Writing posts for this RP is an absolutely terrifying undertaking, here I find I have to put an extra special effort in or otherwise feel that they are inadequate.

@Gorbad, in response to my character's question, you could just make some stuff up about unrest in the land and examples of people wanting to fight or whatever you think .

[Sara Lee]

Writing up my first post now. Sorry it's a bit late.

BTW, it's extremely depressing when people like Vincent and aSaP complain about their posts being rubbish because when I read them, they're not rubbish at all, they're really [censored] good in fact. Depressing because probably means my posts are a constant monotony of droll

When I say my post is rubbish it means that I had a grand idea in my head but failed at properly getting it into words. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, I'd be a much better movie director or producer than writer.

I genuinely don't know whether Deric will go to this party ...

[Heather Dawson]

@Gorbad: Where'd you get the idea that the peasants of Northpoint were disgruntled?

[James Shaw]

@Gorbad: Where'd you get the idea that the peasants of Northpoint were disgruntled?

Oh but they are. High taxes and all that.

[Luis Reyma]

Eh ok ... maybe I didn't make it clear enough, the whole spiel about a possible peasant's revolt was meant to be a huge exaggeration on the part of that merchant in order to get Deric to lower taxes.

But it's cool, I'll run with it.

Everyone in this RP is too nice. Also, everyone is really good at writing. Like, seriously. If I'm writing any better than usual its because of you guys, every single one of you without exception has written something really good so far. Like...wow.

I know I can't match a lot of you guys for knowledge of feudalism, creation of great fluff, or even matters of plain, beautiful flowing prose. But god-dammit I'm going to make Evermore the most vividly realised Kingdom in High Rock, and the one everyone would want to visit the most.

Raurich sounds like he could have some anti-fun with Bridwell while Camaron... 'chats up' the Queen of Evermore, hooooo

Oh god, this! I already had something planned for them actually. Just one tender moment, they catch each-other's eyes as their sovereigns are starting to be..themselves, and in a single look countless years of ordeal are communicated. They'd be friends without even saying a word.

I'm sure we could think of something more though. Part of the idea behind my last post was to show how the relationship between Syllawen and Raurich functioned, and how it was different from Camaron and Bridwell's. Not sure how much of that came off.

I genuinely don't know whether Deric will go to this party ...

Probably someone would be sent from the Court of Northpoint. The idea of the Festival of Peace, is that it was set up after the events of Daggerfall (by the Septim Empire) to bring all the remaining kingdoms of High Rock together, and keep them from, um, going to war again. Which obviously has failed already, but it is still a pretty major event on the calender. I think Northpoint and Evermore were traditional rivals, but they both took part in the defeat of Shornhelm more recently.

Elissa can go in Deric's place.

[Aman Bhattal]

Oh god, I just read Erasmos' post Forget what I said about Evermore being the most realised kingdom. I bloody love this RP already, every time I post I feel like I am catching up, quality wise. That was really something wonderful, Erasmos.

[lacy lake]

Elissa can go in Deric's place.

Yes that had crossed my mind ... Deric could send Elissa. Then again, Deric might think it useful to go himself - with Elissa - and use the situation to do a bit of politicking.

Also, has it occurred to anyone that this could be a great opportunity to take out all potential political rivals? I'm sure Deric's considering it ....

[rheanna bruining]

Red Wedding, Red Wedding, I smell a Red Wedding.

Making a post for the queen of Daggerfall (with the king also sticking his nose in). Hopefully she won't come off as too much of a colourless fuzzball, you lot are making me paranoid about my writery. >.>

Also, now that I've read it thoroughly... Erasmos, dat post. So deliciously sad.

That's why Senhyn isn't going

[Kahli St Dennis]

Queen Syllawen isn't actually completely careless (yes, not completely). A large part of the expense of this festival is making Castle Evermore pretty much the most secure place in Tamriel during the festival. Or at least that's the idea.

The best chance to take out a rival would actually be during the tourney..

