Title: Official Connlaothian Civil War Plot Thread
Post by: visualspice on February 18, 2013, 06:56:00 PM
A NEW GRAND DUKE WILL RISE!
View the official reference page here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439) 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 (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13795.msg116719#msg116719) 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. (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13853.msg117668#msg117668)
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~

MORE INFO!

Looshi has made a lovely new guild for those to join who might (someday) wish to join the resistance, since this little guild works almost as a safe haven for those under persecution by the strict government.
Find more info here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14304.msg127573#msg127573)

I've already made a new character to toss into it, so I encourage more :3
AND even people who might be hired to oppose those who are a part of it, etc
See Jinai's profile here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14308.msg127701#msg127701).




ROLES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE STARTING TO FORM:

***Soldiers/ Knights in Connlaoth (including Mordecai)
***Rogue mages/ Bandits etc (who may or may not be apart of the above mentioned guild)
***Upper Class Nobles whom this might affect
***Everyday people whom this might affect




** Please note, it might take another month to get the actual war up and running as I'm cleverly concocting some back story plots in the following threads:
What A Man Wants (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14001.msg120021#msg120021)- featuring Calent and Kathryn (whom is Calent's new fiancee)

Hot Chaos (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14021.msg120533#msg120533) featuring Katahnia and Cauwyn where Katahnia is destined to become a resistance leader and figure

Shadows and Dreams (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13892.msg118534#msg118534) Calent forms a meeting with his elite mordecai known as 'The Hunters'

Post by: Ivory on February 27, 2013, 08:39:40 PM
I'm going to post here, because I can.  Yaysauce!

For Connlaoth:
Kathryn (although that's fairly quickly going to become for herself, I think)
Audric

The rest of my characters might tsk disapprovingly, but they're certainly not going to get involved either way!

PS, every time I see "stuck in the middle" a certain song comes to mind...  <3  And now it's stuck in my head and won't go away!  D:

Hey, just posting again here to remind anyone if they want to join Looshi's guild 'The Free Folk' (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14304.msg127573#msg127573); don't hesitate. We can all make fun plots if you want to be a part of or opposing such a guild.

Also, Paradox had a cool idea to make something involving rogue mages (and not necessarily good ones) to toss into the mix, so something like that might be occurring as well (Paradox, I'll PM you my ideas but feel free to do the same (unless all that you told me in yahoo messenger is all you've got planned at this time- but I've got ideas I need to toss your way. Just pester me when I'm home later tonight~)

Ugh, I'm so tired. I'll also be away most of next week, but I'll try to get the ball rolling to get a few threads started that this brewing war will affect perhaps by the end of the month, if not, then in April maybe?
Either way, expect more post plotting, and don't' hesitate to post your ideas here, especially if you're seeking to start up a thread :3
I'm also going to be moving along to promote Calent to the Grand Duke soon, so keep your eyes peeled when that starts. I might make that thread open, but we'll see~ It'll be all politics and mudslinging, I swear~ FUn times 8D

Two new characters who would be FOR MAGES, however, Kella would be more undecided/torn and would rather be left out of it~

INTRODUCING MY TWO TWINS:
Blaith Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724;topicseen#msg128724) and Kella Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14367.new#new)

Blaith's plot is to become a radical mage to stir up the initial cause of trouble, causing incident (that will be happening soon) prior to the dispute that will be coming up over the new Grand Duke's position. (read his profile for more information about this as to why)

Kella more or less may work as a catalyst for her brother. Since she's run away from him, he's more or less hunting her so maybe I can come up with more reasons he'd turn into even more of a psychopath XD  She's afraid of what sorts of powers these twins posses.

I eventually would like to see Blaith teaming up with other mages who would like to cause/stir up trouble. I will (hopefully) have some sort of thread for this pair up before I'm gone next week, but if not, I'll start something when I get back~

I shall be posting more, or rather, forcing Paradox to post some more plot ideas soon (since we've been brainstorming via yahoo messenger)

MORE WAR RELATED THREADS

Pennies and Dimes for a Wish (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14356.0)- Featuring Jinai, of the Free Folk and Tenran the bounty hunter
Sweet and Sour (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14374.0)- featuring Lady Valia and Lord Gabriel Coleridge (though right now the war isn't entirely affecting her or her new fiance.. yet!)
City of the Falling (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14443.0)- the first traces of unrest are posted here, with indications Duke Calent will assume the newly vacated position as Grand Duke. This thread features my twins, Blaith and Kella and Elapheesa's character, Farn.
Flying by the Memories (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14283.0)- a flash back thread featuring Gherrick and Ivory's character, Elaina and it ties into the mysterious death of Duke Calent's betrothed


More threads to come :D

I'll probably want to start one with Killian and a few others later, but yeah- figured I'd post here since some plot things are slowly moving. Hoping to start the first post involving the first real 'slaughter/ attack' of mages soon :3  (though this might just happen in the City of the Falling thread, since it involves the first real tastes of unrest).

Don't hesitate to PM me or post your thoughts for future plots here :3

The Men with Metal Hearts (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14535.msg132188#msg132188)
This is a 'group' thread featuring knights in training, and potential misadventures! If you are interested in joining, PLEASE PM me ^^

This is another thread involving the war and has some more important information contained in the first paragraph or so- showcasing how Reajh reacted to the killing of the last Grand Duke (who was murdered by my mage, Blaith Harmond).
These are knights that are training to prepare to protect their country as mage laws become stricter and stricter throughout the country, and mages are being snuffed out of cities and dragged off like cattle to the mountains to be kept there under strict supervision while the country plots what to do with them.

WAR PLOTTING IS ALWAYS GOING ON SO DO NOT HESITATE TO MESSAGE ME WITH IDEAS! :3

Here are....
Moar threads to be added to the war related list!

An open thread (PM first before joining sort of thing) is one for my character Katahnia.
Hanging from an Ice, Cold Chandelier (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14690.msg135585#msg135585) takes place well after a lot of blood has been spilled and the mages were beginning to rise up and fight against the new laws repressing them as enforced by the new Grand Duke Calent, after the unknown mage terrorist had killed the former Grand Duke. So this takes place after Katahnia's current thread titled: Hot Chaos (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14021.msg120533#msg120533).
Unlikely heroes are encouraged to 'apply', though any ideas will be considered if you wish to join the open thread with Katahnia. Just PM me if interested :D



Also, the following threads can be added to the war list:
The Coldest Day of the Year (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14660.msg134578#msg134578)- with my character Killian and paganchick's character Solita. This thread is basically about a soldier having to cope with the cruelties of the war and how it affects him personally.

Second Chances (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14661.msg134629#msg134629)- with my character Kella and Rhi's character Alexander-.  Kella has fled from the capital city of Reajh when all of the chaoticness was going on after the former Grand duke was killed. She is fearful of her life, of the new mage laws, and of her crazy twin brother finding her. She believes he has gone mad and she has no idea he is actually the killer of the former grand duke.

High-ho, the merry-oh, a hunting we will go! (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14663.msg134665#msg134665)- another thread with my character Killian and Rhi's character Faolan :3
Two soldiers going out on their own to personally witness the first full 'realities' of this war.


IF you are interested in plotting with me in regards to the Connlaoth war, please PM me!
The following characters of mine are currently (or will be) involved with the war:
Calent (who is the new grand duke), Serenus, Zannrick, Killian, Jinai, Katahnia, Gherrick, Dekka Blade, Aella, Melora, Valia, Draven, Odessa, Blaith and Kella.

Post by: visualspice on June 12, 2013, 07:32:29 AM
any god or god like characters I'm steering clear from, only because I don't want character involved in a war that posses the power to erm, magically fix it XD
It would kind of suck for me to plot out this illustrious war for resident Connlaothians to suffer through, only to hvae half a years worth of plottings and efforts magically thwarted 8D

I'd also like to keep it to characters on the home front (though outsiders are more than welcome, naturally!)

I suppose I'd have to hear your idea to see if it would fit. I'll also be working on a time line of sorts since i'd like the war to keep expanding story wise, so different threads can take place during different times in the war to help it build up a bit faster towards the end (not sure if that'll make sense until I post some more updates, which I might do today or tomorrow)

Anyways, hope that answers your question XD

My other characters are pending for plotty reasons, because I honestly have no idea what direction they'll go in. xD

Undecided
Beatrid Al'teir (Mordecai, very "by the book", hates magic, but doesn't blame the people.)
Alexander Beringer (retired soldier, against magic but doesn't believe the people are evil.)
Tessa Sommer (marked mage, but she believes magic is evil and is pretty passive and accepting of her lot in life; she believes it's wise and good for mages to be marked for the protection of others.)

Post by: TheHighwayman on June 12, 2013, 01:07:48 PM
Let's see here...

For mages: Drin Atrek (for profit, contacts, the potential to eliminate an effective hiding place for his demonic quarry, and some good old-fashioned fire-balling). I should note that Drin's magic is only half diminished by Mordecaism (as his power comes half from his own magic and half from the demon he sold his soul to, and Mordecaism only works on mortal magics, right?) and thus might be worth having along despite the difficulty to control him...

For Connlaoth: Soevak Ret (hates mages, and it's always good to make a profit)

Also, against whichever side they should happen to witness committing undue cruelty to innocents: Lerrok (if he ever heads back to Connlaoth) and Thriv (however useless he might be). The first two would likely be willing to commit to the cause (as far as an assassin and a maniac can commit to anything...), but Lerrok and Thriv would likely only get involved in specific circumstances.

Post by: visualspice on June 12, 2013, 01:39:45 PM
Holy-moly crappa posts all in one day 8D

<3 pretty cool so many people are taking an interest in the war. I'll be getting some more organized visuals and thread links and the like updated here in a bit to show case more of what's currently going on in the war and stuff so hopefully I'll have (just one page, not a thread) where people can go back to as ref for this thing~ (like I want to make a time line and maybe a Connlaoth map or something) then a base character list and roles being played. etc

And maybe toss out a few open threads to get some more people into the war.
But yeah, should be fun XD

Right now there's no real open thread,s just invite only, so you have to PM me to join them but again, I'll try to get this more organized soon :T


As a side note, I don't want any super-duper powerful characters just um, you know, rolling on in to tank over my carefully plotted political war strategies XD cause despite there seeming like there's two sides to this war, it's really a grey war (meaning no real determined battles, because most battles will end up on accident which will make things escalate in the end)
and I don't expect there to be a victor in the end.  Like, Connlaoth going back to how it was, and not under strict laws would be the most hopeful and realistic goal for everyone by the time things are all said and done.

VICTORY TO ONLY THOSE IN PAIN. TEARS AND BLOOD

XD

and so to make this straight now- this is a war to help stop the OPPRESSION (or if you're heartfully for Connloath, supporting it), so I'm hoping they'll be more politicians joining the ranks, more home town soldiers keeping the riots down, stuff like that, cause just fyi- that's all that's going on. The war is more of a bunch of riots that will probably go seriously wrong, especially if some of the mages that band together get more organized and fight back.

THIS IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL WAR (considering the military is the only organized force, and the mages, though organized in small packs, really aren't banded together yet so yeah...)
Imagine like people throwing rocks at a mountain side.
That's pretty much what I'm going for for the mages 8D

B| for now


so yeah, only a few epic battles will probably be fought, and those are a long time coming (but oh ho ho, won't those be fun!) And sadly, I'm seeing those as probably miscommunications. You know, whole towns decimated over the wrong bits of information and misinterpretations XD should be fun!

*rubs hands together* now, people posting here with interests, if you got ideas, don't hesitate to PM me. I've got pages of ideas of carefully plotted out roles and stuff so yeah, can't wait to read what you all got :D

and be patient, I'm just one person organizing a war and I've already go ta handful of threads tossed about that are pulling strings on the war in certain directions so yes my precious.. PM me your ideas if you got 'em XD

oh.. and please, please, please read all of my ramblings for the plotting of this war >.> I've dedicated like months to the preplanning of this thing so yeah XD if you're interested, please know the back story. And if you're interested in reading more, some of the more extensive history are in my character profiles.

MORE TO COME SOON ^^

Oh and my character catalog (second page) has a bit more ideas/characters of my own that are personally involved (or could be) in the war thread so yeah, don't hesitate to check that oooout as well XD

Yeaaah, I looked at his app. Come on, that's really,really powerful XDXD. Prince, possessing all sorts of powerful magic, and you don't consider that super powerful?

THAT SAID

I think there should be some that are allowed. at least considered. in a world like this, its only natural that some people like that exist. some. That also being said, you'd have to carefully mod that... in any case something to consider.

Heads up, I'm going to pretty much keep a closed door to any super powerful god-like characters at this time. However, you can always PM me and who knows, we might be able to make a plot with it, but for now, I really want to keep powerful characters hands out of the cookie jar on this one :T  Just.. I didn't make this thread for power housers >.>  It's a war for drama D:


I've already got complicated back stories that have been in the works involving all sides on this as far as the main villains and antagonists are concerned, so I don't need any characters like that at this time.

What I *am* looking for, are what I listed in the initial posting- Soldiers, ordinary people's who's lives would be affected, nobles, mages, the poor and repressed, etc. And I really prefer them to be Connlaothain, but hey, they don't have to be- but please, to keep this realistic and withint he scope of the plans I've been working on for like.. the last half year, just officially posting it that's how the threads will roll. It's not a world war XP So if your character would be realistically in Connlath during this time, hey, I'm game for it XD

X3

Hope that helps people who are interested in deciding what type of character to toss this way.
Sorry if it was confusing at all >.>
The reference page is up, though not complete. I (somewhat) have a listing of characters, however, I will only add characters to the reference page that are ACTIVELY threading. So if I forgot yours, poke me >.>

The factions section should be up by tomorrow~ and hopefully the rest of this will be polished enough to be done soon.  Please note, these factions have already been created, so not looking to really add here~ (except maybe sub catagories once they're up!)
:T


I will (hopefully) have a few ideas for some extra threads for those still interested in plotting~
My main focus for what I need are more mages (not gods or the like, actual CONNLOATHIAN born and raised and mistreated) mages to be on Kathania and Jinai's side, supporting the cause for a better life for them

D: I needs them gives thems to me *demands with a stompy foot*

We DO have active soldier threads, so again, if you want one of those types or have a mordecai, I'VE GOT THREADS OR THREAD IDEAS FOR YOU

for all the rest, I have no real ideas (or need) on threads at this time :|
but PM me anyways~ though plotting right now with me will be slow as I'm focusing on my current threads and getting the war reference stuff up and organized so people can join in and know what hte heck I've been planning X3  I know I have a few PMs to look at and will either later today or tomorrow~

Well, I suppose Boski will have to wait for some other giant event to happen. I do, however, have two other characters that could be potentially affected. One lives in Connlaoth ( Jy'aad (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14724)), while the other one lives in La'Marri ( Liarri (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14711.0)), both are mages, although I'm not quite sure how Liarri would be involved if she lives in L'Marri....

Post by: visualspice on June 15, 2013, 12:18:51 AM
Duuuuuude, fox! I just got a cool idea for your character Jy'aad! What if he was in the middle of discovering an ancient pathway or some ancient city beneath Connlaoth that could either be used as part of an escape route for mages trying to flee the country, or could end up being used as a safe haven, all the while this ancient, under ground city/tomb or whatever it is creates it's own set of adventures as well~ Like it could start off as him working on it, but the funding gets cut or halted due to war efforts and around the same time, he could run into trouble when some other mage character(s) (to be determined who) are trying to flee the major cities in order to avoid going to the mage camps. Something like that would be totally cool! Not sure if you'd be game for the idea, but maybe others might see this idea and can tact their thoughts/ideas/characters to it, too? and i'm thinking it'd be a hush-hush sort of thing so yeah- SECRET ARCHAEOLOGICAL ESCAPE ROUTE AND ADVENTURE XD

I could see one of my characters like Gherrick, Jinai or Katahnia getting involved here, but I'd have to contemplate who :T

@ Scythe- hey I know I PMed you about Senka and Blaith possibly being in a thread, but what about Krah/Senka instead (or as well)? She might be able to help get him up to the status I'd like to see him become famous for as 'God of War' (she could help fuel his ego as he rises to the top). Or we could do both, ho hum- I've got a lot of ideas on this, I'll PM you later with some more stuff or PM me back if you have anything/ more ideas you'd like to toss my way~
Krah would be sooo easy to manipulate, especially if Senka is like, hot (lol)

First, a bit of appropriate music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YAn8KwnjNM). Ahhhh... much better. ^_^


FOR CONNLAOTH, er, MAGES... FOR WHOEVER IS INTERESTING!
Like a carrion bird, Mephisto (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14671.0) knows that war is a feast of opportunity. Publicly he and his troupe would be mere actors, civilians occasionally caught up in the turmoil of struggle. Privately, his usual modus operandi means he could be courting ambitious persons on one or both sides with devilish deals and tempting corruptions... perhaps even secretly the faction leaders themselves, if so interested. His... "gifts" could turn the tide at a critical moment, for example. PM me if you're interested / have ideas.

FOR MAGES! (and FOR PROFIT!)
A wise leader once said that "an army marches on its stomach". While true, it can also be said an army marches on its money. 8)
Kassom Sercha (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14526.msg132112#msg132112) could serve the resistance faction as a scout or spy for the right price... but his real goal is to accrue the intel necessary to pull of a heist that would make him a legend: raid the grand treasury of Reajh. The resistance might be interested in his aims, since bankrupting their opponent would put his ability to supply and arm the armies of Connlaoth in a real pickle. Or, as Sun Tsu put it: "Hence a wise General makes a point of foraging  on the enemy. One cartload of the enemy's provisions is equivalent to twenty of one's own..."
Cordell (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14575.0) and her crew of ghost pirates could serve the resistance well as privateers, raiding Connlaothian supply and merchant ships and supporting any naval assaults, should any be planned. Supply her and her crew with Connlaothian pistols, rifles, and cannons and you can be guaranteed these buccaneers'll fly your colors gladly.





Additionally, I'm playing with the idea of an unaligned character of an enigmatic and mass-murdering disposition stepping up to take credit for the mage killings that started the war. Just wanted to toss that out there to get a feel for people's thoughts on the idea.

On any character, post or PM to let me know if you're interested or have ideas! ;D
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: visualspice on June 17, 2013, 12:38:54 AM
@Nascent ^^
I'll have to read through all of your character profiles posted here to get back to you to see how these ideas might fit into the war. Please note, I did notice one character is a demon and I'm steering clear of any God-like/immortal characters being tossed into the mix since I don't want any one side to have  trump card that can just win an entire battle single handledly (as stated earlier in this thread). Also, I want to keep all of the struggle/fighting internal, since it's a Civil war.

That being said, keep in mind, the mages have no money to pay outside sources  to help their cause as they are not a unified body; so anyone wanting to work against the government, um.. wouldn't be paid. Those helping the mage cause need to have a reason to want to help them, not money (since, as stated a moment ago, they really don't have money, unless a rich nobleman wants to secretly support them, but in doing so, he'd wreck his own country he lives in, etc- so see the problem there? The only noble crazy enough to do this right now is my character; Blaith Harmond, but I'd really have to think on this when I don't have scrambled eggs for brains XD)

Look at the mages this way: They're just a bunch of poor, suffering families that have been repressed since the beginning of Connlaoth itself, and are not unionized, and now have to deal with even crappier laws and now, mage camps in the north, near Hyoite, which are similar (somewhat) to the concentration camps in WW2 (though not that extreme in nature.. yet..) What these camps do have not yet been revealed in story (aka- I'm still fleshing out the details),
This is already happening and people are in despair, families being broken apart and no one really knows what will happen to them up North.

But yeah, I'll think these over after I'm more awake to read your lengthy profiles to see if I might be able to fit some of these ideas into what's already into place, or if you have any other ideas based on what I advertised I'm looking for, hit me up :3
I'm really looking for Connlaothian mages who are suffering because of this, and soldiers who have to struggle fighting against their own family and friends, or politicians/noblemen,/merchants who want to help aid or change the way things are going now in order to fix the growing problem resulted from the fear from the assassination of the former Grand Duke. So yeah, the civil war was primarily set up for those sorts of scenarios~

Hope this helps ^^

Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: Nascent on June 23, 2013, 10:57:22 PM
So... I've got some fresh new material for the civil war, three characters custom built for the chaos that's set to unfold.

First, however... music! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aDXOTKAM8M)

Now then... you've already picked up on Kasna (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14804.0), that fun little ball of mage-hate and murder. I think it might make for quite a good thread if she was the one sent to "escort" Olive to the camps, if you're interested. Dun worry, I promise she won't actually kill Olive or anything. ^_^;;

I've also got, on the mages' side of things, Caleb Draven (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14827.0), a blind mage living as a hunter in relative isolation in southern Connlaoth's forests. Getting him involved in the war could be done either with someone on the mage's side approaching him for either support or to be hidden whilst being searched for or by someone on the other side coming to him for whatever reason and discovering he isn't just a hunter.

And then there's "the Jester" (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14820.0). Still deciding the exact angle I want to play with him/her/it, but a lot of potential there nonetheless. Likely won't side with either the mages or the Grand Duke due to basically anarchistic predilections, but could add some fun surprises into the overall mix of things. The Jester is just straight-up trouble pure and simple, like as if someone fused Batman and the Joker together into one person. Yeah...

And I'd like to refine my earlier ideas for Cordell. True, the mages definitely wouldn't have much money to pay her with, but she'd be very likely side with them for other reasons. One: she very much wants to help lift the curse from her crew of ghost pirates, and supporting those with magical talent seems like a nice inroads towards such an (eventual, further down the road) development. That, and she's wanted to get her hands on Connlaothian firearms and cannons for quite some time, so serving the mage rebellion as a blockade runner / escape abetter / coastal transport could provide her with the opportunity to procure said items. How's that?
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: visualspice on June 24, 2013, 02:21:04 AM
Nice, Nascent; I actually had a thought about the piraties maybe linking up with my character Gherrick at some point (since he had done some pirating, but primarily sticks to mostly land heists at this time) and maybe discretely they could work together to help transport mages out of the country.
Just food for thought.

And when I'm more awake, I'll make other more valid comments but the ideas all look good XD

I think it's more helpful when you put forth ideas of how you think your character might be of service and what you'd like to do with the character. This creates less work for Spice and jumps right to the point of what you're interested in roleplaying.

Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: Klezmer Gryphon on June 29, 2013, 03:10:00 PM
Ok. Basically, I was thinking Father Caderyn could be hiding a couple of mages from the guards/army/Mordecai/whoever-you-want who would otherwise be dragged off to the camps up north. I get the feeling that this civil war is based slightly off if the Holocaust of World War II.

