They tested it on prisoners in Vezenia. They even broke their legs to see if it would heal them.

Well... It won't keep you from bleeding to death. But it will help heal battle injuries that would be debilitating for a lifetime within a few weeks.

That's pretty cool. A useful trading material.

I'm looking at the CSes, and where did the Terriean (Sorry for spelling) Empire get 24,000 ships?

I'm also a wee bit intimidated.

 

[Shireling]

Considering I'm a naval power and I have 60-something ships.

 

[Serenade]

Fear my 10-20 ships!

 

[lcomstock4]

A thousands ships is a huge amount, I couldn't see them having over 100

 

[jole875]

I honestly thought that Machdahl was the elite naval power, if you have a thousand ships they better be dinghies.

The Kingdom of the Two Elisias

Political

​

Footsteps echoed on the marble floors of the sleepy villa where the supreme leader of Elisia slept. A small man dressed in a bright courier's uniform was walking at a blistering pace past guards standing at the ready with crossbows and halberds. After a long walk down a vaulted hall decorated by brilliant frescos, the courier reached the large dark oak doors of the Lord's chambers. The guards at either side pushed the door in on great brass knockers and closed it behind him.


On the other side of the door, Lord Alonso sat writing furiously with a quill on his dark mahogany desk. Behind him, in the grand chamber, a bed as large as some hovels rose from the floor. Beyond that, glass doors revealed a garden filled with court acoyltes and women in loose-fitting gowns. The courier thought he saw a figure move in the tossed sheets of the bed, but averted his eyes, being a good and religious man.


"My lord," the courier spoke, "a letter from the Blackfyres of Kovir."


Alonso looked up from his desk and snatched the letter. He glanced over it. "What nonsense is this?"


"A few of his missionaries were detained recently by Church officials. They were returned safely, despite their heathenish beliefs."


Alonso only grumbled. "Leave me. I have... important matters to attend to.." He glanced towards the bed.


"Good day, my lord." The courier said, quickly scurrying out of the room and concealing a red face. This villa made him uncomfortable and he would be glad to have left it.

Economy

​

Elisian merchants begin talks with the Merchants Guilds of Harandar to establish preferential trading rates and new trade routes between their nations.

Military

​

An expedition of 500 troops (200 halberdiers, 150 crossbowmen, 150 spadiccos) are sent to escort an expedition of 1,300 settlers to a small island off the coast of Harandar to form a colony. 16 transport cogs and 3 warships are sent to transport and defend the colonists.

Religion

​

A small contingent of about fifty monks and nuns go alongside the colonists to found an abbey.


The Holy Seer of the Church of Alisa has proposed a meeting with the high priests of the Cult of Astor to look into the compatability of their religions.

Research

​

The Elixir of Life is tested on prisoners awaiting hanging in the jails of Vezenia.

​

You labeled an island near Terrianian empire not harandar

 

[lcomstock4]

Or is it two islands ?

 

[Shireling]

Or is it two islands ?

It's one. I misspoke, not mislabeled, but I thought the map would clarify.

 

[lcomstock4]

I understood just wanted to clear everything up

 

[Shireling]

I snuck hobbits into this. Ya like that shit, don't you?

 

[Shireling]

Okay, so here's the map of Elisia. Note that where I wrote out "Fields" or "Pasture Land" I was hoping you would have some graphic to represent that. I didn't name all the rivers, if you can do that then just give them something Italian-sounding. And I labeled the location of smaller villages but didn't name them either.


If you're unclear on something, ask me.
