

Yup, sounds great to me!

[Putaoya]

My country at this time was known as a great regional power in the world with tributaries around the continent, it was known for it's culture at this time, but if it was angered beware of it's military might

Hey there,
Are you on The Western Isles map? Since we're an RP region, members should be on the map.

Yes

Looking forward to your post - sorry forgot to reply to this, thanks for the information

Sorry for the lateness. I've been busy during the week so I'm only now pushing out posts. Expect it soon!

[Noronica]

Turns out 'soon' means 8 days....... sorry Van, I've posted now.

Note to everyone - I encourage you to posts in the IC as it's only been Van and me.

Will soon.
Note, that I won't be going in chronological order like you guys, I will be skipping back and forth between years.

That's fine. The thread was meant to be flexible in that sense. As long as you date your posts, people can jump years or make short stories like Van and I are doing.

[Athara Magarat]

Did my first IC post here and it's TAG

Hope you guys don't mind.
