A Crisis in Kalipolis (MT Sign up)

Postby Pawon » Thu Jan 04, 2018 12:56 am

Background:

Pawon is a tropical island nation that was founded by a neopagan cult leader who declared himself to be the son of Zeus. The leader, John Fisher, led his followers to Pawon after failing to take over Greece. They created a society based on ancient Greek religion and classical forms of government. Fisher became Ioannes I of Pawon and left his expanding kingdom to his sons. It was further divided among his grandchildren, who by then ruled the whole group of islands.

Kalipolis is one of the small kingdoms, but it has been troubled recently, by strife with in the royal house. This RP begins with the unexpected death of the King, Darin II and his son Milo, leaving the throne empty. This will lead to a conflict over the succession. The neighboring kingdoms, wanting to annex Kalipolis, and the Kalipolis aristocracy attempting to either make the most of the situation. All parties wish to avoid an actual war, although the movement of troops will be involved. There are plenty of ways for foreign interests to be involved and it could be done quite cheap. No full scale invasions please. I also want to advance the story with the use of individual characters, not armies etc.

The five kingdoms besides Kalipolis that willl be involved are listed below, as well. As important characters.

Lisane, ruled by Ioannis IV, also know as Ioannis the Soldier, due to his interest in the military. He spends most of his time training the military and lets most of the governing to his Boule (an executive council) A rather small kingdom, its military is disproportionately strong and it punches above its weight. It is however not near to Kalipolis nor does its ruler have a good claim to possess it. Only his martial attitude makes him likely to get involved.

Ioannoplis, East to Kalipolis and ruled by Milo II, the most senior descendant of Ioannis I. An experienced ruler, he is heavily involved in all aspects of governing, and rules the least democratic state.

Amphila, South of Kalipolis and ruled by the Hector III, the closest relative to the former king of Kalipolis. Hector has a reputation as a reformer, and is viewed by the anti-slavery movement as their great hope.
Myratis, west and north to Kalipolis, ruled by Zenokles IV, who has stated his ambition to be a philosopher king and his support of an aristocracy has allowed him to attract the best talent.

Also, important is Philip Petros, Foreign Minister for the confederation. He represents the whole of Pawon to the world, but as is limited to only act in accordance with the consensus of all the Kings.

Would be interested in joining this RP.
The Duchy would probably support Myratis or Amphila.
Will put this now on my bookmark list.

This seems interesting.

Would start off as neutral, but as the RP progresses might drift towards Amphila. Mind if I sign up?

Good morning,
I would be very much interested in this RP, especially due to the no-invasion-clause. The Kyrenaians would support Myratis, sending an ambassadorial mission to Zenokles. He is an upcoming philosopher ruler and that's something the Kyrenaians always love to see as they think into the same direction.
Would it be possible, that the 'best talent' he attracted also involved a few Kyrenaians? Artists, for example, or is he just out for fellow thinkers?

I have rather extensive factbooks, which are still WiP, though.

Sounds promising, I like the idea with the Kyrenaian talent. Zenokles is interested in excellence of all kinds, but especially those that either help him to rule or bring him prestige.

Hi there,
I'd love to join this roleplay, looks quite cool!
The free state would probably back Amphila, if that'd be possible.
I'm not sure whether this works RP-wise, but Limburg would also fund revolutionaries and anti-aristocrats in Kalipolis. Not sure whether it's possible. Please inform me whether it is/isn't.
Looks like a brilliant roleplay idea, and I'd love to sign up.

Hm... while not mutually exclusive, I would prefer people bringing him prestige over people helping him to rule. For the Kyrenaians already there, I can offer musicians, artists (especially mural-painters) and, of course, people responsible for the tea ceremony, as the Shay is almost sacred in Kyrenaia.

Okay, sounds good. I find the tea ceremony interesting, that would certainly appeal to the epicureans.

Alright, then, an artist and his household, including a tea crew? Or only the tea crew?

Both, how many people is that? Perhaps the tea crew could include an expert in growing tea, who can help introduce tea farming to Pawon.

Including the tea expert, I'd say... maybe seven people?
The Artist himself, his wife/secretary, his pupil, the tea expert, his assistant, two Tea Maids, one of them being the Artist's daughter (which is not unusual)?

Okay, sounds good. I am thinking of a way to incorporate them into the story, perhaps Zenokles could be in the middle of a tea ceremony when the news of sudden extinction of the house of Kalipolis reaches him.

That would be an idea. Do you need names for the people in question?

The Raven Corporation is looking to expand trade export rights with each of the warring parties and by extension to Confederation.

I was thinking you could write the first post, as I have already written two in a row and you can describe the tea ceremony.

There aren't any anti-aristocratic revolutionaries, but you are still welcome to participate.
