What's this supposed to mean?

@Claw2k11

It's a grocery list.

A Gilded Throne - A Shadow Looms (Closed)

a thought

Goldeagle: >​.>​
Goldeagle: Ethan
Goldeagle: if you ask me
Goldeagle: if Ethica was a centralized Empire
Goldeagle: they would focus most military resources in the nkrthern border
Goldeagle: so the south would keep it going with resources and fresh heads
Goldeagle: while politicans attempt to set up puppet tribe kings in the north tribes because fuck colonizing a waste land. that or Hadrians wall.
Goldeagle: the legions didnt reside in Rome but the trouble border, and the taxes followed them so to speak
ethanjory: I thought it was a fairly decentralized feudalistic empire. Therefore, the Roman Empire isn't wholly a good comparison.
Goldeagle: I know.
ethanjory: Of course, I'm happy to make changes to fit better into the narrative.
Goldeagle: Im critiqueing the mind set of the individual lords
Goldeagle: because even the HRE supported the marque
Goldeagle: Just know that those who wish further centralization support the nrth by this mindset
Goldeagle: and decentralization supports the south
Goldeagle: because they get to keep their crap and decadence because no war tariff
ethanjory: Funny that the true loyalist states may end up being the North.
Goldeagle: Right?
Goldeagle: Greedy lords make terrible allies
Goldeagle: instead of uniting forces to make a better resistance, they are content woth putting their tiny divided forces by their own grain and coin, hoping nobody will notice
Goldeagle: invaders notice
Goldeagle: stay strong North!

Fool the Conrads can't be killed. I would never support you.

Oh darn, I was hoping to get a head start on my machinations and plots.

@ethanjory

Good point. Well if you want to plot with me, feel free to PM me. (Royal Family) currently in the making so open for flexibility. Anyways, I'll be back later.

Could might be helpful with some of the coordination of history and what not. Perfectly fine by me if you guys choose not to do it, of course.

Oh, and only cool guys like me get to quote themselves.

@ethanjory

Last I heard, there will be a chat after the OOC lives for a little to garner activity and interest.

@LordZell I killed Conrad once, I can do it again ... >.> unless you support my Royal Contender.

EDIT: On another note, I will be roleplaying as the Royal family (For those who played Brimstone, it isn't gonna be like the Heinrichs) So if anyone wants preestablished special relations, let me know. I will be working on a family tree for potential marriages, as well as an NS once the OOC ups.

Interested.

I'll probably do a confederation of trader states under a central ruler.

Or I might go for one of those island that are left.

@Iluvatar

Go mainland! Mainland is where the party is! Woo!

They are the unique knight order of sheets of rock that float on the Earth's molten underlayers.

<Snipped quote by @Legion02>

Well, that works for me. In that case, it will be listed as one of the places there resides a royal mint when I get around to currency.

@ethanjory@gorgenmast@Lord Zee Also you chaps probably already know this, but bordering the (Yet unnamed) Forest will result in having to deal with the raiding tribes who will generally do all they can to make your life a living hell. At the very least you will never get bored.

On the bright side, however, border nations get the option of having imperial garrisons stationed in their province. Now how big these garrisons are will largely depend on your houses standing with coming Emperor. Just throwing that out there for plot fodder.

@GreivousKhan

Two potential political moves: A contender commissions the mints to start printing their face prematurely as the winner, or a contender offers juicy garrisons to northern provinces in return for support and votes. Politics.
