| Prominence 2 |
[[OOC: If you don't defect, you can't be given a Kingdom. There is no way you can advance in the world, and thus the RP can't end. It's part of Prominence, sorry, both Charley and I did the same thing in the last one. In the last one, several NPC dukes also defected, so I guess I'd better do that...]]
After Cidel declared independence, several other Dukes follow his example and do the same thing. In the end, twelve duchies defect, not including Cidel. Since Delran has turned from an ally to an enemy, Septim stops sending ores to him and stops receiving horses.
[[OOC: Pretend you never defected. I still crush the force that tries to take back Cidel though, but you are still a Duke even though you have 36 PP points...]]
|
[New page! So long, annoying bug! Anyway, Septim, I'm not going to go to another continent, evidently that would be a bad career move...and I'm NOT getting executed.]
|
[OOC: I am not your enemy, you just didn't told me about this and caught me without knowing a thing. So, I am defecting too.]
|
[[OOC: Good choice, without defecting, you'd never be a King...:-(. We are still trading then. :-D. And being a Ringleader is fine, you'll need to disguise yourself like an evil version of the Count of Monte Christo though. XD.]]
|
[[The nobility is looking for a renegade duke...nobility have a tendency to ignore what looks to be a peasant. I should be fine...but I'll grow a beard to be on the safe side. XD]]
|
[[OOC: XD
"Hey! You look like the guy in the poster!"
"That is a different man, you see...I have a beard..."
"Ahhhh! You're right, you'd look the same without the beard..."
"Hmph...weird..."
"Well, good day, sorry about the confusion!"]]
|
[[Well, I'm not gonna wear a freaking mask if that's what your intoning. And, if anyone does discover who I am, I'll just make them disappear before they reveal it to anyone...]]

Following his friend Septim example, Delran declares the independence of Kharos. Some dukes also join him as he is a brilliant tactician and fighter, as well as a good administrator. He imediately names the new born country Andoria, with Kharos as the capital city. He sends word to King Septim to form an alliance against Serillia.
The armies sent against him by Garon are destroyed or join him due to his reputation. Now, Delran is preparing to lauch an assault against Seris and informs Septim about it.

[[Now you guys don't like Serillia..is your country no longer hating me? I could move in as a duke, you saw how I managed to bring an entire country to go to war...I'm too powerful for you to risk enemizing...is enemizing a word? energizing, feminizing, generalizing...nope.
Never mind, you probably think I'm dead anyway. Your probably saying, "What happened to that crazy duke?""What duke?""The one that gave that big speech about famine,""Oh I think he's dead."
Anyway, the point of that post was: If you found out I was alive, would you still hate me?]]

[OOC: We will see. My agents are trying to find out what happened to you. >:-)]

[[OOC: We are enemies with Serillia due to their hostility after we declared independence. Also: Delran, you have 10,000 men that you don't need to pay for, if you have any more, you must pay upkeep (Check the upkeep list in the first post). I did hate you after you gave support to Harak instead of Serillius, but after defecting myself, I no longer hate you. (I'd be a hypocite otherwise). That doesn't mean that I'll give you the title of Duke, I don't exactly trust a man who robbed innocent traders on the road, though I have no interest in capturing you unless you rob my citizens. We currently have the equal to three Duchies under out control each. By the way, Delran, no having people defect to your side, train your own men!]]

[OOC: I have nothing with you now due to improvements in loyalty and having defeating you. Should you do any crimes in my kingdom, I will hunt you. I may give you a position as Chief of my agents, but cross me and you will hang. There will be no way of escaping if you accept, you betray and die.]

[[Demonsul, I need a good right hand man, want to come over here to Erenia and become mayor of my town=P?]]
Artiul was astonished at what happened in Serillia, Duke Demonsul was thrown out, and then there was a civil war in Serillia with two new kingdoms arising. He watched with interest, but soon his services where needed. After showing cunning and great streangth as a leader he became a General, but soon after that King Golovo IV saw that Artiul was not only a great General, but was also a forward thinking kind of person. So he put him as leader of the town of Alvarez.

