A NEW GRAND DUKE WILL RISE!
View the official reference page
here for a quick guide to the war!
So...
Ever since I joined here in little old SOTE- I've been plotting some to have my character
Calent become the
Grand Duke of Connlaoth .
Now that that has officially been approved, I'll be developing his plot to get him in that direction, starting off with the identity of the new Grand Duke being in question before Calent will step forward to accept the position he's been pining for for some time.
HOWEVER
There's a big hitch to this plan.
Calent, unbeknowest to himself, is a
mage, and has very powerful corrupt magics residing within him, which have shown themselves few times and are always during periods after he blacks out.
These black outs, however, come to him later in the form of dreams and nightmares. He has committed unknown acts of murders- once, long ago on his fiance, and more recently, on his very own father (not that anyone is aware of any of these facts).
AND
To add more meat to the pot, Calent
loathes mages. He loathes them so much that in his minor duchy the law has been more strict against them, and his own father had even decimated another duchy who was once linked to it's own but has since gone another route- supporting and verbally pleaing for more mages rights, claiming not all mages can be bad, and blah-de-blah.
Needless to say, this duchy was naturally destroyed, and only one heir of this blood line remains-
Katahnia.She's another one of my characters that will (eventually- give me a few months to get her back story up and going XD it's in the works) but she will eventually rise up to help those who are suffering under Calent's new and strict order of ruling over Connloath, not even just the mages, but any of the weak and suffering, the poor- and will become a hero among them to help in any way she can, to make them finally free, as her parents had wished so long ago.
So this basically means
CIVIL WAR AGAINST THE MAGES!
Now these thread ideas can go many ways and will affect alot of Connlaoth, but not all of it.
Knights will be rallied into battle, mordecai will be summoned into a more elite brand of warriors to directly aid the new Grand Duke himself and help to champion his cause and snuff out the rebellion that will soon rise. Also, just posting this as a heads up since this might also affect other countries as well as anyone passing through the country, gossip and the likes (but please note:
THE WAR HAS NOT STARTED YET) It is in the works :D AND WILL HAPPEN DX
So, anyways! I just wanted to post out my ideas (as I'm still working on finalizing them) and there will most certainly be other ideas branching off of these plots, so yeah- if anyone is interested in participating in such threads, just contact me :D
Calent's position as Grand Duke is going to be shaky, depending on how the conflict and war within his own country goes- but since it's Connlaoth, there is a very real fear about the people against mages to begin with- so he merely needs to pull a few strings, word things in such a way to call to his people to rise up and champion his cause. There is much drama to be had!! Yessssss...
I will post a reply later with some of my more broadly developed ideas, but figured I'd at least announce my intentions~
