@Kho You have 3.5x what I have (give or take) so this makes more sense than what you posted earlier.

I think I'll be making a Character Sheet for the Province of Emperiat and little king Elendin as well. Just to convey information more easy.

@Kho Well I think there is a bit of a focus on the nation/province, where as I'm really just focusing on the character interaction. Whether my province is big or small shouldn't matter, since I have tools at my disposal that upset pure numerical values of the provinces.

Namely the wit and charm of my knight.

That and the fact that, compared to Andaluja (Andalusia, you can't fool me) my guys are basically space marines.

@Buddha I wanna hear your character yell 'FOR THE EMPERAH' at least once.

@Buddha xPP I admit, the name is derived from Andalusia yup, and the coat of arms is that of the Emirate of Granada. Other than that though, no relation whatsoever ^^'
Haha, and yup, that they are. Which is why 'tis best for me to befriend you. Plus our two provinces are nowhere near each other and thus aren't much of a direct threat to one another. As is though, we'll sort any future relations ICly (though you didn't comment on the historical relationship I suggested, thoughts?)

@Flynn I'm just wondering, since Buddha's words made me think about it, how much control, exactly, do we get over our respective Houses and provinces? Do we only directly control our character? Or do we get generic NRP control over our province as well?

@Kho You'll have control over anyone coming from your province, but since we only play at court, this only means the adviser. You might send letters to your province asking for certain forms of support and you can type up the reaction of receiving this letter for example. In agreement with the GM, this support can be given yay or nay.

There are certain rules and regulations for each province as we start the RP. At times there will be council meetings where these rules and regulations get reviewed again. If you have managed to influence the king, perhaps he's willing to change these rules in favor for your province, making it stronger, and able to grand your character more support.

Later, when existential threats also arise, the focus will shift from the court to... some places else. Then you'll be able to take control of other characters of your province as well.

@Flynn That can be a thing.

@Kho The historical relationship would make sense, however it's very bland. An exchange of knowledge and people.. yeah. Okay, that's not that big of a deal. :p

@Buddha And the call to arms against the horde? Keeping in mind this was all before Andaluja became part of the Grand Kingdom. If you have other ideas, I'm open to them ^^'

@Flynn I expect we'll be told these rules before starting. Will each province start off with the same rules as the others?

@Kho Some are different then others. Depends on how the Province was integrated in the Empire. And of course you will! I... just have to come up with them.

@Buddha to quote:
'Perhaps Eskanadra had a good enough relationship with Dieuporteille...that they answered a call to arms against the heathen hordes. Thoughts?'

Basically, when the hordes invaded, Andaluja did not yet exist. What say you that Dieuporteille called upon the Eskanadrans in the war to subjugate the horde? (Eskanadra had a good quality, large military before they joined the Grand Kingdom, but the King forced them to dismantle it once they joined).

So:
Dieuporteille halt the Horde
Grand Kingdom mobilises to subjugate it
Dieuporteille call upon Eskanadra to help defeat the heathens
Combined forces subjugate the Horde

@Kho Hmm, I imagined the Dieuporteilleans are fucking full of it with pride, so it seems sketchy that they'd do that.

It'd be easier to assume that Eskanandrans acted on their own accord (much like how crusades were really disorganized armies who just did shit randomly) and the Dieuporteilleans merely accepted them as unsolicited, but always welcome allies in this short lived fight?

Well, since we got most stuff in, I'm hoping to write the first IC post tomorrow. When we start, your characters are just arriving in the capital. They are greeted by a large crowd who can either be very passionate about your arrival or... loathing. You decide.

I'm still working on the map and the information about Emperiat. @Cyclone is also still busy on his thing, but he can join later, since his character is not actually invited anyway. ;)

ARE WE EXCITED!?

@Flynn Is that a question to ask? I've been sporadically adding to my sheet all day xD lets get this thing started!

@Cyclone Hmm, so Andaluja has been part of the Grand Kingdom since 236 179 PA (its now 299 242 PA). If the Khargats invaded and were subjugated nearly 100 years ago (around the same time Yesini @Ryuzaki was conquered) that would mean that it was before Andaluja joined. Perhaps Eskanadra had a good enough relationship with Dieuporteille @Buddha (perhaps Dieuporteillians used to go there, and still do, for religious studies etc? Creating a rather amicable relationship?) that they answered a call to arms against the heathen hordes. Thoughts? Because from what I read it seems the horde was concentrated in the west and didn't do much in the east before their eventual subjugation (but, like with the Meda-Chabians, perhaps there have been Khargat raiders coming in over the Andalujo-Belintashian border, which has added to the friction).


Sure, Andalujo men might have spilt their fair share of blood battling the heathen hordes. They might have been motivated to join by a few prior Khargat raids into Andaluja.

Edit: oh,a nd @Cyclone, just remembered, I mention in my sheet that Laxion travelled to the lands beyond the western border in his youth, and was eventually captured by brigands as he was returning. Perhaps he set out with a Khargat trading caravan? That would mean he has a rather good understanding of their ways. I'm also thinking that the brigands who captured him were in fact Khargats (not sure if independent Khargat raiders would raid the Khans caravans now and again...) but eventually released him when they realised that he spoke their language and understood their ways pretty well. Thoughts?


Sure, you have my permission to weave all this into a story for him. It would be strange for an outsider to just join a Khargat caravan, but if you can explain that then the rest of the story makes perfect sense. Random Khargat brigands would indeed be tempted to raid the Khan's caravans because if they can steal spices/horses/slaves then that's the equivalent of striking gold. Issue is that the caravans are of course guarded, so while begin set upon by bandits is plausible it wouldn't be a common thing.

@Flynn

I expect to be done with the sheet today anyways, but I suppose it would make sense if Chugo comes a bit late. It would take a while for the Khanate to hear about all these advisers being called for and then find one of their own cronies to send.

@Flynn Speaking of, between working on my own medieval RP, and working on my exams thursday, as well as having to teach some imbecil kids in my karate class tonight, and arranging their belt exams coming friday (I get to grade them. I'm failing all of them.), I might not be able to post straight away tomorrow..
