Fragmenting of an Empire- Dark Fantasy Political Intrigue and Midevil Warfare RP

[XebenXeb]

Immigrants don't come this way, if they know what's good for them. The creationists are almost entirely all slaves and serfs, while the warrior class retains it's pagan culture. We do have to regularly put down revolts, but nothing too serious. Inter-nordic conflict generally comes from power struggles, as Jarls defy the High King.

I plan for Jaltmalljur to have a lot of trouble going on, for starters since it borders Ayreth, which means a lot of skirmishes have probably been going on for the past 200 years. The shameless imperials have also surely been sending a lot of missionaries to the north, which has me hoping my Jarl has been fighting a bloody inquisition himself in the southern parts of his Hold. You know, slaughtering anyone who dares try to flee to the more civilized south or even take their religion. And since I've decided to add the whole ancient occultism angle, it makes sense for the Jarl to have a big demand for more slaves since the rituals involve cannibalism and sacrifice on a progressively larger scale. I'll be secret at first, but depending on what will be happening in the north, it could become more public.

Right now I'm thinking he will be very interested with war in the empire, and if that doesn't happen, he might even look further north to fuel his bloodlust.

Obey your king and wage war when I tell you to.


See people, we're already seeing the issues with these jarls.

You're supposed to have issues- that's the whole point. The pawns are to turn on the kings.

I like that idea, Xeb. Creativity <3

We must have BLOOD, GOLD and GLORY. You can't expect us to sit here freezing our balls off while them southerners swim in their ill-gotten gold.

He is a weak king, is he not? You would do much better on that throne of ice, wouldnt you? You can easily slap him off the throne, I bet.

And I thought I answered it, but I guess not. The Inquisition acts kind of independent of the rest of the church, and doesnt need the arch-bishop/pope's permission for anything. However, if the Arch-Bishop makes a request (well, demand), the Arch-Canon and his dogs must comply.

I've done some math. Assuming that the Empire is about the same size as the Ottoman Empire, I've collected the following data:

Size: 750 000 square miles
Pop Density: 80 p/m
Population: 60 000 000
Capital Population: 150 000 people
Max army size: 3 600 000 men

Kingdom of nords stuff:

Size: 200 000 square miles
Pop Density: 60 p/m
Population: 12 000 000
Capital Population: 55 000 people
Max army size: 840 000 men

Note: That's MAX army size, and the closer you approach it, the worse off your economy will be, as there won't be enough farmers. Past that many soldiers, the soldiers aren't just hungry or starving, they're dying.

Sounds about right, actually. How did you calculate that?
