[OOC] A Gilded Throne - A Shadow Looms (Closed)

Paper Angel, I is going to blockades you, no food for you!

Though serious question though to the GM and CO-GM if we have one, what means of redress would I have as a noble if a member of my family, or members, were taken by the Inquisition. Would I contact anyone in the Capital, or am I high and dry, without a paddle to row on the sandy river bottom.

Second, if I have means of legal redress through the capital, would I be allowed to conduct an embargo/blockade upon The Vialiphate of Meletis upon the grounds of "unpaid dues/payments" for services rendered, and illegal conduct etc etc?

And, to the GM, how much food would my region provide for the realm as a whole? Percentage wise?

@Abefroeman

I'm glad you asked. As far as legal appeals can go, the Church is separate from the state, and even there they distance themselves from the Inquisition for obvious reasons. Still you can make an appeal to the Church of the Sacred Flame directly. Normally they give people the runaround but given the state of affairs and the ranks of those taken. There is a good chance the case could be taken to the Elder Council for them to judge whether or not the accused are heretics/guilty.

As for the Imperial government itself, short of an actual declaration of war or outright killing a house member with no cause, they have no real authority to interfere with Inquisition affairs. They are doing their job after all.

Now as for an embargo on the island itself, I would point out the huge repercussions that would initial. Attempting to get a trial conducted by the Elder Council would be the safest recourse but also admittedly the most time consuming to achieve. The better your standing with the church easier that course of action would be.

Edit: Food wise? That's hard to say really as I have no real base to measure your food production. I don't imagine though that it makes up a huge level of the food produced, between the Heartlands and the Expense.

@Abefroeman

Abe. We need to talk and figure out how we are going to do this. I am planning to release your lord's mother. And we kinda need to collab that. -_^ We don't need for this to get too messy.

Data moderator here, but I definitely think in addition to an appeal to the church in Lalrial you could also try to contact your prime magistrate to try to bring up the matter to the prime estates. It’d call for a hearing and without an emperor they have limited yet absolute control of the law until an emperor is elected.

With no emperor you really have no pecking order to rein in the legality of your blockade idea though. It will impact shit, but imperial chaos indeed.

Not a lot, but if I had to guess a lot of the food comes from the southwest and southeast. If I had to put a shit guess? Less than 25%.

We don't need for this to get too messy.

Lol, I don't think you realize that when the inquisition tortured and kidnapped high nobles, this already became messy. Has been since you rendered flesh.

Agrocultural production in this era would be relatively linearly related to rural population. Each rural peasant would produce a tiny amount more food than he needs to sustain himself.

A place like Violette would be roughly in equilibrium. Anywhere less urbanized would produce an excess for export, anywhere more urbanized would need to import a portion of their food, and places like Starborn City or the Vialiphate would be completely dependent on food imports for nearly all of their agricultural needs.

@The Nexerus

Or like my territory which lacks the means to sustain a population of more that 50.000 people with it's current farms...

[Paper Angel]

@Gowi That was not my idea. I'm trying to work it out so that we avoid a super huge issue. '^^ It is a lil messy already but it twould only get worse and we can keep it from being too bad. Sooz I am gonna need to talk to Abe again. -_^

[Taeryn]

Devil's advocate but solving things easily and simply is totally boring ;).

[Gowi]

Not to mention nobody has plot armor here.

[GreivousKhan]

I should indeed point out character deaths in this is totally are a thing. Inspiration from GOT and all that.

[Taeryn]

Doesn't mean I'm planning on having people die just for the sake of it though, I'm not Zell, after all.

Actions in the game have consequences, indeed.

I am going to change it. It was an honest mistake and I will edit my post. Just, give me a little I need to rewrite it. '^^

[The Nexerus]

If you're changing it, it's fine.

[Paper Angel]

If you're changing it, it's fine.

@The Nexerus

Whelp, tis changed. >.< Now I really and truly just wanna rp so lets all have fun. ^^

Because that is the 110% most important rule right everyone? ^-^

HAVE FUN! (Note this rule will be enforced with crossbow bolts.)

@GreivousKhan

@The Nexerus

Shieldbearer has Wyvern Knights and that was okay'd...

[Claw2k11]

@Gowi

Only the members of the royal and noble families(bastards as well) of Khomeria are considered to be the ones able or allowed to ride a mountain wyvern. There is only a small fort of these people up on the highest peaks of the mountain on which you can get only via flying there...
