Hello everyone.
I'm looking to possibly make a new character either on East Island or the Far East. I once played a character in both Ohnar West and Arcaea in the past.
So, I'd like to hear reasons why I should make a character on the Far East and what realm I should join. Any realm interested in having a Silverfire come aboard? (Feel free to pitch your own realms and let the in game biases show through)

Definately join Ohnar West. We're the underdog in the region, not afraid to stand up for ourselves against bullies like Arcaea and Sorraine or Coralynth. Last war, we humiliated the superior forces of Sorraine, getting as many regions as them. If there is a war, its almost guaranteed we'll be in it... Plus we have a cool religion, and are fighting to survive every minute. We need knights, and we are liberal in sharing our gold.
A summary of our last war-
Sorraine surrenders to Ohnar West
In a dramatic, yet not unexpected move, Queen Arianne of Sorraine was forced to eat humble pie, surrendering all Sartanian claims to Ohnarian territory, including ceding their claims to Hosiel, Upasael, and Abilotiel to Ohnar.
The war, started by Queen Mathilda of Sorraine to wipe Ohnar off the map, and destroy the Way of the Dragon, wasn't expected to last very long, owing to the vast gold and military reserves of the three duchy Sorraine. However, the nobles of Ohnar doggedly opposed the invasion forces, mobilising their poor city and three rural regions, crushing the invading zealots in all but one military encounter.
Within less than a month and a half after the declaration of war, Ohnar forced Sorraine to the negotiating table, having taken Abilotiel, Upasael and Hosiel, and laid waste to Arempos and Anaos, deep behind Sorrainian lines. With their regions starving and in disrepair, their armies defeated, and will broken, the Sartanians finally accepted peace. Queen Mathilda was learnt to have fled in shame following news of the Sorrainian collapse, as had the Crown Prince and general, Henzo.
Ohnar West, though it had been threatened with destruction, death and torture by Sorraine, took the high road, offering generous terms of peace to Sorraine, to maintain a balance of power between the two realms at two cities each. Prideful Sorraine, to forestall this however, sold their sovereignty to Velax, joining the Arcaean Empire, trying to pull Arcaea into the conflict. Finally, Sorraine agreed to cede Ossaet and Semon should they commit further aggression against Ohnar, and end their religious persecution against the Way of the Dragon, bringing an end to the War of Sartanian Dominion over Sasrhas.
Peace has settled once more upon the Far East, but the question of how long the Sartanians will accept being under the command and heel of a "heathen" as members of the Arcaean Empire looms large ahead.
We should have more conflict going very soon.

Yay for propaganda...

Bah! I don't care what realm you join but a silverfire would be welcome in the Order of the Epders. We need more politicking.
-
Join the Principality of Zonasa. It's an absolute snorefest, and needs something to liven it up.
-
If you want to get to the top quickly then try Sorraine. There was one knight who joined the realm and less than a month later he was made the official heir to the throne and the General.

What, even assassination attempts on the Regent didn't liven things up?

Please don't remind me of that... I'm actually a little ashamed of the situation that followed.
-
Ohnar West, if you like the possibility of destruction in the event of a political hiccup.
Kindara is a safe bet, if not a little slow. We try to keep new knights around. Zonasa is probably the same way.
Arcaea is the safest bet, but the downside is you'll never have the chance to fight Arcaea.
I don't really know anything about Greater Aneilia, Sorraine, or Coralynth.

Is there a reason I want to fight Arcaea?
What is the Order of the Elders?
-
Order of Elders is one of the largest religions on FEI. It doesn't control any realms outright, but it is very widespread, and has quite a few noble members who are powerful in their own right.
While there are a few large religions on FEI, they mostly shy away from taking any direct involvement in politics. Realms usually go in big for the "separation of church and state" schtick. Except for the Sartanians, of course. And they often seem like a Three Stooges kind of act.

They're the biggest, so more prestige from beating them.
It's the dominant religion in the south.
-
What is Cathay, chopped liver?
Quick advancement in that we're pretty big but with fewer nobles than Kindara or Arcaea but not so few that nothing happens, rewards based on participation rather than seniority, a small core of reliable RPers (not as big as the old days, unfortunately) and of course, Ser Ulwitt Dodd.
Cathay will also have a central role in the next Big Thing as both sides are likely to solicit their support.
-

I didn't hear any of this... who is the hero that tried to assassinate Morgan? :D
-
Cathay kicks ass and is easily the best realm in the game. Largely because I'm in it.

It is actually mostly schtick that Velax and I are plotting to try and get some excitement into the FEI. Our RLs seem to be slowing things down a bit, but luckily Cathay is having a tournament in the meantime anyways.
-
So stop posting here and go reply to the rulers! :D

Seriously. Please.
We need something. The FEI needs to liven some things up - its a bore. I've been back for a month and I've seen only a handful of messages in my Realms. Least the Order has some more activity with RP's and messages.
-
I'll go ahead and echo Alpha's recommendations if you havent already picked a home.
We'd love to have some active newblood in Kindara, and we try our best to make it worthwhile for newer characters so that they stick around and participate. I try to keep discussions going when I can too.
I'm sure you couldnt do wrong with Cathay, Zonasa, or Arcaea though (though it does depend on if you want to put yourself in or out of the Empire). I myself have wanted to put characters in Cathay or Arcaea.
-
I have no real preference to be either in or outside the empire.
I'm just looking for a place with some active internal communications, and possibly a few roleplayers. I don't want to have to be a livening force in a realm but instead join a realm which is already somewhat lively. I like RP'ing and I enjoy good interactions amongst the hierarchy and abroad.

I'm planning on returning to Arcaea in a week. That should liven things up.

Ohnar has a good bit of communications, especially in the councils, where nobles can apply to join. RPwise, it stays in the religion mostly, you won't get daily doses of nauseating RPs. As for liveliness, we got told our armies were more cohesive than Aurvandil 8) at the height of the war, around 30-40 messages a day. Plus, we get blow by blow updates of what's going on around the world in peacetime, plus an army for special operations around the north.

I enjoy a good RP and there are those in Kindara who I would say probably do too, but you don't see a heck of a lot of them. So, Kindara might not be exactly for you on that front.
-
The Galiard/Edmund royal visit to Masahakon RPs between Kindara and Cathay was one of the best RP events I've seen in the game. It was just a shame that more people didn't take part (or have the time to take part, as the case may be).

Created a charry in Ohnar West. Was my choice correct?

Perfect ;)

Good luck joining the only realm on FEI that doesn't participate in the current war. ???

I hope no one else grabs my precious estate, seriously OW needs more regions. Maybe we will grab some during the war.
