Hello. I would like to clarify that I love the RP idea, but will not be able to join presently.
I'll revisit this in the future if I have time to spare. Until then, best of luck with this project!
 
Was the Battle of Merlions between Fydrians and Carmons? Is there open war between the two rn? I assume not since King Grenn is vassal to King Hiberion
 
Hm, I'm having trouble deciding which nation would best fit my character idea. Do you have any ideas, Lorsh?
 
Hey Lorsh, question that came to mind. Do you have to be a noble of some sort? Could you be a vassal of a player?
 
Heyitsjiwon Heyitsjiwon Doin' good, good to see you as well!

You could be a vassal of a player, sure. That'd still likely entail being noble, though. I suppose other characters, like courtiers, ladies (non-regnant), etc. could be players as well.

Interested. I'll probably get something tangible for a character sheet late Friday.

Questioneno, what's the closest approximate year or era of the setting's technology and society of the setting? 1300s? 1000s? Ect.

1250 or so. Mail rather than plate is king, though bits of the latter still exist. No gunpowder, poleaxes, or halberds, really.

How wacky can characters be when it comes to races other than human? I assume it's extremely difficult for them to interact with humans due to prejudice, but when it comes to playing them, what options would be available?

They'd probably be too hard to incorporate into the RP, since they're kinda powerless, politically.
 
I noticed the presence of Valots among my retinue. At first I though yiu meant Varlets (squires) until I noticed I already have squires. Are valots actually valets de pied (foot soldiers)?
 
Retainers come in the following flavors:

Knights (named characters except household knights, full mail harness plus supplementary plate armor, mail-barded horse)

Squires / Men-at-arms (full mail harness, plain or cloth-barded horse)

Sergeant (Mail top only, plain horse)

Valot (padded armor, on foot or plain horse)

Plus valots and sergeants can use crossbows, where men-at-arms and higher tend to hold the weapon in disdain.

There is some overlap. A sergeant that is fully armored might be identical to a man-at-arms (and thus be a sergeant-at-arms). Some squires are younger and less keen on direct confrontation, while others are fully mature, just lacking a title of knighthood.

Speaking of troops, are there any focuses (of the lord's personal retinue or the levies/militia) that you guys want me to be aware of? Archers, infantry, cavalry, etc.
 
I was thinking along the French Ordinances during the 1300s that formed lances and companies. A lance was ~7-8 men led by a knight/senior man at arms. The knight was accompanied by a mounted serjeant/horseman and squire, ~2 mounted archers, and ~2 foot soldiers. Lances can come together to form companies that are led by banner knights/nobles.

That said, my retinue looks like it could fit in that kind of system already so all good on my end.

Money info.....

Fantasy - Fᴀᴛᴇ ᴏғ Sᴛᴇᴇʟ | Money

[Price lists are not a necessary read unless you want to buy something along these lines.] The silver penny is the standard currency in all the kingdoms. Copper and bronze coins are sometimes used for smaller change - though, using even smaller silver coins is more common. Wealthier people...

Almost got the thread up, just gotta add a few more things. I hope you guys don't mind starting off with some disparities between your houses.
