This is a major 'mini-event' that takes place during year ten (or eleven) (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) of the Connlaothian Civil War (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439). After news that
The Goddess (the duchy of Hellvion's
super ship) has sunk (and with it carried a lot of nobility, mainly the duchess of Hellvion and duchess of Folkvar); and with Matron's Hallow conquered by the Turgall army where General Krah Mordeth (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14744.msg136491#msg136491) has been presumed dead, those who have been conspiring to over turn the government near the capital believe it's time to strike.
Uthlyn, being a hub for a lot of scholars, ends up as the hot spot for this event. When the church bells toll on the
Day of Respite (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/connlaoth.php#fest) is when the uprising will begin.
The following members I know have an interest in the war, and this event will definitely be a game changer as the war is finally growing nearer towards the capital, and may over turn the majority of support for the Grand Duke and leave a potential pathway for rebels to attack the castle head on.
It won't be an easy or short battle, but with something of this size and complexity, I'm reaching out to all of the active civil war players (and also welcome new ones and their ideas!), to toss out ideas and help me flesh out a plot for this :D
@Draconian - as your White Lily would be with Krah during this time and they may or may not be present, but would be a big influence on the aftermath of this event. I'm thinking around this time Krah might be taken into custody by the Grand Duke himself, and perhaps as he is waiting his trial for potential war crimes, news that Uthlyn is now rioting/ rebelling may affect Krah's fate and allow for him a pact for Redemption; maybe a
Save Uthlyn, or Die sorta thing lol
@Lion - we have a lot of characters involved in the war movements, Renna and Oakley could have their final thread here as they team up to get insider info to help this event be seen through. Jude and Jinai would no doubt be up to shenanigans that could help sway this battle in one way or another- and I'm sure there are other ideas you'd like to toss out there for potential plot ideas!
@Ivory and
@Paradox - if you two are still around and interested in playing your characters in this event, let me know!
@Rhi-Rhi and
@SilverLuna - you both have rped with my character Killian at two very different aspects in Killian's life (Rhi being there with her character Faolan when Killian first joined, and Sil when Killian was at the fall of fort Dhagh and lost his arm). It might be interesting for Killian and Sil to participate in this event on their way to 'save' Killian's 'girl', and they could run into Faolan here or something! (could be one or two threads- but it's just some ideas!)
@Moonie - Although Blaith and Lily will be preoccupied elsewhere (perhaps meeting with Lily's father around this time), I'm sure you've got lots of ideas you could toss into this?
@DragonSong - This could be an unfortunate event Jack and Fiona get caught up in at some point! (or if you have other ideas, let me know!)
@pomelo - I see 'klemens' is back! :D If your'e up for it, I wouldn't mind plotting more with you on this event (or just anything else, if you'd want!)
@Cambie - It'll be a whale of a time!
I'm sure there are others I haven't tagged on this but this, again, is also up to any and all who have ideas :D
@Heretic King - obviously you might have an interest with your character Artorias, the Mordecai Grand Master (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=19751) :D
Also, more information on Uthlyn (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/connlaoth.php#land) is found on the link provided.
YESSS, LET'S DO IT, SPICY! 8D Oh man, Faolán will be 24 in year 10! All growed up. *sniffle* <3
I'm definitely up for that! I can adapt Fiona to however you want to play this out.
Okay so I think this could be a good turning over of power in the Church. I'll have to submit my character Lucian who can use this uprising as an excuse to turn power over to the Order of St. Agratha.

SO MANY IDEAS FOR SHENANIGANS!

@LionYES! I was hoping you'd throw that idea out there :D Maybe this could be the true 'death' of Attalia Arrant, or maybe she finds her unlucky self nabbed, once again, by the church D8
But yes, ideas- toss them at me *grabby hands* I needs them!
@visualspice And you know, I think Faolán would stay on the anti-mage side of the war, because he believes the propaganda--and would also just be pretty nervous of doing anything that drew negative attention to him, considering what he's hiding. It'd be interesting if maybe they crossed swords or something! 8D And Faolán can be like, "D8 OMG KILLIAN." Because he really likes Killian! And even kinda developed a mad crush on him. >___>;;;

In the mean time I'm contemplating drawing >_>
maybe :T
Spicy! My lily is your pawn! As arearly all my characters in the civil war. <3
I know I been less active for a few days but I'm willing to volunteer my vigilante (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=19225.0") for this uprising. Perhaps he can serve as a wild card in the midst of battle, trying to protect citizens stuck in the crossfire of the bloodshed.

@Saber-Five - Most definitely! He'd be a helpful though controversial tool stuck in the middle!
Controversial as in somone who takes his fierce view of justice into action LOL! So when does the uprising actually start?

Year ten, more than likely, of the Connlaothian Civil war.
As far as when the threads will start, well, as soon as plots are formed and threads made? lol
Yeah, it'd be sweet if I got a spot in it, where do I gotta throw Artorias in?

@Heretic King - It depends where and when you'd like him involved! Its possible Artorias gets side tracked by Cullen and some of his men to prevent him from being there when the uprising begins. Could be a suicide mission or something, but either way, a fun idea to propose!
Although that would make Cullen one of my shortest lived characters looool
Just some food for thought!

