Bedwyr,
Have you thought about a structure similar to a Japanese Council of Reagents, where acting out of step might lead to being cannibalized by your peers? It was much safer to be king of a small piece of the world, in other words.
*Quietly reads, finding it all interesting*
How's it going? Haven't dealt with Jenred in a while or been on IRC.
Bring it on, Bedwyr.
But seriously: if you tried to start something over a family feud like that, I would about have a heart attack from the excited flutterings in my heart. You will find few people more willing to start a senseless family feud over a long-dead issue than me. Hireshmont II is a pretty balanced and level-headed person, but that branch of the Vellos family is touchy about kinship ties.
Though, frankly, the death of Colin is more to be blamed on the Anaris family than the Vellos family. The Vellos family at that time was an advocate for peace, reconciliation, and mutual understanding, whereas the Anaris family is full of bloodthirsty savages without a conscience, sense of refinement, or culture.
That is my professional and unbiased opinion, of course.
Yeah, there were characters that were tortured, but there was no Tammo involved. I'm pretty sure the tortured ones were adventurers. So, even if IC that claim is strong, the whole getting Cathay involved and there being "signs of torture" wouldn't make sense.
One interesting aspect of this is that it will make it more likely that a duchy could declare independence from the realm as long as it remains within the empire. with a lowered strength and size for each realm, declaring independence could essentially amount to splitting a realm in two. Would the empire allow this action as long as the new realm declares allegiance to the empire?
Errr.... not sure what that referred to, Bedwyr. Why do you have first call on disgruntled Lurians?
And why will you be in Maroccidens? You're in Pian en Luries. Maroccidens is pretty far away, and full of monsters. And trees. An unfortunately large amount of trees.
Terran is continuing to try and establish an empire for itself, with quite limited success.
If there are any other Lurians out there disgruntled by Alanna's tyranny, Maroccidens would be happy to welcome you...
I think it's kind of nasty if you forge game-generated reports and then spread that as if it was the truth.
Having heard vague mention of this but not the specifics, I'm now curious about something: is this possible on a continental scale? In order to generate the king of dynamic you're looking for, you'd almost need to supplant realm identity with tribal identity, and that seems most plausible on the duchy level. How do you propose to manage people who start thinking of themselves as autonomous?
We all know about the personality of Arcaea as a realm, and one of the things that was interesting about Arcachnon was its unique style.
So do you think that this the realms under your rule will have the ability to develop unique characters? or will the central guild influence everyone to be a lot like Arcaea is now?
