[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Unless there is anything left to post in the Pyramid thread, I'll send it to the Archive.
 
Sherwood, knowing what we currently know of this Age, how much would we attract attention to ourselves if I arrive at Lookshy on an airship? Is there any other way to make the trip more discreet?
 
You can land a short distance away and approach on foot, or have one of the Dragon Blooded play front-man for you and say that the ship is theirs. Or you can just say the heck with it and fly up and let the chips fall where they may.
 
I'll do this, I'll land at a distance and approach on my eagle, in their eyes I would be nothing more than a Metagalpan rider, since I doubt they can tell the difference from their hawks and the giant eagles of the north.


One more question, I don't remember much but what was Lookshy in the first age? Their city god was important back then?
 
IIRC, there was a city there, and the 7th sort of took over after the fall of the Shogunate. In that case, Aurora would know that there is a hearthstone in the city that allows the city defenders to track anything flying around the city, up to a distance of 100 miles. With that in mind, will you want to just fly up, or stick with the plan to approach on your own eagle?
 
Can you guys believe that there is now a total of 20 archived threads in this game? I haven't had a game last like this since my first run of Lunar Fury.
 
I'll stick to landing at least 100 miles away, and approach on Éanna to remain more or less undetected, don't wanna trigger their alarms and cause them to panic before time. I assume Aurora goes alone, but if anyone decides to join in go ahead.
 
Good deal. Just wanted to make sure that you had all the info available before posting.
 
Mmmm, I want to go everywhere. But we really should bring Ryu to Denandsor, it beimg thcity of artifice and such.


When are we going to the Roseblack's camp?
 
On a quick re-read of Lookshy, the city is built on the ruins of Deheleshen, gotta get my DoTFA and read that chapter to get an idea of what Aurora would know of that.


On another note, what's the overall posture we're using when approaching the other powers in the East? Are we addressing ourselves as the rulers/owners of Rathess? or are we keeping a low profile first? I know Skadi mentioned more or less she is settled on Rathess to Ma-Ha-Suchi, but Ryu and De have not mentioned where they came from specifically to the Metagalpans.
 
It seems a bit presumptuous to call ourselves the rulers of Rathess when it's barely functional. Best hold off on that until we can actually back it up.
 
Not a word Aurora would use, but we are effectively the rulers of the city, better words can be used to describe our role, but that is what we are.
 
We have not had a proper IC discussion of foreign policy. So far, we're jst a bunch of Exalts living in the ruins of Rathess.
 
The bunch of Exalts that are using their powers to clean the city up and reclaim the old ruin from the jungle. There are a few malcontents in the area, but your Circle is the reigning power in the city.
 
I thought our foreign policy was that we were the new Solar Deliberative. Meaning we're in charge now, so put up or shut up. :P


More seriously, one idea that aways amused me was taking over the world via socioeconomic influence, rather than brute military force, so establishing trade and good relations should be considered important to us. Then once people are semi-dependent on us for goods and services, initiate a slow-but-steady bid for control.
 
A slow going, but very effective way of getting things done.
 
Once they are dependent on us for goods and services, er are in control? Haven't you read Dune? ;-)


The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.


Paul-Muad'Dib to the Guild navigators, at his confrontation with the Emperor Shaddam IV.
 
As long as its good with Aurora to have you ride with her on the eagle, its good for me. The more the merrier.
 
I want to go to Lookshy, Denandsor, Yu-Shan and the Rosenblack. How many of them can I get to, and would the rest of you call me infernalist if I got Splintered Gale Shintai? :P
 
Considering how we're from the first age, and would have a heavy bias against anything to do with the Yozis, yes. :P
 
Rin is more than welcome to come on the Lookshy trip.


And Esbilon, Rose is bordering as a brain-washing overlord, don't push your luck :P
