Maps are done!

Emanseria cities

Fae
Eadric: “ead” rich and “ric” ruler, literally it's the place where the rich Fae hang as well as the king of the Fae
Eira: “mercy” this is the city based in Jairo mountains, the largest Fae city that has many many soldiers as this is the city that uses the Jairo mountains to keep the East out of this area of Emanseria
Holbrook: “hol” hollow/sunken, “broc” steam, this city is on the shore of the Nahla lake and looks a lot like our Venice or Amsterdam with dykes and houses on water and stuff.
Tariq: “morning star” this city is based on the Dorian cliffs where many air ships are made and test flown over the Dorian marshes, the people here live right on the cliffs and so are accustomed to having to watch each other's backs constantly
Xenia: “guest friendship” this city was founded on the only mountain in Elf territory to establish peace between the two races, because of it's location it is a large trading city among the cities of Emanseria.
Trade cities: Tadeas, Xenia

Elves
Agoston: this is a small town based in the ending hills of the Jairo mountains, just like Eira this town has the role of watching that the East and other intruders stay out of Emanseria.
Darja: the capital city of the elves, based in the middle of the Nairi forest
Hai halls: these are the small settlements of Elves next to the Nimue river, instead of their own holes, they live in halls with a family per hall. This is because the coast is so barren there are not enough resources for individual burrows.
Haneul: this city is at the base of the Xenia mountain and is part of the peace making political strategy.
Jabari: the largest trade city of the elves
Pipaluk: The agricultural capital of Emanseria this town is a 24/7 market in some areas, and is the hub of most major exports in the country.

Other places of note
Edita A small settlememt in the very centre of the Nahla lake,
Adorjan's cross After the waterfalls (Eira falls] there are two rock outcroppings that are joined by a rope and plank bridge. Fae legend says that the rock used to be a bridge until one of their god destroyed it while escaping from a giant.

Working on a few Fae gods as well

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Awesome map, great to have a geographical reference. I'll work on a post tonight.

Hah, Fritz is great. This kid will go far.

Btw if you feel like we need another supporting character, I'd be glad to play one. Maybe an elf since we haven't seen much of them yet. Though I'm in no hurry, only if its needed.

[Balthazar]

Alright, my post will be up in a couple of hours

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Fun fact: Aergar would've been giggling to himself for a long time if Fritz had accepted his "quest" because he made it up on the spot. No such vaguely mentioned tree exists, to his knowledge anyway.

If we want to spin off the idea of Fritz being an alchemist, perhaps that is his purpose or destiny. I don't know if you had something else in mind for him, but he is apparently supposed to be some kind of turning point in history here, and he is already quite the scientist. I don't know if, being human, he would be able to learn magic from Ada, but alchemy is more of a science and while an alchemist cannot always be a magician they can still use magical elements. I mean, I guess that depends on how we would define an alchemist in the context of this world. It's kind of a vague term, I was thinking someone who is like a scientist/chemist because that's what ancient alchemists (in our history) were, but with a lot more mystical/magical elements sorta thrown in there given the context of this world. They'd be scholarly and intelligent, have curious natures, and love to experiment and invent beyond the realm of chemical elements.

However, if he was going to learn how to be an alchemist, he would need a teacher. I have a character in mind that could work but I want to hear what you guys think.

[Lord Pie]

Yeah definitely an awesome map! That will be really handy once we begin to travel around and things! Need to have a proper look and read through the cities and things.

I think that is definitely an interesting idea, though I believe he was going to be also learning magic from Ada, although that could still definitely work - as a human with a knowledge of chemistry and what not I'm sure he would excel at alchemy. Also I think it could be good to introduce said character a little later on - as then we'd all three have a character with the 'main group' which we could focus on, also depending on what you had in mind the dynamic between whoever and Ada could be most fun, especially if Ada thinks magic is far superior, the alchemist thinks alchemy is far superior, and they are both trying to teach Fritz as much as possible?

Also I've got a post for Fritz out, and will be getting a Sparrot/Phrenesis one up asap! :)

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Haha a little competition. That would be fun, especially of Ada and the other had some sort of history. Balthazar I think I may pm you about that, I've got a couple of ideas if you're willing to hear them. Even if it's not a particularly important character it's good to have auxiliary characters helping out once in a while. NPCs can get boring or easily overused.

[Balthazar]

Alright, quick post is up. Feel free to PM

Introducing Duplo

[Balthazar]

Once Fritz is recruited Duplo will head us in the direction of Eira to the library after a very important book altero literally titled: the other world.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

That escalated quickly.

lol

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

This is like a really dark Wonderland/Narnia crossover spinoff. I love it.

[Balthazar]

I actually completely forgot about Narnia
good books those were

Wow yeah :) I read this first and was like 'huh?' And then read the new post :p

I'm working on my post as we speak - I again hope to get it finished tonight but I'm afraid I cannot guarantee this. Same as before though if not it'll definitely be my first priority to finish it in the morning.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

I'll post in a few hours.

[Balthazar]

urg... my creative juices are not flowing. I can't seem to fill a paragraph

Don't know about you but today has been urg, because of the change of season my astma is so bad I can barely keep myself walking due to lack of oxygen. My nose has bled twice spontaneously, my dog is sick so there goes this month's paycheck (which I desperately need) and our school grads are having their exhibition so it's a pain in the arse getting their stuff mounted and ready, my best friend is having family problems, I have a project due tomorrow and I am not ready to face all this. Rant over.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Man that sucks. You'rw not the only one having an off-week though. But I must say my problems are emotionally-based and not as tangible as yours, but inconveniences are inconveniences nonetheless.

[Lord Pie]

Definitely not good to hear Balth! I hope things are looking up now, but yeah we definitely all have our problems then.

Mine are regarding my own health and finances and the general joys of full time work.

I hope this weekend treats both of you very well and that things will be looking much better for you!

[Balthazar]

Thanks guys, I've had a very relaxing and fun day so I've burnt off a lot of stress. Your posts are getting more and more brilliant, and I'm really loving the inclusion of geography

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Yeah it's nice to have the map for reference.

I hope you guys are having a good weekend, mine started off brilliantly. I skipped class and went to the Renaissance Festival with my best friend. Good times.
