Edit: Could I have some background info dumps on the Cli-tsu and/or the Flood incident that happened some time ago (so far I only seen it used referentially)? The incident gives me Warhammer universe Chaos-like vibes.

The Cli-tsu are a race that normally stay hidden and not much more should be known of them unless a person was planning on playing them as a main character. If they were an NPC or follower then they are an Exile who would be treated no differently then some random monster in the world at large.
As for the Flood.. The Cylic Empire was the first Human nation, having arisen in the area that is now the Savage Lands and spreading across the North Western lands. They were able to do this because their first leader discovered powerful magical artifacts from ruins sprinkled across the land which appeared to have been created by some long dead race; the same race that appears to have originally lived in the Crimson South and was the source of the ruins there. Who this race was is not important right now as much as the Cylic Empire itself as it was from this country's heart that The Flood first appeared. Appearing as if from no where, thousands of strange creatures appeared and began to lay ruin to the Empire, causing it's citizens to flee in all directions which facilitated the wide spread existence of humans in the modern day. These monsters, later called 'Children of Sin' because it is believed that the Sins were the ones to send them and because the creatures appear to worship them, would continue to spread, relentlessly attacking any humans they could find. It was only through the courageous efforts of those that would later found their own kingdoms that humanity survived. However, eventually 'The Flood' began to recede, it's constant breaking against the defenses of humanity like waves on a shore finally falling silent. The Flood had finally retreated back to the Heart of the old Empire but those lands would forever be overrun by these monsters. Many speculated over what had caused the Flood but it was only when the Kingdom of Hommanden lowered the magical shields that it had used to protect itself from the Flood that the truth was discovered. You see, the Cylic Empire had exiled the wizards of Hommanden because they had refused, even argued against, a practice the Empire had begun to toy with; the transformation of non-human races into creatures that would serve the Empire. This was corroborated when explorers were able to discover a facility within the Savage Lands where such experiments might have occurred. Creatures like Goblins and Hobgoblins were once primitive races which the Empires experiments had transformed into savage monsters. Although there are still those that don't believe all of this, claiming plots by spiteful wizards to tarnish the great name of the old Empire, the fact still remains that the Children of Sin continue to prowl the Savage Wastes, growing in numbers as if they were awaiting something.

Beginning Application:
TODO: Fill in names for the places in Brackets, NPC contacts, Equipment Notes: Might change some of the descriptions and pictures pending finalization of class decisions. Also might look into smuggling but will start with tavern owner and revenge seeker. Last edited by SSlotts; Apr 11th, 2019 at 02:42 PM. |

I'm working on my backstory and am planning on using Corrallu. Could you provide the name of the mountains and river and potentially any major cities in that region? Would it also be possible to provide more information on Goblins or other 'Children of Sin' as I'm hoping to have them attack his home to provide the reason for joining the Maw.

Ok still here. I will post app when I have everything done.
I combined a waterfront/monastary/mansion type of building. So I will need to look at the map to determine where on the docks it will be residing. Main goal of my box teams will be fishing and fishboat building. I see the costs of teams but is there a daily rate associated with them? I think with my followers I want to have them explore the various islands for any precious metals mining opertunities. So the islands with the abandon villages are their maps for them? Maps, for all the islands, for sale? Is their a possibility of getting a mining operation going?

Sslots: Currently I have little in the way of details for Corrallu. If you have suggestion for names and the like please feel free to suggest them. If possible try to use Spanish Based ones since that is what the area is predominantly based on. As for monsters in the area the 'Children of Sin' would not be the main ones in the area, Lizardmen would be. Although most of their kind stick to their Empire of Blood in the south there are times when raiding parties will travel to find additional hunting grounds in swampy areas.
Most Lizardmen would be as they are in normal games but the ones who have created the Empire are slightly different. Although they still have the normal types as well these are considered the bottom of the Empire's hierarchy. It is only those who have been dumped into their Blood Pools and survived who are considered worthy of more respect. Within the pools these creatures are mutated into other forms and shapes but always with a reptilian focus. Some become like giant walking crocodiles while others (those who appear to lead the others) are like feathered serpents. If this sounds interesting I can work on it a bit more for you. @ Kshnik: I'll be creating the map after I know who needs what and where. Normal Teams cost nothing for upkeep but Followers will need feeding. No maps yet but they will become available after exploring and mining operations will be possible. You just have to look for them. |

Tale you just had to go and do this. If I had a computer on the farm this would be easier but phone it is and app incoming for the downtrodden.

Just like to update what I have gotten done with the Black Jackals so far. I've bought them a ship, finished Prak and Druse's sheets, and made a handy dandy chart about my purchases. Now time to equip followers, and see if we can afford any cool magic items!

Big update on my post on Page 4. A question or two for you,Taleteller50. This game has created lots of fun just trying to come up with the application for which thanks.

I second that- even if I don't get accepted this will be well worth the time!

Agreed, this is really fun. Coming up with not only a character and cohort that fit a setting like this but a guild/business group as well gives this game a lot more of an edge. The balancing act, and seeing who can stay balanced is going to be interesting

I look forward to seeing what trouble I can get into as evil pirates. It is quite exciting seeing what a vast army of hirelings can or will do. Nearing completion, have all but about 7k gold squared away.

Just remember that you won't have direct control over your followers unless one of them is the primary character you plan on acting with in lue of the Faction Leader. Followers are to be gathered into Teams for downtime (rounding up in the case you have only 3 or 4 lv. 1's left for what usually needs a 5 person team) and used in connection to your Leader and Cohort's actions.
The Lv 4 and up Followers will of course play bigger rolls as Managers but even they will only be put in charge of businesses for the course of the week to produce Gold or Capital for your faction. This will be a little different in mass combat like ship to ship combat where these 'mid' level characters might play a slightly larger role but as they are all restricted to NPC classes like Adept and Warrior that will also be more on the minor side. I do however appreciate everyone's vote of confidence in all of this and I hope I can live up to your expectations. Don't forget about NPC Contacts which, although not required, have the potential of making your faction more influential in direct collation to how much you are willing to create/write. |
