That's fine, I was holding off on making one at first until a few sheets came in, was going to put one up today in fact since I realized it could make nation planning easier between players.

Snow: and yes that area is open, now to really dig into the unused shades for more colors.

Working on the map proper now that I have my laptop back. I'll try placing everyone's settlements in the proper places, I wont touch on places that have not been finished yet.

[babbysama]

Are there still spots open for this?

Pretty much One spot left, two if you don't mind an Island hold.

[babbysama]

Wonderful! In that case, can I claim the final spot?
Will get working on my sheet ASAP

Question.
In the way that a bastard from The North is a Snow, a bastard from Dorne is a Sand, etc. do we have bastard naming conventions?

Well I never really thought about that, aside from peasants having no last names.

I suppose if people want to though, they have the freedom to have special last names for bastards. It's an interesting and practical enough concept that I don't mind it being used.

Better than just having the last name 'Bastard.'

Sure thing. I'll even give you the bit of main land just south of you if you want it.

And with that that's it for areas on the map, unless someone drops who has claimed a spot there can be no more nations.

I'll still leave it open awhile for people willing to play single characters or heads of smaller factions like guilds. The nice advantage of having a character focused NRP is there's always room for more.

If anyone is interested in having tensions with my house go ahead just pm me also all houses on the far left coast are welcome to say raiders raided them and weather or not you wanna use the name Kraken Horde is up to you once again just PM me.

Alright, here's a bit of fleshing out on my part for the passage of time in Elyden.

Calendar

The unique nature of the Long Summer has caused the measuring of time by seasons impossible. To this end, the Arcane Guild created an ingenuous magical device known as the 'Wheels.' The wheels are large magically powered clock like platforms, dominated by a single 'hand.' Numbers dot the side of the wheel, with the wheel shaded and coloured with three distinct sections all equal in size to its neighbour on the wheel. The numbers of these massive magic fuelled wheels count from one to eighty for each segment of the wheel. The 'One' character being the first number that it crosses for each new segment, otherwise known as months. Elyden thus tells time as follows. Also of note: A half hour is measured by a 'candlemark', while a full hour is often called the 'turn of a glass' associated with of course hour glasses.

Turn of the wheel means an entire year has passed.

Colouring onto Zieliah/ Seliel/ Achiel is a common saying that means that the month is soon coming to an end. Example: “I hope this midwinter ends this colouring.”

'Day of Dawning' is what the first day of a month is called.

Elydenian counts their passage by 'turns of the wheel' rather than years. Example: “Meh boy's turning on four turns of the wheel this new moon.”

Year: 698
Moons: Sielyr, Kasdiel, Jeha

Zieliah- 80 days
Seliel- 80 days
Achiel- 80 days

I am interested in this game. I was wondering if I could chose to be, to use an ASOIAF reference, a Free City. That's it, a merchant City-State or something like that.