We'd still have to finish out Merric/Attalia's thread. And then that would lead to Lucian's denouncement of Merric, maybe Attalia gets captured. And ANGST GALORE and THINGS and we need to discuss more of this.I forgot some of the stuff we plotted.
@Lion Yeah! Plotting must happen- but that's kinda why I posted this thing!
FOR ALL THE DRAMA AND PLOTS AND THINGS

So, for reasons, my previous post didn't get through.
Anyhow, Artorias would love to get his hands on Cullen, it'll keep him occupied as he is indeed a gamechanger, it would tip the balance in his foe's favour.
Perhaps he still manages to show up in the nick of time?
Well as in for plots I offer one or two. During the midst of the fighting some combantants of the warring sides commit crimes like looting or murder against people, causing Nemesis to intervene after having been observing the battle from the shadows.
He assists a sizable group of victims at one neighborhood. Then rallying those willing to protect themselves into an defense of their homes against looters or anyone trying to harm them. They barricade the streets in the local area and mount a resistance against any invaders who attack them. Of course this would be a delaying action for those who can't fight escape into the sewers.
Also some rebels could try to parley with Nemesis and his group. How does that sound?
I know we discussed about Lynette doing the sinking of the ship thread, idk if that happened, but I can offer her, Alphonse, or Aldwin. Whichever you think fits best
@Heretic King - Yeah, anything is possible. I might even toss Vels into this, depending on the reason and turn out of members interested (and if it'd make sense for her to end up being there XD )
and
@Saber-Five - that could definitely work! Maybe Artorias eventually gets the upper hand and Cullen tries to retreat back towards Uthlyn (maybe word gets out by this time in their fight) and these three end up in a thread of CHAOS!?
Though just some ideas! Chaos will happen, so there will be war crimes a plenty. Innocents will suffer, all the things! I'm pretty sure if I toss in Vels here she's not exactly going to be on one side or the other, considering she never wanted to be involved to begin with and is kind of surviving day to day best she can!
and
@Jounin64 - since there wasn't a large interest in the ship thread, I continued that on with a one on one thread with
@Draconian . If you're still interested, PM me your ideas and we can work something out!
I keep mentioning Vels so I should probably add
@DragonSong to this, too! lol

So. Cullen and Artorias are fighting. And suddenly third party intervention from Saber?
Works for me. Nemeisis would do it if it meant protecting the innocent that he can save in the area. What you think Spice?
Not to add to the overload, but I pmed my idea, that will prob become very destructive shenanigans XD
If it is magic, it'll be tough to pull it off when Artorias is around. He's like; "lolnope. No magic."

Wulfbauer still wants to see Krah brought to justice!!! By this point, may be the Wulfbauer army is also marching its way toward Uthlyn. (Depending on how
@pomelo sees it.)
Also, what do people think of a religious uprising, where maybe the most ardent of Church supporters believe that the Grand Duke haven't been doing
enough to get rid of mages?

@Heretic King !
I'll work on fleshing out the details and post it up just to clarify later, as I'm not sure our three characters will be in the same thread at first (as Artorias will be preoccupied elsewhere) - probably in Reajh before he rushes off to Uthlyn. Although, it doesn't mean your character, Saber, might not also be in Reajh, first before following them to the craziness in Uthlyn!

@GoblinFae - At this point in the war, the uprising may not directly affect Hellvion, however, Melora may or may not be dead at this point, leaving the throne open to whomever gets to it first lol
A quick update to this point in the war (year ten)- the beginning of year ten is when the Duke of Hellvion dies, however, his WIFE, Duchess Melora, takes the throne for herself and more or less has a closed door policy with Hellvion and the rest of Connlaoth. She uses her new power and wealth to build a super ship she calls
The Goddess to show the world she herself, is an able bodied player in this world of power. However, the same month it sets sail, it sinks in the ocean! So there is A LOT of fun plots for us to go over :D
Let me know your ideas by posting them here or in PM, goblins~
But Uthlyn is so far from Hellvion this specific event shouldn't affect that duchy since it's so far north
I think I'll have Nemesis be in the city already, occupied with punishing a zealous priest until the revolt breaks out. Eventually he could confront the Blood Warden and the Grandmaster later.

I'm assuming you mean the capital city of Reajh?
Or did you mean the city of wealth and knowledge that is Uthlyn :D
Oops I meant Uthlyn.
Thanks for the clarification, Saber-Five!
And someone asked me this via PM, so I figured I'd share this here:
This mini-event will have one major open thread (that's like an open by request type deal) for those who want in on a larger scale group thread with chaos!
But! There are going to be several one on one private run threads around this main event as well
Once I start getting more feed back on this event, I'll start posting rough timelines and character pairings and also thread links for any interested who want to follow each thread in this particular mini-event~

Let's plot/skype a bit about this,
@Cambie ! Obviously Erwin is the boss, so in the end it's his decision! I'm not sure how Olive would feel about sending the troops out after Krah or not. But there are possibilities! Let's scheme together.

Well, maybe Olive would be involved by way of Erwin. But otherwise I'm not sure who I'd throw in. The obvious option would be Dahlia&Co. if I wanted to resurrect the Greys. But their storylines are waaaaaaaaay behind! Who knows what'd be going on with them by Year 10.

