Im at work  :(

Necromancy! Yeah I am just putting this here as it fits best here. So I have been working on a summary of Randemicos Pope, current king of Asylon, for something with the Dwilight Univeristy. What do you think on this?

Randemicos Pope

Randemicos is a man of the military being the general of 4 realms, including Asylon before he was made King. His father, Winther, was a priest for much of life but Randemicos rejected that life seeking power, regardless of the cost.

Randemicos started as knight of Muspelheim, back when it was a part of Springdale. When Muspelheim seceded to recreate Virovene, he joined as his loyalties lied with his lord, Cato de La Fere. Several years later during the dying days of Virovene, Randemicos helped lead a small army to Storms Keep with Glaumring, which he then founded Thulsoma with Glaumring. When Glaumring ceremoniously had the imprint of his feet carved into to the center stone of the courtyard of Storms Keep as to be made tradition of the Thulsoman Kings, Randemicos also had his feet imprinted due to his help in leading the army that took over Storm's Keep.

Upon the founding of Thulsoma, Randemicos was immediately made General of Thulsoma. After this the details run low on the history of him for a while but it is know that roughly a year after Thulsoma's founding he joined Summerdale for a month, for a day he was a part of Libero Empire, then he once more joined Thulsoma. Immediately after rejoining Thulsoma he was reinstated as General, but only two more months past until he joined Summerdale again. A month after joining Summerdale for the second time he was elected General, which he remained for 6 more months until he joined Caerwyn for a month, then joined Asylon. That was the last of his many switching of oaths. A year later he was appointed General of Asylon after helping King Glaumring rebel and take control of the government from Emperor Cleon Cullom.

There is little news on the next few years on him until recently, which is when King Glaumring stepped down, Randemicos became King and he stepped down as General consequently. Though seen partially through what I have already said it is my understanding that Glaumring and Randemicos have been very close friends all the way back to the times of when Randemicos was a part of Virovene.

During the dying days of Virovene a kingdom I had little loyalty to Virovene. Randemicos was the only to follow me to the Storms keep. At the time a near suicidal journey through massive hordes of monsters that held even Morek and Springdale back for decades. Through a quirk of luck the 130 troops and 2 nobles with literally 2 or 300 gold made it to Storms keep and founded Thulsoma. It was quite a trek and through it all Sir Randemicos did not complain nor ask for favour he merely lead the troops and fought back several times against almost kingdom breaking hordes of beasts. The times he switched loyalty were when our regions starving and overrun joined Summerdale or Libero. It wasnt until the final days we foolishly abandoned Thulsoma for Summerdale that we began our sojourn to Asylon. If I could go back I would have stayed and fought back Libero and conquered Summerdale. Back then in the last days of Thulsoma we had the largest army, the highest noble count and economy than any others. I believed we could join Summerdale and then retake Thulsoma, but the nobles of Summerdale were generally niave. Then Haruka came and her horde, the dream of uniting the kingdoms fell and we left for far Asylon.

So his region was switching, not him, due to the region starving thus losing loyalty to the realm you were in, and thus automatically joining the realms that high sympathies? Also, thank you for the details. Likely not today, but sometime in the next couple of days I should have a summary made on you from the wiki and then you can fill in any details if you want. Also it is IC, so I will have some bias though it might not be all my own bias. Hmmm, I got my info from the wiki, which is IC so technically I think I would have to put the info I get from you on the wiki for me to able to use it.

[Glaumring the Fox]

Yes thats what was happening. We were under near perpetual attacks for months. It befuddles me how we survived and thrived. Kind of like Asylon. The caliber of nobles!

So you and Randemicos left because you saw Thulsoma as being hopeless to win the war so you hoped that by joining Summerdale you could reconquer Thulsoma's past lands and recreate the realm?

You mean, like most colonies on Dwilight?

Pretty sure it was the same for Caerwyn. Certainly was the same for D'Hara, Barca, and Terran.

I thought D'hara, Barca, and Terran had the Zuma to clear a lot of the monsters for them? They were in a sort of sweet spot. Caerwyn definitely had it bad with the dark mountains and the central west dwilight plains feeding them some good hordes.

I gotta say Everguard probably had it the worst though. First realm on the west of dwilight, before the hordes were reduced, no foreign backing, surrounded on all sides by fantastic monster breeding grounds... those were hard times. Had the monsters not been so bad, we would've been able to hold off Astrum. Having allies would've helped too  :'(

@Glaumring,
Can you send the Igelfeld family a message IG for me, asking him to go on forum? He has an advy in Asylon.

Yes, like most colonies. Except Thulsoma was founded with no backing, maybe 300 gold and 130 infantrymen spread out between two nobles in a region literally seething with beasts. Plus, Morek ignored us, Libero wanted us dead believing we were a supported Virovene colony, Summerdale was made up of Ravians who didnt trust Virovenians and the only kingdom who spoke with us was Corsanctum. Thulsoma wasnt founded with planning , it was just created out of sheer willpower and daring that Dwilight had never seen before, making Randemicos and myself near gods.

Praise the flying Glaumring monster, and his noodley appendages of questionable morals!

[Glaumring the Fox]

And thus spake Glaumring and hark the kingdom of Thulsoma was his and his only. Hark! Spake Glaumring and from the freshly fallen snow was Randemicos formed as first man upon Dwilight and it was done and Glaumring found happiness and it was good and then didst Glaumring rest on the final day... And Chenier was cast into a flaming lake of gayness and it was done and all of Dwilight didst laugh...

The Zuma cleared some of the rogues, yes, and probably are the reason we managed to survive. That doesn't mean, however, that there weren't still a buttload of rogues spawning and that we were fighting tooth and nail for our survival for several RL months, if not over a year (plus D'Hara's constant food shortages for a few more years). The menace of the rogues was a key factor in the creation of the 'moot, as can be clearly seen in the Treaty of the Maroccidens.

Everguard probably had it worst, indeed.

But then again, they were !@#$%^&s to everyone, claimed the entire western continent for themselves, and bullied Caerwyn into relocating. No surprise they never had any allies to help them.

No they did not. The Zuma defended their own territory, so that relatively little monster spawn wandered over from Zuma lands to ours. But they did not clear out monsters in our territory or in the rogue lands near us.

[Glaumring the Fox]

Yeah ok whatever, D'Hara and Terran still had it so much easier than the red-headed bastard stepchild that was Thulsoma.
