@gcold Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions about Leif and company? Shall I presume that they are still in the tunnels/dungeon, and that Sevine hasn't seen him yet?

So is it the same day, or the next day? Just for clarifications.

May as well just rip it out at this point, save yourself the trouble down the line

@Frizan

My thoughts exactly!

@MiddleEarthRoze Since GC put his post up, I was thinking, maybe we ought to do like a recap scene in our next post for Rhasha, and Sevine finding Sylvanis, unless you're still game for the collab, otherwise, I think solo posts would be useful here.

What's the specs?

Edit: IC post up. @MacabreFox, Sevine might be concerned for her horse, since the stables are now under Kamal control.

@gcold

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Poor Asper, haven't put him to much use in IC so far, but she did raise the beast from birth. I suppose more heart break is good for the soul (;

What young woman doesn't want to be Largatha from Vikings? She's just the coolest ever.

You be welcome! I'm a wealth of random knowledge, like a crane game where someone got goodies from like 8 different vendors.

@Dervish

Yes exactly! Ironically, that was the name of my old rugby team! For that very same reason.

<Snipped quote by Dervish>

I like to make characters who make their own torment. No enemy to defeat but yourself, that sorta shit.

<Snipped quote by Leidenschaft>

I can totally see Sadri trying to win over Solveig in vain with Leif.

@Peik

Now that would be something fun to see written!

<Snipped quote by Dervish>

I dunno man, I'm just saying that maybe she'd make more friends if she weren't always carrying a blood-covered waraxe with her at all times. She could use her now-free hands to learn an instrument or something, too. She could be a badass violinist!

@Frizan

Perhaps a lute? Or a lyre would be more along her lines. Actually a harp sounds nice.

I love that song.

And don't you mean For Sovengarde? ;D

Fun little trivia thing: In the Norwegian army, Til Valhall is the motto/ battle cry of one of its mechanized battalions. Hundreds of years after Vikings, they still shine off and flaunt that bit of their heritage. Way to go, Norgies. Way to go.

@Dervish

In the case of Sevine, yes. For myself, not if I want to be a shieldmaiden x)

Now that is interesting! I didn't know that, but I love fun facts like this. Thanks Derv.

Formaroth {Battle for the Throne} Reference Sheet

Elven Imperium

Location The Elven Imperium is located on the continent of Beilokias. Beilokias is located to the north-east of Formaroth.

Crest

A Blue flag with the emblem of the Elven hierarchy on top (Emperor, Patricians, Priesthood, Equestrians, Commoners, Slaves)

Relations with other Kingdoms

The Elven Imperium’s status with near all other civilizations is either one of hostility, or animosity. This is due to the Elven Imperium’s constant invasions against different continents, or their harsh treatment of civilizations they have already conquered. Formaroth is the only nation which is an exception to this rule. After the Imperium’s decision to invade, and conquer Formaroth ended in a colossal failure, the senate of the Imperium believed that future invasions of Formaroth would be far too costly. After all the original invasion resulted in a war that lasted forty-eight years, and cost the lives of over 500,000 elven soldiers (five times more than the number of Human soldiers killed). Not to mention the invasion almost bankrupted the Imperium. As a result, the animosity between Formaroth, and the Imperium slowly died down over the years, and the two nations now share neutral relations.

Political Structure

Beilokias is under complete control of the Imperium, and unlike Formaroth, it is not made up of separate kingdoms. The Emperor/Empress, and the senate have complete control over the empire, and no one dares to question, or disobey their commands. The senate is made up of Patricians who elect an emperor, or empress, once the previous one dies. Social class is extremely important in the Elven Imperium, and people are always judged by their social class before all else, depending on what class, also decides what job, and lifestyle one can lead. The only way in which people can improve their standing in society is by marrying into a class above them, a task which is extremely difficult to do. Slaves are often treated extremely poorly, though slaves owned by members of the Equestrian class are usually treated with some level of decency; most slaves are owned by members of the Patricians class, who treat their slaves cruelly, and sadistically. Slaves are mostly made up of other species but they are also made up of Elven criminals. The priesthood is very different from the rest of Elven society; they are made up entirely of Elven Mages, and lead humble, peaceful lives, devoting it entirely to learning more about the world, and developing their magical skill.

