Sooooooooo, much has happened and I need to update the information page, however, I'd more of an advocate for actually working and doing plots atm than playing catch up on background information that already occurred (but I promise I will get to those updates at some point, it just might not be until the summer D: or when I have more free time.. aka- no evening classes)
Anywho, that being said I've already started plotting NEW things and NEW events to take place after Blaith conquers Ahjfeld; so I think it's more or less appropriate to establish a plotting thread for this year's event.
As it is mentioned here:
http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391 ; I'm thinking Hellvion will have a show for a fall of power (and grace) when it's one small event goes on where the Duchess, Melora, and a lot of her supporters, dies (or disappears, etc) during the super ship she spent to built that sinks far out at sea during it's main voyage (SotE's Titanic, anyone? XD )
That's an event in itself, and I'd be up to more plots with that, currently it just has the duchess of Folkvar on board having an awkward reunion with her lover from her youth (and potential father to her eldest, Sunniva).
As it stands,
@Whim and I are plotting for his character Wylie to be taking some form of Duke like control of the duchy of Ahjfeld that is now conquered (as to be plotted/ promised via Blaith- we are working on this via PM)
Katahnia Harmond, a known figure countering the war with peace, is gathering her own set of followers (some of it being a large gathering of soldiers in their own right) while another mass is gathering to become active by other means (I'm plotting with
@Wycliff on this one- but I'm seeing this as a potential multi-year effect/ event, maybe)
The Grand Duke himself is going to start appealing more towards the working class, by a potential 'baby mama' (or second wife, as it were) with the woman, the commoner, who gave birth to the famous baby (and his (KNOWN IN SECRET, ONLY)) , his only son! The baby's name is Hope and right now, he's becoming a symbol for that as the draft is unfolding, forcing more soldiers into the war.
Supporters of the war or waning, but Fokvar is one of the many duchies remaining strongly supportive, due to their close connection with the crown. That being said, the current duke their (rped by
@Draconian ) is a power hungry Duke hoping to secure more and ample power and wealth for himself. He has no heirs, but he proposed heir he plans to use as a puppet to marry off to Blaith Harmond's sister , Kella, whom ends up being hunted after by many, many seeking her as a big game changer in the war. She is, after all, Blaith's twin sister, and seemingly the main reason he goes off the deep end to storm across Connlaoth to the mage camps in the north and
destroy them. Kella will, at some point (that has been somewhat plotted!) will be married off to the heir of Folkvar in an attempt to gain an upper hand on BOTH sides of the war- one effort to bring Blaith to their knees bfeore Folkvar and in doing so, making Folkvar become the 'hero' of this war (for surely the war will end when Blaith is taken out!- never mind the resistance before he even dragged out his army to conquer)
I'm sure there are other ideas, but I'll keep posting them here as I remember them or if I forget them, please tag me and our thoughts and we can keep an open discussion on the year ten events, here!
I know
@Lion your one duchy is going to change heirs, so maybe you can explain that more in detail here.
