Or you being the accepted player he'll need to bend to you a bit.

Huh, didn't think of it that way. We'll see if he reads my NS and IC posts and decides to go for it, then.

Looks like if Chap intends to expand northwards me and him could come into a conflict over dominance of the natives in the region.

Combining this with the powerful delta kingdom who intends to trade with me and the politics will start getting rather interesting; to say the least of what may being going on with the northern parts of the world and the potential civ that will border the Dominion of Ordov.

What annoys me is that aaron cut the part of my empire that split into the eastern region- they were supposed to have a minor developing colony there for natives to torment.

[Titanic]

wait, if sch's nation is on the western delta of the river valley. Why do I have to change areas?

[AlienBastard]

You don't have to put you should probably have some cultural similarities to sch's nation. After all both of you occupy similar regions and likely have a similar source of civilization.

[Titanic]

oh that, ya I'm going to start working on it

Edit: I gotta make some differences, there had to be a reason why my nation never united with sch's nation.

[Schylerwalker]

Well that, and I've already described in two IC posts the names of the lands to the east of me, my relations to them, and the possibility of invading them.

Then I gotta read them. I got a question, if Ordovin based on a RL language?

would it be possible for you to make a TL;DR overview of what you posted?

[Schylerwalker]

Yes, Ordovin and most of the names I've used so far are a mixture of Russian, Greek, and Armenian, mostly Armenian.

The Dominion of Ordov is a nationalized dictator state of a much larger cultural region (That entire valley and the nearby foothills to the north and south, and the north and western shores of the great lake). Previously, it was a confederation of tribal kingdoms before a general slaughtered all the royal families save for one child, who he placed on the throne. This was four years ago, and also took place during a massive invasion of organized, slightly-more technologically advanced goblinoids called the Vydari. The Vydari were defeated and the Dominion rose to power.

Outside the Dominion, dozens of clans and several tribal kingdoms remain independent of the Tia'Gevor (High King). Notable rebels include the reputable Taelyc del'Faylos. He controls a large realm to the northwest of me, mostly on the coast and in the mountains. Since he grants himself the royal del', he is basically snubbing the court of the Dominion, and he's raising a large army. And he controls several silver, iron, and salt mines, and we can't have those out of Dominion hands, now can we?

Occupying the eastern side of the Ord'Hyryyn (Vale of Ordov) are three other Ordovin realms; Geir (Geirlish), which prides itself on the breeding of horses, Russk (Russkl), aggressive warriors and skilled foresters, and Starig (Starigov), who control the headwaters coming out of the Mournskull Mountains (The range north of the big lake). These lands combined are (Theoretically) half the population of the Dominion and less well-armed and organized, but I guess that's ultimately your decision. If you take that region as yours, you'll probably also end up being some High King who united them.

I'm sorry that that summary ended up being pretty long, but I've already posted like 30 paragraphs in the IC, and my application also took a lot of work. I'd prefer that you read them so you can get a better idea of the history, lore, and political situation, especially if you're going to be literally right next to me.

[AlienBastard]

Made a IC post!

If anyone intends to trade i'll be using the guards I introduced in what really was a post to say "i'm participating!" as I really need to figure out the internal story arc I want to tell for the inner kingdom or perhaps talk of the experiences of the colony outside of the large somewhat isolated lake region my kingdom dominates.

I over occupied myself with Cosmic Community for the past day or two, but now that i'm free of needing to make the OP for that I got ICing to do. I likely may move to Landfall next since I feel that's been really neglected.

[Dinh AaronMk]

I should post.

[Chapatrap]

I'll post later today.

[Snow]

-Derp-

[Schylerwalker]

Titanic, I'd appreciate if you could finish your nation sheet today or tomorrow. I don't want to post in the IC against until you've finished or moved, because I don't want either of us to have to retconn anything.

I'm working on it. I dont exactly have that much time today or tomorrow but i will try to finish it

[The Nexerus]

I'm working on an NS right now.

[Titanic]

Since your religion part of the NS isnt specific on the Old Way, I'm going to form it into a more specific religion

" the Old Way, honoring the fey spirits of earth, stone, spring and leaf. They make sacrifices to the Horned Lord and the Lady of the Water and Wind and throw great festivals to celebrate their power. "

Pretty vague, but still something to go on.

When I read that, I think of native americans that honor nature.

Edit: also I changed the name of my nation, just combined the three tribes names.

[Vilageidiotx]

Considering the application of fey, I think the druidic paganism of the British Isles is a fair basis.
