I I've been thinking about future plans as far as this "war" is concerned. I'm not sure what everyone else has in mind but I think Torin is going to attempt to seize some strategic lands (mostly farmland and other agriculturally rich areas, including ore mines near the foothills of the mountains which separate Gem territory from Drakken territory) through occupation rather than military conquest. I figure since Gemminia doesn't have much in the way of military power aside from the rebels (and they'll be busy fending off whatever hostile forces start invading them, from the Drakken and otherwise, so far as I can tell). Anyway, the whole escapade borders on a peaceful takeover. Since the Gems are so accustomed to Drakken protection, it would not be unthinkable that certain regions (especially those near the border of the Wild Lands or whatever we're calling the enemy territories they were previously being protected from) for the people to swear fealty to a Drakken lord in exchange for that same sort of protection, except it's based on the whims of a few individual warlords instead of being a national treaty. I'm sure there will be new terms but I'll work out the details later.
However, I don't think this is a one-man effort. I'm sure Rynek (
@NarcissisticPotato) would want to get in on the action, seeing as he's not particularly excited about the declaration of war. It would be a good way to establish himself as something of a world power. I'm not sure about the others' intentions. Zakroti (
@darkwolf687) seems to pity the Gems and is hinting at aiding the rebels so I don't know what sort of a role he might play in this, it could easily turn into a power struggle. Praeth (
@OldManWong) also seems sympathetic, though it's unclear at this point what he plans to do.
Anyway, just throwing that out there. I love plotting and I think having a goal like this to work toward would help stimulate the RP.
