Re: Twokinds Industrial Interest Check/Sign-up
Hello, welcome! Take a seat and prepare your belts because it's going to be quite the ride! Im Dr. Butterscotch, Masters Degree in made up History, and hears the current situation in our made up lore!
As some of you may know, Twokinds takes place in the year 482. So, our story takes place 1345 years after the events of twokinds! Welcome to the year of 1827! Much has happened to Mekkan since then!
We have a bunch of jolly old alliances and nationalities, so, one by one i will go through their current situation.
The Basitin Alliance
After sailing to Vipen Shipyard to finally extend their reach to the mainland, the Basitins quickly took a liking to the fox trbes, whom desperately requested for Basitin aid against the wolf tribes who were mercilessly taking fox land at an alarming rate. The Basitins agreed and very easily beat back the wolf tribes all the way up to East Spruce and West Spruce! However, The Templar Order saw this as an opportunity for a land grab and beat the Basitins back, these Mainland Basitins were ill-equipped to take on a much more well equipped and train army and retreated back, yet to this day, they still hold Foxhunt and Tylerwynn. Now, 30 years have passed since then (1798), Basitins and Foxes have formed the Basitin Alliance and mutually share their niché spot on the mainland. However, with guns on the rise, Basitins face a conundrum. Do they take these new weapons to even their odds on the battlefield? Or do they disregard these weapons as Dishonourable contraptions, manufactured by evil itself! The Alliance is REALLY tearing itself apart!
The Basitin Alliance and The Dragon Empire are allies on paper, but this Alliance has become somewhat strained in recent years. Especially since the Basitin's growing friendship with the White Republic. Relations are not well between The Templar Order and The Emerald Confederacy, whilst public opinion on the Felines remains Neutral
The Emerald Confederacy
Oh, The Emerald Confederacy, such a fall from glory. 30 Years ago, King Rayke led them on a crusade south to take over the Fox lands and enslave all fox-kind. Such a strong Brave King was cut down in his prime by an unexpected foe, the Basitins were fighting for the Foxes. Now, King Rayke Jr. rules the land as a Tyrant, tight-fisted fool. Taxes are high and food is scarce, the poor Confederacy doesn't even have the money to buy railroads or muskets! This Alliance now owns the area from the Dolkiva lakes to Mawr island. Some of the older wolves still believe they can take back their land from the Templar and Basitin Plague!
Lets face it, since Rayke Jr., The Confederacy hasn't really been too nice to anyone. Quite the opposite.
The Dragon Empire
The Dragon Empire. It used to be the Human Empire but that doesn't quite sound so flashy. After driving the templar out of Morlin Hall in a bloody civil war, The Dragon Empire was content enough to let the Templars own from Knockford to the west....and not an inch more. Fast forward 800 years and boom! What have you? Another civil war! This time fought between the White Republic and The Dragon Empire, the White Republic felt the need to withdraw from the Empire due to outdated ideas and the desire for more reliable government. After this war (Which saw the introduction of cannons, wow!), the Dragon Empire was left with Whitefield and the Southern of the Twin Lakes. Slavery is still legal and the main religion is still Dragon Worship but a clumsy aristocracy has left wages low and workers angry. Angry enough for another civil war, hmm? Food for thought.
Relations with the Templar Order have calmed a bit and both nations have begun to make amends. Due to the somewhat recent secession, public opinion on the White Republic is Neutral. The Confederacy is rather rude. The Dragon Empire has a strained Alliance with the Basitins and a happy Alliance with the Felines
The White Republic
The White Republic decided to secede from the Dragon Empires frankly outdated ideas and traded in for a government closer to home (Based in Ditteridge). The Humans of The White Republic and the Snow Wolves of the north had gotten rather friendly in the past, and nowadays it is nigh-impossible to find someone who isnt a Keidran/Human mix. The White Republic do face the issue of farming though, being much more north than our other nations, they often struggle with farming and find themselves dipping into their treasury to trade for food. This has left budget cuts low in some areas like Highway Patrols and Rail Marshalls.
Against the Confederacy and Templars, Neutral on the Empire and Felines. Basitin relations have been improving recently.
The Felines
Nobody really has much to say about the Felines, and thats because nobody really knows what the Felines get up to. "But Dr. Butterscotch! That's just lazy writing!" I hear you cry. Well, how about you read on before you open your big mouth. The Felines are separated from the rest of the world by sea and a nearly impassable mountain range. All we know about the Felines is that some 400 years ago, they signed a peace treaty with the Dragon Empire and there seems to be a lot of Men's rights rallies going on in that part of Mekkan.
Allied with the Dragon Empire, Templars haven't been very well mannered at the Dinner table as has been the Confederacy. Neutral with all other alliances.
The Templar Order
"Oooo, the Big Bad, Bad guys of our story! I cant wait to hear how EVIL they are!" Well, worry not young one, for i have lots of evil in store! The Templar Order, after a rather nasty divorce with the Dragon Empire, fled West and took their half of the alimony, which is from Knockford to New Wreathwood. But the Evil Templars did grin a greedy grin, and when they saw the wolf lands being taken over so effortlessly, decided it was time to rise up and take their piece of the pie! Claiming Eastspruce and Westspruce for themselves! The Templars are well equipped with magic and muskets, Mind-wiping shackles are mandatory for all slaves and the people living in Templar Lands live in fear of Execution. Those whom own some land within their borders are forced to cough up some money or be replaced! Not a fun place to live in, not one bit.
"If your Nation has Keidran or Basitin in it, we don't like you!" is the unofficial Templar motto. The Templars have been making moves to improve relations with the Dragon Empire.
Class Dismissed!

Re: Twokinds Industrial Interest Check/Sign-up
Have anymore towns or cities popped up since then?
Also, among which of the villages and places from the 479 era are there now industrial era-sized cities in their place?

Yes, most major cities like Ditteridge are more industrialised.zackepic22 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:08 pm Have anymore towns or cities popped up since then?

If you look on your map you should see 4 new cities. Eastspruce, Westspruce, Blackwell and New Wreathwood. There's also the rebel hideout at the Timber Ruins. And the new Basitin Camp in the Fox territory.

And thats just what we bothered to put on the map. Small hamlets and villages just would have cluttered it beyond use.
