Age of Glory - Renassiance-Era RP set in a Pseudo-Europe(Reboot!)

The Beylik of Sarkel

Sarkıl'ın Beylik

Form of Government
Electorate Semi-Monarchy

The governemnt is headed by a monarch called the Bey. The Bey is kept in check by a small team of advisors, and a much larger group of elctorates who meet when a new law has been passed to determine whether or not it is in the best interests of the Sarkelese People. The Advisors are comprised solely of members of the nobility while the Electorates are selected among the common people via voting. In order for the Bey's descisions to be overturned, they need 5/7 Advisors or 60/100 Electorates.

Location on Map Desired:

Capital
Çavus

About Çavus

Çavus was founded by the Sarkelese people shortly after their migration from their original homelands into Edoniras many centuries ago. Nestled far inland, protected by a mountain range the Sarkelese had taken to using for iron mining in their ancient past, Çavus slowly grew into a center of commerce for all the nomadic people and town dwellers in the nearby plains back in the early middle ages.

As Çavus began to grow, so did its cultural and economic ability. The city became a leading center of Iron production, and later continued to thrive once Steel was being produced from the nearby mountain's abundant iron deposits. Çavus is now a major industrial center, producing many fine steel products and weapons. With more money and more people flooding into the city, it's culture began to fire off in all directions. For many, the name Çavus is synonymous with the city's rich musical history, which continues to thrive and only grow as time goes on.

Important Settlements

Qarluk - Qarluk is the 2nd largest city in the region, still within the central portion of the city, but much more south west than Çavus.

Sarkel - The original captial of the country, it has evolved much from a simple nomads camp into a major city of agriculture. It is named after its massive white cliffs, the name Sarkel meaning "The White House" in Sarkelese. Sarkel is primarily agricultural, but there is a significant industrial sector beginning to rise up to produce farm and livestock equiptment. Sarkel is close to the eastern border, in a flat, grassy area with some bluffs and cliffs to the north of it.

Gabağat - A smaller city that sprung up in the far north of the country to aid in the trade routes. It also has a good deal of military stationed there to fend off any kind of attempt to invade via the semi neglect northern provinces.

Description:
Sarkel is a nation that was founded by a strange invasion. Not so much an invasion as a migration, that of a far eastern nomad people called the Chagati. Fleeing from a disaster in their homelands, the Chagati were able to easily overrun and conquer a territory inhabited by a now extinct people known as the Rumi. The Rumi themselves were little more than barbarians to many, and though their lack of unity and technological backwardsness, the horse riding Chagati were able to settle into their new home with little to no effort. Settling and centering around the white cliffs that they came to call the Sarkeller, or the white houses, the Chagati would come to identify themselves as the people of the Sarkeller, and later simply the people of Sarkel. It took a long while before the people became exposed to the native people of Edoniras, and slowly began to transition from their traditional nomadic way of life into the city dwelling ways in the middle of the Medieval years. With their traditions of Iron Working, Black Smithing, and Horsemanship, they were able to hold their own and survive in an unfamiliar land, eventually becoming as much a part of the land as any native people.

Sarkelese is unrelated to any of the native languages of Edoniras, coming from the far east (It is represented by Turkish and sometimes other Turkic Languages for Dialects). Their religion is also unique, being a very animistic religion centered around the Shaman and the Horse, with the sky as the most holy of all things.

Phenotypically they are different as well, though mixing with natives has made their more odd traits less common. The average male and female look as follows.

Sarkelese Phenotype

Average Man: http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab329/786512/lo12/01/a94306f4.jpg
Average Woman: https://pmsol3.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/averageuzbekfemale.jpg

Their religion has no concept of a moral code, and many who encounter the Sarkelese take note of their brutality in war, with a military record noting " They do not fight for religion nor for interpretation of Scripture nor for sovereignty nor for taxes nor for patriotism nor for jealousy, nor for defense of their home, nor for wealth, but only for plunder."

