Khan: the soldiers split up and start visiting people's houses to collect stuff. You follw them, and one brusquely tells you to shove off.
DD: You start heading out of town.
NA, Nade, any actions?

Southern Realm / Re: Faction Overviews and Background FAQ
« on: January 15, 2012, 11:23:24 AM »
Okay, this is done from long-distance memory so hopefully I haven't made continuity errors:
The Hematites are a breakaway group from a faction which I was going to put in whose name I've now wholly forgotten who've invaded the Gorin peninsula from the south. The Goriniae have tried and failed to dislodge them many times. They're culturally extremely different to their neighbours; the Mallardians are the result of an attempt to use a Mercenary army to attack them, with the Lusitanians being a formerly dominant power in the peninsula. They were beaten in a few wars by the Goriniae which then created the weakness the Hematites exploited.
Aurothia is a very, very old island nation, a bit of a hang-over from days gone by. They tend to be quite reclusive and defensive, and dislike Varalite clergy intruding on their culture. Their buildings often have centuries-old catacombs and tunnels due to the very firm (but volcanic) rock on the island.
The Tenthalese are just another city-state of the Geroian peninsula. They tend to be very wealthy due to trade, as well as being a centre for the production of velvet. Tenthala is also something of a base for swashbucklers and privateers, and is sometimes referred to as the "Zendar of the South" for its very mercantile and mercenary culture. Arona is the current countess, her father having been killed recently on a crusade to the far east. As for Tataca, he's something of a legend in the wars of the city states. He took both Calamantia and Eulalia for the Geroians, giving them a dominant position in the peninsula, but then fell out with his old masters and retired to a safe location in the hills with some of his loyal guards. He's reputed to have never lost a battle.

« on: January 14, 2012, 03:36:17 PM »
Basically you gain points for good works on the site, when you get three hundred you get awarded a triumph. Which you're the first to achieve, thanks to poem-formatted attrition. 
You get a fancy little award thingy under your name and your name inscribed on the official triumph list. And bragging rights, mustn't forget the bragging rights.

That one turns from very happy to very violent imagery quite fast, which is interesting.
Well done on the Triumph.

Announcements! The Town Crier! / A Triumph for Andalus!
« on: January 14, 2012, 12:59:16 PM »
Oh hear ye, hear ye, Exilians all!
For today there shall be rejoicing - on our system of allowing citizens to gain Triumph Points as an accolade for good work on the site, our noble friend Andalus hath become the first to gain a full 300 point Triumph! May his name be forever enshrined and stand as a shining example to others.
For those of you who don't know him, Andalus is effectively the god of the poetry section, providing us with regular thought-provoking fascination and interest. His good works have also included a starring role in Exilian's drama "The Teacher" as the Jesuit preacher Robert Parsons, and building mods for Rome: Total War that include work on the upcoming Narnia TW release.
All hail Andalus' triumph!
Citizens: do remember to use the Triumph system and ensure that you notify the Tribunes when you see a release or other good work being done. That way, hopefully we'll have even more cause for celebration in the future!

« on: January 14, 2012, 09:48:52 AM »
I dug out an old exam paper which turned out to have the first Johannes story I ever wrote, so I've typed it up and shared it with you. It kinda sucks since it was written off the top of my head in an English mock exam a bit over two years ago, but hey-ho.
