[OOC] The Age of Blades [ALWAYS ACCEPTING]

[NarcissisticPotato]

Hey! This RP is going to be centralised around the Whitelands, right? If so, would it make sense for me to make a daughter of Duke Perris of Harrighfield that has been sent up to try and resolve the conflict with a marriage? As in, the Duke wouldn't want to go up against the King and his forces so he'll make peace with the Whitelands.

[Partisan]

Well, that would theoretically work if it weren't for the fact that the king isn't in Whiteland, he's in Volynia.

The hierarchy goes as follows:

1. King Etwine

\/

2. The dukes (Harrighfield, Weade, Rossric, Athos families)

\/

3. The respective nobles under them (earls, too many to count)

\/

4. The nobles that court in the earls' or dukes' courts. (Think knights, ladies, noblemen with no estates)

\/

5. The commoners, peasants etc.

The king rules the entire country of Borhilon, which is divided into the regions of Whitelands, Forklands, Falkhalls and the Iron Hills. He rules from the city of Volynia, which is located on the north side of the Falkhalls, though it is his land.

So while your idea would make sense, it only makes sense if the king was in the Whitelands, which he isn't. The war isn't being fought for the Whitelands purposes either, it is simply an internal war between the King and a Duke, about an iron mine. The king has the right to call other vassals to war, and so does the duke if he has allies within the realm. Since the Whitelands are quite loyal to the king, they answered his call to arms and sent an army to help the king, though the Weade family has no direct quarrel with the Perrighfields.

That said, I suppose it does make sense to reveal that the Perrighfields will be going to war against the Whitelands, as a seperate conflict soon after. The duke is dead, after all.

So in that sense, it would make sense for you to play that girl, but she'd not be fixing the war between king Etwine and lord Perris, but rather the war between duke Perris and duke Gregar, who is currently not duke since he has to be inaugurated still.

Can you still follow? It's quite a mouthful. If you want I can PM you some details on the whole ordeal, and give you a hand with a setting for that character, because I believe it's an idea that will work.

[RPforthatPR]

Ah, they're dukes? Would that make Amber Duchess of Rossric? I kept calling her Lady.

[Partisan]

Lady and Lord is merely titular, the same way you refer to your king as 'your highness' you refer to your duke or earl as 'your lordship' or 'your ladyship' or whatever fancy words you can think of. Really, the titles change as much as the names of those that hold it. :p

And that would make Amber the Duchess of the Forklands, Rossric being her family name (surname.)

[NarcissisticPotato]

I know the king isn't in the Whitelands, I just got a little confused on the conflict between the Whitelands and the Iron Hills. Somehow, I got it into my head that they were the ones at conflict over that iron mine. My mistake!

Anyhow, I really like the idea of playing a character who will be universally disliked by most in the Whitelands simply for the murder of their Lord but I don't want to spoil any plans you have for an all-out war between the Whitelands and the Iron Hills!

Maybe if she's simply a bargaining chip used to buy time for Duke Perris of Harrighfield to assemble his forces for a war? Or maybe he would use her to pacify the Whitelands? As in, he would marry her of to Gregar because she would urge Gregar not to go to war with her homelands and Gregar could be influenced by her?

I do have a few other ideas though, if that one doesn't really work so feel free to tell me if that makes no sense whatsoever! :P

[Inertia]

Interested, will finish up reading the first post, can't right now haha

@NarcissisticPotato

Ah, we all have ideas. I have so many I'm working on my next sheet and I still have 2 more planned. :P I sent you a PM.

Interested, will finish up reading the first post, can't right now haha

@Inertia

Hm, yes, my first post is not exactly SFW... I know what you mean. :P
On a serious note good to see we have so many people interested.

In case people find it interesting to know, I added my 3rd character to the character bin.

@Partisan

That's true, but I meant that damn the Opening post has chuck full of info so it'd take a bit haha

[Witch Beatrix]

Alright, threw up my character sheet, just waiting approval. Also, to pretty much anyone, my character's history is pretty open to editing, if anyone wants to be acquaintances or anything more. We can chit-chat here, or in PM, if the idea strikes your fancy.

Oh I can write more. Is that what you want? TELL ME DO YOU WANT MORE?!

@Witch Beatrix

I'll take a quick look at it, and I also added Gidja so perhaps they know eachother. IDK.

@Partisan

Well, considering that he is more than twice her age, and she doesn't seem like the type who can be bought or befriended by a quick-mouthed merchant, I would say that at best they would know each other by reputation, and not in a good way XD

@Witch Beatrix

Yeah sorry, I was kinda confused what character you posted and given that I was answering before reading it, I realized as soon as I started reading it. :p

Good character though, but he houses in Forklands right?

[Witch Beatrix]

@Partisan

That's actually a part I didn't think about, because if the majority of the action is starting in The Whitelands, I would think that becoming a member of a Whitelands court would be best, right? As far as involvement in the story goes, that is. But let's say, for arguement's sake, that he is housed in The Forklands. What would that mean for the character?

@Witch Beatrix

That would mean you'd need to have a talk with RPforthatPR and ask him what he has planned for a wealthy aspiring nobleman-esque character. As far as I know there's a plan that Java would fit right into.

But after that it might get lonely. :P

<Snipped quote by Partisan>

Do it do it

@Inertia

Maybe later, I should be studying right now. :(

@Partisan

That is all good to know, I'll be sure to get in touch with him. But, for arguement's sake, let's say Java managed to get into a court in The White lands, who would I chat with for that?

Maybe later, I should be studying right now. :(

Don't study, studying's for nerds, are you a nerd, nerd?

@Witch Beatrix

You'd chat with me, since my character is duke of the Whitelands.

And I am no nerd, but if I want to get all my credits I need to pass these tests, because these are resits. :P

[NarcissisticPotato]

I'll have my character up later!

It's alright, real life comes first :)

Well, it's system and chain management, aka 'our teacher was an idiot and so was the previous exam' class. :D
