[Tumbili]

The trades are sent to both the Jepsilp and Olmara, while the ritual nears completion [3/4].

[Wychwood]

Work on the lumber mill continues [3/4 (Please start putting progress with your actions. GM is lazy and would rather not have to go searching)], and the quarry is finished up [Quarry I, +1 stone/turn, +1 Industry]. Wind magic is researched [Wind Magic I]! Above, the Ookami spot a giant…thing flying the sky.

[Captain Jack]

The forges start, and the process of creating better weapons begins [1/8, -3 bronze], while better boats are also being built [2/8. -3 wood]. Finally, a new battleship is born [1.8x, -1 wood].

[Woodland Realm]

The forest folk improve their agricultural practices greatly [Agriculture I, +1 food]

>>37502

Techs learned.

>>37507

This is unacceptable, take these 2 coins for incentive on the weaponmaking and another 2 for the boats!

[Plunder]: The Crew would much rather steal coin then mint it, though using it to aid actions is much more effective.

Ritual Completed. Units gain +.2 strength.

>>37503

Nation Name: Olmara

Race(s): O'jala (semi-amphibious fish people)

Color: Blue-green

Fluff: The wise men tell of a time the O'jala swam the oceans, hunting the fish and larger animals, and forage seaweed. Then the three wise ones were hatched in the O'jala's clutches. The first, Miah, saw the seaweed and saw to cut a piece off and put it where it would grow and it would take hold. The second, Shio, saw fish that ate the seaweed and learned to herd them and keep them in a designated area to raise and eat. The third, Olmar, the wisest of them all, observed coral for years until he learned to grow the coral to his desires to shelter the O'jala from the large beasts and natural currents of the deep. He grew and grew until the O'jala had a city to call home. The O'jala named the city after him and the three wise ones were placed in charge. The three wise ones chose their successors before retiring in old age, but continued to advise the new Wise Ones as the first of the Old Ones. As such the city has continued and grown and now they look out beyond their walls to the wide world before them.

Eccentricities:

[Sea Dwellers]: The Olmara are masters of their watery home, travelling through it with incredible ease. It is very hard for them to expand far from water, however.

[Bounty of the Sea]: The seas of Primal World are teeming with life, and each action the Olmara take to acquire food is more successful. However, monsters lurk in the deep, and everything must come to the water's edge to drink….

[Immortal Leader]: The eternal child may decree that his people focus on one task each turn, producing better results. Beware of sabotage and/or rebellion.

Ongoing projects: runes (1/4) archery II (1/6) lightning (2/4) weather IV  (3/10)

Resources: [Wood: 8] [Bronze: 5] [Stone: 9] [Red Stone: 1]

Eccentricities:

[Physical Prowess]: When faced with a problem, the Tumbili would rather punch it in the face then find a more peaceful solution (Bonus to raw strength/military tech, minus to others)

[Kima Aggression]: It is very easy for the Tumbili to recruit from the ranks of the Kima, as there are so many of them. However, it's best to keep them busy, or they might kill each other.

1. Trade Discipline III to the Jepsilp

2. Research. Better. Tax. Collection. Or HEADS will start to ROLL! 3/6

3. Build another farm. +[Agriculture II]

>>37516

>>37515

To the doorsteps of both newly landed territories come large, black-furred apes clad in crude armor, toting clubs. They howl and hammer and beat upon the rocks and trees to draw attention to their presence, and when said attention comes, they make their intentions quite known with a carved rock pictogram and a bundle of (unripe) bananas.

The pictogram appears to be of one figure extending a hand to two others, both with wings. Said figure, in the next line, points downward, below, at what appear to be thorny vines and gruesome machines lashing at more figures similar to the first.

If any semblance of a common tongue is to be heard, then the apes speak gutterally but fluently. "You come here from far away. We greet you. And we seek to trade. To -talk-."

>>37517

It keeps your roll lined up? That's annoying.

[Iron: 13] +1/Turn

Eccentricities:

[Tinkerers]: The Dwarves of Dwarf Mountain love to find and discover new technology, but don't really care for improving on the old.

[Advanced Architecture]: Like the Felion, the Dwarves love to build magnificent structures. Settlements have a greater effect on population increase, but they cost more resources.

Is that who I think it is? Propman?

>>37511

No dwarfs meet the apes in battle, who are allowed to smash and destroy the outpost. The dwarves at the capital decide to trade space and some resources for time to gather more strength, and allow the apes to tire themselves out destroying while they prepared to defend the mushroom capital with its vital farmlands. There was plenty of territory to allow for some sacrifices.

>>37522

[cowardice intensifies]

>>37520

An emissary of Olmara surfaces on the beach near the base of the mountain; flanked by guards with blue-green glass blades and stone weave armor. The emissary is clothed in what looks like colorful glass woven like plant matter. They seem to be trying to get the attention of the dwarves.

>>37518

The death of an empire has had its mark upon the supposedly unaging leader of the winged elves, it is now apparent that Aithlin is a girl, maybe [12] to look at her, but with that same bottomless wizdom in her eyes. "I am Princess Aithlin," she gestures to the three identical black feathered elves beside her "and these are Ein, Drey and Zwvy; my assistants. I understand that you speak of trade. Also that you fear a foe of brambles and engines. I wouldn't worry too much, we intend to garter a great understanding of this continent's denizens. In the mean time, we would be great full if you could help us plant the sugary foods we elves need to keep our energy up. In return perhaps we could gift you with foggy shrouds and lighter than air baskets.

Eccentricities:

[Obelisk-chosen]: Those primates that touched the Obelisk have an unprecedented thirst for knowledge, granting a bonus to scientific and technological research. However, the society's quest for science, rationality, and truth often blinds them to the parts of life less easily explained, and they suffer penalties when dealing with the more mystical side of Primal World.

[Refined]: The society excels in any problem of the mind they set themselves too. However, they find more physical pursuits, such as war, distasteful.

Eccentricities:

the druids, elves, and gnomes wait patiently under the mushrooms of the mountain near the short dwarves capital. their ally has not given the signal, and so they rest and prepare for the fight that is to come.

>>37518

From a far distance above, the fairies glanced at the imposing armoured men with exceeding caution using their instruments; their general shape and trappings gave an unpleasant reminder of a past foe, causing some of the watchers to recoil.

Though too far in the sky to hear coherent words, the rock was eyed with particular interest. Machines and vines… what could it mean? Clearly, this world was populated with intelligent forms of life just like their own was, and it needed to be studied so they could interact with it in a satisfactory manner! For now, there didn't seem to be any immediate response from the floating castle.

Color: (Green)

Fluff: Before life crawled out of the sea, there were plants. While life grew legs and crawled throw the muck trees and fungi grew tall and strong. Now sentient races have come, burning, cutting and killing healthy plants. So the Treants, ancient tree shepherds, born of trees themselves, but ambulatory made with a spark of sentience, the Mycon, Fungi much like the Treants, smaller, faster, more reproducible but silent, and the Dryads, spirit born of the eldest and greatest trees and woods, banded together. Together they would protect themselves and their home, together nature would flourish still.

Eccentricities:

[Nature Nation]: The peoples of Folia are by and large photosynthetic, and don’t need to worry about food, but their nature and origins make it hard for them to grasp technology

>>37530

Quite soon you see an elf, with red toned wings brightening from black at the base to yellow near the tips. "Welcome to the Sauna oasis, though I suppose it isn't for me to welcome you. My name is Burntplume, and it is a pleasure to meet you."

>>37534

"your flying land is very beautiful and I am amazed at how it is floating. my name is Greenblossom. I am pleased to meet you. it is nice to see a pleasant place as this, as my heart is burdened by the danger to my people in these times."

>>37535

"Oh its not mine, if its anyone's it belongs to Zharar, though I must admit that I helped make it, and I hope that it can remain peaceful."

>>37536

"If you wish for your land to remain peaceful, I would say you should have stayed above the ocean. we are a peaceful people, but war marches on us by war hungry apes who seek to burn and destroy and conquer. we were saved by friends, but now those friends are being marched on also. it is a grim fight, and I hope it never comes to your lands. who is this Zharar, may I meet her?"

>>37537

"Try not to grow impatient, I met a similar welcome on my first visit to the Sauna myself, though I didn't have someone to speak with. She will come out in her own time."

>>37538

You've got the wrong outsiders mate, I'm plumage, you need classae

>>37540

We saw Burnt, and got excited. Our apologies.

>>37539

"forgive me, I am nervous for my people, I hope you understand. I suppose I should stay here, if you will permit me to rest and wait, and to speak for my people's behalf."

>>37542

"It would be kind of you to treat with me as well, I am a representative of the Principality of Plumage, who are derived from old friends of Classae. Of you can convince me, my nation may follow me, and Classae may follow us. So, please, take a seat and share some of that sweet political gossip."

>>37541

Understandable, sorry for the confusion, I am in the habit of color-coding my ambassadors.

>>37524

The emissaries are met by dwarves, covered in muddy sooty overalls and holding steam drills and pickaxes. One of them with a hardhat and lamp seems to be their speaker.

"Well yer a sight for sore eyes, visitors who ain't plantfolk or tryin' ta kill us. Welcome ta Dwarf Moonten. We be the Dwarves! What do ye want to speak, we be listenin'"

>>37545

In the light, hissing, voice of the O'jala the emissary replies. "We under the sea hear word of your trouble with monkey. We offer aid. Given secrets of technology and magic and we kill monkey."

>>37546

The dwarves scratch their beards for a moment, quietly, before talking.

"You be speaking the words we wannae here. But we got a few rules ta lay down afore we start handing you our blueprints.

1. this be a permanent alliance 'gainst the monkeys, both in this war and all future wars against them.

