LINESII- Into the Darkness

Ah. In that case... Au revoir?
 
It's French and means "at our next meeting" or "until we meet again". Very mcu hlike Adieu is "by God" (à Dieu). I'm not a French teacher, but I think you get the picture.

Hehe... Until living gods will come to devour your soul ;)
 
@Iggy: I did NOT try to convert Gerber lands to Crystalism. I even pointed out that this was not a religious outreach. Observe:

"... Stress the fact that the Church and State is separated, and that the Gerber need not convert to Crystalism, and is allowed to follow whatever religion they worship."

You can confirm it by reading my orders again.
 
darkness engulfed the void, and out of the dark came a voice:
"c'mon GOORA, you can do it! dont be afraid. im right behind you.
"Oh, shut up father! im trying to create a world here! how can i concentrate when you keep telling be to not be afraid?
several moments pass in silence
"GOORA? you still there?
a sigh "yes, papa. still here. do you want to help me?
"good that you asked me, dear. i've got a wonderful idea.
"NO PAPA. i dont want to create an undergound watery world. its too much like when i was inside mother.
i dont think my children would like that.
i want this to be a brightly lit place, where the sun shall shine and meat will be bountiful.
"dearest, how about this? we make it a vast dry place? full of light and joy?
"sounds interesting, papa, but we have to make it challenging, otherwise my children shall become stunted by ease of life.
"we could try what we did 3 times ago. remember that ice patch? and the seals?
"yea, but remember why we abandoned it! they didnt make it through 3 aeons.
i want an experiment that will last!
"ok. lets put them in a rich world. but leave them on an icy plane. like you said, they need a challenge.
"oh papa. why must they suffer?
"they must come onto this world in pain and darkness, for they shall leave it like that: alone and afraid!
"they must live in the light of your blessings and struggle to achieve it.
you know that you children are ungrates that need to be disciplined before you give them gifts of knowledge and governorships.
"yes. dont remind me!
i still think this science project is foolish!
maybe ill just train a hamster to configure the sun's warmth?
NO, GOORA. you accepted this and must abide by the rules.
place your children at the ends of the earth, and some day, they shall surge forth and rule over all.

*******

that, my son, is how the ancient ones tell of the creation of our people.
but you know that GOORA, bless her and vanquish her enemies, allows none but us believe that.
it is my hope that one day you shall take our people out of the glorious snow and onto our rightful place -
RULERS OF ALL OF HUMANITY

suddenly a scratch at the tent flap and loud voices from outside:


Chief! Chief!

Terrible news!

Our beloved Helad has passed away! What shall we do?



We shall consult GOORA, Mighty Goddess of Life!

I, Thula Zam, shall delve into the bowels of a youngling fowl and find out why it is that at such a delicate time our fearless leader has fallen victim to GOORA’s emissary Valko.

Bring me my robes!

We leave at once!



Running away in dread of his holiness’ brusque orders, Zammy had a thought.

How did his holiness know that Helad was trampled by his own horse?

He did not tell him that it had happened like that, did he?

I must have, thought Zammy, it couldn’t be his holiness, I know he was at the village shrine these last days, meditating.

It was just bad luck.



A few hours pass, and at the village’s centre a gathering is taking place.



“hear me, Oh people of Gamorra!

I have this sad day, seen the demise of our beloved Haled!

I have forseen it in the entrails of the young horses.

I saw it in the pickled brains of the weak Forna folk!

I have seen it in the stars and the snowy plains!

It has been his unfortunate choice to DISOBEY THE COMMANDS OF GOORA!

AND GOORA SHALL NOT TOLERATE THIS!



I have seen the Goddess in all her glory, and such are her commands:

We must muster our flocks and head south!

Our life here in the windy plains has prepared us for the role GOORA has chosen for us.

It is our destiny to rule the world!

Such has GOORA spoken!

Such have I!

assemble our flocks, harverst the seals and the caribu!
our time has come!
let humanity await in dread and tremble in fear before our charge!


***************
howdie all,
meet us, THE GAMOREAN PEOPLE,
nomads from the far north, ready willing and able to take our proper place as leaders of the known world.
just joined this here NES,
awaiting his Lordship's Iggy placement on the map (far north) and contact list to commence diplo!

final details about my nation will be published here soon.
 
Oooh. Interesting.
 
To Veritas
From Kehexou
We hope this situation can be resolved without violence, but we fight beside our friends.
 
From: Shalamari
To: Tristaria, Gerberia, Nkondi

We strongly suggest that you abstain from this so-called "crusade". It is only a means for Veritas to bend you to its will, and it will be your fields that burn in such a war. Do not be drawn into a war that will wreak your nations, and save the civilized world from a cataclysmic war by refusing Veritas' "offer". For such a war will surely be avoided if neither of you allow armies to move through your borders. Consider wisely. The future of all peoples are resting on your judgment.
From: Gerberia
We, to be honest, dislike both sides. They prevented us from conquering the Pathetic Moguls, who barely deserved independence.

From: Nkondi
Not our problem. The south people can do whatever they want.

From: Tristaria
We do have an alliance with Veritas. But this pact is defensive, and against Eldrania, which no longer exists. We currently see little reason to aid Veritas in an offensive war.
 
HA OH YEA OOOOOH YEAAAAAA time to pwn you thlaylia i have my gnomes ready and waiting!! COOKIE POWER ACTIVATE!!! FORM OF A MOOSE
 
From: Veritas
To: Tristaria


Very well, we understand your position.

From: Veritas
To: Kehexou, Dava


We appreciate the support, and hope that Khemri agrees to peace.


OOC: Is Terris still playing Emor? I haven't seen him post lately.

@Kentharu-You would need some sort of navy in order to pwn me, which you...don't have. :D
 
most of your nation is on the main land, so yea im not that worried you cant get ships into the main land except through rivers, which i shall control!! :evil:

This is an awful bad time for Kal'Thzar to be away methinks.


Tell me about it! Then again, it fits the decapitated leadership of Khemri in an IC sense, I did just kill their king and capture their entire royal family.
 
Thlayli said:
@SS: Tristaria has an alliance with us, and the Nkondi hate you. ;) Not sure about Gerber, but you guys don't look too friendly either.

But seriously, we don't plan on annexing any Khemran territory at the moment.

They hating me is beside the point when I speak the truth. And I was condemning your militarism/warmongering, not your conquest spree (which is a whole chapter on it's own). ;)

@IGGY: I assume that I shall assume it was a slip on your side, that about Gerberia?
 
Gerberia says what it feels. It's going to be a neutral here, unless someone gives it a good enough reason to join their side.

I was referring to the update where you said that Gerber was angered by Shalamari trying to convert them to Crystalism, something I did not. I posted about it eariler as well.
 
No, you didn't order it. But they felt threatened nonetheless. Plus, some overzealous Crystalists worked outside of your government to convert. Powerful religions can often have that happen.
 
Meh. Two things: If this was truly so, why didn't you write it in the update? Wasn't it obvious I would whine about it later on? And if it was simply a quick cover story you made right now, I would prefer it if you just said it was a mistake...

EDIT: I know I am whining, but that is because I care enough to whine. ;) This NES is good.
