MKeaton - Posted: Mon, 02 Oct 2000 21:39:52 GMT
At long last, welcome to 1421.
Events:
Aixelsydan:
After over a decade of silence, the Earthen Veil is again brought to the
forefront of the minds of the people of Aixelsydan. Myriad rumors abound as
reports begin to come in that the battlefields surrounding the Earthen Veil
are haunted by the spirits of those who died there. Thus far, nothing has
occured other than sightings of strange apparitions, recreating the battles
in which they fell.
Cormenaera:
As another round of internal dissention bordering on civil war breaks out,
Cormenaera is forced to withdraw from the Orasareni Defence League too keep
more troops at home.
The Shanari:
Due to unseasonably heavy rains (Burcancy, divine intervention, or just
plain chance--no one knows), the Wry remains high on its floodplain almost a
month longer than expected, slowing the Sinari military advance on Unnirand.
The Tana:
The Queen She? , leader of all things Tana, the Elder Council, and the Quan
Council recieve appeals from a string of small villages dotting the eastern
border of Tana. The locals are being terrorized by a wild beast which has
aquired a taste for human flesh which strikes once or twice a week, killing
its victims or dragging them into the surrounding wildlands. The exact
nature of the beast is unknown.
Tanimbar:
With the war in the north escalating, the Tanimbar experience a mark
increase in trade. (How they choose to handle this is up to them)

Action II, III, IV: Free the Eerith With the artifact that they discovered last year Mir has desided. It is time once again to try and free the Eerith. The Archmage, Facresa, most of the Council and all of the Mirish mages in the area will cast the spell.

Atares gi'Calaa Actions 1421 NStevens - Posted: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 01:25:51 GMT Some new converts are added to Kel'ren'aie during the exposition last year, because of the poor performance of a few Celpali priests during this past year. Aerisa watched the Celpali women. They are a fascinating lot, she thought to herself. She was one of the privileged few of the females of Larai'rathi to be permitted to be in public in Celpalar. Her son helped her walk, for she was old in years. Yes, she thought to herself, these people will make a fruitful addition to my people. We, and they, just need more time to adjust to each other, then the merging will be much easier. And as she walked along the streets, she perceived the youth and vigor in this race. We shall be as one, someday. Action I Strategic-Internal (2 of 2, but continual action within that time frame) Type: Religious Symposium Actor: Prelate Le'noir Summary: Gathering festival to share common theology of Kel'ren'aie and Celpalar religion. We are trying to let people decide which is right. (Even though we Laria'rathi already know we are right.) Secrecy: Public inside Atares gi'Calaa and Celpalar, secret outside. Primary Determinant: Religious Sophistication Superb (+3), Consent Legendary (+4) Secondary Determinant: Religious Diversity Terrible (-3) Task: Very Hard (-2), this has never been attempted before! Modifiers: + pre-planning by Celpalar + Celpalar action Reaction: Risky Results so far: +3 -2 +1 (+1 -1 0 -1) + () With the success of the colonizing missions to Stone Isle and the region now called Co'naaers, the People are becoming more adamant about expanding ourselves to all the islands to the northeast. They also want to have military outposts further from the homeland, so we can have more advanced warnings of threats and also just to be more aware of our surroundings. A few even desire to move to Celpalar to strengthen relations with our neighbor. But we will still keep the bulk of our forces and People inside the Shield Guard of the Golaren Canopy, to remain hidden and deceptive to outside powers of our true nature. Thus military outposts will be established on the northeastern isles, the isles directly north, the isles directly northwest, the archipelago directly southeast, and a small naval outpost way-station (especially for Celpalar transportation) directly south of Sout of Razania, located on the opposing coast. Also civilian colonies will be founded jointly with the outposts on the northeastern isles. Land grants will be offered as more incentives for those desiring to relocate to the isles. Celpalar will, of course, be offered an invitation to join us in our colonization expedition, and in our building of military outposts. (These joint outposts may yield a bonus for Action IV.) Action II Strategic-External (1 of 2) Type: Colonization Actor: Margrave Nath'sev Summary: Colonize the remainder of the Avaerean Isles, and also ask again for some Laria'rathi to move to the designated and secluded place on Celpalar. And build military outposts in outlying islands. Secrecy: Normal Primary Determinant: Crafts Superb (+3) Secondary Determinant: Marine Size Great (+2) [for defense], Consent Superb (+3) [motivation to succeed], Exploitation Great (+2) [finding ways to survive], Influence Great (+2) [motivating to move] Task: Normal (+0) Modifiers: ++ success from previous colonizations ++ primary orientation conquest and acquisition, secondary orientation expansion + colonization preparations have been underway for many years - any unforeseen consequences of native land + familiar and prosperous environment and climate Reaction: Business as usual Upon discovery of the mysteriously intact room in the ruins with magic emanating from it, well-disciplined guards are posted to keep watch over the room, now under quarantine, reporting any signs of activity. Meanwhile, the scholars, magi, and church are pondering what to do with it. Celpalar as well will be asked for help in this endeavor. Action III Tactical-Internal Type: Intelligence/Research Actor: Prince Sel'pa Summary: Study the room, and the related ruins. Secrecy: Normal Primary Determinant: Scholastics Sophistication Superb (+3), Magic Sophistication Superb (+3) Secondary Determinant: Intelligence Gathering Legendary (+4), Celpalar Relations Good (+1) Task: Hard (-1) Modifiers: - fear + Celpalar help Reaction: Public to principality, secret elsewhere Using the Celpalar transport fleet, some Laria'rathi diplomats and accompanying entourage will be sent to Aryisa, Razan, Taltheran, and Tanimbar. Their public tasks are to open diplomatic relations with each nation, possibly limited trade (basic goods) if deemed appropriate. They state they are from a city on the northern coast called Co'gles. Their private mission is to gather any and all intelligence on each nation. They will be discrete, and will not, if and upon questioning, reveal the existence of the other diplomats in the other countries. This operation will be, for the most part, casual observation. If opportunity presents itself further investigation will not be hesitant. In Taltheran, contact will be pursued and relations opened with the king, merchant houses and the wizard's guild. In Aryisa, diplomats will hint at some ways to support and help them, implying they agree with their cause, but not explicitly stating so. In Razan, subtle suggestions will be made to supply armaments to the Razanians in their war effort. And in Tanimbar, friendly and then trade relations will be pursued as well as suggesting assistance against Cedonia. Action IV Intelligence Gathering Legendary (+4), but half due to passive nature of mission Diplomacy Legendary (+4) Non-humans (-2?) Relations non-existent (-2) Task Normal (+0)
Mir 1421 Actions I, II, III, IV (resolution of 2-4) MKeaton - Posted: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 14:11:51 GMT | Action I: Countiue with Battle | | Same as last Year. | | Action II, III, IV: Free the Eerith | | With the artifact that they discovered last year Mir has desided.