2. ye dinnae attack our allies and their allies, the forest folk, dem other forest folk, and them other monkeys in da east that aint attacking us

3. we cannae give ye our tech while we're fighitng. we gotta win the war first or get a bloody break from being invaded. we'd prefer ya focused on the war rather than a takin' our tech.

if ye wannae help us, we'd appreciate ya handing us some whatever fighting tech ya got, but we'll take some good fighting units of ah. . .whatever ye be.

If we survive this war and get a fookin' break from the monkeys, we'll hand ye our tech. which tech do ye want?"

>>37547

[Cold Adapted]: The Dragon-Kin of the north are well adapted to the cold, and can learn how to use their natural environment easily. However, they are very weak to fire.

1.Rena demands that the tribes spread down to the south and acquire warmer lands for the nobility.

2.Many of The lich tribe seem to display a primitive code or honor between eachother during training when it is done.Research whatever this honor is and see if it has any practical uses.

The lead ape rose to its hind legs, wriggling its jaw back and forth. "We can teach you how to plant and -grow-. We can teach you how to wage -war- upon your foes. What we ask for in return is raw currency and foodstuffs. Your… baskets, and other things, may also be welcome.

"We are in the midst of a -war-, 'Princess,' against half-apes that ride poison-spewing machines and silver-tongued -treefolk- that warp the jungle to their own malign purpose. We do not ask that you rush to our -aid-. We do ask that you give us what we need to continue our efforts, in exchange for our knowledge…"

>>37529

The apes waiting below pound at their chests and cast their voice upward. Their leader, a silverback with red face-paint, speaks the loudest, voice carrying for miles.

"We seek an -audience-, newcomers. To -greet- our new neighbors in the Jungle. Do you refuse to speak with us?"

With the uniting of the tribe's and the hope of a future many dragon-kin are excited and eager to explore and see the world around them. Perhaps from regrets that they had originally died just seeing their home never knowing the outside world and perhaps a few nobles were eager to explore and find exotic things.

The crew of captain jack would be one of the first to notice some of the undead exploders them circling above them with fascination before eventually one flys down with a small smile on his face a member of the lich caste.His hair was a dark brown and his eyes were a nice jade and in a friendly slightly creaky tone. "Hello!" The crew would also find these beings to be rather tall being roughly in the range of 9ft6 to 9ft8

The Woodland realm would also quickly find themselves accosted by the motly undead flying dragon-kin with many eagerly flying around and through gaps in the braches laughing and wooting at each other. They would be of multiple castes mainly lich but also 2 or 3 freshly undead..and a clearly alive looking noble rebirther who seems mostly stoic but pleased.It is notable that these are rather tall beings being roughly 9ft7 or 8

The okammi would find them at their shores surprisingly quickly though only a small group of 3 or 4 mostly liches in nature though their is clearly a noble rebirther leader.They eye you curiously clearly towering over you.

Other nations would most likely see them flying about and if they wished to converse a shout or other means of drawing their attention would eagerly have them fly down to speak with you.

The fairys of the flying city ((princess's ones)) would also quickly be converged upon mainly due to them noticing the castle they seem to mainly be examining you from above but don't seem overly hostile.

>>37557

"Oh, we could never fund a war we know nothing about. Certainly not before we have our own defenses in place. Perhaps you could tell us as much as you can, I doubt your foes are total monsters." The princess is quite clearly testing you, daring you to try giving her a half truth.

>>37558

An elf all of dark grey stops one of these undead. "My name is Chimn Smoke, and the Emp- er, it's a principality now, Plumage, is seeking friends in this continent, perhaps you would be interested in speaking with me on this?"

>>37560

The gorilla looked thoroughly unimpressed. "Perhaps direct your eyes to the destroyed earth and the foul smoke that the dwarves' machines belch. Or to the treefolk, who claim we -burn- and -destroy- when we seek to preserve the jungle, not warp it to our on whims through perverse magicks. Perhaps I can bring to you some of our people, our juveniles and children, who choked on their own blood, victims of poisonous smoke by some fell woodland ritual. Our southern neighbors are dangerous. They have no respect for the natural world, for the way things should be. You are not 'funding a war.' You would be paying us in kind for the knowledge we give… that -you- need."

>>37560

The…Lich caste undead looks at you for a few moments flapping their wings their pale milky dead eyes staring before a small smile spreads across their face and a warm tone comes from them though slightly rusty perhaps."Well chimn I am Gregory and I suppose I have no problem with that and I can alert the Rebirther of what you have said to me on my return trip that sound agreeable friend?"

>>>37563

The beings upon being pointed at seem to slow and swirl around each other slight sounds like speech can be heard but their incomprehensible. Eventually 3 fly down in a twirling pattern before gently landing in front of the small duo.Two of them are of the lich caste with blond hair and their milky eyes while the third…Is a pink haired and orange eyed rebirther their skin smooth and alive. it is the rebirther who would quietly extend a hand with the two liches doing their best to give off a friendly look despite their perhaps frightening appearance.

>>37563

The lead Gorilla seemed to understand more or less perfectly, judging by how he spoke following an exhale through his nose. "We speak what the Red Stone has taught us to speak. We are the Tumbili. We safeguard the Jungle… and the -apes- therein.

"Treat the forest with respect and there will be no issue. We do not come to dispute -territory-, fire-creature. We come to trade. Knowledge of farming and tactics of war in exchange for food and raw currency… and other things in due time."

>>37558

Rocks and sticks were tossed at the strange rotting interlopers from the apes' stone dwellings, at least until the local militia flooded out of the nearby red-painted temple, with a tall, white-caked gorilla leading.

"COME TO GROUND IF YOU SEEK -DIPLOMACY-, CREATURES, OR ELSE DISPERSE FROM OUR -SKIES-."

>>37561

Aithlin smiles, "I've torn the very earth apart to spite my would be conquerors, it would take more than wounded civilians to convince me that you are in the right."

>>37562

"That would be nice, thanks.

>>37565

This throwing along with the yelling would lead them to land…notably they are not as rotted as they appear beside's one lich who slowly seems to be turning into a rotten.Eventually one of the liches speaks up with a rather…tilted or perhaps angry tone."Well hello to you to then so what exactly are you?"

>>37566

Gregory gives a small chuckle and then quietly whistles before replying."well then lead the way!"

>>37566

The Gorilla curled a lip. "Your moral -fiber- would be applauded if it were not so ill advised. Do you reject our offer, newcomer, yes, or no?"

>>37567

"We are the Tumbili, the chosen of the Red Stone, defenders of the Jungle, and this is -our- land that you fly over. Who are -you-, to ogle and stare at us from the air?"

>>37568

The lich listen quietly slowly nodding their head in understanding before they close their milky eyes and respond calmly and much more politely.

"Then I apologize we are Dragon-kin though in previous times others have called us draken. We are the ones who reside in a land once warm.I am Percival of the Lich caste and I'm just curious citizeny from the united Northern Dragon-kin tribes. I would gladly relay any message you have to the great Rebirther."

>>37567

Smoke leads Gregory to Hatfield, a small outpost in the northernmost part of the Principality. "This is likely where you will be doing most of your treating with us. Might I ask, what exactly are you, I don't believe the way you hold yourself quite lines up with your apparent physiology."

>>37568

"I simply do not have enough information to make that decision, but we don't have much raw Currency to offer in any case."

>>37571

The Gorilla bared his teeth in what was ostensibly a "smile," mirroring the "smiles" of his chimpanzee warriors.

"The Highest Priests will trade knowledge for food and currency. Relay this to your rebirther."

>>37572

"But you -do- possess foodstuffs, easily augmented by our own knowledge."

>>37565

Red stone? The medic bit her finger for a brief moment, taking a glass object and scribbling in her book before turning attention back to the gorilla man.

"Well, if you're protectors of the forest, then we'll get along just fine: some of us were once keepers of the woods ourselves, and we think that the balance of nature is very important; our city was made without harming a single tree! But— we're not very fond of war at all, and already think we've got a sufficient grasp at growing things. Likewise, our hands are kind of tied at the moment, as our friends that accompanied us are rather worse for wear after being exiled from their home and need aid in order to get back to their feet.

Be careful with your duties; there are civilizations that we thought were our friends who exploited us in order to conquer and enslave, and one of the first things they did was subjugate the woods! If any of your units become injured or wounded, take them to the base if this city: we can heal them!"

>>37564

Upon the sudden descent of the group of flying lizard people, the two fairies were startled and fell on their backs, their wings glowing two shades brighter for a brief moment. "Eeek! Don't eat us! You'll get heart burn!"

After noticing that the lizards were not in fact trying to eat them, they stood back up and glanced at them with a confused expression. "Wha-wha-t- are you?" stammered the red-haired of the two.

>>37555

the fairy gazed in wide eyed wonder at what seemed to be a different world, but dusted her leaf clothing, and answered the questions she could. "yes, we are from the forests below, we are the children of the forest and we are friends with the dwarves and the living forest, who call themselves Folians. we have stories but they are handed down by word of mouth but recently we've been reading some stories from dwarven runes, our friends. the dwarves are. . .strange, but kind. they build machines but try not to harm the forest, though they sometimes belch smoke, we hope to teach them how to avoid this. they saved our lives, we are trying to save theirs. I would say that I would like cinnamon with my tea. I've never seen so many different fairies, we are all woodland fairies down below. I am nervous to meet your Princess, I hope I won't offend her with my humble attire."

>>37575

wrong link >>37544

>>37574

The chimpanzees behind the gorilla broke out into quiet hollering and whooping. The leader remained stoic, his black, wrinkled face set hard. "Why have you come here from so far away, then, if you are so well off to not require any aid? Surely, protectors of the forests like -yourselves- would not abandon their duty for no reason. Were you driven out by -war-?"

>>37558

The Litches and rebirther would see a group of Ookami and what looks to be the beginnings of construction. Most of the Ookami seem to be nervously eyeing the odd, clearly undead visitors with the occasional glance to the clearly living one. After some time, a 5,8ft tall male Ookami with light brown hair that ended at their shoulders who wielded a spear approached, though keeping a distance away. They spoke in a deep accent "Who are you? What is your purpose in our land, rotting ones." they would say, waiting for a response.