The standard currency is the At, so named after the horse, for which the medieval nomadic Sarkelese measured their wealth in. The At was originally defined as the price for a horse, and as such through workings of the the growing economy and measure of traditional trading, the price of a horse was defined as half an ounce of gold, and equal to 3 Cattle (Inek). an Inek is equal to 5 lbs of Grain (Ekmek). With a Su (water) being the smallest denomination of Currency. It is as follows.

1 At = 3 Inekler = 15 Ekmekler = 300 Sular

1 Inek = 5 Ekmekler = 100 Sular

1 Ekmek = 20 Sular

Loaf of Bread = 15 Sular
A New set of Clothes = 1 Ekmek and 10 Sular
A meal for 4 People: 1 Inekler
A house = 3 Atlar

Important Characters:

Khatir Bey of Begugtei, Son of Bugha - The current Bey, a man of 37 years, he has only recently assumed the title of Bey after the sudden and unforseen death of his father Bugha. Belonging to the Bugegtei Clan, which has ruled the Beylik since the time of Industrialization began, he is very much a rightful leader, and wishes to keep his Dynasty's reputation strong.

The Divan, Advisors to the Bey

Sibaguchu of Clan Qarluk, Advisor of Industry
Chichäk of Clan Temur, Advisor of Domestic Issues
Chorpan of Clan Dorben, Advisor of Diplomacy
Kisa Tarkhan of Clan Barghun, Advisor of War and Commander of the Sarkelese Horde
Khorijin of Clan Tatar, Advisor of Agriculture
Ötemish of Clan Bulghar, Advisor of Religious Affairs
Taichu of Clan Altai, Advisor of the Treasury

Traits:

Water is Hell: The Water has never been anything important to the historically nomadic people of Sarkel. Even now, as they have firmly transitioned from pastoral nomads into city dwelling industrialists, they lack even the most basic capabilities to field a navy, with the only ships they posses being small merchant boats. +6 (Adds Stability)

Rotting Hulls: The few ships that do exist are so poorly taken care of that they may as well no exist at all. +2

Large Army: Owing to their nomadic heritage, war comes natural to the people of Sarkel, and horde tactics are very common, such as surrounding and overrunning the enemy, as well as just the psychological fear of fighting a swarm of vicious warriors. As can be expected, once the transition from nomad ism to sedentary life was complete, and the industrial capabilities of new cities were finally realized, the ways of waging war only intensified -2

Professional Army: Since the current standing military is made up of people with war in their blood, training begins at the age of 16 for most, who leave their homes to become a part of the army and train each and every day in the use of Sword fighting, Horseback Riding, and Musketry. The Most elite are conscripted as children and trained in the most elite fighting styles that the Beylik has to offer. -3

Trading Hub: Çavus has provided much for the economy of Sarkel, and is world renowned for its economic power. -3

Strong Industry: Sarkelese Steel is held in high regard and its not hard to see why. Most anything crafted from metal and made in Sarkel can fetch a hefty price in a foreign market, but everyone knows they are paying for the best. -2

Renaissance Men: The great variety of ideas and items that pass into the hands of Sarkel though trade exposes the many great minds of the nation to try and tinker of their own ability. As such, art and technology flourish throughout the nation. -2

Mercenaries: In addition to their own rugged people, the money that passes into Sarkelese hands makes the acquisition of mercenaries a regular occurrence, with many bases covered by the international language of money.+/-

Army:
35,000 Veterans
60,000 Regulars
50,000 Recruits
(2/3 is mercenaries do to small army)

Navy:
1 Frigate
4 Barques
3 Brigs

GDP:
73,000,000,000 ($)

Population:
6,350,000

Stability:
Very Stable - Very Reactionary and so are not open to change

<Snipped quote by Nerevarine>

Slight problem, as my plans for the map go when I actually get someone to map for me is that their is only one continent which will be connected to no others, for the time being anyways. I see mentions that they come from elsewhere other then Edoniras. While I don't have a problem with them possibly originating from elsewhere then Edoniras, I just need to say that they would have no knowledge of those areas.