I haven't gotten the chance to read his profile, but so long as it fits into the story set up for the war (which, helping a handful of refugees does) that should be fine ^^

Right now I've got my hands too full with about 20 threads for this event myself (plus a few more I still have yet to start that are in the wrks), so if you wanted, perhaps you could plot with other members to see if any would be interested in joining you for a thread/ idea? My only fleeing mages from Connlaoth are already involved in threads (none of which are open as this time) and my only mage supporters are also in threads as well. So yeah, don't hesitate to hit up other members who might be interested in joining you for your own thread ^^ unless you see one of the 'open by permission' threads might fit your idea listed on the info page timeline~
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: visualspice on June 30, 2013, 10:53:24 AM
Some new ideas and characters will be tying into the war!

--So, as mentioned in one of my threads, I might be (eventually) tying in a courtesan character who's going to work as a spy for the mages (basically, her only power really is that she can see through the eyes of animals). I might be eventually seeking someone that might want to do a pairing here for a drama/romance/adventure/thriller type thread so yeah, but my brain is like BRAAAAINS rightn ow so yeah, just something that is 'in the works' . I'd prefer a nobleman's son or someone with some influence that's pretty far up there and 'well to do' or some sort.

--I was thinking one of the duchies might eventually break and go against the Grand Duke but get decimated in it's attempt (kind of like what happened to Katahnia's duchy, though this one will serve as a sample to those who protest) though.. still debating if I'll go with this idea or not, considering it could open a whole other can of worms >.>
Might do an usurping thing and once the mage supporter is killed or chased out, someone will replace them that IS a support of the current Grand Duke's new regime.

-- I totally want to do a Mulan thing to get a kick-ass girl in the military; though once I finish thinking up ideas as to why, I'll probably plot more on this. If I don't create a new character for this, I might end up using one of my characters, like Katahnia for this or something, perhaps once we're pretty knee deep in the war to have her get in, get acquainted with things and start rallying her forces with intell from the inside or something (unless someone else wants to tackle this idea and they can be tossed into the knight training thread that's already going on XD)

--Mage camp uprising! (the above idea might link in nicely with this, and I know kleine had the fun idea, so I'll probably PM you later once I have a moment to focus more thoughts on this X3 )  Debating what characters, etc since I have so many but I have to be careful who and the why, since a lot of my characters are already in multiple theads, but not ALL of them >:D
But those interested please don't hesitate to inquire if you want to be a mage within the camps who will eventually help with an uprising~

--There is also some plots ideas lion is coming up with, but I'll let him post his ideas once he is done with them XD

-- Also.. THERE WILL BE DEATH
totally going to off some of my character(s), not sure which ones (if more than one)- the thread outcomes will determine that so.. BWAHAHAHAHA


Anyways, that's the end of my random musings/ramblings >.>

STUFF AND THINGS
AND
THINGS AND STUFF

For those interested in hearing more or tossing ideas, please don't hesitate to post here or PM me ^_^


-the spice

PS- I won't be around much for the rest of the day but if people have other ideas they want to share and start threads for, please post them here to see if others are interested in your ideas as well ^^ and perhaps we can plot together to ensure it fits well into all the craziness that is going on. *rubs hands together* nyahahaha

but hey, if you got ideas, please keep in mind the time line that there are opportunities in the 'before' the war time to set up and foreshadow events to come, the transition phase (which has the most threads since it has the new grand duke coming into power stuff and the adjustments to the new, harsher laws), and then there's the section of the actual war and battles itself, though those will be slow comings, since most focus right now is during the changes going on~
*so please keep that in mind when brainstorming ideas.

Well, I think the fact that the mordecai are trained soldiers and the mages will be unarmed and without use of their magic is part of the idea. But desperate people are much more likely to take desperate actions. I also think the mage camps would be really interesting to thread because refuges, POWs, and other detained (perceived) enemies is a pretty standard part of war that people don't think about as much.

And, you know, who knows how successful it would necessarily be...

Post by: Nam on July 03, 2013, 03:45:27 PM
Not sure where exactly this character fits. He's afraid of magic so that might place him in the "For Connloath!" section but he's no fighter either so maybe "Stuck in-between" would be better?

Anyway, I'm applying my only character "William Galahad". He's in my signature. He's pretty much just an ordinary boy who lives in Matron's Hallow with his parents. He aspires to be a knight like his father. I'm guessing this Civil War could really help give this character purpose; perhaps his father dies fighting mages, which then turns his fear of them into anger and hatred. Honestly, I don't see him doing much other than hiding in fear under furniture, but this event serves as a good catalyst to put him in the right path.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: Nascent on July 14, 2013, 09:14:08 AM
... Or the 'slightly crazy path' perhaps. I has an idea you may like. ;D

Let's roll with your story for William as you have it, but add in a role model of sorts. Will's anger and hatred of mages sounds like a square match for one of my civil war characters, the illustrious (read: psycho) Knight of the White Lily Kasna Vel Telshear (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14804.0). If you're interested in getting his story off to a rolling start we could set up a thread shortly after his father's death where he and Kasna meet, with her likely having been sent to hunt and slay the renegade mages responsible. He may not be much of a warrior (yet), but he could hardly ask for a better role model than a White Lily Knight and, if so inclined, Kasna could certainly make use of him as her squire, making him a knight-in-training under her tutelage. (Not a Knight of the White Lily, of course -- all female order of Adharas and all -- but she could still teach him the ways of knighthood and combat).

Sound interesting?




Aaaaaaalso...

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/SpecterTH/SotE/pirateship_zpsd4e1578d.png) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfPHBQKcYQw)

I have a proposal, mateys!


I'd like to set up a thread to get Cordell and her crew into the mix with the civil war, but I need a few people with mages and/or mage sympathizer characters to help me out. The scenario I propose is this: Connlaoth has rounded up a large number of mages and sympathizers and is preparing to transport them by boat to a holding camp where many will face either execution or experimentation by Mordecai operating under the auspices of the church. Marked mages may or may not be amongst their number, and everyone on board will be under Mordecai guard. If possible I'd like one or two people willing to have their characters as captives on board.

Of course, you can rest assured that a certain ghost ship with red sails will be intercepting the prison ship en route. ^_^

Anyone interested?

It might be interesting for Gherrick to run in and help aid the pirates, since he's a robin-hoodish pirate himself in Connlaoth, more or less doing the same/similar thing since the war started (but I have yet to actually get HIM involved in the war, he's just prancing around in a pre-war thread and an after-war thread) so yeah >.>

Urtok is from Hellvion , but he's so....dumb he'd probably wander around and easily get lost just about anywhere. >> Very flexible character. I promise there will be no library prisons involved this time! That's about all I can promise you, sadly.

Suppose we could discuss things further in PM! If you haz ideas, let me know!

Also, if there are other losers awesome monsters (or sad little people who have the AWESOME misfortune of being tangled up in this) who with to join our noblest OF QUESTS, I welcome you! Come, my children ! Let us save the SWEETS SORCRESS OF LANGUISH TOGETHER! *cackles*

If I might make a suggestion, Spice...

When you're not as busy, I think it might be helpful to add some more specific dates to the timeline.

Example ? Under Pre-war years...why not use labels like Year 1 , Year 2 , Year 3 etc. and then list the pre-war events under them? This will help give everyone a better idea of what is happening when.

I'm not talking about EXACT dates here since this could be more difficult to work out, but rather an estimation. Like Mid-winter of year 1 or something like that.

Anyway, it's just a thought! Thanks for reading!

I didn't want to make things too specific outside of which section of the war years a thread resides to keep timeline flexibility.  But all threads are at least in chronological order! I'll consider this though for. when I have more free time.

I'll update the page once I got a free minute. I'm going through my posts now (since I've fallen behind) and if I have time, I'll update this either today or tomorrow, if not I might not get around to it until later this week x.x
and I'll be sure to add in the link for The Order of St. Agratha (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15134.msg146140#msg146140) in there as well!

Oh.. Another enemies of the mages, far too many of those xD
Anyways, it seems interesting enough and somehow they seem like a terrorist group, I feel they would sacrifice anything in order to destroy mages. That's kinda frightening.

But the mages will stay vigilant and smart as ever. ^^

I will post the link on this word: (HERE) (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14522.msg132071#msg132071) DID HIS REMAKE! YAY! He's gonna be wandering with Senka

Umm...
Brisinger.. did you forget what I posted about no God like characters?
Yeah..
Xerordir falls into that category so I'd have to ask you politely not to participate him in the war. I really just want Connlaothians affected here. It's listed in the FAQ section of the info page so please read those if you haven't already~ :3



Also, lion, I'll try to get to those updates on the info page tomorrow or later this week.
To anyone else, if I forgot anything, please PM me~ or post inquiries here.

Ok so I finally got around to updating the Info Page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439). It should have all of the current, war related characters and threads now posted on the timeline and character list section (*note- Torii has been added to the main character section, due to her role of importance).

The time line has ALSO been updated, by Paradox's request, to include a bit more of a defined 'yearly' summary! So those are now listed in purple! So yaaaaaaaay for things being more clear *muppet flails*

The organization section has also been updated to include Lion's new church faction (that he posted about above) and guess what...


I UPLOADED A TEMPORARY MAP
so it should be easier to see what duchies are located where, etc and what ones are still available for development and play.

If I forgot anything, kindly poke me or PM me and I can update it ^_^

OH AND THE LOOSH, you and I need to plot about an idea I am running involving Jinai in the thread: A Little Bit Dusty (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14770.msg136931#msg136931). In this thread, she and Highwayman's Miklo have found a secret, underground city beneath Uthlyn, which Jinai would like to further investigate and try to use as a temporary safe haven for mages during the war. So yeah, we should plots on that but.. I's be sleepy now D:


I'll be busy the next 7 days (minus Sunday, since I'm off- the other days, Monday thru next Sunday I am working ;o;)b ut yeah.. if I disappear for a week or am rarely on, you all know why 8D


But yaaaaaaay, the page is updated *muppet flails again*

I haven't had a chance to read her bio, so as long as she makes sense with what we're looking for on the info page, she ought to be fine. But I can look at her later~ Just wanted t reply to let you know I did see you posted here XD
Did you have an idea for her? As far as why and how she'd even be a mage supporter for this war?


ALSO TO ALL READING THIS

I've been busy all week and I won't be off until Monday, but exciting news-
Next week on my days off I will be updating the info page to include a section with the current ruling Dukes of Connlaoth. Paradox suggested it (a good suggestion, btw) and I just have to take a few minutes to set it up so yeah.
Expect more stuff to come!
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: Brisinger987 on August 23, 2013, 02:44:27 PM
She would support the mages because it suits her morals. She is not as malevolent as her brother Torak, so she would just let her morals side. She believes they should not be oppressed as they have been, and thus will fight for their cause.

Jinai can do whatever she pleases. The Free Folk is not a true organization, and who helps her will be entirely up to the individual. But if she wants to come back to Home and try to get people to come help, we could do a plot-thing for that, for her asking Torri even.

Also, I'll be breaking up the info page into individual replies within the current thread and the main page will have a 'quick link' section to each portion for easier navigation :)
I'm off on Monday and Tuesday so I should be able to do it one of those days, as well as add in the coding from Paradox's comprehensive list of 'Nobles to Know' in Connlaoth- so yaaaay, we'll have a nice, prettier looking, easier to read and digest info page for the civil war event :D

The info page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439) is 'updated' though not complete. Trying to smooth out and beautify the new layout (links included) and get some more of the information that's missing up to date~

Also, if anyone sees anything missing, let me know! I know I'm in the middle of fixing a few things, but if I haven't fixed it now, it might be good to remind me so I don't forget!
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: visualspice on August 27, 2013, 07:53:11 AM
Ok! Getting the info page a bit more updated today; and realized I might need a fix a few things XD
(and also wanted to take the time to advertise a few others!)

Anyways!
Loosh, I noticed Paradox's post in 'Gliding All Over' makes note that Calent is already the Grand Duke in this thread. I assumed this thread happened well before that, but I'm fine to change it's position on the time line. I just need to know where it would fit so I can place it in the right spot XD
So just let me know <3

Also, I made a post for Blaith Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724;topicseen#msg128724); so for those interested in interacting with him and plotting, please read up on his thread Talking to Mirrors (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15231.msg148495#msg148495) and let me know what your ideas are so we can plot! Possibilities would be: someone to side with him or find out his secrets about his powers; and/or a potential engagement since Blaith is not wed (though the reason he is not wed is due to his magics. If he tried to touch a woman (let alone, bed them) he'd more or less kill them~ So yeah.. some interesting ideas could be played here! (Nascent, maybe one of yours? I noticed you posted a lot of ideas that haven't come to fruition yet ^_^ )

Also Feirja, Ajhfeld, Vythe and Stonehill are all Duchies still open and ready for plottings!
I'd also be up to plot some things for the new ruler of Allar, though I have a few ideas inside my head, so we shall seeeeeee. Paradox mentioned, Loosh, you might be interested in Vythe? So let me know!

Allar plannings would have to involve either a relations with Calent's visor, Vesrik, or a family related to the Allarrick's who would be next in line to take over the Allarian duchy (though again, my brain is slowly bubbling over this, so I might have a new character to throw in the mix for this- but I'm still up to hearing ideas!)
Audrix Molneux (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13939.msg119134#msg119134) might be an idea! *elbows vries encouragingly*

I'm also up for plottings with my courtesan 'mage spy' character: Renna (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14886.msg140190#msg140190).
I need a royal or some high standing socialite to 'purchase' her; or become one of her many patrons for future plots!

Also to encourage more dukes and lesser nobles to play, there might be a 'masked' ball, or some sort of elite party event held at some time for fun. But yeah, keep tossing ideas my way so we can formulate more fun :D

And as usual, I'm always up for plottings so long as the idea works into the civil war :3
Again, my list of available characters here are as follows:
Aella, Calent, Melora, Serenus, Killian, Dekka, Katahnia, Zannrick, Leif, Renna, Valia, Jinai, Trest, Blaith, Kella, Krah, Gherrick, Draven.
*All characters are listed in links in my sig.

Audric is throwing a little temper tantrum, because he doesn't want to be a Duke!  (And he's seriously like the only person ever to say that!)  However, if Calent so commands it, all he can really do is whine pathetically!  <3

And he is oh so pathetic!

I, however, find the idea hilarious, because watching Audric try to navigate Court would be a treat!  And also Calent could turn the tables on him and start nagging him about wives!  Poor Audric!  *cackle*

And a woman to throw at him to be the 'bus that runs him over' >:3

She also has the most threads (because of this XD I'd presume)
Or she's just that awesome

Do they look that much alike or something?

Whoops! That may have been a mistake. I didn't catch that on the first read. But yes, the thread is meant to be set before the war, like where you had it.

I'm interested in one of the duchies, yes. Not Vythe in particular, but since a major plot happening happened there, I'm willing to take it because you may need someone for plot things! (And plus it would be pretty interesting, either way).

We do need more Audric!  If he becomes Duke of Allar, Calent can always count on having at least one friend to stem the tide of mages and horrible rebellion!  If there's someone interested in becoming Audric's wife (including you!) I would love to plot that out...  <3

Uh, most mages are too poor for this. Not saying all of them are XD
Just saying I'd have to think on the idea. Most assassinations are 'in house', if you will, through the groups of mages and their supporters. They don't have money to toss around, so more or less, they might have to do this job for free. Though again, I can think on it XD

Just remember how well the flirting with Valia went...  Audric isn't so good with the etiquette thing sometimes!  And he's going to drag out his decision, because he doesn't want to have some dainty noble girl thrust on him for political reasons!  ...Which exactly what is happening!

Even if you don't go that route, I think Leif and Audric should meet in an official capacity, someway or somehow.  I kind of think they'd either get along or really hate each other, but I'm leaning towards the former!

Leif hates a lot of people, so yeah <3
I'm also debating bringing Edward (of d000000m) into this rp >_>
It would be interesting to bring him in here to play up on his former wife being a mage and him appearing as a mage sympathizer and he has a lot of extra work to do to 'keep' face while raising his daughter by himself, etc while the war is going on. JUST SOME IDEAS

I'm also debating bringing Edward (of d000000m) into this rp >_>
It would be interesting to bring him in here to play up on his former wife being a mage and him appearing as a mage sympathizer and he has a lot of extra work to do to 'keep' face while raising his daughter by himself, etc while the war is going on. JUST SOME IDEAS


I think they'd get along famously!  They may be on opposing sides of the war, but they're both very similar...  Audric (being the super spy that he is!) may even have some suspicion of Leif being the Masked Mordecai...but, without evidence, he's certainly not going to convict him of it!  But it would be interesting for them to talk about it...because Audric would be curious to hear his side of things (and not condemning!  unless, you know, Calent's life was threatened) and his reasons for doing the things he does!

Also: Edward!  <3  Audric's original bosom-buddy!

EDIT: OH MY GOD.  How hilarious would it be if they met while trying to rescue the same damsel in distress (or something???) as Audric the Spy and Leif the Masked Mordecai?!?

Yesss, I want Vythe. Tell me of your grand plans through PM. I don't want you to have to shoulder all the plots and all the characters, let me help! x3

It's all yours, Loosh! My brain still has to like, sift through some of my ideas, but pretty much just what I rambled about up above. Just wanted to make a duke or lesser nobleman that had knowingly married a mage and, despite her having since passed, it puts him in an awkward predicament with the war going on~
I'll have to think more on it XD

As for my error in Gliding Over All, in my defense that was before the timeline was less confusing. I can fix the post easily.

Edit:

I said I was interested in Vythe and I might have coaxed Loosh to play a duke/duchess. Of course, I'm cool with Loosh claiming Vythe. Conall likes having the cool peeps for neighbors, yo :P

I'll just have to take a look at what's left and see what works.

Another edit: I'll tell you my dastardly plans when you get your sorry butt on messenger. xD I knew you were off today. I just couldn't access the internet while I was at work. :P 

Additional: I'm also contemplating retiring Laighean because there seems to be a lack of interest in that thread/plot/etc. and I've honestly forgotten 50% of what happened.  Spice, you need to post as Draven!

Sophia, lol, sorry, just thought it distinguishes her from Torak a fair bit. Torak is now cursed with a psycho demon thingy, which is really fun :) Just to let you know, it can be killed.

But more about Sophia. She would most likely help the mages out of the good of her own heart. She plays with rivals and enemies, usually seductively, lol, preferring to fight in her underwear, now that she is a vampire
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: visualspice on August 28, 2013, 02:30:17 PM
My only question would does Sophia really have anything to gain helping the Connlaothian mages? Most outside countries wouldn't believe there's a 'war' going on, and Connlaoth wouldn't really go out and announce it. But I guess if she were in Connlaoth and happened to get swept up into some chaos, it could work but it will be a while before I can make any new threads. I'm working the rest of the week then leave on Sunday to visit the in laws. Just an fyi~

Post by: Brisinger987 on August 28, 2013, 02:41:42 PM
I thought it would be funny because she knows Torak, and Sophia is Torak's sister, so the similarities would be funny for Jinai to observe

Interested in some family drama to go along with this war?  I started a thread here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15270.msg149568#new)!  If you're interested in watching a family come apart at the seams over this silly little civil war, I'd love to have you on board!

Annnnnnd here's your weapons engineer for Calent, Spice!  Redly Treyburn (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15271.msg149583#msg149583)


EDIT: Redly will be...mostly...on Calent's side, though he will be actively excluding his own siblings from any sweeping declarations Calent makes.  (They're always an exception!)  And should any of the "innocents" get hurt, Redly will be so mad!  SO MAD!  (This doesn't include them joining the revolution and attacking, 'cause he considers that dumb!)

Just some minor updates!
Once the Treyburn's (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15270.msg149566#msg149566) get finalized, I'll add them to the list and things- but you guys have to put what side of the war they'd be on so I know where to categorize them XD
There is also one space still open for one of the Treyburn kids! If interested, respond to the link listed above :D


ALSO
Just for a heads up to those who care..
This (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15280.msg149812#msg149812) thread has an important event where the Grand Duke is getting married!

ALSO, my latest character, Leif, is also in a new thread with Ivory's Audric doing 'masked mordecai' things!
If you'd like to thread with 'The Masked Mordecai' (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15161.msg146889#msg146889)- let me know XD
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/226/b/f/the_masked_mordecai_by_visualspice-d6i71vz.jpg)
He's got two threads, here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15164.msg146959#msg146959) and here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15310.msg150751#msg150751)!
But the more the merrier XD


And as usual, I'm only looking for war related dramas for the following (openish) characters with PLOT DRIVEN/ WAR REVOLVING posts :3

Jinai (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14308.msg127701#msg127701)- available for scouting, spying and seducing. She's good at getting into trouble, whether she was looking for it or not! Currently, she has her face plastered all over Reajh as being a suspect that could link her to the mage killer.
(http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/i/2013/153/a/e/yellow_and_red_by_visualspice-d67kmpo.jpg)

Renna (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14886.msg140190#msg140190)- a courtesan for sale! She can be your companion, or your spy! Up for all sorts of plots where this can be used :3 She's currently for sale for the highest bidder to have her first night! And as all courtesans are; more 'companions' to have; or.. even just some more friends!
(http://th03.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/i/2013/184/7/4/renna_by_visualspice-d6bvp99.jpg)


Blaith (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724;topicseen#msg128724)- looking for some dark and powerful woman to be a companion for him- but not powerful in magic rather than politics. Someone with a similar agenda, or even one of her own! Would be interesting to start an uprising of dark mages here~
(http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/200H/f/2013/172/4/a/blaith_harmond_by_visualspice-d6a38ne.jpg)

Grand Duke Calent (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13795.msg116719#msg116719)- seeking a possible female character to end up figuring out the secret monster lying dormant within the Grand Duke.. and perhaps someone to give Calent a run for his money who can also help break him out (just a bit) from his stuffy shell.
He is also up for political threads!
(http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/200H/i/2013/039/3/e/duke_calent_by_visualspice-d5u7d8c.jpg)

And here's just another listing reminder of other characters I rp who have potential for some more war related thread activities:

Killian (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/134/4/4/killian_by_visualspice-d6593my.jpg), General Serenus (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/180/b/0/serenus_icon_by_visualspice-d6baiqj.jpg), Duchess Melora and her daughter, Aella (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/134/d/0/aella_by_visualspice-d6592je.jpg), Valia (http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/134/e/a/valia_by_visualspice-d6595os.jpg), Dekka (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/179/e/4/dekka_by_visualspice-d6594vx.jpg), Katahnia (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/134/3/7/katahnia_by_visualspice-d659587.jpg), Zannrick (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/157/6/b/z_icon_by_visualspice-d6839f2.jpg), Krah (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/180/3/5/krah_icon_by_visualspice-d6b94jw.jpg), Odessa, Kella (http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/134/d/7/kella_by_visualspice-d65994y.jpg).