Delran looked at the map. It seemed unreal. There it was, his kingdom. In only a few years, he the son of an impoverished noble had managed to make himself the ruler of a country. He made a Code of Laws for his kingdom and introduced military service. All citizens above the age of 18 would receive basic military training and in times of war they could be called to serve in the army. This gave Delran an edge in the upcoming battles.

two months. He and his group had grown to be close friends, and they

[[OOC: I guess I'd better make an ordinance list for your kingdoms. You can't give people military service without paying for it. XD
Training for All! - 50,000 gold a RL day; makes your Kingdom nearly invincible due to the full male population being trained soldiers. (Costs a lot to train a man in the art of combat...it ain't free Delran. XD)
Free food for the needy - 10,000 gold a RL day. Improves morale by one point every day.
The Arena - 10,000 gold a day for a RL week, then you gain an extra 20,000 gold a day afterwards. - It takes seven RL days (fourteen months) to build this majestic place of entertainment and combat, but after the fourteen months you will be rewarded heavily.
Great Wall - 75,000 gold a day for two weeks (28 months) to build this gigantic defensive structure, once built, it'll work as a great defensive structure for your Kingdom. After it is built, it requires 10,000 gold a RL day to maintain.
Wall ladders - For the one time cost of 50,000 gold (and a helluvalota trees), you can attack somebody with a great wall!
Free schooling - 50,000 gold a day. Makes everybody in your kingdom a journeyman in reading and mathematics. If you halt schooling, everybody will magically forget. (I don't want to make this too complicated...XD)
University - 10,000 gold a RL day until built, then you receive 20,000 gold a day after that in tuition costs. (Woot...I guess...)
High taxes - an extra 20,000 gold a day for you, makes morale go down drastically, a revolution might occur. :-O
Also introducing morale. Some of these can increase morale, some can decrease it. All the Kings, Dukes, Counts and Lords'll start out with high morale. :-)
The Great Wall and Free Training For all work about the same, you'll be tough to conquer. Wall ladders'll counter your great wall bonus...a cr@pload of troops will counter the free training for all bonus, deal with it. XD ]]

[OOC: The new kingdoms, how many troops do they have? Can't be 100.000 as you only have 10k and I have 18k.
Will deal with it! ;-)]
|
[[OOC: The new kingdoms have about 10k each, they were all Duchies before, like us, and they have the same amount as Duchies, most of their Generals are experts at tactics, if you try to attack one though, you'd better expect more than their surrender. Those guys are small, but they're all allied, the big Empires aren't really allies, if one gets invaded, they won't do much. So if you attack a small nation, have enough men to take down around ten of 'em. If you want one, you need to take 'em all. :-)]]

[OOC: Ok. Now post about you!]

[[OOC: Why's everybody want me to post so bad? o_O
Also, if you go to war for three days (six months) in a row, your morale goes down a level. :-)]]
Septim, deciding that Cidel's people would need a form of entertainment, begins the construction of the Cidel Arena, where suicidal gladiators would fight to the death. He also began construction for the Cidel University, it would be completed in fourteen months. Afterwards, he administrated his Kingdom, and eventually received an envoy from a minor King named Corvis Colvaine.
King Validus Septim,
Greetings, your majesty, I am King Corvis Colvaine of Xalan. I would like an alliance, and I ask that you come to my palace for a formal dinner. If you feel safer at your castle, I understand, we can have it there.
Signed,
King Corvis Colvaine
King of Xalan
Septim sent a reply letter, and a week later, Colvaine was in his castle.
"Greetings my friend, it is good to finally meet in person!" said Colvaine with a grin. He was a man of around forty-five, his hair was going gray, but he was still quiet useful.
"Greetings to you, King Colvaine, to what do I owe this pleasure?" said Validus.
"I have come to discuss an alliance, as I said in my letter. I brought with me my wife, Erina, and my daughter, Alessia," said Colvaine.
Erina soon walked in with her daughter, Alessia. Validus was suddenly struck like a thunderbolt, it seemed as if Alessia was the same.
"Come, let us discuss the alliance, then we can have dinner," said Validus, managing to keep his cool.
Validus led Colvaine into a sitting room and they both sat down.
"What do you have in mind?" asked Validus.
"A military alliance against the other minor Kingdoms, I may ask King Silveur for the same agreement," said Colvaine, "Our infantry is the best out of the minor kingdoms, and our archers are renowned."
"Colvaine, I would like nothing more than peace...shall we have dinner?" asked Validus.
"Great, we can draw up the peace treaty...next week?" asked Colvaine.
"Yes yes," said Validus, trying to speed up the conversation in order to lay his eyes on Alessia again.
The rest of the dinner went well, with Validus liking Alessia more and more as he conversed with her. After the dinner, the Colvaines left, and Validus leaned against a wall.
"Good Lord," muttered Validus.
"In love, sir?" asked Jeeves as he entered the room.
"What?" asked Validus.
"You were watching her through the whole dinner, she probably noticed," said Jeeves.
"How the hell do I ask a woman that beautiful to marry me?" asked Validus.
"I suggest that you get to know her first sir," said Jeeves.
"Yes, you're right, thanks Jeeves," said Validus.
"Always at your service sir," said Jeeves.
The rest of the month consisted of Validus visiting Xalan and administrating his Kingdom. He quickly got to know Alessia, and once he did, he liked her even more.

