To Lund ap Lunds [ Early Middle Ages NRP ]

The peasants and serfs of the land had burst into work when the cold subsided, but their lists of chores became as short as the nights, and there was now some time in each day to relax. The sun was out most days, and storms were not so numerous. For those who did not face hardships in the last annum, it was peaceful, warm, and quiet. In the south, the days were hot enough that fires no longer needed to be kept at night, and for once people regretted cursing the cold as they had, for this Growing season proved particularly hot. In the north, the temperature was perfect: a cool breeze swept over land, keeping the sun's warmth from scorching the earth.

Those in the towns rejoiced at the new goods available at the markets, the travelling troupes and traders, who could now reach them with ease. One could walk the streets without fear of the weather, and children played games outside doorsteps.

To most in Lundland, the worries that beset them in past years seemed of little concern, and elders recalled the many peaceful years during Balthazar's reign. Trying to sound smart, some would say that the recent battles of late were only a hiccup, and Rone, favoured by God, had restored order. Indeed, even the most cynical could not help but feel careless in the light of perfect weather and peaceful calm.

There was not, however, a single Lord in Lundland who shared this opinion.

The recent declaration by House Vearin sparked outrage. Numerous letters poured into their court, demanding that the traitorous princess be handed over. Rumours echoed off the walls at Bolgaz's court, that Theodore had been found, and a number of the Great Lords schemed to place him on the throne. Raiders and bandits abound wreaked havoc on the coffers of Lords, and many are panicked. New arms are being commissioned in the hundreds, while troops practice daily in courtyards. All over high society is the feeling of imminent and unwanted war. It seems only the Great Lords of Lundland see opportunity in the chaos presented.

But perhaps the greatest scandal of the last season came in the form of goodwill.

Lord Lothar Wolff, the Lord of Attolia, had been sending crops to the devastated Crownlands, that the people there may be alleviated from starvation, as their lands were ravaged by the Bogans. Everywhere the Lord's men went, they saw abandoned houses, people left to die in the fields, many of which were either tended by weak hands, or by no-one at all. Hordes of thin children with caved-in faces begged incessantly for food. Upon having these images reported to him, the Lord ordered that Attolia open its borders to anyone who wish it, and to not only continue his charity work, but to enlist the aid of his vassals and the Church. He condemned the inaction of House Trisch, and made certain his men delivered the crops to their proper destinations.

The nobility of the Crownland took great offence to these actions. Oh, they appreciated the charity alright, but when they heard that their peasants and serfs were to be invited away from them, there was an uproar. Many noble houses had lost fathers and sons in the wars with the Bogans. There were many whose Houses were to go extinct, and many more who were so impoverished that they starved alongside their subjects. That their sources of wealth were to be taken away from them was inconceivable. A very large petition was sent to House Trisch, citing the ancient rights of the nobility were being trodden upon by a fellow vassal of the realm, accompanied by insinuations that their poverty was to be confused as laziness!

Sir Ingen, the father of Theodore, stepped in, and told the Attolian soldiers that they were not allowed to take any so-called 'refugees' with them, and that violation of this order was to result in serious punishment.

Rone stayed in his bedroom during almost all of the growing season. He came out of it looking stronger than ever, covered in the dried blood of foxes and cats, which were littered about his bedroom floor. For the first time in his entire reign, he also issued an order: the equipment for a hundred knights were to be forged in Everfallow, to arm the nobility untouched by the recent war. He invited these nobles to Bolgaz. When asked about this sudden decree, he strikes at the inquirer, and says nothing more.

Hey Flooby, when's the deadline for this season? I'm expecting to get a post up within the next couple of days, I've just been kinda busy and don't want to miss the window.

45 minutes ago, but IC posts aren't necessary, it's the orders I need. Speaking of which, I only have 4 by my count. Moar pl0x.

Expect the next IC/update to be posted at noon tomorrow.

And I forgot the bloody Church again. Bollocks!