So, just going to drop this in here somewhat randomly, but my girlfriend (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=13266) is currently working on a new character that might be good for this. She has some fun ideas on how to make interactions between them interesting, starting with her character stealing something from the Grand Duke and getting caught. Still working out details, but wanted to drop this in here to "save the spot" as it were. Will post again when her new character is ready. ^_^

Lion and I just started a new thread here: Rising of Tides (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15436.0).

It takes place about a year after "The Waiting Game," or I guess about a year after the slaughter of Havanlaar? Lion's Mercuxio visits the camp where Olive is detained to hear the confessions of the mages interred there. Olive uses the confessional to confront the father about the Church's sanction of the injustices going on at the camps. Mercuxio, meanwhile, is secretly there to root out any possible rebellious elements.


P.S. I think at some point there was a vague mention of having a masked ball, and I would like to take this opportunity to voice my support of that idea. XD
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: visualspice on October 11, 2013, 06:46:30 AM
This is so weird, but I was thinking about that idea just today! We should start looking into it, since there are more nobles and such, it could be a ton of fun! Only details I'd need to.figure out are who is hosting and why. I was actually thinking the Grand Duke would, to be ballsy and to show Connlaoth, he cowers to none. And this could take place to help ease tensions in the political circles and the rich, etc. And make them feel as if things are coming back to normal after the.war begins to.rear its head.
'What's that?! Mages are rebelling and freeing some of those in the camps? Afraid to step outside, don't be! Show your pride and support for your country... And maybe the ball is also some sort of a.means of a war fund raiser? I could alsosee Grand Duke Allarrick's wife being a huge helping hand in orchestrating this, and who knows, even her idea.

But yeah, I wouldn't mind hearing more thoughts on this :D

Post by: Paradox on October 11, 2013, 12:45:20 PM
I would, sometime in the future (not necessarily now) like to have a thread that involves Calent and Conall going at one another's throats (probably privately? or perhaps it gets bad to the point that they have public 'cat fights' ho ho ho ) to show their opposition of one another (differing viewpoints) since we failed to do this as intended in Political Party.

Again, not pushing for this now ,but I think that sort of thread would be interesting and incredibly relevant to either of their stories.

Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: Paradox on October 12, 2013, 06:12:55 PM
Conall Shanley is in the middle..  He does lean towards Connlaothian traditionalism ,but doesn't ride the 'let's treat mages like crap, strip away all their basic human rights and toss them into death camps' train either.

Technically though, right now, he cannot be considered on the side of Connlaoth because he opposes Calent (and as I understand it, opposing a grand duke is a form of treason). Or am I mistaken here?   

Edit: This was edited a couple times to make things short 'n sweet.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Civil War In Connlaoth
Post by: visualspice on October 14, 2013, 11:38:23 AM
It wouldn't be entirely treasonous, if that makes sense, to oppose him and his ideals, however, with as much favor as Calent has with supporters, it could definitely swing into something that could be potentially manipulated (if you catch my drift). I'd like to assume Connlaoth is a 'bit' more democratic in it's policies, but there is also a war going on, so non-supporters would be greatly shunned and frowned upon. I think it would be treason if it was acted upon, not 'voiced' upon, so there's no reason for another duke not to voice his doubts and concerns and ideals, but if he were to act upon such ones, it turns into an entirely different game.

Hope that makes sense! I finally got my lap top fixed so I'm just so happies *_*
I'm kind of loopy still cause I'm back on pain meds and I can't sleep now (despite being so extremely tired) since I'm waiting for a phone call back from my doctor.

I have a lot of plans for her as it stands with Nas's character Mephisto and possibly stringing alone the Mages with whatever goodies she might obtain from under the Grand Dukes nose. There are a lot of little details, but obviously it depends on whether, to you, she fits the bill at all.

I started reading through her profile and she seems cool. I'll have to plot with you more in length once I'm able to focus more. It's been a bit difficult for me to multi-task since I've been on the mend, then again, this is my second real day of actually doing any 'computer' work, since my computers have also been out of commission- so I'm slowly getting back into the mind set to be able to plot, it just takes me a lot longer than normal to focus on things and I'm just tired a lot. But no worries, I won't forget this character-a nd I'll add her to the war roster once I work on updating that section, which might be as early as tomorrow~

Also, I did read most of the profile, and just out of curiosity so I know what side she is on, it seems she's more in this for herself than any one particular 'side'. Which is totally fine and cool, I just want to make sure I'm on the same page XD
cause it seems she might be the sort to help one side if it benefits her, then swing the other way if she so pleases. Seems interesting, either way! Just let me know so I know what section to label her under.

Nah that's fine; take as long as you need to get back on your feet; took me plenty of time to get this gal up in the first place after all XD

Mostly, she's in it for herself, but she'll happily string along any and all sides as she goes. She's in it to worsen the war and she wants to get some major dirt on the Grand Duke. Might hold the Mages 'to ransom' on whatever she might take from him if it could encourage support for them in any way.

It's been long over due, but I finally made the Grand Duke's advisor's profile!

Meet the pig of a man right here, folks!
Here's Vesrik Delcheaux (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15502.msg154418#msg154418)~
What. A. Pig.

Is there any space left in this whole fiasco for an Ogre and his company of mercenaries? If so, I'd like to fight on the side of the traditionalists to squish some mages, although it's solely for money. And the squishing.

The Info (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439) page will have all of the information listed as to what is acceptable and what is not as far as outside ideas for this event. This is not a traditional, fantasy war, but a war designed for politics and family dramas. At this time, I am not accepting ideas for outside fantasy elements, as the war event is purely designed for ideas such as stories revolving: brother v. brother; and more generalized, human vs. human. (and more specifically so, Connlaothian v. Connlaothian, as this is NOT a world war.)

So at this time, as I stated before on some other inquiries earlier in this thread: dragons, ogres, demons, gods and other fantasy creatures looking to become a part of the war is NOT accepted as eligible story elements for this event at this time. More information can be found in the FAQ (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148393#msg148393) section on the information page.

Hope this helps :3

Nah that's fine; take as long as you need to get back on your feet; took me plenty of time to get this gal up in the first place after all XD

Mostly, she's in it for herself, but she'll happily string along any and all sides as she goes. She's in it to worsen the war and she wants to get some major dirt on the Grand Duke. Might hold the Mages 'to ransom' on whatever she might take from him if it could encourage support for them in any way.

Heeey, Painter, I might have some ideas we can work with on this character that'd be fine (but I'm torn over the two ideas in my head XD )
So I'll probably take our plotting to PM~

<3 just letting you know that

but it might take me a few days to get my brain in order x.x
I'm working on a few other plots in the mean time, but wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten! *flails*

Just tossing yet (another) one of my characters on this page (for the record).
Was having so much fun with Leif and his masked alter ego threads, I figured- heck, it'd be fun to toss his sister into the war plots for some drama (since it's presumed she's dead.. or worse..)

SoooOO,
Meet Attalia Arrant (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15556.msg155397#msg155397), a presumed dead 'lady' that might be the key to coaxing out some known suspicions that the church is up to 'no good' as far as 'behind the scenes work' on mage experimentations.
Should be fun!

Post by: visualspice on October 29, 2013, 08:14:19 PM
As a reminder, those looking to join the Civil war plots, we are always looking for knights and soldiers, elite mordecai, members of the church, mages and their families who might be oppressed, dirty politicians, lesser (and even prominent!) nobles (there's still, I believe, one duchy left to be claimed!) as well as slots still open in the magnificnet Treyburn Family (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15270.msg149566#msg149566).

Post by: Ivory on November 02, 2013, 07:18:53 AM
Uh...  I don't think there's any summary that will do the shenanigans justice, Spice!  D:  But let's do this...

The ball is an important event for the Treyburn Family.  This is the first public event at which Braxton will attend with his recently-deceased father's title, and there is no better time for Cherie to make her debut to society.  But keeping the Treyburn Family in line is harder than it looks -- especially when their banished sister Jana is to sneak into the ball beside them.

Like another 'fun noble family (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15270.msg149566#msg149566)'- I've created another (smaller) family with it's own set of quirks.
Meet the Callisters!
Davishire (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15570.msg155784#msg155784), Davina (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15569.msg155780#msg155780) and 'Dreyton'

*And as usual, I'm always up for plots with my characters, especially political, romance, drama and the likes! So don't hesitate to shoot ideas my way :D
Also, note, 'Dreyton' is just a place holder name for Paradox's character to be XD

Cause I'm just that snazzy!
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on November 07, 2013, 05:49:49 PM
Looking to get in on the Connlaoth Civil War?
I have a fewlot of open characters I'd like to see played in the following sorts of scenarios:

(http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/Themes/default/images/english/new.gif)Lady Attalia Arrant (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15556.msg155397#msg155397)- LOOKING FOR LOVE!
As it normally goes with my characters, I love pairing them off for potential romance and things! Currently, the 'assumed dead' Lady Attalia has been rescued by her brother and his masked associate, Audric Molneux, the current Duke of Allar. She's developed a crush on Audric, though he's married (so it's obviously not to be!) 'Attie' is very sweet and head strong, and I wouldn't mind plotting with someone for a potential romance prior to her being taken away from the church, then afterwards. Or even something developing between her and someone new! Got ideas for her? PM me!


(http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/Themes/default/images/english/new.gif)Lady Davina Callister (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15569.msg155780#msg155780)- LOOKING FOR SCANDAL! (and a rich chump for a husband!)
Lady Davina is considered a spinster, as she prowls the waters of the upper class like a shark, going from men to men seeking the 'perfect' husband- which means he has to be rich, classy and have status. Picky as she is, she loves to flirt and flaunt herself, and hasn't quite found the right man for her, all the while she's goading her own two brothers to boost their own selves up in society. Got ideas for her? Check out her debut thread 'Queen of Spades (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15582.0)' if interested!


(http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/Themes/default/images/english/new.gif)Lord Davishire (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15570.msg155784#msg155784)- LOOKING FOR LOVE! (begrudgingly!)
Davishire hates woman, if only because he sees them as little more than bubbly headed bimbos (because most he met, are!) They are tactless and deceitful (just look at his sister (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15569.msg155780#msg155780)!) and he hardly has time for their games! That being said- I'll say this bluntly...
I'm looking to pair him off with a woman he can argue with and, over a long period of time, find out, begrudgingly, that he's in love with her! The only stipulations are that this woman is very refined, perhaps a bit snobbish, and has got a lot of wit and personality- someone that can basically handle a man as intimidating as Lord Davishire of Wellspeer and not completely flinch at his roars! Interested? Don't hesitate to send me a PM!

(http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/Themes/default/images/english/new.gif)Lord Edward (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15572.msg155789#msg155789)- LOOKING FOR LOVE!
Edward is completely selfless, putting others first and has mixed views on the war. While he supports his country, he wouldn't think twice about helping anyone in need. His wife died rather recently, and he's trying to cope with the loss while raising their daughter, an infant named Britta (named after his late wife). Interested or got an idea for Edward? PM me!


Looking for People to Spy on? Check out one of these characters!

Grand Duke Calent Allarrick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13795.msg116719#msg116719)- LOOKING FOR A TAX BREAK! (and true love?)
What's not appealing about trying to find out The Grand Duke's deep, dark secrets? As a man who barely sleeps due to nightmares that plague him, he is completely unaware that, while he is waging a campaign to help eradicate his nation more thoroughly of the mage population, that he himself, is in fact a mage... and the sort of powers he houses are dark and dreadful.

Krah (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14744.msg136491#msg136491)- LOOKING FOR TROUBLE! (and money... and women...)
Having been sought out by the military for his ruthless tactics and mordecai ability, this soldier, who's coined as the 'God of War'; has become quite famous since his 'victory' at Havanlaar, where it was documented he killed over 100 marked mages. I'd be willing to start threads with him involving spies wishing to gain information; but be warned- he's a pig of a man!

Lady Valia (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13959.new#new)- LOOKING FOR TROUBLE! (and a fling?)
As the younger sister to the Grand Duchess (and quite a brat by nature), I'd be willing to entertain a thread with her possibly being swindled by a spy (or even romanced!) Fair warning, she's boy crazy and a bit obsessive with pink!

Vesrik Delcheux (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15502.msg154418#msg154418)- LOOKING FOR TROUBLE!
As the Grand Duke's visor, a role that pre-dates his duties in the capital, Vesrik is a sniveling pig, working behind the scenes (even unbeknowest to the Grand Duke) where he's making money off of selling mages to radical church groups for experimentations, or elsewhere over seas... Though he keeps his secret pretty well concealed, he's a large man, so he leaves large footprints to follow...



Looking for someone to spy with (or spy on your character)? Check out one of these characters!

Jinai Rinstgate (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14308.msg127701#msg127701)- ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME
Definitely one of my more popular characters, Jinai is a spy, and a very good one. She elects to do the most difficult missions she can, as she has this insatiable driving force to always tempt death. Having no real 'friends', it's difficult for her to ever remain in one place for too long, or with one person. Jinai can adapt to most threads, be they a simple infiltration of a royal party, or something a bit more dangerous. And because Jinai is always looking for a way to escape, you can normally find her, getting high on opiates, with the whores at the local brothels.

Renna (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14886.msg140190#msg140190)- LOOKING FOR A BREAK!
She's a courtesan with the unique ability to 'see' through animals. Meaning, if she connects with a mouse, she can use that animal and spiritually merge with it via her magics and 'see' what the animal sees and 'hear' what the animal hears. It's a lovely gift to have when you're a spy, and on top of that, she's a woman for sale! Looking to give your royal a good time and then have her sneak off with his/her information? Then she's your gal! Also, I might consider threads with her where she's found out as a mage and exposed.



Misc. plot ideas:

Killian Gryst (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13788.new#new)- LOOKING FOR LOVE?
Killian is a new soldier, and I'm up for any threads involving him coping with civilian life v. army duties. I'd even consider throwing love in the mix! He's a young guy and just wants to do what's right, and always dreamed of becoming a soldier- a knight specifically. But he's finding out the meaning of 'Be Careful What you Wish For', as the realities of war are just beginning to set in.

Odessa Flanoa (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13970.new#new)- LOOKING FOR FRIENDS! (maybe love?)
Odessa feels like an outsider, living as an elf in Connlaoth is hard, especially considering the sort of magic she possesses. Fearing that she'll harm others, Odessa is currently reaching out to the church in hopes for a cure... Lest her power flares up again and she destroys another town....

Kella Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14367.new#new)- LOOKING FOR LOVE!
Looking for love... yes, but it might prove a difficult feat, for Kella is 'cursed' with a sort of magic where, if you touch her for an extended period of time, she'll suck your life force clean out of your body! (In layman's terms? It means yer dead DX)  Kella is sweet and kind, but her brother went off the deep end when he murdered a man by touching him with this life sucking ability, and now he houses this deranged man's memories inside his own. This certain lunatic was in love with his sister, and now, at times, Blaith suffers the same thoughts. She was almost raped by her brother when he had a mental episode, and is now on the run, hoping to find a safe haven of her own.

Blaith Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724;topicseen#msg128724)- LOOKING FOR A PARTNER IN CRIME (and maybe some lust!)
Saving the bet for last... Blaith Harmond was the 'trigger' of this war. Having had a mental episode, Blaith managed to by pass the mordecai's power in the capital and killed the former Grand Duke in a massive explosion. I'm currently looking for female character to potentially be his partner... Someone out to gain something from him and corrupt him her own ways. While I'm not looking for her to be powerful in magics, persay, I am looking at a powerful personality, someone that might be a bit crazy and help coax Blaith into doing the next horrible attack of the war...
Also, another fun fact about Blaith..
You can't touch him for very long, or you'll die. Yep. You read correctly, die. So PM me if you got an idea :D
He also has an open thread available here, titled Talking to Mirrors (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15231.msg148495#msg148495).


ANd as with any of these characters, if you see something and get an idea that might not be listed, PM. What I listed here are just some brief synopsis and ideas I'd like to see played out.

Oh, and since this is a war....

THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
[/size]
And I haven't decided WHICH yet, but definitely a few characters of mine won't survive to see the end of the war. <3 Should be interested to see which!
Anyways, PM me if you got an idea!
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on November 07, 2013, 06:04:10 PM
Today, ladies and gents, I'm going to talk to you about soliders. Yes, that's right, knights, fights and things! The war does NOT have enough of them. Sure, we've got oodles of spies and refugees, even elite mordecai but your regular, every day soldiers actually being forced out on the battle field doing epic fights against their brethren...


Is totally nonexistent in our current threads for the war!
That's one of the things that really made civil wards in the past horrifying is that your own enemy was your family in a lot of cases, and the results were very gruesome and scaring. A lot of epic tales can be coined from this idea, and I'd like to just point out that I'd be willing to do some extensive plotting with soldiers and soldier wannabes (and who knows, it might be neat to see things like 'Joan of Arc' or 'Mulan' ) type stories evolve from this, since, as the years go on and the number of available men dwindle, a few women might be allowed to slip into the ranks!

But yes, my fellow SOTE companions, this little post is just to bring up and (perhaps) stir some interest in any of those out there who would like to try their hand at playing a soldier and want to get themselves involved in some gruesome and eye opening battles.

Sound fun? Let me hear your ideas! Post them here or PM me!

I'd think it'd be interesting to see the Church take a more active and militant role in the war.  Faith would certainly be challenged in times like this and possibly be apart of the reason many people choose to fight.  And no doubt be plenty of religious orders (Order of St. Agratha and other Knighthoods, etc,) vying for power amongst each other and against mages and it'd be interesting to see church-goers, priests or just ordinary people, enter into battle.

Kella Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14367.new#new)- LOOKING FOR LOVE!
Looking for love... yes, but it might prove a difficult feat, for Kella is 'cursed' with a sort of magic where, if you touch her for an extended period of time, she'll suck your life force clean out of your body! (In layman's terms? It means yer dead DX)  Kella is sweet and kind, but her brother went off the deep end when he murdered a man by touching him with this life sucking ability, and now he houses this deranged man's memories inside his own. This certain lunatic was in love with his sister, and now, at times, Blaith suffers the same thoughts. She was almost raped by her brother when he had a mental episode, and is now on the run, hoping to find a safe haven of her own.


She should meet up with Alastrom and Alanna. :3

I'm still digging the idea we discussed (a bit) last night about them possibly heading for the border and run into one another when a riot breaks out- and causes another slaughter, like the Havanlaar thing~

I'm thinking of possibly adding a conscription to the war (draft). [this is for the later years, like way after the masked ball (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15587.0)...] It probably won't be Connlaoth wide (perhaps duchy to duchy, though heavily pressed by the Grand Duke to those duchies to 'show their support' and is more or less a 'you'd better do this or you'll get a cold shoulder from the capital), but I'm thinking it'll atleast force houses (noble, poor or other wise) to send the eldest men in their homes to war (even if others are already enlisted..) to keep numbers up as the fighting continues- to add a bit of unrest to an already battle torn kingdom. Also, if this goes into effect, any and all mordecai will be forced intot he war, (or those with similar powers) regardless of age and gender (well age- minus the super young children, I think)

But yeah- thoughts?
I know Kleine and I have been plotting/talking about this idea in PM- but wasn't sure if anyone else might want to add two cents to this idea ^_^
plus, it might affect your characters, if you wish it so!

Post by: Ivory on November 16, 2013, 05:16:53 PM
Alternatively (additionally?), you can take a page from history and allow nobles to buy their sons out of the war with a great deal of money.  This would still force families with little money (like most minor nobles) to send their sons to war, while also collecting money from the richer families for the war effort.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on November 16, 2013, 08:31:27 PM
yes, yes- precisely! just some more ideas! Since the war is relatively new, there's a lot of dark themes that have yet to come to play-
and more importantly, ideas around the duchies potentially falling out of favor with the Grand Duke perhaps?

Definitely a lot of ideas to play with:
*Mage Camps
*Families being torn apart
*Secret Experiments through the church on Mages (in order to find a cure for magic!)
*Uprisings
*Conscription
*Duchies fighting other duchies
*More town slaughters
*And more dancing at balls to save face! 8D


So much to think about! I'm excited :D
and what's fun, alot of these can turn into shades of grade where good v. evil need not apply- but for men and women to choose the lesser of two evils....

Before anyone jumps into this event, I ask all new inquiries to please read the information page listed here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439).
*specifically, the FAQ section.  You should also have an extensive knowledge of Connlaoth and it's kingdom. The information for this is listed here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/connlaoth.php).
At this time, I'd like to keep any war related threads with Connlaothian characters only (though exceptions have been made, but they are few and far between). I want to stress this is a civil war, not a world war, as the country is warring on it's own people. If you're serious about wanting to jump in, you'll need deeper roots than some character that just wants to randomly show up to help. Each character involved currently has a well developed plot or history they aim to play that hits on all of the key points I'm looking for in running this event. So please consider this when inquiring.

All of the party (ball) threads are almost all pre-plotted at this time (not all information plotted is listed here, please keep that in mind!) as I'm working out a lot of the heavy plot twists and story scripts with other members I'm already rping with in very intricately 'woven' threads that are already being played out currently.

This idea you mentioned is actually (somewhat) of an idea that's already on the side burner~

Since I've been plotting with just about everyone *big sigh* I'm going to list a few of the 'future' events I've been working on, just so it's made aware XD

Not everyone will know what I'm talking about, but I'm sure you will if the thread/plot pertains to you XD
I'm placing them here so I don't forget (as currently, they're scribbled down on a piece of paper on my kitchen table at home)

(These are in on particular order, but all of these take place after The Masked Ball (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15587.0) event.


ANOTHER CITY SLAUGHTER (the slaughter of Havanlaar marked the first real battle of the war- this idea is to have a second similar slaughter occur, but where as the first one was simply a 'mentioned' event- this one will be played out!
(this one will be at the boarder near the ocean and Serenian border in the currently named duchy 'Stonehill' and may or may not be a semi-open thread for plots. So far, the characters involved with be Paradox's Alastorm and Alanna, and my character, Kella. This might potentially be open to other 'Free Folk' characters.

The Whoreship Bombing- A closed thread idea involving my and lion's characters Jude and Jinai. At the masked ball, the pair had discovered a list of ships that's to take some 'cargo' over seas. Basically, they found out the Grand Duke's visor is collecting mages meant to go to the camps and selling them off to slavers over seas! J & J are on the case to investigate this; using a fake wedding, a group of whores, and a whole lot of stolen gun powder to blow up the ships before they can take on any precious cargo!

Dealing with Secrets- during an innocent outing, Lord Avery and Lord Davishire find Davishire's cousin Winnifred on the run- though it's not what it seems! Though she feeds them partial truths she is on the run from her despicable fiance and the wedding that's closing in on her, in truth- she's running from that- and from the church who had recently been experimenting upon her.

The Big Ka-blooey!- another group thread that has yet to happen, this other 'party' will take place several months after the current Masked Ball. Here, the party won't go as successful as the other one, as a radical against the war is going to make a bang!