Kingdom's Main Export of Goods

The Elven Imperium has a vast empire spanning continents, and as a result, they possess a massive trading network. The Elves import mass amounts of food, materials, tools, ornaments, etc from the nations it has control over.

Description of Beilokias

Beilokias is a continent with a climate similar to South America, jungle-like, hot and humid; it has a similar climate regardless of where you are. Beilokias has very varied terrain, as a vast amount of the land is either comprised of jungle or farmland. The continent is also home to several mountain ranges, swamps, and inland lakes and lagoons. The flora and wildlife of Beilokias is extremely different to Formaroth with much of the vegetation being Giant Fungi and moss rather than trees and grass.

Description of Elves

Elves are dark blue skinned with pointed ears and long stretched faces. Their hands have three fingers, and are more like claws than fingers. Most elves are shorter than humans by around 30cm. Elves live much longer than humans; the average lifespan of an elf is 210 years. However they also mature slower and do not reach adulthood until 30. Elves are known for their intelligence and wisdom as well as their skill in magic. They are also known to be very prideful and boastful, often looking down of other species and cultures. Those of the upper classes will go to great lengths to show off their social class. Elven architecture is difficult to describe as it is different to any other human civilization that exists in Formaroth to date. The best way to describe it would be a cross between Aztec and medieval Persian architecture. Despite only being half the size of Formaroth, the Elven Imperium is densely populated and has up to seven cities within its land (while Formaroth only has four).

This seems appropriate.

@Dervish

Ironically this is one of my favorite songs!

@Frizan Sagax and Roze will certainly keep her on her toes, maybe make her act less erratic even! As I've mentioned before, she gets that protective attitude from her little sister, yet I really need to utilize that aspect, and make her sit her ass down and write a letter, perhaps then we'll see why she's so motherly/mama bear-like.

But, if anything, she won't be putting down that axe anytime soon, not while these two hooligans are off trying to blow one another up!

@Dervish
For Valhalla!!!

<Snipped quote by MiddleEarthRoze>

To be fair, one if the characters in question had a wife and kids. It was easily one of my favorite arcs and there was a kiss. I'm hoping to trap steer Dervish into a SolveigxKarth arc if I can't get Solveig to snatch one of Fox's characters. A SolveigxLeif arc would be interesting if Sevine turns down both of them.

Also, computer gets here tomorrow! Expect posts and collabs, yay!

@Leidenschaft

Gah! Haha, that would be something to see! Well I plan on sticking around to see something happen with either Sevine, or Leif. I've been considering candidates as to who would be a potential partner for Sevine, but that's been a tough one so far, as I don't particularly have anyone concrete in mind. However, Leif, I've certainly narrowed it down to two of our women, and that is Solveig or Roze, but of course, Sevine is always on his list, perhaps she'll change her mind over time, and realize that Leif is the man for her all along? That is of course, if she realizes that before he finds someone, or vice versa.

There's a reason why I created the two, Sevine having few friends from birth, and no experience in the field of love, makes her vulnerable, and uneasy to the idea of love itself, whereas Leif is extremely experienced in that field, it creates a complex, where Sevine purposely has avoided his attention from the start, and he simply can't figure out why she's turned him down so many times. He's too much of a ladies man for her tastes, although she's never given it much thought as to what her tastes are. Not being a chauvinistic pig is number one on her list I believe, the man, or woman, in this case, has to have some self-respect.

I do quite enjoy the idea of SolveigxSevine, as I swing both ways per se, but I've never had a FxF relationship via roleplay. There is still the potential for a SevinexRhasha as well (; she would just love to cuddle up to a furry kitty every night for the rest of her life. That's as far as I've thought it out. I was thinking of a SevinexSagax earlier on, but now that he's got his eye on Roze, well, I'll leave you two to figure that out!

In any case, I'm eager to flesh out Sevine like no other, and really explore the depth of her personality.

@MiddleEarthRoze T-Pad 1 is unoccupied, I've claimed it.

@MacabreFox

Sounds good! And who's was over 5000, ours or yours? :)

@MiddleEarthRoze

Ours, it was around 6k if I remember correctly! Sure, let me see what pads are available! Do you want to start us off?