@Lion Didn't we talk at some point about Lucian kidnapping Olive? I would if that could be incorporated into this. (And maybe more reason for Wulfbauer's forces to join the fight - @Cambie).Sorry for the multi-part reply. Catching up on all this thread little by little. :D .... Just kidding! Caught up more, and I see that Lucian is already occupied. I will finish reading this thread before responding again. Double :D
@pomelo Yes we did! I need to comb through my PMs again to see exactly what I said. This even would probably lead up to the kidnapping since Lucian would need to have a reason to seize power first. Even if it's just cuz "I wanna"

Alright so I got the thumbs up from spice but I want to know what you guys think.
So I'm thinking after the ship sank, Aldwin got reports of that from one of his agents, and used connections to rile up the people in Uthlyn. And after years of being a minor power, and only being a mere rumor, The Witch Doctor is ready to make his debut by doing more than just disguise and heal mages....He's going to bring his test subjects to Uthlyn >:D
The summarize Aldwin, or how the public knows him as The Witch Doctor, he is a Connloathian native, but his parents were from Thanati. He's a flesh sculptor who runs a hidden business known as The Clinic, where he redesigns runaway mage's appearances. Though anyone who opposes (mostly nobles) or betrays him gets sent to his dungeon, where they get turned into hulking flesh beasts
@pomelo and
@Lion omg YES Dahlia was who I was thinking of- maybe at this time we could presume her and Edward were married and he gets drafted and all sorts of drama and then BAM, the uprising happens around them before they could make heads or tales of the craziness!
And lion, lol, Lucian seems to be up for a lot of kidnapping XD
@Cambie - what would wulfbaer do? Would be funny if by then, he got Mae'leena knocked up with his second illegitimate kid (and a son) loool just some thoughts!
Also, pommy! it might be funny to toss Kentamin at Olive again years later looool
Also, lion, are you making a profile for Lucian? You probably should if you've got all of these ideas for him- also please post them here so we can all have them for our plotting record 8D
unless, of course, some of the ideas you wanted to keep a secret!

This is such a creepy idea,
@Jounin64 , I love it 8D
If Olive got kidnapped, the Wulfbauer army would come chasing because at that point she and Erwin likely will be married. (omigod, can you imagine if he had a second bastard?!)
Also, my character Fletcher is the best gunsmith in the land and works out of the college at Uthlyn. Might be fun if other likeminded characters had to defend the college in a "last stand at the Alamo" kind of game.

omg, I love the Alamo idea *_*
However, random thought, what if they kidnapped Mae'leena instead? haha (not sure that would make sense since I'm sure not many outside of Wulfbaer would know about his mistress XD )
Hey
@Cambie (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=13478") I would like to join your Alamo stand with my vigilante and some followers he picked up if you would have them. Who you would be defending against?

Well,
@Lion and I were talking about the possibility of Lucian trying to kidnap/assassinate Olive aaaaaages ago, because he'd want to take out anyone who could talk about the various mishaps at the mage camps. When I first saw this plotting thread, I thought this event might be a good place to pick that idea up. Since it'd be a nice way to involve Wulfbauer, etc. And also to come full circle on my and Lion's mage camp drama. Just an idea, though!
Quote from: visualspice on March 12, 2016, 03:47:09 PM
@Heretic King - Yeah, anything is possible. I might even toss Vels into this, depending on the reason and turn out of members interested (and if it'd make sense for her to end up being there XD )
and @Saber-Five - that could definitely work! Maybe Artorias eventually gets the upper hand and Cullen tries to retreat back towards Uthlyn (maybe word gets out by this time in their fight) and these three end up in a thread of CHAOS!?
Though just some ideas! Chaos will happen, so there will be war crimes a plenty. Innocents will suffer, all the things! I'm pretty sure if I toss in Vels here she's not exactly going to be on one side or the other, considering she never wanted to be involved to begin with and is kind of surviving day to day best she can!
and @Jounin64 - since there wasn't a large interest in the ship thread, I continued that on with a one on one thread with @Draconian . If you're still interested, PM me your ideas and we can work something out!
I keep mentioning Vels so I should probably add @DragonSong to this, too! lol
@visualspice Hey! So if you want Vels and Gavin to get dragged into this, I'm up for that! Gavin is a kinda-sorta mage, so that might be interesting.
Also- I can totally see Fiona wanting to join the uprising without actually knowing much about it. Because she doesn't think things through. So. Hope that helps ^^
@visualspice Yes I plan to make his profile either today or tomorrow.

omg YES Dahlia was who I was thinking of- maybe at this time we could presume her and Edward were married and he gets drafted and all sorts of drama and then BAM, the uprising happens around them before they could make heads or tales of the craziness!
Hm. I think I'd rather not fast-forward so much with Dahlia. I'm not sure that she would marry Edward, to be honest. I mean, after sending her kids off to Serendipity, I don't think she'd allow herself that. But I really don't know without playing it out.

@pomelo - either way, Edward would support the Grand Duke and take up arms to fight with the draft and this taking place too close to his home (unless I plot him to be else where!)

I'll think about it. I think if I resurrected Dahlia, I'd rather see what happens between her and Edward in the past rather than start now. Or a flashback just to figure out their relationship without finishing the whole "We Will Not Go!" plot... Could be a possibility.
On another note,
@Cambie and I schemed, and we think if Olive weren't kidnapped or something, Wulfbauer
probably won't get involved. It'll probably be only just recovering from its internal conflicts at the time, and we think Erwin and Olive would both prefer to keep their little duchy secure than to go off for vengeance on Krah. (Did I forget anything,
@Cambie?)

You forgot to pick up milk on the way home from work.
Really though, that sounds about right. If Olive doesn't get snagged, there'd really be no reason to go anywhere as Wulfbauer would just be wrapping up its own internal strife and will be trying to regroup.