The Destruction of Reajh- I'm sure you are all aware of the Grand Duke's 'secret'. Though he is wholly unaware- this 'secret' of his will become exposed but along with it, the entire city of Reajh will suffer! (*Please note, this plot will NOT happen for a long time, just posting it here so as to make note of my idea so I don't forget it XD ) More to come!

Conscription- As the war gets worse, more men are needed to fight against the uprisings. A draft is put into effect, forcing the eldest male in each family (minus the sick and elderly) to join arms.
This idea can affect many stories! So keep it in mind :D
The only thread I'm plotting to have this affect, at the moment, is something for Dahlia 'Treyburn' Gray and Lord Edward's future- where (assuming all goes well) this newly wed couple will have to deal with Edward being forced to fight in the war.

Reclaiming the Duchy of Ardal- A long quest is to be put into motion for Duke Conall Shanley to 'come back from the dead' and claim his rightful throne from his despicable Uncle Cormac.

The Fall of the Callister's- I'm thinking, due to the devilish plots and webs Lady Davina and her younger brother have been concocting, she'll eventually become so entangled that she's going to eventually be caught. I'll omit the details, but assume a lot of scandal is to be had! And she wouldn't mind wrapping her finger around your character if it means securing her own plans. When this happens, it'll create a permanent black mark on this family since a lot of horrible things will become exposed.

Uthlyn Uprising- While the whole country of Connlaoth is writhing with unrest, it would be fun to role play out an uprising in Uthlyn- where scholars, the poor and suffering, mages, etc band together to fight against the guards in attempts to over rule them. Also, for those who are not aware, there is a 'secret city' that lays well beneath Uthlyn that the mages have been using as a safe haven as they travel south to Serendipity to escape persecution from the war.
THis is also an idea that won't happen quite yet as the ideas are still in the works.


Just putting some thoughts together here. No one has to really reply to it- just listing ALL THE THINGS D8
And I do have other plots, but they're not all developed enough yet to post here.

You can also find information about them listed here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/connlaoth.php#mord).
But mordecai are already part of a two sided coin. Mages cast magic- and their opposing force in the world are the mordecai who COUNTER/BLOCK their magic. Mordecai themselves, are not mages- but more or less 'anti-mages'.
Hope that clears it up!

Hey Spice, you know my demon invasion?

(Don't worry, I'm not asking to join, although when it happens the Grand Duke will likely get a very nasty visit from Kirnardaz)

I was just wondering how we would co-ordinate our events relative to each other? Obviously, as big as your civil war is, a huge invading force of demons would scare the populace just a bit more. I was just curious as to how to work it out, because none of my Demon Invasion threads have taken place in Connlaoth yet.

I wasn't saying involved, I was saying how do you want to go about co-ordinating them so that Kirnardaz doesn't ransack Reajh before you do it in the concept idea you posted, things like that. Kirnardaz needs a reason to stay away. I was curious as to if you wanted that as a special reason, or simply because the guard force is well trained.

I'm just trying NOT to get involved with the civil war. Reajh will be invaded at one point or another. Just not sure when.

so this civil war is basically like the holocaust? did you know Hitler also wanted to kill off all the gypsy people as well as multiple other ethnic group not only the Jews? just saying

personally speaking a demon invasion would come when you don't like it or when humanity is at it's worse demons draw power from misery and suffering but i understand you don't want it in your event just thought i'd say that :P

I know a lot about history- it's the thing I do in my free time >.>
I have more history books than a normal person should own XD
But, obviously, I'm borrowing from other stories/history to make this civil war seem real and true to the nature of Connlaoth and what civil wars are all about. And not all people in these camps are mages- and the mage camps aren't even the worst of things. So yeah, fun times!

House Rodric is the ruling house of the duchy of Folkvar (formerly known as Stonehill) . They pledge fealty to the Grand Duke and the Duke of Folkvar himself is on board the anti-magic and mage suppressing train.

Hello civil war thread. My character: Atirax Chaostracer (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15695.0), is looking for a Duke to serve under, where he can slaughter mages as he pleases.

He has a deep rooted hatred of mages, is a complete tyrant, and will probably overthrow whichever Duke he is put under and try to start an all out genocide.

Obviously, if he were to take over a duchy with that Duchy's Duke's permission, he would be overthrown by someone else (be it rightful owner, or just the person he overthrew (Ahem, Vincent, I believe your character fits my description perfectly, lol)).

So.

Any takers?

Soules (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15720.0) is a loyal (for now) and well trained soldier. I'm looking for ether a authority figure to send him on a mission to kill mages or some fellow soldiers to join him in said mission.  Over the course of the story arc he would start to question the morality of this war. At a later point I want Soules to become a mage sympathizer.

Soules could be under Atirax's command? That would be interesting to see. And to find a duchy he can temporarily take over when he finds that the Duke of that duchy has been persuaded to be pro-mage.

if we can contrive a compelling reason why Soules might be temporarily transferred under Atirax's command I could see how this could work out.  As ruthless as Atirax is it would give Soules a good reason to rethink his part in this war.

Ajhfeld is the only unclaimed duchy. Here's my suggestion: keep it that way. Leave it open for people to do as they please with it (within reason). Make it the sandbox duchy.   The ruling house doesn't need to be named and neither does the duke/duchess . They can be nameless npcs.

So, if Bris cannot find someone to take his general, he can always just take over Ajhfeld temporarily. And I say temporarily because Ajhfeld , as a sandbox, should belong to everyone. ^^

Just my two cents.

Maybe Atirax orders a mage that Soules knew did nothing wrong executed?

Oh, Spicy! Hoping you get better and get home soon!

I was also holding off until you weren't so overwhelmed, but since you asked, Vivi and I have a war-related thread.

Of Malady and Mortality (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15571.0) Haunted by the recent death of her husband, Dahlia Gray seeks aid at the apothecary of Barnabas Low. Instead, they find a young, fugitive mage hiding from the city guard. 2-3 years before the Masked Ball.

I agree that Ajhfeld should remain open and unclaimed.  It makes sense to leave one opened as Paradox said.

Hey, everybody.  It's me!

I'm either lazy or blind or possibly illiterate, so I am posting my question here...  I'm considering making an evil mage type...because they can't all be sunshine and roses.  This particular mage is extremely anti-Church, but, generally-speaking, he is enjoying the chaos and will incite both sides of the Civil War.  (He seems to be primarily anti-Church, and he doesn't seem to care too much about Calent's reign.)

Anyway, I'm just wondering if there are any plot ideas drifting around out there in need of such a character...

I'll work on a character if this sounds like someone people might like to RP with in any capacity -- like terrorist activities!

Ivory, if your character wanted to be in league with a certain Treyburn (more specifically, Corey) then I'm up for it, although we can plot that elsewhere.

Perhaps he's the mage that killed Atirax's family?

Ivory, I might have some plot ideas for you. I'm working on a guerilla band(s) of mostly mages escaped from the camps. (My characters involved in these plots will be Olive and Silas, in sig). They're not "evil," but will probably end up doing some fairly bad things. (Hey, it's war, what fun is it if otherwise decent people aren't driven to do terrible things?)

I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet, but I'll put more coherent ideas here later when I do!

Shadows of the Grave (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15740.0)
Characters: Mercuxio and Aster Delancy
Timeline: Two months after the Grand Ball

Summary: A church is desecrated by a rogue mage and Aster Delancy is assigned to track him down.  Mercuxio is sent to assist her in his capture and interrogation.  And what they may find is that the rebellion is larger than anyone could have imagined.

My character, Blaith Harmond approves. Who knows, those two would always end up working together somehow. *shrugs* I won't know much more into it until Is have time to.discuss things with you, which won't be until later this weekend when I'm releaesed from the hospital.

So many replies!!  *_*

Bris: Isn't Corey with the Free Folk?  The Free Folk, while an awesome place to hang, are definitely not the type of organization for Mikko.  (I totally named him after my favorite hockey player.  I'm so cool!)  And I don't know anything about the other character...

Kleine: Yay for plotses!  I'm building him to be kind of an enigma and walking contradiction.  I was working on him last night but couldn't put my thoughts forth very well, so I gave up.  Externally, he creates chaos; internally, he's a very rigid and disciplined man, which would give him the ability to work with a group so long as said group is organized!  Briefly, he's a brilliant tactician and a trained soldier.  His magic is bit odd, but I sort of like the idea of having it for story purposes.  Basically, he can create a temporary protective shield around a person or group of people as a final defense.  He definitely would have no qualms about stirring up good people to help him take down the Church...  Argh, I'm not explaining him very well.  Hopefully his profile will help once I get it up!

Spice: Yay for being hospital-free!  XD

Hey Spice! I know we haven't talked much about Belle and things with you being god-awfully sick and all, but I had an idea with her. Because she's pretty much pulling most of the strings all of the time, she's a pretty big fan of stabbing backs and letting other people actually do the stabbing. It goes this;

Belle steals something(s) from the Duke, irreplaceable, possibly something that is a symbol of his Right to Rule, something that no one can know is stolen or total anarchy, and something with a little dirt on it is good too, like taxes and things otherwise made to tread on the downtrodden.

Belle meets Nas's Character, Mephisto. They plot and scheme because he has something she wants, she also know's he's playing his own games (though not interested in the Civil War, the Mages, or the Grand Duke themselves).

She get's caught after some cat and mouse, and brought before the Duke because she's 'hidden' or 'given away' any of the said items stolen; killing her outright wouldn't be in their best interest, and she has a proposal.

Playing the 'innocent' card, she informs the Duke of a power far worse than she who plans to take the Kingdom down (ALL LIES), and he used her as a puppet to steal whatever she might have stolen. Belle gives away the only way to kill Mephisto and promises that she can set him up in a trap, but for a price (seeing as men cannot read her mind or emotions, Mephisto wouldn't have a clue), and (with her devilish charms XD) she persuades him that she knows she can get from him the whereabouts of the stolen items, and return them safely.

I kinda want her to be playing the Mages as well with the things she stole, but I'm not sure how just yet. Might convince both sides they have the upper hand, and bring them to a face-off while trapping Mephisto.

Belle isn't in it to swing the war so much as play it slightly to her advantage. The war itself would probably remain unchanged, and politically, it's only on the down-low stuff, so nothings really being moved about there. No one major being killed here without permission!

Nas has said about toying with the idea of 'killing off' Mephisto, and I thought it might be interesting to see if this could work.

Also thinking of my other character November finding information on an old relic that grants supreme power to anyone who posses magical abilities, and the Mages are aware of it's existence too, making for a crazy goose-chase to destroy it before they get their hands on it for the greater good of humanity XD

For posterity and terrorist activities (and now I'm probably on a watch list): here's Mikko Kerr. (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15810.new#new)

I'm not at all sure I wrote him up correctly, but there he is!  *flails!*
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Scythe-Nova on December 10, 2013, 11:58:17 PM
Hey Painter that last plot you had would actually be a possible reason to why Senka would want to be involved in this war :3

She of course wants the item for herself but to get at it she needs the war to rage at a specific place in Connlaoth, to maybe draw away it's protectors or something like that.

And i mean it's not like she'd use the relic for anything involving the war, i mean why ruin such a delightful war like that? No she would have grander schemes for that relic, involving the entire continent!

*Laughs maniacly*

Oh sorry, but yeah it gives her a reason to be in this war but not to stay in it. And even if she got her hands on the relic (Very much possible she does though) she would see that her involvement with the war would be irrelevant after she got the relic and just leave the war as is.

And if it sounds to overpowered for this war we could simply make so that the relic in question only has mundane and innate powers such as being an excellent catalyst for a ritual or something, just the kind of item Senka would want to get her hands on. And that it's guarded cause it has religious worth or something.

Give me feedback here :3
I'm flowing with ideas here!

Man, I have SO much to update @_@
Just wanted to post something here to let you people know I've not neglected this and additional plottings, I just haven't had the mental focus to do updates and anything of the like. But once I do make the updates to the timeline and character list and what have you, I will surely note it here X3

Also, to Painter- it might be interesting if something your character steals might upset the balance of power that's being hidden away inside the Grand Duke; and it has been briefly mentioned in his profile he had visited 'the fell' (unconfirmedly) at some point but perhaps he has a relic from it that he keeps on hand that, perhaps once she snipes (maybe it's some sort of ancient sword or what have you hanging on the wall); he finds the nightmares and things that plague him becoming increasingly worse, that maybe also coincides with a changing point in the war (where the mages actually, only then, begin to make a dent against the Connlaothian army)

but yeah XD

I'll add more thoughts later as they come but I was thinking something like this might work out well for your plot and it will help push the story along as well when it happens to domino effect certain events I have been preplottings for ~

:3
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: November on December 15, 2013, 02:33:48 PM
Oooh~ I like that idea Spice! Could be interesting indeed. I don't know how much you want Belle to fool around with the Duke (and Blaith as well, wasn't it?), but given the time span I'm aiming for between stealing the thing and giving Mephisto up, she might have to frequent wherever they're hold up in order the keep the Duke from spinning out of control too fast. And it fits perfectly, with the Mages getting the upper hand on Connlaoth, granted Belle also wants to have a coin in with them.

I kinda want Belle to play Kathryn, given her penance for murder and being torn between the high-life and travel, as well; Belle might try and slowly turn her on Calent after presenting herself as a well-versed traveler, feeding her visions of a life full of experiences. Though, bare in mind, I do want things to pretty much fall apart near the end, so it'd pretty much be up to you, me, and Ivory as to how far that can go.

But for the relic, maybe a crown of some kind? A sword would work too. I suppose it's not too much of a bother, as long as we can settle on the object itself.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on December 16, 2013, 04:30:22 PM
Well if Belle plays with Kathryn, she might also run into 'The King of Thieves' as well XD (just as a random comment, since Dekka (aka- the King of Thieves) is normally seen sneaking around with her... but yeah...
and I mentioned Blaith since he's a major opposing force to the Grand Duke, so he might possibly be the one to tip her off with some information against Calent, but we shall see
I be sleepy, so hopefully this isn't coming off as too rambly x.x

I'm just hoping Senka gets a piece of the cake here too :3

I've been wrecking my mind with all the possible stuff she could do in preparation for all that she's planning, I mean she plans years ahead of time sometimes even for as long as a 100 fracking years!

She know Patience... She knows Secrets... She knows Feelings and how to use them, She is Evil

SENKA! Accept no substitutes!

Just had to get that off my chest XD

Anyway Shoot me a Whisper(PM) and i'll let you on her secrets Spice, the things she know might get us to start that thread with Blaith and Senka, Maybe also that Thread with Senka and Feni'tat :3

Also Pain we'll plot a bit together about that Relic stealing thing eh? :3

Certainly! Also, I saw you posted on Nas's Corruption thread for Mephisto, we could throw that in there to? Senka and Belle could meet, then she could take her to Mephisto? I'm still working out a few details involving November Relic-hunting, but I should have something up soon as well as a little something else.

I'm talking to Nas on Wednesday so I'll have a word with him~

Post by: visualspice on December 17, 2013, 07:10:05 AM
yeah, we'll have to polish off these plotting ideas, but seems good XD
maybe this relic is a necklace or pendant or something, since, now that I think of it, if she steals something larger, it just might be harder for her to make off with it but who knows XD I'll have to think a bit more on it (maybe it would be hilarious if she had to steal something rather large, though he couldn't keep a large item on his person, so if the relic is awakening but subduing his darker magics unbeknowest to him) you'd think he'd have to be at least near it or have it on his person- so hrmm...
D: just something for me to think more on when my brains start working again XD

Also, I do have an open thread for Blaith if Belle or Senka want to stop by 'for a chat'- the man is partly delusional, so yeah, there that but just let me know and I can dig up the link :T

Thought I'd chime in with my character, Luc (see the signature below). I'm all ears if you have some feedback, or would like to somehow work him into a plot of yours, or if you want to embark on some shenanigans. He's a mage of questionable character and unsettled motives, who could easily switch sides at the drop of a dime, if it furthers his own needs.

Ok I *finally* went through and like, read and re-read the profiles I needed to that were posted and new XD
I don't have any big amazing ideas to pit with what is posted at this moment, but if something comes to me when I'm less busy (I'll be busy ish today and tomorrow) I'll let you all know, but feel free to continue to plot amongst yourselves X3

And to those I already owe threads/plots with, I'll try to get on that, again, next week <3
and hoping at that time I can update the info page (Finally...) >_>;

And in response to Bris, I know none of my duchies are available for such plots- they're already reserved for other ideas.

And about Ahjfeld- I suppose that's fine? XD I dunno? I suppose just let me know what's going down so that people aren't stepping on one another's toes! Just post ideas here if you guys got anything XD Just note if a duchy goes pro-mage- they'd more or less be decimated >_> the Grand Duke has supports from all duchies at this time XD (not saying this can't change, bwahaha)

But keep the plots coming! <3
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on December 31, 2013, 07:26:59 PM
Just going to post a few plot ideas here for the war (for those looking to get a leg, foot or toe in XD):

Katahnia Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13853.msg117668#msg117668)- As a voice of the repressed people, before being hunted down and dragged off by the Grand Duke's elite mordecai; Katahnia Harmond had become a voice of the repressed people. Day in and day out, she'd make her voice known throughout Reajh inquiring peacefully for the Grand Duke to relinquish his ban on mages and to reconsider the stricter laws.
What I'm looking for: Possible rps of her during the early stages of unrest where she's going around making a voice for herself. This would be soon after Calent Allarrick assumes the throne as Grand Duke.
I might consider other misc. encounters but depends on the idea!


Blaith Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724;topicseen#msg128724)
As the unknown catalyst of the war, Blaith is sitting back and watching how the events unfold- but what is a man as corrupt as himself without allies? Though Blaith Harmond is slowly losing his sanity, it would be interesting to have him make partnerships along the way. Though keep in mind, he's being discrete, and no one (at the moment) realizes he was the one responsible. He does have a small band of men beneath his command who he hires to help him hunt down his sister, and he has used this band of mercenary mage types and destroyed one of the mage camps up North- but the wrong intel. had him destroying the camp on accident- for his twin sister was not there.
Blaith has a thread available here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15231.msg148495#msg148495).
But it's by request and approval only~
So let me know if you're interested :3
I wouldn't be against someone who ends up siding with him and then using the fact they find out who Blaith is against him in the end or something to the effect *shrugs* Just some ideas!

Kella Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14367.msg128725#msg128725)- On the run since her twin brother went crazy, Kella may be available for some random encounters.

Jinai Rinstgate (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14308.msg127701#msg127701)- She's got a bounty on her head for being caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. As one of the supporters for mage equality, Jinai's a good character for misc. random encounters!

Krah (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14744.msg136491#msg136491)- As a famous war figure, the 'God of War' is always looking for a good time!

Renna Cartriste (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14886.msg140190#msg140190)- as a courtesan and spy for the mages (and a mage herself); I might be looking into a patron for her who can find out what she really is and possibly expose her (Might be interesting or make sense if the person who exposes her she is trying to spy on...! Just some food for thought)

I also have Attalia- a noblewman presumed dead, Davina- a woman looking for 'just the right man', and her brother Davishire (a grumpy nobleman) who might also be up for threads if the idea sounds intriguing XD
I also have Edward and Winifred as well as my other nobles, and Kentamin- a templar, who might also be available for play if someone can entice me with an idea. Their links are on the last line of my character listings in my signature~

The info page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439) has been updated!
Now the nobles page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148388#msg148388) should (key word, should XD ) have all of the most up to date lists of nobles and their marriage partners, etc.

I've also included a new summary page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148393#msg148393), that currently summarizes very briefly the events that have occurred so far and a hint of what's to come! (This page is really similar to the 'story' page, but slightly longer as it lists specifics and gives links to profiles and characters to know~)

I'll be working on updating both the character (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148385#msg148385) and timeline (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) page soonish, so if you haven't posted an active war related thread here that needs to be added to the timeline page, please do so now ^_^
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on January 03, 2014, 09:20:51 PM
New characters to add to the mix!
"Jack (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15949.msg165458#msg165458)" (aka- my Snowman!) who... you could probably also mock and call 'Jack Frost'- isn't on any side of the war but his own. As a mage himself, he works, ironically as a knight, but no one knows of his 'condition'. A man who talks to himself a lot and also keeps to himself, he's not exactly looking for friends!
Find his fun and fancy free open (by requests, only) his thread here: What Knight, Through Yonder Window Breaks? (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15950.msg165467#msg165467)
(the thread title amuses me greatly ;_; )


Also, I made a dreamer-ish character and non-mage, Ania (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15947.msg165439#msg165439)~
She'll write you a song... or book.. or something.. (but probably not really!)
She also really has no voiced opinion on the war.

I had an idea come to me last night.  A mage decides to take the offensive but in a most underhanded kind of way.  He starts providing the regular troops with weapons that mimic the magic canceling abilities of the mordecai.  The troops would think that they are getting weapons that have been blessed by Ansgar.  With these new weapons the Connlaoth army would commit more regulars to the field without the backing of the mordecai.  The catch is all the weapons are rigged to fail at the mage's command leaving bulk of the force on the field vulnerable.

The idea might work, but getting enough weapons to fuel even a small army brigade might prove difficult- especially since the majority of mages or their supporters aren't generally rich. And if they were to steal it, it might be evident it was stolen and the army would interrogate, though I'm sure with some polishing, such an idea could work for one of the may plot premises going on. Do you have some sort of character you think might be able to pull this off? Just curious :)

To answer some of the questions brought up about my idea.  Daerian would work nicely because she already has the contracts in place supplying the weapons to the army.  I had already been thinking it would have to be an inside job, someone who already had the means o produce arms on a large scale.

Next I need some more mages to help.  their would need to be a large enough rebel force to draw out a contingent of the Connlaothian army other wise the trap would not be worth the effort.  next thing that need ironed out is a location if anyone has a suggestion.

I don't know if you want to add this (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15931.0) thread between Nascent and myself. Belle has fled Connlaoth with a necklace she stole from the Grand Duke bestowed with the power to alleviate the effects of The Fell, and tells of it to Mephisto, probably falls just before the actual war-scale conflict starts. Similar to what I'm planning with the thread between Belle and Blaith.

Poor darling!

Here's the information for you about the thread I'm doing with Kathryn and Zerval (Dean.)  I was waiting until you felt better, because I didn't want you to feel overloaded!  <3

Flight of the Grand Duchess (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15717.0): The Grand Duchess's annual pilgrimage to Saint Solee's Cathedral takes a bitter turn when Kathryn is poisoned and her escort falls under attack.  ~2 months after the Grand Ball  Current characters: Kathryn and Zerval

Maybe you can get in on this when you feel better.  D:

Now, get off of SotE and take care of yourself!  *insists!*

Vries, do we know if this thread partner is still active? I think I'll wait to make sure he'll be coming back before adding this one- or should I just go ahead and add it anyway?

