The World of Aerion

@tobiaxThat's all right! I'll just wait for one or two more merc posts before posting myself.

The World of Aerion

What’s the mercs and knights status? I didn’t want to post anything until everyone else got a chance

The World of Aerion [Fantasy + Medieval + Sides]

Looking for a few knights to join our ranks!

Fire Emblem: The Eternal Struggle

Prince Erik Reighn - Dawn, Miricia

Erik nodded in agreement with Gereazy. Even if the path would take longer, it was the safer and more secure route. Plus, he could pay a visit home and secure any necessary supplies for the road. However he wanted to hear from the rest before he confirmed.

Gregory nearly jumped out of his armor as the young boy peered from behind his large frame. “Bah! W-where did you come from, young fella?” Gregory questioned as he was still coming down from the shock.

The World of Aerion

@Leo Khan Yeah, absolutely! I was actually considering offering that to anyone who would want to have a character on both sides if no one else joins. I would limit the characters to one per side, however.

Fire Emblem: The Eternal Struggle

@Tenma Tendo That's fine! Thanks for your interest, we're looking forward to your character! Depending on their history he can just tag along with our group before they leave the city. Let me know if you have any questions about anything!

The World of Aerion

In case it wasn't obvious from my post, @Archangel89 has been removed from the RP due to inactivity in over a month. Like I said, I generally am cool with life coming first, as long as you give me some heads up you can't post for a while for whatever reason. I generally have a policy that players who leave can return if they PM me about it, and we figure something out. Unless he posts in the next few days, @Inuyasha will also get booted, meaning that we probably need to get a few new knights soon, since both were knights. I like to keep my RPs constantly open, so recruiting a few new players shouldn't be a problem!

Also as a heads up, men don't usually travel much to Miracia, beyond Falkans. A lot of the landscape and people may be foreign to the knights. So @Sedjwick's character would probably know most about this place, depending on how much the others have traveled around. I expect Catskull may have been around places, given the type of individual he is, while I'm guessing Kace would have stayed mostly north in Mindirion and Miraheim.

@Cojemo Sounds good, feel free to message me if you need any help with your character!

Fire Emblem: The Eternal Struggle

Prince Erik Reighn - Dawn, Miricia

Prince Erik nodded as most of the group seemed to agree that clearing King Temerus's name was the best course of action. He didn't usually take the diplomatic route in his travels, but here he was, breaking his routines. Erik wasn't sorry. If this would help him find out about his friend, he'd do whatever it took.

"If that's the case, there are two paths to Derak," Gregory explained as he laid out a map of Karula in front of them.

On the map, it showed the smaller nation of Miricia right in the center. Maul was to its west at approximately twice its size; Albia to its east, at roughly the same size, Monos to its north was approximately the same size as Maul, and Gannon, the largest nation, was to the south and southeast of Miricia. Derak was located on isles to the south of Gannon. Kuro, meanwhile, was a small nation half the size of Miricia to the southwest of Monos.

"We can either head east to Albia. From there, we could travel through my lands relatively undeterred until we reach the shores. Then we can take a ship from the east all the way to Derak. Travel through my country will probably be easier, but the waters along the way to Derak would be filled with pirates, mostly from Gannon. That could slow us down," Gregory explained as he pointed downward on the map toward Gannon. "The other choice is to travel south of here, through the western parts of Gannon. Normally, Gannon isn't too keen on foreign nationals travelling along its borders. But it's mostly concentrated along its shorelines, so we can probably slip by without too much resistance. Then again, because of the lack of much official Gannon presence, there's a lot of bandits that roam the areas. And any Gannon soldiers are a lot more corrupt than others. Once we hit the water, however, the ports of south Gannon are a lot closer to Derak, making it a smooth ride from there," Gregory looked up at the others and awaited their thoughts. "Those are the two best options we have."

Erik scanned the map and immediately thought of suggesting the Albian path. It seemed more steady. It would take a bit longer, but they could regroup and even gather more allies in Albia, as well as supplies from the capital. The only issue being that this path would likely take longer, especially once they reached the shores. "So it's a choice between the harder path and the longer one. Thoughts?" Prince Erik asked the others.

Sir Roland Grey - Fornond, Miracia

The port city of Fornond, Miracia, was much like it was described. Being known for its vast forests, even at the coast, the green of the Miracian trees were planted across the port town's spread out marble buildings. It was beyond beautiful, but it was also strategic. Archers were among the favorite tools of the elves; standard bowmen, longbows, and ballistas hid among the trees to prevent intruders along their shores. It was ironic to Roland. The elves were always peaceful. They detested violence. Yet each tribe in Miracia had much of its own identity. While the peaceful nature of the elves held true with the tribes in the deeper regions of the country, the coastal tribes were known to be influenced by the human wars and of their limited trade with Falke; they were ready for battle.

"Twelve days..." Roland began to utter as he adjusted his bright, steel armor in preparation for their docking in Miracia. “Twelve days on this Gods-forsaken piece of rubbish you southerners pass as a ship. Tella be praised with her gift of the earth, for I have long grown tired of these waters.” He hissed, glorifying the sight of land, not particular on the location. He didn't particular know much about the elves, as he hardly visited there. He had hoped their elven knight would help broker any information they would need, but the elf had left their ship the moment it hit Miracian waters. Roland never asked why he left, and quite frankly, he didn't much care. He turned his head. "Why could we not hug closer to the shore for calmer water?" The knight questioned Captain Crewe with a hint of annoyance.

"That would attract to much unwanted eyes," Captain Crewe stated matter of factly. Roland scoff as the black ship slowly pulled into a small port with a few merchant ships at a fairly kept dock. Roland saw a healthy combination of Falkan traders and eleven locals. Captain Crewe barked orders at his sailors, prepping the ship for landing and the crew for a swift yet bearable arrival. Soon enough, Captain Crewe howled until the ship anchored at the port and was tied down to the poles that were dotted across the port. As the Knights descended down to the wooden port, a rather large group of elven warriors had greeted them. They were covered in bright green light armor, covering their vital areas while hugging their skin for mobility. Roland scoffed at the elven designs. They were hardly going to prevent a single strike of his longsword on the that thin armor. It may as well have been paper. Despite their thinner armor, however, there were quite a lot of them.

Among the elven soldiers was an elf out of armor. With long black hair and youthful features, he hid his age well enough for Roland to be unable to make an educated guess. He wore a dark red silk robe with an elaborate design of golden trees embroidered on the robe. Floral designs were stitched on the edges of the robe, and a few fine golden jeweled rings styled his fingers, completing an image of wealth, importance and regality.

"Welcome, Knights of Ekilore, to Fornond," he said as he greeted the arriving knights with a low bow.

“I assume you are the ‘friend’ the monks spoke of,” Roland said to the man, who raised himself from his bow to meet the gaze of the knight from Ethora.

"Indeed, Sir Knight," The elf answered, with a warm smile. "I am Estallir, advisor to druid Vanya of the shores. I am here to provide you council, and direction on your noble quest. Please, if you would accompany me to my estate. It is not far."