Constantine is a fucking schemer.

Or is he?

I would have to strongly disagree. A nation has a ruler that makes decisions and choices, and interactions between other leaders can have a very atrong influence on those decisions and choices.

I never said anything to contradict this. The amount of time needed for diplomacy can be inadequate: I admit that. No other comment on that.

Heyitsjiwon said
I've been taking the IC post as if they were episodic snap shots of each Lord during their more significant moments during that season.

jiwon has the idea, here. There's simply no way to predict how each player will want to develop their cast of characters. Some may only want to spend an IC post or two giving everyone a snapshot, while others might want to write a great deal more, detailing the conflicts of the inner-lives of their characters.

I've needed to, unfortunately, make a compromise that satisfies neither party, by making time work as it does. Think of it like the Sims. You spend a little time with a character in one point in their lives, talk about broad-strokes things, then meet up with them later in a different point in their lives.

It's not ideal, but this is an NRP, and characters unfortunately need to come second before the needs of game mechanics.

EDIT: Also, in the beta, there were two weeks between each season. The RP proceeded at a pace too slow for most people's liking.

To Lund ap Lunds [ Early Middle Ages NRP ]

As I've expressed to some of you, I apologize for a lack of productivity on my part. Work and courses are 'killin me. However, I have the next three days off to do just do coursework and attend class, and thus can back on track for this.

Yes, you need to have your orders in by tomorrow midnight. I'm going to be mr. bossy GM and say that one week is plenty of time: if I can do the results for your orders and update your sheets in two days time, it shouldn't be difficult to simply make those orders, since all that's required are bullet points of what you'd like done. Especially since 'nothing' is a valid order.

I did not forget your merc. results, Cale. There's simply nothing to update until the next season. Also, so long as no changes are made to your kingdom's official stats, I'm okay with re-linking to your updated page.

EDIT: And yes, things are heating up! I, personally, am very much looking forward to the coming season. . .

The Overlord's Land, sometimes called the Crownlands, have waxed and waned over the years. Trischland, however, has always been the mighty seat of House Trisch. Its lands are fertile enough to support its people, and the town of Pentiloch; the largest town in Lundland. Pentiloch was built over five small lakes, with its buildings hovering over the canals built by their streams. The constant warfare of late has drained the town of its people and wealth. Many of its inhabitants cannot find work, and have become malnourished. Gangs of young men have taken to ruling the streets with force, making a living through theft, extortion, and racketeering.

The Fortress of Bolgaz overlooks the town from the top of a hill so steep, that wagons have difficulty climbing to bring it supplies. It is a vast place, with walls 72 feet in height, and a foot thick. Its manor intertwines with the walls through a series of narrow bridges, lined with a short, arrow-slitted wall. Everything needed to live is kept within its walls. Overlord Rone has not left the fortress since his father's death a season ago, but even before then, he left it rarely. His commanders now struggle to save his lands from its war room, where they grimace over long odds.

Falkwreath was once a single fief, but a century and half ago, it was split in two. The countrylands were delegated to the landed knights under House Trisch, providing them with many well-armed levies, while the portion under the Mayor of Falkwreath's influence was given more his administration. Falkwreath is located in a convenient route of travel between other towns, so it receives a lot of traffic from passing merchants. However, recent times have been hard for the town, with traders becoming more and more afraid of travelling through the war-torn area.

Everfallow is a rocky land, where little can be grown. Its people only grow hardy plants within the earth, and hunt goats. But the fief has a great deal of mineral wealth, and its earthy hills provide excellent opportunities for defensive positions, the most famous being the fief's manor, Castle Burntstone. The castle rivals Bolgaz in its positioning as a fortification, but many years ago, a powerful fire broke out in the kitchens, as a result of oil being lit on fire from a candle. The entire castle became engulfed in a fire, making it as an oven. Much of the castle's stone is still durable, but some still remains charred and ruined.