>>37572

Gregory..seems to frown for a second before they respond rather somberly a contrast to their usual tone."I am a Dragon-Kin of the United Northern dragon-kin Tribes…..but…I am dead…Or I suppose that is one way to say it.My dragon has revived my body with our union from when I died of the cold..So you may call me undead perhaps…or you may call me something similar..I suppose."

>>37573

Percival would look at the gorillas strangly before they remembered thatmost races needed to eat and gave a thumbs up before taking off with the rest shouting behind them."Doing so! May your Body hold warmth!"

>>37574

The noble quietly picks the two fairys up dusting them off their hands are freezing but their heartbeat is hearable the noble is at least an alive being."We are dragon-kin"

>>37576

The alive one spoke first the undead ones….seemed a lot friendlier then the alive one who spoke curtly and quietly looking uncaringly at you."We are the dragon-kin and We came to explore the world and I saw you and….you peaked……..My intrest…it is nice to meet you..call me Alexia."

>>37573

"Again, we need to keep our physical resources to ourselves, we can't spare anything, and I still don't possess enough knowledge to decide whether to aid you in any way, we have poor thoughts on any warrior race. But if you could satisfy me that resources would not go to put others through what we experienced, I could consider trading, but not until I am satisfied with my own defenses."

>>37581

Rather than the horror many react with, Chimn is fascinated, "A preserved corpse host, maintaining many of its motive abilities! That is quite some symbiote you've got."

>>37582

in a different part of Aithlin, a humble elf and some fairies walk in, they had heard and seen the war monkeys going out to other realms for aid and thought it foolish to sit back and not seek out friends themselves. the elves came to the lands of the land, to see if they would be greated with openness or hostility.

>>37583

Gregory gives a chuckle might as well tell the man the full extent of the thing it is a rather fascinating thing to be honest….they should probably research more into it themselves."Yes Dragon is a rather amazing thing to be honest.In fact were called Dragon-kin because we were basically molded and created by them without them..we would be nothing but a winged albino lizard….we are sentient and we are the way we are because of them. Without them we would not exist as we do now."

>>37584

You arrive in Flames Aide, the outpost itself is unimpressive, but the gathering of fire fae trading various goods makes it seem almost like a small town. Your requests to speak with some official lead you to the large wicker hut in the midst of it all, within, a large, burly elf sits, drinking some unknown substance. He stretches his wings, an absurdly bright shade of green, and hardly seeming large enough to carry the man attached to them, until you see them buzz like a much smaller bird. "Hullo, names Softwing, what can I do you for?"

>>37587

"Well, you are certainly welcome to be our friends"

>>37588

"hello Softwing, we are elves and fairies and we call ourselves the forest folk, we are born of the forest and she is our mother and so we protect her, as she protects us. we are glad greeted with kindness, we have had mixed fortune in our first encounters with other beings. it is good to see there are other elves in the world. I wish we could greet you with good tidings, but the news we bring is very dire. our lands and the lands of our friends are under siege, and we have been attacked without warning. our outposts have been burned, our people killed or made to flee. it is war, and we were once a peaceable people but now we fight for our lives and our friends to. I suppose it is desperation that compels us to look for help in strangers lands, but that is what we have been lead to do.

>>37582

The Gorilla gave a sort of mildly disgusted look, silencing the sudden hooting of his retinue with a simple slap upon the ground.

"You have naught to fear in these jungles and mountains. The nearby ice-moths are our allies. The land-destroying southerners would have to destroy -us- to reach -you-… but, then, perhaps you can get your fill of 'knowledge' from the honeyed lies and false pleas of the forest folk themselves. I am told," he gestured to his now visibly angered but still silent retinue and the red-capped gibbon scout among them, "they come here even now, skulking in our footsteps. See for yourselves. And -call- to us when you have your 'defenses' erected."

With that, the Gorilla turned, and marched away with his retinue in perfect order back to their own lands.

>>37581

The Ookami eyed the one who called themselves Alexia and watched their undead guards as well, just in case they tried something "I am Njal Willow, martial leader of the Willow pack and leader of this expedition. I and the fellow members of my pack are Ookami and this land was granted to us by Prince Mayor Vivian Silvereye. Now, what do you want, I can tell you haven't come here just to merely watch us." He said in a authoritative tone.

>>37591 Gregory gives a sorta warm hearted laugh before rufflng his own slightly falling out hair." Well then I'm glad to hear that do you have any questions? We live on one of the islands one with a pretty big mountain our capital Is our races birth place basically a cave its pretty warm in there so I quite like it."

The elves ((arch druids)) would swiftly find they have company in their woodland realm winged creatures some partly rotting others vibrant alive and other with cracked skin and pale milky eyes….they eventually all ended up landing around some rocks where the sun shone brightly and began to lay down with small smiles shivering from the beautiful loving warmth of the sun.Their is roughly 4 or 5 of them of them 2 are of the lich caste two are of the rebirthers ((alive ones)) and one is of the fresh caste.

>>37594

one of the liches speaks up..their voice is much more pleasing then the nobles…more humble and less imbued with a sort of arrogance."We came to explore mainly Were glad to greet you and we would like to know some things of intrest about your people to bring back to the rebirther."

>>37592

"A peaceful people at war you say, well, I suppose I should hear about those who attacked you. Any idea what caused them to choose you as a foe?"

>>37593

Th triplets speak in unison, "Good fortunes and peace be upon you, whether you deserve it or not"

>>37600

(Opps, I got it wrong again! >>37563 in response to >>37556.)

>>37600

"….hmm….nah you guys look a bit to cute to murder horribly you know?" They quietly stick their tongue out at you teasingly as one of the liches steps over and responds…their tone is warm yet cracked."No we are not going to hurt you little ones."

((also arch druid I posted at you here in case you dident notice. >>37595))

>>37595

"So you want information." the Ookami said before pausing to think for a moment. "Well, we are ruled by a Prince Mayor, or Grand mayor, who every ten years is elected from one of the five mayors of the towns in our lands who are the martial or spiritual leaders of a pack and are elected by the people of those cities and towns, well, that's the abridged version anyway. Other information that might be of worth to you is that we where created by Asena, the great wolf spirit of logic, survival, and the seasons, whom we worship. Any other questions?"

>>37600

the fairy gave her best curtsey in her leaf gown, humbled and awestruck at the display of regality shown before her and wonders she had never dreamed of. this place had the grandeur of the dwarf hall, but had a shimmering, shining appearance clean and crystal unlike anything she had ever seen. she knew something of meeting important people, speak only when spoken too, and she awaited when she would be posed a question or a command from their princess. was she a fairy like them, or something else, would she be kind or cold, she prayed for a good audience with her, and to help her people if she somehow could.

>>37605

"Would one of you mind coming with us to meet our leader I believe they would be vey interested in you."

>>37595

the undead would see no elves, fairies, or gnomes, they would only hear voices behind the leaves as they shouted. "the living forest is hostile to all things undead! the trees do not like the undead. we make this warning that if you are not foe or enemy, you may leave in peace as you came. beware! beware! the forest is hostile to undeath." the warning was given, and a clear path was marked out of the forest, it was hoped these necromantic strangers would leave.

>>37608

those behind the trees watched. they had seen and heard of the wrath of the forest on things which were undead, good or evil, new or old, it was simply a thing which living nature didn't tolerate. it was the antipathy, the opposite. the elves could not afford a new enemy, and didn't want to make of one who might not be, and so did everything they could to lead these things out of the forest.

>>37608

Quickly the liches and fresh undead launched themselves into the sky almost immediately however the two nobles got up and looked around they at least…were not undead and that could be discerned."…..Why would the forest be hostile?" Said a green haired one they looked mildly annoyed and slightly saddened most of those undead were old friends and it was annoying to cut the reuinion short.

>>37610

the elves are relieved, somewhat, the strangers would see no people, but hear voices. "the trees have eyes and ears, living ones, they hear and they see, tell us and them are you friend or foe?"

>>37600

"Then it sounds to -me- as if your people require a stronger -army-," rumbled the Gorilla, utterly unphased by the display of emotion, or, seemingly, by the story. His retinue had mixed reactions, from pity, to sympathy, to very clear humor at her description of her people's exodus.

"We can teach you how to fight -better-. In due time we may act as -defenders-. Either way, the Tumbili can give to your people the ability to stand and fight if such a thing happens again. All we ask for is equal payment. A show of -trust-."

>>37607

"I have only just met you, and seeing how your…friends are rotted and decaying, I very much do mind. I may be brave but I am not foolhardy, and being taken to the heart of a far off nation of which I know nothing about other then that it has the dead still walking in service to the living of the same race. I very much do mind coming with you, and you should understand why I do not trust you nor want to go with you. I do not mean any offense with my words however, as even if I did trust you, I would not go with you as I being the martial leader of the Willows, have a job to do here, one that I would rather not leave to my mate who much rather focus on other, less material things."

"Would help if I could see you smartass but I have no intention of causing any trouble to you right now….I woulda thought natue would be much less adverse..to our undead anyway…either way We are Dragon-kin."

>>37614

The….noble looks almost….livid at being refused while the undead look at her worryingly slowly patting her on the back calming her before she flys off in a huff clearly frustrated they dident get their way.The undead stare nervously and look back."Um…sorry Alexia is a rather spoiled one..used to getting what they want.I apologize if we were rude..but if you would like and have the time we would appreciate it if you took the time to visit our island.The lich caste quietly tells them directions to the island.

>>37612

"Would help if I could see you smartass but I have no intention of causing any trouble to you right now….I woulda thought natue would be much less adverse..to our undead anyway…either way We are Dragon-kin."