ATTN: To ppl rping as Dukes/Duchesses only (not minor nobles) I will (eventually) be needing from you, more detailed information about the duchies you are currently running. I'm going to be adding a section to the war page that has all of the duchies and their political views, what makes them unique, etc- but I'll post more on that later. Just want to get some feed back and give you all a heads up so you can start solidifying how you view those duchies XD


Also, I might be adding a new section to the info page regarding a list of all of the new laws in place during the war time period. If you have any suggestions for anything else that can make the information page easier for people to navigate, please let me know ^_^

Hey guys! I had an idea.

Given Krah's rampages and destruction of two cities, I thought a refugee problem might be interesting. Comprised mainly of women, children and the old, although a few deserters and draft-dodgers will certainly be present, they will slowly travel to the domain's of the Grand Duke to await his mercy.

They will set up a temporary camp at first, although they may commandeer a town or an old stockade if their situation becomes desperate... which it will. Mages on the run and other rogues may disguise themselves at refugees, to hide or bide their time. Essentially they will be a headache for Calent and a potentially useful resource for the Alliance.

If people are interested, I'll start a thread where a nucleus of them descend on a village. Then we'll travel to Matron's Hollow, settle, and then WHO KNOWS?!

PM me if you're interested!

Oh,I like this idea. My character, Katahnia (before she was captured and shipped off up North) had once been a spear head in the capital, right at the Grand Duke's store steps in hopes to peacefully ask for change. Would be interesting if she returned to help this group just as things were growing hostile, or that her name appeared, at least, as a symbol the Grand Duke could't shake. I'll think more on it~

I have a character, Malfrayne Zermuth, whom is a prominent playwright in the duchy of Allar.A lesser known fact about him is that he is, in secret, a pirate , spy and mage rights activist.

I'd love to rp him with someone or multiple people. Ideally, I am seeking allies, but I don't mind roleplaying with potential enemies and rivals because I do plan for Malfrayne to become an identified and highly sought after criminal . So I would welcome roleplaying with mages, mordecai, nobility, merchants , soldiers etc.

I also would love it if anyone might be interested in creating a character or joining a character to the crew of The Wayward Impulse, his ship.

If anyone is interested in this, please send me a personal message!

This is definitely a possibility :)
and I'm assuming you mean mordecai? Though technically, the entire war itself is making the nation seem more extreme. But it's very possible radicals among the nation, not even necessarily mordecai, might band together to thwart mage efforts, however, if one were so inclined to want to hurt mages- they could just join the army :)

Lol my typos are lol/lol and tool oil/coolio

I would start a character who would be an anti-Mage racist terrorist basically possibly a bastard of a noble who was killed by a Mage? Bastard so I don't have a title but income for money and mordecai weaponry as well as some of the false weapons given out? Which I or someone in the group could find out which would only fuel our hate for the mage's

@ Fenrir-
Yeah lol but phones are nice to post by if you don't have a computer in front of you and you're on the go.  But this idea is very possible :)
Not sure if the weapons thing is a go or not, I know it's been mentioned but I haven't seen much plotting aside from that but I'd be willing to offer my character Leif to possibly end up on the opposing side of this extremist group, especially if they begin to be a threat to his secret identity, the city and the secret about his sister, Attalia. Could be a fun thread :)
Though did you say you wanted him to be a mordecai or just a mage hater? If they were both mordecai it'd be interesting bu tyeah, just a suggestion.

Could also see if anyone else has any other ideas :)

Attention connlaothian soldiers, mercs and any mages (ones that might be imprisoned in a camp)! An event is still in the works but I'll be closing the door for participation soon but wanted to post once again that it is happening. This is by no means the last of the group events for the civil war, and I always encourage others to create their own, unique, one on one threads, too ^_^

So just a reminder, please check out the FORT ATTACK plotting there here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16012.msg167476#msg167476).

And for those curious about the ball thread, it's currently 'ON HOLD' at this time.

As a random through to stir interest for a possible mini-event (or just some threads)- would anyone be interested in something themed around one of the Connlaothian holidays? It may or may not lead into some sort of attack- not sure yet, but I wanted to post this idea before I forgot!

The idea that I get from reading the whole society part of the wiki, would attacking during a Holiday be a kosher thing to do?

I see certain holidays as being non violent or at least thats the vibe I get.

Connlaoth is about to get one of the worst winter's in it's history.

Wulfbauer Update

Hey guys! Due to my continued absence, I think I should free up the Duchy of Wulfbauer for someone who's actually active. Currently, the Duke of Wulfbauer is Harlow Carwick, father of my character Constance "Olive" Carwick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14815.msg138437#new). Since women can't inherit, the next-in-line is her second cousin Avery Carwick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15345.0) (and anyway, Olive is an outlaw mage on the run!).

Now, cut to the behind-the-scenes drama!:

Since war's a chaotic time full of unrest, Harlow (the current duke), has been assassinated by a rogue band of mage extremists. Tragic! Avery was "crowned"(? what happens when you're a duke?) as the new Duke of Wulfbauer and held the position for about a month. During this time, concerned about the affect the war is having on the country, he began to scale back the deportation of Wulfbauer's mages to the camps and the general mage hunt, but cited resources and didn't make a clear statement for or against the Grand Duke's policies. A man of the people, though, Avery stayed with his troops in the war, and was killed in battle, leaving Wulfbauer with no clear successor for the Duke.

Have at it! Obviously anyone interested in taking this position will have to go through Spice/Rhi/Tally. Also, I hope to play Olive more in the future, so potential interesting plot potential there for whoever takes this role!

Have fun!

Cheerio,
Kleine

Another update!
The Story Page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148383#msg148383) has also had itself nicely updated :)
Very brief and to the point and does not have the main events but summarizes the war itself up to this point as concisely as possible.

But, as updated earlier this year (and also- just a few minutes ago I added some things and new links as well...)- the new Summary Page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148393#msg148393) takes all of the major current events in the war and summarizes them there- complete with some links :D So it's LIKE the story page, but more specific in what it summarizes.

Just posting it so you guys are all aware of the updates.

For those of you rping a duke (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148388#msg148388) and run a duchy- please post up a summary or info page on your current duchy so I can add it to a NEW and UPCOMING 'DUCHIES' page to the war info~
This has been long over due and I was going to have everyone try to make their pages all the same but then I realize I'm lazy and you really don't have to make them all the same XD

PM me or post here if you got a major duke running a duchy and have any questions. I'd like to get the ball rolling on this. I think the PLOTTING PAGE should suffice for a location for placing this information :)

You might want to PM Rhi on this one as it could open a war between Connlaoth and Serendipity >_> and I'd rather not trek on that :T
any other ideas?


Also ana, just a heads up ont he regent position- since the dude never PMed me, I'll re-look over Lucien at some point this week (probably this evening or tomorrow, kind of buy :T )
Seems like you're likely to get it so we can start plotting things soon <3
My thoughts on this position are that before Lucien was given the position, the regent position was a revolving door since Grand Duke Allarrick is so picky with his close, political peers. Vesrik, his visier (who's link is in my signature) I'm thinking may have suggested Lucien for the position, konwing his reputation (to some degree) and knowing full well he could manipulate Lucien if he had to.

Vesrik has alot of shady company no one knows about, and Lucien would be watched day in and day out (as any man of this position would be)- so any wrong step Vesrik would use against him to either have Calent get him fired (which, mind you, if he does ANYTHING wrong, would probably get him fired, or so the rumors are said XD )  OR, he'd use his mistakes against him to keep Lucien beneath his clutches.

Any jobs or events for the regent have to go through me- or you can assume Calent will not approve. However, that doesn't mean you can't do something anyways, just know there can be consequences since this is a position chosen by the Grand Duke- so he won't stand for people who are ignorant or disobedient to the crown.

<3 so with that being said, start tossing ideas my way, either here or via PM :3
woo for plotting >D *rubs hands together*

Only people who she finds over step their boundaries. And she makes it very clear with a long, low growl, and lots of sarcasm.

And yes, plotting! So. The beginning of negotiation of trade routes? Or the simple meet and greet?

Post by: visualspice on April 22, 2014, 09:05:23 AM
Just as a friendly reminder, any major going ons in Connlaoth are not presumed to be apart of the war event unless discussed with me. As mentioned in the FAQ section, Connlaoth is still a creative playground and the event is just in place for those who wish to have it affect their characters ^_^
So if anything is going on that's major, you can presume it happened years prior to the event~

That being said >_> if your thread is not on the timeline and is meant to be there (or your character added to the character list...) let me know so I can keep the page as updated as possible <3

Okay, I added him.

And there might not ever be a 'victor' XD
I've been working on some ideas for 'the end of the war', but not all the details or how it will directly affect Connlaoth as a whole when the war finally comes to an end- <3

So for all we know, this war, which has been going on for about 8 some years now, might go on for another decade or so, so keep that in mind :D this is an event that is pretty large (in what area it affects and how muhc time it affects in Connlaoth's current history)

Also, we need to plot for Lucien and how he gets his position XD I forget, did I PM you my ideas, Ana?
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Anadwen on April 22, 2014, 09:27:43 AM
I dunno, I forgot, too XD

but we can plot if you wanna. Lucien is a sly and damn clever guy that will do whatever to get out with his own hide safe, and with a bunch of money, so take that into account... also, he won't get manipulated. he's the puppet master XD

so I guess that would be how he got the position. manipulating someone to give it to him.

Actually, I was thinking Calent's current adviser, Vesrik (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15502.msg154418#msg154418), may have suggested Lucien for the job. Vesrik is a puppet master himself, doing a lot of behind the scenes work the Grand Duke is not aware of- so anyone in a position near him Vesrik will watch (or have his men watch) like a hawk. So it could be totally fun having their egos collide :D

The position as regent, since he's coming into the story so late- I was going to have us presume was like a revolving door- since Calent has trust issues and it may or may not (to some) be perceived as a joke position. So it could be a cool thing for Lucien to play off on if he wants to prove his stuff and what have you <3

But also be aware, the position, if he messes up, he could be fired from, or worse :T hanged if he's caught doing things against the Grand Duke's laws/ wishes.
So could be a lot of fun <3

Post any ideas here so maybe we can keep track of them better since you and I apparently have forgetful brains  8D

We could do a meet and greet if you wish, Bris~ and it could lead to a possible talk of a trade route XD might not go anywhere but it can definitely become apart of the dialogue <3
Did you want to start a thread? I know I owe a bunch of posts/ new threads already, so if you've got the time- I won't mind if you want to start the thread. Could post something in the Grand Duke's palace or just Reajh~

Post by: Brisinger987 on April 22, 2014, 12:54:28 PM
I'll put something up in the Grand Palace and PM you a link, I'll have it start with discussions about trade routes, and perhaps move Viara onto heavier subjects, like the civil war, and actually make it clear that Serendipity will not send aid to either side because of their stance on magic or something.

And, Spice... In the wake of this civil war, do you think tensions would be very, very high surrounding mages, and if a Shade were to come and take over Reajh, how would the public react? Another mage purge, or just scared?
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on April 22, 2014, 01:17:17 PM
Uh, what's your definition of a Shade? Just confused how anything magical could do anything to affect the city, due to the increased mordecai and adhara presence in the capital. It's possible to discuss something like this for a future event, but as it stands now, I'm still working on a few major events I'd like to see come to fruition before that could even happen. We have a really long, cold winter ahead in Connlaoth, that could, perhaps in the year or two it's over, lead to something like what you mentioned possibly happening- but as it stands now, I'd prefer to keep things among the people of Connlaoth rather that large, outside sources coming in to terrorize them :P

But not to say I'm going to completely say no to the idea XD it's just going to have to wait before I'd allow it to happen if it's to be a civil war event (plus you and I would have to discuss the particulars).

For now, I'd say get something involving Viara up and we'll go from there :)
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Brisinger987 on April 22, 2014, 01:23:12 PM
I mean after the civil war is over, how would people feel, would there still be high tensions and persecution or would it be more equal? Because my definition of a shade is the Paolini version, a sorcerer/summoner who summoned a demon too powerful, and got possessed. Only, in this case, the demon isn't your average "chaos and blood" demon, more of a "lets wreck a country the long and dangerous way" demon.

And of course, I will get that Viara thread up.

Post by: visualspice on April 22, 2014, 01:39:59 PM
@ Bris, I can't say for sure how Connlaoth will be after the war is over- but the war will by no means cure any bad feelings towards mages. And anti-magic feeling or not, if that were to happen ANYWHERE, people would be upset :P

Also, on this note- ALL threads in Connlaoth will not be presumed to be apart of the civil war unless posted on the plotting page here. If your post or event would affect Connlaoth as a whole, it needs approved by me. Other wise, it's assumed the thread that's going on is during the time prior to the civil war (especially in any major cities). Thanks!

Hear ye, hear ye!

In the Autumn of the Eighth Year of Grand Duke Calent's Reign, the Grand Duke's home duchy of Allar has suffered a terrible flood.  Located on the coast of the duchy, Allar [the capital city] was extensively damaged when the harbor walls collapsed and allowed seawater to flood into the city.  Hundreds have been killed.  Some remain missing and are presumed dead.  Many, many more Allarrians are without shelter and must endure the bitter cold autumn nights beneath the stars.  Even the Duke has been put out of his home; until the waters recede, the palace is uninhabitable.

Duke Molneux has asked his citizens help each other through this difficult time.  People with nearby county estates or homes that remain undamaged have been asked to take in as many women and children as they can.  To help those left without food, the Duke has already purchased food from the winter stores for distribution.  It seems even in this time of crisis, he is aware of the impact such a large reduction could have in the coming months, for the food has been carefully rationed.  Those close to the Duke claim that even he is eating porridge and day-old bread, and he has promised to help rebuild the city with his personal fortune and his own two hands, if necessary.

The city of Allar flooded when the harbor walls cracked, then suddenly gave way, according to official reports.  Speaking to citizens, however, reveals a different story.  Witnesses claim the city, particularly those areas near the palace, were flooding well before the walls broke down.  Others claim to have seen water flowing uphill into the palace gardens in a decidedly unnatural way.  Was magic involved?  Is Duke Molneux, a man known to be as dedicated to the eradication of the mage threat as the Grand Duke himself, hiding something?  Is it his humble beginnings that drives Duke Molneux to dedicate his time and his money to helping the common Allarrian, or is he trying to make amends for covering up a dark secret?

Officially, the flood was an unfortunate, but natural event...but many Allarrians still have questions about the events of that day.  This crier will keep you updated as we learn more.

-To add to Ivory's statement
SOME even have seen certain men in masks gallivanting about in the flood waters- but a lot just believe that's them being superstitious.

*cough- Audric and Leif- cough*

The thread where this happens takes place here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16395.msg178571#msg178571), for those interested in reading it!

But some random people believe the masked mordecai and the shrouded swordsman may have been there, but most people- as stated above, think that is too far fetched.

The Story Section (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148383#msg148383) of the information page has been updated to include the follow text:

Quote
In reaction to the mage camps, mage supporters have grown in number, though remain a secret among the masses. Though there is no unified group, mage support is apparent, and those that help, help where they can. Those that fight are a part of small, semi-organized factions who conduct guerrilla style tactics against the army in attempts to free repressed mages, and also in hopes to have their voices heard. Though they are not organized nor unified in any manner, the mage supporters remain strong in their groupings, like bands of families willing to die and protect those who have been wronged. They can only pray to Ansgar, or whatever deity they believe, that this tiresome war will come to an end.

I realize there was no explanation on how the mage side was organized anywhere on the information page. I hope this helps clarify how the mage side to this war works :)

I know the Timeline (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) needs updated, but maybe I'll get to that tomorrow or somethin' :T

I left out current events that have yet to happen (such as as the stuff going on with the new regent (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16563.msg184371#msg184371) as well as the Attack on Fort Dhagh (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16012.msg167476#msg167476).

Hopefully we'll get more mini-events to come.

I'd still like to host another Ball event in Hellvion (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16377.msg177994#msg177994) where it ends in a mage attack. If interested in this, let me know! It would be restricted in who could attend. Nobles only, and only nobles the Duchess Melora (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13800.msg116772#msg116772) would approve of. Poke me or PM me for more details XD

This event will probably happen in year 9, after the long winter and at the end of the spring thaw when things start to dry up and everyone is itching for a party after being cooped up for months! This event could possibly be where the new heir of Hellvion is announced, but we'll see! The event still would be a long ways comin' :T

The Character Page (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148385#msg148385) has been updated! With over 60 characters in play, this is definitely one of the most active and largely run (and longest run?) site wide events! SooOooo,t his being said I need all of your help to ensure I got everyone on there since the character section now includes LINKS.

That's right! Each character who is now involved in the Civil War is linked on that page for easy access ^_^
If you don't see your nobleman, if they're a Duke or part of the family of the Duke of a ruling family, follow the link provided under the High Nobility's section. If you see your character missing, post it here and let me know who is not there and I can fix it! :)

This page hasn't been updated in a while so I won't be surprised if some of them are missing :T

<3 Thanks in advanced for your guys help! Just post it here or PM me!

OKAY

@_@

The Timeline (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) is finally updated! If things seem out of place, are missing or you can't find your thread or are not sure if it's on there, let me know! I can fix or explain things (hopefully!)

As it stands, however, this is the most up to date as it's gonna get for tonight as I have only 3 more threads that I'm aware of to add but I gotta poke @Lion  and @Moonie for them for my threads with Ania and Jack x.x

Yeah but he's not Connlaothian. I'm really just looking for Connlaothians for the war since it's a civil war and want to focus on the strife between it's people.

I'm still working out the kinks on this character who's been in my head for a while but I hadn't gotten around to figuring out ways to flesh her out, but here she is- yet ANOTHER Connlaothian noble- Lady Helaina Boehman (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16990.msg196396#msg196396). I intend to have her involved in some Ajhfeld drama after the Duchy gets affected by the Duke of Turgall's attack.

Post by: visualspice on June 09, 2014, 12:47:17 PM
Looking for Some Plots?

Then look no further! The Connlaothian Civil War event houses countless numbers of sub plots of all kinds for members, old and new, to get involved with ^_^

The civil war may look daunting, but it has a lot of clear cut major events that are possible to have affected your characters, OR could entice you to make some new characters to play along with all of the fun dramas and adventures that await you!

While the timeline (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) may look terrifying, it show cases that a lot of people are interested in such an intricate plot- and it means you are more than welcome to post ideas or post here in hopes to want to jump in ^_^

Now you don't necessarily have to read up on all of the civil war events that have happened, I'm going to list a few here that will hopefully get your creative juices to want to be involved ^_^


THE GREAT FLOOD OF ALLAR CITY: The capital city of Allar, and the duchy the Grand Duke was originally from, had a massive flood destroy much of the land and claim many lives during year 8 of the war. The thread this takes place in was here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16395.msg178571#msg178571); and though that is not an open thread, you are encouraged to feel free to make your own threads and plots based on this event ^_^

THE BIG WINTER At the end of year 8, ALL of Connlaoth suffered a terrible winter that affected the ENTIRE country. Food supplies were low, the war was still as bloody as ever- so how could THIS affect your character into wanting to be apart of or against this war?

THE CONQUEST AGAINST AJHFELD  This is an event that is STILL going on! We welcome soldiers and supports of and against the war alike to join! More information about the fall of this duchy and the battle to come can be found here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16012.msg167476#msg167476)!- Although the page says it's closed to knew submissions, if you have a good idea and want to jump in, now is the time before the big battle begins so toss your ideas my way to see if it can work!
Also, since Ajhfeld is going to be 'conquered' by the lesser Duchy of Turgall- it IS possible for anyone wanting to participate in how the people of Ajhfeld feel about being conquered during this winter. A lot of people would have died, nobles are shamed and upset (some even kept under house arrest or made prisoners)- so there's a lot to play with in there even if you are not up for joining the battle! There is much drama to be had!
I also have a character from the nobility of Ajhfeld who I could use a plot or two (perhaps some family plots, etc) to get some darker plots started there. Check out my character Helaina Boehman (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16990.msg196396#msg196396) if interested.


These are just some suggestions, I'll post some more as they come to me but don't hesitate to contact me or post in response to this post if interested!

Alright! I have a character up that I'd like to put forward, named Josiah Fraser (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17162.0). He's ex-Connlaothian military, and after being arrested and sent up North on false charges of being a mage, he escaped from one of the mage camps, and went rogue. He has become a mage sympathizer as an effect of his time in the mage camp, so I feel that he would either a) escort mages out of the country or b) raise a small army of mage supporters and fight a guerrilla war.

We're seeking only Connlaothians for the event at this time. He also seems a bit too OP, and his relevant ties to Connlaoth more or less don't exist (from what's presented in the profile)
However, if you want to make a Connlaothian or someone connected to that country, let me know :)

Most of this is explained on the info page found here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439), (as indicated in the F.A.Q. (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg194244#msg194244) section)

Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: SilmeriaElemred on October 05, 2014, 05:17:41 AM
Not sure if it is going to be of any influence/ being noticed. So figured I'd ask

Silmeria currently is in the Sirantil Valley with Murmur (Scythe-Nova) and Clyde (Pixie)
She is in humanform and in order to do so she uses magic (constantly a little bit but the costs for that are less then how much she replenishes in the same time)
Not sure when (or if) they will arrive in the capital or a different town but I am sure that her using magic despite this small will be noticed? She has done some awfull things throughout her life (see her profile to see what I refer at) so those whom have studdied history or heard some stories etc could know about her, that is up to the owner of the character (obviously)

but being in the valley and having used magic (not just her, Clyde and Murmur too) would that be well. noticed?

it is a war against mages so... mages being there...
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on October 05, 2014, 05:59:04 AM
 That's completely up to you and your thread partners. The sirantil valley is large, so its possible no army  or lawmen might be around.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: thehiddenbeast13 on October 05, 2014, 09:11:08 AM
True, but then again there is always that small chance that someone could be someone traveling by the valley while they're traveling. Just like spicy said it completely up to you and your partner. And I hate to say this, but is it too late to use a different character who uses magic to keep a human form?
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: SilmeriaElemred on October 05, 2014, 09:35:35 AM
It basicly just struck me xD
It is also in Sil's profile that in order to maintain her humanform and does not reveal herself to be a phoenix, that she uses magic.

not entirely getting your sentence though Hidden. Too late for what now?

even so it is a large valley. Would their use of magic be noticed those who had would be needing time to reach the place they are currently crashing at at the moment anyway ^^'
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: thehiddenbeast13 on October 05, 2014, 09:59:47 AM
Well maybe there are a few guards along the valley...I can't say for sure, but I'd say it would be pretty noticeable..

