Query: do the posts for this have to be recountings of dramatic events, or could it say...be a popular folk tale, an urban legend, etc? There are certain things I am better at, and while I like to challenge myself, every so often it's nice to play to my strengths as well


You could totally do some folklore from the period. If you do, I'd recommend leaving out the name of the ruler at the top, adding 'ca.' to the date of publication in the quote (maybe leave author as 'Unknown'?). Something like this:

Is there a minimum or maximum number of these events/eras which should go into each post?


Absolutely not. These are just events that happened that likely shaped the character.

Okay cool. I'm still just trying to figure out what we're writing about/reporting. How about an adventurer type who explores the far-flung mysterious regions of the land? Is that an acceptable article type?

Well, it's worth considering who has the money to pay for a history. Likely not an adventurer, unless they are quite wealthy. Generally, chronicles are about the events that happen in the simulation, such as wars, large diplomatic and policy movements, stuff like that. Folklore is fine, but generally this sort of thing should be an epic of sorts. It's also beneficial for everybody to write about the same somewhat limited cast of characters so that people aren't too spread out.

If you're hankering to write about an adventurer though, I'd recommend writing about a particularly wealthy one that pulled a Marco Polo and went someplace suitably distant (Aedria to Paradise, for example). You could then detail the adventurer's encounter with the local ruler (in this example, Lord Governor Dalleio Beachborn Sunwalker, Sultan of Paradise) and talk about the things happening with that ruler during that time.

Hopefully that's helpful. It may be beneficial if you go on the discord if you have further questions on the topic, so we can talk a bit more fluidly.

OK so I'm gonna be mad busy tonight and also Monday. I hope to finish an app for another RP on Tuesday (hey, it's a long history section), at which point I can write for this one on Wednesday.

No promises but that's the plan.

We don't have to, I was pinging since you two haven't been very active since the interest check. There's no requirement for activity, just seeing you were still interested.

If you aren't; no hard feelings, but I'd rather you not quit because you feel like there's an activity obligation.
