@Vahir I think the question was more about how far Oromis' army landed from Tolos. It can still be situated at the delta. Also, good luck with finals. Kick their collective asses!

Methinks three posts are in order then. The first one gets my little group ready to move south. The second one has them moving south and making the ram. And the third would be Myra and company taking the gates. Then craziness and violence ensues! Of course there would be other posts from y'all in between.

I'm going to try and get a post in soon, but a combination of my circadian rhythm being fucked inside out and family coming to visit is going to delay it a day or two.

Wonderful! I've already outlined the first of my three posts. I'll start working on it the Tuesday after I get back.

I am going to withhold my next post until after Lex, I have just been forced to edit part of my friend's doctoral thesis, so I am not going to want to write ANYTHING for the next few days.

Okay, so as it turned out, I did survive. Yay.

I'll now turn my attention back to where it belongs, this RP. I'll read through what you guys have been up to, and start writing up a post.

@RyanTadashi

Just one gripe about your post.

“Our witless Prophet has tolerated the corruption of the elven aristocracy for far too long. It is time for a new Tolos to be born, and in the wake of its impending rise, an entire new world. Find a doctor for your afflictions and purchase what supplies you need before departing the city. And do make haste. Oromis has returned to our earthly plane, and you are going to aid him in his conquest. We will be in contact.”


There is no elven aristocracy under the prophet, or any of the nations in the League; In fact, elves are persecuted throughout the region. The only place where elves rule (In the north, at least) is the Empire to the east, the traditional archenemy of the prophets.

Other than that, it's good.

Random shenanigans at work! Possible idea for the orcish war elephants? Can't link the damn thing from my stupid iPhone.

warcraftmounts.com/mounts/shadowhidepe..

EDIT: I was wondering about that myself, Vahir. So, the only places where elves are still in power are the EMPIRE of Tolos, not the city with the same name, and Xochimilco. Correct?

Correct. Even there, only Xochimilco is officially an elven kingdom; the Empire is nominally human, with a human emperor, even though everybody knows that the elves are the real power behind the throne there.

(I get the feeling that you're a WoW player!)

I'm not actually. Well, I used to play but no more. They still churn out some awesome looking creatures and monsters. I love finding visual aids for things. Keeps the RP fresh and interesting.

Oh, I thought that in your writeup on the city of Tolos said this:

"Despite this, the Tolosi Emperors proved both wise and merciful, not only sparing the elves, but assimilating them into the Empire as administrators, priests, and generals. A duality of power emerged, where the high nobility and the Emperor himself were human, and the elves served them and the Empire as nobles."

but because the Etruscans took over, they changed that in the city itself?

Sorry for the mistakes!!

Ah, I see the error; I should have been more clear. That was the Tolosi Empire, back in its hayday, when it ruled everything. When Oromis happened, the League split off in the west, motivated in no small part due to contempt for elves, and the Prophets have continued the whole "Humanity fuck yeah" thing.

If it helps, imagine that the Romans were ruled by a cabal of elves. When the germans invaded the west and set up their kingdoms in italy, they gave the elves the boot too. So the Roman Empire in the east would still be ruled by elves, while the kingdoms of Italy (Including Rome) would hate elves.

Damn, but that was the weirdest paragraph I've written in a while.

'Elves don't live in deserts' made me laugh. Just out of curiosity, will the Prophet fall for the trap? Or is this one of those 'wait and see' type deals lol?

Now we know how George R.R. Martin feels. I feel the same way, but I like it. There are a lot of conflicting goals and personalities, which will keep this interesting.

OH SHIT SON A NEW IC POST

Also, before I get to posting, the knights ARE leaving the city shortly, correct?

EDIT: "The city might very well come under siege soon: in fact, he was counting on it"

Do not want. Not one bit.