>>37618

from underneath small mushrooms, behind bushes, and from trees above a few elves, gnomes, and fairies peek out. "we are the forest folk, children of the forest and nature who is our mother and whom protects us as we try to protect her. the forest has been in danger these days, and we are weary of strangers. we are not sure if nature is the same in all the world, but here it is so with undead the trees will attack them. but you two are not undead, who and what are you scaled ones?"

>>37617

"I'll inform the mayors, though, we would have to make something to get across the sea, perhaps a form of magic or similar. Regardless, I'm sure you need to go with your leader Alexia, and I have to go back to my own work, please excuse me for leaving first." He said before turning and walking back to the other Ookami.

>>37620

The other noble moves to speak red hair and blue eyes stretching casually before examining their claws."We are Gertrude and Genivier and we are dragon-kin of The Northern United Tribes.Genivier was confused abut why the forest would attack our undead due to the way they come about."

>>37622

After a certain point the bug eyed people would notice something several of the clearly alive ones having to be grabbed as they fell outta the sky almost freezing up clearly having flown too high it was much higher then their home and colder and eventually only the undead remain as the living are taken back…and several liche's land..they look…unnerved slightly in this type of environment but definitely not unfamiliar with it..and they slowly approach the green eyed bugs.

>>37621

"Unfortunatly yes we do have to follow her so she dosent do something really stupid while angry but bye!" They rush off after the noble their wings flapping.

>>37624

The Sfim are incredibly disgusted by the appearance of the undead beings. One of them steps forward, brandishing a hammer in one hand.

"What manner of foul monster are you. Can you speak?"

Several lit torches begin to spring up in the gather Sfim. Looks like you have a mob on your hands!

>>37624

"we suspect it is because undeath is the opposite of life, and the forest is of life magic."

The undead blink before one of the fresh undead move forward bravely hiding the rest behind them.The fresh undead clearly look more alive despite this they have more grayish skin and their eyes…seem..lifeless..even so they look less..abhornt no clear rot about them before they respond."Yes we can speak and were not damn monster's of any sorts thank you very much we are Dragon-kin….and if you would put the weapons down we would love to be civil and friendly."

Geniver speaks clear confusion in their tone."….But our undead come from the creature that brough us intelligence…it has been a natural part of us for as long as we have been as we are now….why would it shun us if we are ultimately a product of such a thing that nature made exist?"

>>37626

Geniver speaks clear confusion in their tone."….But our undead come from the creature that brough us intelligence…it has been a natural part of us for as long as we have been as we are now….why would it shun us if we are ultimately a product of such a thing that nature made exist?"

>>37625

The undead blink before one of the fresh undead move forward bravely hiding the rest behind them.The fresh undead clearly look more alive despite this they have more grayish skin and their eyes…seem..lifeless..even so they look less..abhornt no clear rot about them before they respond."Yes we can speak and were not damn monster's of any sorts thank you very much we are Dragon-kin….and if you would put the weapons down we would love to be civil and friendly."

>>37631

"why does fire burn and harm flesh if it is a part of nature. why does death bring sadness and tears if it is also a part of nature. these are questions for philosophers and wisemen, we are only children of the forest."

The dragon-kin seemed shocked for but a moment before a sickle implants itself into the fresh undeads chest and it coughs up some blood and then they all panic screaming in terror as they try to fly off several are hit hard and quickly fall to the ground vital places having been hit..and are forced to be grabbed..overall most of the dragon-kin are hurt wounded and many are at least partially on fire limbs having fallen off to the ground. It is possible that some have died completely "FOUL MONSTERS WE SHALL NOT FORGET THIS SCUM YOU FUCKING SCUM!" The one who had said that quickly flys off and they are swiftly on the way outta there several items that had been implanted in them had been thrown in attempts to maim or kill the ones who had attacked them.

>>37637

"…A fair point…so do you mind cuing us in on the situation in the world?"

>>37638

"strange people have come to our lands, some good, some bad, all strange. we only know of what has happened to us, that we and the forest have been attacked, that dwarves and living forest saved us, and that now the dwarves are under attack by those same. what was once peaceful is now war and confusion, we only seek the lives of ourselves and our friends. that is all we know, and that the living forest will kill any undead that comes its way."

>>37640

"………..So we are destined to be unable to move to the warmth of this land due to the forest?"

>>37641

"maybe not you two, but for surely the undead. I know little of the undead, but do not the living only need warmth? we cannot say for sure, but maybe your living may be permitted here, but that may change if the forest learns you associate with undeath. there are warm lands away from the forest, there beaches to the west."

"They do not need such warmth but many say it does make them feel happier they are still coldblooded creatures like us..and it does make many of them nostalgic….word of those beaches….they seem interesting…are they basically free to claim?" Gurtrude finished speaking before Genevir spoke."….oh…um…most of our race is….." They let that rest it was best not to say such things the forest might hear it but..what they wanted you to assume was obvious and reinforced by what they said next."Ever since we were devasted by the great cold that came and took away the warmth of our home….many died women..children..those that had survived..had lost……at least most of their familys…the wamth brings back a happier time for our people."

>>37643

they noded. "we would not stay here or even there if we were you. you may still be too close for the forest, and there are other dangers lurking nearby stirring war. we hear rumors of more beaches and sun to the far northeast. maybe there you will find what you seek, strange ones, away from the carnage and danger here."

They…manage. a akward smile and give a bow."Farewell…..I suppose we shall tell the Great Rebirther what has been said…We can not live on the cold mountain of our unforgiving home with much joy..we will find a place where the sun will welcome our forms and bring love and warmth to us again…may warmth linger with you…."

>>37648

the fairy, brough back to better times, sups from the cup and bathes in the warmth that glows through her. the tea is heavenly, and so is the look of this palace. and yet her heart was nagged by the all important thing she had to say. "Princess. . .I am a fairy of the forest below, of a people who call ourselves the Children of the Forest. your greeting to me and all that I have seen of your people have shown me that you are a good and noble and kind race, and in all my life I or any other forest folk have ever been so welcomed and treated so nicely and . . .amazed by what I see." tears welled in her eyes, as she tried to remain calm. "forgive my tears, they are of joy and sadness, because I feel that you may be the people my kind have been looking for."

>>37613

The medic shook her head.

"The elves are the warriors among our number; we sit back to support them when needed, but even they weren't strong enough to fight back the enemy; the most they could do was destroy one of their cities before they had to flee as well. I don't think we'd ever be as strong in battle as them, or you, but you can try talking to them sometime in order to better teach them, and maybe they can teach you something as well. Personally, I took an oath to not harm people unless absolutely needed, as one of our old friends believed that violence was bad, and that performing it constantly attracted the attention of an unsavoury figure…"

She looked to the north, noting the field that the Principality of Plumage had set to be the construction site for their future home. "T- they aren't the same elves as the forest defenders, and in truth they're a bit fuzzy on the protection of nature, but they try their best and have never hurt the environment on purpose. I think what happened to them has taught them a thing or two about being cautious towards civilized people; their home was among those that were destroyed by the enemy…

If you really are a friend of nature, you're free to come here any time. It's not much, but we can teach you a few tips on how to make the most of your surroundings. How to [Bake] things in order to make them better to eat, and how to build onto your jungle [Ecolog(y)]icly without harming the plant life. You don't need to give anything in return, but at the moment our hands are tied so we'll have to leave the information for you to collect- how about next to the stone you placed? My leader really likes art, and maybe we can take it up to the city later to display it."

Looking back at the chimps ahead, the pyromedic flashed a cautious smile. They were short, about the size of fairies, and altogether looked sincere in their expressions.

>>37615

In response to the compliment on her beauty, the fairy blushed. "I'm Cendrillon, leader of the 1st Medical Organization; I'm not technically on duty at the moment, but I just had to get a look at the forests for myself! This city was a project between us and our friends; we originally made it so that the fire could claim that it had something as great as the oceans or skies!

These wings… well, I guess you could say that these wings are me, and the rest is just equipment to make it easier to do things: we're fire fairies, the keepers of fire, and our leader would probably love to meet you! No wait, I know who'd like to see you, Sameda and the Herald of Fire! follow me and I can show you the Fire Tower where her disciples hone their skills: maybe you might have some aptitude, if you can fall into fire without getting burned!" She turned to greet the elder, noting that it appeared to be the strangers who were the source of the sudden cold air, causing her to think about the implications for a moment before moving back to the topic at hand.

"A pleasure to meet you, Spoke-Ssss-fim Tipyong. We're just trying to get ourselves and our friends settled down into our new surroundings… but I'm sure the Herald might be able to find use for you: she's a high ranking fairy, and was once even our leader while the Princess that normally governs was away! They say that she knows the origins of fire!"

Grill stood up and brushed the dust off her clothes, keeping a safe distance from the strange onlookers. "Oh, okay! We're just watching the skies for… stuff. Like you! Are you from the outside forests? We just got here! This city is named Sauna Oasis! Or, it was called Sauna Oasis. Now it's called Sky Oasis, but it's also called Clausae, which used to be the name of the entire country, but now that it's just a single city both the city and the country are named Clausae. It's made of sand! Melted sand!"

>>37652

>>37649

>any reply? or should I continue

>>37649

Startled at her guest suddenly breaking down into tears, the Princess placed a warm hand on her shoulder. "A fairy from down below? This is certainly most extraordinary news; to find that our kin extend this far from or origin point in the world. Tell me what you require, fairy of the forest down bellow, and it shall be done."

>>37650

The odd cat people of the Feldoms would find themselves staring before what appeared to be a paler-skinned human dressed in a strange outfit sitting on a tree before a multitude of various types of apes. A further look revealed that she appeared to have fire floating behind her back, like a set of wings.

The medic noticed an odd rustling of foliage and pointed. "Whose there?"

