Fantasy The Weight of the Crown

I USE CAPS AND I'M A BRAZILIAN SOOOOOOO.

*wipes a bead of floridian sweat* WHEW

What timezone you at? Cause from my perspective the deadline just passed with 6 sign-ups.

Lol folks have to the stroke of midnight tomorrow evening. I'm Eastern Standard.

 

[LeviathanL]

So 30.5 hours?

 

[Elle Joyner]

Somewhere in that timeframe

 

[Syrenrei]

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! (I use caps because I am American )

 

[LeviathanL]

Can't help but notice there is a lot of silver in Ellemar. At least two countries mine it extensively and there is apparently enough of the stuff to outfit an entire army with it.

 

[Effervescent]

Whoa that's a lot of silver!

 

[LeviathanL]

Even the characters from nations who are not explicitly mining silver still have their crowns and circlets (and in one case entire armor), made from it.


Thinking about it this does not reduce immersion, might even make it more realistic as mineral veins seldom care about borders, but it could lead to story confusion when talking about silver legion vs silvernest vs the nest or whatever, but I'm sure that will work itself out.

I'm just kind of crying because I also placed my Kingdom in the northwestern foothills and made inheritance pass to first born regardless of gender and now I have rewriting to do. xD


EDIT: I suppose shuffling it to be western, between the mountain and the shore, might work with minimal edits.

 

[Effervescent]

Silver is established as a common metal! I suppose if it's good for crafting armor it would make for good trade still.

why? My country has no specific gender rules too.

The silver standard

Your King. I died. xD I'm dying. I'm literally dying. Galavant is my favorite thing ever.

While it's possible I missed that in the multiple times I have read everyone's kingdoms, I didn't mark it down as official policy unless it was explicitly stated. England has had Queens throughout history but it was still a patriarchal society.

I did not explicitly state gender roles in my sheet. Off the record I figured that a country revolving around wealth and assassination wouldn't care about the gender of the hand plunging the dagger in your back. But even it the general consensus will be patriarchal it won't really change my sheet save for my antagonist characters.


btw, silver being common doesn't mean it isn't valuable. Diamonds are also common but because the trade is controlled they are very expensive.

I gave Dusk the suggestion of plotting with you to have either sister-kingdoms (separate rulers, but sharing territory) or having been sister-kingdoms that separated. Totally up to y'all to plot it out, but then no one'll have to change anything

 

[RZA]

Whoa that's a lot of silver!

i mighta got carried away just a lil

 

[Elle Joyner]

IS IT A GOOD DYING OR A BAD DYING I'VE NEVER SEEN IT

And it's a good dying. The show is absolutely the funniest thing on television. Honest to God, I cry watching it xD

[/QUOTE]
I'm definitely down for either as long as she is!! If not, I can easily change mine to central so she doesn't have to edit hers again!

 

[Dusky]

No worries! I'd love to plot some plotty things with you.

 

[LeviathanL]

Wait, that king is the guy from psych. And the other king is the south-african actor from district 9, elysium and powers. I didn't know they had period pieces.

 

[Syrenrei]

Timothy Omundson is amazing. I'd have to pick this king though:

LIKELIKELIKE

FYI: Prata Lago translates to Silver Lake. I had planned on setting up Mármor as a silver mining country, but it's obvious why I didn't follow through with that.