[[OOC: I was giving you the option to type his coming and your discussion...if you don't want to, I'll type for Colvaine...]]
Over the next two months, Septim sees Alessia more and more. With each passing day, they love each other even more. By the end of the two months, Septim, who had fought in the thick of some of the biggest wars in the continent's history, and had looked death in the eyes numerous times, finally worked up the courage to ask her. With a magnificent wedding ring in his pocket, he visited Corvis Colvaine's home. Colvaine was on his throne, and Septim walked down the long carpet to it.
"Validus! What are you doing here?" asked Corvis.
"I have come to ask permission, permission to marry your daughter," said Validus.
"Marry my daughter? Well...of course you can!" said Corvis, "Have you seen the way she looks at you? And I've noticed the way you've looked at her...it's perfect!"
"Thank you, your majesty," said Septim before turning, he walked straight to Alessia's quarters, where she was on her bed reading a book. She looked up, startled at the intruder, but saw that it was Validus.
"Validus? What are you...what are you doing here?" asked Alessia.
Septim said nothing as he quickly walked up, knelt, and held out the ring.
"Alessia Colvaine...will you marry me?" asked Septim.
"Have you asked my father?" asked Alessia with a blush.
"Of course," said Validus.
"Then yes!" said Alessia before hugging Validus. They kissed, and Validus stood up. During that night, they began planning the wedding.

[OOC: Type it. If I do it I am afraid I will godmod it a little and I do not like it. Besides, I stink at NPC dialogues.
Also respond to my other question posted bellow my last post.
And send me an invitation! Will gladly come to see you wed, although it seems quite early and you are both young. It will never work! >:-D ]

[[Heh, I might even drop in...you never know, we've always been on opposite sides of the board, but I might go there for business reasons...not against you of course, but against your richer guests. You can't have a poor guy like me starve, can you?]]
Demonsul looked round the clearing. Here, he was sitting on Bane, his group at his side, waiting for the big moment. The Duke's tax collectors would be riding past today, and then, well, Demonsul could just do his job. They were waiting in the middle of the muddied road, when the carriage came rushing forward before skidding to a halt as Richard brandished is hammer. Brian quickly put up a magic barrier around the clearing so that the tax collectors could not escape (with a massive 'Muahahahahaah!' to punctuate it's final touches). Meanwhile, Demonsul drew his notched blade, still bearing the forgotten insignia of Bazun, got off Bane and advanced on the carriage.
The tax collectors saw this and gave up. Throwing a heavy box out of the carriage with a clink, they drove towards the edge of the clearing at full speed. The carriage was incinerated when it made contact with the barrier, leaving only untouched metal axles and a gold tooth. One of the wheels rolled away on fire, before slowly coming to a stop in front of Kerrigan. Brian put down the barrier with an echoing laugh.
Prising open the box, Demonsul froze. It was full of chunks of misshaped metal! Once again, a fruitless venture. The real tax collectors were probably not taking this road. But why bother with a decoy? Suddenly Demonsul realized.
He managed to shout out as the soldiers poured into the clearing. Spinning with his sword, he managed to cut up many of te soldiers in a matter of seconds, but there were many more. He felt an arrow riochet off of his armor, leaving a small dent. Brian threw a fireball that burnt the archer to ash. However, Demonsul was forced to hack his way through the crowd to aid Kerrigan, who was being overrun by so many soldiers it was uncountable. Skirting round a corpse that had been pulverised by Richard's hammer. Several more had Jake's throwing axes protruding from their skulls. Many had been impaled by Demonsul himself. And although Kerrigan was in trouble, she had a sizeable sea of bodies around her already. She had lost her longsword in the battle and was working ferociously with her knife. Demonsul joined her in her ring of corpses, hacking with his notched longsword at all the soldiers.
Before long all the soldiers were either dead or running. Jake threw a few axes, and then someof the running ones became dead as well. Demonsul wiped the sweat off of his forehead, and looked at his group. Nothing more than a few scratches, Michel should be able to manage. He decided that tavern tipoffs were never a good idea, even if it was a drunken member of the king's court giving you the details.

