If Isadril falls, do you think Xavax could possibly bounce back? If so, what do they gotta do (other than lawyer up, hit the gym, delete FB). They look awfully beat up at the moment.
-
Do their best to sign separate peace treaties.
Most likely that won't work and the only way out is a rebellion against Selenia, then negotiate a surrender.
Because quite a few of the waring nations want to destroy Xavax completely.
I think it would be a shame.
They can also hold on, work more closely with their allies and hope for a stalemate.
But if nothing is going to change right now, this has not much of a chance.
Xavax might be able to keep holding on with just Xavax for a while though.
-
There is no way for Greater Xavax the realm to bounce back unless the north suddenly and immediately shows an ability to strategize and work together effectively with Xavax and each other.
There are ways for THE Xavax to bounce back and remain relevant, ie its group of nobles.
Making peace at this point would mean they would be stuck in Xavax RPing about Phoenixes and stuff and I think everyone would rather they go on fighting. Well I'd like to think so anyway.

Purrcious think Xavax should move to Akesh Temple. Pretty good spot for a great house for the Paragon!
-
I like how Purrcious never really breaks character, not even on the forums. :D
like that a lot
-
Nah, Xavax is done for. It was always a war of destruction, that's why we fought so hard. What can you do *shrugs*
-
Man you guys better rise from the ashes elsewhere to descend upon us like a plague of locusts or Im really going to be disappointed.
-
Why? What's my IC motivation? We're both playing this game, I didn't sign up to play the villain in your story. Godric has a lot of self discovery to do. And the fact again he has joined a realm doomed to fall does little to help his need to surpass his father. He will be in pursuit of that goal.

Tell that to the North, I think Xavax will need all help it can get at this time.

They did not call themselves as Phoenix for nothing, right? Rise from ashes like a true Phoenix bird ::)

Unless Greater Xavax gets rid of Selenia then I doubt the hunt for her will stop. She will bring the destruction to the realm and they will move to one of the northern realms to plot their revenge.

Of course you can do whatever you want with your character. Thats not a command, that is me expressing that it would be a disappointment to me if Xavax did not rise again or at least try. You have a group of characters that have been bound by a common cause and a charismatic leader. They are the villains in my story as I and my allies are the villains in theirs. I hear they write good stories in Xavax.
I strongly believe if the Xavax stay together, or at least some portion of them depending on your own individual tastes but can I please stop having to constantly tread on eggshells, that they will continue to be able to affect the continent and have fun doing so.
There will come a point where there is traction, and there will come a time where there is pushback. You will not always be getting beat. Any realm or realms you join up with in this quest will be greatly strengthened. You will have great big armies with lots of gold.
Torxanib Godric Torrarin ka Habb can gain his glory wherever he wishes but the most glorious path might be that of the Phoenix.
-
And I'll add a vote of confidence for Selenia as leader, its not like it's looked good for Xavax any time recently and the realm still held together and fought well given the opposition.
-
Well, they bounced back. At least Isadril peasants did!
-
*jumps off the walls of Isadril* :'(
-
Guess they saved up some good luck after the mess with Leibo revolting.

What happened to Dodger? Kellan just stepped down from being King?

Ah, that sucks. thank for the link.

We're fine.

Pshaw, and full of yourselves to boot! Girl you ain't got no alibi, you ugly. U G L Y.
Actually though much love for Perdan, just saw the opportunity and couldn't pass it up.

It could bounce back from undeath in a variety of ways. The most obvious scenario requiring some benevolent benefactor giving us a patch of dirt from which to begin anew. Once we have a
jar patch of dirt to call our own, Xavax young and old will flock to its banner.
Remember the "rules" we made during the First Council of Xavax, back when the realm's identity was under rapid-fire development. (before the 2nd wave that included Dodger and the rest)
</paraphrase> "All those who came to Xavax bear the blood of Xavax. Thus, their dynasties are Xavax. Their offspring are Xavax. Upon marrying Xavax, one's spouse becomes Xavax. Children of their union are born Xavax. Distant relatives bear a spark of Xavax, and with proper oath, become fully Xavax. Those deified in grand acts for the glory of Xavax become paragons of Xavax. Etc etc."
...I/we sort of-kind of-maybe-totally designed Xavax to be a viral memetic construct that infects everything it touches.
Xavax = heroin/cancer. You can get rid of us, but we'll always worm our way back into existence - if only as the echo of a memory. ;)
Ironic, how we find ourselves right back where we started. Hey, that's what Xavax culture has always been about :) From cinder to spark, and spark unto ash; the Phoenix Flame burns evermore.
"In the loss of our homes, we first lay shattered. Our very existence torn from the mantle of creation, yet we still lived. We few who hailed from opposite corners of the globe, discovered a purpose in these lands. A purpose in one another. We birthed the spirit of Xavax - we embodied the Phoenix in eternal rebearth from the ashes of what came before... Just as each of you now embody the spirit, the face, the voice, the essence of Xavax. The Phoenix of Xavax is the divine reflection of the chaos that brought us together, reforged by the ferocity, malleability, conviction, and righteousness of our greater purpose - a purpose each one had to find within himself. Birthed in the moment your spirit decided upon leaving the old world behind... Tempered by the uncertainty of thy voyages... Its flame kindled by the first pangs of hope felt upon smelling, hearing, and finally looking upon solid ground... It was born in the first child-like steps you took upon the shores of Xavax - whose innocence bore the seed of thy purpose. We are the product of the spirit that saw us torn from our homes, only to discover another lay waiting in the distance. A species of divine irony that somehow manages to infect us with hope. Desperate, glorious hope. In honor of the irony of our fates... that birthed the very spirit of the phoenix in all of us. Xerarch... "walker of earth ; land-treader ; Originating from or upon dry land."... our previously-dry empires... soon to lie submerged beneath the vast oceans. It points to our origin, our history of hailing from existing realms, from stability and education and civilization, followed by the loss of all that we are... Yet in honoring our spirits, we re-discovered the meaning of civilization, culture, faith, and purpose in a totally alien setting - with complete strangers to make matters even more complicated - for the mutual benefit or guaranteed destruction of all..."

Can't bounce back since its dead. ;)
-
Can't wait to prove that statement as patently false ;)
-
I think people now pretty much know you returned :o
-
Yep. It was kind of communicated to all the Princes, plus Selenia's back (unpaused), plus other things.
Sigrid's a whole different beast than magnus, though. Kind of a cross between alura, selenia, rynn, and magnus, if that makes sense.
(her mother) Alura's fiercely loyal sense of duty, selenia's scheming, rynn's politicking (bastard's father) and magnus' passion. More to-the-point than magnus could ever be by design, pragmatic conservative like alura, and... "innovative" like selenia. Starkly non-tyrant compared to selenia, and far more willing to play the political game than Magnus, however.
Lets see what shenanigans happen this time.

1 more step.
To infinity and beyond!
For Xavax!
