@Nephriel- that's perfectly fine but I'm not a fan of dragging ppl along so I'll wait patiently for Kryytar to catch up then well see what happens.

@SyrupHamburger- So is the elven prince pretty much right outside the ruins? Would the others be able to see? I can usually visualize your posts but this last one proved a little fuzzy..

@Rockette- I must know what games you've been playing and if you played P.T. yet?

@Everyone else- okay guys here your boost of encouragement! Remember guys this started off as a sandbox but got an epic story instead thanks to Richard Hammond :-P BUT we can't just leave him to do all the heavy lifting, let's get those juices flowing! Let's
tray a bit and start forming the world around us to our liking so we enjoy ourselves and don't bail out. Think up something good and add it in the mix!

So far we got a few bits of lore that can be built on:

-Spire- What's beyond the spires? Treasure? Ruins? ALIENS?
-Goblins- there's goblins in there ruins! Why are they in the ruins? What language do they speak? Why are they (somewhat) edible??
-The Fae- the woods house their secret nature and powerful magic. But what do they even look like?
-Vampires!- YEA! Freakin vampires? Maybe even a werewolf too?

There's so many paths to take
With the fog of war blinding our paths, nobody knows where they lead so its up to us mapmakers to guide our children into the veil. Raise your lanterns and let the fires in your heart lead the way!!!

For realsies, I
ll put on my big boy pants tomorrow and post after work

Workin on a post.

That's actually a really good idea - damn why didn't I think of it.
Anyways, in my next post I plan on expanding a little more on Kylmi's family and their customs and whatnot.
And could expand on the Fey/Fae cousins of hers.

Edit: And I was playing Final Fantasy mostly, and then switched to Borderlands. <3
But no I haven't played P.T, not yet anyways. I've heard a lot about it and that there's a demo out, I believe[?]

That is the longest post I have ever made. I'm proud of myself for it.

@Rockette- which FF? A realm reborn? Also PT is a free game on Playstation Store. Its kinda a demo on what to expect for with the upcoming Silent hill game coming out. Its just crazy lol If you like borderlands you should get Destiny :)

People always say about Quality over quantity and a long post doesn't equal a good post... apparently "They" haven't read Pathfinders shizz! Really nice work XD I enjoyed reading that very much

@Romanbby - No, I haven't played that one. I haven't played any beyond XIII because I don't like them.
I was playing the HD remaster of X, then got bored with grinding for AP and went to play VII, I like to watch Aeris die for some reason.
Buuuuut Silent Hill is so much luff <3 I've played the second excessively. I need to download that demo!
Never heard of Destiny though, is it similar to Borderlands? [I'm assuming yes, but.]

@ Pathfinder - You have a very concise style that I really envy. Awesome.

I have discovered that I am one of those people that cannot handle praise without getting extremely flustered, but thanks you guys.

My post isn't on par with my usual ones but hopefully it will do for now... I'm still feeling kinda crappy but wanted to move things forward.

It was fuzzy because I was giving the story line a literal shove. Mundhir's "quest line" is epic, and inherently tied into the fate of Eulona, but it wasn't supposed to be the stagnant pond I fear it is becoming.

Basically, if you've paid attention, the Elves of Nillanor are led by a very aggressive Prince (lots of Princes in this RP), who was defeated by Mundhir in a surprise attack on the ruins of Baalor. Thrandel withdrew, but was not out right beaten, and was preparing to strike again (see Mundhir's first ever post). Mundhir had originally thought that without their siege weapons, and the dwindling number of the High Elven population, his victory at Baalor had bought him enough time to deal with his brothers first.

However my NPCs are NEVER plot devices, and I try to make them react/do things as one would expect. Thrandel would of had his scouts, and his informants - he would be aware to some degree of Mundhir's strategic weakness and the attempt on his life. So with this all in mind, the Elf has seen his chance to destroy Mundhir, along with five hundred fighting men of Eblistan - which is sizeable chunk of the city state's total army. This would have become clear in the IC, but I thought i'd best destroy some of the fog.

Okay, here's some Lore for you guys to work around.

Irongarde

Mountainous Dwarven Republic, led by an elected 'Foreman', who is in turn assisted by ministers he himself chooses. This realm was a province of the Eblistani Sultanate, and like Nillanor, it suffered horrendously in the wars between the Khanate and Eulona, and the Sultanate and the URFP centuries later.

It's situated south of the ruins of Ahya.

Goblins

Not evil, like they usually are. Reclusive, seeking to steer clear of danger and live in peace. They generally keep to themselves, and are viewed by humans as 'pests' or 'vermin'. Likewise, the Goblins perceive the humans, and other large folk, as one might perceive an elephant: big, scary, but probably okay so long as you don't annoy it.

They're small, the tallest being around 4'6ft, but generally hanging around 4ft.

Ugly too, imagine a hairless chimp with green skin and you got yourself a goblin.

.... That's all I got for now.

I could go on to describe what I had in mind for Nillanor, but the IC awaits.

EDIT: I'll knock up a map of Irongarde, for any folks who want to use the chaos of Eblistan's civil war as an excuse to run somewhere.

Okay, turns out I haven't got the time today. However, here's something I made earlier. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the map of Nillanor:

Feels like a weak post, but it'll get Kyrtaar moving. Sorry if it's bad dudes and dudettes, I'm tired.

It wasn't a bad post stephan. It got things rolling so in my book that's good. I'll get a post up which will have Rin stay in the shadows and do what he does naturally :) unfortunately that won't be for at least a couple hours, but rest assurred a post will come soon :)

/yawn
I'm entirely too exhausted to write much of anything today.
But I'll get something done tomorrow once I get off work. I have some lore tidbits for you lovelies.
Might have a post for Kylmi too, but it depends.

Work took precedent over my promised posting, so apologies.
c=

Sry guys I lost wifi and won't be able to post until maybe tonight late. Forgot to pay the bill lol

Ok, so since the vampire hunter guy hasn't responded we are kinda stuck.... if it's alright with SyrianHamster I'll just move us around him if he doesn't respond in the next day or so that way we can get a move on. :/

As for everyone else... are you guys going to go meet the Elven Prince dude? What happened to everyone? >.<

Permission granted. Yeah I myself was unsure what to do, I think perhaps that I should just plough ahead and meet Thrandel. To those of you who have gone AWOL, then I hope a creepy looking doll stashed away in your attic becomes possessed by a demonic force and eats your eyes and fingers.

I'm still here...
Tarwin has gone with the Prince.

Hey now, I'm still around. dx
Just work has been a struggle the past couple days and I had another dead line to meet.
My post will be coming today surely. c;

Yay! :)