Normally, this would be an epic or greater task and originally was, but repeated application of efforts and research such as finding the artifact have combined to lower the difficulty) | Weight: triple (+2) | Actors: Sorcerers | Secrecy: Sin-Alb | Modifiers:+ The Artifact | + All the mages (after discussion, it was decided that this bonus would not be applicable since these same mages would be needed to maintain defense against the Sinari agression) | + Facresa abilities +4-3+2+1+1+(+1-1-1-1)=+3 Oh, what a mess. After all these centuries, it's really down. That is not, necessarily a good thing. The short version: .The Eerith are free from their sleeping prison. Some Eerith (or Eerith-like beings) remain loyal to Sin-Alb but most immediately flee south. Some among the Mir are concerned that, if the prison was also restraining Sin-Alb, then he too may be freed. .Despite the lowering of the shield, the immediate stance of the city remains unchanged. It's still in Unnirand. It still floats. No weird surprises along those lines. (great sigh of relief) .To the shock of the Mir, the "Scepter" provided to them by the Eerith is not the same scepter as they have been seeking. The Eerith are unconcerned with Mirrish accusations of treachery, replying simply that "We have dealt with Mir too long to act with good faith. Now that you have provided us with the services we required, we will honor our portion of the agreement." The Mir are given the location of the Scepter they have been seeking (this location, after consulting their own libraries and histories, makes a lot more sense than where the previous version was found. I'll leave it to Jason to decide if he wishes to make the location public.). .In the hours after the release, both the King of the Wood and the "Scepter" escape notice (presumably returning to the Onigar peoples). .While comparing notes after the event, the Council is disturbed by two abnormalities during the performance of the ritual. One is that the Sinari Seeresses, during the ritual, were acting but not, as expected, in opposition to the Mir but, instead, either in supplication to Sin-Alb or, even more disturbing, to aid Mir. The second abnormality is Facresa herself who seems to be inordinately powerful compared to her purported background and training.
Celpalar RESULTS Jtsl - Posted: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 00:11:10 GMT Action I Title: Global free trade ! Type: External; Strategic. Time: Year 2 of 4 Task: Mythic (-4) Secrecy: We proclam ! Risk: Utmost.