[Alex Blacke]

Hmm, that was a very interesting point of view for that post Broken Scale. Definitely different from the ordinary. However I felt like it kind of flowed roughly with the 1st person present tense. I couldn't help but re-read it and give it a 1st person past tense sound, which I felt flowed better.

Great post though! It's going to be interesting when Astien meets Elisa

[SUck MYdIck]

Maybe her father wants to send Lorundil with her? as some sort of protection I'm not sure if I want him to go but you can always give him the option

[Taylrea Teodor]

I really do need to write my post for Alric before the festival begins.. it'll have to wait till tomorrow though.

[Allison C]

Great post PFA. :thumpsup:

I wonder what it's going to be like when Kelmena runs into her older brother at the party

[mishionary]

I think we have a few days before the festival itself starts. I want to write at least one post about Evermore itself, and everyone also can have the chance of writing a post on their character's journey, I guess.

PFA, that was suitably awesome. This is what I am talking about.


Also, a new character sheet coming up soon

[Mandi Norton]

Here's the sheet for the Admiral of Northpoint.

Spoiler

Name: Rendon Swift
Title: Head Admiral of the Royal Navy of Northpoint
Age: 42
Race: Breton
Gender: Male

Appearance: Swift’s most noticeable feature is his large and distinctive handlebar mustache. Swift takes great pride in his mustache (claiming that he hasn’t shaved it since he was in his teens), and can frequently be found combing it with a small comb when he thinks no one is looking. Other than that, however, Swift is average looking. A tall man, standing at 6’2”, Swift has a lanky frame, though he is beginning to put on weight as he grows older. He has a very defined chin and jawline, and brown hair that is starting to grey on the sides.

Skills: Swift’s most notable talent is the ability to inspire incredible loyalty from his men. A skilled leader, Swift tries his best to treat every one of his men like he would his children (fitting, considering that he calls his ship, The Marianne, his true wife). He rarely asks anything of his men that he wouldn’t do himself, and is known to eschew sleeping in separate quarters like many other captains do in favor of being amongst his men. Swift, having spent the majority of his life of ships, is very knowledgeable of how to run one. Finally, Swift is a trained fencer, though he rarely gets to put said training into practice.

Equipment (Weapons, armor, misc.): While in court, Swift is easily recognizable by his bright red coat, covered in golden tassels and black and gold epaulettes. He completes this outfit with white trousers and black leather boots. However, Swift often expresses distaste for this outfit, and, when actually out sailing, wears more practical and mundane clothes, more similar to those worn by his crew. Sift also carries an elegant rapier on his waist, and also a simple knife when actually out sailing.

Background: Swift was the son of a high-ranking noble in Northpoint, and so had a childhood familiarity with the royal family. Always fond of sailing, Swift would often leave for months at a time to go sailing around High Rock and Skyrim. However, Swift was always patriotic, and so used his prized ship, The Marianne, to harass Shornhelm’s coastlines as a privateer during the war between that kingdom and Northpoint. Shortly after, Swift became famous within Northpoint by sailing personally with the King to defeat the pirates and reavers that were attacking Northpoint’s coasts. Forming a strong friendship with King Daric, Swift played a large role in the complete rout of the seafaring bandits, and was named the Head Admiral of Northpoint’s Royal Navy that was formed afterwards. In his tenure as the Head Admiral, the Royal Navy has become one of the most prestigious and well-disciplined in Tamriel, though it is still substantially smaller than other kingdoms.

So guys and gals, how was the post?

[koumba]

I've spoken to you on MSN about that, but, yeah. That post doesn't really make any sense at all. The imagery in it is powerful and it's a good post, but it goes against everything in the character of Elysana, and her relationship with Syllawen, unless she is going insane and acting in the precise opposite way that makes logical sense. In which case..yeah.

Just throwing it out there that, that thing should probably/is gonna get revised. The tone was good but the content goes against what I've been writing towards all along. A abit of a communication breakdown in the Wayrestian alliance between me and Wooly. My bad

[Lizzie]

I should have her brain degenerate and she'll just go crazy through the whole RP.
