Two Billion Lives on the Brink

Thats fine yes, but I still want people to communicate in the IC. Even hidden alliances came from very open talks at first.

Just those two. I will provide crises and major events. The point of this is to create story and I cant do it all. You want more events, create them then. Also I dont want random alliances etc announced in IC. Let me see you people talking to each other.

THE IC IS OPEN!

Duck if you don't have an imperial palace then I can change it to the home of your Kaiser...whatever you call that. I made an assumption there.

Two Billion Lives on the Brink

31st December, 1899

With the turn of century upon us it seems the world is not looking to have a brighter future, both metaphorically and literally. Recent technological advances have meant that peoples methods for killing each other have become ever more efficient and alongside this, smoke and soot block out the sun in many of the city hubs that have sprung up. And whilst the world still holds a white peace not everyone within it is happy with the situation. Crises spring up like wild fire and it seems countries are determined in some way or another to pull everyone into a conflict. Of course it doesn't help that most monarchs and rulers want more for their country than they already have. Will superpower blocs emerge or will there be a free for all in the war.

The Kingdom of Andramedie
The men in the circle were not celebrating new year. Most were filthy, covered in the soot and mud that was the constant companion of those without money or means. These people though were not complaining about their place in the world. No they were hapy with their lot in life. Instead they were Reactionary protesters. As a power away from Edoniras the Kingdom had had to import most of it's technology, however this was to the disdain of the masses. Forced to accept this new life a small group of craftsmen from factories are protesting and striking over a desire to return to the old ways. Traditional craft is disappearing in the Kingdom and people are feeling more and more disconnected from their country. If matters are not fixed soon then this could descend into something more violent, with the right backing.

The Empire of Lancia
In Primus stands the Imperial Palace, the home of the Lancian Kaiser, the head of state and the seat of Lancian power. Security is tight in Lancias most precious building and it would take a plan of extreme cunning, or madness, to crack it. This plan was neither, and so it was not a surprise for the guards to have the man, dressed in a dirty and ripped uniform that was unrecognisable, in shackles before he was able to cause any harm. In fact for the guards the capture was too easy, a man trying to scale a wall with a puny blade didn't even seem like a serious attempt on anyones life. However this was not the attempt. In another wing of the palace a large supply of gunpowder, hidden in a secret passage, was ignited. The powder blast did very little damage to the palace itself however it caused quite the large ball of fire and killed and maimed a number of servants. Though not a single individual of importance was harmed. The most recent images in newspapers will show a wing of the Imperial Palace ablaze as firefighters quickly put down the flames. The man arrested is currently in Lancian hands and with so little damage done to the Palaca a formal investigation is to be carried out, if the Kaiser so wishes.

Send them to me. As NPCs I am not going to be formal and posh with it. I will hash out details and let you formally announce. I have too much to do.

Okay this has become so popular that I may drop out. Simply too many people for me to keep up etc. good luck all.

Basic notes now up. In a little while a first post will be up and you can all slaughter each other. Remember to be realistic people, so no just going to war for the sake of it. Jingoism is a dying breed.

Two Billion Lives on the Brink

Right map is up, home territories should be close, colonies may not be so close. Please no bitching, I am very tired and need to get a sentance up on each NPC nation for your benefit before I get the first post up.