>>37654

"Princess. . .there are many words spoken by others, I know not if they have reached you, but I think the tale of my people is best told not through my own mouth but through the witness of nature." the fairy pulls out a branch, and explains to Princess how to use fairy magic to speak to the trees. if she were to listen closely, she might hear the message being spoke of in >>37602. of the primates who burned and destroyed, insulting and calling the strong trees that were grown abomination despite them being but tall and firm trees, of friends of the elves who came to their defense now themselves under attack. of the outposts destroyed, the homes burned, of war upon the peaceful and those who did not strike first, for the sake of brutal conquest and power. making mockery of "defending the forest" while destroying it. the Princess didn't have to hear the fairies words or believe or disbelieve, she could see, she could feel, she could hear. "Princess some of your subjects have told me your city left your lands at the hands of one that wished to conquer it, please aid us somehow, for I fear if we lose the same might happen to us and our dwarf friends. even now, their homes are burning."

>>37654

As the medical fairy looked over to the rustling, the Felions would come through the foliage in order to meet with her. Standing over both the fairy and the apes, the Felions would be like to tigers in appearance, only differentiated by them being humanoid in posture and somewhat massive in their bulk. Unlike the apes, the Felions would be armed and dressed more civilised, akin to a culture that someone would call 'chinese'.

"The Felion," the ambassador responded, "we are here to find the castle that flew across the landscape, so that we can greet them to these lands. Are you from such castle?"

>>37602

"Woah, I don't suppose a tree is smart enough to lie, er, no offence, but I don't think I can drag us inta war for myself, go ahead and head for the refuge…" the elf writes a message on a piece of rabbit skin, complete with a carefully drawn emblem, and sends you down the road for the capital.

>>37650

The floating city of Plumage is more like a basket filled to overflowing with wicker homes, it is draped in colorful cloth and equally colorful molted feathers. The bridge up to the city proper is light, and the strangers are warned to be gentle, "it really isn't meant for anything heavier than a cripple." Once the bridge is crossed however, you are ferried to a sort of throne room, and greeted by a young girl, "I am Princess Aithlin, why have you come?"

>>37657

>>37652

The Tumbili stiffen and shift in response to the approach of the cat-people, moving in seconds to a near-perfect battle formation, teeth and clubs at the ready. A single stomp of the leader's foot puts them at ease, however, and the Gorilla looks from medic to feline, sizing up the newcomers intently.

"We have not seen -your- kind on the mainland, 'Felion.'"

>>37658

>>37660

When Aithlin receives the message, the room crackles with energy, wind blustering about the room, through gritted teeth she says, "Unleash the storm upon them, they who have the gall to call *us* unholy."she hands back the branch, and struggles with the desire to destroy in that moment.

>you have your alliance.

>>37657

Back at ground level, the medic glanced wearily at the odd fuzzy figures before her. "I- yes, yes I am! The castle is up above you! But- who are you, what are you?" (Oh dear, I shouldn't have said it like that!)

Taking attention off her diplomatic faux-pass, the flame-winged person continued. "The city in question if the Principality of Clausae, all of it, contained in its many towers! We just got here!"

>>37662

>>37659

"Again, we are Felions, from the tribal feldoms to the south-east. We wish to meet your ruler, so that we can better understand what brought you here." While they were aware of them, the Felions don't give much care to the armoured apes outside of some stares.

>>37658

The Felions sent to Plumage would have some delay getting to the throne room, especally considering they broke the bridge trying to get up to the city the first time around. But once they arrived, they would get straight to business:

"I am ambassador Soh from the feldom of Felshia, we are here to greet you and ask what brought you here?"

>>37585

During the sun's daily fall over the horizon, under the shadows of the great walls, and through the rope left by a prince, the human city would be breached by a non-human. In wonder of the human wonders, a Felion sneaked into the city so that 'she' could see them for 'herself'. Of course this goes against the law of the realm, but to see human culture was worth the risk to 'her'.

>>37652

The lich continued to speak the noble nodding their head with a pleased smile stretching and letting some of their muscles be stretched and pop."We are from a Mountain on a big island deary…heh it sounds nice I imagine it was very warm there yeah?"

>>37663

"Your greeting is well received, as for why we came here, we ignored a threat too long and had to flee. We are not like to make the same mistake twice."

(Shit dude, i didn't even notice you talked to me, i never saw a reply thing)

Arr, who be you and what is yer business on the Flying Dutchman? We don't usually like unexpected visitors, but you are not among the living, so we will entertain ye for now

>>37662

>>37668

A diplomat of the Olmara surfaces at the edge of both of your territory by the river. The emissary wears a robe seemingly made from opaque glass of mainly green with dark blue highlights and designs. The two guards flanking the emissary wear what seems like quilted fabric armor with a stone design and wield spears tipped with blue-green glass spearheads and short sword sidearms of the same material.

>>37669

The Dark brown and strangely for his caste outright amazingly jade eyed lich in stark contrast to his fellows pale milky eyes responds eagerly with a small smile."Well my friend Your fellow undead and I wanted to meet you while we…are clearly differnt types of undead I suppose its..reassuring to see others but we are explorers of The United Northern Tribes out to see everything there is to see so mind telling me a bit you have a beautiful ship." Their voice was warm…nicr to hesr soothing to the old skeleton ear perhaps they just gave off an aura of trustworthiness whether or not its real is another matter.

>>37673

I'm afraid i wont be telling ye anything about the Dutchman here, for to show all yer cards is to have none at all. I cannot tell you much about the lands here for we just recently sailed here ourselves. We have no wish but to rule the seas, in order to do that, we've set up lumber mills and quarries on the island upon which ye now find yerselves. If you would help us rule the seas, perhaps we could help you rule the land, if that so be yer wish

>>37675

They listen quietly and then nod solemnly understanding before giving a small thumbs up."Understood sir Our goal…at least right now is to be able to settle somewhere warm and maybe restore the warmth of out original home…we'll see about the conquering thing either way Ill make sure to report back to the big lady back home."

((God these nice guys I've been sending out are gonna be such a contrast to their leader lol))

>>37676

Well like anyone trying to get warm, I would tell ye to look to the south, warmer winds tend to blow from that direction

>>37679

"Thanks I'm Erin Hertlend Lich caste cousin of the great Rebirther…If you have any questions before I go feel free."

>>37670

"An what are you here about?"

>>37681

"Quite rude way to greet emissary. We represent Olmara. We come to learn who you are and why you here."

>>37682

"My apologies, I was a bit distracted. We are linked to the sky, and while our heads we r e in the clouds, a conqueror carved out an empire. They turned to us, and we left, leaving a great storm in our wake." With that last phrase she gives you a meaningful look like "please don't shoot the bomb, sir."

>>37682

((Talking to me?))

>>37685

((Did I link my post to you? If no then no.))

>>37684

"That not explain who your people are. May we enter and see your leader, or are we bared from your home?"

>>37686

"I *AM* princess Aithlin, and perhaps I should elaborate, our essence is wind, and we were attacked by the soul of struggle. We consumed them with a storm, and left them behind. We'd love nothing more than to believe that we could have a peaceful existence, but we aren't going to sit quietly this time."

>>37687

((To be fair I thought I was talking to some random ass guard))

"Then I should introduce myself. I am emissary Tikal, sent to learn more of your people and gauge your intentions within these lands. Our people are the O'jala of Olmara, who claim the seas and waters of these lands. As long as you do not seek to trespass or ignore our sovereignty we will probably have no issues. As for peace you come at poor time for it. The apes you are near war with forest folk who resemble your people without wings. Both claim the other defiles the jungle. We know not if either side holds truth in that claim, but the bearded mountain men and their smoke spewing machines do support the forest folk."

>>37694

"If you came this far just to tell us to respect you, then there may be little about you to respect. Do tell me that there is more."

>Posting actions, so that I don't get skipped.

1: Back home, there would be two different school of thought about the foreigners that landed on the mainland. The ruling royalties of the Feldoms would be both fearful and suspicious about them, seeing this as a justification for improving upon the armed forces.

>Retraining Spearfels [1.2] +Ironworking +Weaponsmithing II +Infantry I +Discipline I +Forges I

2: However, the more independent merchants of Felshore would see this as a economic opportunity, and so would be more trusting to the foreigners. Out of their own pockets, they would fund trade with the more impressive of the two foreigners, in spite of the scouts not arriving back yet.

>Establish a trade route with Classá ((>>37516)) +Economy I +Sailing II

>>37696

"And if you could listen, little wings, we have stated that we are here to learn who you are and why you are here. So far you have said that you are fleeing your lands to here to avoid conquest, but have failed to truly give anything of value for who your people are. So we ask a few questions:

Who are you as a nation, as a people?

What is it you believe, you stand for?

What is it you find atrocious, evil beyond measure?

I must admit though I find it remarkable your understanding of the trade language despite being in these lands such a short period of time."

>>37699

The emissary gives a short nod "I am Soa, emissary of Olmara. I am here to speak to your leader. Seeing your castle would be quite wonderful too." The emissary is quite amazed at how well the fairy spoke the trade tongue.

>>37699

The lich kinda blinks and shrugs before quietly shaking their head."Im fine for now dear is there anyone we should meet I suppose since this is our first time here? Our leader would like to learn all they can."

>>37699

>>37663

The fairy's sudden departure brought a look of suspicion and scorn upon the face of the gorilla, who looked to the Felions now standing in the clearing with them.

"We are not who you have come to -speak- with. But we have come to -speak-. Your lands are far removed from our own. There is little conflict of interest. Perhaps we may speak of -trade-, for the refugee -fairies- are reluctant to engage in such."

>>37668

"Well, provided that you do not bring acts of hostility to these lands, we will not allow that mistake to be done once more. However, I must question on behalf of the Feldoms about this 'threat' that you ignored…"

>>37702

The Felion ambassador shrugged off the offer of trade, unwilling to trust him, "Not only do we not know enough about your culture in order to judge the worth of exchanging trade, but judging by one's appearance, you don't appear to have much to offer in the first place."

>>37699

((I should ask if the trade route being rolled at >>37697 is fine and dandy with you, if that's alright?))