Works for me. We it could make a defense against waves of different groups. For example rebel extremists, wanting to seize an important postion in the city and kill anyone that gets in their way. Or Church zealots who want to "purify the college of corruption". Of course there would likely the armed looters who would be more than happy to take advantage of this chaos to ransack the institution for valuables.
Or just fight off one faction if that is your preference.
We can discuss further ideas on the subject in the PM board if you wish.
Yeah, Erwin and Olive don't have to get involved, though I'm sure if they don't, they'll hear about it- one way or another!
Is anyone up for tossing more innocents into the fray? Or just more characters in general. I'm hoping to get this mini-event started soon :)
Would you like to borrow Minerva? I've forgotten to link her profile in my signature and i dont know if she counts as an innocent! She's super bratty.
Maybe Cullen could run into her, trying to use her for intel and realizes it probably wasn't worth it? lol or something
Might be fun if he's in disguise at a ball or something, which could be something he tries to advocate for her (or some other noble) to start for a ball or some such to ensure there are some wealthier, noble targets in the city?
I dunno, just some ideas x.x
did you have something in mind? XD
She's from Folkvar was it?
I didnt have any ideas. I just like being neck deep in plots with you!
She is from Folkvar! Evarelia is her mom!
Well if that ship wreck happened her mom would be presumed dead. Which would make her super mopey and an easy target for noble hunters.

Cullen is from Folkvar too! (I think ) >_>
at least most of the men in his guild are from there x.x (or just hidden in that area)
Knowing about her mother's presumed death could be what draws him to believe using her as a pawn to bring more Folkvar nobles into Uthlyn for the strikes would work immensely. He's pretty charming and would cheer up the poor mopey brat loool
Thats delightlyfully evil, Spice! Maybe it would even work!
Shes young! And potentially stupid.
And Cullen's pretty handsome loool
Though he'd feel guilty for it- but hey, it's war, right? :T
Gonna break her tender little heart.
I still need her profile lol
I dont know how to copy paste on this phone!
Its on the first page of Connlaoth? 8D minerva avarali .

I'm thinking Cullen can go all master of disguise at this event, greasing his blonde hair up in black grease to try to look like a completely different person.. you know, presuming no one touches his hair XD
Sorry for the lateness.
sil would still be with Killian to get solita to safety or is That something to occur in gone with december.
Sil is, however all over the place. Is there place for Sil in the same thread with Rhi-Rhi?
Also in what year of the war is it ^^

HEY STU... YOUR RENT'S DUE!
Hey Cambie did you catch my last reply?
I was thinking about putting up an open thread as a sort of precursor to this event actually taking place, that way those involved can kind of get a feel for the state of Uthlyn when it happens
aaaaaaaand I made one here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20360.msg294105#msg294105
My character Cullen is currently in this thread, though I might add more!

Hey Cambie did you catch my last reply?
I did now! Go ahead and keep the plot ideas in here so everyone can pitch in.
@visualspice Where do I throw Artorias?
I'm going to put up my character Zannrick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13873.msg118197#msg118197) up for the slaughter~
I haven't used him much and don't really have the muse to try to bring him back as a more active character, so this looks like a good place for him to get offed XD
Think I'll just toss him into the thread and play out his demise rather than plotting it, specifically. Though I don't think I'll use him much as a main character x.x just as some extra cushion for ppl to fight against 8D
@DragonSong - I'm thinking this might be a good place for Jack/ Fiona to accidentally caught up in the civil war. Either we could have it happen at about this time in our thread, or a little later (after Jack maybe gets home?) but I think this scenario would be interesting for these two characters to be a part of since they're not really on any side!
Yeah, I'm definitely up for that! We can do it whenever you want, now or after they get to Jack's home (:
would you be up for them participating in the group thread?
Yeah, sure!
I should probably ask this before continuing to post in this thread, but this thread wasn't meant to have the uprising happen in it during this announcement in the street. It was simply to get the characters into position and interacting with one another before hand, so I just want to make sure we're all on the same page since no conflicts or crazy uprisings are meant to happen just yet XD only putting all of the necessary chess pieces in their place!
@Heretic King - I'm thinking we ditch the idea of Artorias being distracted in the capital. I'd say he could enter the thread maybe when things start to get crazy? Since I can't see him being there before the uprising begins, cause that would put a damper on Cullen's plans. The idea is the
people rebel, not mass chaos at first-
Mass chaos can ensue as this is becoming ripe~ so that's when character's like
@Saber-Five 's vigilante would come into play, probably around the same time (or after) that
@Jounin 's character decides to unleash his undead, flesh sculpted minions lol
@SilverLuna - I'm thinking it's possible she and Killian are separated here, where Sil might be taken to the capital while Killian is forced to act as a guard in Uthlyn. he'd be anxious to get to Sil, but this would make an interesting situation for Sil to perhaps meet the Grand Duke himself, and she begin to do a little bit of spying herself. (however, she could also end up with Killian in Uthlyn, if you'd prefer to join this chaos!) It's totally up to you!
@Rhi-Rhi - How do you want to go about having Faolan here? WIll he step in with orders to help keep the citizens in check so the uprising doens't turn violent? I think that makes the most sense but I figured I'd check with you!
And to those who've rped with Vels, I'm thinking of tossing her intot his thread since a lot of you involved in this, have~
@Cambie - were you still interested in participating here?

