Damn, those are some nice rolls. Seems we'll have some stiff compeition on our hands, kek.
Feb 16, 2020 6:07 am
If anybody is interested in tying some of their historical events to our society, here's a few ideas I already have...

1) Scandal: Maybe something slave related. Example: Sometime in the past we selled slaves, but after stoping, it has been recently discovered we still use them. I'm open to other ideas...

2) Glory: could be new lands discovered, new trade routes established over the seas, battles won thanks to our mecenaries, humanitarian help for the poor

3) Ascent: from fishermans to pirates, from pirates to pirate conclave, rise of the pirate king, pirate king changes his kingdom into a meritocracy based society

4) Conquest: Pirate king clears the stormwrack island and claims it !! The event is known as the exile of the island rats.

If you have any other ideas, they are welcome.

I think your Ascent and my Descent events would pair up nicely. Maa-Talia used to have ports at points along the Eastern coast of the continent too (stormwatch, headlands, eastwatch), but had to abandon most of them as the Kraken society ascended in influence. I think Maa-Talia would still be strong in the crown lands and the west coast while you've taken over trade in the east. I'm going to remove the land I had initially taken on Stormwatch and move it somewhere else. It doesn't make sense that I'd have land there now. I might move it over by Tamer as the only Eastern port that I have left, as long as CESN thinks it makes sense that Tamer offered protection there during kraken's ascent to keep access to western goods.
Feb 16, 2020 7:08 am
I'm good with that with the only exception that it's my conquest that will go with your descent ;)
Feb 16, 2020 7:20 am
I'm fine with that as long as order doesn't matter. I had the impression that the historical events were in chronological order, but it might be best to adjust the order to fit the best narrative, in which case we can totally make that work.
Feb 16, 2020 8:36 am
Glory could work with me if we joined up into one of the war I described. Maybe I needed some sort of naval support which provided some savage slaves and raiding opportunities ;) (I rolled many glories so lots of wars to pick from )
Feb 17, 2020 5:44 pm
@Chalrytharendir No chronological order yet. I'll add the descriptions tonight but nothing is set yet.

@CESN Done! One of my Glory will be that we provided you with naval supports and some elite troops. Maybe we actually did buisness on multiple occasions.
Feb 17, 2020 6:14 pm
What I mean is that you got conquest on your first roll, so if the historical rolls are supposed to be chronological then it needs to come first in your history. If that's the case, then it might not fit well with my descent, which happened mid way through my history. I guess history lengths aren't necessarily equal, so maybe your history is shorter than mine, even though it has the same number of important events. If that's what you had in mind, then it works, otherwise we'd need to reorder the events, but I'm not sure you're supposed to do that, so we should probably check with falconloft to make sure that's okay. He'll probably allow it if it makes a better narrative.
Feb 17, 2020 8:06 pm
I'll admit I thought we could put them in any order since the narrative seemed more important, but I also agree, I'll wait for Falconloft to make sure its ok. (I'll ask him in discord)
Feb 17, 2020 8:32 pm
The distance between events doesn't have to be static, and if you need to swap a couple, I'm okay with that, but try to keep them in the same general order.
Feb 17, 2020 8:46 pm
Sounds good, thanks for the input Falconloft! @deadpool: let me know where you decide to put the conquest and I'll adjust the order of my descent if it doesn't make sense where it currently is to roughly match your conquest.

-For now, the possible alliance between house Ala and house Osberg is of no concern to the Kraken Society.

-House Zubech's passage toll is no different the passage toll the Kraken society has been charging for passage north of Stormwrack Island all those years. So the Kraken Society will pay the cost as part of doing daily business in the area.

-High Lord of the Sea Lydia Darby will gladly attend the burning festival, bringing an already partly burned Maa-Talian flag and the old Kraken pirate flag, symbolizing their old bloodthirsty pirate ways they hope to leave behind them... They also have a special gift for their host, that will also represent their prayer for the future. House Sol and their guests will have the privilege during their Burning Festival to be the first to see the new Thunderworks High Lord Darby has been working on in the last years. Special bow-less arrows sent into the skies at night that explodes into all kinds of shapes and colors making the sounds of thunder each time.

-Even in the face of an undead abomination, Captain Hunter's man were ready. They had brought giant harpoons for the balistas, tied to solid ropes, the same used when hunting whales to stop them from diving away and to make sure they wouldn't loose the carcass. And they had thunder cannons and thunder arrows aplenty... When the creature showed up, there was no way they would lose it. They surrounded it and immobilized it with the harpoons before firing a barrage of cannonballs and arrows on it...
OOC:
...results: 17...
-High Lord Spaulding and High Lord Wendell didn't need the royal family's attention, even if it would have been a plus, since they had they're own agendas... Lord Spaulding went from guest to guest, trying to secure trades with other houses and promoting the Kraken society's services, while Lord Wendell silently moved from conversation to conversation, listening to the secrets of the houses to make use of them later....

-High Lord Darby had a great time at house Sol's festival of the Blaze, so much that she pledged them that as long as the Kraken society and House Sol's friendship endured, the festival of the Blaze would profit from one the greatest Thunderworks show each and every year in the future.

A messenger is sent to Maa-Talia...

To the head of House Maa-Talia,
The Kraken Society invites you to an important meeting in Larimar concerning the future of the ship repair business.
Kraken's best troops will be there to assure your security during your stay, but feel free to bring your own if you feel the need.
To Whom It May Concern in the Kraken Society,

House Maa-Talia will send Holanna Talia, Claudia's third cousin once removed, and her husband Granato to discuss the state of the ship repair industry. Holanna is Maa-Talia's Naval Quartermaster General and understands ship maintenance and repair needs better than anyone. We will take your offer of security in good faith and will only send our representative along with the necessary crew for their small vessel.

We look forward to discussing the future of the industry.

Best Regards,

Claudia Talia, Head of House Maa-Talia