>>37698

"We are the children of the sky, the Principality of Plumage. We believe that as spirits of air, it is our place to fly, carrying whatever it is that needs moved, and to speak, taking messages or leading. As for what is evil, striking peaceful people is certainly among it, as is judging someone fundamentally different by your own standars. For example, I would never judge you by your ability to fly."

>>37703

The people of machaka, the souls of struggle, we have many working beneath us, but the nation of them, they decided to struggle in taking the world. They started by absorbing stagnant nations, we didn't notice until we were surrounded and outnumbered. Leaving us no chance of holding both our lands and our pride, so, holding little value on lines in the sand, we created a great storm to occupy them while we made our escape. Many elf souls are bound to that storm, which likely still rages over their sacred grove, a fact that they almost certainly are pleased about.

>>37703

The Gorilla gave a snarl of offense and slapped at the ground, turning tail and loping back into the trees without another word.

>>37704

>>37703

The emissary gives a nod of respect to the felion emissary, only now noticing them, before turning back to the princess. "You would use the souls of your people to spite your enemy?"

>>37707

"Many thought becoming part of that great storm a better fate than fleeing with the classa, something I myself would have done if I could have."

>>37708

"…Yet your continued survival suggested that wasn't the case. Was that because of some connection to the people's belief or morale?"

>>37709

"That has more to do with a personal curse, I would rather not go into detail about it."

>>37708

The emissary is quite disgusted and saddened, but the O'jala do not have the muscles to make facial expressions and their tails do not move to show feelings. "We have another question, what is it you consider innocent?"

>>37711

"Innocent of what? None are entirely innocent, even children soon do something. If what you ask is where one becomes amoral, that could only be when one treats another out of accordance of what the other is."

>>37712

"That is to say, one does not ask a dog to climb a cliff face."

>>37712

The emissary nods in respect to Princess Aithlin "Thank you, this meeting has been quite informative. May the currents be with you lady of the winds." With that the O'jala take their leave.

Anything else you would like to know?

>>37717

"Impressive. What type of glass was used to construct this?"

>>37717

Given permission like that the noble rushed ahead eagerly into the city and after a few more moments and a wave the other two lich caste's follow after em.

>>37723

"Ah, you speak of fire glass. We have a supply of it that we are not using. We will bring it up with your leader when we meet."

>>37652

(Sorry I took so long! Busy day!)

"Hi Cendrilion!" Says the teen as the elder bows slightly.

As the fire fairy continues, her words move the Sfim. Your reasons for building the city, in reverence to the flame, sends a happy ripple through the crowd, nodding and more of that strange hand symbol exchanged between them. When Cendrillion mentions that she IS the flame on her back, the Sfim are slack-jawed. A living, breathing representation of their greatest love?

But then…

A Herald of Fire? Who lives in the Tower of Fire? These obviously flame-related 'skills'? Not a whisper escapes the Sfim. This is too much. Angels have descended to earth and told them that they are RIGHT. That what they worship and cherish and believe is GOOD and PROPER.

Silently, the Tipyong brings himself to bear, tears in his eyes. "Thank you. Thank you indeed. We would love to see all the wonders you have, and learn whatever you will teach us. We are in your debt, a debt of a thousand lifetimes."

"Yeah, totes." Chimes in Cymder, who is equally impressed, if less reverent. "This sounds like the coolest stuff I've ever heard of, like, exactly what we've all been looking for?"

>>37727

The emissary sends one of their guards to look for water to keep their scales from drying out while they wait.

>>37737

((Hope yah don't mind))

The prince was not alone as he snook about and if he were to look up he would notice a blue haired dragon-kin watching him…with…some kinda hunger in their eyes…did the prince actually put himself In danger by going out here?!

Correction Blue eyed not blue haired.

>>37740

Some kind of haired lizard monster? Knowing that hesitation meant death in a situation like this, Prince Arin instinctively released an untipped but sharpened arrow from his bow at the creature, attempting to hold his ground against it. It appeared to wear some form of clothing: it was apparent this was no mere beast like the ones he had encountered in the wilderness.

>>37736

The Felion rose its paws above its head, for in spite of the innate strength that they have over most of the races in the known world, they were still vulnerable to swords and arrows. "I mean you no harm, I just wanted to see how you live, in this city of yours!"

>>37742

You hit it..hit it hard and it yelped before it fell down in front of you twitching…with a crack of bones you had pierced a wing…very well placed shot had ripped a big hole right in it and they came falling down they were bleeding from their head.Horn's were visbible on their head the creature looked fememine and its blue eye's looked up at the young prince annoyed before it….it spoke."Nice shot……I.." The creature seemed almsot furious for a moment as it fought to try to keep its dignity as it responded in a forced polite tone."I…Apoligize I thought you were food you looked like something…I assumed…." The dragon-kin then couldent hold it anymore and growled."….Fuck it..I'm starving and I thought you would be easier prey then some wild animal."

>>37746

The Prince kept his eye on the hairy winged lizard and his bow drawn, interested yet remaining on edge. "Huh. You can speak?" He glanced at the lagomorph he felled earlier, slowly moving towards it while keeping his weapon taut. "You're hungry? It seems there is plenty of easier game around this area; at least, easier to subdue if you know the ways of the arrow." He kicked the animal carcass towards the injured reptilian. "Can you give me any information on this area, or are you still intent on trying to eat the Prince of Humania?"

>>37747

They….stare at the carcass as it is brought close to them and they gently get up picking it up…..they are extremely tall….they quietly bite into it with sharp teeth and chee before swallowing…they wait a few moments and after seeing tgeir not dead give a small smile."Don't know what humania is but those guys your heading towards I'm pretty sure there some kinda civilization intelligent judging by what I've seen….I can also tell you that I am a dragon-kin…though I have not been to my home since the great ftost scattered us….recently I have seen my kind flying about….they will likely be less hostile then me…It is intresting how out forms are similar…in structure…so you are a human? And…..a prince is a noble correct? Well I suppose I am a noble as well…I am Alaine Redenbocker"

>>37737

Most of the population in Olyria where minor packs clumped together into a small village, their mayor being of the Aconite pack, named after a poison flower of the same name. Earlier, one of their patrols had seen the human Prince and quietly slipped away back to the village to which Shoji Aconite, the current mayor, told everyone to get away from the village with any important belongings they may have, and hide. Now that the prince was so close to the village, there would be quite a few Ookami peering through the foliage from afar, just watching this odd intruder, and although none would really be able to be seen at this point, both the Prince and the Dragonkin would at this point get the feeling that they where being watched by…something.

(Sorry for the delay, I only now just got on)

>>37748

Arin grunted. "My father was not feeling particularly creative when he named the Kingdom. I-"

>>37749

He paused. The Prince noticed something amiss, and slowly reclined into a standing kneel to reduce his profile. "Alaine Redenbocker of Dragonkina, if you wish to stay among the realm of the living, I suggest you take cover, as I feel we have fallen into a trap." He glared through the foliage in front of them, attempting to make anything out of the wilderness whilst aiming his weapon, his arm starting to fatigue from keeping it drawn for an extended period.

>>37750

Alaine crouched of course it dosent help much but their claws are clearly at the ready and she's tensed….she look's kinda fast…whether she'll fight along side you or run is another matter.

The Prince wouldn't really see anything in the forests and brush, other then an odd, large stone in the distance. However, they would hear something nearby rustling, and then they would barely hear a voice saying "Idō o teishi suru ka, karera ga watashitachi o mitsukerudeshou."

(Sorry but I have to go, so I'll be back in a hour or so)

(I'm back, in case you where wondering.)

>>37752

Prince Airn misfires, the arrow harmlessly flying far into the sky. Whatever was observing them was not speaking proper manish. "Who goes there?" he shouted, reaching for another arrow while keeping an eye on his so called "acquaintance", rising a bit in order to try and make out the source of the strange speech. "Do you speak man?"

He felt the lining of his quiver: it appears that he was all out of projectiles, having failed to keep track of them during his travel.

>>37759

The creatured stared as it noticed you were outta arrows…but luckily it did not turn on you instead moving ahead of you it was bigger and had sharp fangs and claws so it was the more likely to be able to win in a engagement."Show yourself now."

>>27759

All would be silent, for a while, not a single sound heard other then the occasional breeze and other sounds of nature, after about a minute a voice from behind would say "Well well well, what do we have here?~" If the prince or the dragonkin turned around they would see a 5,2 female with long brown hair and violet eyes wearing a red and white dress. To the prince, it would look like a human with wolf ears and a tail, though if he looked closely at their nails he would notice they where thick and claw like. "I have to wonder what you two foreigners are doing here of all places. But judging by how you look, your mostly harmless." she then whistles and a bunch of people come out of the foliage, most of them unarmed, and there is even a few kids, two of which come from a bush nearby. The ones that are armed however, wield spears.

"You know, a patrol spotted you earlier and informed me of you, so, I had everyone hide, just in case. Its better safe then sorry after all, but now I see there was no reason to do such an action. Oh where are my manors, I am Shoji Aconite, mayor of Olyria and Martial leader of the Aconite pack." she does a slight bow before standing proper again. "This is most defiantly an…abysmal introduction to say the least, that much is sure. How about we fix that."

>>37761

"You…" Arin's eyes widened. These people were thin-bodied and small, pale-skinned, and their ears were rather furry, but they looked like… "Humans?" According to his father, all of humanity lived within sight of the capital city's walls. Only a few isolated outposts as well as the small town of Isin'Guard who dealt with foreign traders existed outside the King's immediate view. The Prince extended out his hand as if he was trying to feel the people in front of him to check they were real.