I just wanted to know if I could switch out Hano (A character I put up for the mages) For my newer character Bovil (Who would be along with the mages, except taking Hano's place)

And besides I think it wouldn't take much to notice a couple of magic users. Especially when one looks like a horse going down stairs when he walks. (Literally)
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on October 05, 2014, 10:03:44 AM
Again, it's entirely up to you and your thread partners. And since her magic is natural to her type of creature, you also get to decide if mordecai powers would even affect her. It defaults to affect basic magic and magic casting, but things that magical creatures need to live by are generally up to the player to decide (and probably should be noted in their profile)

Also, I'm confused what you're asking hidden, since the conversation at present is revolving around Sil's character and thread~
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: thehiddenbeast13 on October 05, 2014, 10:09:43 AM

You could see Silmeria's humanform as a disguise to be amongst 'normal' people. She does not require a human form to live. As for her magic, creating and manipulating fire and healing tears... will need to think about wether mordecai powers work on it or not.

But I am sure at least one person would have seen a phoenix descending from the sky and land somewhere in the valley though xD

I will think about it.
I had not discussed it with Pixie and Nova yet

Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Ethereal-Star on November 29, 2014, 12:54:09 PM
Um, hi here. I have a couple (minor) ideas. Not sure how they would directly fit in though, if at all. I think what I have in mind is more suited to indirect plots that would have very little if any effect on the war itself.

As for the ideas/characters: I know you said no god-like or uber characters however, I thought it might prove of interest to you to know of some side stories I hope to do with these two characters of mine in the sandbox style that this site is known for. Meaning that they would be separate to your event. The characters in question are an Angel of Peace and a Valkyrie. They are strictly sideline characters only.

The angel's role in this is trying to find a way to somehow end the conflict as she has a vested interest in this. She does not condone violence and will seek indirectly to heal any damage and turmoil that has been caused. Keep in mind she does NOT fight nor will she have any major influence either. I was thinking something along the lines of dealing with the war's aftermath and observing the duration of the war from the sidelines. Trying to serve as a source of peace and comfort in hard times or some such. But not having any major super powers that would undo all your hard work. For her, it doesn't work quite like that, it would be a long process with others like her working together from the background. Make sense? I don't actually have her profile up (yet) but I hope to soon. Then you can read it at your leisure. One of the main things about this character is that she does not directly step foot into a war zone as that is not her style. But more on the profile to come.

The Valkyrie though is a bit different. Since you are forbidding any outside influence in the case of fighting or direct support causes, this one will not be fighting either. However, her main task is to collect the souls of any slain warriors that she deems to be worthy to take back to Valhalla to prepare for the final battle between good and evil. There was one character I think is deceased from the war and I will have to PM that person to ask about potential threads regarding this. If they are even interested that is.

Just thought I'd mention all this for food for thought. I will admit I have not read all the info pertaining to the war (as there is a LOT) but I will hopefully get to most of it. Not sure if you want all the threads/story lines read too or just the main stuff. And reread the Connlaoth page too as I need to freshen my memory of it. I also would like the angel character to perhaps take a role/side role in the Essyrni slave uprising. But other than that, I have no other details regarding that at this time. I need to read the information first before I do add in anything else.

I'd love to know your thoughts on everything I've brought up.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on November 30, 2014, 10:15:06 AM
@Ethereal-Star  - something like that could work for sure! The reason the 'no god like' characters rule was implemented was because I wanted to keep the complexity of a well developed civil war in tact and not so easily resolved by the wave of a hand of a superior being :)

(I just love me some conflict >D )

It's a war, and during this sort of time period, these things dragged on- even well after one side would admit defeat- simply for the fact news moves slowly in this era, and also because not everyone would be so keen to just drop their arms completely because of how many years this war has gone on- and many of the scars run deep.

I'll think more on this and if I have more thoughts to add- I'll post 'em here! Feel free to do the same!

I've been a busy spicy since September @_@
But things are beginning to calm down- so yay for that!

@Ethereal-Star  - something like that could work for sure! The reason the 'no god like' characters rule was implemented was because I wanted to keep the complexity of a well developed civil war in tact and not so easily resolved by the wave of a hand of a superior being :)

(I just love me some conflict >D )

It's a war, and during this sort of time period, these things dragged on- even well after one side would admit defeat- simply for the fact news moves slowly in this era, and also because not everyone would be so keen to just drop their arms completely because of how many years this war has gone on- and many of the scars run deep.

I'll think more on this and if I have more thoughts to add- I'll post 'em here! Feel free to do the same!

It may be awhile as I too have some threads currently in the works as well as a quest of mine I am trying to plan. But I digress.

I forgot to mention I am going to sometime make some Connloathian characters (2 Mordecai, 1 of them regular, the other Adhara, plus their father who is a painter). So 3 altogether. The 2 Mordecai would most definitely be directly involved, while the father not so much but it would affect him seeing as how his daughters are fighting in this war. Presuming it is still going on by the time I get the characters submitted. I hope so!

Will need some time to think more about the first two ideas with the angel and Valkyrie. So much to do, too many ideas!! Ack!!! LOL.

The Time Line (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) section of the info page has been updated!
If you happen to see your thread is missing, has an error in it's description, or is placed in the wrong year, let me know so I can fix it ^_^

The character (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148385#msg148385) section on the info page is GREATLY outdated. Please take a look if you had your character enter the war in the last few months. Odds are they are not listed here. Please give me a link to your character's profile and where they ought to be placed on the list so I can work on updating this section :)

Also...
@Brisinger987  - Are you still going to keep Viara as an ambassador?
same goes to @Anadwen with your character, Miku.

Just checking in so I can update the roster!
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on December 01, 2014, 08:19:12 PM
Whew! More updates, omg- can you believe it!? XD

Anyways!

I'm just posting a few 'open by request' threads here, so if you're interested in joining shoot me a PM so we can possibly plot (though I'll apologize ahead of time if I'm picky with who/ what characters join!)

Most of these threads take place in the most recent years of the war- the most recent is currently year 9.


Gone With December (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17971.msg211053#msg211053)- The trail of defeat is long and harsh, but memories that he clings on to, a love he hopes not to lose, drives the injured soldier Killian Gryst (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13788.new#new) forward in hopes to get back to the capital with the terrible news that Fort Dhagh has fallen.  This takes place in the harsh winter, at the end of year 8, in the duchy of Ajhfeld.


That thread (above) is intended for a more serious, dark tone to it. Where as the following thread I intend to be more light hearted :)

In One Lump, or Two? (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17546.msg206126#msg206126) fledgling vigilante The Gamber (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17543.msg206102#msg206102) finds himself all alone, fighting a most confused band of soldiers who was heading straight for his home town.  Would you like some sugar with your tea, sir? Or perhaps a sword in the FACE? Then this might be the thread for you!


More thread and ideas to come! I'll be thinking on some possible new mini-event ideas, and if you have some- don't hesitate to post your thoughts and plots here!

Hey Spice, question for ya.

I was rereading all the Connloathian stuff and about the war going on in this nation and I have been trying to decide how to incorporate my angel character into this. You said we could possibly work with this idea and so I have a proposal regarding her.

The thread that really caught my eye where Enkhtuya (that's her name) could make a difference is the thread titled "Gone With December" where Killian had to amputate his dead arm in order to live. I was thinking my angel charrie could make an appearance there of some kind, mostly to serve as a source of comfort and a boost to his spirits. Since the war takes a lot out of people in terms of hope and happiness, her role could be pivotal or not. The exact details I have yet to figure out, but she would have some words of advice and peace of mind that she could give him in that moment as he struggles to get where he's going. Does that sound like it could work or is something you want to do? I don't really know at this point what else she can do, but I'll continue to think on it.

I also am wondering how Vanesse the Valkyrie could fit in to the war scenario. This would obviously be a different thread/threads. Vanesse while she does fight, her main role is to escort the souls of dead warriors found worthy and strong to take to Valhalla. And all that jazz.

Other ideas to come.

Sorry to be a party pooper and jump in, but angels are not exactly allowed in canon - as they are often portrayed as agents of an all mighty god, often akin to the Christian faith. All mighty gods are not allowed to be created by members, and SotE's canon is wildly based on belief systems rather than concrete powers. Not to mention that not even Connlaoth's lore supports angels, or any other nations really as there is really no term for them in canon. No one would know what they were other than a spirit of some kind.

I could have done this privately, but since there are two of you brainstorming, I would rather address you both, and give other members a heads up about angel characters and how they are handled(To my knowledge @Rhi-Rhi  and @Tally can correct me on this).
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on December 04, 2014, 11:09:52 AM
actually, I'm not sure that idea would really work anyway. It would be more beneficial, story wise (and for the drama I seek!) for him to perhaps be found by a mage who was trying to escape the chaos of the battle? This thread takes place after Fort Dhagh falls, which means the three mage camps it was protecting have been freed.


So just putting that comment out there as plotting food for thought!
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Ethereal-Star on December 04, 2014, 02:41:01 PM
@visualspice Ah okay, it's fine. Can't say I am not a little disappointed though but it's your event after all. Perhaps I can continue to think on other ideas/threads for her regarding the war?

@Looshi I understand your concern but my character is not what I'd consider a super all powerful god or god-like character. From what I understood of this site is that any other types of characters (angels, demons, gods, etc.) are to be put under the Wanderers and Independents section if they don't technically fit into canon but people still want to play these kinds of characters. I love this site for that sort of flexibility, but I also love the canon lore too, despite the fact that I am still trying to for the most part reread certain aspects of it to refresh my memory. I have read all the nations' info just it's a lot to keep in mind all the time, so sometimes will have to go back and look at it all. But yeah, angels in my view anyway, are not necessarily associated with the Judeo-Christian angels that most are familiar with, although a lot of them are. I think of them as being more universal archetypes of great good that can be RP'ed in numerous ways with many different backgrounds to boot. SotE is a very versatile site after all.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Looshi on December 04, 2014, 03:19:04 PM
@Ethereal-Star  I mainly take issue with your character's connection to the 'Divine source' which, from my understanding is a concrete god in your characters profile.

To play gods and things that are not supported in canon, they don't go in the Wanderers and Independents, rather they go in Open Roleplay and not in the canon boards.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Ethereal-Star on December 04, 2014, 03:48:02 PM
I could change the whole 'divine source' connection if that would help and leave it more generic or something.

Or if that doesn't suffice, then open RP it is then.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Looshi on December 04, 2014, 03:51:34 PM
I'll tag @Rhi-Rhi  so they can give a more concrete answer in this situation in regards to canon. Thank you for understanding!  I know that a bunch of rules are all over the place right now and can be a little difficult to keep track of. But feel free to RP whatever in Open Roleplay.

Keeping in mind the Duchy locations (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148390#msg148390)- I was thinking of starting one or two events that affect either the Duchy of Castavar or Bellkrath.

After the events that happened here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16012.msg167476#msg167476), the Duke of Turgall (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724#msg128724) has to make a decision of what to do next. He has technically conquered the Duchy of Ajhfeld, but it was a very unsatisfying victory. He had gone there in search of his sister (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14367.msg128725#msg128725), but ended up finding and 'imprisoning' a White Lily (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16372.new#new), instead.

I was looking into Bellkrath, (@Lion) since it also houses a bunch of mage camps, and Blaith might consider looking for his sister there. However, Lily, the one he captured, told him his sister had been taken away by someone else, and is likely not at this location. This leads me to the idea of, instead of going through Bellkrath, he could return home to find the duchy south of him threatening to attack unless they step down- so it's possible Duke Harmond could retaliate first, or, ignore the warning signs and have his own duchy come under attack as consequences for his actions up North. Though this battle could also take place on the boarder.


Now these are just some ideas. If anyone else has some thoughts as to the direction the army Blaith commands ought to go, I'm all ears!

I'm also playing around with eventually having an uprising in Uthlyn, though this event would happen after this one, or at the same time. I'm thinking well after.

I could throw in my mage Silas (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15781.new#new) as one of the to-be-hanged mages, assuming he got rounded up by guards and taken away from his rebel group at some point. He could also potentially be an aide to a hero.

I have a character who might be a really fun foil to your Liam and Tessa. He's a noble who's a registered mage (but may or may not actually have any mage powers) who's family always protected him, but now there's no family left - and a rival family would just *love* to see him out of the picture!

I also have a character I could bring in on the side of the Connlaotians... since it sounds like they might be a bit outnumbered in this thread. But I'm less sure what he's doing there... yet.

@LamiaGirl
Okay- despite being super duper exhausted, I'm going to try to organize my ideas here to toss your way and perhaps you can let me know which ones might appeal to you? I'm presuming you're interested in using your current character- but if you wanted to make another one or intended to use another, please let me know!

If you're looking for a quirky sort of adventure- I was hoping to start a new thread with basically this sort of introduction as this old, abandoned thread found here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15950.msg165467#msg165467) of my character Jack (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15949.msg165458#msg165458)- or even just starting another thread. I'm not quite sure how Jack would react to a woman with half of her body as that of a snake- but the very thought amuses me terribly XD

If you'd prefer to have her be hunted or chased down by a character, I do have Zannrick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13873.msg118197#msg118197) or Kentamin (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15585.msg156659#msg156659)- either of which could do the job- or even Krah (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14744.msg136491#msg136491) (but I'm not sure how he'd be available for this, as he's a rather busy character int he war- though were he not so, he'd totally be up for hunting her XD )

I also have my one thief girl, Mae'leena (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16365.msg177879#msg177879) that could be rather amusing to have a thread with. She's currently pregnant- so that only adds to her moody and feisty-ness!


It also might be funny for her to end up in a thread with the Grand Duke (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13795.msg116719#msg116719) of Connlaoth- but I have no idea how that could even be possible XD

And on a completely unrelated note- I have my character Miersck (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13792.msg116707#msg116707) that would also be amusing to toss her way- just cause I like tormenting Miersck for some reason lol

Post by: LamiaGirl on January 06, 2015, 08:41:40 AM
I would love to do a thread like that with Jack. Abigale is accepting of mages and if she caught him using his power she would not be put out by it. She also is a genuinely good hearted person and if she stumbled upon Jack being in trouble for using his powers she would get involved.

I also love the being hunted idea. I can picture a scene in which Kentamin tries to use his power to "Cure" her of her magic only to realize she never had magical powers to begin with, just precast spells. Not to mention getting into a fight would be kinda neat.

She would think Mae'leena is cute. I haven't written this in her bio yet but Abi is going to be more interested in women than she is in men. So I don't know how that would work for you.

As for the grand Duke. That could be a lot of fun, but like you im having trouble coming up with ideas on how to make that work.

Post by: visualspice on January 06, 2015, 09:01:44 AM
@LamiaGirl - Well, we could do something with Jack and Mae'leena- because both would amuse me terribly XD
Mae'leena wouldn't exactly be the most amicable of company, considering her condition (since she's pregnant) and Jack is well.. Jack XD
Not sure how he'd deal with a snake lady but I guess we'll see! <3

Thinking more into it, it might be appropriate to start a new thread for Jack/ Abigail.

But let me know if you'd be okay with doing two threads- or we could try to combine two threads, where I play out both Jack and Mae'leena and you, Abigail (though both Jack and Mae'leena have other threads going on so I'd have to mind their personal time lines when starting such a thread)

Though I'm thinking separate threads makes sense? I dunno- what's your thoughts?

If the mordecai and other anti-mage forces would ever need a hound, willing to search for and identify magic users for some coin (and with an added ability of looking straight into their mind for some doubled or tripled price), Valentine's very willing to go north and do his job. Technically he is a mage himself... But money is money, and money is tight.

He can, with 100% accuracy, define if someone's a mage, or not. He can even tell you what magic they have! Very good for identifying mages on the run. And since he has little to no honor and works for the highest price on the market, you can rely on him!
Though I have my doubts that someone would be willing to pay a mage to search for mages... Perhaps such person exists, or am I wrong?

If the mordecai and other anti-mage forces would ever need a hound, willing to search for and identify magic users for some coin (and with an added ability of looking straight into their mind for some doubled or tripled price), Valentine's very willing to go north and do his job. Technically he is a mage himself... But money is money, and money is tight.

Oh, I like that idea! And yes, trust me, characters like that DO exist. The war isn't completely black and white like they try to portray it! And some of the techniques both sides might use would be pretty dirty. So using a mage against mages isn't entirely against SOME of the one's doing the fighting. (and who nkows, the one's doing the hiring might have ulterior motives!)

So! I've been reading (Or skimming) through the background info and I'd love to participate on the "traditionalist" side. I was a little impatient and created a character before I understood that no lesser nobility was allowed, anymore, so I tweaked my character to be of a "wealthy peasant" origin and would enlist him in the Grand Duke's army. I was wondering if you would let such a thing even pass, seeing as there isn't really any land left on the map to claim or if I should rewrite the character's background, again.

Oh, in that case I'll gladly take that!

So, looking at how the duchies' status, Ajhfeld seems like the ideal spot, what with local lords and merchants gaining slightly more power due to no ruling house existing.

Are there any plans for a new ruling house rising or an oligarchy springing up in that general area? Are there any *gasp* efforts to secede from Connlaoth, for good? Or is it that, due to the deceased Duke, the Grand Duke has claimed the territory until a new duke has been chosen?

I'm wondering if maybe my character Vanesse couldn't get some action in regards to deceased parties. More specifically, she is a Valkyrie and all that that entails so any dead characters that are out of the picture for good can still have a chance to RP in a sort of ghost form on the hidden island of Valhalla.

I haven't roleplayed Vanesse yet and would love to do so. So just toss whatever characters have perished from the war (if any) and their owners so I can PM them to see if they're interested in a plot like this. It would obviously not be directly civil war related, so it should be alright.

Basically Vanesse would ride in on her pegasus steed and collect the fallen soul(s) from the battlefield and take them back to Valhalla, where there they would get a sort of second chance at life and to offer their services up for a worthy cause. And Vanesse's views on mages and the like don't really matter, she is concerned with finding worthy fighter souls, not whose side they fought on. Let me know please.

Post by: R.R. Pebble on February 10, 2015, 04:04:39 PM
Trying to jump back in here (I think I'm caught up, maybe?)

I have two characters I'd like to throw in. (profiles to be posted this weekend hopefully.)

Arvid Kireti is a falconer who is a registered mage. He doesn't actually have any mage powers, he's just really attuned to his birds, but that was enough to get him registered. His family is gone and a rival family wants his place at court.
I'm thinking he'd be perfect for the Witch Trials plot (if that is still happening....)

The other character is a war veteran. He's been living/working among the women. (He's a bower - someone who makes bow weapons) and has some skill in smithing/masonry. Basically, a bit of a jack of all trades as long as the trade has to do with the machinery of war. He didn't want to give up being a soldier, but had to due to disability.
I'm thinking about a "home-front" plot for him. When the war isn't going well for the Connlaothians in his home Duchy, and he gets pressed back into service. Not sure where this would fit in the timeline. Suggestions welcome.
(He's not a mage, but he does have a secret and could possibly go either way in this war, given the right circumstances.)
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on February 10, 2015, 09:23:24 PM
Both would work! As far as the witch trials sort of scenario- there hasn't been any more buzz on it since I think the last time you inquired, so perhaps people will see a renewed interest in it and we can get something like that started? Either way, both character ideas seem fun! Can't wait to see their profiles!

@visualspice

So, as I was looking through my notes on my iPad, I found an old character idea, a naval officer, and was wondering if the Grand Duke would put the nation's navy (and the armed forces in general) under his direct command, or had already done so. If so, would he have need for an admiral?

Also, regarding the witch trial idea, I'm thinking that, just so not everyone going to trial gets hanged, I might do something similar to what happened in the play The Crucible where those who confess to using magic, whether they did or not, would be let off (or sent up North :/), while those who deny it or don't give any names or a confession get hanged or pressed to death (which involves tying the subject down and laying heavy stones on top of them until either they confess, or die, whichever happens first)

@Klezmer Gryphon  - I'll have to look into this when I'm less busy D:
I haven't focused too much on major plot developing threads right now as I don't really have the time/ energy to give them appropriate thought and time of day x.x

I like the idea of the Witch Trials and the Crucible idea too, as I remember seeing that. Anyway, I don't yet have any Connloath characters who could be involved in the war yet but I hope to soon. A couple Mordecai, one of them an Adhara knight, plus their father who while not directly involved as he's gonna be a retired soldier and a painter as of current, are the characters I'm thinking of putting in here. Plus Vanesse to an extent if that's okay.

(shoot, I don't know how to reply to stuff here yet TnT) Uh, you said one of the roles you wanted was everyday people who could get affected? Can I add my OC, Erynies, then? She's an amateur mage, basically.

Basically, she'll just wander into the city to rest up (as she does sometimes in other cities), completely oblivious about a civil war brewing, but then when the war starts she'll be stuck in between and needs to get out if she wants to live.

Would there be any interest if I were to open a guild, of sorts, for the men that are high ranking in General Krah Mordeth's (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14744.0) army in the war? They'd have to be as terrible in character as Krah is or they wouldn't last long in his company or with it :T

ALSO *EDITS* NO WOMEN. They would NOT last long here nor would make sense with this x.x

Just an idea I figure I'd toss out there if anyone is interested.

Also, I was thinking about putting up something about anyone wanting to take the reins in leading an army of conscripts and we could make a thing of that for year nine or year ten of the war~

Again, just posting up ideas to see where I can get some nibbles on things!

Post by: visualspice on April 12, 2015, 11:36:21 AM
after @kleineklementine pointed out, I think I accidentally added an additional year to the war! (whoops)

Year Seven should have a ton more threads (even though it has a ton to begin with) because a lot just happened to be going on that year!

Year seven would end on the thread that's now posted in year Eight title: "Gone With December (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17971.0)"

And then year Nine will start with Last Days of the Frost (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17970.msg211042#msg211042) and leads into the spring ball in Hellvion. (Darn winter for being in BOTH years!)

However, I could be wrong in my presumptions and if so, @Ivory might know since it involves the birth of the Grand Duchess's children- First being her son (that dies months after its birth) and then the birth of her daughter. )

So either I'll have to move her threads around involving that or um, figure something out XD
cause she'd need time in between plus nine months for all of her depression and drama that had happened to fit into the timeline appropriately :T

Hey guys, I had an idea and was wondering if anyone (or two) would be interested in doing a thread with a... Mage Camp Uprising!

Do you have a mage trodden down by the war? A rebel fighter in the making? Or an "innocent" just caught up in the wrong stuff? This could be the thread for you! On my part, it would mostly feature my character Silas (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15781.new#new), an otherwise peaceful mage who had his daughter taken away by the church before he was sent to the camps with the other mages from his area. Though Olive (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14815.msg138437#new) would almost certainly also be involved a bit.

The setting: Beyond the borders of Connlaoth, the Church has built "unofficial" camps where away from the eyes of the populace. In this dreary, cold, and lifeless place they plan to use the captive population of mages for the secret experiments conducted by the Mordecai (see: here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/connlaoth.php#mord)). With no one to help them and the threat of the experiments - from which few return alive, and those who live are never the same - what choice do the mages have but to escape?