@Heretic King !
I'll keep an eye on it when Cullen starts making his move. I assume it's safe to say Artorias managed to track him down for the time being?
@visualspice
So I was thinking I could maybe throw my character John Jameson (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20254.msg284432#msg284432) into the fray (what do you think,
@Draconian?). He's an ex-soldier with a big blank space in his memory (and may be something more).
But! I have some questions!
It's not really clear to me
who is doing the "uprising" and why. Like, is the city occupied by someone and the citizens are rising up against the occupying forces? If so, who's occupying them? That's kind of what I think of when I hear "uprising." (Think the Warsaw Uprising or Easter Rising).
Or are mage-y forces using Uthlyn as a staging ground to attack the Grand Duke's forces/army? That seems like something pretty different to me! In that case, the mages (if victorious) could even be something of an occupying force in Uthlyn, considering that most of the citizens wouldn't necessarily be pro-mage, right? Even if they're not pro-government, they're still Connlaothian.
I'm a bit confused about what the actual dynamics of this battle/uprising are!
Quote from: visualspice on March 12, 2016, 11:38:44 AM
...and with Matron's Hallow conquered by the Turgall army where General Krah Mordeth (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14744.msg136491#msg136491) has been presumed dead, those who have been conspiring to over turn the government near the capital believe it's time to strike.
Whoa whoa whoa... what? Matron's Hollow is already conquered by Turgall at this point??? Wouldn't that mean that Reajh and Uthlyn were already conquered? Also, where did THAT happen? That seems like a super major turn of events! Where is the Grand Duke if Matron's Hollow is already conquered?
I'm confused!!!
@pomelo - the idea for the 'uprising' is more of the people revolting, however, by the way things are going in the plotting thread, it's evident this rioting will turn into a chaotic potential battle field. It's not meant to be a battle, just meant to be a city who's people are finally fed up with everything that's going on and move forward to protest angrily
As far as Matron's Hallow goes, the army from Turgall was being fought off at Matron's Hallow (which is the section of the Grand Duke's duchy that has the massive lake in it). The main bridge leading into the town was blown up in hopes to keep the invading army out, but the explosion kind of went wrong,a nd didn't blow up the entire bridge, so the army was able to move forward, but during this mis-hap, their General, General Krah, went MIA and was presumed dead.
Currently, in the thread where that is happening, the Grand Duke's army is swiftly moving in via the rivers and it's plotted that the portion of the Army from Turgall that's currently in Matron's Hallow will be chased out (or slaughtered). The idea is this temporary hold by the enemy so close to Uthlyn and Reajh is making the masses very much on edge-
hence the uprising riot that turns into chaos.
Hope that makes sense!
@Jounin brought up a good point in their PM to me:
Quote from: Jounin on March 20, 2016, 08:01:47 AM
Alright! I have something planned so that Aldwin can stall his subjects from being released, probably will once the riot starts.
Also is this right now the day before the Day of Respite, the mourning phase, or the mask wearing phase?
To answer this question (and clarify)- this takes place the day before the Day of Respite (considering there wouldn't be a town meeting during the day of Respite! For shame on them if they tried!)
So...t hat being said, maybe the riot itself starts in or after the people have gone to church?
Wow! Am I ever late to this party!
Ailbe is kinda stuck in the blender on this one- she's likely to get picked up, chewed up, and hopefully spit out at the end of it depending on who/what she ends up interacting with. She's going to be playing the part of the mostly innocent bystander, just looking for Cullen for help after her own personal trauma happened in a port city on the coast.
@visualspice - also, I think it's HILARIOUS how both Ailbe and Jack are paranoid about one another, and made even more paranoid by the other being paranoid.

I too am amused by this :D made me giggle
@visualspice well wherever she ends up she will not be able to be contained very long xD if she notices Killian is in trouble if they would get seperated then she will wreak havoc xD
I think it would be best if I halt further postings of Nemesis until the riot actually does start.
@Saber-Five you could, unless you want him to run into any of the characters!
Just bumping this thread to let people know this thread is still actively seeking more plots as the 'party' has not yet begun :D
Still wondering what to do with Sil xD I think though she would've stuck with Killian. If the army now becomes aggresive in our thread though Spice, she WILL morph.
if she would then grab him so to say to get the both of them away, at some point when landing she will get the consequences of magic gone wrong.
It's probably about that time to shift gears to the next day on this event! Those who haven't participated yet but wish to, feel free to post here of your interest! I'll be working on getting the new thread up to start off the events leading up to the uprising (hopefully) today (or this week) and will post it here once it's ready :D
The post is here :D
Got up the post leading into our chaotic event (finally!)
It starts off at 11pm (less than an hour to midnight) when the bells will toll on the Day of Respite (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/connlaoth.php#fest).
Naturally, they'll be a transition phase and then we can move into the people having an uprising. That being said, we should all post our ideas how we'd like the actual event to start (it's trigger).
There are some 'plans' by Cullen and his men and others, I'm sure-
but what actually will start this thing? Just becuase there's a plan doesn't mean they'll get to be the catalyst :D
Just sayin'~
Anywho, the thread is found here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20550.msg299156#msg299156
@TreeFolk Should we tie up our sub plot first?
Feel free to take your time replying. I just got inspired to get that up finally so yeah.. :D
Just let me know when you guys are all ready to jump in <3
@visualspice Anything regarding Sil I can post somewhere or is the uprising a followup from gone with december? I am still confused xD

