Martyrs make everything better. A great rallying point for drumming up religious fervor, and justifying extremism. Need to start a war against someone? Find yourself a martyr, and the people will lap it up, letting you get away with stuff you would *never* be able to do otherwise.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Glaum, this is cool enough to deserve a thread of its own.

Very interesting. I see some flaws, but its not like its going to be easy to find a picture that perfectly represents a realm. Thanks for the pics.

Well for Aurvandiil I was trying to find some really ostentatious armoured knights or cataphracts. Its quite hard to find so basically you get a sort of flawed representation of what Asylon thinks the Aurvandiil army looks like. I am sure all of you have your own views of your kingdoms and the way they dress but I am trying to imagine the world from an Asylonians view. Morek and SA would be very muslim or Indian mughul or Saracen etc. The Moot would be Viking/Roman style. Asylon has turned into a barbarian type wasteland horde after the war with Kabrinskia and the long starvation, plus eating Bloodmoon has made them appear more savage. And Aurvandiil of course would be this glittering horde of diamond encrusted silver knights.

Barca plays with a Carthaginian RP, btw.

Rome is probably a fair RP basis for depicting Terran.

This is neat though.

A proper Barcan captain, in a Medievocarthaginian fashion  ;D



Good idea though, Glaumring.

Yeah thats a better representation of the Barcans!

I want Asylon to be like tattoed woad covered picts or celts with Gaul and germanic tribe mix. Barbarian Viking mix.

Well, we are a mix from the original Asylonians(and the first Caerwyn colonist), Viking-Thulsomans and Caerwyn-english/welsh(Not sure what culture old Caerwyn had, just have this vauge image that they would be medieval English or welsh?), then add some Zuma radiation and 2 drops of bloodmoon juice, voila a fine example of Asylon warriors.
