TerraNES: The Civil Experiment

Druidic =/= Celtic. Hamburg and Ipren are eastern, "semi-keltic" (definitely not Germanic) peoples are following the druids while Kentus, a Keltic people, are Faithful.

The Brittany one could completely fit. the gods could not have created something like that did they? The only thing that needs to be true when making a Druidic Flag is that it has to be something unnatural that you wouldn't find in nature.

OOC: I was really stuck between Brave Hearting it or role playing properly.

Although our priests could never diplomatically submit heaven to a man, the Exaltation of Etass shall admit itself into your empire. There are two points of negotiation, however, and because our men are still strong, we wish to discuss openly the points of territory and revenue.

Etass proposes the current Etassian de facto territory remain, and for Hyak to relinquish the envisionaries, their villages, military etc. back to Etass. (Basically the areas which are predominately orange on the map shall become the realm of Etass, and those which orange has only seeped into will be relinquished to you)

Etass accepts the 1/5 income tribute, however, as you shall be defender of Etass, we expect all future military expenditures (the EP upkeep) will be paid for by Hyak. Furthermore, we'd like your first action, to demonstrate good will to the fair Kitabalist (a term we use not to diminish the prowess of Tarias) people of Etass, to be reparations for the 2 EP monetary sinkhole this conflict has caused. This should also act to begin trade among our regions, and prevent your perceived worry of Etass becoming a major impediment to commerce.

Terrance, you want an explanation for the Vahlshallahn flag or just leave it as it is?

I'm fine. I gave everyone an extra week of warning to finish up the flag submissions.

I'm thinking orders are due the 15th, and a relatively quick update right after that.

Also: Bravehearting is cool, but I prefer good RP.

Understood Terrance, I'll also have orders in as soon as possible.

Such shall be the lands over which you shall reign forevermore. Your envisionaries and allies may migrate freely into your lands as you see fit. As you will be granted the freedom and funds to govern your own kingdom, you will pay for your own military should you choose to keep one. It may participate in foreign campaigns or remain at home for defense, whichever you desire. Alternatively, you may integrate yourself more fully into the High-Kingdom by increasing your tithes, so that Hyak leads your army directly and you need not provide for their upkeep at all. There is not middle ground in this matter- either fund your own army with your own coffers, or incorporate your army into that of Hyak so that we may ensure your protection directly.

What damage has been done by this war will be recompensed with far more investment than your requested sum, in the form of new roads, walls, ports, and the repair of the cities themselves, so that both Etass and the High Kingdom will be enriched. Together, we will drive north to the trading seas, and Etass will emerge greater than ever before, as the northern gateway of the greatest empire Levea has yet seen.

The sound of sparring and thunks of arrows hitting targets could be heard by Queen Aerona as she walked out onto the balcony. She looked over the courtyard and watched the soldiers in training. All were purely volunteers to fight for Druidism so, she had organized them into units. "What would you like to call yourselves?" she remembered asking their leader who had abrubtly responded with, "We would call ourselves the daughters of the Trinity." Ever since then, they had constantly been training under Aerona's watchful eye. These soldiers would be the perfect balance concerning the Unsullied... she thought as another arrow hit the bullseye. She then looked over to the left and saw them sparring with their hands and feet. She left when the domesticated wolves were brought out.

She went to the other courtyard of her own personal fortress to see the Unsullied training. They looked far more professional in their stark lines as they fought a mock battle against eachother. A loud crack was heard as the two shield walls smacked into eachother. This seemed far more boring than the "DoT" training so she went back inside into the throne room.

How about call your area North or New Valyria and not change our area's name :0

How did I change your name? Your area is the Western Seas, we call you Ctyria... what's the matter?

The scholars of House Beurtgang object to the oversight of the area known to foreigners as "eastern Keltia" and its proper name of "The Most Righteous Domain of Our Lord of the Beurtgang, Protector of the Dhanriag and the Britanni of Kentus".

, very nice Beurtgang.

I'm thinking of trying to form a cohesive union of nations in Eastern Keltia, interested in joining? The invitations were initially extended to Hamburg and Pommerania, but I extend one to you as well, to rule and split Eastern Keltia/Rhineland with me.

Let me remind you; We named our country after our region. Not what you are doing at all. It would more likely be called Gyrmana if anything.

This is acceptable to us. More lebensraum for all, and such.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD the rhineland is a few hundred miles eastwards than IRL.

Spire is on the Elbe, and the other two are on the Oder rivers. The area west of the Rhine and east of the Elbe is Ostavic in "ethnicity' but are primitive druids.

Basically, pre-Beurtgang/Valyria. The Kelts have the North European Plain+Brittania all the way to Denmark. The Frenks are the westernmost part of the Ostavic migration right behind the Kelts, and they have established themselves mostly on the southern edge of Keltia, reaching the northern sea only at the Seine. Buertgang and Hamburg are non-France area Keltic peoples. The Danubian areas are Non-Ostavan or Frenkish Ostavic peoples.

Also, Longbards and the Bloodfyres were Ostavic peoples as well.

With all this history, we could fill an entire library with this material. It gets rather confusing at times, no?

Library no...

Wiki? Yes.

From Edguar

To Sarrukan-sar



The northern gateway shall be the domain of Etass. We are admitting ourselves into your empire with the express condition of major amounts of autonomy. As our protector, we shall submit a tithe, and we promise active participation in the wars for Tarias. Within Etass Tarias can officially be elevated to the status of the highest god. However we neither require nor desire investment here. We shall build the roads, the walls, the ports, and so forth ourselves, as any other agreement would fundamentally contradict the autonomy your doctrine.

Traders may pass and do business within the Etassian borders provided above, but the government of Etass will determine how the roads are built and so forth. If the High King desires expediting the construction, he can entrust funds to us, and we can guarantee their use on further roads. Why would any people not want trade? However the administration of such projects and the lands they occupy will be dominantly Etassian.

We await further negotiation.

Note: Most of the "scattered" areas such as the roads are due to their culture and their organization. Hyak would find it very hard to take over the government of those areas, as they simply represent "ungovernable but friendly" areas.

I figured that might be the case. Are they friendly to anyone who traverses them? Or particularly Etass?