Timeline: This would be set in Year Five of the war (so earlier than the "latest" events).

Let me know if anyone is interested! I'd be up to threading with one or two (maaaaaaybe three, but would prefer to keep it smaller) others on it! :D

Are there any specific things y'all are looking for? Buddies? People from the past? I don't really want to throw a whole fresh character in if I can help it, but I'd be more than happy to fill in a "looking for" role!

I have had an idea for a former possible romantic interest/friend of my character Constance Carwick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14815.msg138437#new), torn to the opposite side of the Civil War. But! Since you already got some nibbles, I'll let you decide if you want me to bother you with more info or not. :D Feel free to PM me if you're maybe interested.

I hope I am not too late to join a few characters into this civil war. The Mordecai and Adhara Knight as well as their father I'm still fleshing out the details of their respective profiles, and I'm not sure at this point how long that's gonna take. I guess it depends on how long you think @visualspice that this war will last for. If I'm too late, just say so. It's kind of my own fault for waiting this long, even though I know this event has been going on for longer than I've been a member for, I think. Still, could'a jumped in sooner. I am still interested, just worried that I'm too late to the party. ??? :-\

Of course it's not too late to join! You'll just have to be aware that the war itself has been going on for years at this point so reading up on the summaries would be a good idea! Other than that, you can ask me questions and post your ideas for your characters here :D

Alright, neat, thanks. Still need to give them a background/history, well two of them at least. And some other stuffs, I think. Or maybe that was it. Dunno right off hand. I'll be sure to post the links to their profiles here along with some ideas once they're done and up!

As this event is still going on, I want to remind everyone you can jump in at any time with ideas or characters!

There is tons of political drama and intrigue laced with this event. There may be some major openings within the duchies opening up for Dukes or higher lords and ladies (lords and ladies are always welcome and wanted!).

The current year (Year 10) is the year of the draft, so all men of eligible age are instructed to fight for the Grand Duke. Those that do not either hide, flee or rebel themselves. Not all duchies are supporting the Grand Duke at this point, and so the civil war continues with its blood shed. This being said, I'm plotting an eventual uprising of the people of Uthlyn- which is the major city/ hub for the scholars of this country.

The Northern duchy of Ahjfeld is one such duchy, currently conquered and leaderless, it is now under the banner of the Duchy of Turgall while those who are conquered struggle with leaders among themselves.

The duchy of Castavar has a new Duke, but the majority of it's people (especially the higher lords and ladies) out right hate him. And with no heir and a MIA wife, he will find a lot of struggles to keep his position if he is not careful of his allies.

Vythe is a duchy who was the first one to have a major battle. I'm currently seeking members who are interested in making active plots and characters for this duchy to incorporate into this Civil war scene. Should you have an idea for this duchy, please send your ideas to me or post them here! I'm seeking a new ruling house to lead.

Allar is the duchy where the current Grand Duke was born. He left his duchy to his closest and only friend to rule, but the powers there are becoming controversial, and it's possible a new Duke may rise. If you have any ideas for this, please PM them to me or post them here!

Eyo eyo! I'm kinda new to the whole site, and am looking for a place to plop down a character.

I'd like to maybe present a new agent of the church to the war effort O'hann (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20333.0) the young inquisitor to investigate any rebellious mage activities within the city. For even in the heat of war we must not forget to uphold God's great JUSTICE and what better way to do so than by PURGING AND BURNING HERETICS, alas I wouldn't even know where to begin!

Maybe tomorrow I'll spend awhile getting familiar with the war effort as well, but I'm super intrigued!

The best place to read up information about this event can be found here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg136439#msg136439).

That being said, your character will work perfectly in this large plot line :D
I'd say check out the Map Section (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148390#msg148390) to get familiarized with how Connlaoth is mapped out. The rest of the information I'd read at your leisure. If anything seems confusing or you want something clarified or if information is lacking, don't hesitate to ask!

I'm always up for plots for the civil war event I run, so if you'd like to, I can propose a few character and plot ideas for us. Just let me know! :D

@Kapooki

I have a few characters open that could create an interesting thread.

Katahnia (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13853.msg117668#msg117668)- is a peaceful protester of the war. It was presumed she was dead when she disappeared for a few years, but has since returned to Connlaoth in hopes to continue advocating for peace over war. She is a known mage, but her entire history is not known to the masses.

Lady Attalia Arrant (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15556.msg155397#msg155397) is another woman presumed dead. When she was younger, her family sent her to the mage camps where they believed she died enroute. In reality, she was taken in by the church and had terrible experiments thrust upon her. Those experiments created an uneven balance in her powers, so it's hard to control, especially when she herself is emotionally unstable. She houses power over water, and was unkonwingly the one to blame when the City of Allar had it's great flood a few years ago. She's currently trying to find her place in the world, and is determined not to become another pawn of the church. She's also hoping to find a way to better control her now overwhelming power over water.

Jinai Rinstgate (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14308.msg127701#msg127701)- a supporter of mages who's done quite a lot for the war effort against the government. She's kind of a reckless woman, and does more low profile work (and normally the less pleasant work, too) She currently has an extremely high bounty on her head, and is a recovering addict from drugs.


I do have other characters as well, but these are the first few that popped into mind when I read your character's profile. Let me know if any of these characters are of interest to you and we can start working on plotting out an idea for a thread :D

Hi guys! Meet  Ellsea Suzanne  (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20385.new#new). She's pleased to meet you too. :) Help me find a place for her in this civil war, kay? Please and Thank yous... :)

I plan to start her as simply a barmaid at an inn in Castavar but one day her latent elemental powers emerge which attracts the attention of the townspeople and the law in consequence. With these turn of events, she is forced to join in the war and pick a side. But then again, if there are already too many supporters for the mages' side, I can make her something else to suit that too. I could tweak her to be some sort of survivor of being a slave of a mage or something instead. :)

Hey CherryFlare I been trying to recurit for this possible  faction  (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=19674.0") perhaps your barmaid/Mage could join it if you wish. It's a vigilante group, focused on fighting for the innocent equally, whether they be regular people or mages. Or simply avenge the wrongs committed against them by the guilty. I'll understand if you're not interested, putting it out there as an option.

Cullen (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20320.msg290538#msg290538)- a rebel against the government
Vels (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20048.msg274451#msg274451)- a homeless scavenger
The GAMBLER!! (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17543.msg206102#msg206102)- or so his alias is called, he's another rebel who's pretty quirky!
Zannrick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13873.msg118197#msg118197)- high ranking mordecai who's like a hound for the duke
Kentamin (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15585.msg156659#msg156659)- young templar

Hey, just wanted to see if there're any open spots for a Mordecai, and if so, what posts I could jump into. Or alternatively, start. I like battlefield threads, so if we have any of those, I could get into one, and if not, we should definitely make one. Any battle is a good battle.

The character is a Connloathian Native by the name of Gwynneir "Gwynne" Annefain. Mordecai by birth and put into the corps young, he is no stranger to combat and holds fiercely to the Duke, whoever that may be. I've held off on the character sheet in case there is no need for him. Get back to me when you can.

Okay!
Right now I have quite a number of characters that I could toss his way! I'm going to list a few here + give some scenarios available. Let me know if any catch your fancy :D

If you'd like him involved in home town protection, there are a few characters with plots I can offer you!

First of all is the Uthlyn Uprising thread (with a list of characters involved there). It's a group thread found here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20339.msg306019#new

There is also the current duchy of Ahjfeld that has been conquered by the enemy.
Petrin Stark (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20358.msg294059#msg294059) and her family reside there and would be torn between which side to serve


If you'd like him to be a mordecai with an army, he could run into the following characters in a battle against the Turgallian army:
Blaith Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724;topicseen#msg128724)- Duke of Turgall
Igna (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16384.msg178233#msg178233) - Turgullian soldier



I have like a zillion other ideas but figured I'd post a few more of the active and group thread ideas, fist.
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Magyar on May 30, 2016, 09:01:56 PM
Okay, did some reading, and I like Petrin, but as a political aim. Say, Grand duke sends a diplomatic party with the subtending option of a forceful takeover.
It'd go like this:
The party shows up, has their standard greetings dinner or whatnot, and get directly into alliance talk between Reajh/Grand duke and Ahjfeld. The hope is that things go well, and that a treaty is signed. The whole thing should have a "dire consequence if you don't cooperate" feel to it, and accordingly, if she doesn't, to some extent, or to the extent planned, the specially picked party siezes the (Fort/castle?) and keeps Petrin hostage until arrangements are met. If she does make truce, then the order is given for Mordecai occupation of the city. Nothing overly large, but like a set guard for the higher ups that double as a guiding hand for Ahjfeld. It works out that if some other people want to join in the thread in the diplomatic party, we don't have to sideline some NPCs.

That is a lot of preemptive plotting but IDEAS. So yeah. Think about it!

If that doesn't work, I'm always up for a war thread under the guise of "we don't like them, so let's kill them!". Soldiers are, after all, meant for warfare.

So... I was thinking since DragonSong and I are starting a new storyline up for the new ruling house in the Duchy of Allar- why not have a grand party to celebrate? Both of the children are at a marrying age; and their father is looking to solidify his hold and claim to the throne.

Either way, I'm using this as an excuse for a potential party thread for Connlaothian nobility :D

@Spicyspice First off, new name? nice. and secondly, yeah I'm still into it, start up a thread and tag whenever, I'll be dual managing a mixed yet separated plotline off in the corner. Don't feel rushed if it isn't a good time, though.

Yeah, I felt the need to change my name/id here to something more fun, like Spicyspice, so as to keep 'the spice' but now it's like- twice as spicy? lol
Anyhow, @Magyar  I'll work on a post as soon as I can! I totally forgot about this idea or would have done this earlier this week when I was working on some 'open by request' threads here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14346.msg168539#msg168539).

Ok, I am back again! So, here is the plan I have and if it would work. Eric still hates the church, always will unless some SERIOUS redemption takes place. He will strike at any and all targets that present itself while trying to make it seem like one side or the other is attacking them.

If he can cut off the church from their allies, he will leave (hopefully) the mages in a better position to fight back. This is of course with your go ahead.

@Ericnox - This idea can work, but note that the church itself is not confined to just one location- it would be Connlaoth wide, so all churches more or less abide by the same code. I'm just curious how he would go about with his focus on the church.

While the Church is spread it, attacking its ideals, the people in power, and overall hitting it in a way that spreads fear and doubt can be more effective than burning down locations. Either way, should be fun.

@Ericnox - So I've given it some thought! My character Danning (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=18571.msg234737#msg234737) might be interesting to toss his way. He's a priest but a preacher who is against the war on mages and all of this repression. His goal is to teach peace, so at first he might appear as an enemy, but they could realize, ina  strange turn of events, they're on the same side?

Or

It's possible if he wants to join up with my character Cullen (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20320.msg290538#msg290538) and his band of rebels in their event that's slowly progressing here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20339.msg292459#msg292459).

I also have an open thread involving my character Katahnia Harmond (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13853.msg117668#msg117668)- who has done a lot as far as war efforts go. The thread can be found here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20963.msg314071#msg314071).

And there's also my character, Vels (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20048.msg274451#msg274451)- who seems to be good at getting into trouble!


Let me know if any of these are of interest to you, or if you had another idea based off of one of these suggestions~

Gosh, I've been meaning to post this and kept forgetting because BUSYNESS. But life is calming down thank goodness so now I WILL BEFORE I FORGET.

I wanted to see about getting Serendipity in on this stuff, politically! >8D Whatcha thing, @Spicyspice? Connlaoth shares a border with Serendipity, basically, and Qiana could hear about the awful treatment of mages and offer refugees safety. Of course, there would be repercussions and complications because then...HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE? And I could see some Serenians reacting much like how people do today with regards to refugees like "WELL HOW DO WE KNOW THESE PEOPLE AREN'T COMING IN WITH BAD INTENTIONS ARGH THERE'S GONNA BE CHAOS AND DISORDER!"

I know there have been some underground railroads goin' on, on Connlaoth's side. Maybe Serendipity could start officially setting up one and send in undercover soldier mules and stuff to fish mages out and whisk them over the border. So there can be some tension between countries. xD

yesssssss
the war has been going on long enough it'd be silly if Serendipity didn't react in one way or another. Maybe the queen, or someone close to her, creates a band of traveling horsemen who help escort the refugees through the mountains and into a Serendipity safe house of sorts?

We could call them like, the Ridge Runners, or somethin' clever (maybe even make a guild out of 'em?) I wouldn't mind creating/ working on something like that :D Basically would be a group of hardy individuals who know the terrain and mountains passes/ rivers, etc to be able to get people through safely (ie- protect them from mage hunters, soldiers and wild animals)

I could even look into some of my mage supporters as being connections for them

Well, I can always just have him approach her. He was going to build a name for himself before I had to leave for a while, at least against the major churches, so she MIGHT have heard of him. Plus, if nothing else, he could offer services [main body guard, etc].

Glad to see you back spicy, and I hope things are going smooth now.

I... wanted to submit Wylie Wyndham (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20341.msg292628) for the mage/Turgall side. Haven't really played him much so far and I'm not sure how his conjuration meshes with the 'no demons' rule. The idea I had in making him was the existence of Mordecai has kind of turned mages to dark and unseemly paths in order to survive (since immortals aren't effected by Mordecai and Adhara), and that while his monsters might be terrifying for the anti-magic side to face... it might also alienate mages who aren't really into human sacrifice. Could probably work just as well with necromancy or evil fae if that makes a difference. Lemme know if that works or I need to tweak anything!

Hi, I'm pretty new to the whole Connloathian Civil war, as I just started on SotE little over a month ago, but I REALLY like the dynamic of the story you're telling! When I joined SotE, I saw the posts, and I decided to set my character in it, with his intention being monumentally difficult: to bring what he sees as needless bloodshed to an end, as well as tear down the newfound hate for mages in general that Grand Duke Calent has instilled in the people of Connloath. I figured that with the people becoming increasing tired of the war, now would be an opportune time for his enemies to sow seeds of dissent against Calent, a dangerous calling that my character, Aven Alveron, is seeking to take upon himself and gather others to stand with him:

Aven Alveron, the Shadow Mage: https://www.tapatalk.com/topic/1413101-spirits-of-the-earth/22954-aven-alveron-the-shadow-mage

I've got quite a few plans on exactly how he's going to accomplish this, but for those plans, he'll need allies on the inside. Aven would be searching for those willing to put their lives on the line for the sake of the greater good, to free the mages of Connloath from the oppression of a misguided Duke, to dismantle the idea that magic is any more evil than a sword and shield. This calling would require subtlety, espionage, infiltration into enemy ranks, and the resolve to kill if necessary. This would not be a summons for heroes, or anyone who wishes to be celebrated: it would be for those who are strong enough to be called a villian for doing what needed to be done, to be cast out of the victory celebrations and hunted as outlaws. It would be for those with true strength of heart, to brave the face of moral ambiguity and triumph!

Let me know if this would fit in with your design for the plot. I can go into more detail in private about exactly what Aven has planned, if need be: I know that after running the plot so long, you don't want some random mage to come along and solve it willy nilly, and I promise that's not what this is.

@Wycliff - Sorry for my tardy reply but yes, I'm excited to see you're enthusiastic about the story :D
I'd be more than happy to hear anymore specifics on this idea and I might be able to even toss a few of my smaller groups towards your character if I think them banding together might make sense in the scheme of the story.

I'm back from hiatus now (but will probably still be a bit slow to reply) however, I'm excited to see more of your thoughts on this and I'll look into your character soon :D

If you already started some plots, just drop me a summary here so I can be in the know as I start to get back into my own threads and more plots going forward!

@Morgan Droud   If you're up for plots, lemme know! I'm back from a long hiatus so trying to make sure I touch base with all new members/ characters whom I haven't contacted yet, about plot ideas and such!


And I saw a post from @Catalina - but I do believe I responded to you in some shape or form so.. just tagging you here to make sure and say yes, yes this event is still active XD
Hopefully more so now that I'm back!

Sorry to all of interest in this event! I think I finally got caught up with those inquiring more into it, and I'm hoping to be active once again. Bare with me as I still might be slowish to respond, however, I am eager to get back into this event and see what everyone is coming up with since I was away :D
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War ATTN: NEW DUKES!?!?
Post by: visualspice on February 19, 2017, 02:03:02 PM
So it's come to my attention a few duchies (high ranking ruling houses) may be open; HOWEVER, I can't recall if they were already reserved via plots I started with members before my hiatus.

Right now, the current ones in questions are:
Folkvar (taken by @Draconian  cause I'm bad and forgot lol), Ardal, and Vythe.
I'm giving people sometime to reply to this just to make sure I don't open up more plots if I already had ones as work in progresses >_>

That being said, there is always LESSER dukes that can fight to control lands, etc, that are always open and available- just shoot ideas my way since it might affect some of my current characters and we can plot and play :D

To view the location of the above 'in question' duchies- the map is found here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148390#msg148390

@Spicyspice

I stole Folkvar!

It just never got updated because I stole it rather late.

the current Duke is NPC'd 'cause I got the

Dutchess (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=19346.msg254562#msg254562) and the Heir (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=21003.msg315086#msg315086)

Since their only children are daughters.  Eldest  (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=18917.msg241437;topicseen#msg241437) and Younger (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20228.msg282711#msg282711)

Also he's probably not doin' a lot of crap that he can just send Kairius to do. I think I made him sick or bedridden or something. Also there's a sub-plot I have going where he's totally not trying to have his daughters assassinated or anything nooooo.

=D If I need to make Mr.DukeGuy I can.

Late character submissions are late, but I kinda wanted to add him anyway. A former soldier with a small force of his own, to march against the Grand Duke. Because he sucks eggs.

yay, glad to see interest still blooming on this event :D
I have some ideas I'd like to play with myself and hoping that, at some point, I can collect my random ideas and mesh them into some sort of plot worthy stream of sentences for plotting purposes XD

That being said, I might have to host another ball/ party type thread because those events, I've noticed, are the most popular. Might be interesting if it were some sort of wedding event this time- so we shall see.

Although a wedding for Kella (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14367.msg128725#msg128725) might be a pretty big deal to the whole of Connlaoth >_>  I'm not opposed to her potential marriage also being some sort of internal war on it's own. Might be interesting if one of the duchies gets her and tries to use her as a bargaining chip of power towards others (or even her brother, Blaith (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14366.msg128724;topicseen#msg128724) (the 'main' antagonist, as it were). But it's just some thoughts!
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Draconian on February 25, 2017, 06:50:59 AM
(Psssst )

Folkvar wants to be a big player in this here civil war and come out on top so to speak. So, the Duke of Folkvar would like to shovel over his heir (since all his wife gave him were daughters) and the resources on finding this Miss Kella.

: D its Kairius. As you know.and I cant link for shi-et on my phone so if he pleases you his profile is in my siggy!

Also!! I've made a solitary mage named Elk who enjoys singleman raids on camps and setting fire to places and stuff. : D she's not really WITH the mages and she isn't for Connnlaoth. In fact she's a wee bit derabged. So, if you need to pin anything on mages... feel free to use her and Friend. 8D
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on February 25, 2017, 07:01:21 AM
@Draconian  I like this idea for Kella! There is a bit of a problem in her inability to touch, which, whomever finds her and takes her in, will surely know about it. There are only some rumors about what sort of powers she possesses, so no one really knows the truth about her killer touch (so to speak!)  That in itself can be an interesting plot point, that perhaps his family could lie about to make it seem Kella is not only normal, but in some means a very good card to have in potentially turning the odds against Blaith from conquering anymore duchies. However, that doesn't mean he won't come for their duchy next >D

I haven't considered Blaith's next move, but I'm not thinking of making him head to Allar. Although that duchy is strong and is the place where the current Grand Duke was from; he might have a lead Kella is there and could tear into it with a force t be reckoned with.

A bittersweet idea would be if he DOES claim a victory there, Kella could already be taken by Folkvar :D and you know, the wedding itself is already getting announced and perhaps a 'stand down' request to Blaith to surrender and remain a war criminal rotting in jail over, you know, the obvious death sentence for his crimes against the country.

Just some food for thought/ ideas
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Draconian on February 25, 2017, 07:35:54 AM
Kairius is a 'untrained' mordecai - mostly, isnt aware he is one and was never in the military for it. Would that have any effect on her?

Also. DukeAvarali gets great glee from this plan of either of those things for blaith. : D and welcomes the opprotunity to display how powerful his dutchy is or whateves. Mostly he wants to pretend he's inportant by using his newphew.

Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on February 25, 2017, 07:47:48 AM
Kella's powers, it's only recently been decided (but not shown in the game yet), is potentially effected by an adhara- but I'm thinking even that might be limited. Blaith recently found this out, but again, only he and his wife are the only ones that know (he recently married the Duke of Orchy's daughter, Lily, who is an adhara-) she's probably with his child and yeah- he has the same issues as Kella; so the only possible way for her to seem 'cured' is adhara, but not a mordecai. I hope that makes sense lol

Post by: Draconian on February 25, 2017, 07:54:21 AM

Sunniva will just have to putter around the Folkvar manner for Krah related reasons.  -cough-

Been meaning to ask if it would be appropriate for me to run mini-war-related events? Set up 'versus' things for different characters, you know? I believe I posted a similiar question in the events thread but I am unsure if it was seen but yeah, something like that so it's a bit more organized!

To make it more of a challenge, we could do a points system where a battle thread must be done in 10 pages- and if it ends in a draw, people would go over it and select which party seemed to be the most... Triumphant persay :P

Although an interesting idea, I'd like to remind members that is just an option for this type of rp. I, myself, prefer to keep my battles, even one on one's, story oriented and not point based, so while I probably won't participate directly in this, I do encourage others who like this method to join in!  That being said, also please get preapproval for any major battles since anything detrimental to the world or event will need to be approved by myself or @Viscount Rhi-Rhi

Post by: visualspice on March 04, 2017, 06:50:20 AM
SooooooooooooOoOOooo,

Just making a list here of potential characters up for plotting for civil war related things!

First of all my character Cullen (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20320.msg290538#msg290538) is the leader of a small band of rebels located in Matron's Hallow and near the capital, Reajh. He has a lot of interior Intel since he used to be captain of the guard, however, he has since been ostracized for obvious reasons! He is the leader of The Blood Wardens (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20321.msg290579#msg290579); and I'm always looking for people to join, or at least others to befriend or become an enemy of :D


Oska Inawa (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=18586.msg234908#msg234908) is a Serenian merchant prince whom could potentially (and quite not on purpose) get involved with the trickle down effect of this war

The Gambler! (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=17543.msg206102#msg206102) is a rebel in his own right whom I'd be open to more threads with :D

Igna (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16384.msg178233#msg178233) is a female soldier whom I'd be interested in playing again since it's been so long D:  She's in the Turgallian army, so she isn't with the Grand Duke- but I could pit her against those that are! Battles! Rar! Fights! Rar rar!