@visualspice

I'm still not sure if they'd be there for it D: Hrm, gimme some time to think on it! If they are, I'd still ahve to check on that with
@Rhi-Rhi cause her and my character might run into one another there, but again, it's just an idea still in the air at this time D:
basicly if Killian would still not send her away Sil would stick with him for the time being. She will feel guilty about what happened though xD
@SilverLuna and
@Rhi-Rhi I was thinking that before the chaos begins in Uthlyn, Killian ends up still separated from Sil. He travels south towards the capital and ends up in Uthlyn at this time. The day before the uprising, he runs into his old friend Faolan, and they hav ea reunion and stuff; but then during the actual uprising- Killian could run back into Silmeria again.
Lots of reunions and dramas during the chaos XD
What do you guys think?
I suppose that means in gone with december they will no longer meet one another and he will have all her stuff? (Unless he hands it all over to Kayden)
Another possibility could be is that they do reunite briefly but that she needs to heal and has no choice but to stay behind. Kayden then either can join with Killian to help him reach Uthlyn and Sil will join when she is better?
If they reunite now, he'd stay with her D: He wouldn't make her travel all alone!
But he could leave her things with Kayden (if he ends up trusting him enough)
And other events could direct Killian southward? Maybe he gets a free ride with the army? (which would be ironic after their last encounter with the other military group they just ran into and SIl fried >_> )
Well it was a large group and had not killed them all. The group being large surely had prevented everyone from seeing Killian and well. Erians nobility clothes are still in the bag. Change of outfit and combed hair in a tail does a lot.
Maybe then kayden shows, recognises the bag, treats Killian and will go out to find Silmeria while Killian goes with the army. He could impersonate as Erian even if he wanted.
Yeah, by then Killian just wants to go home and pretend the war never happened D:
And
@Rhi-Rhi - I posted the thread up here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20560.msg299562#msg299562)!
Do you want to keep the thread purely between the both of you? Or do you want Sil to show up at some point with Kayden.

Yeah, it'll be one on one with Rhi and I for this one, but once things actually starting going crazy in Uthlyn in game, we can plot Sil (and maybe Kayden's?) entry? :D
okidokie ^^
Maybe Kayden can already arrive with sil in the Uthlyn thread if there is already one where it is starting. She would still need to recover anyway.
@Jounin - Ailbe is going to get him the map, I'm sure! But if you were plotting something else with them, then sure!
since
@Jounin seems to be back, I figured I'd bump this thread to see if we can't bring others on over to THE DARK SIDE

Sure could work.
How will the uprising start? immediate rebellion? Or does it start with organising and planning first?
I like this as an idea. Are you all okay with a Mordecai being interjected? I've been looking for war threads to get into and this one seems perfect for an introduction.

Oh, just wanted to mention that my last post was the last one for Aldwin in Room With a View, or
@TreeFolk were you planning on getting the map back in that thread.?
One question when is the fighting going to start?
Since I should have more free time now, I'm hoping to get this thread up and moving again and starting the fighting pretty soon :D Maybe in the next few weeks? I'll make an announcement post here when the time has come. It looks like most side threads are wrapping up or at a good point for us to get rolling to the main event >D
I know this event has been dragging. I aim to get to the action soon! This is just a post to make sure the other members involved are okay with that :D
@Saber-Five @DragonSong @Jounin @Cambie @Rhi-Rhi @Magyar @SilverLuna @TreeFolk ALSO, this is to bump this thread to let others know it's not too late to join in~! Just post your ideas here :D
@Jounin ,
@Spicyspice Jounin- if we don't get to it, assume Ailbe got the map back to Aldwin... I'm trying to link her up with Cullen's Blood Wardens to start up her rescue and following vengeance plot line.
@TreeFolk Gotcha! and
@Spicyspice My creations anxiously await to see daylight again >:D
@Jounin - Cullen's not going to know what to think of that XD
I think most of the side threads are close to, if not already, finished. I think we could probably start shifting into the next day; which I already have posted here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20550.msg299156#msg299156).
This is a group thread for all involved, so I'll have Cullen there, as well as Jack with
@DragonSong 's Fiona.
@Jounin you can start your transition to this scene (and that goes to everyone else who's been waiting!)
I'll officially start the catalyst in the next post or two, (you'll know cause i'll post here, and in character with bell tolling and chaos and stuff XD )
But
@TreeFolk - I think our thread needs some wrapping up but it seems to be nearing it's end, yeah?
If anyone else is interested and wants to join, feel free :D The more the merrier!
@DragonSong - fyi, I posted an intro for our characters into the new group thread :D
Oh, thanks! Didn't see that before, sorry!
S'all good :D I only posted it today anyway <3
Wil you let me know when Sil/ Kayden can join in? ^^
Also regarding GWD. Would Sil have converted some people? Or would those who agreed with her words have dropped their weapons? If so Sil and Kayden would not come alone. She did, however burn/ attack many who didn't after one last chance (asking if they found the war for magic a good thing)
@SilverLuna - you should totally intro those two and have them run into my and Dragonsong's and Jounin's characters, Jack, Aldwin and Fiona >D
the post I'm referring to is here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20550.msg299156#msg299156
can I still pop in?
Although as mentioned in a PM, it would be more in Sil's character to first find Killian rather then taking a side quest so it could be on her way to him?
@SilverLuna - of course you can! I'm also posting here to let people know I'm trying to make this event LIVE again :D
Is it too late to join in on this or may I possible introduce Major Hakon kilandre into the fray?
It's not too late to join! Infact i'm hoping to kinda revive it since i'd still like it to become more of a thing!
Awesome saice! Just tell me what to do to get involved cuz honestly- this is all very confusing xD
You have the Duke of Folkvar's forces, since he backs the Grand Duke. ( and even though his wife went down with the ship)
And of course, Sunniva and Krah will be through there and that plot that we figured a year ago ( Whooooops ) could still be a thing and Krah can get that redemption he wanted from the Uprising and then ditch her because he'd be a general again!
@AevumEternity Well, which side is Hakon on. xD That'd make plotting things out much easier!
~♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Off to kill me some mages
That'll answer it for ya lol! She's been fighting on almost all fronts with Ansgar's Hand to suppress and destroy rebellious magical cells
xD In character, yeah.
But I mean like. Is she with the Grand Duke or does she just fight mages? Because I don't think this fight is an 'against mages' fight.
In honesty she's torn but she leans to opposing him, due to the effects the civil war has had on the population of the country and the views of the rabble overall- I assume they're all very very displeased with how long this has gone on not to mention the brutality of it- so I'd say against if the people are
This isn't a battle! Just a reminder it's a sudden boisterous rise of the common folk pleading for change and the war to end. There might be some violentish rioting, but it's not an outright battle. So it's really just a bunch of scholars and some rebels throwing stones at the big dawgs- and they're doing it due to carefully planted seeds by Cullen's little collection of rebels :|

