Why are you wanting too kill everyone at Bloomingdale?

Also my main character, Enias, is going to be a bit stuck for a couple of posts in the madness plague plot I'm building, you are welcome to join in on that.

But to do what you said it would have to be my secondary character, Imrahl that you join.

This is shaping up to become very chaotic around my land- to the north battles/war at Balenoct and too the east wildmen plague and Quirkys' Kemper thing about to begin. Here comes the chaos!

to lam sam, i'd echo apocalypse....why do you want to kill everyone in Bloomingdale? keep in mind your characters don't know nearly as much as you do.

further...

Rodim takes over from there, and does shizzity.

Is that good or bad?

**Apoc** · November 8th, 2003

Incase anyone didn't notice, the retarted dwarf guy that my character Imrahl killed was lam sams other character Pudgil Phan Roy.

If you're referring to the character thread, everyone is responsible for updating their own character posts.

**lam sam** · November 8th, 2003

crap. not Bloomingdale, and they don't want to kill everyone in Balenoct either. Tyret's men attack Edindur (their ship) so they retreat without knowing who they are, only that they're noble's guards. They get a navy and attack Balenoct. Rodim is a mercenary, so when your character doesn't need him anymore, he leaves your plotline, going to Balenoct. At this time he has already semi-caught the plague, so he's pretty crazy (but not mad). Saeran's ships are trying to take down all royalty in Balenoct. And unless someone cares, they will, turning the peaceful Balenoct into a bloody mess.

**sir archely** · November 8th, 2003

The only problem with that, lam sam, is that there isn't any royalty in Balenoct. In addition, in the locations thread, i described Balenoct as having one of the more powerful naval forces in the area....at the very least it's not going to be a cake-walk.

**lam sam** · November 8th, 2003

ok. Not roayalty, but nobles/council members/ rich people with gaurds. Of course it's not going to be a walk in the park (cake-walk

), but they have a freakin huge navy. That's part of the mystery, how this dead man can evoke such a huge revolution. All the peasants join them even if they don't know who Saeran was.

**~KA3AK~** · November 8th, 2003

hmm, peasants against an a trained navy? They are going to be slaughtered.

**sir archely** · November 8th, 2003

okay, lam sam, your storyline confuses me. let me see if i got it right.

1. Saeran kills his brother, and is run out of town by his father and everyone else on the island.
2. Saeran goes to Balenoct to meet with "lord" tyret (even though balenoct has no real lords, nobility or what have you.)
3. Saeran kills tyret, and is in turn killed by Lypse's character.
4. Tyret's men attack Saeran's ship.
5. Then, what's left of Saeran's men "get a navy" and attack Balenoct.
6. For some reason, the 'peasants' of Balenoct side with Saeran (someone who probably means very little to them and is a foreigner, and despite the fact that he killed their own 'lord' tyret) and revolt.
7. The navy that Saeran's followers have rustled up, together with the peasants, defeats one of the more powerful naval forces in the land (or sea

).

I have a couple questions...
Where are Saeran's followers getting the navy? Certainly not from where they came from, since the whole reason Saeran went to Tyret in the first place is because he was run off after killing his own brother.

Why would the peasants, who already have a nice life going (Balenoct is rather prosperous, people are in good straits right now) rise up? I gather that it's a mystery, but how would they even know about it? And what makes them side with Saeran, given that he's already murdered one of their own citizens?

As a side note, council members aren't necessarily the richest merchants. They're just the eldest.

**Apoc** · November 8th, 2003

Yay, too chaos! lets get chaotic wooo!

Anyway, can someone who has a wizard do something with the sky, I was wanting to have it change but I have no means of changing it do that. I think the sky should be changed by someone doing something not have it change natuarlly, don't ya think?

Oh, and I had a small idea that would involve everybody I think. The balance of power thing in the profecy- maybe a king of one of the cities should try too unite everyone and make one kingdom while all the others think it should be them or something sparking a war of kings ala Song of Ice and Fire sorta, but not from the kings points of view but from our characters.
Say, my characters and lands declare for King of Neves, and in Bloomingdale from the princesses points of view there father should be rightful king and such, then in Ameloct and so on.

I set up my newest char., Cheltar, so he can have something to do with it....may not be quite what you'd expect though.

(though i do think either way is fine)

in Bloomingdale from the princesses points of view there father

I would advise against specifically involving Hinglebert (or whatever his name is, if i messed up, the king of Bloomingdale) in any sort of long term plot. If you know what i mean...wink wink, nudge nudge. I think it might be interesting to see how the place reacts if they don't know who the rightful heir is. Rather...chaotic, doncha think?

>cheer4chaos<

Yes, quite. Chaos, not quirkiness.

**Apoc** · November 8th, 2003

But do you not agree that a clash of kings would be a good plot going over all our characters heads. It would be interesting to see who sides with who. We could turn our land into a massive kingdom being fought for by four or five kings..

Also don't you think the land should be called something ie: Middle Earth, Westeros, Randland?

My suggestion- Aerenostle.

**sir archely** · November 8th, 2003

hmm....i'd vote for not calling it anything. maybe eventually, but not yet. i definitely don't think it should be something we just say, "blah", this is it. if anything it should grow out of the writing, given the number of people all adding to it. if something sticks, so be it.

**QuirkyTemplate** · November 8th, 2003

I really like the idea of someone trying to unify everyone in all this. The 'clash of kings' idea sounds interesting as well. I'm not too keen on naming the 'world' something though.