>>37761

>>37763

The dragon-kin gives a small whistle looking at the creature a smile growing on thrir face perverted in nature before an admiring tone seeps into their voice as they speak. "Helloooo beautiful~"

((Dragon-Kin have some likeness of humand though they look more alien then ookami defintly))

>>37763

The Ookami would extend a hand out and try to shake the humans hand if he allowed it. "Personally, I thought the ones not blessed by Asena died out long ago, but it seems that isn't the case. But no, we are not humans, even if our ancestors once where, instead, we are Ookami, and this land belongs to the Wychwood Republic. Do you have anything you would like to inquire?"

(So, are they dragon monster girls or antro dragons?)

>>37765

((They have albino skin human like but it is scaled around their limbs neck and joints they have hair..and they have horns and a long tail as well as wings.Their very tall as well.They look more human then dragon I would say.))

>>37744

Ane elf alights upon the wall, this is perhaps the only nation that hasn't approached the Principality, with the exception of the moths that spoke with their close friends. With golden wings and colored robes detailed with wisps of cloud the fae seems more like a work of art than a living thing, but he isn't unprotected, his bow is strung and 3 arrows are held at it, if needed it would take less than a second to loose them all. He surveys the city below from his relatively close vantage point. >>37744 He sees a Felion being led into the palace, and takes it as a good sign, they did offer protection after all. He disarms himself, unstringing the bow and placing it within the quiver with the arrows, and then, he desends to the palace.

>>37765

Confused yet receptive, Prince Arin returned the hand shake. "According to my father, all humans that leave the view of the Great Wall die…

But I suppose that is not exactly the truth given the circumstances. Shoji Aconite, Mayor of Olyria, I am honored to be welcomed to this settlement. I am Arin, Son of King Abu-Abum II and Prince of the Humanian Kingdom." Arin omitted calling the state by its truer, yet less flowing H.H.H. name. I have wandered the wilds for a week now, seeking something that I could not fine within the confines of my home. Perhaps this meeting was destined."

Arin directed attention to the reptilian. "That "dragonikin" calls herself Alaine. Redenbocker Alaine. Earlier, we were having a bit of a…disagreement, but I assume it was largely hunger-induced. There are many questions I have to ask, but perhaps the most immediate one is a question of hospitality; would I be allowed to spend the day dwelling amongst yourselves?"

>>37768

This quickly reminds Alaine of the corpse in her hand that she had been graciously given and she begins to quietly eat it watching the interactions between the two. She was a bit miffed that they dident respond to her flirting at all the ookami women.

>>37768

"No, no its not seeing how you are still standing, although being of a higher class or of leadership does give one access to training and skills that others are not able to obtain so easily, Prince." She paused before whistling something different from before and most of the other Ookami seemed to start to go back to the town, though some seemed to stay and watch the two outsiders. She then continued "Perhaps it was destined for us to meet, perhaps…You can stay here for a day, we have a few uninhabited houses since their occupants left for New Haven, you can stay in one. However, I would like to ask you a question, what is that weapon you where using? It seems…interesting to say the least." she seemed to be ignoring the dragon kin offering not much more then a occasional glance, she seemed much more interested with the human in front of her, that much was sure.

(So, dragon monster girls, got it)

>>37777

The emissary nods her head in respect to the fairy princess. "Yesss, one of your own brought us up in a basket. Must also deny the offering of this 'cake' or 'tea' as we O'jala do not have the capacity to taste, nor do they sound like something we can eat either way. We come to ask about you, who you are, what you believe in, and why you are here, to see how we must deal with you in the future. Please, talk about your people and we will answer any questions about ours."

It is at this point that the throne room door may have been suprisngly opened but…it was not from the nobles and lich they saw earlier its..it was someone who looked much more impressive they were tall a inmpressive 10ft4 their skin was seemingly almost tanned strangely and they let a smile show teeth sharp their hair was a rather bright blond…they seemed vibrant…very vibrant…This was The Great Rebirther themselves they had seen the city and after some contemplation decided they dident want just the civies to get the fun of exploring..besides these creatures looked rather….."delectable."

Shoji took the bow when offered it and looked at it for a while before handing it back "Peculiar…very peculiar…We haven't any weapons like these, only our claws and our spears, and even the spears are new, relatively speaking of course. Now, I'm sure you are hungry seeing that you gave your catch to the one over there. I can have one of my pack escort you to a house and get some food for you if you desire. However, I'm afraid I have to deal with your little acquaintance before I can join you to talk more. I hope you don't mind."

The dragon-Kin stares at the ookami the moment they say that glaring at them…they suddendly felt very..paranoid..they were jealous weren't they…they wanted to consume her delicious flesh dident they? Murder her bruttaly such savages! Such barabrity why do they have to be so cute! "….what do you mean why can I not go with the noble?"

>>37790

The Prince nodded and respectfully bowed, starting towards the city following the pack of Ookami which he conspicuously stood out from. "I thank you, Mayor Shoji Aconite of Olyian and the Aconites."

>>37793

>>37792

Shoji nodded at the prince before motioning for the ones still nearby to help him get to a empty house and get food for him before she looked at the dragon kin who would find that they where now alone. "Simple, I wanted to talk, preferably alone and a bit away from here, after all, I couldn't help but notice how you said that I was aesthetically pleasing earlier, so I figured I'd take to knowing more about you, after all, I have not much else to do right now."

>>37789

The elf enters the palace, hoping to speak with the man who ignored flying cities.

>>37794

Alaine kinda stared dumbly for a few moments before a purple blush tinted their face and they gave a nervous laugh they….dident expect their advances to be reciprocated to be honest….but they certainly dident mind so with some gusto in her tone she spoke."Well Milady thank you. I am Alain Redenbocker Dragon-Kin and I'm of the age of 19 my dear. Truly you are though rather cute looking…the ears….in particular I just want to fiddle with…..and maybe a few other places." Was…this how flirting works..it was lewd right…..this is much easier with other dragon-kin you could just try to show off by beating one a rival or impress them with some aerial manuevers perhaps…but one of her wings was incapable right now….and she thinks bashing them in the face with her horns wouldent get her anywhere.

>>47796

Shoji motioned to the dragonkin to follow her and started walking in the opposite direction of the village with a sly grin on her face. "I already introduced myself to you and your noble friend earlier, so you should know my name, however as you have stated your age I feel obliged to proclaim my own, I am 22 years old. You are free to mess around with my ears as you so wish, I personally do not mind." She would stop and look up at the sky, observing the clouds for a moment before continuing walking and talking "I'm curious, however. What made you not ask anyone for help even when you where starving? Was it pride, or fear that dissuaded you from coming down to ask for something to fill the void in your stomach."

>>37799

They quietly think for a few moments heading up behind you looking doen on you as they tweak shoji's ears eagerly feeling there softness…..and most of all…..warmth beautiful warmth which makes the dragon-kin shudder…noticeably the dragon-kins hands are relatively cold…after a few more moments they answer."….Ill…admit it was pride a bit….Stubborness I expected hunting to be easier here but I'm not used to this type of…kinda foresty place…the animals are quick and hide in nooks and crannys…I also had no idea if I would be able to communicate with them through language anyway."

>>37800

Shoji's ear twitched from how cold the dragonkins hand was, she wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as cold as it was. If they stuck around at least it would be nice to cool down during the particularly hot summer days. Either way, the dragonkin would find that the ears are in fact very soft, like that of a superiority made blanket. "Figures as much." They say before they stop and turn to look at you, with a look of deadly seriousness before speaking in a similar tone "But a word of advice, pride really does lead to overestimation of ones abilities as well as overconfidence, and such estimation and foolhardiness can lead to death, of yourself and others." they then turn back and continue walking and in their normal tone say "We have developed techniques to prevent both small and large game from escaping, I'm sure I could teach you them if you so wished to learn, given enough time. Though really, you should have tried to communicate with us, or at least tried to take some of what we hunted." they smile and then jokingly say "Although, I doubt you are one for concealing yourself and going around things instead of simply going through them."

>>37803

"…Yeah going for a more direct approach is more my way I'll defintely say…um…did you um hear anything about the rest of my kind…I've been hearing rumors…about how some of em have been spotted those true?"

>>27803

"Personally, the opposite is true with me, I like the more discreet and quiet rout instead of the loud and direct one. It helps in getting a edge in hunting and in other situations that require a much more delicate way of handling things. And yes, yes I have, not one day ago I received news that the Willow pack who where creating a new village by the see came in contact with your kind, apparently, one seemed alive while the others seemed much less so."

>>37808

Alaine stared and raised an eyebrow."What does that mean exactly?"

>>37812

Shoji sighs "It means that one looked normal and the others looked like walking corpses." She stated rather bluntly.

>>37815

((excuse me what))

You will both stop this, or you're both out.

>>37817

The one senteance posts?

>>37818

Thats not me…besides, Ookami dont even have furry hands, just furry ears and tails.

Also, Ookami aren't foxgirls…If you are going to be a imposter at least do it right…

also the character I was using for this was a girl…so don't know where they got him from.

>>37789

Please control your friends, or I will kick their shit in.

I have no clue who the imposter is, and judging from their writing, they are defiantly not any friend I have.

Oh wait, that wasn't directed to me.

>>37827

What the fuck is going on.

>>37828

you brought this upon yourselves.

I don't care who the sad excuse of a person who has no life is trying to ruin this thread is, but knock it off and delete your slannesh teir garbage.

>>37824

I sincerely apologize for this, Wheels.

>>37813

>>37815

Hey mates, tone this down before you get kicked: we already had to do it with Daffy.

i dident erp it was some weirdo who changed their name to mine who did the pantaloon thing I wouldent erp on here.

>>37838 understood Will do.

Same thing as ath, again, Ookami arent foxgirls, if anything they are wolfgirls…

>>37846

The great Rebirther gave a chuckle at the beings nervousness and casually sat down it was almost…disturbing the sound the chair made as they sat down and gently cleaned their teeth with a claw of…some kinda flesh before they responded their eyes focusing on the small being in front of them. "Sadly I am carnivorous….I should be able to drink the tea without consequence though." They would quietly grab some tea taking a long sip before placing it down."Nice place you've got here….Nice wings..oh but silly me…." They hold out a clawed hand."I am The leader of The northern Dragon-kin tribes…The great rebirther Rena Alexander Hertlend.It is nice to meet you Zharar."Throughout the whole encounter one could describe their voice as smooth..perhaps maybe a bit cold but…not filled with malice at the very least…but they do eye you up like a slab of meat ready to be slaughtered…so maybe that's a bit unnerving yah know?

