Dynasties of Heaven(Alternate History, OPEN, OOC/Signup)

[Kowani]

From the ashes of Xia, Dai will rise. The province is preparing for war, its ruler amassing armies and erecting defenses in preparation for his planned conquests. Will the young king conquer all of China or will he die on the field of battle, leaving his brother as regent for his son?

Yeah, he’s totally gonna die in battle.

[Aeyariss]

Yeah, he’s totally gonna die in battle.

I second this.

[Endem]

I'm going to drop out also, mostly because, despite the good premise of the RP, it's been disorganised and confusing. Also, I have lots of RPs going on, so I thought this one was the best one to drop out of because it's quite early.

But I'm keeping your soldiers

[Labstoska]

Is this RP open to new folk also if so would anyone mind giving me a rundown of what's happened so far?

We are. We are in the crumbling Xia dynasty (China, many thousands of years ago). There have been at least 2 major rebellions-the Ju dynasty and Drunken Lao (but I think he dropped out, so it might just be one now), and some minor skirmishes. Also. one guy killed a demon.

[Aeyariss]

So, reboot? I think someone ought to control the Xia Dynasty. Since everyone so far tries to overthrow the Empire. It's not fun if the Xia dynasty not fighting back.

[Kowani]

So, reboot?

We should probably wait for Loth. We can explain away Drunken Lao-alcohol poisoning.

[Aeyariss]

Aye, need to wait for Loth. Well from what I recall in the OP, the King drunk a whole long sip of 'spices' as well. Shouldn't the king be dead?

[Kowani]

I think those were drugs of some sort, not poison.

Bio: Li Fang, the elderly governor of Dai, was buried without an heir, his unofficial co-ruler Hou Taipang having been assassinated years earlier. Naturally, the governors of the surrounding provinces sent their armies to conquer the now weakened province. However, the warriors of Dai, having been trained from childhood, refused to allow their homeland to be pillaged and burnt by the invaders, and under the command of Li Fang's surviving generals, repelled the invaders. They returned to the capital and Hou Jianhong, the son of Hou Taipang, was crowned as king, his first act being to prepare for war.

It was not always like this. Hou Jianhong was expected to the bodyguard of Hou Jian once Hou Taipang had passed away, always being in his older brother's shadow. During the last few days of his training, a barbarian horde descended from the north, Li Fang and Hou Taipang marching to war with every warrior they could muster. A month later, an imperial messenger arrived with bad news: the imperial army was victorious, but Hou Jian had been slain in battle with the barbarians. This left Hou Jianhong as his father's heir, one that was not as beloved by those at court as the dearly departed Hou Jian. Desiring to prove his detractors wrong, Hou Jianhong joined the imperial army, eventually becoming the commander of a border outpost. However, when he returned home, he found out that his father had been poisoned by one of his rivals and Li Fang's son slain by bandits. Hunting down these brigands down, he engaged the leader in a duel and slew him, sending the man's daughter to the capital to serve as one of the emperor's concubines before returning to military service.

Nah, we'll have him keep marching and have me post about sending the minister of Wang's head to the Emperor as a saying that I'm coming after him.

We still need someone to RP The Emperor.

True, I only came back because it looked like Strala wanted to fight Lao while everyone was talking and the Drunk Demon was rampaging across Xia.

[Endem]

Turns out Xingtai is a very old city being around for so far as 3000 B.C.E and being the capital of Zhou, turns out I'll be dealing a mayor cultural blow

Bio: The Gao family have been intertwined with the economic fabric of Su for as long as it has existed, their careful and moral practice of mercantilism brought them up to being some of the most well respected and wealthiest men in all of Su. At their very height under Gao Zongwu's father: Gao Sen the financial tendrils of the Gao family stretched across all of Lu province and had grown to be deeply involved in the politics of the region. Gao Sen also had the ambition to fuel his rise to power, he sought to see his family ascend from the small world of Lu province into the lofty heights of the Imperial court. Wealth, respect and power in the golden age of the Gao family these three things had become a fundamental right of every Gao family member. Then the summer of Gao Sen came to an end and the winter of Gao Fang had begun.

Gao Sen had two sons: Gao Fang and Gao Zongwu, both were extremely adept in the art of business however Gao Zongwu was more inclined to the social side of business while Gao Fang preferred cold, hard numbers. When he was nearing his death Gao Sen was assured that under the leadership of his two sons the fortunes of the family would only increase and indeed in the first few years of their leadership they were able to follow up on their father's ambition and were now entering into deals with other merchant families from neighbouring provinces to expand the Gao family across the empire.

It was truly unfortunate then that on his way to Qi province Gao Fang and his party were attacked by a band of bandits, Gao Fang himself was captured and a hefty ransom was demanded if Gao Zongwu sought to see his brother again in one piece. Gao Zongwu of course paid the price and in accordance with the deal his brother was returned to him yet it was not the same man as the one who had left for Qi. When the bandits had Gao Fang in chains he was tortured, starved and stripped of all dignity. All this had given a new view of mankind, one in which he would now look at the world through rage-tinted eyes. No longer would the Gao family hold back in the acquisition of wealth, respect was worth nothing when compared to gold!

For ten long years Gao Fang had grown to be a debauched and hateful sadists, he had sacrificed the families wealth and respect in Su for the pursuit of his sickening desires and had piece by piece sold away the family business. Of all this Gao Zongwu had grown tired however more importantly he had grown tired of being side lined in the running of the Gao family, it started off as a mere thought, then the thought became an idea, the idea formulated itself into a plan, men were paid , an alibi was made and soon Gao Fang was dead. Now with Gao Zongwu at the head of the family with only a few farms, an iron mine and a merchant ship to his name his has set out to fulfil his father's dream and repair the damage done by his brother.
