Funny for you to say that because my charry's dad come from an Elven country that borders Rostguard.

Well there we go!

Not really, it's probably a prominent trade city on King's road, serving as a hub for trade goods from Estermere and other smaller towns

Well that gives us stuff to work with. Yes, yes it does.

Well not much as of now really. Most of the stuff I wrote is how the construction of the King's Road came about and the close relations between the

Well, let's see. We have many Elven Villages bordering the wilds of this place. Why not have Farethas a predominately Elven nation?

Anyways its gone past 11pm here so I'm going to have to say goodnight. I look forward to reading stuff in the morning!

Good night.

I think in my character's background, I've mentioned the City of Arron as a prominent city relatively close to Estermere

Ah, did you mention anything else about the city? And it's a good thing to have cities close-by, stimulate trade and what all.

By all means, this isn't me and Proffesor_Wyvern's RP, if it was I'm sure we would both get rather bored

Oh yes, it would be rather dull if it was just that. But now then, Farethas... Let's see... anything you had in mind Vec?

Where do you think nobles come from? Noble blood but impoverished marries a rich merchantman's daughter. Noble gets money, merchant gets to live the rest of his life knowing his legacy shall be powerful

Ah yes, but if it continues for long enough, they may forget -how- they got that way, and only focus on the fact they are rather powerful. There is a difference between 'fresh' and 'old' nobles.

I'd say the Council would have 'Old Money' who've always known they were awesome because of something they did, but it also has (being infected by, as the Old Money would say) the 'New Money' who just got to that position. And that causes some internal bickering...

True and true, if the government is interested in mercantile and trade it is probably a council of nobles with an almost puppet king. When a country becomes a vassal it normally adopts the laws of its counterpart, so harsh punishments are likely

I imagine the council is bound to include some well off merchants, who know their trade.

The Fated Fallen said
Btw I am keeping notes on this, if anybody has any objections or ideas feel free to kick in

Of course, of course.

Well spotted, I forgot all about it. So Rostguard is a vassal to the militarist empire of Quirek. What do you think Rostguards government is like, and how bigger place do you think it is?

Well it has a port city, Fayport, so I imagine Rostguard itself is probably a fairly large nation. Alongside the other assorted smaller villages, and other prominent cities. As for the government, I imagine they are fairly concerned in mercantile interests. As for laws, if they are a vassal to the militarist empire, I imagine they are rather harsh in regards to disobedience of the laws. If they are mercantile, most of the harsher punishment would belong to thieves and other scoundrels who directly hurt the nation's trading. And perhaps fairly diplomatic to nations for trading, but with an eager eye to bring them down, if they can without too much harm to their economy.

well, according to Bing's information, we are in the world of Daiar, on the continent of Belar, in the country of Rostguard

Ah, so it is. So it is.

Part of me wants to be naughty and post IC to get some story progression going. I mean, bootlaces and buttonholes don't matter until you inspect them closely, right?

Well bootlaces and buttonholes are rather important as they help keep the shoe intact, and usable. Or something like that.

You aren't wrong sir, but what is our nation called? I feel this should be GM's call

Yes, that seems fair.

Well, they are a nation based on conquering, they probably focus heavily in mining, so they can forge new weapons, perhaps they also have quite a bit of jewels and salt at their disposal.