>>37846

The diplomat ignores the interruption. "We of Olmara have studied transmutation, and this has naturally led to studies of the elements that compose our world. In all the world it is only fire with no true home. We theorized this is because fire is the element of change; always on the move. When the fire leaves lava it cools to stone; and wood becomes ash when fire leaves it. I doubt there will ever be a true home for such a force of change, but this glass oasis, made from such a force, is truly beautiful."

>>37847

Only after saying that piece does the diplomat turn an eye to the intruder. "Quite rude to intrude upon another's meeting." The diplomat's eyes widen a bit and her nostrils flare a bit, as if preparing for a hunt.

>>37848

"Sorry for the impoliteness I was raised by migration and leaving all my loved ones to die brutally of the cold so please forgive my lack of etiquette your scales are actually quite beautifull Ill say." The rebirther shrugs looking a bit casual if…some bit of….perhaps genuinety could be seen in their facial expression.

>>37850

When the fairy held a hand out…the great ebirther smiled closed liped and gently took the hand…and then..they froze…and after a few moments their b body twitched……..and a grin plastered across its face as it gently moved down and kissed the hand before looking up there eyes…loved….very…relaxed….energized a well..and..maybe a bit nostalgic of a sorts…they looked happy."….Your……very warm….my people have always loved the warmth we are cold blooded after all we need heat to be able to really live…." The great rebirther seemed much much…..much more interested in you. "Your very beautiful princess would you like to come with me sometime to see frostvale?"

>>37852

"HEY PUT THAT THE FUCK DOWN!" they quickly got up scowling this creatin was a blight and sure maybe rena was bit rude but they dident go around threatening random people at least verbally.Rena opened her mouth and visibly attempted to calm themselves."You are in a palace and you are being incredibly rude I actually have some business to discuss with the princess and furthermore While many of my people are undead some of them are not." Rena then turned to move back to the princess before something clicked and their voice went cold."…..What do you mean by chased off before? did you hurt my people?"

"….I am female……now please stop alright..I don't have time for such violence right now..I am not undead either."They flew up quickly and behind the princesse's area."Princess may you please remove these people? I can do it but I would rather not crouch down to their level." Rena looked very frustrated this looked like a diplomatic catastrophy in the making…would anyone be able to stop this before it went too far?

>>37857

Rena addmittedly was at a bit of a loss for words…these people…were clearly insane…they would probably try to murder the princess for all rena knew.As such rena took the only logical course of action she could think of and dived down ubder the table and swiftly grabbed the princess or at the very least tried before most likely smashing through a nearby window blocking the shards with their scaled hands and tail. .this was most likely painful to rena if they had the princess considering that the princess had fire wings….her skin on her chest would be a bit red or maybe crispy if they brough the princess obviously fue to their fire wings..Either way they would try to land nearby and then set the princess down if they had her."….crazy bastards."

Statement retracted since I didn't actually read what was being posted in thread and Wheelie did complain. Apologies.

Yes some things definitely do need to be kept to private, particularly where one particular scene was going. I had thought the complaint was against long legimate national diplomacy, not . . .whatever was going on.

>>37861

((This guy not me.

Whoever you are stop sullying my good name I can do that myself your are intrerutping a perfectly good thread and you attempted to infraud me and most likely get me banned and your most likely the same person who infrauded asena so please leave and have a good day.))

>>37862

Just get a trip you mong

>>37854

An elf, more specifically one by the name of Colonel Burntplume Saccharine, steps in to intervene. Spreading his fire tinted wings and facing the more aggressive moths. "I will not have violence in here, you will speak to the dragon, and understand what he has to say. Or you will leave, and allow the princess to deal with him."

>>37858

Good idea. Anything separate.

>>37870

Rena would breath as they looked at the uncounsious princess and sighed..that dident go entirely as planned….at least no one was actually hurt…well except for rena she had quite a few pieces of glass in her and was a little burned…luckily she knew how to wake up people who fell unconscious like this and after a few minutes the princess would feel herself coming to."…Sorry couldn't take the chance the guys woulda attacked you too or something you know?'

>>37871

>>37870

The guard wipes the cake off of his face and starts picking the stray glass shards out from his scales. The diplomat watches this scenario while wishing the O'jala had something to cause intoxication back home.

>>37870

Saccharine looks first to the Sfim, "I'll deal with you later." And flies after the dragon, and his royal hostage, his delicate feet not even touching the ground as he dashes through the shattered wall.

>>37871

As he descends upon Rena he draws forth a small ball of condensed wind energy, it would never injure someone on its own, but it will knock anyone back, hard. "What in the most accursed unmoving Stone was that about?"

Rena turns and wipes at their clothes brushing some dust off .Before they respond their pretty clearly female."..I do not know what the creatures deal was I have not hurt any of them before and I have not ordered any such attack their claiming…from what I gathered that some of my citizens attacked them..I find it unlikely…seeing as they cant tell a living being from an undead."Though the man probably wanted to know why they picked up the princess. "I picked up the princess because I felt they would attack her simply put I do not trust there sanity and I thought they would try to kill her so I removed her from the situation."

>>37873

post is above.

>>37874

Saccharine looks Rena in the eye for a moment, then exhales very deeply. He releases the energy in his hand, knocking everyone's breath out, except his own, which was already out, he then advises, "Breath out first, it'll be easier to get it back that way. Sorry for that by the way, wind energy can't just be dissapated."

>>37876

Addmitedly this wind magic was quite impressive to knock out someone as massive as rena's breath….she…stared and smiled just a bit…that was a fascinating experience….she quickly breathed deep regaining her breath….she seemed a little cold from the air blown at her though she quickly rubbed some heat into he body." Understood it is no problem sorry I broe the window I'll repay it if you wish or at least try to repay it."

>>37878

Any other nation and that much glass would be very expensive. As it is, it'll be almost like stacking clay.

>>37896

"Most people are fine, your princess was kidnapped by a dragon-kin who I suspect to have brain problems, as my people say 'not the brightest coral in the reef'. Now then while this comedy plays out we shall take our leave. Tell your princess when she is recovered to contact us if she wishes to discuss trade of fire glass, the black sharp glass I do not know what your people call it." With that the diplomatic party take their leave.

>>37879

"You know when I woke up this morning I thought it would be a pretty normal day.Eat some meat give some orders talk with a few friends and not much else and when I came here I didn't expect all this insanity to happen…I suppose we should bring the princess somewhere to rest or to people who can take care of her she passed out but I don't think she is hurt," Rena admittedly did feel kind of bad about knocking out the princess they were a warm sort and their reaction to her sheer size was a little endearing they hoped this didn't fuck things too much.

>>37902

Outpost created.

>>37902

Floating City: 2/15

Rolled 20, 83, 100 = 203 (3d100)

>>37902

Nation Name: Olmara

Race(s): O'jala (semi-amphibious fish people)

Color: Blue-green

Fluff: The wise men tell of a time the O'jala swam the oceans, hunting the fish and larger animals, and forage seaweed. Then the three wise ones were hatched in the O'jala's clutches. The first, Miah, saw the seaweed and saw to cut a piece off and put it where it would grow and it would take hold. The second, Shio, saw fish that ate the seaweed and learned to herd them and keep them in a designated area to raise and eat. The third, Olmar, the wisest of them all, observed coral for years until he learned to grow the coral to his desires to shelter the O'jala from the large beasts and natural currents of the deep. He grew and grew until the O'jala had a city to call home. The O'jala named the city after him and the three wise ones were placed in charge. The three wise ones chose their successors before retiring in old age, but continued to advise the new Wise Ones as the first of the Old Ones. As such the city has continued and grown and now they look out beyond their walls to the wide world before them.

Eccentricities:

[Sea Dwellers]: The Olmara are masters of their watery home, travelling through it with incredible ease. It is very hard for them to expand far from water, however.

[Bounty of the Sea]: The seas of Primal World are teeming with life, and each action the Olmara take to acquire food is more successful. However, monsters lurk in the deep, and everything must come to the water's edge to drink….

[Undead]: The Dragon-Kin are undead, and therefore do not need to eat. However, units higher up in the caste system (ie stronger), cost more than usual.

[Cold Adapted]: The Dragon-Kin of the north are well adapted to the cold, and can learn how to use their natural environment easily. However, they are very weak to fire.

1.Rena is extremely curious about the worlds technology and realizes that her races technology is probably mostly inferior in probably several ways and as such is sending civilians off to buy technology and bring it back so we may study it. Put 3 gold into this action

2.The lich tribes primitive code seems to be rather catching on and rena of course would like it to be expanded upon and better understood. Honor code 1/4

3 Attempt to catch some animals and create some form of pasture or convert the farms into pasture's that will supply meat that can be used to be sold and satisfy some of the noble populace. Spend 2 gold on this.

>>37744

The felion went down onto his knees as he bowed to the human king of Humania, partly in genuine honor, but partly because otherwise he would be at eye-level with him. "I don't mean any harm, king Abu-Abum… I am Shénhu, an Felshore Felion attracted into your city to be in awe to what you have. From the great walls that could only be breached by internal aid, to the forest within said city's walls. And the people are free to be who they are, never forced to be a certain kind of person because of their birth."

Shénhu flinched backwards to pull back it's hood, revealing his tiger-esqe face. "I didn't want to bring harm to your legitimacy, however… I just wanted to see the wonders for myself."

>>37906

Addendum to number 3 check how much food we actually have and if we don't have much gather some more. Still spend 2 gold on this.
