In that case, this is my plan. Suggest or deny what you wish:
1. Psytronius enters the roleplay's world through a portal somewhere near the front line, before any violence begins & in unowned/contested territory. They are found by the alliance against the orcs, after which there may or may not be first contact shenanigans too depending on if you guys want to — it is possible that there already has been multiversal contact from Psytronius, but I'll leave that to you & your other regionmates, Kylarnatia.2. The Psytrines hear of the Orcish menace somehow, & elect to send in a Domeses or two to aid the Gothic Regional Alliance. Sousundowa Carême volunteers to go & travels with wherever the main group is, functioning as a cheaper, better kitchen staff that will use a combination of the one that the group will have & their own restaurant back in Psytronius (accessed by a portal) — the only payment Psytronius will expect will be a percent price for the ingredients. Being the Domeses of Food, Sousundowa's food & drink provides various benefits beyond just tasting good, such as teleportation, slowed time perception, temporary colorblindness, healing, & just about any effect that's convenient for the plot. Although they are not made for combat & will avoid it where possible, they will furiously defend whatever kitchen they are using.A few notes:
Sousundowa has 31 different forms, each with a different specialty for cooking & personality. The main Doll body changes forms based on the emotions felt by those nearby, but Sousundowa can manifest all of them or some of them. In either case, Sousundowa's main Doll* body will always take the form of Immature Sweetness & will no longer change, whereas the others will be kept solid through magical means & will be empowered instead based on the emotions of those nearby. When multiple forms are present, they take damage distinct from one another & will be reabsorbed into the main Doll body if they take too much damage, after which they must take anywhere from two days to a day to recover (in the world of Psytronius, this would normally only take a few hours, but incompatible magical energy means that Sousundowa must use his own magical energy rather than absorbing it from nearby).*Dolls are magical androids given sapience through the presence of a hermetically-bound soul inside of the vessel that will be difficult to remove. Although they have a mana battery where their heart would be, the total destruction of it is hardly worrying as they can still absorb magical energy from the nearby environment, although their actions & spellcasting will be greatly reduced in efficiency. If they are unable to absorb energy, Dolls will enter a torpor state where they will be unable to do anything. Like golems, Dolls do not feel the discomfort of pain & only detect it.If Sousundowa's main Doll body takes enough damage, Psytronius will attempt to retrieve them via portal (they continually monitor their Domeses' damage), after which they will no longer be participating in this roleplay as the Psytrines will not want to risk them. After that, there may or may not be another Domeses joining. In the event Sousundowa or another Psytrine is captured, expect several other Psytrines & a Parfuhmerian assassin to attempt to rescue them.
How about we say that Psytronius is pulled through due to some unstable magic activities from the Orcs? Since this roleplay might affect the canon of a few players (if they choose it to), I can't say that everyone will be comfortable with the existence of multi-verses where nations can travel at will. Therefore, it might be easier to say that your guys turn up because of some magical shenanigans that make it so.
How does that sound?

In addition if somebody wants to very firmly inform Velstrania that doing that is incredibly stupid (via military means) I'd also be down for that, it could be what makes the entire Haven finally descend into a civil war.
On paper I'm not against this, although I see a potential plot hole in the sense of how you would've been able to supply the Orcs without us knowing well beforehand and having stopped you before you did so.
I apologise for my lack of response to this as of late. I'm currently still working on updating the OP with more to do on the Orcs, Warmaster, and some general ground rules for the thread.
However, it is unlikely that anything will be finished until after the 22nd August at the earliest, or after 8th September at the latest. This is because I'm in the midst of wrapping up my summer work up until the former date, and planning and carrying out moving homes up until the latter date. Therefore, I ask that you be patient: there is no rush for this roleplay, and there's still a lot to sort out before it goes ahead. I will still be around on NationStates so I can answer any questions and ideas you have either here in the thread or via telegram, but bare in mind I might take a few days to respond.
Whenever I have the time I will endeavour to update the OP and dump all the worldbuilding I've been doing for the roleplay for your consumption and thoughts, but as I said, it's highly unlikely to happen before the 8th September at the latest.