This is a major 'mini-event' that takes place during year ten (or eleven) (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) of the Connlaothian Civil War (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439). After news that The Goddess (the duchy of Hellvion's super ship) has sunk (and with it carried a lot of nobility, mainly the duchess of Hellvion and duchess of Folkvar); and with Matron's Hallow conquered by the Turgall army where General Krah Mordeth (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14744.msg136491#msg136491) has been presumed dead, those who have been conspiring to over turn the government near the capital believe it's time to strike.
Uthlyn, being a hub for a lot of scholars, ends up as the hot spot for this event. When the church bells toll on the Day of Respite (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/connlaoth.php#fest) is when the uprising will begin.
The following members I know have an interest in the war, and this event will definitely be a game changer as the war is finally growing nearer towards the capital, and may over turn the majority of support for the Grand Duke and leave a potential pathway for rebels to attack the castle head on.
It won't be an easy or short battle, but with something of this size and complexity, I'm reaching out to all of the active civil war players (and also welcome new ones and their ideas!), to toss out ideas and help me flesh out a plot for this :D
okay so correction it's not a planned battle out on the field- It's as described- happening from within. So... it'll happen so it's whoever is nearby (on the opposing side) that would be there. so nothing in character planned-~
I just mean that, should Mr.GD require it, he can shuffle in some of Duke Folkvar's forces to look big and scary and stuff and be a threat should... Things escalate.
I say throw Krah in there and end it like he ends everything. |8 Badly.
So it's just a super violent uprising that could/will lead to bloodshed of essentially Pro-Duke vs Discontent masses, correct? The only reason Connlaothian forces would be there would be to suppress the masses and keep violence from spreading OR slaughtering the discontent masses... So what would it be do you think?
Yes, correct, Aevum! ^_^
Most likely the Grand Duke's forces will be sent out-
but not until after things look ugly and may turn violent.
When will this take place? Before or after Sil and Kayden's arrival :)
@SilverLuna Do you have a preference? Let me know and we can start a thread with them from there :D
They could just 'bump' into this scenario or..
who knows, maybe help Cullen bring it to fruition?
I think Cullen needs friends, but I'm game for either!
I wouldn't mind. Like mentioned before, Sil's first priority is finding Killian (having her bag and all and her concern for him)
Another option is for Kayden to leave Sil with Cullen though and find Killian on his own, but Sil will not exactly be in a good place. After all, Sil is wounded as it were.
Is this ongoing or for a future thread?
Anyway, I have a (16-year-old)Assassin/ Mage / Alchemist Apprentice in Uthlyn that Hates the Nobles (Mage, Obviously!) and likes to protect his Morals and the Innocent. Could Solomon fit into this?

@Griffin this is going on now (but the event itself is kinda slow going) so pretty much anyone can hop it and have their characters effected by it (since there will also be multiple threads that are going on and are meant to be going on at once, but not necessarily all in the same precise location). I hope that makes sense!
I'm sure your character is fine. I haven't had a chance to review them yet as I'm getting ready for class but should you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask!
Hey Spice, the idea to have Kayden leave Silmeria with Cullen and then find Killian, or have Kayden with Silmeria find Killian and Cullen afterwards, let me know which you prefer and when we can start it :)
@SilverLuna I like the idea of both of your characters finding Cullen and make an alliance due to common grounds. Do you prefer them meeting him prior to the craziness that is happening in Uthlyn for this event, or during?
This might also make a fun group thread with
@DragonSong 's character as well as all 3 of them could meet Cullen during the craziness!
What do you guys think?
Also,
@Griffin Your character could work into this potential group thread as well :D
before might be better. I had the idea Silmeria needing a contract to survive and perhaps make one with Killian? if you want

@Draconian We'd have to consider when this happens in our thread. Maybe he ends it WITHOUT the aid of an army (omg not sure how he'd even manage that but lol) and could be his final route of redemption with the crown? Not sure though cause yeah, have to think on the direction for our current thread. However, it's possible he could take up Sunniva's parents army to roll on into Uthlyn to restore order.
He'd definitely feel more at home finally being back in a leadership rule for the army and the grand duke would have to unfortunately acknowledge his tactics (maybe he doesn't completely steam roll Uthlyn this time in restoring order?) Could be from Sunniva's insistence, or something~
Just some food for thought but looking back at all these ideas, I'm now able to get a better idea on how to tie this all together! Yay! *pinwheels arms about excitedly *
Also, make note of this
@AevumEternity - cause maybe we can incorporate your character here as well? If desired, it could bump her status or she could have it already bumped by now, if she wanted to ever become some sort of General for the Grand Duke? I dunno, just some food for thought!

