[OOC] The Plague called Mankind.

*grumbles, wanting to get a move on*

[GhostWing]

Aww.... I just saw this! DX

[WileyCoyote]

I haven't checked to know for sure but if I'm the only one holding everyone up please go ahead and move without me and I'm sure I'll find some way to catch my character up. My housemate still isn't home, long hours tonight I guess, and I'm not sure when exactly he'll get here for sure. In the future I'll keep the old mic with me just in case, but I was under the impression my new mic would be here today and that ended up not happening.

[Flynn]

Unfortunately, you're not the only one who we are waiting for Wiley. And even more bad news... My pc is fried and needs repairing. That means I'm not able to be a total overseer. So I think I will have to ask for a co-gm who keeps an eye on activity and other OOC stuff. Who is up for the job?

[Major Ursa]

I've been here the whole time...just spectating...
Maybe people should start posting at slower intervals...upload the voice acting/vocals sometime later...?
-.- <( . . . )

[WileyCoyote]

If no one else would like to feel free to have me do whatever is needed. I am, unfortunately, or fortunately, depends on how you look at it, much better at keeping other people together and organized than myself, haha. I lurk around here everyday, and have two computers so I'm always around. I'll help out with whatever I can regardless of who you appoint (:

Speaking of which, I remember some talks about maps being made, and I'd like to volunteer to get that underway if you haven't already done it. Mostly for my own knowledge of where the heck we are, but of course for everyone else too.

[ReaptheMusic]

by all means.

[Flynn]

Awesome to hear so of all you guys. And about a map... I was thinking of it. I am a crappy drawer, but I can make a general sketch and maybe you can do something with it?

And that is actually not such a bad plan Major Ursa. That way posts will take 'less time' to make.

[Major Ursa]

:3
*wiggles under Flynn's feet*

[Lionheart]

I'm so sorry for the delay, I was unable to record until now. Hopefully I should be able to work out time as we move forward.

[WileyCoyote]

Oh that's perfect! I was saying I would make one from scratch if you needed it but if you can at least give me a rough sketch that would be even better and I could def whip it up into something for everyone to use. I'm not making any promises on it being beautiful or anything, but I'm a decent artist and it should work. c: So just a rough sketch of where you want everything laid out with a small list of the names of the places spelled how they're wanted would be all I need. And if there are any future lands we won't use now but need to be on there lemme know about that too.

EVERYBODY ELSE
For anyone who made their character come from somewhere specific they made up for themselves that you would like included on the map, please give me the official name/spelling and like a short description of the makeup of the land/village, it's people, and/or whatever specific details you think would be important for people to know should your specific place ever need to be used by us in the rp for more than just reference. Otherwise I'll have to guesstimate it from whatever you have listed in your CS and I don't want to mess anything up. If you're alright with being just generally from Merovah or the valleys, that's fine too, I just want to make sure. (:

Glad to hear we'll be getting a cartographer. I hope this is helpful- I tried to PM it to you, but I kept getting the "The Guild is down" error message... So I figured I'd just post it here:

I never really specified exactly where in Merovah Sir Benjamin was from, since the initial post didn't contain too many specifics about the layout of the country. Actually, I was kind of under the impression that Merovah was not so much one state as much as a series of loosely-aligned petty kingdoms, separated by politics, culture, and religion and stuff. But that's neither here nor there. I figured Benjamin was from somewhere southish, in sort of a wealthy area with good farmland and stuff. I never named the castle settlement he grew up in, but I think it should be called Redwall, maybe after a reddish stone its built from. I figured that would be appropriate, since I mentioned in passing that Sir Benny's previous arms (before he changed them to broken shackles) was a red tower, so presumably he chose the design in honor of his family home. Since it's the seat of power for a fairly important noble family, the castle itself would be large and well-built, as much for comfort as for defense. The settlement would be either a large village or a small town, mostly agricultural, maybe with a smattering of cottage industry or even a bit of mining, or something.

The "small fortified keep" that he and his nascent little branch of the family is given by Lord Jorik Siskus would be somewhat less impressive. Probably just a glorified manor home with a wall and a three or four towers around it. I didn't bother to name it either, but I think "Broadshield Hall" would be appropriate. Being a bit of an egotist, it would be just like Sir Benjamin to rename his new residence after himself. It would probably be close to a farming village not far away, the fields worked by a mixed bag of serfs, freemen, and slaves. I never described the location of Broadshield Hall relative to Redwall, either- I figure it'd be fairly close by, in lands controlled by the senior branch of the Siskus family. Anywhere you want to put it, really, would be okay by me.

But anyway, I'm rambling.

[WileyCoyote]

Thank you! That was very helpful and I will be sure to include his homes on the map! c:

[ReaptheMusic]

"The Woods of Diin" would be somewhere far south, and cover a pretty big area. There are tons of Rumors about the Woods of Diin. They were named when Merovah was first colonized, and the travellers who went through were often terrorized by a loud noise, or 'Din' that threatened to come close to them, sounding like a feral beast. Many of the travellers who went through were lost as they went through to the strange creatures there. From wood fae to werewolves.
Eventually, after all started to 'westernize' in Merovah researchers went back into the (at the time) Woods of Din to find Orc tribes set up there, they were the ones who had been hunting the early settlers and making the feral noise that they had heard so long ago. After communicating with the Orcs [on a very strained and hostile level mind you] the Orcs took on the name for the Woods of Din, pronouncing Din as 'Deen' with their accent. Over centuries Orcs have been taken out for slavery purposes and shipped elsewhere while developing a more western way of life, and keeping their traditional blood thirsty rituals. Many people still don't go into the Woods of Diin still unless they have an Orc escort or using the only road to get into the next country over, fearing the other uncultured creatures within the Woods of Diin.

[WileyCoyote]

Great! That'll be added!

[ReaptheMusic]

I'll post soon ^^

[ReaptheMusic]

@ Illogical Jim
I'm gon' git'cha

The fight will probably turn out like this anyways >.>'''

[Illogical Jim]

Hehehe. I might just have to give Sir Benny a reason to turn around at the border, so Wrathia can have a chance to try and kill him.

[AoStar]

I'm still here and will have a post up sometime soon, just trying to think about what I'm going to write to get my character into the action; it'll probably be a bit much, so I apologize in advance.

[Flynn]

If I'm correct, we should still get a post from LittleRedPanda, WileyCoyote and Rawhawk (sort of... he said he had to quit, but he also was talking about posting) I cannot post until at least Tuesday. (PC not back until then, I hope)
