@Mihndar I've already made a post about your intelligence :3

I managed to get out of Cyclone's giant post, but I think I have PTSD now.

I've left the post, but the post will never leave me...

But that would be easy, you could just copy and paste this.

@Hael

Any thoughts that aren't related to how big it was?

Yes, no, maybe. I don't know, I think I'm still in shock. Am I?

Alright, I think I'm good now.

Nice imagery:
"The sun's baleful glare gleamed off the beads of sweat that covered near every face"

This showed their fervor and devotion well:
"Babur silenced it all by merely pointing to that proud, mighty Dragon. The people understood. They too turned to face the banner and then fell to their knees in reverence. The air was silent once more, the only movement being that of the sand and dust that was swept up by the wind."

Makes a good point about Babur's fair and honourable personality:
"This is not how it is supposed to be. He is of my own blood."
"Babur draped the cape over his slain brother, so that when the men carried him back to the palace his hideous wounds would not be seen"

And...lemme think...nope, all my other thoughts are about how big it was.

EDIT:
"'End his suffering', resonated a deep, ancient, fiery voice in Babur's mind. The voice of the Dragon"
Wrong. That was clearly the Will of Kal. Your heathen King should be honoured to hear such glory, as the Prophet Lord Hamry once did (I did something almost exactly identical in Chapter 2 of my history, is what I'm saying)

@Hael Have you ever thought that Kal might be the Dragon?

They call it the Dragon,the Firedrake, the Ajdar, Lord of the Etern Sky, and whatever else I feel like making them call it if those names get old.

But its true name is not said, so it very well could be called Kal. That's the main reason that Ajdars are so willing to cooperate with Kals. Their religions are almost identical aside from the symbols and the fact that your religion doesn't state that if the world is united a big dragon will come down and transform everyone into an immortal god like him.

That's a fairly big difference, but it's more akin to different Muslim sects/Christian denominations that it is to entirely separate religions.

So basically, you would burn a Kal because they are a heretic, rather than because they are an infidel.

@Hael Have you ever thought that Kal might be the Dragon?

Ya, I've thought that. Actually, I figured that perhaps the real reason the religions are so similar is that- KalMea and Tin being so close by- many ideals of Ajdar spread to Kal's Flame, and vice-versa. I almost considered mentioning that the Prophet Kulsan was partially inspired by the dragon-worshippers from over the Great Mountains, but I decided against it considering that a Kaliab writing an official account of history would never mention or believe that.

Their religions are almost identical aside from the symbols and the fact that your religion doesn't state that if the world is united a big dragon will come down and transform everyone into an immortal god like him.

Kal's followers believe that, in the end, the world will be consumed by Kal's fire and all existence will cease. Basically, Kal will destroy the world the same way he created it, and create a new one in it's place.

@Hael

Back to the topic of stuff my insane little duelist did, I figured that for this RP I'd take a go at giving my characters some depth. Usually they're pretty one-dimensional.

...and I know I failed utterly to give Babur's brothers any depth. I thought about adding one flashback that would humankze Dhiyar, but he really was supposed to be a decadent asshole and somebosy that Babur almost never even talked to. That, and warming readers to him just before having Babur plunge a dagger through his eye ten paragraphs down would make me feel like George R. R. Martin.

While we're here, how goes your history with Tin? :P

@Hael

I knew it was coming...

right now I'm torn between writing my Tin Man history, my first RP post, and I'm moving to a new house in reality. It's taken so much time so far because I wanted to get Chapter 1 and 2 of my history finished first. Now that those are finished, Chapter 3: The Dragon Wakes (my dramatic name for the Tin invasion) will be next up. Following that, there's a Chapter 4.

He may have killed his brother, but Premier Velikaya killed an empire and avenged her father in the process. So there.

Dragon, shmagon, kal, shmal. The PRK cares not for your fraudulent deities.

Also in all seriousness I am going to be mostly absent for the next day and a half because my mother insists I go camp out in the wilderness with the Boy Scouts. But once I return an IC post will surely be in the pipeline.

And that truly is an incredible post. I could feel the desert heat beating down upon me as I watched the two brothers battle to the death.

Did anyone catch the detail that Babur's uncle Nahku was indicted for treason a while back and fled from Tin? I might eventually do something with him, but currently I have no plans. I'm just laying down eggs so that if I ever need a new plot, it can hatch from some events that were previously set in motion rather than just occur spontaneously.

But anyways, does anybody want their nation to be secretly granting him asylum? If not, I suppose he'll live on the north pole with some elves that he enslaved, forcing them to make toys each year for children.

Or maybe he's living with Yoda in the middle of some swamp.

When was this?

@MihndarThere never was one.

If he is anti-imperialism Tiqsimuyu would gave him asylum very easily or he supports that Tin leaves the Zanjar Islands that works too

Next post will probably involve a lot of emissaries being sent out to acquire trade pacts, as well as military happenings with Eisenkreis. Also thinking of showing off Black-Iron and a few of their prominent members.

I think my NS has enough information that I can make a post. I'll be adding in history sometime this weekend, and military sometime after. So, considering some stuff with my first post, would it be okay for there to be Navari spies/assassins in the nations with a decent human population(so like everyone). They'd be called Blood Priests, highly skilled in the ways of combat, information gathering, and torture, and are trained by the Church of Navarus in how to resist similar techniques if ever taken alive, a very difficult thing to do since Navari never surrender.

Well, nations in real life spy on eachother 24/7.

I would like more detail on these Blood Priests, however. What sort of info are they gathering? Why is it particularly aimed at human nations? I only have a 20% human population, so do I count as one of the nations to be spied on?

And most importantly, what sort of person are they looking to assassinate? Or is all this confidential?

Eisenkreis is too busy spying on itself to have someone else spying on them! D:

In all seriousness, if they would feasibly be that far, and have the talent to learn the Eisenkern language, then by all means, set up a PM and we can work something out .-.

@Hael20% might be, and human nation because it'd be easier to blend in since they are basically human for all intents and purposes, though they may not see themselves as such. And while Umbraisis isn't looking for anything particular or tryong to kill anybody yet, the Navari head rep. is eager to find out if the other nations have any secret weapon tech that can be replicated in Umbraisis or sabotaged. They might also try and kill a high ranking member of one of the Nations, perhaps one of the leaders, and try to start a war that Umbraisis can't possibly stay out of.

It's a known fact thoughout the world that Umbraisis is an unstable country, barely holding itself together, so the Navari might also be planning something behing the Unified Kingdoms back, collobrating with another country to target another.

The Blood Priest were once the Navari version of the Spanish Inquisition or the Secret Police, going around and targeting those who they thought were shirking away from the belief of Navarus, and punishing them harahly for it. However, since most Navari are extremely stubborn and unwilling to give in to others, the Blood Priest simply got better at breaking people and getting info. They are supposed to have been disbanded when Umbraisis was formed, but it was decided that their skills could be put to better use, as it was during their war with the Heavenly Empire in getting information from elvish prisoners. The training for these priests began to include counter-interrogation methods, how to blend in with the populace of an area more easily, as well as learning Stealth tactics from the Silme Nightowls(which I'll get into another time).

So, in total the spies will just be keeoing Umbraisis, or at the very least, the Navari informed about current events in other countries, as well as beings pawns set in place for plausible assassination attempts.

[@Althedil] Will do.
