The king is dead, long live the king! [Reboot] [5/7]

Oh and grey or green are fine for me.

Star Wars: A New Beginning

I'll admit, I've not seen Star Wars 7 so... gonna be winging it.

@Asura

Basically if you've seen 6 you are set. The only thing is that in the meanwhile there is a New Republic set up. The Empire is on the low and is now called the First Order and the Rebel Alliance is now called the Resistance and work semi-seperate from the New Republic.

Driftmark looks fine position-wise, maybe some more rivers trough it, I presume the big border river is the Tarugal than Tarugerdam could be somewhere on the river in the north of Driftmark (probably where that smaller river splits off. I imagined it smaller but I am fine with this ^^.

@frapet Grenn is favorable in 'real' combat so a duel, or something that isn't dagger-and-cloak. Neither is Bastien, my character, who is also better in a duel than in a intrigue/dagger-and-cloak style fight. They both have the same fighting style.

So if stuff happens, we can duel.

@Buddha

ah in that sense, I was thinking along the line of: teaching the king how to fight and stuff ^^

The king is dead, long live the king! [Reboot] [5/7]

@frapet Grenn is the same fighter as Bastien, so actually, it might be less useless than it seems.

@Buddha

I don't get it :s

Star Wars: A New Beginning

You still looking for folks?

@Asura

sure we are getting to a point where I can add new characters again, a Pilot would come in extremely handy, but just pitch something and we'll see. To keep things exiting for the others you can even pm me with the concept and we'll discuss your entry.

(maybe a little less moving elements in your avatar and stuff, this is freaking me out :p)

@frapetYou have something good going on there. I wonder though the reason for sending Grenn as the advisor. I mean, he doesn't seem like the best guy to send if the survival of your province is dependent on the impression one man has on an 11-year-old King xD

Although since he's a mercenary, I can't really say bad things about him as I might need his services ;P

@Vec

So, apart from being the brother of the Markholder, he is mainly there for politics other than impressing the 11-year-old King. but your point is surely granted. ill work on that.

@Buddha Though he can fight we are in a situation where that actually might account for little. Especially the kind of fighter Grenn is. :p

The king is dead, long live the king! [Reboot] [5/7]

So still a WIP but a start to critisize, I think I am sort of set on the form, maybe put it into better writing ^^.

Grenn Albraght

Grenn Albraght

Name: Grenn Albraght
Age: 37
Appearance: A broad (fat) and tall man usually wearing padded leathers and other clothes of utility rather than wealth, adorned with bear or wolf pelts at the collar. When on business he likes to wear an iron gauntlet covered in oiled wrappings, to enforce his image as a warlike brute.

Clothing

Known for: Brother of Markholder Cheorge Albraght. Leading the mercenary band the ‘Iron Sovereigns’, being ruthless and efficient in that regard. Generally considered a brute and not fit as an ambassador. What certainly doesnt help is his fondness for the 'velvet glove' an iron gauntlet he wears into battle on his left hand.
Dirty little secret: Occasionally brawls in some of the shadier fighting pits of the capital every now and then. Has given the order to torch several villages in the Driftmark.
Skills: Tactical commander of small company. Due to that function he knows how to set a trap and how to expect one. Ruthless pragmatist. Good fighter/brawler, subterfuge, appearing stupid.
Motto: ‘ Shake with your right hand, keep iron in your left.’

Driftmark

Name of the Province: Driftmark
Name of your liege: Cheorge Albraght

Cheorge Albraght

Position: In the west, south of Belintash, north of Dieuporteille.

Specialty: Driftmark is a region that was once the natural western border for the Emperiat, its marshes proved an obstacle for most armies of any size, and the same went for the river Tarugal that flows north to south in the Empire. The region is known as a staging and, more often, dying ground for several rebellions. Most of all it is bordered by vital roads and the Tarugal river that connect the Emperiats border regions and are used for trading of precious metals from Belintash throughout the Emperiat. Apart from that mercenaries from the Driftmark are (in)famous for their skill in battle and dubious loyalties.

History: Driftmarshes, as the Mark was called 3 generations ago, is a marshland where the Tarugal flows. Once this region bordered the original expansion of the Empiriat due to the dense woods and inhospitable terrain. It knew very few inhabitants at the time, as only small villages of determined (some say grim) farmers dotted the edges of the Driftmarshes. These farmers were constantly harassed by bandits and bands of brigands who preyed on merchants on the roads or traders that sailed the Tarugal. Many picked up and left for safer regions like Andaluja or Belintash when the region came the refuge for rebellious or insurgent armies. Central in the numerous insurgencies and rebellions was the town of Tarugerdam. A trading port on the banks of the Tarugal river, near the shortest road between Belintash and Dieuporteille. Several times was it sided with the enemies of the Emperiat, was it sacked or was it taken, but for 2 generations it is now in the hands of the Albraght family that declared for the Emperiat in time of turmoil. In return for their aid in crushing the Baradal rebellion they were granted the regions around Tarugerdam and where declared the ‘Markholders of Driftmark’ Under the Albraghts the roads are made safe(r) by tireless patrols of mercenary bands (some say the very same brigands that might’ve raided the same roads in the past) and city militias. The other cities of the Driftmarshes have been coming in the grips of the Albraght family by marriage, embargos and blatant threats of so called ‘non-protection’. The Mark is still plagued by remnants of rebellious armies, separationist towns and the ‘unnatural wildlife’ (this is still under construction, but we might insert Elves or Dryads or the like that are under threat of genocide, or just say that there are monsters in the marshes that are part rumour, part reality) but Cheorge Albraght is determined to change the Driftmark. This is both literal and figuratively as currently large sums are being invested in making parts of the marshes habitable, and providing better infrastructure (to exact toll upon).

@Flynn Since the big boat province is already taken I think I am going for a 'marshland' province with infrastructural potential ^^

@frapet Sorry mate. It's getting a bit too full for comfort now. Might someone drop out or something, I'll be sure to message you though!
