Antediluvian Secrets (official POC worldbuilding thread)

[Transoxthraxia]

Is there any way I can be some Noble Officer's bastard son?

Also, what kinda tech are we in? Just so I get an idea for my attached picture. Like WW2? Cold War? Modern?

Sure you can.

Tech is a bit arbitrary, but we've agreed on 50-60. So early Cold War.

Edit: the ninja of the Night's Watch got me.

Ninja of the Night's Watch?

I like the sound of that.

[Rephesus]

Could I have the name of a noble to which my medic could be a bastard son? Maybe a Count?

There are the Van Oorbergs.

Is the App acceptable?

Of course. I'll add it in a bit.

[Nature-Spirits]

Well, not either really. More like German Czech. Like an area with a higher amount of Vyorony surnames, but are heavily Ezericized. Something like that really I think. It's a bit back in the thread. by a page or two.

I'd be amenable to that. Somewhere in the Lowlands obviously.

Here's my response.

[The Carlisle]

Also, I hope there isn't much of a problem with me going with a pure Finnish named character. I imagined the people of Revaalsbandt were Finno-Ugric language wise.

[The Carlisle]

Also, Ayr. You got Oorburg on there twice. You can cut the first one out since its a little dated.

'm not creative enough or caught up on all the lore we've created, so someone else can make the Czech-like region.

It's been mentioned several times, actually. "Uralic" is the language family it belongs to.

Your welcome Finland

'm not creative enough or caught up on all the lore we've created, so someone else can make the Czech-like region.

I guess I could help with it, since my character will come from there. Though by Czech-like, do you mean the geography is more like Czechia, or there are a lot of Czech-like surnames? If the latter, I would like it to be a more mixed, like Czech, Slovak, Silesian, and Polish.

I was going for my Czech like names and while the language would ultimately be Germanic, there would be words that are Slavic in origin. Also maintaining gender differentiation of surnames where applicable. Geography wise, go wild.

No rifle positions open, sorry. It's either AT gunner or IFV driver.

As I said before:

That should be okay, I guess. I imagine it would be quite remote, and quite Thornic in culture (with, of course, the Ezeric influence that permeates most of the continent). Perhaps an offshoot of the Hengistic (Lowlands Thorn) group, so there would actually be a fair bit of Ezeric influence. There would be little distinctive trace of the Vyorony culture in their practices, but perhaps they have an unusually large number of Vyorony proper nouns, and a few slang words that can be traced back, ultimately, to the Vyorony language, though said words would be heavily Thornicised (i.e. they would be derived from a Slavic root, but would also sound fairly German).

Oh dear! Well, how about we go the comical and have her on the AT?

That's going to be interesting, to say the least.

[The Carlisle]

Official Name: County of Hugeleg (Rolling Hills)
Local Name: Slatina (Moors)

A temperate climate dominated by rolling hills and plains. The area used to be moorish all over, but land clearance and new technology gave way to clearing of many of the marshes, turning it into a large agricultural area.

The place is unique because it has a high amount of names, surnames, and words related to the long dead Vyoroney culture. While the people are very Hengistic, there is a noticeable difference in accent, wording, and names between other Hengistic people. There are even different festivals and cultural interpretation between the people here and other Hengistics. The locals even call the county by a different name, Slatina, and go a different name called Slatina-lide. Because of this, archaeologists and anthropologists flock to this area to study the people and dig out older villages.

Despite the differences, the people are heavily mixed. In the north, its more Hengistic, in the center its more pure with the purity better as you go to the center, and more Ezeric in the south.

The people, despite there differences, are very united. A Hengistic speaking Slatina-lide and an Ezeric Slatina-lide feel more connected to each other than with the hengistic or Ezeric in the next county, even if the distance is so minimal.

Ah shoot I forgot the picture!

Here it is:

Yeah... so, when will the IC be up, and how do we know what unit we'll be with?
