Expanding Universe-Season 1

@Lauder

What does Azir look like? Can't seem to find a CS anywhere.

Also @Polybius do we want to post our CS's in the Character tab so they're easier to find?

@Awesomoman64

Oh yea, I'm sorry I thought that was a given. Everyone post your CS in the Character tab!

Expanding Universe-Season 1

I'm going to have to back out from this RP. Sorry, I've spent hours trying to figure out a fun character for this RP but nothing is coming to me. You can use the Sohnen for the galaxy, though!

@Whoami

Do you want to use one of the characters from the interest check thread?

@Polybius

Hey I just noticed @OtomostheCrazy's character isn't in the tab.

@Awesomoman64

Shit your right. I'll add Izzy when I get home.

<Snipped quote by OtomostheCrazy>

Been wondering the same thing.

@Awesomoman64

I'm waiting for another CS. Would you guys like to start anyway? Meet up in the south bay hangar. Captain Erek us there.

@Polybius I told you, I don't know how to do what you ask

@Catchphrase

Instead of using the color tag 'blue' use steelblue for all your references. The regular blue color is vicious on the eyes.
This is the code:

Ah yes, Pelmar's Lake. Let us begin with how it is today. It is a relatively large lake, full of the wreckage of the old ship Pelmar, for which the lake gets its name, as well as many other ships that fought on the lake for Emperor Haldisfar's amusement. The Emperor once ruled most of this land, until the day of his death, right on the very lake itself. The reason he died, well, that is because of the ship Pelmar, who sunk the Emperors own ship, The Valiant, in a contest. Costing both ships their crew.

You see, the Emperor had a fascination with ships, building them, sailing them, and destroying them. He made the lake with funds that he acquired in his war against leprechauns which lasted many years, till his armies were victorious. After the battle, he had his best engineers design and build the lake, with water coming in from the Descaren Sea which used to be bigger at the time. After it was filled up, they were still in need of a name, so, the Emperor decided to hold a contest. Anyone who wished to name the lake, may enter into the contest with their own ship and crew, the winner would be whichever ship was last floating on the lake. Over a hundred ships were entered, with the total number of crew from all ships being in the thousands, most of which belonged to the Emperor's own ships. Which leads us to the Pelmar.

The Pelmar was a small ship, no bigger than two longboats tied end to end, and as about as wide as two lashed side by side. It was built, and crewed, by twelve men, Thomas Dunn, William Jones, Henry Hopk, Barry Tills, Hu Man, Wo Man, Gerry Gells, Lokar Betl, James Jameson, Bill Billson, Harry Hatg and Killar Narm. These men and women were completely unknown to anyone, and despite there being twelve names on the roster, on six were ever seen at one time. It was an entire year after the contest was announced that it finally took place, with the Emperor man in his own ship, and the Pelmar being manned by six people. After the contest started, the crew of the Pelmar suddenly doubled, and became much shorter. It turned out to be a trick! The crew of the Pepmar were none other, than King Kallar, Leader of the leprechauns and his most trusted bodyguards.

Towards the end of their war, they escaped to take revenge later. Now was their time. As soon as they revealed themselves, they used their magic to set the Emperor's ship alight, as well as their own, and rammed each other, until on the final ram, both ships cracked in half and sunk to the bottom. With the Emperor dead, and no one willing to admit that a leprechaun had done it, The Great Civil War broke out. But, everyone decided that the lake should be named after the Pelmar, and so, Pelmar's Lake was born.

And thus, a new era was born, as well as a lake.

If you take a minute and read the Compendium Information section under the character tab you'll see the way to Format your Compendium Articles. You can always PM with questions!

I've added a few rules for posting articles. You can view them under the character tab below the cast roster. (Compendium article guidelines)

@Catchphrase I'll add you references to the unclaimed articles table once you correctly format your post 'Pelmar's Lake'

Hello!

This looks like an interesting format for an RP, and I need something to remove me from my four-month-long hiatus.

I have two character concepts that I am considering playing:

- An elderly retired adventurer that has resigned to documenting the beasts and monsters he has encountered on his travels,

or

- A cocky, clever chemist with a history of working for numerous royals and nobles as a "doctor" (read: poisoner)

@BingTheWing

Welcome! Either would be fine. Send me a CS and I'll add you to the cast. Make sure you read the compendium format guidelines under the character tab.

@Polybius Yeah, I can see the categories getting out of hand. I would say you should put a limit, but a soft cap; like a number of references you should try to keep around?

@Voltin

Thinking of capping it at 3 or 4.

Suddenly realizing how quickly the categorization of Compendium Articles is going to get out of hand. I knew it was going to be tricky but if anyone has ideas on making it more efficient/user friendly let me know!

Edit:I think after everyone gets a round of Compendium Articles up, I'm going to put a limit on the number of references that can be made per article. Mostly for my sake. I don't think it will inhibit the RP in any way but if anyone objects that's ok too.

@Voltin Love the druids. Love the reference notes too-I should have thought of that! So were putting the druids in direct opposition of the Church of Ignaes. I wonder if the druids (Or the disappearance thereof) have anything to do with the Cataclysm? I'm sure some scholars have their own opinions...
