    Default OOC Wars of Succession [M]

    Link to IC https://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74768

    Emain
    The land of Emain is in turmoil. The king of Adiliwyr has been assassinated, and the leaders in his court fight for the rights of the throne. This climate of political instability has given way for many to gain claim for the throne. Chieftains from the Northern mountains, Foreigners from the Eastern dunes, and Warlords from within the country all fight for a chance to gain untold riches. There is only war left in this once peaceful land, and you can determine how it shall become.

    Kingdom of Adiliwyr

    [img]https://newevolutiondesigns.com/images/tutorials/create-a-fantasy-city-using-architectural-photographs.jpg[/img ]
    Adiliwyr is an enormous country covered in woodlands and has a stormy climate. The country's landscape has been made unsightly by the fighting; black, decaying trees, and dangerous mountains makes the country an evaded destination among travelers. The previous king Friav Quinvonius was a just man. He alone collected all the minor lords of the land and united them under one banner. Now that he is dead the minor lords quarrel relentlessly and the introduction of foreign elements only drags these quarrels out.

    Alliances

    There are a few different factions within the game that are all fighting for the throne. These include…

    Foreign
    The Nordic Republics
    The Soinian Sultanate

    Domestic
    Count Frond Rieton
    Lord Madlynver
    Prince Esdori Quinvonius
    Warlord Tiberiu Augustus

    The Nordic Republics


    The Nordic Republics is a collection of tribes that banded together to repel the many advances the kingdom of Adiliwyr made to conquer the north. Aided by the harsh mountains the Nords were easily able to push the Adili back, but never able to beat the Adili in the flat lands. So the Nordic Republics was at a constant stalemate with the Adiliwyr. This all changed with the death of the king. The Republic conveined and agreed that a group of huscarls and warriors under the command of a chieftain would go to claim stake on the throne. The group was attacked and the chieftain killed. This in the eyes of the Republic was a unforgiveable act, and now day by day the Nords ready for a epic offensive.

    The Soinian Sultanate


    The Soinian Sultanate is a kingdom located east of Adiliwyr. Its dry arid landscapes offer little mercy for most people. The hardened people of Soinia are merchants at heart. They trade all over Emain, from the western shores that he elves call home to the black isle of the orcs. The sultanate cares much about its wealth, and nothing brings more wealth than war. The sultanate cares little about the throne but everything about the profit. Groups of soldiers accompanied by caravans travel all through out the Kingdom of Adiliwyr selling weapons, armor, and the soldiers services for a certain amount of time. After the date is reached they return to Soinia and cash out.

    Count Frond Rieton

    [HIDE][/HIDE]
    [/HTML][/HIDE]Count Rieton is a rich general from the south of Adiliwyr. He was once one of the kings most trusted advisors, now he is thought to be the main suspect in the assassination of the king. Rieton employs a well maintained force of mounted knights and spearmen. He is a well versed tactician and a good swordsman himself. His claim to the throne is simple, he feels he knows what's best for the kingdom. His army has taken the most land in the kingdom so far. However the Warlord Tiberiu has been slowly weakening his holdings in the south.

    Lord Madlynver


    Lord Madlynver is the son of a impoverished noble who under the court of the old king became a rich man. His father determined to make as much as he could from the situation sent him to a school in the west. He had been in school for many of the events leading up to the assassination. But when the king was killed his fathers money had ran out and he came home. Madlynver claim is this, he longs to regain the riches that were unjustly taken from his family and the middle class. Justly so he has assembled all the middle class into a formidable fighting force. He employs many spearmen, and archers. What he lacks in organized and heavy infantry he makes up in numbers. His soldiers control the whole eastern portion of the kingdom. He has recently been employing the help of the Sultainate.

    Prince Esdori Quinvonius

    The prince had been fighting the Nords in the north when news of his fathers death reached him. He took his army and immediately returned to the kingdom to stabilize the situation. When he returned it was to late fighting had broken out and leaders chose their sides. The prince wants to regain control of his kingdom, and also force the invaders from his boarders. He has the largest Army of mounted knights, spearmen, archers and men at arms. He control the capital and with it the only legitimate claim to the throne.

    Warlord Tiberiu Augustus


    Nothing more than just a opportunist the Warlord was a criminal, operating in the shadows with thugs before the assassination After however he saw the need for soldiers and killing, so he became a mercenary, then the leader of a band of mercenaries. Finally he realized that even he had a chance at taking the throne and decided to attack some minor lords and take their holdings. He employs light Calvary, and some men at arms. Although his armies lack numbers the soldiers within them are battle hardened veterans. His claim to the throne is just a lust for money and power.

    I'd say stick to matchlock since they were a little less predictable and were easier to produce than wheelock muskets and pistols were.

    So I noticed Orcs in the errata of the OP. Does this mean there are alternate races like elves, hafflings, gnomes, etc and if so is there a limited form of magic. ie some magic speeds up healing or helps produce a flame.
    If not I'd understand since the fastest way to break a character is to make them capable of using magic, the second fastest being giving them any sort of firearm and the third make them a cleric.

    Bad jokes aside what are the exact limitations and lines that we as players cannot cross and should never cross?

    well, if we have rifles and muskets (and actually, if a musket was well-made, it was very effective, it only fucked up if the user was an idiot)

    we have cannons, right? And Volley Guns?



    I also notice that you left out some very important weapons such as Crossbows and Halberds. Is it safe to assume that they exist as well?
