The Empires of Terra

Mol put on the slippers and gestured for Wu to start the tour.

Mol thought for a moment before saying 'I wouldn't mind a walk around the palace, it would give me a chance to stretch my legs and explore a bit further, would you like to join me?'.

Mol let himself be dressed and wondered what the chopsticks would be. When Wu pulled out a pair of, well rounded stick he was surprised. 'Wait so you grab with these' he asked as she showed him. After about a quarter of an hour he had seemed to get the hang of it, but he still didn't like the idea and would be discarding them at the first chance he got. After the lessons were finished he felt like he should show her how he usually ate, so he reached inside the folds of his previous clothing, until he found a pocket, from which he procured an object. It was a deep spoon with what looked like fork tips coming out of the front of it. 'I got tired of using my hands to eat so I fashioned this myself one day, without the orks knowing. They give us access to the forges, to produce items for them of course, but I stole some scrap metal and crafted this. I haven't given it a name but couple it with a dagger and you can eat any meal with no trouble' Mol smiled, proud of his creation, and then placed it on top of his clothes. 'Make sure I can collect that later' he said.

'Chopsticks? Like a sharp stick that you slice with? In that case no, I've found a dagger to be more useful than a sharp stick, is that some sort of tradition?' Mol asked, mystified. 'These Xianese certainly are weird' He thought to himself, although he suspected they would be more civilized than using sticks to eat.

'Hmm, there is one question I have' Mol began 'I assume there are customs for eating as well, I mean I wouldn't expect you to want me to be shoveling food into my mouth like I do back in Dargudig'. Mol gestured that he was about to get changed and waited for her answer.

I'm just going to add some cities and things, you can add them to the map if you want but you don't have too.
Garkunig (strong-fire): The volcano in the north of the country, has been active for 2 years, although it mostly just smokes a bit and if you go up to the top you can see the magma bubbling up in the crater.

Nildug: Located on the central mountains, near Gargunig. It is the capital city and has a population of 120,000 approx. The High Darok resides there.

Dargudig: Located on the north-eastern peninsula. It has an approximate population of 80,000. It is where Drikdarok resides.

Sazunlo: Located in the south-western corner of Ocrad. It has an approximate population of 75,000. It is where Gukdarok resides. Has a history of unsuccessful annex attempts on Arbiteros.

Goguhut: Located in the northern most mountains of Ocard. It has an approximate population of 90,000. It is where Tuddarok resides.

New terrain map I created for Ocrad.

'Mol' Mol said, before adding 'this is a strange sight compared to the underground fortress that I'm used too, very, artistic; the orks and trolls don't think much of art as you could guess'. He continued walking beside her and observing the architecture, it's vulnerabilities, strengths and overall its beauty. He was looking forward to the change in clothes, but was thinking of asking for his back, washed, if he didn't like the robes. Although the people of Ocrad were mostly cruel to their slaves, they gave them practical clothes that hugged the skin and were similar to that that the ork and troll soldiers wore under their armor. The long flowing robes might prove difficult, or annoying to Mol and if that were the case he'd much prefer his normal clothes. Shoes would be a welcome addition however, and he wondered if he would be given any.

The Empires of Terra

Wait who's former ork rulers?

The Empires of Terra

Yeah, that sounds alright, although if I did that and we were going to go with the war idea I'd probably do two paragraphs per post, one at Nanking and one in Ocrad.

P.S got to go, might be back in and hour or two.