Mae'leena (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16365.msg177879#msg177879) a 'not so great thief who thinks she's great' who found herself tangled up with the Duke of Wulfbaer. She had a child with him, and things are um... complicated? Considering we're not even sure how much longer this Duke will rule! (I mean all she wanted was to steal a famous painting or something... ends up with a baby lol)


Kentamin (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15585.msg156659#msg156659) is a templar in training, and though he'd be a bit older than his profile suggests, he's still naive and brash enough his faults still apply

Edward (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15572.msg155789#msg155789) is the heir for the duchy of Highheart- and as such, he probably should take a wife; all the while battling his feelings for another he can't have AND getting called to the draft (of all things!)

Katahnia (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13853.msg117668#msg117668) has been playing a pretend extensive role in this war, and I'd be more than happy to expand her friends and connections >D


I probably have others but again, just trying to get ideas to develop more war stories and such! And most of these characters listed need more love <3
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on March 04, 2017, 06:54:07 AM
Killian, Davishire, Davina, even the Grand Duke (Calent) himself might even be up for grabs for some plotties, just lemme know your ideas. Who knows, if you post a thought here, I might be able to pair a character with them even if they might not be listed here :D

Post by: Sheshia on March 15, 2017, 09:02:04 AM
Shyirin for Mages (if thats okay Spice :3 if its not I jave a personal character I can use instead)

FyI he is not always a wolf X3 just on few threads. Which I personally perfer. But he might get himself entangled as a spy since he has no magic just depending on how someone else's character and his relation ship goes (we have already agreed on it lol so we are doing a few ghreads to get ot going XD) he was born in cannolath and still spends some time on the outskert of it

Hopefully I posted this in the correct area :p

HEY ALL!

It's Violet here to drop my idea recently discussed among @Spicyspice and @Klezmer Gryphon !

A new(er) character of mine, named  Rin Solari  (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=21482.new#new) and a character of Klezmer's named  Tàrocai Mhuìcadui (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=21758.msg327326#msg327326) (Not updated yet.) Will start a vast spy network within Connlaoth! Their main goal being to assist the freedom fighters through information, reconnaissance and espionage! The guild has yet to be created, but Spice's character:  Cullen! (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20320.msg290538#msg290538) and his guild of freedom fighters  The Blood Wardens (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20321.msg290579#msg290579) Will help in its creation! Or at least work closely together.

Anyhow! We were just wondering if anyone was at all interested in this new guild idea, and would like to throw a character in for the cause! As well as update people so they know what's coming.

Ok so Shyirin has recently joined the civil war as a spy for the mages. He has the advantage over spies who are mages since he has no magic but is faster and stronger then ppl.
So I need some people fighting/working for the duke or mordechai for him to blend into and spy on :)

Pm me if anyone has an ideas :)

Uthlyn, the cultural and intellectual hub of Connlaoth, is officially in an uproar!
Any interested can join, (as the event will consist of many characters and multiple threads!)

The plotting thread is found here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20339.0).

Where it features my character's Cullen and the blood wardens readying to churn the people's unrest against the city. Cullen himself hasn't done much, and more about him and the blood wardens can be found here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20320.msg290538#msg290538) and here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20321.msg290579#msg290579).

I'm contemplating making a new mordecai grand master a big event, a ball for all the nobles, etc that would be a fun mini-event for the civil war! It would be more of a political ball versus the other events that were more or less full of decadence and excess :|

Also, there are a lot of power shifts so people curious about nobility, please poke me as some high ranking positions may be coming open as well as marriage opportunities and alliances!

*HINT HINT*
The Grand Duke himself just lost his wife so...
Who knows! He's PROBABLY potentially looking for a replacement...
Although I have ideas, the Mordecai Grand Master 'ball' event will be a great place for single ladies to strut their stuff and men with daughters they want to marry off to be seen!

I also want to make it noted, just so it's here, but being this is an event I run, any large scale projects need to be okayed by me prior to them happening in game. I don't have the time or energy to read through all of the posts in Connlaoth and being this is such a complicated event, please don't assume what you are plotting will work without actually running it by myself, first. Smaller stories and scales need not worry :) (I mean anything that effects dukes, duchies, the army in a large scale, etc)
This is out of respect for myself and all of the players who have literally put years of their lives into making the event thrive, which I want to take a moment to thank since this event could never be STILL successful today without all of you :D
Also, all posts involving any aspect of the war, please link back to this thread at least once during your plotting (ie- if there's a guild that effects this, please link it here so it is easily accessible for those wanting to know what's readily available or has been plotted out openly)
Also, this will make it easier for me when I do my next big update on the info page, which I'm hoping to do in the next few weeks!

So it's noted!

Duchies Wulfbauer, Ardal and Vythe are going to go through some major changes. This means some potential positions for new ruling Dukes may come open. Stay tuned for more updates!

@pomelo  (since this effects Olive since I'm not sure cambie is coming back or where he went :( )

Also..

@Cambie  in case you're still lurking!

Other wise I need to dig through archives to see the status of Ardal and Vythe again lol

Well, even if Cambie isn't really around, I guess I'd like to still keep Wulfbauer for Olive, with Erwin in the background or whatever. But I'm not the boss.

Bellkrath has fought hard to stay out of the war and fortify it's borders. But threats within have made things tense. The Duke has been sick for some time, and lacks the strength to stand with the Crown, if it ever did. After escaping Lucian's initial clutches, Mercuxio returns to Bellkrath to find his home in ruins.

Falkenrath did stand with the Crown and was crippled severely by the war. It's state allowed for Roland Harker to swoop in and take the Duchy from the last known surviving heir of the Brennick family without a fuss, with no bloodshed. Falkenrath now stands against the Crown.

Would anyone be interested to plot things involving the remaining mage camps? They would be scattered at best, since the last event involving any mage camps was when the Turgullian army raided Ahjfeld and freed mages from the largest mage camps there (specifically at Fort Dhagh).

Title: Duchy of Vythe now open for a new Duke!
Post by: visualspice on April 23, 2017, 05:25:38 AM
The Duchy of Vythe is officially open for a new ruler!
Vythe never really got too established into the war, outside of the Havanlaar incident and that it's pro-crown.

The only stipulations for those wanting to create the Duke of Vythe are as follows:
You must know the Connlaothian lore well.
You must know the majority of the civil war politics (this I can work with you on if needed, as some things need updated still on the info page!)
You must be an active rper (posting at least weekly) and have been on SOTE for at least 3 months time (note if you haven't been here a year and you fail to remain active in this position for a month or more without warning, it will be assumed you've relinquished your character from said position) *this is just to make sure the plots don't stagnate
It must be a NEW character. Pre-exsisting characters won't work as this is a blood line position. Since there wasn't much plotted in specifics of the noble family ruling Vythe, you do have a lot of wiggle room.
The character must be pro-crown (Initially! It IS possible for them to switch sides!) *this is because of pre-existing conditions within the civil war story line)



That all being said, if I missed something I'll add it here. So come at me with your ideas! This is a first come basis, however, there must be a proposed idea to go along with initial claim. I will not hold the spot just because someone wants the position but has no idea on the character :)

So, when you post a query, post a very brief idea for the character and their family dynamic and we'll go from there <3 Please do not create the character until it's been discussed with me just to ensure a smooth transition into the civil war nobility :D

Also, please note, more than one person has inquired about higher ranking titles. For now, I'm going to let players without Duke titles contest first, but if not one steps forward with interest withint he next week or so, I'll gladly allow members who do have other duchies, come forward with their potential ideas <3

*please read this entire thread because if you respond but don't read everything here, you could miss out if someone else does respond and actually reads the thing and post the correct specs XD

Post by: AevumEternity on April 23, 2017, 05:48:43 AM
Idea for Vythe Ruler:
It might be interesting for this character to rise from behind their anti-Crown predeccessor in favor of the crown. Lets say their father or mother had a particular blood feud with Duke Calent and refused to side with them for the duration of the war, until the son. Came of age to take over and immediately began to make arrangements against their family's wishes to stand alongside Calent.

And due to the first major massacre happening within the province it could give this new Lord the potential to be directly disdainful for Mage lives if they are old enough to remember... Though it's unclear whether the Havanlaar massacre is a massacre of mages or civilians- but I would say this character could have the potential to be a sociopath, which always makes for some very interesting RP
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: SilmeriaElemred on April 23, 2017, 05:53:40 AM
I was thinking about making a male successor who adores the Grand Duke. He has a younger sibling though who does not adore the grand duke at all but pretends he/ she does while also smuggling mages out of the country.

The succesor has an advisor who is one of my already existing characters; Erian, who also acts as the man's butler.

---
Another idea was a female successor who is unaware of all the horrors of the Grand Duke's reign and only hears the good stories. She is engaged to Erian (yes again him) who acts as her advisor and manipulator.

Both ideas are a bit cliché but that was what my head came up with.

@AevumEternity

It is possible the parents were not happy with the outcome of the war, since they were the first duchy to suffer (and under a crown supporting General, no less)

Check out the summary here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148391#msg148391) for year four, as this is the year (and location) General Krah started his rise to fame and his reputation for being a brutal yet effective general.

The massacre itself effected soldiers, mages and civilians alike- so hence the term 'slaughter' since anyone present in that town was mowed down by Krah and his army (waving the Grand Duke's flag)

Since Vythe has been quiet the majority of the war years since (and we're at year ten, currently) there can't  be any open protests against the crown. Perhaps they'd be bitter and might not easily work with the crown itself, but it was never established there would have been notable high animosity. So it's possible if your characters parents who ruled before him were stingy in crown support (and maybe openly opposed a lot of things but never out right denounced the crown) this idea could work so it wouldn't break pre-existing cannon :)


However, not sure if how Krah slaughtered his town might help keep them pro-mage but since that time Krah's army hasn't really set foot back into Vythe.

@SilverLuna  - Since @AevumEternity  posted first, I'm going to wait to see what ideas she finalizes, so the position is more or less going to be hers so long as her ideas, moving forward, get approved :)  But Sil, just note, some oft he ideas you proposed do go against the Connlaothian lore :T women can't be dukes. Unless you meant you just wanted to make a female in general? Remember, Connlaoth is a patriarchal country and unless you're a female in the military (being a mordecai or adhara, too, because if you're not, females can't be in the military other wise), then all females are subject to the rulings of their husbands.

Post by: AevumEternity on April 23, 2017, 06:10:52 AM
@Spicyspice

Hmm- Well logically that would make sense to have the parents be particularly stingy against the crown for that. The fact that the General got infamous for it could also add salt to the wound- a sociopath, alas, could easily disregard the massacre in favor of 'logic' persay. The heir could have the perspective that the massacre itself brought a great deal of reputation to the General and as a result the Armed Forces, thus making him prone to siding with the Duke Calent either out of fear, admiration or simple ambition to be on the 'winning' side- much to the chagrin of his parents.

How does that sound?
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: visualspice on April 23, 2017, 06:16:42 AM
Something like that could work! And again, he can always make plans to oppose the crown too, at some point, if you wish. Just currently, in year ten of the war, there was no known plots against the crown.


Oh! Another thing to keep in mind that you might want to play with is that Vythe shares a boarder with Serendipity, which can make keeping mages under control more difficult there~

Post by: SilmeriaElemred on April 23, 2017, 06:22:16 AM
that I knew ;) realised it after posting as well which gave birth to idea 2.1; that the female character is the younger sibling of the successor ^^'

who knows if more positions are up I could still stick with 2.1 if that fits, or @AevumEternity would like to cooperate where I could make the successor's sister engaged to Erian or something ^^

Plenty of options and there is otherwise still the lesser noble card.

Oh, I like him a lot already :D
It fits well with the fact Vythe was quiet and the heir/ new (well now) Duke is a bit unassuming and reserved himself (meaning not outlandish or garish in the way he flaunts his title)
I like that he's quiet and calculating. His personality seems similar to Calent's (as Grand Duke Allarrick rarely let's much in, personality wise or feeling wise)- but he also rarely sleeps so he just has no time for frivolous emotions D<  He's a busy man.

Duke Daemion totally needs a woman to upset his balance lol Like someone that can actually get him to expression emotions, like anger or something 8D

Just my two cents <3

If you'd like, you can bring him to the ball :D and he'd be quite the man of the hour in his own right if he's not married 8D

It could be proposed that Toma Stark's sister (Toma Stark is being considered for the position as the new Duke of Ahjfeld in hopes to restore it under the crown again) be forced to marry him- though I doubt Petrin Stark would oblige. Her castle was just destroyed and she, chased out of her home. They  might consider marrying her off to him to secure the power of Ahjfeld and to get her to shut up lol
She'd be the kind of wife that'd punch him in the face if he tried something awful lol
but I'm not sure she'd be easily accessible considering her current predicament up north in Ahjfeld :|
It could be possible she flees to the capital in hopes to appeal for the grand duke to relinquish his men as she didn't want to fight them- she simply didn't wnat to support the army that approached her home, either. So now she's in a pickle where her entire castle is being decimated D:

Meanwhile the heir to her family is a mordecai and off in the army- go figure!


But then again that doens't need to happen, I'm just rambling things off XD

I have other characters, like Davina Callister, who would try to seduce him in order to get the position as Duchess lol (but right now she's hoping to get into the Hellvion castle, so not sure how much she'd willingly eye a seat so far from the North)
but she's kind of a ho so... :|

The Ruling Duke (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg148388#msg148388) page is updated to showcase the current rulers and their new (or newly dead) wives

<3 let me know if any of the links are broken but for now.. phew! glad that's finally up to date D:

Also, @Jounin  we were plotting a possible new duke for Ahjfeld so I'm just making a note of that here that it's still 'in the works' hence why it's not listed!

Also, @GoblinFae  - the heir is disputed but gobs and I are plotting the next heir within that disputed group of family, so again, hence why it'snot listed!


I'll update as things change!

When you have the chance, feel free to create one for it so it can have it's own page :D you can either post it there or I can post it but I'll have to edit in the link once it's up <3

Other wise I need to dig through archives to see the status of Ardal and Vythe again lol


Well, even if Cambie isn't really around, I guess I'd like to still keep Wulfbauer for Olive, with Erwin in the background or whatever. But I'm not the boss.

I realize I've been gone for a terribly long time.  Just let me know what I need to do to make this work for you.

The Red Legion (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=23211.new#new)
Founded originally as a mercenary company by Roland Harker, it has since been turned into an army to help people that have been broken/displaced by the civil war. Their goal is to fight against tyranny and return Connlaoth to her people.

Founded by the enigmatic flesh sculptor The Witch Doctor, The Clinic is an underground business meant to aid and support known mages in Connlaoth, whether it be spying, healing, disguising, or special surgeries. In The Clinic no mage leaves in danger if they have the proper fees.

Just so I post it somewhere and don't forget (and have it on record) I was planning to do a ball (well before the inauguration event was a thing I had this OTHER ball event festival thingy...) where Calent hosts an event for every citizen of Connlaoth- like a festival sort of thing revolving around the grand opening of a new building to be known as 'The Hall of Mirrors'.
Once I remember my entire plots behind it I'll post it here XD
@Draconian  I think I plotted some of this with you but I can't remember all of the details D8

But this'll be an event everyone, regardless of status, can attend, however, there would be some restrictions due to it being the Grand Duke hosting it <3

This would also be in later autumn, briefly after the inauguration stuff so nearer to the end of year 10~ but before winter (naturally!)
Title: Re: Official Plotting thread for: The Connlaothian Civil War
Post by: Draconian on May 08, 2017, 06:19:28 PM
Mirrors were to represent each duchy!


And, we talked about this but so you don't forget!


The Mirrors are to represent each duchy!

It's going to be the grand opening of like... A public park or a public sanctuary for peasants and regular old people and stuff. 

Calent is also going to be doing some other announcement ; D ; D ; D

Symbolism!

Also, because mirror's are creepy. o_o

I think it's like a public park/sanctuary. There's just a sort of building/a hallway that has a mirror for each duchy!

Just a reminder, for those posting or wanting to plot large events for this war, you have to post it here and okay it with me first. If I don't know about it or have the link for it to review it more or less 'doesn't exist ' so please remember to keep myself (and everyone else) informed. Also please keep all posts and plots ijn canon and adhere to all site rules and event rules, or else your character s action will be held accountable in game even if you make a mistake so please ask questions if you're unsure!

@swimberly  It might be possible! I'm trying to limit participants to be more or less Connlaothian, but if you can think of a good reason for them to be there, they'd definitely be considered! Just keep in mind, Adela isn't that close to Connlaoth.

@Elekta Kount @Viscount Rhi-Rhi
Since it's been asked more than once, technology currently in connlaoth would reflect around the time wheellocks would have been invented- which was approximately around the early 1500s. So cannons and the like would reflect that. There can be some leeway, as we're pretty flexible, but this should give everyone a good basis around the details of technology and what's acceptable.

Is it possible for a thread between Gwynne (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=20698.msg305292#msg305292), my own character, and Hakon Kilandre (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=22004.msg329978#msg329978), Aevum's, wherein the both of them are engaged in combat in year five?

The circumstances would be in Falkenrath, just on the shores of Athervaan Lake, against a mage group fleeing south. The group would be intending to catch a boat on Athervaan, and ride the river south, out of Connloath in an effort to flee the kingdom. A loyalist among the crew would tip off the mordecai in the area, among those being the aforementioned characters above. They go to squash some mages, build some personal history, and if we need any loose ends tied (i.e. a character who's stopped being played, a mage presumed missing or dead, etc) that can be a bonus. The thread itself is solely for building a relationship between the two characters, as Gwynne is a part of Kilandre's group, Ansgar's Hand, but as of yet has had little in thread communication with her.

Last time I was here I was nervous about getting Joshua in on this but now I think I want to go ahead with him.  Not sure if I want him to seek out the resistance but maybe get roped in and start building weapons, armor and tools for them...Though since Looshi is retired, I'm not sure how said resistance is being handled (if at all).

Michael might be able to get involved as well.  While unwilling to take an official stance, he could be hired to fight for the rebels in any true battles.

Good to have you back, Spice.

So, for the record, I've made some changes to my roster of Connlaothians since my last post...

Joshua Fisher is a professional gunsmith and secret fire mage who might be convinced to support any resistance movements (he is the primary supplier of arquebuses to the AshGuard)

Alexis Mandel and Michael Wolfram are both leaders of a mercenary regiment called the Ash Guard.  It's not a guild so much as a personal resource I may be inclined to share with the war effort; they were originally loosely inspired by German Landsknecht though I'm leaning more toward a gun-focused structure now...  Either way, I'm looking to get them aligned against the Grand Duke, which should not be too difficult with the right offer (not sure what that should be yet).

So I'm looking for a 'it's complicated' love interest for my newer General Character in the Connlaothian war story. His profile is here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=23474.0 and a potential open thread for this lady character is here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=23475.msg350562#msg350562


Looking for friends/ comrads/ potential new lover interest for my female soldier:
http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16384.0
Igna Martisse
The thread she was in was pretty complicated, and the thread partner is unfortunately gone- so in order to move her on, I'm going to have her needing to deal with her lover's death and all those awful feelings attached while still being involved deeply rooted into the war.


Leif Arrant:
He has recently risen in rank to Duke with his father's passing.

So, I've been flipping through some of the old Auxiliary pages - Namely:
OFFICIAL CONNLAOTH CIVIL WAR REFERENCE PAGE (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741)
Connlaothian Duchy Information Pages
(http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16377)

Based on the "Current as of 2017" information, both Ardal and Vythe are ruled by retired users.

I only mentioned this in passing a while back but I've since fallen in love with the idea, given their (likely) contested nature and my group's proximity to the area, I was thinking Alexis and the AshGuards' first big play would be to take control of one of these Duchy and ally outright with rebel forces...

I haven't posted any updates on Duchy availability since I was waiting to hear back from a few members, but those are one of the plotting points that will be discussed in the coming months! Those duchies in particular I will have to get back to you on since I can't recall off the top of my head their particulars but I'll get back to you soon on this!

Just posting here since not everyone is on discord for plots- but I'm open to start plotting things for this event so shoot me a DM, message me on discord or post here your characters and thoughts! I'd love to see your thoughts of stories you want to develop around this dynamic and (once a lot more active >_> ) event!

The following duchys are/ will be open for plots and leaders as we wind down and work on the last few chapters of the Civil War in Connlaoth.

Ardal, Vythe and Ahjfeld
Keep on mind it's a blood line patriarchy and odds are that they'd be more along the lines of supporting the Grand Duke-

But toss me your ideas for politics and drama!

Ardal has been claimed!
@Solaire and his character, Valen (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=26920.msg389968#msg389968).

This still leaves open Ahjfeld and Vythe.

Ahjfeld was pretty decimated by the war and the Grand Duke is pushing to get it reestablished under a prounion control. Blood line does play a part but war hero's would be considered!

Vythe's family recently fell but can have some wiggle room as well. It's not without its wounds from the war. We seek a new Duke for these lands as well!
They were known for their supply efforts for the war but can be molded into other means, like mining etc since there are mountains.

Message me or post here if you're interested and have questions!


Also the following Dukes may be in search of wives!
Duke Edward Draven of Highheart (maybe? Depends @Draconian ? I believe their was meant to be marriage complications?) Correct me if I'm wrong!

*I also would be up for replacements here if the ideas are delicious enough 🤔


Duke Leif Arrant of Castavar- his wife has been lost to the war, but he's a pretty awful candidate as husband but hey.. he's a Duke (with an alternative masked ego he dawns at night )

Aaaaaand
Potentionally the Grand Duke, as his wife had fallen ill and passes a few years ago

I know I'm a little sporadic on posts these days, but I'd be down to throw Reina at Leif as maybe some sort of political bargaining chip? Her family is already strengthens ties in Connlaoth with one sibling, they may as well shoot for two lol. Only if that's of interest to you tho!

She and her family could definitely try! Leif is pretty arrogant and would not come to the decision to wed lightly.

So now that I'm looking to organize an 'after math' of the civil war; who is up for PEACE TALKS?

The war has been going on for so long, I think it's time a discussion to settle the event ought to be a thing as a soonish event in the timeline of the war.
Obviously things can't just be so smooth, but a lot of the duchies are tired of the war and want things resolved, so a lot of battles have dwindled off and it's more or less back to just the Grand Duke's men versus the current Turgall army and mage supporting resistance.

Naturally, this would coax the Grand Duke into 'Peace Talks'- but... just how well could this even go? And... would those still opposing the Grand Duke even wish to meet in hopes to find some sort of semblance of peace?
Keep in mind, prior to the event, the duchies always had little skirmishes against one another, so- we shall see!

How peaceful can a peace talks be? XD

Let me know your thoughts and plots!
