End of Empires - N3S III

You seem to be ambling towards Republicanism, even if you haven't realized it yet :p
 
Ahem NK stats please. I won't send orders without stats.

Working on a story called the One and the Shadow to refresh peoples' memories/tell them about the religion of the One that will go here or if we go on another page or two that page.

Am I the only one suddenly horrified?
 
Ahem NK stats please. I won't send orders without stats.

Provisional stats:

Order of the One - Vertinari118
Culture: Duroc, Weak
Religion: Dualism
Government: Secret Society
Income: 250
Military: 100 professionals (Upkeep: 200)
Manpower: 1,000 men
Description: An ancient and secretive order, these people are just beginning to come out of the shadows, though they claim to have had a significant role in past historical events.

Might as well do these as well:

Lor - Zaerun
Culture: Lorean, Weak
Religion: Polytheism
Government: Proto-Republic
Income: 500
Military: 1,000 militia (Upkeep: 200)
Manpower: 2,500 men
Description: A new and strange people in the north, the Loreans are probably relatives to the Ederru, but live on the other side of the Yadyevu Sea.
 
Does that mean all other stats are now up-to-date? I'm afraid I don't have the old ones to compare.

Boyrn's Declarations


Upon the Nature of our Existence.

-The Ytauzian definition of Existence: the sum-all of everything that is, everything that was, and everything that can be.
-We exist by nature. Nature does not exist by our being.
-There are two composing and complimentary forces that form our Existence. There is the force of Construction (the Runn) and the force of the Deconstruction (the Rhidtath). These two forces form our Existence, our Plane, and our World. It is not possible to exist without the presence of the forces.
-By their nature, these two forces are combined into a singular entity. This is best thought in the concept of the classical 'Line of Existence', an impossible situation used to example the nature of our world. The two forces can be thought of as a combined line that possesses nether beginning nor ending. If you were to imagine looking at this line from left to right, you would be witnessing the Runn- the line of Construction. Imagine if you were to be shown the other side of the line- and if you were to look at the line from right to left. If this was done, then you would be witnessing the Rhidtath- the line of Deconstruction. This two lines, which are but a single in being, are combined to form Existence.
-Instead of running horizontal, the line of Existence runs vertical.
-Existence is divided into seven distinct planes, each one possessing neither beginning nor ending. Returning the the Line of Existence, this would result in the line being divided into seven equal pieces that lack beginning or ending. Each one of these, a separate plane, possesses its own world, beings, and rules.
-The Mind, aside its physical nature, is eternal is nature. Upon death in our plane, the mind passes to either upwards or downwards along the line of Existence. The Mind, eternal, can not be destroyed.


I dislike the way this turned out, but it is a start.

Home

The Sun sets against my back
I see you in my dreams
Long have I wandered east
Just to long for you in my heart.
My heart is there with you.





(Literal)
Home

Against my back the sun sets
In my dreams you I see
Wandered east long I have
In my heart just to long for you.
There with you my heart dwells.
 
Thanks a lot NK!:goodjob:Orders soon.

At Darkening. Read the res of the post and you will find it the Shadow implying, correctly, that the religion has two 'gods'. Anyway mine came first Thayli's propbably stolen it.
 
You seem to be ambling towards Republicanism, even if you haven't realized it yet :p

Republicanism is a distant yet distinct possibility, and much less distant in the 17th century Poland sense of the word, but technically I have other plans. It depends on how things turn out for the next few turns, though. We might out-republic and over-republic you yet if need be. :p

but Vert deleted his posts

Why did he do that, anyway?

Anyway mine came first Thayli's propbably stolen it.

A-ha-ha-ha. ;) If that wasn't a joke, see LINES II. Also, see it for why Thlayli is beating a very, very dead horse in this update. :lol:
 
Can I have a secret society, a Holy Order of Aya'se would work rather nicely.

Notice:

Masada is accepting tenders for a Holy Order of Aya'se, religious zealots, prospective crusaders, and xenophobic nationalists need apply. The prospective applicant would need to wear acceptable garb, be properly armed, and exhibit a certain degree of unmitigated contempt for all non-believers. The most successful candidates would also have a penchant for mass murder and pyromania. Please forward all such requests to Masada at Masada's PM box.