Difficulty: Normal Secrecy: None Risk: Failing. Prime Determinant: Trade: Great (+2) Modifiers: Our global trade plan: +1 Our trade base in Burcancy, just in the right position: +1 Our good trade relations with Mir +1 Description: With the Torphanites trying to improve their trade, we can offer them an opportunity of trading at very low cost. They just need to bring their stuff to Burcancy, where we have a trade base. As Torphan already ships stuff to Mir, a very central place in Midsea, it easy to distribute trade all around. And as Mir is an allied state, we can monitor possible Torphan spy activity For us, it's just an increase of our trade but to them, it gives an access to a global trade network. +2 +2 (-1 -1 0 +1) = +3 Torphan increases it trade through Mir. While it does not open a trade route through Burcancy, Celplar does gain some access to the trade that come through Mir. Realtions with Torphan open at Fair.

Actor: King Bar-Ri (authorithy on military: Great) Description: With our army near Wyr and the Sinari not far... we are getting even more cautious. We don't want to fight, just to get out alive. Main goal is to operate our junction is Cedonian forces. Since the King is with the army he is able to make all needed decisions on the field without asking orders from Celpalar. The point is our excellent army is our only army. So we don't want an attrition war, we want to integrate the allied army and then to fight a conventional battle where our heavy infantry can hold the center of the line. So, that's why all our magic is focused on dissimulation, not warfare. We won't reply to Sinari provocations. If we can use our navy for support (or better evacuation), very fine. Modifiers: +1, Navy support. - The Enemy. - The Weather (Dealing with events would affect them to as they are travling in the same area the Sinari are.) -2 +3 +1 -2 (-1 0 +1 -1) = -1 Failure The rainy season does a number on the army as cold and the flue hit the army.

Type: Magical, Internal Task: Very Difficult (-2) (Mythic (-4)) Secrecy: Yes (not L'R) Risk: Failure and also some darker risks.... Prime Determinant: magic sophistication: Great (+2) Secondary Determinant: Scholastics sophistication: Great (+2), it's research business. Description: Since our ennemy has gone out of common league, we also need some more support. I know it's bad, but well: we are trying to revive the dark ways of ancient Avareans. We are tryng to re-open the channels toward the lower plans. We are not yet summoning demons, just getting the contact and learning: rituals, names and making new compacts. We are very very cautious. We practice binding magic and wards. Modifiers: L'R help (including our common magical school in Taul Naur) +1 -1 Celpalar does not have a natural gateway. (The main Avarean island did.) -4 +2 +1 -1 (0 +1 -1 -1 ) = -3 Faliure They mages attempted to open the gateway and it just back fires. Many of the mages are killed or stund. Looking back over it the mages discover that they do not have the knowlegde, the power, or a natural gateway. Lacking all three of theses pervents them from opening the gateway. - 1 to any action invovling the mages. for the next 3 years.

One is that the Sinari Seeresses, during the ritual, were acting but not, as expected, in opposition to the Mir but, instead, either in supplication to Sin-Alb or, even more disturbing, to aid Mir. The second abnormality is Facresa herself who seems to be inordinately powerful compared to her purported background and training.

Main goal is to operate our junction is Cedonian forces. Since the King is with the army he is able to make all needed decisions on the field without asking orders from Celpalar. The point is our excellent army is our only army. So we don't want an attrition war, we want to integrate the allied army and then to fight a conventional battle where our heavy infantry can hold the center of the line. So, that's why all our magic is focused on dissimulation, not warfare. We won't reply to Sinari provocations. If we can use our navy for support (or better evacuation), very fine. Modifiers: +1, Navy support. - The Enemy. - The Weather (Dealing with events would affect them to as they are travling in the same area the Sinari are.) -2 +3 +1 -2 (-1 0 +1 -1) = -1 Failure The rainy season does a number on the army as cold and the flue hit the army.