[[Can I do something like an Epic Heist soon? I don't see myself taking up ducal positions anywhere anymore, so I guess my only hope is to amass PP until I can found a kingdom.]]
|
[[OOC: Alright, I'll just do the wedding now. You guys can speak of the alliance at the wedding...Demonsul, eat all you want, between Cidel and Andoria, we have enough food to feed three armies. XD. And as long as the epic heist isn't against a player, go ahead. Serillia looks like a good target. XD]]
The wedding soon took place. Validus Septim and Alessia Colvaine were married an a ceremony in the courtyard at Cidel. Alessia's father, Corvis, and her mother, Erina, were there of course. There were also several other people, including all of the three Cidellian Dukes, several noblemen from Xalan and Andoria, most of the Lords and Counts of Cidel, and King Resdyn of Restar. Alessia knew of the deaths of Tiber and Ava Septim, Validus's parents. Validus hadn't had a family in almost ten years, it was a good feeling for him. He was wearing the grand formal robes of Cidel, which were white with gold lining. Septim soon got up and began visiting with the guests. He spoke with King Resdyn for a while, then spoke with his new father-in-law and mother-in-law. After that, he felt hungry, so he walked towards the buffet table..
***
During the wedding, King Colvaine approached Delran.
"Greetings King Silveur!" said Colvaine, "I am Alessia's father, King Colvaine, and I have come with an offer: an alliance against the other Kingdoms. I have allied myself with Cidel, Restar, and now I am going to ally myself with you."
***
As he grabbed food at the table, Septim noticed a man grabbing quite a bit of food. Septim recognized him almost right away, despite the beard and the weight loss.
"Why, hello there Demonsul," said Validus, "Don't worry, I hold no grudge against you. I have nothing against you personally anymore, as I have no ties with Serillia. What are you doing here?"
|
Delran was enjoying the wedding when King Colvaine approached him.
"Greetings to you too, King Colvaine. I am pleased to meet you. And a nice offer it is. I can't do anything more but to accept. Shall we discuss the details now over a glass of this fine Cidelian wine?"
|
[[OOC: Since our Kingdoms are bigger than the minor kingdoms and about half as big as Serillia was before the war, we have around fifty thousand men in our army each by default. We can add more later. This is what you get for conquering each Empire.]]
"Of course, my new ally," said Colvaine as he sat down.
He poured himself a glass and sat back.
"Each kingdom has around ten thousand men. Yours and Septims however have fifty thousand due to the size of your Kingdoms. You two are also very honorable, I know you will not break our agreement. All I ask is that when your position grows, you do not try to invade my country. In return, I will give you an extra five thousand troops when you want them, agreed?" asked Colvaine.
[[OOC: That means that when you are attacking, you get five thousand more troops from Colvaine. I will explain attacking and defending tomorrow.]]
|
Demonsul started at the use of his name. "Septim! What a surprise to see you at your own wedding. I'm glad that we got to meet, it's certainly been a while...Wherever I go, I always hear about 'that double crossing diplomatic person', and I recently got into a bit of trouble. It would probably be best if the people here heard you calling me Harold. Ah, where are my manners, how are you?"
|
[[OOC: Just letting you guys know that Validus is sort of crazy. Not "wabawaba" crazy, but like...bipolar crazy. One moment he has extreme disgust in highwaymen, the other he winks at them. In both states, though, he is kind and loving to his wife. I love being somewhat insane...makes the game interesting. XD]]
"I am doing quite well, Harold. Being under that fool Serillius was getting on my nerves. Harak, of course, would've been worse. I picked the lesser of two evils. How are you? Still...visiting...travellers on the road," said Septim with a wink.
|
"Agreed!" said Delran to Colvaine while drinking from his glass. "And now please excuse me for a few minutes. I have to speak with someone."
Delran left Colvaine and headed for Septim and "Harold".
"Hello there "Harold"? How are you?" said Delran tapping Demonsul friendly on his shoulder. "You know......here you are very well protected and you do not have to fear anyone! Now what have you bee doing up till now?"
|
"A bit of this, a bit of that...I recently tried to take a few royal earnings, but fell for a trap...you haven't met my companions have you?" Demonsul turns, and introduces his group. They each nod in respect.
"So, which one are we going to rob?" whispers Brian to Demonsul with a maniacal cackle.
"Neither of them! It's Septim's wedding, and Delran seems to be at peace with me for now...its odd, both of these people used to hate me." Demonsul turned back to Septim and Delran. "I'm sorry about him, he's a bit obsessed with the work we do..."
|
"Never hated you, just...disagreed with your views. A real tactician would have provoked Kerait into attacking him, then attacked them back. Then you would be the defenders," said Septim, "And we would've helped you..."
|
"Sadly, I had even greater tactics in mind...those 'famines' I foretold, I was going to cause...but the stupid old king of Ulen decided a full-frontal assault would be better. Look where it got him."
|
"Well, that is too bad for you. Really! That is the disadvantage of having insane leaders. Should you ever need a recomandation, search for me."
|
Septim returned to his normal self a few moments later.
"Famine? Are you insane! That'd kill a great many people, just for your own desires!" said Septim, "Provoking them would be a sure way of getting people on your side, as long as they don't know you're provoking them..."
|
"That famine would have touched us! Not with Cidel and the old Kharos, now Andoria helping Serillia and whatever countries paid for food. So rest assured, you plan failed earlier to not fail later with disastruous consequences."
|
"I was not worried about Serillia, I was worried about the people outside our borders," muttered Validus.
Alessia soon walked up.
"Hello," said Alessia.
"Hello Alessia," said Validus, his mood brightening, "These are King Delran and the other man is Harold..."
"Dolron," said Demonsul. (Sorry, didn't want to end this post so soon because of the need for a last name...)
"Pleased to meet you, Mr. Dolron, I am Alessia," said Alessia.
After a short conversation, Validus and Alessia left the conversation...
|
Delran returned to King Colvaine and resumed their conversation about treaties, war, peace, trade and everything related to ruling a country.
|
When anyone turned to look for them later, Demonsul and his group had left unnoticed.
|
[[I have created a Generals Guild, where young men are trained (duh=P) to be masters in tactics and to be fine fighters as well. Is there a chance that I can hire out some of these people to Kings/Emporers? Also can I make another Guild (Guild of Fighters or something of that sort) that is not connected to my current one?]]
Even though Artiul wasn't officially invited to King Validus' wedding he still came. He knew that sooner or later that he would need to make friends in powerful places, and what better time then to begin now? He met both King Golovo IV and Emporer Tyranis V, even though Artiul isn't the best of speakes in the world his knowledge of tactics and fighting impressed both of these men, it even impressed them enough to hire some of the Generals Artiul was training.
During those two months Artiul worked hard on his city, the city prospered and grew. Artiul decided that his Generals needed protection, so he formed the Guild of the Immortals. The people who join this Guild will be taught how to fight, and will be able to take odds of 2:1.

