OOC

You're probably right there. For now though, I'm not going to change it. I'll handle that through an event early on. THat way everyone's affected equally at the same time, and it doesn't have to change plans for now.

btw, I didn't touch on it at all, but is everyone planning on going human, or do we have any other potential races in the mix?

Never actually thought it was an option. But since we are on the subject, do monsters exist ? Trolls, dragons, orcs, etc...

Shifters, lycanthropes and beastman (🤔 are orcs werepigs??)

If no one's plans depend on other races, I'd just as soon have this bit of the world be human-only. At least at first. Someone I thought asked me about that, but now that I'm thinking about it i can't actually find it.

As far as monsters go... Yes, there are monsters. They're rather rare, but if they're not continually culled, they could be a problem. Also, orcs are an actual virus. That's why they keep coming back so strong after you kill all but a few.

For those who understand, sounds more like orks than orcs.... 😈

It's really the only thing that makes sense. You can't have a orc invasion every generation unless they're just spawning instead of breeding.

I was thinking of my house being all humans but according to legends having elf blood but I thought that was pretty lame if there's potentially an actual elf house running around... if the world is all-human, I could pick that idea back up

Yeah, we'll go with all human for now. Basically Middle-Earth post books. Original (runic) magic is weaker than it used to be, other races have mostly vanished, etc. That being said, I do have PLANS, but unless I introduce something, just assume that's how it is.

So... these are humans right?

Shifters I'm not certain of. Are there were-people. Sure. Especially up north and out west. beastmen? Slightly more sightings than bigfoot, no one in their right mind chases them. but all humanesque.

Hello everyone! Glad to be part of the game. After looking through the threads it looks like @deadpool_qc has already started one of my house ideas. So I'm going to be starting a Fairly nomadic clan in the North Coast.

I'll be putting House Bodaway into its own thread today. any tips or tricks for getting my house off the ground would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Welcome to the Game JoHoover!

Also, welcome to TheVagrant too, who I hadn't had the chance to say hello to yet.

@JoHoover, as a fellow North Coaster, I'm sure we'll have some shared history. I'm going to try to summarize my established history today by editing the first post in my House thread (Maa-Talia). At the moment a lot of the detail is scattered around various threads. I still have a lot of historical events that I haven't detailed yet, so if you see anything that you think your house might be apart of let me know. I'm sure our houses will have interacted a lot over the years!

Just to let everyone know, the setup is the fiddly bit, making sure everyone's on the map, doesn't overlap, etc. But we're on the homestretch now and almost ready to begin.

Sorry for lack of my discussion.
I will say that barbarian orcs, from the icy north have frequent attack attempts of my nation. (Also, I want to know if I can say they also have shaman individuals that can brew poisons/curses/diseases(?))

Also, if we are doing one House as being the ruling House of the country, then I propose myself as a candidate.

Do we have orcs in the setting? I thought we said all-human.
I'm fine with the current king being from your house. Like I said, Sharva has no desire to rule over the whole country.

Scymira is all human. However, I did say there were monsters. It's a fantasy setting; fantasy without monsters would be weird. Orcs could, I suppose, be one type of monster. Barbarian orc is probably redundant though, or even superfluous, as even the most barbaric of tribes are more organized than even two orcs would be.

As far as shamans go, as long as it follows the magic set out in the doc, and is rare, it is probably fine.

That's a lot of npc houses...

I was having trouble keeping track of all the PC houses ... Now I'm doomed 😂