Beyond that your good to go, put your app in the dump and put STATS NEED TO BE DONE like that so I know I need to get your traits shipped off to Gowia for rolls.

@duck55223

Thanks! Im totally fine with them having long forgoten their old homeworld, but would like, legends and myths that no longer have much basis or truth in them about it be okay? (As as some mythical land or even an afterlife/spiritual plain)

The Scythian

Name: Ursula of Scythia (also simply called The Scythian)
Appearance:


Bio: Ursula belongs to the warrior caste (Kshatriya) of the Iranian speaking Scythians, a race of horse riding warrior people native to the vast northern steppes of their world. For as long as any scythian can remember, their people have been devoted to fighting off and sealing away evil creatures of darkness. The Scythians refer to them as Masses, but most outside their universe would recognize these dark beings as Heartless. Ursula lost her father and many a tribesman to these beings, and she has a great deal of healthy hatred towards them. Originally she was tracking down a particularly powerful one, the Gogolothic Mass, and traced the being to the Caucasian Mountains, where it lurked beneath the sacred mountain of Mingi Taw. The Scythian fought her way to obtain the means to defeat the creature, sparing no enemy that got in her way. Ultimatly, she defeated the creature, but nearly lost her life in the process. Before the power of the Trigon Trifecta and the Sworcery of the Megatome killed her, she was saved and returned to health via the moogles. It was around this time of recovery that the Scythian encountered a brutish bear known only as The Grizzled Boor. Upon tracking down and defeating the Boor in battle, the Scythian was given a key to a place of great power if she would spare his life. Both made good on their promises, and the Boor showed her the Moon Grotto. Through meditation in this place, the Scythian got stronger and healed faster; in addition, this was the time that her keyblade first manifested, the Luna Sarmatiae. Upon being informed of what it was she had been gifted with and now aware of her enemy's true nature, she is ready to live up to her tribe's purpose and destroy the Heartless once and for all.

Age:
Being a member of a group of Iron Age nomads and being a prominent member of their warrior caste going out on her first missions, id posit Ursula's age at 16. She is over halfway done with her life according to the life expentancies of her time.

Skills:
As a member of the Scythian Kshatriya, Ursula has been trained in the arts of war. She is extremely skilled in the area of swordfighting and horseback archery. She also is able to survive in the wilderness by foraging and raiding others for supplies, a standard Scythian tactic. Ursula also appears to be able to read, something uncommon in her culture. Ursula also has a natural affinity for something called Sworcery, a form of magic, but one that the nomad warrior has not trained it beyond simply telepathy and telekinesis.

Personality:
As a Kshatriya, Ursula grew up with wealth, well, as much wealth as a nomad can have. As such, it has made her a bit arrogant, manifested in her use of We as her first person pronoun, and her headstong warrior attitude. Ursula also has a cultural dislike of rainbows, as Scythians associate them with Masses. This may not be true, but the Scythian would rather not take her chances. She also doesnt like Sheep. No real reason why.

World Sheet
Name: The Dream World

Summary of History:
The dream world actually has two parts. Part A is a relatively normal earth in the Iron Age. The major difference being the lack of any large settlements, which would be targeted by Masses/Heartless. Most people inhabit little cottages and farm what they need to live or live as nomads.

Part B is an Esoteric World that exists between the fabric of world A. Part B is a hazy purple clone of Part A, in a eternal night with the moon featured promenantly. The only way to reach this world is to fall asleep in Part A, but be warned. If your A body is killed, or you are killed in Part B, you die in both worlds. As such, it is only recomended to sleep in a safe location in both worlds, like ones cabin or amongst a tribal lookout. Part B is free of masses, and as such it has more sprawling metropoli and brighter lights in the forests. It is in many ways a happy alternative to the bleak real world.