@Das
Who said anything about having a choice... ;)
 
The south-wise-man-Kleo of the Iralliam says, "Life is a choice between joining the family of the Good-God and joining the family of the Evil-God." We shall choose our own path regardless of your mutterings, flippered-trader, for we are ruled by me and I am the first-born son of the Crimson Elephant and the sole master of our destiny!

:p
 
@Das

We are the sons and daughters of Aya'se, Matah and Pa. This worlds is theirs, and ours. All will join the Union, as functioning Republics, or face the consequences. We care not for your quaint customs, or petty Ancestors, we rule you even if you do not realize it. And stop using a bastardized form of our language and writing!

:p

(Not actual Diplomacy, just an OOC, IC bit of fun poking with Das).

@Thayli

I don't think by definition Elephants can have genocide committed against them, unless you happen to be Elephants... otherwise I'm in total agreement, this world needs some ethnic cleaning up.
 
(for IC purposes you may regard this whole exchange as an argument between a Sesh merchant or diplomat and Gaci's successor)

Foolish Fish Family merchants! Know that the world is a circle and the feast-tent of Eso Kotuu is in its middle, whilst you are at its edge! Your Ancestor was a fish and his son had the mind of an animal and ran away to the sea, and his descendants have lost both the semblance of the people and the knowledge of the Great Family and the Good Council, as well as that of the true invention of the human and godlike language by Great-Family-Chief-of-Chiefs Eso Kotuu and of the written word by Moti-Chief-of-Chiefs Frei - this we have known for generations, but now it has become apparent that you also lost the basic decency of humans, and are reduced to petty fish-insults.

Your people are fish - swim with your brothers in the seas, and come up to the coast to trade - that I shall tolerate. But know that you have no legitimate family-claims on the surface-land. Some deserts and wastes I will let you occupy, if you are well-behaved. But if you continue to insult our ancestors, the ancestors of the world and the Moti Great Family, then I shall be forced to punish you by raising the tolls for your merchants thrice. Thus say I, the first-born son of the Crimson Elephant!
 
(agreed, perhaps a merchant slinging mud is fun ;))

Foolish wayward child of Aya'se. Know that the Seshweay were old before this world was born, before it was even conceived by the Old Ones, for our Ancestors were aged beyond the sum of all the stars in their domain and so are we. The Old Ones created this world in their image, before their sons and daughters took it from them, and then gave it unto their children; us. They bequeathed us the Republic, the Tales of the Seshweay struck into bronze, and their language. You are our sons and daughters, the imperfect get of some madman long in the grave. But none the less our children, did not Aya'se say of all his children that they should be kept safe from harm, even unto themselves?

And children you are, for none in the north deny his word, or his deed and his holiness. For that you are thrice damned, damned by ignorance of his words, damned by the ignorance of his deeds and damned with a government of one. You are ought but babes in arms, for our Ancestors wrote not of your existance, pitiful it must have been to not even warrant a word. Even the ancient enemies two, Arkage and Satarai warranted a mention, for yours there is nothing. Silence resounds for the wayward children of Aya'se and for that we know you are lost.

Faith begets humanity, humanity begets liberty, liberty begets culture, and culture begets Union. For that lack we intend to impose it in the manner of a parent punishing a wayward child long lost to the fold.
 
Hi there,

Is there a suitable nation I could play and not mess other peoples game? Also, is there a deadline for the next round of orders?
 
The most out of the way nation at this point which still has potential to do stuff is either the Nahari Empire (basically a little nation which has just been quietly conquering tiny states and cleaning up the eastern side of the map), or something else in that region (if you want a smaller state, let me know, there are a couple who you could take who aren't on the map right now). That part of the world is pretty much the most out of the way at the moment.

EDIT: Orders are due this coming Saturday.
 
Oh, it's worth noting that this upcoming update, due to things like the Hu'ut war, etc., is probably going to be only about 25 years long.
 
I heartily approve of this last bit.

EDIT:

EDIT: Orders are due this coming Saturday.

But the update is on Thanksgiving? Or earlier?