Delran left the wedding the second day to attend his duties as a King. He would soon return after he took care of his kingdom.
Due to his independence, his army grew to 50.000 men, paid by his kingdom. He immediately ordered that 16.000 men be trained as Mounted Lancers, joining them with the troops already existing in his kingdom, another 16.000 men were trained as Mounted Archers and the same thing was done with them as with the Lancers. The remaining 10.000 men were trained as Voltiraners, the ultimate defensive troops against cavalry and infantry, armed with voltiranes, weapons designed by Derlan himself using his military experience.

[OOC: In case everyone is wondering, a voltirane is a combination of halebard and sword. It has a long handle and a lonh and swarp piece of me metal at one top. The metal is shaped like a blade, long and with a sharp tip, but also has on one edge of the blade a hook. It can be swung and can thrust. It is about 3 meters high, 2 for handle 1 for blade; it is carried on both hands.]

[[OOC: I will now post my actions for the next five days. I will not be here until the 23rd, sorry guys. I did this same tactic last time...saved up enough money to conquer a large nation before my ally could and took the world. Validus is a man of his word though, he won't attack Andoria, Restar, or Xalan, they are his allies. I must now wait five days before I can post again. See ya in five days.]]
Septim, now with enough money to build a good army, has 50,000 more men trained. He then launches an invasion against Serillia. With his army of 110,000 men combined with the 5,000 men from Colvaine's army, he manages to defeat the Serillian army of 100,000 men at the Fourth Battle of Seris. Most of the fifty thousand men he trained died. His forces capture Serillius, but exile him instead of killing him (they later kill him in private so that he doesn't become&nb*beep*artyr). Now, with a large Kingdom and army under his control, Septim begins planning the takeover of other nations.
***
Septim launches an invasion of Helvon (they have 100,000 troops...sorta sucks to be them). After a two month long war, they surrender and, as stated in the terms of surrender, Emperor Ker is imprisoned, but the bulk of Helvon's forces are given freedom.
***
Septim's forces soon take Erenia in an easy battle (Cidel outnumbers Erenia 2 to 1). Septim imprisons and later exiles (kills) their ruler.
***
Septim notices the war fatigue on his men and stops his conquest for two months.
***
Septim attacks and takes over Franchort. After that, he finally turns his sights on Kerait, but he must wait another two months for preparation.