@SilverLuna Can you clarify the contract for me again? :3 I might have another fun idea for this <3 (or just hell go with that one but I just want to make sure i'm on the same page XD )
Sils bloodmagic can be used to make a contract. the one she has a contract with receives a part of her magic. So fire, a but of blood magic, immortal lufespam and healing magic. It only counts for the power she naturally has and not the magic she learned throughout ger life. Kayden cant go in conteact with her so it has to be someone else. The magic lasts until the contract is lifted or the person is killed, or the contract has been paused by Sil. Some other things too but this is the short version 😊
Is this to save her life or the other persons life? Or either? or both? XD
lt works both ways but will now be needed to save hers. So it can be used to help someone else too. Its also possible to hold more contracts at the same time. But if she dies so will the ones with an active contract and vise versa. only her being a phoenix results in her being reborn
It might be interesting if her contract is with Cullen, however, if Cullen ends up nearly dying but gets somewhat saved by dragonsong's necormancer (ina way?), would that mess the idea up?
I'm just thinking that it'd be funny if he ends up 'dead' but not dead in a sense after this entire thread so in a way, his support of magic benefits him in saving his life, but also has complications strewn between these two women. In one instance, Silmeria owes him (and he'd only do it out of the goodness of his heart, but also- jokingly nad somewhat seriously) asking for her support against the crown. But I'm thinking he can't really die then? But maybe there's a twist in magic since there's so much chaos going on during this uprising that Cullen ends up int he cross fires and finds himself in a state of an inability to die which, more or less, works in his favor? Like maybe he gets rammed through with a spear but realizes he's not really bleeding and... somehow not dead, despite the pain- if that makes sense?
I dunno just some random ideas I'm playing around with that are popping up in my head as I enjoy my coffee :T
the immortality is about age only. (if you pick Cullen for exampke, he will no longer age) wounds are still deadly.
But if he dies, she would?
I'm just trying to think if a necromancers powers might get muddled in with the pheonix contract, which I think could be something interesting for Cullen to fall into.
if Cullen dies so will she, but be reborn again. (a new cycle like how she explained with Killian)
I think a contract wil Killian will be better but both can too. Two or more contracts work different regarding death and im not at my pc now but can explain it better later when I have my pc
@Spicyspice I sent you an e-mail with a better clarification of it all
I replied back! I'll be leaving soonish for work but I'm excited for future plottings :D and complications <3
I'm up for it ^.^
some things need to be thought through but sure😊
Actually... another awful idea occurred to me. What if my character Opus Dey (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=18237.msg219720#msg219720) happens to be here around this event and ends up making the pact with Sil? I know, totally random but like, I could see him being someone that may have been hunting down a being like herself to looking into the potential of a powerful alliance of her sort or even toying with the possible idea to seek immortality for himself.
Though I do also like the idea of it being Cullen too cause things but *flails*
@SilverLuna Mind taking a look at Opus? I haven't gotten a chance to rp him and this might be an awesome opportunity for him to show his face around Connlaoth :D
Kayden would not leave Sil behind with him but if he likes exotic creaturws one if my moonelves might fit. Elle nightsong perhaps?😊
@TreeFolk I'm going to wait to hear from Treefolk as she was in on this before! I'd love to see everyone come together in maybe a group thread? It wouldn't have to be SUPER active of a thread (like if I made a group thread for this, I'd just ask people try to post at least once or twice a week if they can <3 )
But we don't HAVE to have a group thread, too! It's just a suggestion! I'm also game for multiple threads just happening at the same time but focusing on the different characters involved, too <3
So, um has anything important happened since Aldwin's abomination release? Just wanna know, so I can get a sense of what The Clinic will be up to.
I've been sick/ busy and will update you when I can!
Alrighty! Hope you feel better soon!
I only had one thread involved with that and pretty much Jack/ Fiona freaked out and ran from the things only to run into the uprising of the people happening closer into the center of hte town. Basically, they 'flew' out of there thanks to Fiona's wings; but atm, I still have yet for Cullen to do much of anything so depending on how plots go with him, there might still be some stuff that has yet to happen :)
oh and the thread with Fiona/ Jack is more or less complete now
Whcih makes me realize
@DragonSong we should plot their next adventure!
To make it official, THIS EVENT IS STILL A THING
And I'm going to adjust it so that on the timeline- this happens AFTER the Grand Master mordecai's inauguration (whcih takes place in the fall) so this thread is winter time :T fyi (cause it takes place during the longest night)
So those wanting to help bring their voices forward to be heard by their government in a peaceful (of sorts, no weapons sort of deal, basic chaotic ending type of planned thing) then this is the place for you! My character Cullen is organizing it (more or less)
I will be having a few characters involved. There is only one thread that has taken place during this but I'm planning to make others should there be an interest! Other wise, it's going to be just written off as an 'event that just happened' and I'll move on with other things <3
What duchy would this take place in?
Matron's Hollow (Uthlyn is pretty close to the capital).
If you look on the map you'll see it's all in Matron 's hallow, which is all part of the great cities that make up where the grand duke rules
@AevumEternity I messaged you regarding Erian. Let me know if you are interested or not ^^
